Chapter 768


    In Yatburg, Andrius was administering acupuncture to himself.


    The fake death he had staged before only temporarily suppressed the insect.


    After using that unique method of suppression, the insect rebounded even more intensely. Andrius‘


    body was growing increasingly weak.


    “Andrius…”


    Like a young wife, Halle held a towel to wipe the sweat from Andrius‘ forehead.


    When she saw his weakened state, she felt so distressed that she wished the insect was in her body


    instead. That way, it would spare him from this situation.


    Ding…


    Just then, Andrius‘ phone rang.


    Halle immediately picked it up and handed it to him, making sure not to look at the screen.


    It was a message from the First War God, Conrad Gibbs. “Andrius, I heard that you’re infected by an


    insect. There happens to be a skilled insect master in the prison I oversee who might be able to help.”


    An insect master!


    If that person was captured by the First War God and imprisoned in the Southern Wilds Prison, they


    must be extraordinary.


    “I’ll go there now,” Andrius replied to Conrad.


    Then, he packed his belongings and headed to Yatburg Airport while apanied by Noir and Halle.


    From there, they departed straight to the Southern Wilds.


    Just as their private jet took off, an aircraft from Kiyotonded at the airport.


    A man disembarked from the ne. He was none other than Marvin Kramer. He led the imperial envoy


    and arrived outside the Lycantroops‘ headquarters.


    “The emperor has issued an edict. Allmanders of the Lycantroops are to receive the edict!”


    Themanders exchanged nces, not knowing what scheme Registus was up to.


    However, the emperor’s edict held significant weight, so they quickly gathered.


    Marvin presented the edict and read it aloud, “The Western Nations wish for our harm and invaded our


    territory with overwhelming force.


    “Fortunately, the Lycantroops‘ unity has thwarted the schemes of the Western Nations with minimal


    cost It is truly an extraordinary achievement. Such a momentous achievement that stabilizes and


    supports the nation should be celebrated grandly


    “Thus, on the night of the uing full moon, I invite allmanders to join the imperial envoy to


    Serenity Garden for a grand celebration to express my joy.”


    The Eight Commanders exchanged nces, bewildered by the situation. They already knew that


    Registus and the Second War God were up to no good during this war, causing them much trouble.


    Now, they were publicly announcing a victory celebration…


    Something felt off. It was very strange.


    Fenrir stepped forward and said, “Mr. Kramer, the Western border has just settled down after the war.


    We need to guard the borders and can’t afford to becent.


    “Furthermore, there are a series of policies that we need to push due to the territorial concessions from


    the Western Nations. We really can’t leave.


    “I think it’s better to call off this celebration.”


    He could not figure out Registus‘ intentions, and the Wolf King was absent, so he decided to reject it. It


    was a prudent choice.

    “Yes, Mr. Kramer, we still need to guard the borders. There’s no need for a banquet.”


    “Mr. Kramer, it’s easier to win territory than to keep it. We mustn’t let our guard down.”


    “Mr. Kramer, forget about the banquet. Please return.”


    Marvin anticipated this situation and smiled, advising, “Gentlemen, it’s customary to celebrate after a


    victory. This will uplift the people’s spirits and reward the soldiers too.


    “If you don’t attend, the citizens of Florence might think that the emperor is neglecting those who


    contributed. That would be bad.


    “We wouldn’t want our citizens to feel a gap in their hearts toward Florence, right?”


    Fenrir could not refute that. The Wolf King had always taught them to protect and serve the people. He


    exchanged a look with the othermanders and realized that everyone was also helpless.


    Thus, he agreed


    “How about this? Mr. Kramer, I’ll have themanders who contributed the most in this battle attend.”


    Then, he called over the high–ranking generals under theirmand.


    On one hand, it was because they truly could not leave their posts. Second, showcasing their


    subordinates would increase their prestige, so it was a good move.


    Merit and fame did not mean much to them.


    The Lycantroops were simple and unpretentious in that manner.


    Afterward, a general under Fenrir, Can Gills, led the high–ranking officers who made significant


    contributions in this battle and followed Marvin to Kiyoto.


    In Serenity Garden, Registus had already arranged the timing for the grand banquet.


    “The Lycantroops officers have arrived…”


    A loud shout from the guards outside could be heard.


    Registus smiled brightly. “Enter!”
