Ring ring!The phone beside him started ringing. When he saw Black Phoenix's number, Isaac answered the call instantly."Drakon! General Damien Rovin is dead!"The fuck?A drop of sweat fell from Isaac's chin. His face turned black as he said coldly, "Black Phoenix, this is not the time to joke around.""Damien perished in battle in the southern part of Cyberia, at the bottom of a canyon. All 5,000 of his troops and a lieutenant have also perished!"Isaac hung up and lit up a cigarette. He took a huge drag and suddenly choked on it.His phone kept ringing after that. The calls were all from Elliot, Mitchell, Lucas, and all the others. They wanted to know if it was true.They knew that they would only be able to get the most accurate news from Drakon.After a quarter of an hour, Isaac dialed Beefy Bob's number and said in a low voice, "I'm heading out for a bit. You and Harry should take care of Allegra and Isabella. Also, tell Lupinus to meet me at the northern headquarters.""Help me
Everyone gasped in shock after hearing what Isaac said."Drakon, if Crawson indeed withdrew into the borders of the Kingdom of Ursus, according to international laws, we can't just attack him at the border. It will cause unnecessary stress and tension between countries," Elliot said solemnly.Rules were meant to be obeyed. And the Temple of Drakon had never invaded foreign soil before.Lightning scoffed and said, "That's the main reason why Crawson is doing this! If this goes on, we won't be able to avenge Damien! If Crawson stays within the borders forever, will we also wait for him outside the borders forever?"The only female general in the room, Janessa, spoke up, "General Lightning, you know that we all want to avenge Damien, but you should also remember that there are a lot of eyes on us. We can't afford to make a mistake here. Drakon, I think you should reconsider."Everyone looked at Isaac. It was obvious that they were on a split decision.Isaac lit up another cigarette and fi
The next morning, inside the General Army's building in the Kingdom of Ursus, a blonde girl in uniform sat down at her desk with a cup of coffee, unlocked her computer with a code, and opened her email inbox.Suddenly, an encrypted email with the golden seal of a dragon jumped out at her. It was apparent from the title that those were antebellum papers.The girl dropped her coffee to the ground in shock, where the mug smashed into pieces. She hurriedly typed a few words and clicked around before dashing out into the elevator.She took the elevator to the topmost floor and tried getting into an office, but she was stopped at the door by a guard."I have urgent matters to discuss with General Lamont Lowes. Open up the door!"The door was opened for her. The girl took a deep breath and hurried into the spacious, open office space. The man sitting behind the desk in the office was in the midst of reading and approving documents. He had a head of white hair with a matching white mustache, a
Nobody knew what the General Army in the Kingdom of Ursus went through for the past two days. During their urgent meeting, three out of the four generals, besides General Lowe, had voted not to respond to Isaac at all.Crawson would make preparations at Cath City. If anyone from the Temple of Drakon dared to step foot into their territory, he would immediately attack.In fact, that night, Major had secretly informed two fighter jets in the northwest to be on standby to assist them should a war break out.Two days passed quickly. By noon, there was a sudden blaring alarm in the command room of one of the watchtowers in Cath City.Crawson was upstairs in his luxurious office, a cigar in one hand and a scantily-clad woman in the other, when the alarm rang. He jumped and went out with a solemn look, asking, "Where's the alarm coming from?"The office door opened, and an anxious-looking subordinate walked in. He answered, "Mr. Sullivan, we've noticed traces of the enemies from about a hundr
Lightning checked the time on his wristwatch and stood up, saying, "Drakon, it's already past midnight. The three days are up.""Lieutenant Morelli, are the 120,000 white capes and hoods ready?"Lieutenant Morelli immediately answered, "Yes, sir. The hoods and capes had been loaded into the vehicles an hour ago, awaiting your next order.""Bring them to the front runners and tell them all to put on the capes and hoods. I will give out my orders then," Isaac said with a huff. Lieutenant Morelli left at once to carry out his order.Isaac stood up and gradually walked over to the coffin. He placed his hand on the glass and faced his seven other generals, saying, "Everyone, I'm sure you're quite accustomed to the way I do things. I don't always fight back, but when I do, I go all out. This time, I'll make them regret it for the rest of their lives!"The seven generals and Lupinus straightened their backs and started emitting a deadly, murderous aura."I will be bringing this coffin with me
"What do you mean they're here? The Temple of Drakon? Where? At the southern gate?" Crawson asked, immediately brimming with murderous intent.The subordinate answered in fright, "T—They're everywhere! The entire Cath City is filled with them! We don't know how they got in. S—Sir, you have to think of something! Many of our soldiers had their throats slit open while they slept!"Crawson punched the table in anger and roared, "Tell the Wild Fighters to gather downstairs and follow me into battle! Also, send a message to General Jameson. Tell him that the people from the Temple of Drakon have ignored international laws and are attacking the country! They must be put to death!"He also said, "Tell General Jameson to send over his troops. We need all the backup we can get. Hurry!"Crawson got changed into his suit of armor and ran down the stairs. There were 2,000 Wild Fighters already there, waiting for him. They were all eager for blood.There were cries and screams from everywhere. Craw
He'd just put the phone to his ear when Major immediately started screaming, "Isaac Garten, how dare you disregard international laws and attack our city in the south? You're only digging a deeper hole for yourself!""And who the fuck are you? I only know of General Lowes. He is the only one I will speak to." The tone of Isaac's voice only sent Major into another frenzy.Before hanging up, Isaac chuckled and said, "Oh, here's a gentle reminder for you. We're still holding tens of thousands of your civilians captive in Cath City, so I hope we can come to an agreement very, very soon. No funny business or everyone dies. I think this is a fair exchange, don't you think so?"He cut off the call abruptly after that. Crawson's jaw had already fallen to the floor in shock."Isaac, how dare you use the lives of the civilians to threaten us! Our soldiers would never bow to a bastard like you! Just wait! You're going to be killed!" Crawson roared.At the northern side, Lamont and his other four
As soon as Isaac said that, Lamont's and the three elderly men's faces soured."Isaac, you're asking for too much! That's blatant robbery!" One of the elderlies pointed at Isaac."We cannot agree to such terms. No matter the consequences, we will not agree," the other old man spat.Isaac shook his head, smiling. He looked at Lamont and said, "If I don't do this, would that mean my men die for nothing, then? Didn't Damien die for nothing? Despite the hundred-mile-long safety border, didn't Crawson still bring his men over to kill? Didn't he also cross the line? Even if I kill Crawson now, can you guarantee there won't be a second one in the future? Thus, my request is not too much. This border is a promise between the Temple of Drakon and the Kingdom of Ursus. It has nothing to do with other countries. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Lamont's eyelids were twitching violently. He looked at Crawson, who was kneeling on the ground, and wanted nothing more but to butcher him up."A
