Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

222: In Chapter 220, the final battle unfolds with back-and-forth probing.Mahamoda thought it best to immediately retreat to the Kingdom.

However, Brando, who had slightly regained consciousness, required everyone to obey Gideon’s orders and continue the war.

To this, he argued vehemently.

Over half of the Professionals were lost, and of the remaining two, one was heavily injured.

Although the main force of the legion hadn’t suffered many casualties and still held an advantage, they knew nothing about the enemy’s intelligence. Forget a decisive battle; even a war of attrition would be very dangerous.

For half an hour, Mahamoda cited many well-founded examples.

For instance, the King of Lagu was sacrificed due to underestimating the enemy, and the two people who ambushed their own Professionals had terrifying strength, and so on.

Brando did not interrupt or stop him.

After listening quietly, he first explained that he and the others were defeated one by one by those two strange Professionals, which led to the current result.

Furthermore, Brando keenly noticed that the young-looking man who first blocked their path released magic that was very unstable.

This meant he had forcibly increased his rank through external means.

His actual level was only Magister.

The same applied to the person who appeared later. If he were a Space-type Magister, would he still need to hide in the woods and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?

With a direct Space Cut, they would be lucky to escape with their lives.

Speaking of this, Brando emphasized: ”Mahamoda, you should understand just what kind of terrifying existence a Space-type Magister is.”

Then he continued his narrative.

Based on this, it was certain that Gur City only had two High-tier Professionals.

Even though more than half of their Professionals had died, the remaining you and I are still enough to deal with them.

Mahamoda listened quietly to him, and finally nodded wordlessly in tacit agreement.

Brando smiled and leaned against the headboard, looking at Gideon: ”Don’t worry about the High-tier Professionals; I will solve them.

You only need to consider how to annihilate Gur’s army.”

”Please rest assured, Lord Brando. Gideon will surely bring victory and glory to the Kingdom!”

Turning around, he strode out of the tent.

Watching his resolute back as it was obscured by the falling door curtain, the Legion Commander said:

”Brando, I think I’m already being quite adventurous, but you seem...”

He couldn’t quite figure it out.

One had to know that he and Gideon were the ones insisting on continuing the attack.

As long as Brando argued a bit, he could shift all the responsibility onto them.

No matter the outcome, he could stand in an invincible position.

If they won—Brando would describe his \”silence\” as decisive support.

If they lost—\”I didn’t say anything; it was all your own choice.\”

But he didn’t do that; instead, he took everything on himself and fully supported Gideon.

”Gideon was temporarily transferred to the Thorn Legion before the expedition. You know that, right?” Brando looked at the Legion Commander.

”Of course. It’s also because of this that I agreed to hand over command to him.”

”A second before I jumped onto the mushroom’s back, His Highness the Third Prince sent an urgent secret letter.

It said that regarding the war, if Gideon has an opinion, follow it unconditionally.

If the plan doesn’t go smoothly, or if there’s even a danger of being surrounded, the top priority is to safely send Gideon back.”

The Legion Commander was stunned and only spoke after a long while: ”Top priority?”

”Yes.”

”Meaning, including you and me?”

”Yes.”

Taking a deep breath, the Legion Commander instinctively pondered the hidden meaning.

He was useless, so it was understandable if he was abandoned. But what about Brando’s Professional squad?

A Magister, a Great Knight, three Magisters, plus the Kingdom’s most elite Rose Army—all of them couldn’t compare to one Gideon?

Seeing his face full of disbelief, Brando smiled again: ”The letter mentioned that this matter was consulted with your father, Grand Duke El, and he agreed.”

His breathing stopped instantly, and the Legion Commander suddenly clenched his fist: ”If I get back alive, I will definitely usurp his position as Grand Duke as soon as possible!”

...

Gideon knew nothing of the conversation inside the tent.

Even if he heard it, he wouldn’t care. He only needed to know that the enemy Professionals wouldn’t fall from the sky; a single high-tier magic spell would be enough.
