The knights had almost thought they had misheard. The holy Abigail was actually so easy to talk to.
But this was a good thing. No one wanted their efforts to be ignored.
Thus, the knights inside the fortress quickly organized themselves.
The fortress command had no idea they were about to make a move. After all, this was only a small-scale operation, and the knights had the authority to carry it out.
He Kai still did not know that danger was approaching. He methodically directed the knights in their tunneling operation.
Moreover, having gradually built up some prestige, knights from the other families were also willing to cooperate with them.
After all, he had brought everyone back alive every time while keeping casualties to a minimum. They were convinced by that.
He Kai himself did not stay idle either. On the battlefield, he could not stand out too much, or becoming the focus of enemy fire was inevitable.
At least on the surface, everyone looked the same.
He had even changed his mech's paint job to keep himself from being singled out.
Disguised as just another member of the tunneling crew, He Kai could openly slack off while focusing all his attention on the battlefield.
Inside the tunnel entrance, the Sacrificial Civilization knights, fully armed and ready to go, had already made their preparations.
The moment the passage opened, they would rush out and kill the enemy's frontline commanders.
The same arrangement was spread across the entire battlefield.
Commanders at He Kai's level had been marked, and lower-ranking officers had not been overlooked either.
Of course, the current command system could not possibly rest entirely on one person.
But concentrating their attacks on commanders could still produce results.
Boom!
With a casual strike from He Kai, steel shards flew everywhere.
