The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3193
"Evidence? Do you even know what's happening in the capital right now?" Adrian asked.Dominique fell silent. He had been engrossed in the affairs of Obscura, giving little heed to the developments in Silverboa. He had not been paying attention to the recent events on Cras Island even though he was tasked to guard it. Upon hearing Adrian's question, he asked, "What's going on in the capital?" The reason Dominique stayed behind while others went to Obscura was not because he was a coward, but rather because of a previous mistake that had led to his current position. Watching others gain glory while he remained behind to watch over the city was unbearable. Therefore, he became alert after what Adrian said. If something had happened in the capital and he had not noticed, Chester would surely punish him when he returned.Seeing Dominique's reaction, Adrian smiled and said, "Last night, the Stormwatch Legion mobilized thirty thousand troops and surrounded the capital."Dominique was gre

Dominique was certain that Adrian would not deceive him."I command a total of thirteen thousand men, with ten thousand ready to mobilize at any time," Dominique replied."Follow me." Adrian nodded.On the war chariot, Dominique glanced at Adrian now and then. Despite his youth, Adrian was already widely acclaimed for his contribution in capturing Leafall and Sandstone. If it were not for him, they would not have achieved half of what they had accomplished. And now, Adrian was sitting right beside him. Dominique was excited, but at the same time, he felt puzzled. He wondered why someone like Adrian would suddenly leave the battlefield and come to Cras Island. After all, even though they were dealing with the restorationists, as an important figure in the war, how could Adrian simply leave? "Mr. Adrian, is the situation in Cras Island very serious?" Dominique asked. After hearing his question, Adrian frowned. While he knew that the restorationists had been receiving support fro

The Frontier Force commanded an unrivaled status in Silverboa. To many, including high-ranking officials and even members of the royal family, they were a force not to be underestimated. This standing was not imposed by laws or external influences. Rather, it was earned through years of bravery and sacrifice on the battlefield. Not only did the citizens of Silverboa hold the Frontier Force in high esteem, but even the Stormwatch Legion respected them a lot. Therefore, the Stormwatch Legion became anxious when they were surrounded by the Frontier Force. Despite their numerical advantage, they knew that in a real fight against battle-hardened soldiers, even ten thousand men could overpower thirty thousand. Since they had not received any orders yet, they were uncertain whether the Frontier Force was friend or foe, and they were consequently panic-stricken.However, rumors began to spread within the ranks of the Stormwatch Legion since some of them were privy to certain information. So

Thobias knew that even Adrian could not bear such responsibility. Right now, all he had to do was calm Gaius and the others down, and then find a way to stall for time. Then, Adrian would not be able to do anything to him. "Trust me, Mr. Gaius, I didn't intentionally keep you in the dark. It just slipped my mind!" Thobias explained with a smile.However, Gaius did not believe a word. He glared at Thobias and said, "What should I do now? You must provide me with a reasonable solution!"Meanwhile, Kevin could not believe that Adrian, whom he had looked down upon, had the means to mobilize the Frontier Force. He was filled with shock, but he had to calm himself."Mr. Gaius, you have to believe in my father. We need to calm down first. That's the only way we can come up with a solution," Kevin said. He knew that the most crucial thing now was to ease Gaius and the Stormwatch Legion.With a sardonic laugh, Gaius turned to his troops and said, "Listen up, everyone. While the situation

Adrian waved his hand and ordered, "Let's advance!""Advance?" Dominique was momentarily taken aback. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Understood!"Although Adrian held the Black Dragon Token and had control over the Frontier Force, the actual command authority still rested with Dominique. Upon receiving Adrian's order, Dominique immediately mobilized the soldiers and began advancing toward the Governor's Mansion.The Frontier Force was more disciplined and well-trained compared to the Stormwatch Legion. They would only follow their superior's orders, and they would execute the orders without question. They ignored those who stood before them. As long as the order was to advance, they would move forward without hesitation."They're advancing!"The Stormwatch Legion panicked. When the news reached the Governor's Mansion, Thobias and others paled.However, Thobias forced a smile and said, "I'm sure they wouldn't dare to do anything to us. They're just trying to pres

"They're going to kill us!" the Stormwatch Legionnaires exclaimed in panic. They had never been sent to the battlefield, and some of them started going weak in the knees. Engaging in combat with the Frontier Force was something they had never dared to imagine.After Dominique left Adrian, he sighed. Although he knew Adrian was intent on eradicating the Stormwatch Legion, he did not want it to happen. It was not because he feared losing. After all, the Frontier Force was unbeatable in Silverboa. It was just that he did not want his men to kill their own people. Such actions would not only lead to irreversible consequences. but also adversely affect his future career prospects."Freed, come here," Dominique called upon one of his lieutenants. "Captain! What are your orders?" Freed replied.Dominique waved and said, "I want you to gather a group of people and then infiltrate the Stormwatch Legion camp. After you find their captain, tell them to clear the way for us. Otherwise, there
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3199
Freed and his companions were aware of the situation, and they did not want to resort to violence against their own people either. Through their quick and coordinated actions, several captains disregarded Gaius' orders and cleared a path. The Frontier Force entered the Stormwatch Legion camp without encountering any resistance. They would never do such a thing in normal warfare, especially considering their numerical disadvantage. After all, entering enemy territory was a death sentence. However, the Stormwatch Legion and the Frontier Force understood that this battle could not proceed, as neither side wished to harm their own. Additionally, even if the Stormwatch Legion had the advantage, they refrained from using force.When Thobias and the others received the news, it was already too late for them to run. Adrian had already appeared in the Mansion's hall, with Lillian and Wallace following closely behind him."Adrian?!" Kevin exclaimed."Mr. Thobias, Mr. Kevin, and you must be Mr

"If you don't confess, I'll kill your son right now," Adrian said coldly. Thobias' face sank, but he still refused to say anything even if it would cost his son's life. "Father! Save me!" Kevin pleaded. Unfortunately, his plea did not soften his father's heart."I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about," Thobias continued to deny, "There are no Celestrians here." Adrian chuckled upon seeing Thobias' resolute demeanor. Meanwhile, Dominique fell silent when he saw that Adrian was going to kill Kevin. Although he knew this matter was related to the Celestrians and would likely result in casualties later, they still did not possess any evidence at the moment. If Adrian killed Kevin, they would likely get into big trouble. Fortunately, Adrian had no intentions of killing Kevin. He turned to Wallace and Lillian, saying, "Go check the backyard.""What?! No! You can't go there!" Thobias growled, blocking their path.However, Wallace had had enough of Thobias. With a swift s

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

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
