“Aaah!”The sound of agonizing screams was heard coming from the forest as Adrian walked further away.One could imagine what was happening in the forest based on the agonizing screams.Samantha wanted to get Adrian to help them because of her kind nature. But she then recalled that when he protected the people, they insulted him, so she gave up on the idea.Mya was similarly frustrated.The people took it upon themselves to instigate public opinion online and forced the dismissal of Wyvern Peak. Today, they were hurt by Internal Affairs that they supported.It was Ayden’s most regretful decision he had ever made.***Soon, Adrian led Samantha and Mya out of the forest and arrived at Mount Pallor’s tourist spot. It was crowded with people as usual, and no one knew what was happening in the forest.With no plans to stay on Mount Pallor any longer, Adrian took the two women back to the hotel.Adrian went to take a shower upon arriving at the hotel. Samantha sat on the bed watch
Following the widespread of this incident in Pallorton, someone posted something on the same night.It was a post about War Legate Draco, who had been missing for close to a month, suddenly showing up in Mount Pallor’s restricted zone this afternoon.Moreover, a photo was attached.The people of Novemton were shocked upon receiving the news.Someone leaked the information that War Legate Draco had shown up at the murder scene of Mount Pallor’s eight murder cases. The online community berated him harshly as soon as the information came to light.Someone thought that these eight people were not attacked by a wolf pack but were murdered by War Legate Draco.The online community was flooded with public opinions and invectives once again.Countless people were condemning Draco with harsh abuses.Someone posted, “F*ck. I knew that Draco was not a good man. He went missing for such a long time. Turns out he’s been hiding in Mount Pallor’s restricted zone. And now, he has killed so man
Over the next few days, Adrian took Samantha and Mya around almost every tourist attraction across the country.They visited more than ten cities and many of their old friends.During this period, Samantha felt that life was changing and felt stress-free and relaxed.However, the public opinions were still out there.***Half a month later, Adrian ended the trip to Skysouth and prepared to take Samantha home. However, he still had one last thing to do before he ended the trip.He wanted to visit a deceased comrade.It was a cold morning with bitter, piercing wind. A single snowflake drifted down from the sky. Soon, endless snow fell from the vast sky.It was the first snow of winter.“It’s snowing!” Samantha said happily as she threw open the curtains and looked at the vast whiteness outside in the morning.Snow would stir up an ineffable feeling of joy in people.Adrian walked over and saw the snow covering the city. He said, “We’ve been touring for more than half a month w
Adrian would never forget what Denzel had asked him on the training ground in the past.“Adrian, since you joined Wyvern Peak, what’s your dream?”Adrian had never dreamt of becoming anything so he shook his head and said, “Nothing much. My grandfather sent me here in hopes that I will never return. I don’t know how long I’m going to last here.”Damsel chuckled and patted Adrian’s shoulder. “Let me tell you this, Adrian. Everyone should have dreams, including you. On the other hand, my dream is to become the war legate of Wyvern Peak. I want to lead Wyvern Peak to protect our country.”Becoming a war legate was Denzel’s dream. He did not abandon his dream even until his death.Denzel once said, “I’ll become Wyvern Peak’s war legate for sure. I’m going to do it. If I don’t accomplish anything and I have nothing in this world, what’s the point of me being alive?“Adrian, you too. You should have dreams, and your dream should be the same as mine. To become the most powerful person i
Adrian arrived with his squad, but alas, Denzel was already lying in a pool of blood.Adrian could still remember vividly how he cried, ran over, and propped up his best friend.Denzel’s body was riddled with gaping wounds and laid in Adrian’s arms in a daze.Denzel sobbed and said, “Adrian, my friend. I was wrong. Dreams aren’t important. One’s family is the most important. If I could turn back time, I’d still come back to protect my sister without any hesitation. even if it means I have to die.“I want to be buried outside Hedgeville after I die. I don’t want a fancy funeral. Just put me in a coffin and bury me. Leave the tomb to my sister so she can have a place to vent her grievances in the future. Take care, my friend. I’ll protect you from the beyond.”“Gah!” Adrian clutched Denzel’s body, raised his head, and roared at the sky with tears streaming down his face.Denzel lay in his arms quietly but his eyes were not shut.Adrian knew that Denzel had never abandoned the drea
Upon hearing Willow’s words, Adrian wiped away his tears. “He taught you quite a fair bit.”“Yes, he did,” Willow said, “Denzel doted on me and always has since I was young. He’d advise me via phone calls frequently and wanted me to be a useful person when I grow up. Yet, I’ve let him down.”“A useful person?” Adrian asked, “What does it mean to become a useful person?”Willow said, “Denzel said that the act of becoming a useful person is to accomplish one’s dreams. One shouldn’t be tempted by fame and riches and to have their own dreams. One should do the things that they want and dare to do it. That’s what it means to be useful.“Even if one’s efforts are wasted and one is severely injured, one still needs to march forward courageously regardless of nature. This is because every single person is undefeated.”Adrian chuckled in a self-mocking way upon hearing Willow’s words. “Denzel was right. He was a hero of high caliber and an outstanding brother.”“It’s a waste that he’s gon
It was a waste that Draco was no longer.Draco did not exist in this world anymore.Even after the villagers of Hedgeville requested Adrian to leave retirement in a high-spirited manner, it did not change his attitude toward this matter.Denzel was gone, and he had already fulfilled Denzel’s dream of becoming the leader of Wyvern Peak. He realized that Denzel’s so-called dream was just an act of self-gratification when he came to hold this high position.There was already nothing left of this position that Adrian looked forward to.***Adrian turned around and stood facing Denzel’s tomb.Willow and the villagers looked at him in anticipation.However, Adrian did not speak. He bowed to the tomb before turning around and walking into the distance.Willow was stunned, and so were the villagers.On the other hand, Adrian’s figure was moving into the distance.“We’ll die if we lose you, War Legate Draco!” Willow called out and took a few steps forward to go after him.Hedgeville
Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentries stationed at the campsite were awakened by the explosion. They quickly got up and grabbed their weapons.“We’re under attack!”“We’re under attack!”Wee-woo!The air-raid siren was sounded.The soldiers at the eastern border moat began firing at each other.The people living in the surrounding area were awakened by the intense battle noises.***The next morning, Novemton was in chaos.Countless news of the war flooded all channels.Novemton’s front page story stated, “Luposia carried out a surprise attack on Navia’s eastern border moat last night. The war has begun. The war has begun.”The Luposians were here!When the news had spread over the inlands, everyone widened their eyes in surprise. They were taken aback. No one had expected Luposia would invade the country when it was close to the new year.“F*ck! The Luposians are abominable. How dare they provoke us!”“It’s time for Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentries to come into the pictur
