The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3143
Someone entered Sid's tent and said solemnly, "Mr. Sid, we should evacuate!""So soon?" Sid raised his head, slightly surprised.In fact, he had already given up command upon learning that Adrian had appeared in the city and had used the power of the gangs to render the barrier ineffective. Their only option now was to hold their ground and wait for their final judgment as they knew that the enemy would not spare them. However, Sid never expected the judgment to come so quickly."Yes, sir. Our army has been defeated, and they have surrounded. The only way out is the path leading into the city. We must evacuate from there!"Sid remained silent for a moment before nodding.Observing the events on the battlefield, Adrian smiled and said, "It seems that Quintin also understands my intentions."Instead of crushing their enemies, Quintin surrounded them from both sides and intentionally left a path to Sandstone. He clearly wanted to herd Sid in that direction, and he was confident that

"Could there be other secret passages within the city?" someone piped up, and understanding instantly dawned upon Adrian.Sid had been in charge of Sandstone for quite some time. He must have considered various possibilities, so it was possible for him to have planned a secret route into the city."Keep an eye on these soldiers. If you find anyone suspicious of being Sid, notify me immediately," Adrian ordered. With that, he vanished from the city wall, appearing outside moments later.Adrian swiftly searched along the city wall. In less than half an hour, he finally located the entrance to the secret passage."Are you a mouse or something?" Adrian mocked.Sid had anticipated this situation and built a secret tunnel at the base of the city wall. Looking at the tunnel, Adrian hesitated, then decided not to enter. Instead, he used his Draco Force to check the situation inside. The tunnel stretched for more than a kilometer, almost reaching the limit of his Draco Force. Fortunately,
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3145
The range of Adrian's Draco Force extended to over a kilometer and could cover a significant portion of Sandstone. According to his estimation, he should have detected Sid even if Sid was not on the route he was pursuing, but Adrian still failed to detect him in the end. Therefore, he chose to take a break from the search after a few minutes. He had to admit that Sid was a formidable opponent. Even in his current dire situation, he had managed to secure an escape route for himself.Just as Adrian was about to resume searching for Sid, he received a message from Quintin. According to his calculation, the forces of Obscura should have been thoroughly defeated by now. Considering the chaos in the center of Sandstone, the routed troops were likely advancing toward its interior. Therefore, Quintin should have entered the city by now to carry out the final cleanup."Hello?" Adrian answered the call.Quintin's voice came through. "Have you taken care of Sid?""He escaped. It seems like Si

Adrian walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.Megan towered before him. "Even with all its might, the Dark Moon couldn't achieve such a feat within a week," she commented."There's nothing that can't be done. Where there's a will, there's a way," Adrian replied. He did not consider his actions in the city over the past week to be particularly extraordinary."In theory, what you've done is indeed not impossible. It's just that only you would have the confidence to undertake such a task and successfully pull it off," Megan replied. She truly admired Adrian for his ability to exploit factional strife and his power to breach Sandstone's defenses within a week.Perhaps Ronan could accomplish this task. Maybe some members of the Dark Moon scattered throughout the city could do it better than Adrian. In fact, they had received Quintin's instructions even before Adrian did. However, they chose to give up because they believed they could not do it and did not dare to shoulder such a he

"Honestly, I'm impressed, Mr. Adrian. Your actions have left me in awe," the woman said.Adrian remained silent, unsure of what Megan and this woman wanted from him."I'm Libby Arman," the woman introduced herself while extending her hand toward Adrian.After shaking hands with her, Adrian asked, "What do you need me to do?""It's related to Mr. Sid," Libby said.Adrian was taken aback, and Libby continued, "As the Great Commander of Obscura, although he may not always make perfect battlefield judgments, just like how he couldn't predict your appearance in the city and the successful destruction of the city barriers, he can still make thorough preparations for what's to come."Adrian nodded. The underground passage was the best evidence. Sid must have begun constructing it long before the war started, and his mastery of the special disguise technique likely served as preparation for the possibility of defeat."Tomorrow night, the city lord will host a party," Libby said."You m
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3148
At this time yesterday, Sid still held the highest authority in Sandstone. The city's barriers remained intact, with nearly two hundred thousand Obscura troops stationed to guard them. It could be said that the city was as secure as a fortress.In Sid's original plan, Sandstone was to withstand Quintin's advances for a month while they inflicted significant losses on the latter’s forces. However, everything that happened today thwarted his plan. Due to Adrian's covert operations, Sid suffered a crushing defeat. He could not even hold out for a week, let alone a month.On top of that, Quintin captured Sandstone swiftly and there were almost no casualties involved. After all, Quintin had not launched a genuine attack for the past week. Sid inferred from Quintin's actions that he must have planted hidden forces within the city and conducted investigations using various means. Unfortunately, both the governor of Sandstone and the head of the police force were under Adrian's control. Ther

"Sir, we can't stay here any longer," a young man with a soft demeanor said anxiously to Sid.At this moment, Sid looked like a haggard elderly man. Originally, he looked energetic even though he was already in his sixties. However, at this moment, not only had his appearance changed, but his demeanor also showed signs of aging."Blaine, thank you for your service. You're dismissed now," Sid replied."But if I leave, who will handle your disguises?" Blaine asked worriedly."This mask can last for three days, which should suffice for me to finish what needs to be done," Sid replied."But isn't Mr. Carson already feigning surrender? He can handle those matters!" Blaine protested."You're wrong. Although you've been by my side for some time now, you haven't fully grasped human nature," Sid explained. "Carson's surrender isn't feigned. Given the opportunity, he will genuinely give in, and my departure presents him with the perfect chance.""How could that be...""Because that's the
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3150
Carson now held two identities. Previously, he had agreed with Sid that if they were defeated, he would quickly surrender and try to gain Quintin's trust. However, he needed to immediately contact the supporters of restoration within the city, rally all forces, and quickly strive to overthrow Silverboa's rule over Sandstone after surrendering. To outsiders, he appeared as a surrenderer. At times, he would even play the part convincingly and fully embraced this new identity. However, Cleo's arrival disrupted his plan."Mr. Cleo!" Carson approached Cleo and bowed respectfully.Sid, now disguised as Cleo, could not help but smirk. It was still early, and many of the invited guests had yet to arrive. He reached out and placed a hand on Carson's shoulder."Carson, make sure you perform well tonight. Don't disappoint me," Sid said, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.In fact, Carson had two sets of plans in mind since he did not know if Sid would show up tonight. If Sid had not show

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

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
