The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1222
Adrian had long abandoned the first elder and third elder’s concern.He said, “This assessment will be quite different from the previous ones. I do not plan on holding the final spar in the sparring arena. I have a new idea.”The crowd looked at Adrian in puzzlement. “A survival challenge. To give everyone a chance, all the candidates will be released into the rainforest and they will have to make their way within a certain time to score points. If they fail to make it out within the set time, they won’t be given any points. We shall then choose ten finalists to spar on the cliff of Mount Wyvern. The champion will be the new leader of Wyvern Peak.”“Hmm…”The elders and the rest of the crowd were astonished upon hearing Adrian’s plan. There was a primeval rainforest surrounding Mount Wyvern. After crossing the rainforest, one would arrive at the border where Wyvern Peak’s troops were stationed. The rainforest was extremely dangerous, filled with difficult terrains and wild animal

Adrian always came up with ideas that were different from others. That was how he became a leader respected by many. Every member of Wyvern Peak knew that there was no problem that could not be solved as long as Draco was around. ***Adrian arrived at the rear hall. It was a locked grand hall known as the War Legate Hall. This was where stone statues of previous war legates were stored. Wyvern Peak would produce a statue of the legates throughout history and display them in order so that people could come and gaze upon them in the future.Commonfolk would find it hard to get into War Legate Hall. It would only be opened to certain people at a particular time. Only Adrian was allowed to access the hall at will. He walked in and shut the door. Numerous stone statues stood inside the enormous grand hall. These statues had different postures and styles, but they were all without a doubt Wyvern Peak’s legates. The only difference was that they were from different times. Due to the c

Adrian did not show, simply observing them from afar. Raquel knew he was feeling uneasy. He wanted to choose a perfect leader for Wyvern Peak but that was impossible. Hence, he changed some people, or rather he guided some people to the right path through his hard work and effort.Time passed, and a few days later, Novemton published the name lists for the competition regions and notified all candidates of their respective regions. When the notification letters were distributed, the candidates packed in preparation to head to the venues. As the date of the examination drew closer, Wyvern Peak requested that all candidates arrive at their respective venues two weeks in advance. This was to allow them time to mentally prepare for the assessment and familiarize themselves with the venue. The candidates headed off to their competition regions. Juno was all packed. She said to her family while waving the notification letter, “Guys, I’ve been assigned to Rusouth. I’ll head there now

The woman was Sierra Lane, Jerome’s high schoolmate. She had graduated two years earlier than Jerome and attended university in Gorgonshire. Jerome had always been a loner and did not have many friends back from high school. He never expected his high schoolmate to show up here on the eve of his departure.“Am I not welcomed, Jerome?” Sierra asked smilingly as she looked at the astounded Jerome. Jerome was not good at interacting with people, especially women. He was at a loss for words upon hearing her remark. Sierra covered her mouth and laughed at Jerome’s reaction. She clapped and called out, “Come on out, everyone!”Dozens of people suddenly emerged from all directions. Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!Confetti flew into the air and landed on Jerome’s head. “We wish you success in your endeavors, Jerome!” the crowd said in unison. Jerome was stunned by the sight of these people that had shown up out of nowhere. These were his high schoolmates, and he knew every one of them.“Guys

Jerome’s friends called out in unison, their voices loud enough to be heard far away. He turned around and discreetly wiped away his tears. He said, “Thank you for supporting me, everyone. Thank you so much. I was under the assumption that you hated me and felt that I’m overestimating myself by joining the selection.”His friends burst out in laughter. Sierra giggled as she covered her mouth. “Nonsense, Jerome. Only a warrior has the courage to pursue their dream. You’re a man who pursues his dream and has strong beliefs. Why would we mock you for that?”“She’s right, Jerome. You’re Jerome today, but maybe you’ll be Wyvern Peak’s new leader in the future. We’d want to be in your good graces when that happens, so why would we mock you?”“You’re overthinking it, Jerome. We’re extremely proud to have a selection candidate among us. You have to work hard and strive to become Wyvern Peak’s leader.”Jerome inhaled a deep breath and nodded heavily. “Thanks for your support, everyone.

Sierra’s promise filled Jerome with boundless joy. He sincerely hoped for the girl that had always been on his mind to watch his performance. Jerome inhaled a deep breath and raised his head to look toward the others. “Thank you, everyone. I understand what you’ve shared with me today. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down if I become Wyvern Peak’s leader. I will devote my life to Navia and will never betray the country.”He picked up the outfit his friends had bought him and got into the Department’s vehicle.Jerome left. Sierra and the others gazed after his car until he was far away. They only turned away after the car vanished. Sierra was relieved.One of the girls said, “That blockhead finally got the message, Sierra. I didn’t realize that he had feelings for you but was too scared to tell you.”Sierra sniggered. “He’s not a very proactive person. He’s destined to be unable to express his feelings like other boys because of his family background. I hope that he will fulfill hi

The siblings fell silent, feeling a sense of desolation and unwillingness to part. Soon, Sage was done packing. She walked out of her room with luggage in hand and Trent trailing behind her. She went to her parents’ room and knocked on the door. “Father, Mother, I’m leaving for Northbound for the selection.”No reply came from inside the room where the couple were hugging each other and crying. Sage waited for a while, then said when there was no response, “I’m sorry to always worry you. I’m not an obedient daughter and I’ve let you down, but I really hope to be a useful person so that I don’t waste my youth. I’ll regret it if I don’t go. Again, I’m sorry for being disobedient. Mother, please take good care of Father. Goodbye.”Sage turned around and walked out of the house, crying uncontrollably. Garret’s vehicle was already waiting outside the yard. Suddenly, Dahlia ran outside. “Sage! Wait!”Sage stopped walking, turned around, and called out, “Mother!”Dahlia wiped her tear

Her daughter’s departure saddened Dahlia. She realized that this was Sage’s destiny, and she hoped that Sage would fulfill her dream. Jamie walked out of the room and asked, “Has she left?”Dahlia nodded. “Yeah.”“Are the invitations still here?Sage had previously given them invitation letters to watch the selection.Dahlia looked at Jamie in puzzlement. “Do you want to go?”Jamie said determinedly, “Let’s pack up and bring all that we have to Northbound. It’s the only thing we can do for her.”Dahlia was pleasantly surprised and nodded. “Sure, I’ll get to packing right away!”***Many hopeful candidates headed to their assigned competition regions. The six selected cities—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound—were under full lockdown. All those entering and leaving had to go through strict inspections.The whole country was watching the selection closely, wondering who the new leader would be. The candidates were eager, and so were the people
