369: Chapter 358 The Final Offensive. What does the fall of the kingdom have to do with us Saint-level beings?Brando left, departing in such a great hurry that he didn’t even have time to say goodbye.

Novak waved away his adjutant and sat back down in his wooden chair, a growing sense of unease rising in his heart.

Reasonably speaking, it shouldn’t be like this.

Although Brando had accompanied the army ever since they set out, he had never indicated he would participate in the war; instead, he emphasized that he was merely an observer.

Why care about the departure of an irrelevant person?

Yet, for some reason, Novak felt a sense of eeriness permeating everything.

Even if there were urgent matters to handle back home, surely there was enough time to say a quick word?

”It’s almost... like he’s fleeing for his life,” Novak muttered. ”What is he afraid of?”

Even if the allied forces were defeated, or even if the entire army was wiped out within Lake’s borders, what did it have to do with him?

He hadn’t participated, after all.

Novak sat there in silent contemplation. His intuition told him that if he could figure this out, his unease would vanish.

However, after thinking for a long time without finding a clue, he gave up in frustration.

”Just why...”

With the strange feeling lingering in his heart, Novak grew irritable. He stood up and summoned his adjutant.

”Lord Marshal.”

”Go and assemble the cavalry.”

”As you command!”

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he would stop thinking about it. Once Lake was leveled, any unease would naturally dissipate.

Novak gave himself a mental pat on the back for his brilliant decision.

...

The Allied Forces Main Camp.

Zhang Mu hovered in the air, gazing toward the horizon with a puzzled look.

That figure just now... why did it look so familiar?

Hmm... leaving the camp at this time and heading toward the border... going back to bring reinforcements?

Zhang Mu had already figured out the allied forces’ true strength, so he didn’t care if they brought reinforcements. He stopped overthinking it, landed, and began wandering around the camp to gather intelligence.

The camp was filled with patrolling ordinary Soldiers, so there wouldn’t be any secrets there. Thus, Zhang Mu began checking the tents one by one.

After ducking into over a hundred Soldiers’ tents, he finally found the commander-in-chief’s.

He looked around, but unfortunately, aside from a map spread out on the table, there were no surprising discoveries.

The allied commander seemed to store important military intelligence in crystals and carried them on his person.

Zhang Mu wasn’t disappointed. He dusted himself off and walked out, preparing to return.

”Rumble—”

Just as he stepped out, the ground suddenly vibrated. He realized that only the Mutated Rhino-Oxen could create such a commotion among the allied forces.

Assembling the cavalry... are they going all out?

Zhang Mu knew very well how heavy the pressure from the Earth weapons he had pulled out one after another was on the natives of the Saul Continent.

After all, in war, the greatest taboo is for the enemy to possess power unknown to one’s own side.

”Let’s go take a look.” Following the principle of ’since I’m already here,’ Zhang Mu put his hands behind his back and strolled toward the source of the sound, soon arriving at a clearing.

In the clearing, the remaining twenty-odd thousand Mutated Rhino-Ox cavalry of the allied forces were lined up in neat formations.

Today’s weather was not pleasant. Heavy, leaden clouds obscured the sun. Though it was high noon, the light around them was somewhat dim. A fierce wind swept through, picking up grass clippings that stuck to the snapping banners before being whisked away an instant later.

This group of cavalry was indeed the elite legion of the allied forces.

The cavalrymen sitting on the backs of the Pack Rhinos had solemn, murderous expressions, their eyes not even blinking against the wind.

”They’ve actually got some skill,” Zhang Mu said casually as he watched from a distance. ”Too bad the Pack Rhino’s skin can’t withstand a tank blast.”

Cavalry wouldn’t be assembled for no reason. Clearly, the allied commander had lost his patience and was unwilling to continue the stalemate with Lake on the plains.

Zhang Mu squinted for a moment, then soared into the sky, arriving at Domit’s Command Post.

”Have you received the frontline intelligence?”
