At dawn, the elites from the South Army set off to intercept the escape of Max's subordinates under Colin's order.

In the end, every single one of those men was captured and killed halfway through their flight.

Unfortunately, there was no news on Max.

Colin quickly chimed in, "That's right. Mr. Cross, you have overexerted yourself in the last battle, causing all your hair to turn white. Since you haven't recovered, you cannot afford to get injured again."
