This was power far beyond any of their imaginations!At this point, most of the troops had gathered in the control room, intrigued by the noise, and were horrified to discover the death of their commander. Some of them were so frightened by the state of their dead comrades that they removed themselves from the mission immediately and prepared to retreat. They were all soldiers who had braved wars and battles. They were not afraid of fighting to their deaths on the battlefield, but they feared meeting such an ominous opponent lurking in the shadows!There was no telling where Liam would show up next, and what scared them most of all was the unpredictability!A military helicopter was hovering in mid-air right above Grand Pendragon Hill. A middle-aged man with a square jaw and dark eyes, dressed in a black uniform, stared down at the scene below him. "That's enough. Give them orders to retreat. Garna Chava is already dead. There is no point fighting a futile battle anymore. I will n
Meanwhile, the soldiers that had been ambushed were in shambles, for they had realized that their opponents were military kings!"This is horrible!""So many Gods of War!""We don't stand a chance against them! Run! We can't possibly win against these people…""Team Alpha is under attack by a God of War—""Team Bravo as well!""Team Charlie as well!"Liam stood on the edge of a cliff, watching coldly as chaos and mayhem broke out on the ground beneath him. Soon, the gunshots ceased, and dark silhouettes weaved through the thicket, making their way toward him. "Your Majesty, the esteemed leader of the Green Dragon Warriors. Fifteen Gods of War and three hundred military kings have carried out your orders, and we await your next command!"Liam nodded, then gazed upward at the helicopter hovering in the sky above him. He met the gaze of the middle-aged man in the uniform, who was staring at him from above, and said, "Send the Green Dragon Warriors into the forest! Kill every man
Seated around a table were the military commanders of the five Border Nations. Since the commander-in-chief of Koron, General Garna Chava, had passed away, Koron had sent another general in his place to attend the meeting.The two other generals who had orchestrated Liam's assassination alongside Koron were also seated amongst the five representatives. The sole two innocent parties appeared calm and unfazed, whereas the three masterminds were beyond outraged at the mayhem that Liam had wreaked on their country's borders.Alec seemed the most furious out of all of them. He hissed through gritted teeth, "What is the meaning of this? Half an hour has gone by, and yet the representative from Biskeland has not arrived!"The commander-in-chief of Slansvia, one of the two countries which had devised the plan to bring about Liam's death, was a man named Al Cronck. He looked equally outraged as he agreed, "That's right! This is unacceptable! How dare Biskeland disrespect us like this by fail
However, the two generals, though deeply wary of Liam and eager to be rid of him, were not fools and would not be easily deceived.They exchanged knowing glances but said nothing, and instead, watched coldly as another argument broke out between Garna Fuege, Al, and Alec. Just as the tension in the room was about to reach a boiling point, the door was suddenly flung open.Thud!The door splintered into pieces with a deafening bang. Fragments of wood flew everywhere, and some of the wooden chips even landed on Garna Fuege and the others!The five commanders, along with a dozen or so advisors who had accompanied their respective leaders, all whipped around to glance at the door. Liam stood at the door, wearing the same uniform, which was now tattered and bloodstained. The dark pools of blood of his victims shone maliciously like badges of his honor! Four Gods of War dressed in black trailed behind him, each exuding a similar aura of menace.The entire room fell silent as their gaz
Liam stood at the head of the table. After hearing Alec's terms, he scowled. His cold gaze landed on Alec, and he slowly made his way toward the latter.Panic rose up within Alec when Liam started to approach him. "What—what are you doing?"Liam did not even flinch. He continued to take slow, deliberate steps toward Alec, and the sight of a glowering man covered from head to toe in blood walking toward him made Alec shudder. He took a few steps back in terror.Thud!His body collided with the chair behind him, and together, man and chair collapsed to the ground with a clatter.It suddenly struck him, however, that Liam would not dare to lay a finger on him with so many people watching, so he quickly got to his feet and tried to stare Liam down, his face flushed crimson in exasperation. Liam paused, eyeing Alec coldly. "Is that right? You want me to compensate your country's losses?"There must be a miscommunication, General Alec, for if I recall correctly, this meeting was supp
Who would dare to put a toe out of line in the presence of such a formidable opponent, not to mention he also had fifteen Gods of War waiting outside the door to intervene if needed?Alec's expression was dark, and his beady eyes were laced with white-hot rage and indignation. He thought the prospect of going to war against three hundred thousand soldiers would be enough to subdue Liam. Still, not only did this fail to intimidate Liam, but he had even turned the entire situation against him!Alec was already incredibly displeased about losing half his men in battle, but the worst part was there seemed to be no way out of this!There was no point even trying to take Liam by force, for not only did he possess incredible speed and power, he also had a swarm of martial artists waiting on the other side of the door! One would have to be out of their mind to even think of subduing Liam in this state!Liam stared at the men before him. The silence went on for over three minutes, in which
"What? Ten billion dollars?""This is outrageous, King Pendragon! We're here to negotiate, not do your bidding!""Indeed! The three of them were the ones who had devised the plan to kidnap your subordinate. None of this had anything to do with me, so why should I have to pay the compensation as well?""I took no part in this as well! I will gladly withdraw my troops, but why should my country have to fork out ten billion dollars to compensate for a war we never took part in?""King Pendragon, this is outrageous and completely unreasonable! You are taking advantage of us!""We cannot just sit by and allow Biskeland to bully us like this! I will have none of this! If we have to declare war on Biskeland, so be it!""It's one thing to request a ceasefire, but another issue entirely to ransom us for so much money!"The entire room erupted into an angry uproar upon hearing Liam's request. Liam stared at them coldly and did not respond until he heard the furious outcries of the general
Besides, the borders of Biskeland were guarded by the feared Pendragon Warriors, and these were enemies that no one would want to make!Even then, none of the generals, least of all the two who had not been directly involved in the assassination attempt, could tolerate being taken advantage of. They were all incredibly disconcerted to see Liam walking out the door, and the two innocent generals were the first to act. They both leaped to their feet and shouted at Liam's retreating figure, "We accept your terms!"Liam paused and turned around but did not say anything. Instead, he merely stared at them as though waiting for them to go on.One of the generals, a man named Nicholson, added, appearing rather reluctant but having found no better option, "King Pendragon, I agree to your terms. My country will pay the compensation as you asked!"The other general paused for a few moments, then said, "I will do the same!"They both looked frankly affronted to have been forced to commit to
