All Chapters of The Return of the War Legate: Chapter 1371 - Chapter 1380

As Novemton News continued to give everyone its report, the public eye turned to Wyvern Peak, hoping that Jerome would hold a press conference. They hoped he would tell them what he had planned. However, he did no such thing. Nobody heard anything from Jerome, nor did they see him take any action. Instead, Wyvern Peak merely strengthened its presence at Ganon Mountain, with no specific orders issued.Meanwhile, Jerome sat in his usual seat in Wyvern Peak’s main hall, seeming unaffected by Novemton's expectations for him to resolve the situation. "Sir.” Jerome's attendant, Lewis Dorne, walked in.Lewis had participated in this year's selection and performed well, which led to Jerome arranging for him to take up a position within his ranks.Lewis reported, "Sir, the Eight Hollows are keeping close tabs on us. Also, all of Novemton would like to hear from you about this matter. They’re afraid of our enemies. Don’t you think you should hold a press conference to calm them down?"Je

"The legate wants us to take over Dragon Peak so that the Eight Hollows will have zero chance of retreating?"Remy nodded. "Correct. His instructions in the letter were very clear. We have to avoid detection during our journey there, which leaves the snowy mountains as our only route into the place.""Putting aside whether or not we can enter Dragon Peak unnoticed, cutting off the Eight Hollows' retreat will only cause them to launch an all-out attack against our natural moat. When that happens, the situation may escalate and spiral out of control. Even if we do take over Dragon Peak, we can’t defend the place, rendering it useless to our cause.” Mash's tone was firm as he spoke.Remy replied, "War Legate Dominus has a plan in mind. All we have to do is obey his commands. We can't bring too many people with us, so we'll only be taking five hundred. Right now, Dragon Peak isn't heavily defended, so we'll take it down the moment the legate tells us to.""Still, why are we doing this?

An emergency meeting was held at Novemton headquarters. Crystal strode into the conference room and sat down. "What's happening at the moat? Have the Eight Hollows appeared?""Your Majesty, they showed up at the natural moat this morning but have yet to enter our territory. Judging by their movements, they seem to be planning something.”"Our forces can’t withstand an attack from the Eight Hollows, not when they're immortals.""The situation has become extremely dire. We need a counterattack plan. There are not many people within Novemton who can match up to them should they choose to attack us."The emergence of immortals had completely turned the tide as they could single-handedly take out an entire army. At this moment, the word “immortal” sent fear into everyone's hearts. "What's Wyvern Peak's status? Has War Legate Dominus given any orders?" Crystal anxiously asked after hearing everyone's opinions. "The legate is still in Wyvern Peak. We don't know what he has planned."

With his eyes still shut, Jerome responded, "I hear them."Lewis anxiously said, "Are you really going to remain silent through all this? At this rate, your reputation will be dragged through the mud. The citizens are realistic people. They only hurl insults at you when they feel you can't protect them.""Has Remy reached his position?" Jerome asked, ignoring Lewis' statement."Judging by his coordinates, Sir Remy's five hundred men should arrive at three this afternoon. But will they be able to take Dragon Peak? That place is guarded by approximately forty thousand people, including those from major organizations," Lewis reported."Where are the Eight Hollows now?" "They're loitering at our gates, which is strange. They could come in whenever they want, yet they haven't done so. They seem to be hesitating." "Those who think too much tend to hesitate. It's only normal." Jerome opened his eyes. "What do you mean, sir?" "Their hesitation grants them a few more days to live, a

Everyone in Novemton was stunned speechless.The reporters were whipped into a frenzy."A beam of light has just arrived at Ganon Mountain! It was produced by a young man wielding a sword and emitting a chilling aura.”"Oh my god… I-It's Jerome!" The cameras panned toward the young man, and Jerome's handsome face was broadcasted far and wide to all of Novemton. "It’s him!" "He's here!" "He has finally shown up!”"Damn! He’s really here!”Countless cheers could be heard. Nobody had Jerome to suddenly show up at the mountain peak and halt the Eight Hollows' advance. Everyone was stunned. They did not know what Jerome could possibly achieve alone. Like a dominating figure, he stood atop the mountain as his image was broadcast live. "Jerome!""Jerome!""Jerome!" Students at Novemton High became excited when they saw this scene and started shouting out his name. Sierra, the one who promised she would wait for Jerome until he was ready, covered her mouth and teared up as
