As the sun sets behind the western mountains, the golden glow spills into the military camp, casting shadows on Solomon's face, creating a stark contrast. Inside the camp, the sergeants' voices thunder, constantly berating the soldiers, ordering them to quicken their pace, ensuring ammunition, weapons, and necessary equipment are prepared for the impending battle. Everyone is busy and tense, with a sense of urgency hanging in the air.
Solomon's gaze involuntarily shifts to the general's tent. There, Palladio, the man he distrusts, has been standing for a while without making any move, seemingly plotting something inside. A hint of unease creeps into Solomon's heart, knowing that Palladio's intentions are always elusive, and every decision he makes could have a significant impact on the outcome of the battle.
At this moment, the last brilliant rays of sunlight disappeared behind the horizon, bringing the tranquility and coolness of the night. However, for everyone in the military camp, this tranquility was just the calm before the storm. Solomon knew that once the battle began, this tranquility would be no more.
Solomon's thoughts drifted away, and he couldn't help but recall the true cause of this war. The leader of the Human Federation, federal Chancellor Alexander Reagan, known for his cunning and strategic prowess, exploited the deep-seated hatred of all non-human races on the Western Continent instigated by Supreme Education to launch the "War of Annihilation." This action was not only based on hatred but also a strategic move aimed at fundamentally overcoming the Human Federation's continuous defeats and predicaments in the prolonged tug-of-war with the Demon Lord's army.
Alexander Reagan knew very well that in order to change the current predicament of the human federation, there must be a large-scale war to shift the people's attention, and at the same time, an external enemy must be found to unify internal divisions. So, he turned his attention to the non-human races that have long been seen as heretical and hostile by humans, especially those living on the Western Continent. They were painted as the common enemy of humanity and became the target of this war.
In the darkness of night, the glow of the campfire danced in the darkness, reflecting the serious and tense faces of the soldiers. As the guardian knight of the Supreme Education, Solomon had no doubt about Alexander Reagan's orders. Instead, he saw it as an excellent opportunity to glorify Nora and prove the power and loyalty of the Supreme Education and its followers.
However, what displeased him was that the forces of Supreme Education had to obey the command of the Human Federation Army. In his view, Supreme Education was not only a collection of beliefs, but also a powerful military force. Their warriors gained extraordinary combat power through their faith in Nora. Their tactics, fighting style, and flexibility were fundamentally different from the regular tactics of the Human Federation Army.
In this battle, the warriors of Supreme Education had to follow the command of the federal army, which made Solomon feel a sense of being bound. He believed that if they could freely fight according to the tactics of Supreme Education, they would be able to more effectively strike the enemy. But the reality forced him to suppress this dissatisfaction and face the common enemy together with the federal army.
The night breeze blew, bringing the rustling sound of the distant woods, and Solomon's gaze became more determined. Despite his dissatisfaction, he knew that the most important thing now was to unite all the forces that could be united and fight together against the enemy. For the glory of Nora and the victory of the Human Federation, he was willing to temporarily set aside personal emotions and fight alongside the federal army. In the upcoming battle, he would prove the power of Supreme Education, even under the command of the Human Federation army.
Solomon stood in the dark corner of the military camp, his figure appearing particularly lonely in the glow of the campfire. Just as he was immersed in deep thoughts about the future battle, a sudden intense headache struck, piercing his mind like millions of needles, causing him to involuntarily gasp for breath. This pain mercilessly eroded his consciousness, making it almost impossible for him to remain standing.
In the midst of pain, Solomon felt a hint of panic. He knew deeply that this pain was not to be taken lightly; it was not only a physical torment, but also a deep anguish of the soul. This pain had been with him constantly since he was rescued from the evil spell of Ruin, and whenever he attempted to pray to Nora, the pain would mercilessly strike, as if reminding him that he was no longer the pure guardian knight he once was.
In this unbearable pain, Solomon forced himself to maintain his last bit of sanity. He slowly crouched down, clasped his hands tightly together, placed them on his forehead, and whispered a prayer to Nora. His voice was weak and hoarse, filled with pain and supplication, "Oh Nora, please grant me strength to overcome this pain and continue to fight for your glory."
In Solomon's prayer, the noise of the camp seemed to fade into the distance, and everything around him disappeared, leaving only a deep conversation between him and Nora. However, when his prayer ended, the pain still tightly enveloped him, offering no relief.
Solomon's heart was like a volcano, with anger boiling within him. Whenever he thought of that battle, his heart was filled with endless fury. The goat, with its incredible power, had defeated him, and this sense of humiliation was like a piercing cold wind in Solomon's heart, making it hard for him to let go. Every quiet night, this sense of humiliation churned in his heart, leaving him restless.
Even more infuriating to Solomon was Ruin, the sinister sorcerer who, with his eerie magic, pulled him back from the brink of death. Though it saved his life, the feeling of being tainted by dark magic made Solomon feel polluted. His gratitude towards Ruin quickly turned into deep disgust and distrust. Whenever he saw Ruin's deathly face, Solomon was filled with revulsion.
Deep within Solomon lay an unwavering determination for revenge. He swore to crush the goat and make it pay a painful price, to show it the consequences of challenging the guardians of Supreme Education. As for Ruin, Solomon was equally filled with unstoppable thoughts of revenge. He would not forget the humiliation and pain. Solomon's eyes gleamed with a cold light, his mind filled with only one thought: vengeance. He knew that the path of revenge was full of thorns and challenges, but he would not retreat. He would make all his enemies pay for their actions.
