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
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 group walked into the backyard. Upon seeing the bodies in the pit, Adrian furrowed his brow."I saw these three people last night. They must have the clues that we need!" Adrian said. He knew there had to be something in the backyard, but he had not expected to find only three corpses. Besides the lead about the casino in the south of the city he obtained from Kevin, there seemed to be no other leads.Adrian's expression soured a bit as he walked out of the backyard, while Dominique continued to keep his eyes on the three men."Did you kill them?" Adrian asked."They committed suicide. After they failed to kill you, they realized things were hopeless and killed themselves," Kevin replied. Adrian nodded. He knew that the Celestrians were known for their fearless spirit. "Apart from the casino where we can find the contact person for the restorationists, do you have any other information about them?" Adrian asked.Shaking his head, Kevin replied, "No, although we provide the
