While Glenn was challenging Seth, Adam was about a hundred miles to the east of Quandary Mountain as he led an elite force toward it.As it happened suddenly, he didn't bring many troops. He only had 500 soldiers with him.However, these 500 men were his bodyguards. Thus, they were extremely capable. Many martial experts were among them.If he put all of them together, they would not be at a disadvantage even if they faced 10 thousand soldiers."Quick! Go quicker!""Hurry up. We need to make sure we can get to Scenic Monastery as soon as possible!" Adam kept urging while sitting in the car. He seemed very anxious.When the two officials saw that, they felt a bit astonished.After all, Adam was known to be stoic. No matter what he encountered, he could handle it calmly.Thus, they wondered what had happened today for him to be so agitated. "How's Scarlet? Is there any news about her?" Adam suddenly asked."Ms. Spanner has been suddenly called on a mission by the patriarch. Th

"Kill them!" 500 elite soldiers jumped down from the vehicles and rushed forward, charging into battle.Just then, the cargo truck's compartments opened from the side. It was filled with people inside.These individuals were clad in black combat gear, wore faceless masks, and brandished steel knives. As they had a powerful aura, it was obvious they were skilled martial artists."Go!"When the man in the mask waved his knife on the top of the truck, the martial artists inside the car rushed toward Adam without hesitation.The two parties soon engaged in a violent fight.Adam had more soldiers and horses, not to mention that they were well-trained. Thus, they seamlessly executed their attacks and defenses with astonishing momentum. However, the masked assassins were also capable of fighting. There were five of them in a team. Not only did they exhibit seamless coordination, but they were also ferocious in their attacks.Both sides engaged in intense back-and-forth combat for

At this moment, roars and screams rang out at the bottom of Quandary Mountain.Dustin wielded a sword and maneuvered through the hundred thousand soldiers. His sword was unstoppable wherever it went.With each swing, a dozen or more soldiers fell into a pool of blood.However, the troops beside him didn't reduce, no matter how many he killed. Instead, it got more and more.They were like surging waves, coming one after another. By how they kept coming, they were like an endless tide.It would take several days to finish killing them even if the hundred thousand soldiers stood still and allowed themselves to be killed.However, these hundred thousand soldiers were all elite equipped with armor and shields. That made the task of slaughtering them far from easy.Although Dustin was capable, he couldn't kill a hundred thousand soldiers on his own.Humans were not robots. It was impossible for them to keep killing so intensely.Dustin would use a bit of energy every time he swung h

Not long after the female martial artists fell to the ground, a few more also fainted.Moreover, this situation was spreading rapidly and was irreversible.In the back, the soldiers standing in the back who first inhaled the white mist fell one after another like a row of toppling dominoes.A large number of soldiers displayed symptoms of poisoning. Plus, they were completely defenseless against it.It seemed like a hurricane sweeping through fallen leaves where the white mist passed. Nearly half of the hundred-thousand-strong army had collapsed in just a few minutes."What happened? Why did the people at the back fall?"The eight commanders soon noticed that something was off. They couldn't help but feel shocked."There's poison in the mist! Be careful, everyone!" a soldier yelled out. However, it was too late.More and more soldiers got poisoned and fell to the ground. There were no signs of stopping.If this continued to happen, they would be fighting a losing battle."Qui

While riding the black eagle, Abigail circled on top of everyone.Her indifferent gaze was staring at the crowd below.As Nestor had acted in time, the poison mist only managed to affect half of them.However, it was not difficult for her to poison the rest of them with her skills.The Mystic Arts Order was not afraid of human wave strategy at all."Abigail?" Dustin felt stunned when he saw the young woman riding the eagle.He did not expect her to arrive the soonest out of his other disciples."Sir, are you okay?" Abigail asked in mid-air."I'm fine. I can still hold on," Dustin answered with a smile.While saying that, he took out a tablet and ate it.He depleted a lot of energy from his battle just now. Thus, he needed to replenish his energy and stamina.Thankfully, he always had some tablets on him. That way, he could use them to replenish his lack of stamina."Young woman, who are you? How dare you stir up trouble over here?" Nestor asked while tilting his head."Are

The black mist bomb that Abigail had just dropped was way more potent than the white mist she had created.The white mist was a slow poison. Once one was poisoned by it, their limbs would go weak, and they would faint. If they managed to get help in time, there was still a chance for them to live.However, the blast mist was different. It had a potent erosion effect. It could turn a human being into a corpse in just seconds.Plus, it would be the disfigured and bloody type of corpse."What a troublemaker!" Anders gritted his teeth when he saw Abigail in the air.A poisonous bomb that could kill soldiers within a 300 feet radius—it was terrifying how lethal the bomb was.Nobody would be able to survive if she threw a couple more down."So? Do you know how capable I am now? Oldie, get away now if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I promise you'll be dead meat once I throw a few more down!" While riding the eagle, Abigail yelled from above.While saying that, she took out a

After stabilizing everyone, Nestor's gaze turned to the sky. "Brat, I don't believe that the poison in your hand can kill everyone here. If you're really that capable, go ahead," he sneered."What? You don't even care about your subordinate's lives?" Abigail furrowed her eyebrows.She did have different kinds of poison with her. However, she didn't have much of each.She only had three of the corrosive poison she had thrown down just now. Even if she dumped all of them, she couldn't eliminate all the enemies.That was why she threw out different kinds of threats to make them back off.However, she didn't expect Nestor to be so vicious. He didn't care about his subordinates' lives at all."All of them are brave soldiers who aren't afraid of death. I'm sure they'll be willing to sacrifice themselves just to complete the mission," Nestor replied calmly."That's right! What a troublemaker! You'd better not poke your head into this. If you know what's best for you, you should leave i

When Dustin and Abigail turned around to look, they realized Nestor and the others were still struggling in the white mist. The latter couldn't even tell where they were."Be careful!" At this moment, Dustin's expression suddenly changed. Then, he shielded Abigail. The true energy in his body oozed out, forming a Black Tortoise Shield.In the next second, a black arrow shot across the sky. With lightning speed, it pierced through the body of the giant eagle. However, it didn't stop until it collided with the Black Tortoise Shield.A deafening sound resounded in the air.The Black Tortoise Shield exploded on the spot. The massive impact caused Dustin and Abigail to be blown away.Meanwhile, the eagle that had gotten shot in the chest didn't even manage to cry. It died on the spot and fell from the sky."Blackie!" Abigail cried out.The black eagle was not only the transportation of the Mystic Arts Order's Grand Sorceress but also a heirloom left behind by Abigail's mother.Abi

"Langdon, I can't tell if you're playing dumb or if you really are that stupid." Though Austin was smiling, his eyes were cold. He continued, "You asked for physical evidence, and I provided it. You asked for witnesses, and I gave you those too. Now, with both evidence and testimony laid bare, and even the criminal confessing, what else do you want?""Hmph! The government is rife with corruption. I'm simply seeking justice and preventing you from wrongfully killing the innocent." Langdon still held his righteous stance.Some of the royal advisors who had initially supported him now stayed silent. They could sense Austin's rising anger and didn't dare provoke him further. At that instant, they had lost their confidence. As Austin had pointed out, the solid evidence was right before them, and it was impossible to deny.Langdon was a member of the Rhys family and Austin's elder. He could afford to speak without a filter, but the others couldn't. If they truly angered Austin, the

"Sir Thatcher? Mr. Wentworth?" When Langdon saw their faces, his eyes went wide in disbelief. "You… How did you two end up like this?" He was genuinely stunned.Huxley and Percival were two of the most powerful figures in West Lucozia. They commanded respect wherever they went, and even Langdon himself had to show them deference.He never expected that they had fallen from their positions of prestige to become disheveled prisoners overnight."Austin! You've gone too far!" Recovering from his initial shock, Langdon's fury erupted. He didn't even bother with titles anymore. "Do you even realize what you're doing? These two men are pillars of West Lucozia and the prince's most trusted advisors. They're your elders and mentors. Yet, you tortured them like this. Are you even human?""He's right," someone chimed in. "They dedicated their lives to this country. What crime did they commit to deserve such cruelty by Your Highness?"The gathered officials erupted in outrage and condemned

"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple
