Semua Bab The Guardian's Sword: Bab 1571 - Bab 1580

Ronald introduced his children to Sean and Zander when they were eating.Ronald had many children. Sean did not remember them. He forgot about them after meeting them, but Sean remembered his eldest daughter, Lillian.It was because Ronald chased the maid away and left Lillian pouring drinks for Sean and Zander at the dining table.Ronald's eldest daughter, Lillian, sneaked into his bed while he was in the shower. Besides that, she wore... such indescribable clothes. It was nonsense!"What are you doing?"Sean let go of Lillian and asked with a frown.Lillian touched her throat in grievance and explained, "I... I didn't want you to be bored, so I came to keep you company."'Didn't want me to be bored?'How considerate!'Sean sneered and asked, "Is this your father Ronald's idea?"Lillian immediately knew Sean was angry when she heard Sean's question and cold tone.While helping Sean and Zander at dinner, Lillian already knew from their conversation with her father that these

5 a.m.The sun had just risen in the east, and reveille blared in Dorodo's city defense army base.3,000 city defense soldiers stood on the field, neatly dressed. They began running in a neat line on the field at the word of command.The team of 3,000 men ran orderly. Most importantly, they ran for a full hour.A five-kilometer jog for an hour was Dorodo's city defense army daily routine.They had to jog five kilometers every day, regardless of weather, rain, or snow. Besides that, no one was allowed to take the day off.Not only regular soldiers must run, but also officers of all ranks.The three chiliarchs were running on the field with their respective troops.Wesley was the one at the front.The two younger men at the back were the other chiliarchs—Anthony and Gregory.Wesley was 55 years old, Anthony was 35, and Gregory was only 32.Neither Anthony nor Gregory was married, let alone had kids. Only Wesley married and had a family in Dorodo. He also enlisted his only son,

Now that the morning training was over, some soldiers went to the canteen to eat, while others went back to their dormitories to wash up.However, more city defense soldiers gathered at the headquarters building.It was because many of them had heard about the sudden appointment of a young commander-in-chief.Besides that, the chiliarchs were currently in the commander-in-chief's office, arguing with the young commander-in-chief, who appeared out of the blue!"Hey, do you think the three chiliarchs are a match for the young commander-in-chief?"A square-faced city defense soldier said, looking excited.Another slightly younger city defense soldier immediately said, "Who knows? But a commander-in-chief is still a commander-in-chief after all. The three chiliarchs combined still have a lower rank than him. Could they intimidate him?""But this guy was appointed all of a sudden after all. He's not promoted step by step. I don't think he could do anything if the chiliarchs were to w

Gregory stepped back and gave the floor to Sean and Wesley.After all, the two would be putting on a show for them!Sean turned to Wesley and calmly asked, "Commander Jokerman, how do you want to challenge me?""You can choose, lest you deny it when you lose! Archery, swordsmanship, strength, and close combat. Take your pick!"Wesley spoke generously. Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint murderous aura came from him.He had put up with Wesley many times, but Wesley repeatedly disrespected him. He even spoke rudely. He was basically treading over him!It seemed he had to be taught an unforgettable lesson so that he knew there would always be someone better! "Okay, archery then. But since it's a challenge, there has to be a prize."Sean took two steps forward and said slowly.Wesley knew the highlight was here when he heard the word "prize".He was forcing Sean to agree by challenging him to pay some price for his failure.Therefore, he went on. "We do need a prize.

Though Wesley said so, he had no intention of giving Sean a chance to back out.Before he had finished speaking, he had taken up his third and last arrow.He drew the bow, set the arrow, and aimed.Wesley did it smoothly and quickly.As soon as he loosened the fingers, the bowstring shook as the arrow shot out. The black arrow shot like lightning toward the circular target 100 meters away.Boom!The ninth ring!The ninth ring again!Although it was not a perfect tenth ring, hitting the ninth ring was also pretty good."Commander Jokerman's third arrow hit the ninth ring. His total score is 28!"Gregory announced loudly.Putting down his longbow, Wesley snorted coldly and stepped aside.It was Sean's turn to shoot."Punk, you exaggerate your abilities. I've given you many chances, but you refuse to give up. Will you only regret it after getting into trouble?"Wesley said bitterly.Zander nearby was furious and wanted to lash out instantly, but Sean shook his head at him.
