On the other end of the line, Black Dragon, who was at the South Canyon Military Theater Combat Operations Headquarters, answered Xayne's call with a chuckle. "Commander Xayne, what's the rush? What's up?"Xayne replied calmly, "Leavekon Villa in Westsand is under your jurisdiction, right?"Black Dragon frowned and quickly checked the location on his map. "Yes, it's within my jurisdiction. But Westsand is near the coast and separated from Baicilly by a sea. It's also a border area. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"Xayne's expression grew serious. "You should have heard about Hanwan."Upon hearing Hanwan's name, Black Dragon's expression turned grave, and his eyes filled with concern. "I've heard about him. What's going on?""Hanwan just called me and invited me to meet him at Leavekon Villa in Westsand.""Hanwan contacted you?" Black Dragon's heart skipped a beat. Hanwan was a legendary figure from the previous Emperor's era."What are you planning to do?" Black D
A luxury sedan pulled up to the entrance, and Xayne stepped out. He looked up at the opulent Leavekon Villa, a glint of determination in his eyes.He walked forward and entered the grand banquet hall of Leavekon Villa.Inside, glasses clinked, and conversations buzzed among Westsand's rich and powerful figures. Military officers in uniform also mingled, their faces adorned with smiles.Upon seeing the scene, Xayne's heart sank.Hanwan shouldn't have been present at such a high-profile event. Drakonia was under a strict news blackout regarding him, and hosting such a large-scale event seemed out of place.Soon, the owner of Leavekon Villa took the stage to deliver a speech. Xayne realized that the villa had organized the evening as a charity fundraiser. Though labeled as charitable, it was clear to everyone present that this was more than just a simple donation event.'Looks like Hanwan is pulling the strings behind the scenes,' Xayne thought to himself.At that moment, two bodyg
Hearing this question, Xayne frowned, unsure of Hanwan's intentions. However, after a moment's thought, he replied, "A traitor to the country and the emperor."Hanwan chuckled deeply. "A traitor to the country and the emperor. So, in the eyes of the world, I am seen as a great villain."Xayne sensed a deeper meaning in Hanwan's words, as if the world misunderstood him entirely."The things you’ve done are facts, even if they're mislabeled as betrayal," Xayne said coldly.Hanwan nodded, seemingly indifferent to the accusation. "Yes, I did betray Drakonia and the current emperor. But do you know why, Commander Xayne?"Xayne raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it because of your ambition?""Ambition?" Hanwan’s eyes grew profound. "Without ambition, how could I have become Hanwan of the Drakonia? How could I have assisted the current emperor in solidifying his throne?"Xayne fell silent.Hanwan continued, "The Drakonia needs a powerful general to intimidate other nations, not soft diplomacy.
Suddenly, Hanwan's fury erupted. He crushed the teacup in his hand, stood up, and walked to the window. He faced away from Xayne as he spoke in an icy tone, "Tonight, I've arranged for five thousand of my Drakon Slayer Legion's suicide warriors inside the Leavekon Villa. Do you think you can leave here alive?"Hearing this, Xayne stood up calmly and replied with a faint smile, "Are you ripping off your mask now?"Hanwan turned around with a cold smile on his lips. "After all, if I want to return to Drakonia, you and your 300,000 Dragonbreakers Legion will be my biggest obstacle. Therefore, it's only reasonable to eliminate you here tonight."Xayne nodded, his hands behind his back, and smiled indifferently. "You are right. However, I came prepared. Outside Leavekon Villa, I have stationed ten thousand of the South Canyon's Black Dragon Army, all fully armed. If any unusual situation arises inside the villa, these ten thousand Black Dragon soldiers will cover the entire villa with fi
"Don't even think about it. The Light Order is not something we can easily interfere with. The people in there are the most monstrous beings in this world. Even to join the Light Order, I had to pass an extremely stringent examination," Hanwan said with his eyes deep and penetrating.The Light Order was a global organization with few people. The entire Light Order was said to have only ten members. These ten members were known as the Ten Lords of Light. Each one of them was a powerhouse of the highest caliber.Moreover, each of the ten lords had a title. Even if one of them died, a new one would replace them.The Light Order's oath was "Light, eternal, and unyielding!"Everyone would think the Light Order represented the forces of good from these words.However, no one truly knew what exactly the Light Order was."So are we just going to give up like this?" The middle-aged man asked hesitantly.Hanwan nodded and said, "Yes, we'll give that up. We will focus on what we need to
Hammond was handling affairs at the Drakonian Council when he received a call from Xayne. He was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?""I just met with Hanwan," Xayne said calmly."What?!" Hammond was stunned. He stood up abruptly with his face filled with astonishment. "You met with Hanwan? Did he do anything to you?"Xayne shook his head. "Not yet. Mr. Hammond, I believe Hanwan is planning something in secret. The Drakonian Council needs to be on high alert!"Hearing this, Hammond's expression turned serious. "Are you sure Hanwan is up to something?"Xayne frowned and nodded firmly. "I'm sure!""Alright! I will inform the entire Drakonian Council and the Emperor's Pavillion immediately!"Hammond hung up and notified the other three elders of the Drakonian Council without delay.Upon hearing the news, Warren frowned deeply and paced back and forth in the Drakonian Council's main conference room. Finally, he slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Hanwan! He's seeking di
The baptism of the nation's destiny was extremely challenging.Bearing the fate of an entire country was something only those with exceptional resolve could endure.At the same time, the nation's destiny could also bless military troops, enhancing their physical fitness and combat capabilities.However, it would only be considered an excellent outcome if fifty thousand out of a hundred thousand soldiers succeeded upon undergoing the baptism.The Emperor remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let's proceed as planned for now. Increase vigilance in all military theaters. Have the elders guard the city gates, and if any foreign invaders appear, eliminate them! Also, keep an eye on the situation in the four extraterritorial battlefields. If any strong fighters show up, notify me immediately.""Yes, Your Highness!" Drake responded and then turned to leave the Emperor's Pavillion.A figure emerged from the darkness as he stepped out of the Emperor's Pavillion. He was kneeling
Of course, Supreme Black Dragon did not reveal Xayne's identity. That way, unnecessary trouble could be avoided, and enemies wouldn't be alerted.Their plan was simple. It was to lure the enemies out and capture them all in one fell swoop.Since foreign forces coveted this trajectory-altering missile technology, they decided to ensure these foreign agents who infiltrated Drakonia never left.Before long, Peter's call came through.On the phone, Peter was full of humility, "Mr. Xayne, I've heard you're a former officer from Northern Plains. We've long admired you and hope to meet you in person.""Alright," Xayne replied calmly, glancing at Supreme Black Dragon across from him before hanging up the phone.Supreme Black Dragon let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll be off then. You stay here for now."Xayne nodded and saw Supreme Black Dragon off.He also called Serena to inform him he was safe and would have to stay for a few more days.The next morning, Peter sent a driver and a
