I AM A MAGE BUT WITH MILF SYSTEM

Chapter 318 This fucker was selling us out all along

Some stumbled over one another, some collided and fell, while some were stepped to their death as they tried to escape the fate they knew was closing in on them.

Arberus shouted in fury, "You fuckers! Where are you running to?!"

But his words were like dropping a bottle of water into an ocean—completely meaningless. The soldiers didn't listen.

They were already too far gone, lost in their panic, and it was clear that their resolve had shattered.

Lian watched with a mixture of frustration and defeat. He shook his head. "Forget about it, Arberus. Those are just bandits and criminals. Who would expect loyalty from them?"

The words seemed to hang in the air as the last remnants of his army fled into the distant forest.

Lian's gaze remained fixed on the now-empty battlefield, and for the first time in a long while, he felt the weight of defeat crushing down on him.

Julian had won—not just the battle, but their very will to fight.

Lian fell to his knees, his hands raised in surrender. "We surrender," he said, the words heavy with defeat.

Arberus hesitated, his gaze flickering between Lian and Julian before finally following. He, too, dropped to his knees, his hands raised.

Julian's lips curled into a smile. "Wise choice," he said, his tone both mocking and satisfied.

He turned to his soldiers and issued a command with a cold, calculated gaze. "Go and chain them."

Without a word, his men jumped into action and surrounded Lian and Arberus. They swiftly bound the two men with chains, treating them like criminals.

Lian and Arberus, once commanders feared in their own right, now sat shackled like prisoners awaiting their fate.

Julian's gaze shifted to the distant forest, his eyes narrowing as a sinister smile curled on his lips.

He took a deep breath before shouting to his soldiers, "The hunt starts now. Every head is worth 100 gold. You all know what to do."

For a moment, there was a chilling silence. Then, with a sudden loud sound, the army surged forward. Laughter and mocking shouts filled the air as the soldiers raced toward the forest, eager to claim their prize.

Lian and Arberus could only shiver in fear. They could hear the mocking laughter of the soldiers as they closed in on their prey.

The fate of everyone who had stood against Julian now sealed.

Lian's voice trembled as he whispered, "What have we done?"

A few hours earlier, inside the walls of the Easvil castle.

Alden sat, tapping his legs nervously. He glanced at Julian, who was standing by the window.

"Julian, go. We can't stay like this any longer. I trust you to handle this. Do what you must."

Julian turned to face Alden. "I will, Father," he said, his eyes glowing with fierce determination.

But before Julian could move, a voice interrupted. The commander, standing near the doorway, stepped forward.

"Your grace, we can't act without a proper plan. We should not rush in blindly."

Julian narrowed his eyes, staring at the commander. There was something about him that didn't sit right.

Alden was the first to speak. "Julian... What happened?" he asked, sensing the shift in Julian's demeanor.

His own composure cracked under the intensity of Julian's aura.

The commander rushed back into the room, and he was visibly shaken by the sudden change in the atmosphere. He froze for a moment as Julian's overwhelming aura filled the space, suffocating everyone around him.

The force of it made the commander's knees weaken. Before he could process what was happening, Julian quickly formed a barrier and trapped the commander inside.

"What are you doing?!" the commander shouted, his voice rising in confusion and fear.

His hands struck the barrier, trying to find a way out. He looked around frantically, his eyes wide with panic.

"I... I don't understand! Why are you doing this?"

Alden, who had been observing the situation, looked between Julian and the commander with growing concern.

His voice broke through the tension. "Julian, what is going on here?"

Julian's gaze didn't leave the commander.

The commander himself was clueless. "I... I don't know what's happening! I swear! I haven't done anything wrong! Why are you doing this to me?"

Julian took a slow step forward, his aura tightening around the commander.

"You have been leaking information, playing both sides... haven't you?" he asked.

The commander's eyes widened in disbelief. "Leaking information? No, I... I don't know what you are talking about!"

His voice cracked, and he continued desperately. "You have to believe me! I haven't done anything."

Alden tilted his head in confusion, but Julian's gaze remained fixed on the commander.

"You really expect me to believe that?"

The commander continued protesting, but Julian remained silent.

Alden, still confused, turned to Julian and asked again, "Julian... what's happening? What is going on with him?"

Julian raised his hand and pulled out a crystal ball. The orb hovered in the air, glowing faintly before flashing with a blue light.

Everyone in the room froze as an image materialized within the orb. It was the vivid replay of the commander's previous encounter in the secluded hallway.

The voice of Ethwer echoed through the crystal, and the commander's betrayal was played out in front of everyone.

The room fell into a tense silence as the violent scene concluded.

Alden's face darkened, and his hands clenched tightly at his sides. His aura leaked from his body, and he was barely able to hold it from exploding.

The soldiers exchanged stunned glances, and some murmured in disbelief.

Meanwhile, the commander who was trapped within the barrier stared at the crystal with wide, horrified eyes.

His face had drained of all color as he realized his betrayal had been completely exposed.
