Chapter 11


    Inside the private room, as Xavier agreed to join the Oboutor Center, the atmosphere eased.


    Osric, who had been wearing a stern expression, softened slightly under Ronald’s counsel.


    But no matter how Osric adjusted his posture, whenever he saw Xavier’s hand, he felt a burning


    sensation on his face.


    It felt like sitting on pins and needles.


    Helpless, citing military matters as an excuse, Osric quickly left.


    After his departure, Ronald grumbled, “You brat. Don’t you know to take it lightly? Osric is a legion


    commander. When you hit him, it is like pping the entire Avaloria military in the face.”


    Xavier awkwardly smiled, spreading his hands and saying, “Well, you know, it was an ident. I could


    not control the strength”


    Ronald gave him a skeptical look. “You, a Warrior, can’t control your strength?


    Ronald would not believe him.


    Just like when he was a kid. Xavier was always up to mischief.


    After a moment, Ronald said seriously, “Alright, brat, go back and get ready. I’ll be waiting for you in the


    Northern Territory in seven days. This is the token ofmand for the Heavenrage Legion.”


    As he said so, Ronald tossed token that had long been prepared to Xavier.


    It was a token engraved with the shape of a soaring dragon, with the words “The Heavenrage Legion”


    on the back.


    With this token, the Heavenrage Legion could freely enter and exit Avaloria’s territory.


    Putting away the token, Xavier cast another deep look at Ronald and walked away.


    Three hourster, back in Starhaven, Ronald immediately convened a pre-war meeting.


    In the highestmand and operations room of the Oboutor Center.


    In the solemn and sacred room, more than twentymanders in military uniforms sat upright.


    Apart from the leaders of the twelve legions, there were also the highest decision-makers of the


    Oboutor Center and the Iquzir Center.


    “Geralemen, the War of the Hundred Kingdoms is imminent. Share your views.”


    Ronald spoke in a deep voice from his position at the forefront


    As the words fell, everyone looked at each other.


    Soon, a tall and burly middle-aged man, with a resolute face, spoke, “Mr. Wright, the Skystorm Legion


    will participate in the battle, guarding the Eastern Territory of Avaloria.”


    His name was William Miller, the Warrior inmand of the Skystorm Legion.


    Before his words could settle, another man in military attire spoke. “Mr. Wright, the Starryfie Legion will


    participate, guarding the Western Tertory of Avaloria?


    This man was David Wilson, the Warrior inmand of the Starryline Legion


    The Bloodwolf Legion will participate, guarding the Western Territory outside Avaloria”


    The Reddragon Legion will participate, guarding the Southern Territory”


    “The Thunderwave Legion will participate, guarding the Southern Territory


    After the Warriors inmand of the ten legions spoke, only two legions among the twelve had not


    dered their participation.


    Hearing this, Ronald felt a shock in his heart. Indeed, his greatest concern had materialized.


    Out of the twelve legions, ten were not willing to guard the Northern Territory,


    His gaze shifted to the Warriorsmanding the remaining two legions.


    “Since none of you are choosing the Northern Territory, then I will leave it to the Frostfire Legion.”


    Jacob, the Warriormanding the Frostfire Legion, said with a cold expression.


    “Well, what a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death”


    At this point, a dissatisfied sport came Com an elderly man, full of authority. It was Andrew Hernandez,


    the deputy director of the Oboutor Center.


    He looked around coldly, his tone rising slightly, “Eight ns of Starhaven guard Avaloria. Now that the


    War of the Hundred Kingdoms is about to begin, you still harbor selfish thoughts. The Northern Territory


    is the most crucial gateway to Avaloria. If lost, the consequences are unimaginable. How dare you…”


    As he spoke, a sudden pain spread across Andrew’s chest. He clenched his fingers tightly, and his


    body trembled with anger.


    “Andrew, you are not entirely correct. Avaloria is vast, and we do not only have the Northern Territory


    as a gateway.


    “Are you suggesting that we should concentrate all twelve legions on the Northern Territory, neglecting


    the Eastern Territory, the Southern Territory, and the Western Territory?


    “Furthermore, the Frostfire Legion has already been tasked with guarding the Northern Territory. If that


    is not enough, we can also send the Windfury Legion to the Northern Territory”


    The one spealing was a decision-maker from the Iquxir Center, named Coleman Berg.


    He also had another identity, which was a member of the Berg n among Starhaven’s Eight ns


    After Coleman finished speaking, another decision-maker from the Iquxir Center dered. “Lagree with


    Mr. Berg’s

    uggestion. The Frostfire Legion and the Windfury Legion will be responsible for guarding the Northern


    Territory. If mone has objections, we can vote on it.”


    Arabe, hands were raised high.


    Seconded.


    “Seconded”


    The three decision-makers of the Iquxir Center followed sust, raising their hands.


    The Warriorsmanding the legions on a sides also joined the vote


    “The Reddragon Legion seconds


    “The Nightshade Legion seconds”


    O


    “The Thunderbolt Legion seconds.”


    In the end, the meeting concluded unhappily, leaving a somber atmosphere in the room.


    After most people left, only four remained in themand and operations room.


    They were Ronald, Andrew, Jacob, and Michael, the Warriormanding the Windfury Legion.


    All four wore cold expressions on their faces, reflecting the gravity of the situation at hand.


    “Damn it, facing a national crisis, each one is thinking of preserving their own strength. It is well known


    that the Northern Territory is the toughest nut to crack. Once the War of the Hundred Kingdoms begins,


    we will face tremendous risks.


    “Indeed,” Andrew chimed in, his brow furrowing deeply, with only the Frostfire Legion guarding it, how


    can we hold it?”


    Andrew’s anger grew as he contemted the situation.


    When Jacob heard this, his brow furrowed deeply, and he said heavily, “Even if the Frostfire Legion


    fights to thest man, we will not allow any foreign troops to enter Avaloria.


    At this moment, no one understood better than Jacob what guarding the Northern Territory meant.


    It should be noted that in thest War of the Hundred Kingdoms a hundred years ago, Eldoria invaded


    Avaloria from the Northern Territory


    Even in the previous War of the Hundred Kingdoms, Maritania extended its influence into Avaloria from


    the Northern Territory.


    Hence, once the War of the Hundred Kingdoms started, the Northern Territory’s defenses faced the


    greatest pressure.


    Michael, who had been silent, raised his eyes, and his deep pupils shimmered with a faint light. “If the


    Frostfire Legion fails, the Northern Territory will be guarded by my people the Windfury Legion. I’d like


    to see who dares to step into Avaloria’s territory.”


    Upon hearing this, Jacob nced at Michael and raised an important point, The War of the Hundred


    Kingdoms has a longstanding agreement prohibiting the use of hot weapons. If Avaloria initiates the


    use of such weapons, the situation will be even more unfavorable”


    Just as Jacob fished speaking, Ronald, who had been tense all this time, suddenly smiled, “Who said


    there’s no second legion guarding the Northern Territory besides the Frostfire Legion?”


    “Mr. Wright, within Avaloria, besides the twelve legions, where else do we have spare legions?” Andrew


    said with a sarcastic


    That’s right, Ronald. Even if we call back retired soldiers, it’s toote.” Jacob frowned.


    Curiosity piqued, Michael asked, “Could it be that you are referring to the Darkme Legion?”


    After Michael spoke, Andrew and Jacob exchanged a nce, both seeing confusion in each other’s


    eyes.


    The Darkme Legion


    It was the most inysterious legion in Avaloria.


    In Avaloria, no one could directly mobilize the Darkme Legion.


    Moreover, the Darkme Legion guardest Koruame and could not spare any effort to participate in the


    War of the Hundred Kingdoms


    The three couldn’t fathom whoon Ronald was referring to as the second legion.


    Who else was there?


    Seeing the three looking clueless, Ronald grinned and reassured them, “Rest assured, with that brat


    around, the Northern Territory won’t be easy to breach.


    With those enigmatic words, he patted his backside, exited the room, and left the three remaining


    individuals in a state of shock.


    “Ronald, what exactly is he up to?”


    Jacob muttered to himself.


    Andrew and Michael also fell into contemtion, their minds racing to decipher Ronald’s intentions.


    On the other side, after leaving Tranquility Cafe, Xavier headed toward the Pemberley Mansion


    With half a month left until the War of the Hundred Kingdoms, there were some matters he wanted to


    resolve before departing.
