Although it was already the hot season, the night still held a chill, and some people's hearts were even colder than the night.

Conference room.

Upon hearing the news announced by Ben, a chill couldn't help but rise in the hearts of the many divine envoys present, though for some, it was anger that flared.

"Ben, you killed Eke and the others. How are we supposed to fight the Inner City now? Without the divine power of Eke and the others, the remaining people won't be able to push your strength to the second tier."

"How will we contend with Liens then?"

"Are you trying to completely destroy our Rebel Army in Kara City?"

A middle-aged man, furious, stood up and pointed at Ben, demanding.

Although the others didn't speak, they also cast questioning glances at Ben, seemingly also asking how Ben, the leader of the Rebel Army, could kill his own people.

Ben didn't answer the middle-aged man's question, but silently looked at him, then raised a finger and pointed at him.

"Forbidden!"

A single word escaped Ben's lips.

Immediately, the middle-aged man's face turned grim, but at the same time, the anger in his heart intensified.

"Ben, the power God granted you isn't for you to use against your own people."

Feeling the divine power within him being forbidden, the middle-aged man felt a hint of panic, but also a strong surge of jealousy, which drove him to continue questioning Ben.

Why did Ben possess this power, and not him? His seniority was much longer than Ben's, who had only joined the Rebel Army half a year ago.

"Alas, Reid."

Ben sighed, then called out to Reid beside him.

Reid nodded, and immediately, a black magic array appeared. The shadow beneath the middle-aged man instantly mutated, transforming into several sharp spikes that pierced through the middle-aged man's body.

"Ah!"

The middle-aged man screamed, then fell to the ground, blood continuously gushing from his pierced chest, staining the conference room's tables, chairs, and floor.

At this moment, almost everyone present watched in astonishment, no one moving to help the middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood.

They couldn't believe that even now, Ben dared to kill. Was he truly not afraid of their resistance?

"You are all high-ranking members of our Rebel Army. The tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Rebel Army still need your guidance, so I truly don't want to kill you. I hope you will be sensible."

Ben's eyes coldly swept over the high-ranking Rebel Army members present. Many of those he looked at lowered their heads, while a few calmly met Ben's gaze.

Because these people were generally not divine envoys, they naturally weren't afraid of Ben's method of forbidding divine power.

Ben looked seriously at these few people and said, "Gars, you are the representatives left by that princess. You have always maintained self-discipline and haven't gotten entangled with Eke and those people."

"You are also not apostles of God, so my methods are useless against you… However, I want to know if you will carry out my orders?"

"Officer Ben, you are the leader of the Kara City Rebel Army. We will naturally obey your orders. As long as they are reasonable, we will do our best to complete them."

Gars nodded seriously, giving Ben an affirmative reply.

At this time, Gars was no longer an ordinary person, but had become an Extraordinary Knight. He was also Lucrezia's faction representative remaining in Kara City.

"In that case, you will immediately lead people to seal off the passages from the West District to other areas. Do not let anyone leave the West District."

"At the same time, guard against surprise attacks from the Inner City… If such a situation is discovered, report it back immediately."

"As for the others, bring your people and join me in taking advantage of the leaderless gang members to kill them all, leaving no one behind."

"I don't want to see any gang members who have bullied civilians alive after dawn."

"Depart!"

Ben gave the order, and with that, he was the first to stand up from his seat and walk out of the conference room.

"Tsk."

Gars looked at Ben's retreating figure with a slight click of his tongue, thinking that he was indeed a former Royal Guard; his heart was truly ruthless.

One must know that there were over a thousand former gang members under Eke's group, and many had joined later. Now, he was killing them without even batting an eye.

Moreover, these thousands of people were not pigs who wouldn't resist… This time, the Rebel Army was really going to suffer many casualties.

The other high-ranking officials also looked at the gradually departing Ben with great shock. They had thought that only a dozen or so leaders would die tonight, but they hadn't expected Ben's murderous intent to be much stronger than they had imagined.

Despite this, no one questioned Ben at this point. They all left their seats and followed Ben out of the conference room.

This night would probably be very lively.

...

"Knock, knock, knock…"

A series of urgent knocks sounded.

"Come in… What is it, Leinajin?"

Earl Bard looked at Leinajin, who had rushed into the room, and asked what had made him disturb his rest so late at night.

"My Lord Earl, an informant from the Rebel Army has reported that an internal conflict has broken out among them. Their leader is purging a faction, seemingly intending to eliminate them all."

Leinajin reported immediately.

"Hmm? Is the intelligence accurate?"

Earl Bard couldn't help but frown, feeling a slight unease about the sudden internal conflict within the Rebel Army.

"The situation should be accurate. Multiple informants have reported this matter, and it's too big to hide."

"My Lord Earl, this is an opportunity… While the Rebel Army is in internal conflict, our forces can launch an attack and surely annihilate them effortlessly."

"The thirteen divine envoys of that faction are all dead. Their combined power can no longer contend with you."

Leinajin said to Earl Bard, barely suppressing his excitement.

He hadn't expected that just this morning, My Lord Earl had issued an order to prepare to annihilate the Rebel Army, and by night, such a good opportunity had arisen. This was truly heaven-sent.

This was heaven helping their Glenbagen Family to completely rule Kara City.

After annihilating the Rebel Army in Kara City, they could take advantage of the Royal Family being preoccupied with reactionary forces and unable to focus on this side, to completely hollow out the Royal Family's power and control Kara City.

That way, even if the Royal Family won later, it would be impossible for them to reclaim Kara City from the Glenbagen Family; they would only be able to tacitly accept that Kara City was under their management.

If the Royal Family remained in a stalemate with the reactionary forces, they could even use Kara City as a base to continuously expand their influence.

Perhaps, in the end, the Glenbagen Family might even have the fortune to ascend the throne.

So, even though Earl Bard had warned him not to think in that direction, facing such a beautiful future, he found it difficult not to be excited.

Earl Bard thought for a while, still unable to find the source of his unease. However, the internal conflict within the Rebel Army was indeed an opportunity. Launching an attack now should reduce their casualties.

That would also allow them to retain more strength to deal with future risks.

Without further hesitation, Earl Bard gave Leinajin the order: "Quickly assemble the troops and launch a surprise attack on the Rebel Army."

"Yes!"

Leinajin suppressed the excitement on his face and solemnly accepted the order.
