Hearing Xayne's words, the mercenary from the Ronin Death Squad under his foot let out a cold, disdainful laugh. "Idiot! You must be joking. Do you think you can wipe out the Ronin Death Squad and the Miyamoto family in thirty minutes? Ridiculous. That is completely ridiculous."He couldn't believe any force could obliterate the Ronin Death Squad and the Miyamoto family in half an hour. The Miyamoto family was one of the eight great families of the Great Sun Empire, controlling the Eastern Military District of the empire.Xayne merely smirked and had a chair brought over. He sat in front of the man, watching the time pass minute by minute.Twenty minutes later, Xayne's phone rang. He put it on speaker. Dragos's voice came through. "Drakon King. The Ronin Death Squad has been completely wiped out. The Miyamoto Family has also been mostly destroyed. It's unlikely they'll recover. However, we couldn't fully complete the task due to a few top commanders in the Miyamoto Family."Xayne r
After Xayne left, Lily and Emily couldn't stop thinking about him.One was deeply infatuated, unable to extricate herself. The other was simply in awe.However, Xayne was unaware of all this.At this moment, he was already back in Folksworth, resting in his estate for a couple of days.During this time, he spent a lot of time with Coco and trained Serena.Three days later, he suddenly received orders from the top brass of Drakonia Combat Division, commanding Xayne to head to Newcroa to attend the twelve-nation military symposium.The content of the meeting was highly confidential. Even Xayne was kept in the dark about it."General, what is this meeting about? Why so secretive?" Xayne asked, frowning.After a brief pause, the general replied, "Xayne, there are some things you need to know now."Hearing this, Xayne fell silent.The general continued, "Have you ever heard of the Four Battlefields beyond our borders?"Xayne's frown deepened, and his expression tensed. "No, what'
Xayne nodded and said, "I understand."The general added a few more instructions. "Xayne, during the twelve-nation meeting to welcome back the warriors, there will be some people trying to cause trouble behind the scenes. Be prepared. The return of the warriors is a top priority. No matter what, there must be no mishaps.""Got it," Xayne replied, then hung up the phone.He began to ponder about the Four Battlefields beyond the borders.Soon, Xayne received a text message from Drakonia Combat Division with flight details and the location of the meeting.He had to leave for Newcroa tomorrow.That evening, Xayne told Serena about it.Serena busied herself, preparing Xayne's luggage.Early the next morning, Ace arrived from the Northern Plains Military Theater, bringing Xayne's blue-patterned golden dragon uniform and sword.After bidding farewell to Serena, Xayne, Ace, and Dragos headed to Newcroa.Meanwhile, Hanwan was playing chess with an old man in Leavekon Villa at Westsand
This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Xayne and significantly weaken Drakonia's power.If they could remove the King of the North, the strength of the Dragonbreakers Legion would plummet.Meanwhile, Xayne had already arrived in Newcroa and checked into a hotel.Dragos quickly entered the suite and respectfully reported, "Drakon King, we just received intel from the Dracarium branch in Newcroa, Hanwan's people have met with Henry and seem to be secretly planning to take us out."Upon hearing this, Xayne's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Just as the general predicted, some people can't hold back. Be ready. We'll kill as many as they send our way.""Yes, sir."Dragos swiftly turned and began making preparations.That evening, Henry contacted generals from other countries, urging them to bring their troops.He feared the King of the North's revenge and worried that if they failed to kill Xayne, Xayne would retaliate fiercely.Therefore, he decided to drag more people into t
Back at the conference room, the Tri-Lion Empire's general glanced at his watch with a smile. "I imagine it won't be long before we hear the good news from them."The special ops team he sent consisted of elite soldiers who were seasoned in many high-stakes operations and always successfully completed their missions."If the King of the North falls by my hand, the Tri-Lion Empire's military ranking should climb several notches, and I'll likely be appointed as the national commander back home."The Tri-Lion general was elated, already dreaming of promotions and riches."Don't celebrate too soon. The King of the North is no weakling. Even if you send an entire division to surround him, he might still break through." Someone, annoyed by his smugness, couldn't resist dampening his spirits."True, most special ops teams can't guarantee 100% success. But this squad is our country's most renowned special action team. You all should know their name," The Tri-Lion general deliberately teas
Despite their reluctance, everyone in the room focused on the earpiece."Hello? Hello, can you hear me?" The voice on the other end was Xayne's. The room fell silent, the generals exchanging bewildered glances."If I'm not mistaken, these people must be from the Tri-Lion Empire, right? The Silver Serpent Squad? They're quite tricky, but thanks for the equipment." Xayne's voice, dripping with disdain and laziness, echoed through the room.The Tri-Lion general grimaced as if he had swallowed something vile. He had intended to boast about his success, only to find his team annihilated by Xayne. This wasn't just a disgrace for himself but also a disgrace for his country.Xayne cut the connection and attached the communication earpiece to a stray cat, tossing it out to mislead their trackers.The Tri-Lion general was about to retrieve the earpiece when he was interrupted by a new transmission.The emperor of the Tri-Lion Empire roared through the earpiece. "Wasn't this plan foolproof?
The plan to encircle Xayne was swiftly set into motion. Troops were strategically positioned along his projected path."We have him surrounded, the target has no escape," one team reported, crouched at the street's end with their radios at the ready.As they advanced through the last alleyway, they heard gunfire and immediately tensed."We've reached the target location but haven’t sighted the target," another team relayed through the radio."We're here too, but no suspicious figures in sight," a third team reported.Henry issued the order, "Countdown from three, then strike together.""Three, two, one!"Both teams burst out of the alleyways simultaneously, only to see a stray cat darting through."There's no one."Confusion set in as one soldier grabbed the cat and noticed a tracker attached to it."So, Xayne isn't here. I knew he wouldn't be running around aimlessly." Henry clenched his fist.Although he anticipated that capturing Xayne wouldn't be straightforward, he rema
Xayne hadn't anticipated that other nations' military forces would join the action. He realized something was off when he noticed that the five soldiers who had been slain were all from the Tri-Lion Empire.The place Xayne observed was the nearest area to Newcroa, a well-guarded line. They had set up fences and dug a massive trench around the entire region, encircling the outskirts of the town. Since the area was suburban, it had few inhabitants, mostly impoverished people. These lives were insignificant to the commanders leading the encirclement compared to the King of the North.Xayne was closest to the southwestern front, manned by the Seventh Division of the Fran Empire. This line was to halt any advance. The division commander, Matt, sat in the command room, discussing strategy with other international leaders. Having all the leaders together reassured Henry. They were allies but also had leverage over each other’s armies. Eight nations participated, and eight military for
