The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1705
The bullets shone like shooting stars in the pitch-black night. Monsters swarming from all directions fell to the ground one by one, turning Kerning into a battlefield. Adrian and the women relentlessly pushed back the wave of monsters."Sir, am I seeing this right? I-Is that…" One of the soldiers excitedly stared at Adrian, who was fighting fiercely from the truck's rooftop. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.Gunner shouted, "It is! It's War Legate Draco!"At that moment, everyone was overwhelmed by an indescribable shock that made them feel suffocated. The name “Draco” had disappeared from their lives, yet the man was now right in front of them."He's here! Sir is Draco here!" "Sir!" "Sir!" Endless shouts erupted on the rooftops as soldiers excitedly called out to Adrian. He heard them but simply gestured at them to continue fighting. "Yes, sir!""Everyone, listen up! Sir Draco's here!“Fire everything you've got and let's kill these b*stards!"Excited voices fill

After the reset, the soldiers had lost all hope. They have not expected to meet Adrian again at such a challenging moment."What are you doing here, sir?" "We didn't think we'd ever see here.""He's right, sir. We feel so much safer now that you're here."The soldiers surrounded Adrian, each of them expressing their excitement. Adrian jumped down from the truck and joined the crowd of over fifty who were thrilled beyond measure. He smiled at them and said, "My brethren, you've all done an excellent job during this trying time. I know you've all done everything you could."Adrian's words moved everyone to tears. Gunner approached and said, "Sir, I used to serve under Cadel and was visiting home on leave when the disaster struck. I rounded up those here, and we’ve been fighting against the monsters since then. We lost many of our brothers before we managed to retreat to this village and make this place our last stand."Adrian asked, "What's your name?""Gunner Sturgis, sir."

Ten minutes later, all the surviving villagers of Kerning boarded the cargo truck. Adrian divided Gunner and the soldiers into two teams. One team was to be on the rooftop as lookouts while the other guarded from the inside of the vehicle. Ivy and Eira took turns driving, and Adrian allowed Nyssa to rest in the back of the truck. Thanks to the addition of Gunner and his team, Adrian now had the chance to take a brief rest. The truck set off fifteen minutes later, leaving Kerning behind. After taking a detour, they were back on the highway and headed toward Novemton.Adrian had a four-hour nap. When he woke up, he climbed to the roof, where Ivy reported, "We're about four hours away from Novemton. There will likely be many monsters outside the city, so we need to figure out how we're going to get inside."Entering Novemton was going to be challenging. The outside of the city was infested with monsters. Even Climbers had been spotted inside the walls.Adrian attempted to establish a

"Everyone, get to the roof and prepare for battle!" Gunner shouted.The soldiers climbed onto the roof, put their backs against each other, and crouched as they scanned the direction they were guarding. Novemton was just ahead, and with each step closer, they could see more monsters lining the road. These monsters were rushing toward Novemton, and their numbers were growing exponentially.As the truck continued to advance, the surrounding monsters multiplied. They charged toward the truck in a maddened frenzy when they sensed humans nearby."Kill them!" Adrian ordered.Gunshots rang out, and bullets sliced through the air, piercing the monsters.The battle had begun.The monsters, originally heading toward Novemton, were now drawn toward Adrian and his group. Ivy pushed the truck forward and barrelled down the highway like a giant snake. The monsters had a tough time catching up with the truck, but a large number of them were now in pursuit."The monsters at the back can't reach
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1709
As Novemton drew closer, the monsters around them multiplied crazily. The numbers outside Novemton were astonishing, exceeding what Adrian had encountered back in Swallowston countless times over.Unlike Swallowston, the monsters outside Novemton were limited to the outer ring as an inner wall had been erected to prevent them from entering. The army of monsters exuded a menacing aura, and their strong, foul stench filled the air. Adrian said, "Stay sharp, everyone.!With bated breath, they continued to face the relentless onslaught of monsters. Gunner and his team had never seen so many monsters, not even during their time in Kerning."They’re closing in!" Ivy called out.The roar of the truck's engine had attracted the attention of many monsters. Some charged toward the truck, and like a chain reaction, more and more followed. Bullets zipped through the air, and Adrian and Gunner stood back to back, facing the approaching monsters. The second squad and their leader looked up a

"Hurry up!" Rozi shouted to the truck.Ivy floored the accelerator, and the truck hurtled toward the city at full speed. The soldiers along the path of light formed a protective shield around the truck as it plowed through the monsters."Ivy, get everyone into the city!" Adrian called out.After conveying his orders, he leaped off the truck and summoned Dragonbane, which then transformed into countless golden streaks of light. He exchanged a glance with Rozi, then leaped into the air and stabbed his sword into the ground. The monsters wailed and were sent flying as Dragonbane touched the earth and set off a series of explosions.Adrian and Rozi stood back-to-back, ready to confront the incoming wave of monsters. Meanwhile, Ivy continued to drive the truck along the path of light. Seeing that the truck had moved farther away, Adrian shouted, "Squad one! Retreat and support squad two!"Upon hearing his orders, the soldiers from the first line swiftly retreated toward the city. Adria

Adrian was originally under the impression that Hugh was not very impressive. Crystal was the one who promoted him, but Adrian had never been particularly impressed by Hugh's abilities. However, he refrained from commenting out of respect for Crystal. It was now clear to Adrian that Hugh was underutilizing his talents while being Crystal's subordinate.Half an hour later, Adrian held a meeting at headquarters. Several upper management personnel attended the meeting, and he shared with them what Philip had said about Crutcher. Steel and the others were confused when they heard the story."Sir, are you saying you intend to leave Novemton again to find this Crutcher fellow?" Steel asked.Adrian nodded in confirmation. The information Philip had revealed regarding Crutcher might contain crucial insights into the future. Having no means of dealing with the Creator, Adrian was willing to explore all possibilities, including the ones that had very little success and very high risks.He ex
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1712
The others fell silent. There was a possibility they were not handling the matter with the right attitude since they did not share Adrian's foresight.Meanwhile, Rozi entered the meeting room and said, "I'm inclined to agree with Adrian. There's a saying that God leaves a window open whenever he closes a door. Nobody in this world is perfect, not even the Creator AKA the Destroyer.”All eyes turned toward her. Having spent time with modern people, Rozi had assimilated to the new environment and learned some popular phrasesHelen said, "Are you saying that you support Sir Draco's decision? If so, you'd need convincing reasons because it still seems too risky to us.""She's right, Grandma. None of us knows for sure whether the person the child mentioned actually exists."Everyone began expressing their opinions.They called Rozi "Grandma" as a playful joke because many were aware that Rozi originated from twelve centuries ago.She stepped forward and, naturally, had her reasons fo

Adrian was blatantly threatening her. It was clear he would subject her to torment and death if she didn’t agree to his terms. How could such a person be described as reasonable?Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Adrian and show him her strength.Adrian simply looked at her calmly. “There’s no need to resent me. I’m actually quite agreeable. When things can be resolved, I try to resolve them. As for you, rest assured. During your month of servitude, I won’t make you serve in vain. You’re the princess of Ciawales, correct? It just so happens I have some free time. Let’s head there together.“Also, tell me about the customs and cultures of this world. I’ve been in secluded training for many years and have forgotten much about the outside world,” he lied.Renee was taken aback. Adrian didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be some kind of reclusive expert? His words only left her more puzzled.“How am I supposed to introduce it? Are you not from this world?”
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4558
Was Adrian looking for praise? Renee couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. She wasn’t sure what Adrian was trying to convey. All his words seemed to point to one thing—that he was her savior, and now she owed him her obedience.To Renee, this was a difficult pill to swallow. After all, she was a princess, and Adrian’s implication was that she should lower herself to him. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.Though she felt deeply unwilling, Renee could only grit her teeth and respond calmly, “Yes, you saved me. I’m deeply grateful. I promise to repay your kindness when I get the chance.” She locked eyes with Adrian, waiting for his reaction. If Adrian wasn’t satisfied, she truly didn’t know what to do. The valuable items she possessed were limited, consisting mostly of a few life-saving treasures. Beyond that, there wasn’t much on her that was of worth.Adrian, however, narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “Just a few words of thanks? Do y

"Spare me! Otherwise, Divine Reaper won’t let you go!" the leader shouted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Adrian.The man looked terrifying, exuding a powerful aura. He was using a secret technique, hoping to escape. But with a casual wave of his hand, Adrian created a barrier that blocked the man’s path.Renee, watching from below, was stunned. Divine Reaper… They were the most feared assassin organization in the Spirit Domain, known for their stealthy and deadly methods that instilled fear in everyone.There was a saying across the Spirit Domain: if Divine Reaper marked someone for death, nine out of ten targets would die. If someone survived, it was because they were of an extraordinary and untouchable status. Clearly, her status as the princess of Ciawales wasn’t extraordinary enough to make her exempt from such threats.Adrian smiled and said, “Nice name, but you’ve offended the wrong person. You deserve to die.” He swung his Soul Devouring Sword.A wave of power surged forth, a

"I can't believe it! Is this guy really that terrifying? Can we truly not defeat him?" the leader muttered. He gripped a curved blade, which now glowed with a blood-red light.The others around him also had cold glints in their eyes. They were not about to admit defeat easily. Although Adrian was powerful, they weren’t willing to give up without a fight. Adrian had only been killing intermediary Nascents. He hadn’t even touched the advanced ones yet. Most importantly, their leader was at the peak of the Nascent Stage, making him an incredibly strong and fearsome opponent. This alone was enough to show that their leader had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Adrian. They were confident that Adrian couldn’t defeat their boss, especially with them assisting.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying shockwave tore through the heavens, leaving the surroundings trembling violently. Adrian’s gaze was sharp, filled with an intense killing intent.“Die!” he shouted.Bam!The leader was struck har

Moreover, the strength Adrian displayed was so overwhelming that it left everyone in disbelief. After all, in the Spirit Realm, the physical body of any immortal was supposed to be relatively fragile, and having a powerful physical body was impossible.The group couldn't quite accept the fact that Adrian was out of their league. Yet, no matter how they tried to make sense of it, it seemed like nothing could change the reality of the situation. One of the black-clad men sneered. "Perhaps this kid's physical strength is enhanced by some kind of secret treasure. Once we kill him and take the treasure, we’ll boost our own power." His words were intended to rally the group as if trying to inspire them to believe they were on the verge of victory. Adrian merely smiled coldly upon hearing this. With a murderous gleam in his eyes, his voice turned cold as he said, "Since you're all so determined to meet your end, don't blame me."Adrian threw another punch, and this time, it was a force

The group's formation suddenly began to shatter. The white light radiated by the formation continued to whip up the surrounding yellow sand."How is this possible?" one of the men gasped in disbelief. This was a powerful barrier set up by several experts in the late Divine Stage, yet it had been destroyed so easily.The leader of the black-clad men sneered. "Hmph! It's just the formation being broken. Most likely it was pure luck for this guy. Don’t be afraid of him."His words caused the others to pause. While his words were meant to reassure them, the reality of the situation was far from simple. It was impossible for them to defeat Adrian, who was proving to be much stronger than anticipated? After all, Adrian’s strength had clearly surpassed that of a typical Divine immortal. Even if he were in the Divine Stage, he had undoubtedly reached the peak. Breaking the formation with ease was impossible unless one was at that level."It's just a bluff," the leader of the black-clad m

Renee felt a sense of helplessness within. As a princess of Ciawales, she was now left pondering a difficult question.Adrian was unaware of Renee’s thoughts. If he had known that Renee was considering fleeing while he was risking his life, he would not have helped her.As the onslaught of attacks descended upon him, Adrian leaped swiftly into the air. The attacks from the black-clad men crashed into him, but Adrian remained unscathed. This caused the group of attackers to freeze in disbelief."What’s going on?" they muttered in shock as they stared at Adrian, who appeared as agile as a panther.At the moment when Adrian leaped into the air, it seemed as though nothing could stop him. His expression remained calm and nonchalant in the face of their attacks."Is this all you’ve got? You’re really that weak. Feel free to unleash everything you’ve got. Don’t hold back," Adrian said, his tone laced with disdain.The black-clad group was stunned by Adrian’s arrogance. Even Renee stood
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4552
Adrian smiled as he replied, "Is that so? Well, it seems you're just unlucky. The moment you encountered me, your fate was already sealed."His simple words were filled with provocation, meant to make the group before him admit their defeat. If they didn't, Adrian was determined to make them regret it.The leader of the black-clad men sneered and stepped forward. "How laughable. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant brat. Do you really think you're some kind of unparalleled genius? I see your strength is only at the Divine Stage. While I can’t quite tell your true level, you shouldn’t be so cocky. Even with your strength, we can overwhelm you with numbers and wear you down. You really don't know when to quit. Now, I’ve changed my mind. Kneel before us, and we’ll spare you."As the leader was talking, his curved blade gleamed with a faint light. The light from the blade seemed to radiate with a dangerous brilliance, causing Adrian’s expression to momentarily shift

"No matter who he is, he's no match for us. I advise you to surrender quietly, Renee," one of the black-clad men said.Clinging to the last flicker of hope, Renee was not willing to give up. She charged toward the barrier, unleashing an attack as she did. The strike hit the barrier, and it trembled violently.At that moment, Adrian’s eyes snapped open. Seeing the situation before him, his expression grew cold.Renee continued her wild assault. As her eyes met Adrian’s, an unexpected surge of panic overtook her.The black-clad pursuers were furious. “Hey, kid up ahead! I suggest you mind your own business. This woman belongs to us. If you want to stay alive, leave now."The voice of the black-clad man was booming, and the sound of it echoed through the desert, proving that these pursuers were no ordinary threat.Adrian’s expression turned even colder. He had no intention of getting involved, but when the others spoke so recklessly, he couldn’t just ignore it. As he slowly rose to
