Out of Control, Severed Arm

The young man paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If such a giant dragon appears on the battlefield, how could it possibly consider its own people when attacking?"

Chiba moved the sword away, giving him a deep look, as if to warn him.

"Mr. Jikade, I hope you can send troops to support Tianna immediately. Whether for your sister's sake or for the sake of justice, you must support her at full speed," Chiba said earnestly.

"Absurd!"

Kangnaite roared, "We're almost at the enemy headquarters, and you're sending us to support Tianna? Who's going to command the front lines? What if something unexpected happens?"

"So you're just going to stand by and watch a town be destroyed by a dark guild?"

"Tianna is a warrior of the Magic Council! This is the mission assigned to her, and missions must be carried out unconditionally. Even if it means death! She will defend that town!" Kangnaite glared and shouted angrily.

Chiba suddenly chuckled softly. He met the young man's gaze, his eyes filled with mockery. "So you send a sixteen-year-old girl to fight on the battlefield, while you sit in this tent, in front of a crystal ball, trying to control the overall situation and analyze the battle?"

"I didn't say it was wrong; a war does indeed require strategic planning..."

He suddenly flew into a rage, his face contorted like a wild beast, even his breathing became erratic. "So... this is how you abandon her?! Like discarding a pawn that's no longer of value, letting her death bring you glory? Your prestige?!"

"You brat, if you dare to talk nonsense again..."

"Who's in charge of intelligence?" Jikade asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the team... Captain... It's me..." A young man stepped out from the crowd, his voice trembling.

"How is Tianna doing?" Jikade asked.

He said, "Captain, everything... everything is safe."

Jikade looked at Chiba.

Kangnaite sneered, "Kid, did you hear that now? Vice-Captain Tianna is completely unharmed."

"Raise your head..." Chiba said in a deep voice, placing his hand on the young man's shoulder.

He seemed a little nervous, but he still looked up.

But suddenly, it felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer, and then his eyes lost their light.

"How is Tianna?" Chiba asked, his Sharingan.

He said blankly, "This is bad. A large number of monsters have invaded, and Shadow Skull have appeared. Even the Earth Throne has appeared there. Vice-Captain Tianna is fighting desperately, but it seems that the entire army is almost wiped out."

As the young man finished speaking, the surrounding crowd fell into a brief daze.

"What did you say?!" Jikade grabbed his collar and shouted angrily.

At first, he didn't quite believe Chiba's words. The latter had been on the front lines for so long, and when he returned, he was severely wounded. How could he possibly know anything about Tianna's situation? Jikade respected him, so he didn't stop him.

Later, upon hearing the news, I breathed a sigh of relief.

But now...

"Who told you to deliberately conceal this information? Why did you conceal this information?" Chiba said in a deep voice.

"Lord Kangnaite... the reason... I... don't know the reason either..." the young man said blankly.

Chiba deactivated the Sharingan's control, and the young man collapsed. Someone helped him to the military tent.

"Kangnaite..." Jikade turned to him with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

Kangnaite gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, I'm only doing this so as not to distract you. Think about it, if we take down the headquarters of the Sword of Slaughter, you'll definitely be promoted, and even being transferred to headquarters wouldn't be a problem. With Vice-Captain Tianna's strength... she should be able to hold out. Then we can go and provide support, killing two birds with one stone!"

Jikade unleashed a surge of powerful magical energy, grabbed Kangnaite by the collar, and growled, "That's my sister! You want me to gamble with her life?"

"Jikade, what do you want to do?!" Kangnaite was grabbed by the collar and roared back, "This isn't just your unit! So many of us have died. If we don't achieve anything, what will the other divisions think of us? Are you letting our brothers lose their lives for nothing?"

"What's your relationship with Bolunte?" Chiba asked casually.

Kangnaite's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "What... what relationship?!"

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of sword light, Kangnaite's arm was severed, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Ahh!"

Kangnaite fell to the ground, his face contorted in pain. He clutched his wound, howling in agony, his body twisted into a ball.

"Chiba, you!" Jikade was taken aback and prepared to step forward to stop him.

"Don't get in my way!" Chiba gave him a cold look.

Jikade was somewhat stunned. He noticed Chiba's suddenly cold tone and abrupt change in attitude.

But his pupils contracted slightly, because he clearly sensed that an extremely powerful magical force was erupting from Chiba's body!

Shouldn't his magic power be very low? Why is he radiating such terrifying magical pressure now? This is... comparable to the magic power of S-Class Mage.

At the same time, a faint black mist began to emanate from Chiba's body, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere.

He kicked Kangnaite, making the latter gasp in pain, but he grinned maliciously and said, "I asked you, what the hell is your relationship with this damn Bolunte?!"

"Say it! Huh?!"

"You think you're so capable?! Hiding information? For the sake of your brothers? Do you have a grudge against Tianna? Isn't she one of your brothers?!"

Chiba cursed angrily as he kicked Kangnaite like a football until Kangnaite grabbed his leg.

"Lord Bolunte... will not let you go..." he gritted his teeth, the pain almost making him faint.

"Then go tell him I've reserved his head in advance." Chiba kicked Kangnaite hard, sending him flying back in front of Jikade.

He seemed to regain his composure, and said calmly, "He's already one of Bolunte's men, Jikade. You decide what to do..."

Looking at the disheveled figure at his feet, Jikade's eyes revealed a complex expression. He said, "It seems you already know about my feud with Bolunte."

"Hmm." Chiba nodded and said, "But I don't understand why Bolunte is targeting you all so much just because he can't have Tianna."

"Because he doesn't want others to have what he can't have," Jikade said. "That's the kind of man he is—cunning, despicable, and ruthless."

Jikade suddenly looked up, sighed, and said, "No matter what, I will not hand Tianna over to that kind of guy. Because every girl who falls into his hands becomes unbearable to look at. They even lose their dignity as human beings, they are not even worthy of being called slaves, it's simply... hell on earth..."
