The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 372
Olivia walked toward the entrance with steady confidence. Behind her, Thomas and Emily followed anxiously, still not fully believing their daughter.They had listened to Olivia's explanation about her mutually beneficial relationship with Harvey. However, they remained skeptical since she had never had any prior connection with the Governor of the capital."Why are you here? I already told you not to come!" Scott snapped, unleashing his anger on Olivia."I am Governor Harvey's special guest," Olivia replied, flipping her hair. She pushed Scott aside to face Harvey directly and bowed deeply before the governor. "I apologize for being late. I had some family issues, so I couldn't arrive on time."Everyone waited for Harvey's response, knowing that his reaction would reveal everything. He scanned Olivia from head to toe and let out a low growl."I told you to wear the couple's outfit I sent. How could you show up dressed like this?" Harvey asked in an offended tone.All the special guest

Nathaniel smiled at Theo but quickly put on a grim expression as he passed Leon and Betty. "I will leave first and restore the Starling family's name," he said."That's my son! I'm sure Governor Harvey invited him because he's talented," Theo praised, his hands behind his back and chest puffing out proudly.He had previously been very upset with Nathaniel for causing trouble at the noble community party. That incident had long passed, but the Victory Hills administrator used it to tarnish the Starling family's reputation.As a result, the first-tier status granted to the Starlings was revoked, and their position in the hierarchy dropped. The rise of the West family had negatively impacted the Starlings because Scott became even more arrogant. However, the family's reputation was saved when Nathaniel entered the VIP section."Many important officials attend this party. I'm glad Nathaniel will have the opportunity to connect with them," Betty, who had been annoyed with Nathaniel, now pr

The top-tier guards from Ironclad had been deployed to ensure the party remained safe. The chances of an attack were extremely low. Yet, the guests freaked out and scattered, searching for a safe hiding place."Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm! The security team will have difficulty forming a proper defense if you panic like this!" Harvey shouted into the microphone, his voice echoing throughout the hall.Even so, many people ignored his words. When it came to their lives, they cared about nothing else."Who would dare cause such a disturbance?" Nathaniel remained on stage with the other VIP guests. A special security team had already positioned themselves around the stage to protect them, so he did not need to scramble for safety like the others.Olivia gritted her teeth as the running guests blocked her view. The intruder had destroyed the entrance, and no one was there except for the guards trying to keep the guests calm."Whoever it is must have a death wish," Olivia scoff

"You traitor! How dare you insult Mr. President!" Harvey snapped, stepping back.Additional guards rushed to the stage when they saw the special security team struggling against Zeke. They were top-tier fighters, but unfortunately, they lacked the experience to match Zeke."Governor, please step down and follow us," the team leader extended his hand to Harvey. Their attacks were limited due to the presence of VIP guests near the target.Harvey ignored the leader and stomped on his hand. "Do you think I'm afraid of this lowlife?" he sneered, pulling a pistol from under his suit. "This is an energy-based weapon—it can paralyze a cultivator!""Excellent, Governor! You can definitely defeat that bastard," Olivia clapped, celebrating a victory she had yet to secure.Energy-based weapons were the strongest countermeasure against cultivators in urgent situations. Harvey, a high-ranking official and a member of the President's Faction, was equipped with a high-quality energy pistol."I've kil

"Mr. Vanderlyn! Are you okay?"The guards were startled when Allen fell from the stage. They quickly changed their formation to protect him from Zeke's next attack.Three bodyguards jumped onto the stage, surrounding Zeke to stop him. They moved swiftly, forming a triangle to trap him. One of them struck first, his fist charged with destructive energy, while the other two closed the gaps, forcing Zeke to stay on the defensive."Surrender, or we'll make you regret it!" the first bodyguard shouted, his fist flying toward Zeke.Zeke sidestepped and blocked the first attack with a palm covered in fire, making the air around them tremble with heat."Idiot! Don't give him an opening!" the second bodyguard barked, lunging forward with a glowing palm aimed at Zeke's chest.Zeke spun effortlessly, dodging the attack before slamming his elbow into the man's jaw. Flames burst around him, making the temperature on the stage rise sharply."Attack together!" the third bodyguard roared, unsheathing
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 377
Allen's speech triggered various reactions among the guests. Some were angry, sad, hurt, and in denial. The attack at the General Headquarters had left a negative impression of the Great Commander. The chaos caused by Zeke earlier further reinforced the belief that the Commander's faction was indeed planning a rebellion against Ronin."Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that many of you are still in denial," Allen continued, his firm voice compelling everyone to listen. "But we have seen the proof with our own eyes. Zeke is the Commander's dog, and he attacked us, innocent people!""Even Governor Harvey had to become a victim. Do you want to be next?" Fern added with hatred in her tone.Without public support, Cassian would be nothing. That was what Allen and Fern believed. They no longer considered him a threat once they realized that the President's faction was in a more advantageous position.Ira also joined the conversation, annoyed that a Valoric descendant had reappeared as the
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 378
Compared to Cassian, Scott was more shaken by Allen's statement. The only way to save Cassian's reputation was by gaining recognition from the richest man in Weltaria. Unfortunately, Allen turned against Cassian and indirectly sided with Olivia."Haha, I knew it! Cassian has been exaggerating the relationship between his parents and Mr. Vanderlyn!" Nathaniel shouted, laughing so hard that tears streamed from his eyes. He did not know the day for revenge against Cassian would finally come.While wiping his tears, he walked toward Cassian and gripped his shoulder. "Man, you've always acted arrogant because you're strong and think everyone will lose to you. But what can you do in front of an honorable figure like Mr. Vanderlyn?""That's right! Mr. Vanderlyn has received both wealth and power from the President. No one in this country can go against him, not even the Great Commander!" Thomas added dramatically.The guests' calm reactions when the Commander was mentioned only showed they n

Elara glared at Scott with hatred. She had expected her grandfather to betray her. Instead of getting angry, she laughed, which irritated Olivia."What the hell are you laughing at?" Olivia asked in an offended tone."Your downfall," Elara replied, her gaze fixed on Olivia and those who had once insulted Cassian. "It won't take long. In three days, all of you will be crying in regret!"Her words sounded ridiculous, so no one took her seriously. The guard holding Elara tightened his grip on her arm and shouted, "You're traitors to the country. How could you ever get revenge on us, haha!""We can because we were never traitors in the first place.""Shut up, you wench!" Ira lost his patience. "How dare a lowly woman like you speak like that? Guards, quickly drag these damn rats out of here!"Cassian easily moved his body, and the guard holding him was thrown into the air. "There's no need to hold me. If Ronin could capture me, he would've done it long ago," he said, his eyes still locked

"We will continue advancing but still maintain the ambush strategy," Bertolt instructed as he led the sniper team to the next hiding spot at the foot of the mountain. "Emperor Arlo hasn't discovered Soul Essence, and that's our advantage. He will surely send more soldiers because the protective array formation here has been breached!"The snipers responded in unison, "Roger that, sir!"They shared the same mindset as Elara, sticking to the ambush tactic of hiding and attacking the enemy once they passed a certain point. If the Narman soldiers were crossing the river, the snipers from Weltaria would immediately attack.At the same time, combat medics from Weltaria were deployed to save the wounded soldiers at the foot of the mountain. These soldiers came from the branch headquarters and were fighting because General Headquarters refused to respond.Rosalie was among the combat medics, administering first aid swiftly. She was also physically strong, carrying two soldiers at once to be m

As Bertolt had expected, the bullet could penetrate the shield since Argon was not using a material capable of withstanding the essence of a core crystal. Only Cassian knew how to create a counter for Soul Essence bullets since he was the one who successfully developed this new weapon."You're dead now, you jerks!" Francesca shouted, jumping out of her hiding spot due to her excitement."Hey, watch out!" Patel grabbed her and pulled her down just in time as a shot from the enemy missed, failing to hit her because she had already ducked."Sorry about that," Francesca apologized, smiling awkwardly at her teammates, who glared at her. She quickly returned to her position and aimed at the visible enemy. "Wow, look at their faces. They're so confused! Let's kill them and leave them wondering what destroyed their precious shield!"The snipers from Weltaria did not need Bertolt's orders to open fire because they knew exactly what to do. They were the best long-range marksmen, specially selec

Cassian walked around the rows of soldiers, his footsteps echoing with each click of his boots, adding tension to the atmosphere as he spoke emotionally."I didn't abandon you like you did to me. You stayed silent when the bad rumors about me spread; some may have even believed them. Despite that, I accepted you back because I believe in your strength. No one in all of Weltaria can replace you. That's why I'm allowing you to fight alongside me again. You are irreplaceable!"Each word he spoke struck deep, touching the hearts of the soldiers. When the rumors about Cassian spread, they had not tried to refute them. Their disappointment led them to believe those rumors were true. Moreover, the silence from their Commander only strengthened their belief in the rumors.The soldiers felt relief and guilt after learning that Cassian had left the military due to Ronin and Arlo's schemes. They now understood the real reason for Cassian's departure. He had never intended to leave them, only tem

Every cultivator has a core, but high-quality ones are difficult to obtain. Soul Essence cannot help either, as its energy bullets would destroy the target's core. The only way to get the core is to weaken the target and take it when they are on the brink of death.The soldiers would not have frustrated expressions if Cassian's only requirement were the core. They could easily take cores from weaker Narman soldiers, but they needed to defeat the stronger ones to obtain a high-quality core."Are there no other conditions? I don't mind working without pay," Norman sighed deeply, rubbing the Soul Essence in his hand. He had been eagerly waiting for such a powerful weapon, but he made the mistake of betraying Cassian, and he did not want the Commander to fire him because of that.Stefan hit Norman on the head with his military helmet. "Don't ask for too much. You should be grateful that the Commander is giving you this opportunity. We went down the wrong path by siding with Ronin, but he

Stefan's actions triggered several other soldiers to do the same—remove all the symbols that marked their positions in the military. While it looked like the same action, they had different reasons for doing so. Not everyone feared the Military Prison.People like Stefan simply wanted to fight because it was their duty to protect the country. Not many soldiers thought this way, as most of them chose to fight to avoid punishment.Cassian raised an eyebrow when he realized that some soldiers were still unwilling to surrender to him. It caught his attention because they were faces he did not recognize."I appreciate differing opinions. Therefore, I will not force anyone to go to the battlefield. Anyone who prefers punishment can line up over there," he instructed, pointing to the left.The soldiers who refused to fight quickly formed their line. Major Vienna stood at the front, pride still etched on her face."I'm sorry, I don't recognize all of you." Cassian walked toward the line on th
Chapter 414
Cassian walked with his hands resting behind his back while Elara and Zeke fell into line with the other soldiers. Rasmus did not join the formation since he was not part of Weltaria's military. He stood at the very back, alone, in a rigid posture.The soldiers, who had initially been standing in disarray, automatically corrected their formation. Cassian gazed at any soldiers who had been out of line for a long time, urging them to follow the rules. Though they did not want to obey, their muscle memory forced them to comply with their commander's commanding gaze."A fine day, isn't it, comrades?" Cassian greeted, lifting his head to look at the clear sky. "This weather is perfect for the Narman Empire to strike. They would suffer great losses if they attacked during winter and rain."He looked back at the soldiers, still wearing his usual calm smile. "I heard that you've become weak lately. Why don't you head to the border and hold off the enemy forces?"The silence was thick, and no

All the soldiers at the General Headquarters were sitting quietly in the shared lounge when they received the news that the Narman forces had breached the northern border near the cities of Valen and Hawke. The military base in Weltaria had fallen, allowing the enemy to enter easily. Virgil had deployed the soldiers from the branch headquarters, but everyone knew that it would not hold for long."What are we going to do? If we keep staying still, the enemy will eventually attack us," Major Vienna said, hugging her trembling body.A lieutenant general named Agnes snorted. "You got promoted because of your connection to the President. No wonder you're scared. If it were me, I'd face the enemy with my strength," she responded sarcastically."How dare you insult me! You wouldn't dare say that in front of the President, would you? You coward!" Vienna retorted."That's true," Major General Sylvia responded, rolling her eyes. "But we're all tired of this new system. How can someone get promo

Ronin's departure left a sorrowful silence for a while. Those in the President's faction did not understand why they should feel sad when Ronin had betrayed them. They thought they would be indifferent after their former leader left, but instead, they felt an indescribable emotion.However, there was no time for mourning. Cassian clapped his hands a few times to regain everyone's attention."I do have a personal vendetta against Ronin, but he has also committed crimes that deserve punishment. This means I will drag everyone involved with him to trial," he declared.Everyone in the President's faction stood tense, unhappy with the topic but knowing it was coming. Cassian must be saying this because he had irrefutable evidence."But instead of conventional punishment, I want to give you a noble chance to redeem yourselves," Cassian said with a smile.Rather than feeling relieved, the President's supporters grew anxious because they knew Cassian would not let them off easily."I'd rather

The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise from the participants about the Soul Essence. Since cultivators existed, all the military forces in the world had to develop weapons that could match their power. This was the beginning of the creation of energy weapons, as not everyone could cultivate.For instance, Weltaria had more soldiers who could not cultivate than those who could. To balance the gap, the country had no choice but to invest heavily in purchasing energy-based ammunition that could only be used on special weapons.The price was beyond question. It was undoubtedly expensive, and Weltaria lacked the funds to purchase enough energy weaponry. This is why Ronin called upon wealthy, influential families, including the Hawthornes, as he needed their help."Can your words be trusted? I've never heard of energy bullets that can destroy cores. If it only weakens them, that's still reasonable," Ronin voiced his skepticism, hoping that Cassian was exaggerating.Cassian placed his
