The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1786
"There will be a hundred thousand of you escorting the food, and I want all of you to familiarize yourselves with my plan over the next five hours. You'll depart immediately after. When you arrive at Geras, Sage will take over command from me and have you defend the city. I wish all of you good luck. Be safe.""What?!""You're sending a hundred thousand of us out there?”"Won’t Evercrest be no better than empty if all of us went there?" Evercrest Mountain only had a hundred and fifty thousand personnel, and there would only be fifty thousand left if a hundred thousand were sent to Geras. The soldiers wondered how fifty thousand would be able to defend the base."Sir, what about our base here?" "I will stay here and defend the base, so don't worry about things over here. I'll lead the remaining men and find more hope. I hope to see you all alive the next time we meet.""But sir…"After a brief moment of stun, the soldiers started to chant, "All hail Sir Strider! All hail Sir S
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1787
It took them five hours to finalize their strategy. Although the plan was far from perfect, they had taken into account every detail they could.Five hours later, the teams were fully assembled and the food was loaded onto the train. Several carriages were loaded with a total of one million tons of food. The aerial teams and three massive cargo planes then took off. The fighter jets circled the cargo planes, providing an escort as they departed. Aurelion was in charge of aerial command, while Mountain was on ground command. Communications were established so that they could stay in touch throughout the mission.Thus, a hundred thousand men responsible for the food supply transportation set out from Evercrest Mountain. The trains roared to life, and the jets streaked across the sky. Armored vehicles sped out of the base, and soldiers were seated on top of the trains. The train's escorts were in tanks or on the roofs in an organized formation. ***"Aerial team, stay vigilant for bir

The blinding sun could not penetrate the shadow in the sky, and the entire land appeared dim.Meanwhile, Adrian was smoothly driving across Bronze City in Skyton. The wireless signal receiver on the roof of the car blinked as incoming calls were transmitted through the car's speakers."Adrian, are you there?" Gracia's voice came through the car's speakers. The signal was from Drogoton."I'm here, Gracia. What's going on? Did something happen in Drogoton?""We're fine here, but Strider has done something extremely shocking. You'll never imagine what that nineteen-year-old is capable of."What has he done? Where is he now?""We haven't been able to reach him. It seems his communications are off. We'll only be able to contact him if he contacts us first. However, Steel sent word that Strider's at a base in Evercrest Mountain."Adrian was slightly surprised by this information. “Strider had more than four hundred thousand men in his command, less than two hundred thousand after th

Adrian rubbed his neck, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.Rozi seemed puzzled as she asked, "Has Strider always been so reclusive? How could they possibly transport food in these circumstances?"Although Rozi did not understand modern military tactics, she knew it was impossible for food to be transported between cities. Of course, there was a chance they would succeed if the distance apart was not too great. Adrian knew Strider's character very well and shook his head helplessly. "He's a strong and independent lone ranger, plus it's difficult to figure out what he's thinking. However, he always has his reasons behind his actions. I'm sure he knows what he's doing." Rozi frowned and gained a pretty negative impression of Strider based on his actions. To her, any normal leader would never make such an impulsive decision. "They've got a tough battle up ahead,” she commented.The cost of moving ahead with such a plan would be heavy. However, if Strider did not take action, G

Aurelion, who was on one of the jets, saw the approaching bird monsters and immediately shouted, "We've got company. All units, stay sharp. Squad One, deploy to the flank and be ready to fire on my command. Squad Two, maintain a defensive formation to protect the cargo plane. Everyone, don't let the bird monsters get anywhere near the cargo plane!"The fighter jets quickly got into positions. Both offensive and defensive formations were complete when the bird monsters were close enough, and Aurelion yelled, "Fire!" Rat-ta-ta-ta! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sky was filled with gunfire and explosions, followed by screeches of agony as the monsters were blown to pieces. However, their numbers were so overwhelming that it made maneuvering difficult for the jets. "All squadrons, gain altitude and open fire!" Aurelion commanded.The jets changed their formations, and a hail of bullets was unleashed upon the approaching horde of bird monsters.Simultaneously, the ground teams were also f
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1791
And thus, the first push began.Fighter jets dipped and rose as they fired bullets into the mass of enemies. Explosions resounded as the bird monsters fell from the sky like rain. The fighter jets up front protected the cargo planes, doing everything in their power to safeguard their comrades.The horde of bird monsters was eventually scattered. The jets on the left and right continued to provide aerial cover for the mission. The entire sky had become an enormous battlefield, resounding with explosions.Aurelion continued to send out orders. "Squad two, get ready for the fuel dispersion!" Whoosh!Dozens of jets shot upward into the sky."Fighter one, ready and waiting!""Fighter two, ready!""Fighter three, weapons hot!"Responses came as the jets got into position. Aurelion took a deep breath and commanded, "All squadrons, reduce speed and disperse the fuel.""Yes, sir."The jets emptied their tanks, soaking the bird monsters. Covered in an unidentifiable liquid, the mon
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1792
Right at that moment, Starlight suddenly noticed an enormous figure."Fighter Twenty-Four, the bird monsters are closing in. You need to spread out our left and right flanks," he said through the communicator. Fighter Twenty-Four was Aurelion's jet, who immediately ordered for the flanks to spread out. He narrowly avoided colliding with the figure thanks to Starlight's agile piloting skills."Fighter Twenty-Four, I've spotted an enormous bird monster. It's about thirty meters big!" Starlight exclaimed.An incredibly huge bird monster emerged up front, resembling a griffin like in the movies. The creature flapped its wings and brought about a mighty typhoon, causing Starlight's fighter jet to sway.Aurelion said through the communicator, "Starlight, retreat. Left and right flanks, lock onto the target and get ready to fire.""Yes, sir."Whoosh!A strong gust of wind blew, and the formation shifted again. Explosive projectiles were fired at the enormous griffin, but it did not s
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1793
Boom!The collision's shockwave swept across the surroundings, and a mushroom cloud rose in the sky, blinding everyone. The griffin was now in pieces, and its dismembered parts rained down. The shockwaves had also devastated tens of thousands of bird monsters, effectively clearing the skies.When the intense light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes, but Starlight and Tempest-1 were no longer in sight."Starlight!" Aurelion roared.Everyone was in shock. Their comrade had chosen to sacrifice himself to eliminate the griffin so that they could advance."Starlight…" the pilots muttered.Thus ended the life of a twenty-year-old—a path he willingly chose."Let's move on," Aurelion said.They had no other choice but to wipe their tears and continue to escort the cargo plane.Due to the powerful explosion, almost all of the bird monsters had been wiped out, providing them temporary relief. Aurelion issued another command, "Squads One, Two, and Three, dive down and assist the gr

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

"What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
