The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3058
Naturally, Chester required no further explanation. With Quintin's strategic vision, he was confident that he could make Obscura City vanish within a year if Quintin were willing to wait. Yet, he knew Quintin's days were numbered. Thus, proposing such an idea was out of the question.Emotionally and logically, he believed Quintin deserved a chance to prove himself. After all, if all went well, Quintin could be the cornerstone of Silverboa City's future for the next thousand years. Even Quintin couldn't afford to pass up this opportunity if given the chance!Quintin chuckled self-deprecatingly. "The battle in Sandstone City will certainly be a tough one. If we win, it will only be a short-term victory. If we expend too much time and energy, even if we win, it won't make much difference to me personally compared to losing!"There were no outsiders in the tent, and both Adrian and Chester were privy to the situation."So, what are your plans?" Adrian didn't believe that Quintin had ca
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3059
Adrian and Chester fell silent.Quintin had sacrificed a lot for Silverboa City. Though, this was indeed his responsibility as the mayor. Even at the end of his life, he was still willing to haggle over every little detail for the sake of Silverboa City.This was all shocking to Adrian. He even had to admit that he seemed to have underestimated Quintin's intentions.Quintin was a true wise ruler! Personal gains and losses, while important to him, were far less significant than the overall interests of Silverboa City.Beside him, Chester's eyes were already red. To make such a tough military man tear up showed how much Quintin had impressed him.Adrian looked up and saw the 300-plus people in the combat arena and faintly smiled. His subordinates didn't know what this ceremony meant. Compared to this ceremony, all the glory and wealth meant nothing!Adrian followed Quintin to the combat arena, and everyone's gaze was fixed on Quintin and the man beside him—Adrian!With 600,000 peo
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3060
Adrian saw Quintin’s longing for his wife, affection for his son, and even personal desires. But all of this could be sacrificed for the future of Silverboa City!No matter how much he loved the second prince, Malakai, he ultimately gave Adrian a task. If Malakai chose to stagnate Silverboa City's progress after ascending the throne, Adrian could kill him!This was Quintin's choice. It was difficult to say whether it was right or wrong. But at least for the entire Silverboa City, his choice sacrificed his personal interests for the greater good.Alongside introducing the 20-plus survivors from Roy and his companions, Quintin also honored the memory of those who perished in the Leafall City battle—nearly fifty souls, their names etched clearly in his memory.However, the fellow who was killed by Adrian's display of power on Mori Island and the unfortunate one who bled to death on the ship were not among them. If their spirits in the afterlife knew about this scene, God knew how they
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3061
However, no one felt that they were unworthy of this honor. These 300 individuals, regardless of the size of their contributions, were all heroes of Silverboa City. Worthy heroes indeed!Even Roy and the others felt that they definitely deserved this honor, although they had never experienced such a situation before.However, Adrian knew something that they didn't. While Quintin was speaking, Adrian kept his eyes on him and sighed inwardly. ‘You all don't know what Quintin has given up.’Quintin, as a mayor, had launched this war and had chosen to personally lead it. He had left the entire empire and his own back to his son.Everything he did was actually to make up for regrets from the past. During the war with the Celestrians, Ronan had emerged and changed the course of the war. As the mayor, Quintin had to leave the front lines and return to the Imperial Capital. Thus began his life as a mayor.If he had been on the front lines, he would definitely have received more merits. He

This ultimately led to today's scene. This was negligence on Adrian's part. He had assumed Quintin wanted to establish his own reputation and would definitely not miss the opportunity to capture Obscura City. Yet, this fellow actually gave up even this level of honor, using it to benefit Adrian!"Do you want me to be the next Great Commander?" Adrian cut to the chase.Quintin had a relaxed smile on his face. Although none of this had been planned in advance, it was not far off from his overall plan. It's just that Adrian's growth was a bit faster than he had anticipated, and he himself was lacking a little something."That's for the long-term future. There are other things that need your attention right now," Quintin said casually."It’s like you’re trying to buy me with the title of Great Commander for me to serve Silverboa City for a lifetime. You're really good at calculating," Adrian replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.Quintin frowned. This aspect of Adrian was what he

"This indicates the enemy has realized our strategic intentions. He knows that I will launch an attack on Sandstone City in a short time, so he is gathering strength. And I dare to affirm he has already prepared to abandon the entire Sandstone City and delay our progress!"Adrian nodded slightly—Quintin's thoughts were spot on. During this time, the two armies were tens of kilometers apart, yet there was no conflict at all. This was already a very rare occurrence!From this strange situation, one could indeed deduce these things. "So you thought of me for this?" Adrian asked with a half-smile. Quintin sighed and rubbed his forehead. This was also a move out of desperation. In his view, this collaboration was truly not presentable. Moreover, the likelihood of success was very low. If it weren't for Adrian, he wouldn't even have thought of using this method."Sid does need to be careful. Although he is in a passive position, all his decisions have been 100% correct!" Adrian sudden

It was impossible for over 300 people to enter together, unless Adrian could make them invisible. But even Adrian couldn't do that, let alone bringing Roy and the others along. As such, he could only choose another method. Talan and Roy selected 50 people, all of whom were high-level experts ranging from the advanced eighth-level to the pinnacle stage. If placed in other troops, they would be more than capable of being a battalion commander of 1,000 soldiers. However, now these 50 experts had all become Adrian's subordinates. "Let's go!" Adrian did not tell them the specific action plan. There was no need to tell them. Since they had followed him, they just needed to obey his orders without needing to know why they were doing so. The road from Leafall City to Sandstone City was not an easy one. Of course, it wasn't a canyon like the one leading from the coastline to Leafall City either.To go to Sandstone City, they had to cross a thousand-meter-high mountain. Within this mounta

"The location of the mountain bandits?" The family of three were all stunned upon hearing Adrian's words, even the child on the ground! "What's wrong? Are you all in league with them?" Adrian grimaced.According to his intel, the mountain bandits on Prosperous Mountain were relatively good to the surrounding farmers. It was possible that these farmers were in cahoots with them."If you go looking for them, you'll die!" The child who had been kneeling on the ground with his mother suddenly spoke up. This kid's words caught Adrian's attention. "We'll die? What do you mean by that?" Roy walked out from beside Adrian, curious. The man who had previously drawn his bow and arrows warned them, "Sir, among those mountain bandits, there is a leader who is a Grandmaster. The mountain bandits on Prosperous Mountain are very united. If you were to fight them, you probably wouldn't make it out of Prosperous Mountain alive!"This was not necessarily for the sake of Adrian and the others. Bu

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

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
