"Now, you all have two options. Put your hands in the air and surrender. Or you all can accept death from me." These words sent chills down everyone's spine.

Leon and others soldiers were at a loss. Their decision could change their entire life. If they surrendered, they will become traitors of the Shadow Islands Empire. But if they don't surrender, this man was going to end their lives. Except for a few soldiers, almost all the soldiers had the idea of surrendering. After all, their life was bigger than becoming a traitor.

As long as they lived, they would be able to earn and provide for their families. Each soldier comes from a poor background. If they died, no one else was going to provide for and look after their family.

After a few seconds of silence, a certain soldier removed the helmet and dropped the sword on the ground.

Bang!

He then kneeled on the ground with his hands raised.

"Rex, why are you surrendering? Don't you feel no shame for betraying our homeland?" Another soldier who was Rex's friend asked him in a loud tone. While the others soldiers looked at Rex and waited for his answer.

Rex looked at his best friend with a smile and replied. "Let's be honest, the reason that we joined the military was that we wanted to earn good money and provide for our family. Yes, this Empire is my homeland but what this Empire has ever done for my family? Even though under His Majesty Liam, the Empire has grown stronger, the condition of my family never changed. We are not appreciated. We are treated just like slaves. In the end, this Empire needs soldiers to function. Even if we sacrifice ourselves for this Empire, tomorrow the Empire will hire not soldiers and forget about us."

"Tomorrow, if I died, my family won't receive a thing. The Empire won't even bother to retrieve my body and sent my dead body to my family. My position simply would be replaced by someone else. Why should I put risk my life for this empire? To me, my life matters more than anything." There was no passion in Rex's heart to protect this empire.

Hearing Rex's words, the least bit of hesitance that other soldiers had in their hearts also disappeared. Even Rex's best friend surrendered.

"We surrender" All the soldiers kneeled to the ground with their hands raised in the air.

Under the mask, Aditya smiled. "You all made the right decision. A few days later, a powerful Empire from the East will take over this entire Empire. Once the Empire takes over, I promise you all will be hired as soldiers. You all will be given higher salaries and much better treatment."

The soldiers didn't know why they should believe in Aditya's words. After all, he was someone who hid his face under a mask. He didn't even reveal the name of the Empire. But no soldier dared to ask any question to Aditya as they hadn't forgotten how swiftly he ended the lives of three generals. They just remained quiet and hoped in their hearts that he was speaking the truth.

Scene change____

At the same time, the four generals of the Istarin Empire approached the first wall.

"How are we going to enter Zion city?" Asked Josh. After all, now that the defensive dome around Zion had been activated, they can't just walk inside the city.

"Idiot, of course, we're going to break the defensive dome. I am sure his Majesty already has dealt with the generals from the inside. We just need to deal with the smaller bugs while our King ends King Liam's life." Scott replied while loading his golden bow with a black arrow.

Tsk!

"Don't call me an idiot. The real idiot is you who purposely avoids eating meat." Josh angrily replied.

Scott looked at Josh from the corner of his eyes before focusing on shooting his arrow at the defensive dome. "I don't like meat that's why I avoid consuming meat. I like eating vegetables. My lifestyle is much healthier, unlike a certain idiot who can't live without meat and wine." What Scott said was true. Josh likes Meat and wine way too much. No one has hardly seen Josh eating vegetables as the man hates even the smell of vegetables.

"What did you say?" Josh was ready to punch Scott.

"Cut it out! His Majesty has given us an important mission. Please stop your catfight." Amber sighed. This was the fourth time since the start of their mission that she had to step in and stop Josh and Scott from fighting. Both Josh and Scott act like 5 years old child and argues over the smallest things.

The relationship between Josh and Scott is really strange. Both grown men can never get along with each other. Both Captains argue over the smallest things. Even the calm, mature, and intelligent Scott is always acting like a child when arguing with Josh.

"It was him who started it." Josh pointed at Scott and complained like a child.

"I was just educating an idiot." Scott replied in an uncaring tone.

"What did you just call me?" Josh angrily glared at Scott.

"An Idiot who has no brain and only has muscles." Scott put his bow down and looked at Josh.

"I said cut it out!!!!" Amber released a little bit of her killing intent to stop Josh and Scott. Her killing intent worked like perfect medicine and sealed both captains' mouths.

Amber looked at Josh and Scott with a cold smile that sent chills down both Captain's spines. "Next time, I see you two fighting, I put you two under my illusion and make you two sleep together. And this won't be just any normal sleeping together."

Hearing this Both Josh and Scott trembled in fear. Both men clearly understood what Amber was saying. Just thinking of sleeping together made them horrified and also disgusted.

Even Nathan who was remaining quiet the entire thing trembled for a second. 'This woman is ruthless. Fortunately, I always have kept a distance from her. When I go back, I must warn the members of my division to keep a clear distance from Amber and her Division.' Nathan inwardly swore to never provoke Amber. This woman was truly terrifying.

"Alright, now that everyone has calmed down, let's break the defensive array and slaughter some soldiers." The cold Aura around Amber disappeared as if it never existed. She cheerfully smiled as if she was going to do noble work.

'This woman is truly dangerous. She just switched her personality within seconds.' If there was any Captain whom Nathan was scared of, it would be Amber. This fox woman had managed to spread her terror among the 7 divisions.

And just like that, the four Captains were in front of the first wall. "Alright, Scott please break the defensive barrier for us." Scott nodded before loading the golden bow with an arrow.

Nathan wasn't the leader-type Captain. And the soldiers who worked in Nathan's division had Nathan's personality. This is why Nathan never had any trouble controlling his Division.

Josh and Scott were always fighting like children. So Amber had to step up and take the role of leader. Although no one said it out loud Amber has been directing their moves and working as the leader. Without Amber's role as the leader, there was a high chance that the generals were going to mess up.

Under everyone's eyes, the arrow began to shine as Scott poured his mana into the arrow.

A deep purple glow on Scott's arrow attracted the attention of all the soldiers who were standing on top of the walls and guarding Zion city. "The enemy is here. Attack!"

The next second, thousands of arrows rained from the first wall. However facing thousands of arrows, the generals looked very relaxed.

Windshield!

Josh simply created an invisible windshield around him. None of the arrows were strong enough to break Josh's windshield. The Captain just stood there facing the arrows. His wild sharp eyes were on the soldiers that shoot arrows at Josh.

A few archers caught Josh staring at them with a wild smile.

Gulp!

'What kind of animal are we facing?' The archers wondered while taking a few steps back to avoid being seen by Josh.

A 2 meters black round shield formed in front of Nathan's body. The black shield was made from Shadow Manipulation. The shield was strong enough to withstand even magic cannon attacks.

"How long are you going take Scott?" Nathan asked in an impatient tone. The Shadow guardian was losing his patience. He couldn't wait to join his Monarch's side and fight beside him.

"Don't worry, I am almost done charging the arrow with Mana." Scott replied while dodging the arrows that were raining on him. It was unthinkable how a man can dodge so many arrows while getting ready to launch his attack.

As for Amber, the Royal Fox queen had disappeared when the arrows were launched. As for where she went, no one knew.

Tsk!

Josh noticed that because of having to dodge arrows, Scott was taking extra time in charging his arrow. Without saying a single word, Josh created another windshield around Scott so that the dark elf can focus on charging his arrow.

Scott and Nathan noticed the windshield but decided to not comment on it. This is how the relationship between Josh and Scott was. Both of them defended each other on the battlefield but both would always find a topic to argue about.

A few seconds later, the glow on the black arrow had reached its limit. A deep purple shine on the black arrow could be seen even beyond the walls. In the darkness, his arrow shined like the sun and radiated light in every direction.

Swoosh!!!

Under everyone's eyes, the arrow flew toward the defensive dome.

Booom!!!

All the citizens and all the soldiers protecting the first looked at the 1-meter-long arrow that hit the defensive dome. Under their horrified faces, the barrier shattered like glass.

In the distance, standing in his bedroom, Liam George watched as the defensive barrier of Zion city shattered from an attack of the enemy. Liam was still unaware of his three generals' deaths.

Liam tightly clenched his fists. "What are they doing?" By they, Liam meant his generals who had been killed by Aditya.
