Henu Safir stepped forward, asserting his authority with a commanding presence.

"I, Henu Safir, am here to participate in this war and protect the people of Thebes. I declare that any enemy who stands before me will be demolished!" His voice boomed as his eyes blazed with anger, and his hair flowed wildly in the wind.

Silence loomed after his speech.

"What are you waiting for? FIGHT!" shouted Amara.

The soldiers roared, charging towards Henu Safir and his small band of warriors. Kasib, worried, urged, "We need to do something. He can't fight all of them."

Memnon replied with a smirk, "No need to worry about him. He's survived murder, assassination, and genocide. He won't break easily."

Henu looked at the soldiers, his eyes shining with an odd blue glow. He swiped his right hand to the left in their direction. "May Death be Upon you..."

In an instant, the soldiers' heads were swinging in the air while their bodies continued to run towards Henu, forgetting to stop. Kasib's eyes widened. At that moment he knew "I am no match," he thought, staring at the destruction before him.

Soon, the bodies fell to the ground.

Amara and Nefer stood wordless, their eyes fixed on the end of those soldiers.

"Good work, Commander," said Noya, smiling

Current Army Numbers

Royal Nebu: 4,000 soldiers remaining.

Royal Army: 7,500 soldiers remaining, plus the addition of Henu Safir.

Nefer looks over to Amara and says, "This is it. Give it your all, Amara. I'm going to do it."

Amara replies in worry, "Nefer, don't! We are outmatched. There is no point in risking your life now."

"Amara, I always wanted to say something to you," Nefer hinted. "Thank you for giving me a home."

However, before Amara could reply, the wind around Nefer started to stir rapidly. Red sparks came out of his body as he used "King the Final Stage," the highest peak of level 4. Before, Nefer could only control a handful of soldiers around him, but now he could control the whole army.

The ground shook as Nefer's red waves attached themselves to the soldiers' bodies. "What's going on?" questioned Kamil.

Memnon replied, covering himself with his hand, "He's using too much of his power. This is his peak."

"Shield!" Kamil shouted, protecting the group from rubble that floated in the sky due to Nefer's waves crashing everywhere.

"Henu and Menes, I'll get both of you. I'll take revenge for destroying our city, killing our people. I'll kill you, you hear me?" Nefer shouted in rage.

"ABSOLUTE..." Menes spoke, his eyes hidden with darkness.

While Henu Safir spoke, "MAY..."

"Destruction," Menes finished with a dark look in his eyes.

"Failure be upon you," Henu Safir finished with a grin on his face.

In a sudden rush, the soldiers began to run towards Menes. However, a whirlpool of darkness appeared behind him, while Henu Safir ran towards him, jumping in the air, getting ready to punch. "Eyes of HELIOS, lend me your strength," Henu spoke as his eyes glowed and the air began to Mold around his hand.

He pulled his hand back and sent a punch which broke the sound barrier towards the piled-up soldiers by Menes's whirlpool, spreading them through the battlefield up to 400 meters away.

While falling to the ground, Henu spoke, "WINGS," and the wind formed wings for him, which he used to descend slowly, finally landing next to Menes.

"Menes, you can go rest. You look beat up," mocked Henu Safir.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

The soldiers of the Royal Army cheered.

One soldier whistled, "Show 'em, Commander Henu! The drinks are on me tonight for you."

Henu replied to the soldiers, "Make sure you have enough money. Don't go back on your word."

Menes cracked his neck side by side. "I still got some strength to beat some sense into you for being so late."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. Got busy dealing with some bandits on the way," Henu replied.

"So how many did you leave alive?" Menes smiled.

"The bandits or the Nebu soldiers?" Henu asked, looking confused.

"The soldiers," Menes answered.

"Oh, don't worry. I didn't kill them. I knew you would definitely have killed me if I did. However, I did kill the bandits before. That was necessary. I hope you can understand."

"I do understand," Menes replied.

Kamil, with his horse and the squad, rushed over to Menes and Henu Safir. Henu Safir's squad united in the middle of the battlefield as well.

"So, Amara, you ready?" asked Menes, his eyes turning white while his red sinister smile echoed bloodlust.

Henu, on the other hand, cracked his hands.

Nefer stepped in front of Amara Kadesh. "I won't let them get to you, don't worry."

Nefer spoke, "It's been a very long time since I have had such tough competition."

Yune and Noya finally arrived, standing behind Henu.

"Commander, please make it quick. I wanna go home," Yune sighed.

While Noya energetically spoke, "Come at us with all you've got."

Yune looked at Noya with a disgusted face and spoke, "Aren't you tired from fighting the bandits before? Come on, man, level with me here. Give it a rest."

While Yune and Noya were arguing, Kasib couldn't help but admire Yune's strength. His purple armour gave him a commanding presence, and his skill and strength were felt on the battlefield by his aura.

"So, this is the strongest soldier other than the commanders," Kasib thought to himself.

"Let's begin," Nefer declared, sending one of his soldiers running toward Henu Safir.

Thudd—Henu's massive hand grabbed the soldier by the head, lifting him up effortlessly before hurling him south with incredible speed.

Nefer, unfazed, sent a horde of soldiers toward Menes. "Darkness Black Whip!" Menes shouted, his hand releasing a whip of darkness that swept the soldiers away, rendering them all unconscious.

Attempting to be sneaky, Nefer sent another soldier to attack from behind. Without looking, Yune shot an arrow that pierced the soldier's hand, making him unable to wield a sword. Yune glanced at Nefer, "Cheap trick."

Kasib, shocked, thought, "I didn't even hear the soldier. How did he know?" marvelling at Yune's awareness.

Meanwhile, Noya drew his sword and ran toward the crowd. "Wind of the Sword!" he shouted, his slash creating a powerful gust that sent soldiers flying.

Noya joked, "Commander, it would have been easier if we could kill them," smiling and licking his lips.

Nefer's face tightened with determination. "Amara, get ready," he urged.

Amara gripped her sword tightly, her eyes filled with resolve. "I won't let them break through."

As the battle raged on, Henu Safir, Menes, Yune, and Noya demonstrated their overwhelming power, making it clear why they were the commanders and royal guards. The battlefield was a whirlwind of strength and strategy, each side pushing to gain the upper hand.

Nefer, despite the odds, continued to command his soldiers, his determination unwavering. "This is far from over," he muttered, preparing for the next move.

The Royal Army soldiers cheered for their leaders, their spirits lifted by the display of power. The Nebu soldiers, though outmatched, fought with everything they had, driven by their loyalty and desperation.

In the midst of the chaos, Kasib watched in awe, realizing the true power and skill of the royal guards.

Amara Kadesh stared at Menes and Henu Safir, her eyes frozen in one direction, locked in an unblinking gaze. She looked and looked, unable to move.

"Nefer, stop!" she shouted, tears forming in her eyes.

Nefer, confused, turned to her. "What is up with you?"

Amara's voice trembled as she spoke, "That's... that's my brother Kamil."

Everyone's eyes turned toward Kamil. Henu Safir's face filled with shock, Menes turned his head slowly, awe-struck. Yune and Noya instinctively aimed their weapons at Kamil's head.

Khonsu and Memnon, both lost for words, stood with eyes wide open, while Ramon, slower on the uptake, still struggled to piece together the clues.

Kamil, standing amidst the chaos, looked back at Amara with a mixture of surprise and recognition. "Sister?" he uttered, his voice barely audible over the din of the battlefield.

Amara's tears flowed freely now. "Kamil, it's really you!" she cried out, her sword lowering as the weight of the revelation sank in.

Nefer, still reeling from the shock, asked, "What are you talking about, Amara? How can he be your brother?"

Amara took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "We were separated when we were children. I left him in a building to go and search for our parents, and I thought he was lost forever. But there he is... my brother."

Kamil, his own emotions surging, took a step forward. "Sister, I've been looking for you all these years. I joined the Royal Army to find you, to protect you."

The battlefield seemed to pause in a moment of surreal stillness. The Royal Army soldiers, the Nebu soldiers, and even the commanders and Royal guards took in the scene, the intensity of the battle momentarily overshadowed by this unexpected reunion.

Menes, lowering his weapon, looked at Henu Safir. "What now, Henu?"

Henu Safir, still processing the situation, took a deep breath. "Family ties run deep. This changes things."

Nefer, his resolve softening, turned to Amara. "What do you want to do, Amara?"

Amara, looking at Kamil with a mix of joy and sorrow, replied, "I want to protect him, Nefer. But I also know where my loyalties lie."

Henu Safir, stepping forward, spoke with authority. "Let us resolve this with honour. Let the battlefield decide the fate of our armies"

The soldiers, both Royal and Nebu, nodded in agreement

"Amara, you may be my sister, but right now you are an enemy of my kingdom," Kamil shouted, his veins popping out of his head in anger. "You took the lives of innocent people! Commander, do not hold back—I won't either!" he shouted.

Henu Safir smiled grimly, taking his sword and charging forward. In a swift and unexpected move, he slashed deep into Nefer's chest. Nefer's body twisted from the force of the attack, and he fell to the ground with a silent thud.

"Nefer!" Amara screamed, rushing to his side. She knelt beside him, tears streaming down her face.
