The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3070
"Just like those Celestria Restorationists?""Exactly! The sooner we deal with them, the fewer troubles we'll have in the future!" Adrian said coldly.Unconsciously, he had started to embody the role of the Great Commander of Silverboa and actively do something for the city. He chuckled and continued, "But all that is for the future. The most important thing now is to take down Sandstone City.""Tomorrow happens to be the time for the supply delivery to Sandstone City!" Talan said.It had been a long time since they had fought alongside Adrian. In fact, this was the first time their elite unit had joined a real war with Adrian. After all, even though the Imperial Military Academy permitted fighting, those fights were merely child's play as the academy strictly forbade killing.Therefore, it limited their ability to unleash their full potential. With Adrian leading them into battle this time, they would finally get to experience fighting alongside him.Looking at Talan and his eli

Although Ashton still treated Adrian with reverence, Adrian could see the difference in his attitude toward him compared to yesterday. However, he did not particularly mind. As long as the man could help him accomplish the mission, nothing else mattered."What do you mean by that?" Adrian asked."They had considered taking hidden routes before, but each time they attempted, our insiders detected them. Regardless of the route chosen, interception was inevitable," Ashton explained. "Eventually, they abandoned the notion of concealment and opted to travel directly via the main road. It's the ideal route for deploying their energy cannon."The energy cannon stood as a crucial asset for both Silverboa and Obscura. Similar to ore veins, they were predominantly under government control, inaccessible to the common populace.Moreover, most energy cannons were equipped with self-destruct protocols. Even if one managed to acquire such a cannon, they would lack the necessary expertise to opera

The supply convoy fell swiftly to Adrian and his team. Nearly 20 bodies lay in pools of blood. The mountain bandits, concealed on the hillside, mirrored the horror etched on the faces of their victims. Even after witnessing Adrian's ruthless methods the day before, the sight was still jarring.."If even an ordinary squad from Silverboa has such a destructive power, do we really need to fight this battle?" Ashton murmured in awe."Sir, that's impossible. He said he could speak favorably for us in front of the mayor. This means that his status in Silverboa City isn't low," one of his subordinates quickly responded."Yeah, if you ever become successful, don't forget us!" Another chimed in."Hmph! Even if I die, I won't grovel to the people of Silverboa City!" Another voice echoed. Some glared at the speaker, but upon seeing him, they all withdrew their angry gazes. "Grayson, what do you mean?" Ashton asked."Nothing! They're from Silverboa City, and we're from Obscura City. I hop

The rest of the journey went smoothly as Adrian and his team reached the dedicated supply passage of Sandstone City.This passage was specially opened outside the city's defensive barrier, and entry into Sandstone City could only be granted after thorough inspection.Moreover, after the inspection, they would not be allowed to use the supplies and the energy cannon.Roy was disappointed. When they were outside the Leafall canyon with Adrian, their energy cannon had dealt significant damage to the enemy, which was a rare instance of making a notable contribution while being with Adrian.Roy hoped to use the energy cannon again, believing it could prove useful in future operations. However, the regulations of Sandstone City meant they wouldn't get the chance to use those energy cannons once they entered the city."Captain, what if the mountain bandits deceive us?" Talan asked.Earlier, the mountain bandit leader had informed them that the guards of the supply passage in Sandstone C

Currently, their aim was to assimilate into the fabric of the city, whether as a resident of Obscura City, a native of Sandstone City, a refugee from Leafall, or hailing from elsewhere.Once integrated into the city, they aimed to expand their influence, each assembling a team of over 100 individuals within a week. This meant Adrian would command a force of 5,000 soldiers in just seven days.Such a number would pose a significant threat to the central defense hubs scattered throughout Sandstone City.While Adrian alone couldn't breach four defense formations, it would lead him to exhaustion. That wasn't his intention. Hence, besides rallying troops, Adrian mulled over alternative strategies.As Adrian strolled the lively streets of Sandstone City, a plan formed in his mind. Just like a coin, every city had two sides.Currently, Sandstone lay under the sway of the official forces, personified by Sid. Accepting this reality, Adrian pinned his hopes on the hidden powers lurking in th

As Adrian watched, a rough-looking man from Obscura City swaggered past him and entered the restaurant. Behind him, a dozen others followed suit.As the man passed Adrian, he barked, "What are you looking at?"The restaurant owner halted his movements, and the waitress ceased pouring coffee and water for the patrons.Adrian grasped the situation quickly. It appeared these thugs were there to extort money from them."Billy! Is the protection fee for this month ready?"Some patrons immediately put down their utensils and hastily left the restaurant. In the end, Adrian was the only one remaining as he calmly enjoyed his food.Fortunately, his actions were not conspicuous enough to draw attention from others."Didn't we just pay it last week?" Billy asked.This marked the third occurrence this month. On each occasion, they asserted it was for protection, yet in truth, only these thugs loitered around, showing any interest in their restaurant."Did we? How could I forget?" said the
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3076
The thug smirked."Don't push it, Willie. I know you're targeting me, but I'm not like those ordinary women. Don't push me too hard!" Bethan Doherty looked at the thug, Willie, coldly.When Willie met her gaze, he suddenly felt a chill enveloping his body."Bethan, stop!"Clang!The flash of a blade made a sharp metallic sound. Everyone in the restaurant, except Adrian, froze in shock. He set down his utensils, lowered his head, and looked at the broken ice cone on the ground with a thoughtful expression."Bethan! Come back! Don't let your sister take control of you!" Billy appeared extremely anxious. The thugs, who had narrowly avoided disaster, now felt not only stunned but terrified as well, because the hair of the girl sitting across from them had suddenly turned all white. Even more terrifying was the transformation of her pupils from black to pure white like snowflakes. When they were stared at by those pupils, they felt a chill run down their spine."Snow Lady?" Adrian lo
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3077
"This is merely a test to gauge the strength of her defenses," Adrian calmly responded when confronted about his actions. Seeing the Snow Lady, he recognized an opportunity. Finding a Grandmaster in a place like Sandstone, especially one proficient in combat, was no easy feat. Encountering the Snow Lady this time was a fortune for him."Please, release my daughter!" Billy pleaded while covertly mustering his Vital Energy, intending to restrain Adrian."I suggest you cease what you’re doing. Otherwise, both you and your daughter will meet your end," Adrian softly warned as he smiled.Billy frowned, taking two steps back, refraining from approaching further. When Adrian spoke, their eyes met, and from Adrian's gaze, Billy perceived an unyielding intent to kill. As a Grandmaster himself, he was no novice."Are you from Silverboa? Are you the one from Leafall?"Adrian raised an eyebrow, surprised the man had correctly guessed who he was. "I harbor no ill intentions toward your daughte

The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4815
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
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
