Mo Fan remembered Fenna mentioning the five Generals in Cairo to him now that Jenny had brought it up.

Fenna was currently serving under General Haken. She had attracted the attention of the leaders in Cairo after the battle of the mirage in Puccini. Since then, Fenna had made quite a few contributions and earned General Haken's direct attention. She was then relocated to the army in Cairo.

Haken was the Supreme Commander, but according to Jenny, the man had grown old, unlike General Ethan, who had gotten some inspiring victories lately. General Ethan had been getting a lot of supporters, and even the renowned clans and formidable factions were supporting him behind the scenes. It was very likely that General Ethan would replace General Haken once he retired.

”If he's so impressive, why isn't the army doing well in the battle?” Mo Fan asked.

”Maybe the people aren't united enough. This invasion from the Pyramid of Khafre is a lot stronger than the previous battles. The army of snake and scorpion demons has already expended a lot of our fighting capacity,” Jenny informed him.

”Alright, thank you. Is this the way to the Square Tower?” Mo Fan asked.

”It is, but no one is allowed to get close to it,” Jenny reminded him.

Mo Fan headed to the Square Tower after understanding the situation.

The Square Tower was very tall, the most magnificent structure in the fortress. It had two main parts: the lower half was a sturdy fortress made of steel, while the upper half was the defensive tower that soared above the clouds!

Mo Fan followed the directions that Jenny had given him for around ten minutes, and saw the special building.

(No, I have no idea why he couldn't simply Look Up and see it. - The Editor)

He had heard a thing or two about the Square Tower when he was in the city. The Square Tower was Cairo's important guardian spirit. The undead in Egypt could only move around in the living world within the deathlight's reach, and could not go anywhere without the deathlight. The Square Tower could emit a special light that would nullify the deathlight within its reach.

The Square Tower was the main reason why the people of Cairo were so calm, even when their city was at war!

”If Gangma's superior is General Ethan, wouldn't that mean he's responsible for the young Medusa, too?” Mo Fan was a little confused.

If the man was a military prodigy who made a lot of contributions to the country, why would he be raising a young Medusa to aid her growth? Was there some kind of corrupt dealings involved?

Mo Fan arrived in front of the Square Tower. He looked up at the enormous pitch-black structure. He could not tell how thick the steel wall was, nor the number of experts that were inside the tower. Mo Fan could not help but feel a little troubled.

”Huh? That guy looks so familiar!” Mo Fan suddenly noticed a man with golden-brown hair when he was roaming nearby. He almost failed to recognize the man, since he was now wearing a military outfit.

The man was followed by two women soldiers with alluring figures. He must be enjoying himself, having such special treatment even when a battle was going on.
