Cian personally picked twenty young and strong men. They shouldered their weapons, and after some instructions from Adrian, they headed out for Gold Haven. As a former legate who commanded millions of soldiers, eliminating the demons within Gold Haven was a piece of cake for Adrian. He even had a plan in mind, including how they were to retaliate when they were attacked.Adrian split his group into two teams. He led the first team to Gold Haven in a frontal approach on foot. Oliver was leading the second team with the trailers. They would maintain two kilometers at all times, with Rozi as their powerhouse.The people at Gold Haven would instantly notice the trailers using their binoculars, but they would not notice Adrian and his team at the front. Adrian gave out the order and moved forward, splitting up with Cian and the others. However, instead of going through the main roads, Adrian took the forest route nearby. Meanwhile, the trailers drove slowly through the streets, maintain
Rozi then said, "Garp, I want you to focus on protecting yourself if anything bad happens. Staying alive is your top priority."Garp nodded. The trailers were getting closer to Gold Haven. ***"Sir, we're two kilometers out. Should we continue?" Oliver asked, driving in the frontmost trailer as he calculated the distance.Cian said, "We'll enter their territory if we go any further. They haven’t reacted to our arrival, sir.""Sound the horns.”"Our horns?""Understood!" Honk! Honk! Honk!!! The frontmost trailer blared its horns. A few men who were guarding Gold Haven's entrance were shocked and snapped out of their naps. They immediately turned toward the direction of the sound and saw lights coming from six trailers, driving toward them. "Oh sh*t! Where did they come from?!""T-Tell the boss, now!""Sir, sir! There are six trailers headed our way! They're about three kilometers away from us!" a guard yelled through his communicator. Meanwhile, a man in his fifties
Anatoly's instructions were passed down to his over two thousand men. They were all wielding weapons looted from the Department—weapons that made them invincible. Under the night sky, five hundred men exited Gold Haven. But being a haphazardly formed army, they were inexperienced in battle. They were so unorganized that their footsteps could be heard as they headed toward the six trailers with guns in hand.Five hundred armed men were a force to be reckoned with in this chaotic world. “They're here," Adrian said, hiding behind a large tree.Cian and the other twenty men saw the army as well, and everyone held their breaths. Adrian instructed, "We'll move once they've passed us. Speed up the trailers, Oliver. I want you to charge at full speed once we've opened fire.""Yes, sir.” "Yes, sir.” Everyone prepared themselves.Anatoly's men excitedly hurried out of the city. After all, their leader had announced that they could have the beautiful women they found. In the past, t
"They'll probably send reinforcements. I want everyone out of the trailers. Hide in the forest. Rozi, we're going to show them what we’re made of.""You got it." Rozi passed Miraya to Garp. "Take care of her for me. I'll be right back." "Be careful, Rozi," Garp said.Rozi nodded, while everyone got out of the trailer and retreated into the forest. Adrian said, "Cian, Padraig, you guys retreat too. Remember, there might be monsters around, so stay sharp. Get to the forest and form a circle. Send out a few men to stand watch for any monsters.""Roger.”"Yes, sir.”“You and Rozi stay safe, sir," Oliver added. Adrian silently waited by the road. ***Anatoly received word of what happened.“Sir, we have a problem... All five hundred of our men were ambushed and are dead…""What?!" Anatoly was instantly infuriated when he heard this. "Who are we up against?" he shouted."I don't know. We can’t see anything as it’s dark out. They seem to be well-prepared. What should we do, s
Lights from two swords burst out, and the enemy army yelled as their lives were claimed one by one. Without hesitation, Adrian took them down as they came. He knew these people would only be obstructions during the chaos. Only by killing them all would he be able to unite the nation. Even though there were more than a thousand men, none of them could see the two immortals coming.In a few minutes, the entire army was eliminated. Blood dripped from Adrian and Rozi's swords. Adrian struck a glorious victory pose. Stepping through the corpses, he looked toward Gold Haven and said, "Full speed ahead. We're entering the city.""Yes, sir!" someone responded through the communicator, and the group entered the city. The Battle Warrior Department was the most unique building in the city, and Adrian determined that the enemy had chosen it to be their headquarters since it was still in one piece. Thus, he headed straight for the building the moment he entered the city. "Rozi, take the other
Finally, Adrian’s gaze settled on Anatoly. Trembling, Anatoly stammered, "Y-You're Wyvern Peak's W-War Legate Draco, a-aren't you?""You know who I am?" Adrian asked.Anatoly nodded. "I've seen you on television. What are you doing here?"Adrian smiled. "I heard many people died here and that someone took over the city. I also heard this person raided the nearby villages, so I came here to have a look.""I-Is that so?" Anatoly wiped away his sweat. His mind was blank from everything that was happening. He was no longer as calm as he was a moment ago. "N-Nothing's happened in Gold Haven, sir. However, you're very welcome here."Adrian smiled once more, but it was a smile that frightened Anatoly. "Don't be afraid. I'm not as terrifying as you think. Question though… Are you ready to have your neck severed?"This question left Anatoly stupefied. 'What did he just say?!'In shock, Anatoly got down on his knees and begged, "P-Please, sir… P-Please don't kill me. Let's talk about th
Anatoly’s eyes were filled with fear as his head rolled across the floor. He had been enjoying his life through all the luxuries life had to offer. Completely disregarding how important it was to stay alive, his nightmare soon arrived. He now realized what his victims had felt before he killed them. In the end, he was slaughtered like a helpless lamb. ***Padraig ran into the main lobby as Adrian put away his sword. Seeing the corpse on the ground, Padraig angrily said, "He was the b*stard who slaughtered the villagers, wasn’t he? Damn it. He didn’t suffer enough to pay for his crimes.”He kicked Anatoly's corpse before continuing, "There's a building here that used to be a huge supermarket, sir. They locked up more than three hundred people there. They're all that's left of Gold Haven.""A city like this should have at least six hundred thousand people. Minusing the ones who vanished in the reset, where are the rest of them?" Adrian furiously wondered. Padraig heaved a sigh.
Adrian understood that all people shared a common dream—to see their family and friends leading happy lives. But ultimately, they were hurt and left traumatized."Get to the trailers and bring food and water. Let's feed them before we calm them down," Adrian said."Yes, sir."Cian then spoke through his communicator, and more than thirty people soon came carrying food and water. The prisoners were locked up in a supermarket, but everything inside had been taken by Anatoly and his men. Hence, they had been starving for at least three days. Some of the elderly were on the verge of death.Adrian started handing out the rations, which excited the prisoners.A middle-aged woman cried, "Please give me some water and food. My grandson's about to starve to death."An old man begged, "Water… Please…"Adrian turned around and left the supermarket when he heard their pleas. "Settle down. We've got enough for everyone," Rozi said as she and the others distributed the rations.Cian added,
