I have a Synthesizer

"Esmond's son, his methods are truly similar!"

Klein didn't refute, nor did he want to. Just as Roger wanted to take responsibility for his subordinates, Klein also needed to take responsibility for his own people.

This time, he brought not only his main force but also his lover and his mother.

If he were to fall here, it would truly be a wipeout.

"Lord Roger, the better you complete your mission, the smoother our operation will be. As long as the operation is swift enough, I am confident I can bring you back safely.

As for your subordinates, cherish the last moments you have with them."

"Steel Brotherhood, charge!"

…

After the 200 members of the Steel Brotherhood left, Katie was the first to approach Klein.

"You're being too much, Klein. And I didn't expect Roger to agree to such a thing without any hesitation.

They are remarkable heroes, don't you think?"

Klein's expression remained indifferent. He didn't particularly like the word 'hero' because heroes usually meant sacrifice.

"Once we return, we will also be heroes, won't we?"

Klein's rhetorical question stunned Katie for a moment, but she nodded, seemingly acknowledging Klein's statement.

Progett, who was on the side, had been observing Lilith for quite some time. Since Klein was responsible for all the tactical planning, she was idle enough to chat with Lilith at this moment.

"Lilith, will Klein marry you?"

"Yes!" Lilith said with certainty.

"I don't think so, because he hasn't awakened yet. Once he awakens, we will be the most perfect match."

"That's what you think, not what he thinks. Besides, you are too young right now."

"Young? You're still too naive, Lilith. I only need a few months to grow up. By then, you will witness what true terror is."

Klein walked over at this moment, interrupting Progett's flirtatious talk.

"Are you particularly bored? If you're bored, put in more effort during the battle later. Don't harass my people here."

Klein's straightforward protectiveness made Lilith feel comfortable, but it annoyed Progett.

"Your people? She's your person, then what am I?"

"We are currently just allies. Until we achieve our goals, that's all we are. There's no extra relationship between us. You need to understand that, Progett.

I still haven't fully trusted you. You need to do something to make me feel like I can trust you."

Klein was cold and forceful at this moment. His attitude seemed to have completely changed from the moment he landed, as if he was indifferent to everyone.

Not only Progett and Roger, but even Lilith and Katie noticed this.

However, they could roughly guess Klein's current mood. Was it because of worry and tension?

Seeing that Klein was not in a mood to joke around, Progett didn't want to argue with him at this time and began to change the subject.

"When do we depart? Those Steel Brotherhood members should have encountered some of Grandor's patrols by now, right?"

Klein took out a pocket watch, glanced at the time, and said to everyone else.

"Synchronize your watches, departure in 5 minutes."

…

Within Grandor's Fourth Army Group, General Raphael was listening to his subordinates' report.

"The target is approximately 200 people, led by someone suspected to be a Transcendent. They are attacking from our northwest corner.

Their mobility is extremely high, and they have already breached the outer defenses. The leading Transcendent, based on the abilities and combat style displayed, closely resembles the leader of the three major organizations of Tyrrell, the Berserker Roger of the Steel Brotherhood."

"Roger, he's a veteran. I didn't expect it to be him instead of Alune."

"General, should we send people to intercept them now? After all, it's Transcendent combat power. If we don't deal with them quickly, it could lead to some immeasurable consequences."

Raphael wasn't too worried about Roger's issue because their military strength far surpassed Tyrrell's.

"Notify Tam and the others, and have Tam's side handle it. Our duty is to protect the Magic Fusion Group. Everything else is just a smokescreen from Tyrrell.

Their ultimate goal must be the Magic Fusion Group, so as long as we guard the mages, we won't have to worry about not earning military merit.

Tell the soldiers to remain calm. I think Roger and his men are just bait. Tyrrell's attack is still behind this."

"Yes, General!"

Raphael was very much looking forward to it. He believed that if Tyrrell wanted to destroy the Magic Fusion Group, they would definitely send more than just a 200-man team.

To complete a decapitation strike, such a team would need at least two Transcendent leaders and at least 500 elites. Roger would lure them in, and then another Transcendent would launch a decapitation strike from behind.

Just as Raphael predicted, Klein and his group had already begun to stealthily move towards Grandor's Fourth Army Group.

Raphael's analysis was actually very accurate, but even a famous general of Grandor underestimated Klein's trickery.

Their team, at most, consisted of Klein, Lilith, Joe, Eric, Aiyi, Katie, and Progett, only six people.

Moreover, their Transcendent combat power was not just two people, but four.

With Roger as bait, and Klein, Progett, and Katie as the main force, this six-person team had gradually approached Grandor's Fourth Army Group using their respective stealth methods.

Raphael had already drawn his greatsword and was slowly wiping his weapon with the prepared blade oil.

His eyes kept twitching, and he had a strange sense of unease in his heart, but he didn't know where this unease came from.

Logically speaking, he was in the center of the Fourth Army Group, with a 3,000-mage corps, a large number of guerrillas, and more than 10,000 warrior-class professionals.

Such an environment should be absolutely safe, so why did he have this strange feeling! Could it be that he was too excited about the imminent capture of Beluga Fortress?

"Go, have Pei Pang come over."

Pei Pang was a Rank 5 expert personally trained by Raphael. Although Raphael felt that he wouldn't be in any danger in the center of the Army Group, years of caution still prompted him to make some defensive preparations.
