'She is a general?'
Ace was at a loss for words because he did not expect Valeria's military rank to be that high.
"There is a reason for this." Scarlett said Valeria lost her parents and younger brother when countless magical beasts attacked their city.
At that time, her younger brother was a Lieutenant.
Even though he was still young, he was one of the most powerful city guards. Many people also liked him because he was a kind and easy-going person.
Everyone in the army believed he could achieve his dream of becoming a general like his older sister.
However, fate had other plans as he died defending the city from the attacks of countless magical beasts.
Before he passed away in his older sister's arms, he said he was a little sad because he still had not achieved his dream.
This was the reason why Valeria had two military ranks because she wanted to make her younger brother's dream come true.
"Can someone have two ranks?" he knew nothing about the army because he was not a soldier in his previous life.
"I gave her an exception because of her contributions and achievements." Scarlett told him that Valeria also did her duty as a general.
In other words, she was a general and a Lieutenant at the same time.
"I see." Ace finally knew why she could order Captain Noah and Captain Lia as she pleased.

Outskirts Nightshire City, Northern Region.
*Slash…Slash…Slash…
Valeria swung her dagger continuously.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Every time she swung her dagger, one magical beast died.
At that time, she looked like the goddess of war because she was unstoppable.
"Kill these damn magical beasts!" one of her subordinates roared.
"Kill them!" her other subordinates shouted in unison.
As Valeria's subordinates were in high spirits, the same thing did not happen to the magical beasts.
They were terrified, and their fighting spirit had diminished drastically.
Valeria's appearance destroyed their fighting spirit because she could kill magical beasts easily.
Some of them even had thoughts of running away because they were sure they would die if they continued to fight Valeria and her subordinates.
"What the fuck are you doing? Kill these humans now!" a 3-star rhinoceros roared angrily.
He was furious because his subordinates trembled in fear before their enemies.
Sure, he knew their number of enemies was huge, but he was sure he could kill them later.
'I have to kill that female human first.'
Valeria was the source of the loss of his subordinates' fighting spirit, so he knew that he had to kill her quickly.
"I will kill that female human. Go and kill the other human now." After saying that, the rhinoceros rushed toward Valeria.
Valeria stopped attacking the magical beasts and stared at the rhinoceros.
'So, he is the leader.'
She retrieved another dagger from her space ring.
'Then I will take care of him first.'
With a dagger in both hands, she dashed toward the rhinoceros.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Even though the rhinoceros was powerful and had thick skin, he was still not Valeria's opponent.
He got kicked and stabbed by her continuously.
It even could not be called a fight because the rhinoceros got beaten up non-stop.
"Brothers, sisters, show them the consequences of coming to our territory." The blue-haired man roared as he rushed to the magical beasts.
"Kill them!" Valeria's subordinates said in unison.
Their fighting spirit grew bigger after seeing the fight between Valeria and the rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros got beaten up by Valeria continuously, so they knew they would win the fight later.
When the northern part of the city was under control, the same thing did not happen in the Eastern Region.
Despite having more people, Captain Lia and the others had a hard time fighting the magical beasts.
Even though there were no casualties, most of the city guards were heavily injured.
Actually, they had the upper hand earlier.
But everything changed when two 3-star magical beasts appeared.
Captain Noah and the others were only at Elite rank, so they were instantly at a disadvantage when two 3-star magical beasts joined the fight.
"Captain Lia, go back and ask city mistress for help. I will hold them here." Captain Noah, who was injured, uttered.
He knew they would die if they did not ask for help because they needed an awakener at Master rank to kill a 3-star magical beast.
Captain Lia did not go back to the city immediately; instead, she looked at the other city guards.
No!
It was not like she disagreed with Captain Noah's idea.
She was only afraid that they would die before she came to save them
Even though she could not kill these two 3-star magical beasts, she could at least stop them from killing them.
"Captain Lia, don't worry. We won't die."
"That's right."
"Even though we can't kill them, but we can protect ourselves."
"Un, un."
The other city guards knew the reason why she did not return to the city immediately because it was written on her face.
"Alright. I will go back and ask city mistress to help us." She said after hearing their words.
However, it was already too late.
These magical beasts had already surrounded them.
She could not escape now.
"Do you think we will let you leave this place?" a 3-star bear spoke abruptly.
"Human, you all will die in this place today." a 3-star gorilla stated.
"Everyone, create a path for Captain Lia." Captain Noah's eyes swept across the area as he took in his surroundings.
"Captain Lia, we will create a path for you to return to the city." The blue-haired man said as he held his spear firmer.
"Kekeke." The magical beasts laughed.
"Kill them!" the white bear uttered.
Captain Noah and the others tried their best to create a path for Captain Lia to return to the city.
But no matter how many times and how hard they tried to make a path for her to leave that place, their efforts were in vain because the white bear and golden gorilla always managed to stop them.
*Uakk…
Blood splashed out of their mouths as they fell to the ground.
At this moment, half of the city guards could no longer fight because they were seriously injured.
"Damn it!"
"No! We can't lose! We must keep fighting!"
"That's right. We must keep fighting!"
"We must protect our city."
Even though they were seriously injured, their fighting spirit did not decrease in the slightest.
"Kekeke." The magical beasts laughed again.
At that moment, the city guards looked so pitiful in their eyes.
Of course, they would still kill them because humans were their enemies.
"Hahaha." The white bear laughed. "How do you feel? Are you scared? Are you depressed? Or do you feel hopeless now? Haha."
"Kill them!" the golden gorilla uttered.
When the magical beasts were about to kill Captain Noah and the others, two dragons flew toward them at incredible speed.
*Uakk…
Half of the magical beasts were thrown into the air after being hit by the Yin and Yang dragons.
"Who are you? How dare you attack my subordinates!" the white bear roared angrily.
A handsome young man with beautiful ice wings on his back slowly descended from the sky.
His white robe fluttered in the wind, and his black hair danced gently.
If Captain Noah and the others did not know who he was, they would have called him an angel because the young man looked like he was not from the human race.
The name of the young man was none other than Ace, the most handsome man in Nightshire city.
"Ace…"
"It's Ace."
"Ace came to save us."
"Ace…"
The city guards' hearts throbbed with happiness when they saw Ace.
Ace was one of the strongest awakeners in their city, and he was also an Aeris, so there was a possibility of him defeating these magical beasts.
"Good job holding them off, everyone." Ace uttered.
"Ace, did city mistress ask you to save us?" Captain Noah inquired.
"No. I had a bad feeling earlier, so I decided to come here." Ace lied to him.
'It's because I got a quest from my system.'
He added in his mind.
"Who are you? How dare you kill my subordinates!" the white bear asked angrily.
Ace shifted his gaze from Captain Noah to the white bear.
'A 3-star magical beast?'
He then noticed the Golden gorilla.
'Two 3-star magical beasts, huh? No wonder Captain Noah and the others can't kill them.'
He finally knew the reason why his system suddenly gave him a rescue quest.
'Well, these 3-star magical beasts are weak, so it's not a problem for me.'
