"They won't be satisfied by losing a battle. They'll send more troops. We need to set up an ambush ahead of time, right along this defensive line!"

Xayne drew a horizontal line on the map. This area was the border with the Tri-Lion Empire. It was the most dangerous spot, the enemy's most vigilant location.

Setting up an ambush here was extremely difficult, potentially putting themselves in the enemy's crosshairs.

"Everyone, prepare your rations and gear. We need to lay in and wait here. We will catch them off guard and crush their morale!"

Even though it was a risky tactic, Xayne insisted on pushing it to the limit, where his soldiers would face immense danger. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If they successfully ambushed the enemy, it would be a devastating blow.

Only Xayne could devise such a bold strategy. He trusted his soldiers because they were the Northern Plains army, capable of executing such tactics. Other commanders wouldn't dare gamble their soldiers' liv

    They were all terrified of the King of the North. Just the thought of Xayne's fearsome visage made them tremble.Previously, they had dispatched 300,000 of Arnold’s troops. They surrounded the Northern Plains army to destroy them. Everyone thought it was a guaranteed victory. Unexpectedly, they suffered a crushing defeat, and even Arnold was killed in a single charge by Xayne."Are you telling me that none of your men dare to face Xayne? Do they not want to win?" Barney looked at them in disbelief.After a long silence, a general from the Fran Empire stood up. "We once organized a coalition to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Plains army, but we failed. We want revenge. I have a great general, Thor, named after the god of thunder. He's known for his prowess in ground combat, earning the nickname Thunderer.""I believe our Thunderer can take on the King of the North. What do you say, General Thor?"A tall, muscular man stepped forward, waving to the assembly. "Hello everyon

    Thor sat among his troops as they arrived at the defensive line, and he mobilized everyone to start fortifying."Man, it's freezing here. If we don't set up strongholds, we might not even be able to move our feet," Thor complained while rubbing his hands for warmth as he arrived at the frontline.If they could establish strong points here, it would lay the foundation for a coalition victory. They would push forward continuously and provide the coalition with supply and rest areas, becoming a haven for them.Feeling invigorated by this thought, Thor stood at the front of the defense line. He began to undress, planning to relieve himself in the wind for a bit of a morale boost.However, as soon as he dropped his pants, a bullet pierced his forehead. He still had a smile on his face as he fell backward, lifeless.The coalition troops were stunned. They turned to see their commander had been shot dead by a sniper."Is this guy an idiot? He is dressed so conspicuously as a general, an

    After losing two battles, they were at a loss for how to deal with Xayne."Take a break for now," Barney said while rubbing his temples wearily. "Let's not get too disheartened. We still have enough resources to put into this fight. Go back and rest well."This strategy was Barney's idea. The fact that the enemy broke it so quickly was a significant blow to his pride."Is this King of the North really that formidable? He seems to predict every move and controls the battlefield with such precision."Barney's confidence was waning as Xayne's uncanny foresight eroded it.Just then, an assistant said, "I think something's off here. It's very likely someone tipped off the King of the North, giving him time to prepare.""You mean they had prior insights? Are you suggesting there's a spy among us?" Barney asked."Think about it. Arnold died on the battlefield because they found our base. If no one tipped them off, how could the King of the North's troops have known Arnold's location an

    Meanwhile, two figures were dressed in white on a distant snowy mountain peak miles away. They stood against the snowy backdrop.One of them, an elderly man with snow-white hair and a ruddy complexion, stood at the peak. His hands were behind his back, and his eyes gleamed with a piercing light.Behind him was a man in his thirties with a serious face, sharp eyebrows, and eyes like stars. He was exuding a chilling aura. These two stood on the mountaintop, their presence radiating an overwhelming coldness, adding a sharp, murderous intent to the snowy expanse.Xayne frowned as he held Red Rose in his arms. A dozen silver needles shot out from his palm with a flick of his hand. They spiraled like silver serpents, piercing into various acupoints on Red Rose's body to staunch the bleeding.Red Rose's face turned pale. She looked at the enraged Xayne and said weakly, "Supreme Commander, I'm sorry…""Don't speak. Rest now. Leave the rest to me," Xayne said softly. He handed Red Rose t

    "Get down! Everyone get down!"Almost instantly, the towering snowstorm, dozens of meters high, drowned out these shouts. The entire snowy landscape was engulfed in a blinding flurry of white as it completely buried the allied troops.Meanwhile, Xayne's battle with the two figures raged on. The younger man was clutching his chest, staring intensely at Xayne from several dozen meters away with a pale face."Step back! I will take him down!" the old man commanded, his eyes blazing with murderous intent."Master!" the younger man protested as he frowned."Step back! You are no match for him! Do not hold me back!" the old man insisted.Reluctantly, the younger man retreated several meters, glaring at Xayne maliciously. Inside, he seethed with anger and frustration, feeling it was a missed opportunity to fight the King of the North.The old man's eyes were like cold steel as he locked onto Xayne. "King of the North, surrender now! Today, I will cut you down on this snowy field!"Xay

    In an instant, the old man lunged at Xayne. His longsword aimed straight for Xayne's heart. Xayne did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward. He launched his Ravenclaw Dagger, which whirled through the air, brimming with lethal intent.Within seconds, they had exchanged over a dozen blows as loud clangs were heard, neither gaining the upper hand. Their silhouettes darted across the snowy terrain, their movements whipping up fierce snowstorms.Xayne and the old man clashed fists, generating a thunderous explosion that unleashed a terrifying shockwave. Immediately, the snow-covered peaks around them began to fracture, and the snow cascaded down like a white deluge, pouring into the valley below.The allied forces, several kilometers away and just getting back on their feet, saw the oncoming avalanche."Ah! Avalanche! Run!""Move it! Get out of here!"The soldiers fled as panic ensued. They abandoned their gear in their desperate bid to escape. However, the avalanche roared down

    Xayne stood quite a distance away, holding the gleaming Ravenclaw Dagger. His eyes focused and cold as he stared at the elder. Then, he charged forward again as his aura was fully unleashed.Seeing this, the elder frowned and roared, "Arrogant whelp! You're courting death!"As his words were spoken, the elder also rushed toward Xayne, with anger and resolve burning in his eyes. Never before had someone dared to defy him like this, repeatedly launching such bold attacks.The next moment, as a swish sound was heard, an arm holding a long sword was severed. It flew through the air before falling to the ground, splattering the snow with blood."Ahhh!" The elder clutched his bleeding stump, screaming in agony as he retreated dozens of meters, disbelief etched on his face as he looked at his severed arm lying in the snow. He then glanced at Xayne, who casually wiped blood from his face, his Ravenclaw Dagger dripping with fresh blood."No! This is impossible!"The elder was terrified. I

    On the other side, Xayne pursued relentlessly, cornering the elder within a valley with no escape routes on either side. The elder stopped in his tracks, turning to face Xayne with a menacing glare as he slowly advanced, each step echoing in the icy silence."King of the North, I advise you not to seek your own death!" the elder hissed as his voice was cold and threatening. "I am one of the three chief elders of the Lunisolar Circle! If you dare kill me here, the Lunisolar Circle will not spare you! Our group's master will personally emerge to avenge me, and your thirty thousand Dragonbreakers Legion will be buried with you!""Is that so?" Xayne replied coldly as his eyes gleamed with icy resolve. A smirk played at the corner of his mouth. "So, the Lunisolar Circle is hidden within these snowy mountains?"The elder frowned and nodded. "Indeed! So, I advise you not to overestimate yourself. If I return alive, you will be safe."Xayne chuckled darkly. "The truth lies within the range

    Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w

    "Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex

    Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B

    Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East

    "Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead

    "Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die

    "Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen

    "In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f

    In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
