Sword God in a World of Magic

The soldiers looked with shock at Shang.

Call his superior?

So, Zero truly was framed?

Why else would he call for someone even higher-up in the chain of command?

If Zero were a traitor, he would only make it even harder for himself to escape if a Commander Stage warrior arrived.

The officer on the ground almost couldn't believe what he had heard.

Zero wanted him to call his superior?

At this moment, the officer felt like the world wanted him to survive.

He still hadn't come to terms with the fact that he had lost against an Early General Stage warrior, and now he had to come to terms with the fact that he survived after losing?

This entire situation was just too surreal.

The officer tried his best to move his hand to the Communication Crystal, but it was just out of reach.

Shang lightly kicked it into the officer's free hand with his free foot.

The officer quickly activated the Communication Crystal and held it up in an awkward position.

"Report," came the annoyed voice of the superior.

The officer had trouble formulating words due to the blade buried partially in his neck.

"Hello, sir," Shang said. "This is Zero, one of the soldiers under the sergeant. We require your help and judgment on a matter."

"What? Why are you talking to me? Where's Lance?" the superior asked with surprise and annoyance.

"The sergeant can't talk right now since my sword is partially buried in his neck, sir," Shang said.

Silence.

For several seconds, the superior didn't say anything.

"What do you want?" the superior asked through the Communication Crystal.

"I was framed for treason," Shang said. "The sergeant judged me to be a traitor without an investigation, and, well, you saw how that turned out."

"I would like to request a neutral party to investigate this matter."

For a while, nothing came out of the Communication Crystal.
