Ch. 1471..1480
The Return of God of War Chapter 1471
The more powerful the Northern Demon was, the more powerless Erudia was bound to be.
Instead of heading straight to Erudia, the Northern Demon headed to various regions in Bayview.
His plan was to merge all the resources the prisoners provided him in the Demon’s Dungeon.
The Northern Demon was smart enough to realize the Avengers weren’t reliable enough, hence he decided to do things himself.
The only way to have peace of mind was to control everything himself.
After the Northern Demon was released from prison, he disappeared into thin air.
For a period of time after that, a peaceful moment finally came to Erudia.
As the Demon’s Dungeon and the Avengers kept the Northern Demon’s release a secret, Erudia and the whole world were kept in the dark.
Meanwhile, Levi was still working hard to investigate the Avengers.
After the Four Great Families joined forces with him, things started moving quickly.
“Is there no news about The Avengers recently?”
Levi found it strange for the Avengers were keeping a low profile.
After killing the Crown King, they should take further action to attack Erudia.
Their silence made him uneasy.
West Sky Lord replied, “Nothing for now. They are in hiding, so I think they are scheming something else.”
Levi massaged his temples. “Peace before the storm, huh? They must be planning something big. If I’m correct, they are going to flee, and this is their final fanatical plan!”
West Sky Lord nodded. “Yes. Prince William had given them eighteen islands and a piece of land. They should be planning their escape from Erudia!”
“That’s right. Before they escape, they’ll do something big to cripple Erudia so their escape will be a success.”
Everyone gazed at Levi earnestly. “Master, what will their last plan be?”
“I think they will attack Erudia directly without holding back!”
“Yes. They targeted you previously to bring a blow to Erudia. This time, they are going to destroy us!”
They expressed their agreement with Levi’s words.
A cold glint flashed across Levi’s eyes. “That means Erudia is in danger. We can’t sit by idly anymore. It’s time for us to fight back!”
“Master, we’ve only managed to find out half of the members of the Avengers. We don’t even know who their leader is. If we take action recklessly, they might get alerted,” someone voiced his opinion.
“It’s too late. Once the Avengers take action, we’ll suffer great losses!”
“Relay my order. Prepare for battle! The Four Great Families should ask their strongest warriors to be on standby!”
That very night, Levi gathered all the forces he could to wait for the Avengers’ final attack.
Still, he couldn’t tamp down the uneasiness in his heart, as he had no idea what their plan was.
As this was their final attack, he knew they would do something big.
It really bothered him.
If he got it wrong or failed to control the situation, Erudia would be in danger.
If the citizens had to suffer, Levi would be plagued by guilt.
Wait, there’s no way the Avengers will lie low at such a moment!
Levi hastily gathered everyone again.
“I believe the Avengers must’ve taken action. Who are the ones we don’t have control over?” he inquired.
“The leader of The Avengers—Kuro Dragon!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1472
“We found out where he was when we kept an eye on Black Phoenix, but he was quick enough to shake us off. We couldn’t lay a hand on him. We managed to subdue everyone except for him,” West Sky Lord revealed.
“We have no clue who the leader of the Avengers is, so he should be the mastermind!”
Levi drew a sharp breath.
“We’ve prepared ourselves for their attack, but we have no idea how they will launch their attack. Something feels off to me.”
That very night, Levi couldn’t sleep.
He felt pressured, as though a pair of eyes were gazing at him in the dark.
In the temporary base of the Avengers in Oakland City, Kuro Dragon, Black Phoenix, and the rest of the higher-ups of the Avengers were gathered together.
“Is the Northern Demon still lying low?” asked Black Phoenix.
“He’s going to take action soon. For the past few days, he had been working on merging his resources. He wants us to take action first to divert Erudia’s attention so he can attack without them realizing it. By then, Erudia’s line of defense will crumble easily,” Kuro Dragon revealed with a smug grin.
“Ah?”
“The Northern Demon came up with that trick?”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Back then, the Northern Demon was a lone ranger who attack Erudia alone.
He didn’t have any followers or tried to use any tricks.
Kuro Dragon merely laughed. “He must’ve realized being a lone ranger doesn’t work!”
“What should we do now?” the core members of the Avengers demanded eagerly.
“We’ll take action at dawn!”
By dawn, people were exhausted, but without warning, the Avengers’ members appeared all over Erudia.
Everyone was caught off guard as the Avengers attacked and destroyed the important bases and labs.
Luckily, Levi was prepared.
His men took action at once and made sure their losses were minimal.
Back in North Hampton, Levi received the news at once.
“The South is under attack!”
“The East is under attack!”
“The attack has been countered. Now, we’re going after them.”
“Same here!”
As they had planned ahead, they didn’t suffer great losses.
It was a fruitful day for Levi and his men, but The Avengers had suffered heavy losses throughout the day.
Most of Levi’s men had revealed themselves as their attention was on the Avengers.
After the Avengers took action, naturally, those people had to retaliate and reveal themselves to the enemy.
Besides the Calamity and the Four Great Families, everyone else was exposed to the enemy.
“Master, they finally took action!”
Everyone was beaming in delight, for they had prepared ahead of the attack.
Thus, the enemy had no chance of succeeding.
Levi’s frown remained. “No, something’s wrong!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
The crowd shot disbelieving glances at Levi.
Levi revealed his thoughts. “This is unlike their usual style. If this is indeed the last crazy plan of the Avengers before their escape, they would’ve gone all out instead of launching small attacks!”
“Right. It’s the last attack, so they should’ve poured in all of their efforts.”
“What will their trump card be?”
Everyone was stumped.
“I’m clueless, too.” Levi rubbed his head in exasperation.
Right then, someone rushed in and yelled at the top of his lungs. “We’re in big trouble!”
Thud!
Levi and the rest could feel their hearts sinking.
They had a bad feeling about this.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1473
“What happened?”
They immediately rose to their feet hastily.
“The enemy attacked several of our bases at the same time and caused a tremendous blow! Also, the Four National Gates were attacked. The Four Guardians were severely injured, so our first line of defense had crumbled!”
The messenger paused to take a deep breath before continuing, “Besides that, our men who had been exposed because of the plan were assaulted, too. At the same time, both Serpentine Lab and Tigris Lab had been destroyed. The enemy is advancing rapidly! Our men are at a loss now.”
After Levi and the rest got to know what was happening, there was a shocked silence.
“What? Didn’t we keep an eye on the Avengers? Why did they successfully launch sneak attacks on us?”
Levi realized something was wrong.
“I don’t think the Avengers are attacking us. Those attackers are mostly mercenaries and assassins from abroad. They are strong and undefeatable! Their leader was powerful enough to destroy three of our defense lines in one move!”
“I was right. The Avengers’ attack was just a cover to divert our attention so these people could launch a sneak attack! They had help from outsiders. Clearly, these outsiders meant business! This is the crazy plan they had in mind!” Levi exclaimed while rubbing his temples.
In the end, he had failed to defend Erudia.
Now, the next course of action was to minimize their losses and wipe out the enemy.
“Find out who these men are and mobilize our troops to stop their advances! Also, keep an eye on the Avengers. They should be escaping any minute. We can’t let them leave Erudia alive!” Levi commanded angrily.
This time, he would uproot them no matter what.
No one could stop his wrath!
“As of now, these people have entered Erudia. We failed to track them down, there’s no telling where they will attack next.”
West Sky Lord had deployed the skynet to track these people down.
“Report back to me once you receive news of these people. I shall take action myself! The Calamity and the elites of the Four Great Families, be on standby. This is our trump card!” Levi announced as his fury intensified.
They had suffered huge losses, and their enemy was strong.
Levi was extremely strung up.
Erudia and the other countries had erupted by now after the news of the destroyed bases and labs spread out.
No one knew this day would come.
Needless to say, there were winners and losers from the outcome.
The overseas forces were overjoyed, as they had never seen Erudia this humiliated.
After the Crown King’s death, Erudia was on the brink of collapse.
They could barely conceal their delight.
However, it spelled disaster for Erudia for their enemy was too capable.
They couldn’t stop the intruders from advancing.
After the intruders injured the Four Guardians, they advanced into Erudia without hesitation.
No one knew what their next move would be.
To make things worse, they didn’t even know who the intruders were.
The Dragonites used up all their resources and efforts to investigate but ended up not finding anything.
Everyone was consumed by panic right now.
The unknown had instilled fear in them.
Right then, a video was revealed to the public suddenly.
It was a simple announcement made by the Northern Demon. “Erudia, I, the Northern Demon, am back!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1474
The Northern Demon was a foreign and ancient name to everyone.
Only the Four Great Families who had been in seclusion for a long time knew who that was.
The Northern Demon was one of the Five Dragons of Erudia.
The Five Dragons of Erudia were the top warriors around, and the Northern Demon was the strongest among them.
Back then, the other four of the Five Dragons of Erudia had to combine forces to subdue him.
Of course, they also had the help of various traps and a few hundred thousand troops.
In reality, the Northern Demon could defeat the four of them easily.
The Five Dragons of Erudia were invincible, but the Northern Demon was stronger than the other four combined.
Clearly, he was horrifyingly capable.
Just like his name suggested, he was a devil in human form!
His presence would only lead to destruction.
When the Northern Demon appeared in the public’s eye again, the hidden forces in Erudia, the Dragonites, and others couldn’t hide their horror.
Instantly, fear swamped their hearts.
Those who experienced what happened back then knew how strong the Northern Demon was.
He was unstoppable and showed no mercy at all.
Starting from the South of Erudia, he wiped out the entire region until he reached the East, then proceeded to Bayview.
No one could stop him!
He was the epitome of disaster.
It took them a lot of effort to capture him, but they belatedly realize that no prison in Erudia could keep him locked up.
In the end, they had to send him to Demon’s Dungeon, thinking he’d remain locked up there forever.
Did he actually escape from the Demon’s Dungeon?
“We’ve confirmed that the Northern Demon had indeed left the Demon’s Dungeon some time ago. Everything that has happened for the past two days was part of his plan!” the Dragonites reported.
Everyone blanched in horror as they wondered who could subdue this devil incarnate.
After all, the other four of Five Dragons of Erudia had gone into seclusion after being crippled in the fight.
As they couldn’t come out to fight, it meant that no one could stop the Northern Demon.
Now, the Northern Demon was back with his entourage of skilled warriors.
He had also joined hands with the Avengers, so it was practically impossible to defeat him now.
“Is this the end of Erudia?”
“He’s too strong. Who is capable enough of stopping him?”
Suddenly, everyone fell silent as a man popped up in their minds—Levi Garrison.
The fight at Mount Drago had successfully propelled him into stardom.
It seemed like Levi was the only one who could battle against the Northern Demon.
Even though Levi’s achievement was outstanding, no one was confident that he could win for the Northern Demon was too evil.
“I think we should ask the other four of the Five Dragons of Erudia for some ideas as they were the ones who defeated the Northern Demon back then.”
“Yes, that sounds like a great idea. They are the ones who know the Northern Demon the best!”
Thus, the Dragonites sent their men to locate the other four of the Five Dragons of Erudia.
When the Northern Demon’s video was released, the public was confused at first.
Gradually, the news of the Northern Demon’s past deeds spread like wildfire.
It was clear that the Northern Demon was horrible and unstoppable.
“I wish the Crown King is still alive.”
“Yes. If the Crown King is still alive, he will surely defeat the Northern Demon!”
The citizens were starting to miss the Crown King.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1475
None of them knew that the Crown King was still alive!
“I heard that even if the Crown King was alive, he wouldn’t be a match for the Northern Demon.”
“Still, he is our only hope. Is there anyone who has a possibility of defeating him?”
A long silence ensued.
In this era, there was practically no one who could crush the Northern Demon.
After hearing about the Northern Demon’s release from prison, the Dragonites and elites in Erudia could only tremble in fear.
The name itself gave them the chills.
The Wolf squad, Phoenix squad, and Dragon squad of the Dragonites gathered for a meeting.
They planned to form a Suicide Squad to go to war with the Northern Demon.
“Who is willing to join the squad?” The air went deathly quiet after that question was tossed.
Clearly, no was wanted to risk their lives for they weren’t confident of defeating the Northern Demon.
Everyone, including the Dragonites, was overwhelmed with fear.
Their legs went limp at the mention of his name, so they couldn’t summon their courage to fight against him.
Besides the Avengers, the Northern Demon also had the help of the strongest mercenary and assassin organizations in Bayview.
Even George and Albus couldn’t conceal their fear upon hearing the news of the Northern Demon being released from prison.
They had always been in awe of the Five Dragons of Erudia, especially the strongest among the five of them—the Northern Demon.
As the great families had poured all their efforts to train the successors of the Five Dragons of Erudia, they knew how capable the Northern Demon could be.
There was no way they could train the successors to be as powerful as him.
The power that he held was unimaginable.
Meanwhile, Winsor and his Asura Army were stationed at the Ether training base in the North.
They had just been attacked and suffered from a great loss.
Still, they managed to defend the training base from the enemy.
“Boss, the Iron Brigade is the only one standing. The other troops sustained severe injuries, especially Minka’s troops.”
Zar was reporting the other training bases’ conditions to Winsor.
“Everyone, hang in there. Don’t embarrass me!” Winsor declared.
As the Ether was in treacherous terrain, they could defend themselves for now.
“Is there any trace of the Northern Demon?” asked Winsor.
After the Northern Demon announcement of his return, he had never shown himself to the masses.
His subordinates were everywhere, though.
“He isn’t seen anywhere. Someone predicted that he’ll appear in Oakland City instead of coming to the North,” Bolgun declared.
“I hope someone will find a way to crush the Northern Demon. He’s a demon, while we’re just ordinary human beings. We’re no match for him.”
Even though Winsor was part of the Great Family of Frostford, he was filled with horror at the mention of the Northern Demon.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar pierced the air, causing the animals to escape in fear.
A sinister chill seeped into the air as everyone palpitated and panted uncomfortably.
Various negative emotions devoured them all at once.
Some even had the urge to take their own lives.
It was as though the world had turned bleak.
Only emptiness and silence remained.
It was a depressing and unbearable sensation, as they felt as though the deepest fears in their hearts had been drawn out.
“T-the Northern Demon is here. He’s in the North…”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1476
The Northern Demon’s arrival shook the earth, turning it into rubble.
Terror grew in everyone’s hearts.
He was a killing machine, and they were his prey, including the experienced Gods of War like Winsor.
Before the Ether, a black figure stepped forward slowly with a crowd trailing behind him.
It was the Northern Demon.
Boom!
Winsor nearly lost it when he saw that lone figure.
He’s in the North! Why isn’t he in Oakland City? No one got it right!
Shit, we’re doomed. The Northern Demon isn’t going to launch his attack on Oakland City.
As a member of the great family, Winsor knew how horrifyingly powerful the Northern Demon was.
Yet, his subordinates were ignorant and fearless.
“Boss, we’ll do our best to defend the Ether! After we win, the world will know of us!”
“Yes! Everyone will be in awe of us as we defended the Ether from the Northern Demon!”
The Asura Trio were lost in their reverie.
Winsor’s face darkened at once.
Defend? That’s not the main point now.
The entire Asura Army might get wiped out. Still, we can’t back down! I can’t give up!
“Asura Army!” he barked out.
“Yes!” the soldiers responded.
“We shall defend our territory no matter what!” he commanded. “We have an advantage over them, so it won’t be easy to break through our line of defense!”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Winsor’s face.
The next second, a series of exclamations was heard from the troops.
“Where is he? He disappeared into thin air!”
Everyone rushed forward to see what was going on.
The Northern Demon, who had been striding ahead alone a moment ago, was no longer in sight.
He had just vanished under everyone’s watchful eyes!
“Oh, no!” Winsor yelled.
The next thing he knew, a venomous gaze landed on him.
Sweat dotted his forehead and dripped down his face instantly.
The Northern Demon is among us!
As wails of anguish rang out behind him, he turned to see the Asura Army crumbling down.
It was clear that the Northern Demon had broken through their defense easily, clearing the path for his people to march in.
“Let’s go! It’s our chance to prove ourselves!”
The Asura Trio reacted swiftly and charged ahead.
Thump, thump, thump!
At once, three bodies were sent flying.
They couldn’t even stand one hit from the Northern Demon!
Winsor’s eyes glinted menacingly. “We can’t admit defeat! We have to defend the North!”
“Ha! Clueless idiot. Can you defend the North?” The Northern Demon appeared in front of Winsor and gave him a punch.
Instantly, Winsor coughed out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying back.
“Is this the God of War? You’re no match for me.”
Winsor struggled to his feet and declared, “Come! Let’s battle!”
Though he knew he was no match for the Northern Demon, he refused to leave the front line of defense.
“Don’t be a fool. Hurry, leave now!”
Right then, Minka appeared out of nowhere and tugged on Winsor’s sleeves urgently.
“No! I, the God of War, have never been defeated before!” Winsor declared stubbornly.
“You don’t deserve to be the God of War. Besides, how shall we crush the Northern Demon? I’ve received orders from the Dragonites, asking us to retreat. There’s no need to sacrifice our lives for nothing!” Minka yelled.
“Fine! Retreat now!” Winsor commanded.
Shortly after, the Northern Demon successfully conquered the Ether.
The other training bases around were occupied, too.
The North had fallen into the enemy’s hand.
The Northern Demon stood at the highest point and gazed into the far distance with a smug grin. “Erudia, can you still stop me?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1477
“Sir, what an amazing feat!” his subordinates yelled raucously.
They were excited, for the Northern Demon had conquered part of Erudia easily.
After appearing in the North, the Northern Demon wiped out everywhere he went, including the defense lines and the training bases.
The whole of North was terrified and kept retreating.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen Erudia retreating!”
“The Northern Demon is amazing! He is so powerful that the North kept retreating!”
“He’s unstoppable. How will Erudia defeat him?”
“Luckily, the Northern Demon is Erudia’s enemy. If he is on their side, it will be a nightmare for us!”
After the Northern Demon’s continuous victory, the foreign forces went wild.
It was the first time they had seen someone who rendered Erudia helpless.
“If the Northern Demon was released earlier to kill the Crown King, there won’t be so many casualties!”
“Yes. The Northern Demon is the nemesis of Erudia!”
The results were better than what the Avengers had expected, so Kuro Dragon was beaming from ear to ear.
He announced happily, “I was planning on escaping Erudia once the Northern Demon took action, but there’s no need to do so now. We have plenty of time, so we can stay and enjoy the show.”
Black Phoenix nodded in agreement. “Yes. They have no time for us now, so we can leave whenever we want.”
“Boss, what will the ending be? The Northern Demon is undefeatable. He’s three times stronger than he used to be, and he has the help of so many elites,” asked Black Tiger.
Kuro Dragon thought about it before answering, “In the end, Erudia will talk to the Northern Demon and give in to his demands. That’s all I can think of.”
Indeed, the Northern Demon’s advance was unstoppable.
Left with no choice, Erudia would have to negotiate peace.
“Impossible. Erudia has never done that. They’d rather die than kneel down and beg to survive.”
“I think so, too. Erudia won’t negotiate peace.”
Black Phoenix and the others stated their opinions.
“Mm, you could be right. The Erudians are hypocrites. They won’t cave in and attempt to negotiate peace. But can they defeat the Northern Demon? If they refuse to hold peace talks, they have to go against him. That will only increase their losses and casualties. In the end, they will still have to cave in,” explained Kuro Dragon.
“You’re right…”
It was only then that everybody realized that there was some truth to his words.
The Northern Demon was powerful enough to destroy Erudia, so they had no choice but to give in to his demands.
To survive, they had to throw away their pride.
Erudia would be humiliated through and through.
Still, it couldn’t be helped, for the Northern Demon was undefeatable.
Meanwhile, the Dragonites were having a headache.
They didn’t expect the Northern Demon would appear in the North.
He was powerful enough to break through their defense lines alone!
Soon, the other regions would be occupied as well.
Even Oakland City would be in danger.
“What should we do?”
“The Northern Demon is too strong! No one can defeat him for sure.”
“Even if the Crown King is here, we can’t let our guard down. I don’t think the Crown King is as powerful as the Northern Demon.”
“Yes, they are not on the same level.”
Right then, the other four members of the Five Dragons of Erudia sent news.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1478
They had a plan to crush the Northern Demon!
It was great news for the Dragonites and Erudia.
They were in their darkest period, but help came their way unexpectedly.
Could it be that the Five Dragons of Erudia are having a comeback?
“Are the Eastern Hellhound and the rest having a comeback?”
Everyone was clearly excited.
“No. They aren’t fit enough to go to battle.”
“Then?”
“Their disciples can help us out!”
“Are their disciples capable?”
“The Eastern Hellhound and the other three claimed that they had taught the four disciples everything that they knew. It took them a few decades to train the disciples! For the past few decades, they had been studying the Northern Demon’s moves and ability. It took them a lot of effort to devise the Fusion Attack to defeat the Northern Demon! Now, the four disciples had mastered the Fusion Attack!”
The messenger concluded, “The Eastern Hellhound and the other three claimed that the Northern Demon is no match to their four disciples!”
Upon hearing that, the Dragonites whooped excitedly.
“That’s great news!”
“Turns out the Eastern Hellhound and the other three had a backup plan and trained their successors for Erudia,” someone voiced his admiration for them.
“Yes, that’s amazing. I can’t believe they came up with the Fusion Attack to defeat the Northern Demon!”
Everyone was certain that victory was coming their way.
“The four disciples will arrive by tonight to battle against the Northern Demon! To increase our probability of winning, we have decided to set up a Suicide Squad by gathering our elites to join them on the battlefield! All hidden forces need to send their representatives to join us! We’re sure that the disciples and the Suicide Squad will crush the Northern Demon!” the Dragonites announced.
The Dragonites had come up with a thorough plan.
Still, some were not convinced. “What about Levi? Won’t we get a better chance of winning if he joins us?”
“Levi is in charge of wiping out the Avengers. He doesn’t have to join the Suicide Squad. For now, the four disciples would be enough.”
The Dragonites were planning to ask Levi to lead the team to kill the Northern Demon, but that was their last resort.
Now that the Five Dragons of Erudia had sent their disciples, Levi wouldn’t be needed.
Everyone thought that the disciples were stronger than Levi and had a better chance at bringing the Northern Demon down.
After all, they had mastered the Fusion Attack developed by the Five Dragons of Erudia, so Levi was no longer needed here.
He just had to take care of the Avengers.
Yes, the Eastern Hellhound and the other three came out with the Fusion Attack to defeat the Northern Demon, but they had no idea he was now three times stronger than his past self.
The Fusion Attack could defeat the Northern Demon back then, but it was completely ineffective against him now.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that when they were studying the Northern Demon, he was improving himself swiftly.
When Levi received the order, he was naturally stunned.
After all, he had worked his butt off to lead the operation.
Levi was prepared to go to battle but at the most crucial moment, was told he needn’t come.
Instead, he was ordered to take care of the Avengers.
Levi was no longer needed because the four disciples of the Five Dragons of Erudia had offered help.
He was left behind, and that made him really upset.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1479
Still, he had no choice but to follow orders, as he was in the military.
“Yes, sir!” Levi was exasperated.
“Crown King, you might dislike hearing this, but the four disciples of the Eastern Hellhound and the other three have offered help. They are stronger than you! As they had mastered the Fusion Attack meant to defeat the Northern Demon, we decided to send them to battle. As for you, you only have to focus on taking out the Avengers.”
Levi nodded. “Yes, got it. I’m yours to command. If you need me to take the Northern Demon down, I’ll head there straight away.”
He felt indignant, but he had to tamp down his feelings for the sake of Erudia.
As long as it was for the best, Levi could do anything.
Perhaps the disciples of the Five Dragons of Erudia are better than me.
Besides the Calamity, which was kept a secret, the other people alongside Levi had been transferred elsewhere, including the Iron Brigade, which had been transferred to the North.
On the other hand, in a secret training base in Oakland City.
A few armored vehicles appeared out of nowhere.
Four middle-aged men stepped down from the car. They were the four disciples of the Eastern Hellhound and the other three—the Eastern Beast, the Western Monk, the Southern Warrior, and the Medial Soldier.
Their nicknames were based on their masters’ nicknames as a form of respect.
“It has been decades. Finally, we get to take a breather in the outside world!”
“Yes. Medial Soldier, you’re also known as Heracles. If you showed yourself to the world earlier, you’d already be the God of War by now.”
“That’s right. Nobody else is your match!”
They burst out in laughter arrogantly.
The four of them certainly had the right to be arrogant, as they were the disciples of the Five Dragons of Erudia.
The Dragonites gave them a warm welcome. “Welcome, welcome! You’re Erudia’s hope!”
“Yes, you’ll be the pride of Erudia once you defeat the Northern Demon. Your victory will be written in history!”
“Don’t worry. Our masters knew the Northern Demon would return one day, so they came up with the Fusion Attack. We’ve mastered that attack! The Northern Demon won’t be able to escape from our clutches!”
They were extremely confident in themselves.
Otherwise, the Five Dragons of Erudia wouldn’t have sent them to help the Dragonites.
“That’s great! You’re the four Dragons of Erudia!” everyone exclaimed.
“That’s our masters’ nickname. You can call us the Four Basilisks!”
They came up with another nickname for themselves.
“By the way, when shall we depart?” asked Medial Soldier, otherwise known as Heracles.
“Don’t worry. We’re still finding members to join our Suicide Squad so we can wipe out the Northern Demon and his men once and for all! I believe we’ll be ready by tomorrow noon. That’s when we’ll depart!”
The Four Basilisks nodded. “Yes. We’ll need some cannon fodders.”
They were bold enough to call the Suicide Squad their cannon fodders.
The Medial Soldier asked, “By the way, where is Levi Garrison? He was the first God of War! I’ve heard that he’s much stronger than Winsor!”
Central Army had picked him out as he was the strongest among millions of soldiers in Erudia, but after that, he remained in seclusion for a few decades.
Still, he paid close attention to the God of War and the likes.
In fact, he wanted to meet Levi and the rest.
“Levi isn’t worthy of joining the battle against the Northern Demon.”
“You do have a point.”
“If Heracles came out of seclusion earlier, Asura and the God of War won’t be his match.”
The other three chimed in mockingly.
Heracles voiced his disappointment. “I’d like to meet him. My master speaks highly of him. According to my master, if Levi had been trained since young, he’ll be far more accomplished today.”
“Forget about him. You’re our hope to crush the Northern Demon!” The others proceeded to shower him with flattery.
“Yes, assemble the Suicide Squad as soon as possible so we can battle against the Northern Demon!”
The four of them were impatient.
Meanwhile, an uproar had erupted all over Erudia over the formation of the Suicide Squad.
The hidden but powerful forces were stumped.
It was clear what the name Suicide Squad meant.
The mission was a dangerous one, so there was practically no one who volunteered to join the Suicide Squad.
As only the elites of various forces would get to join the Suicide Squad, their demises would be a huge loss for their respective families.
No one was willing to take such a huge risk.
Still, they had no choice but to obey the Dragonites’ order.
The hidden forces and the Four Great Families had to pick Ultimate class warriors to join the Suicide Squad.
Every great family had to pick twenty-five warriors.
After some preparation work, the Great Family of Westford finally picked twenty warriors.
The Ultimate class warriors who got picked were the worst or had no potential, for they would lose their lives in the battle.
After trying their best not to choose the talented warriors, they only managed to come out with twenty warriors.
To pick the remaining five, they decided to draw lots.
The other Ultimate class warriors would draw lots to decide who’d get picked.
Right then, a ruckus sounded in the Great Family of Westford.
“Don’t pick my son! He’s an Ultimate class warrior at a young age. He’s our future hope!”
Turns out Wilton Langston, one of the council members of the Great Family of Westford, was pleading on behalf of his son who got picked to join the Suicide Squad.
Wilton was the eighth brother of Thierry Langston.
His son was a genius, ranked among the top three warriors among the younger generation of the Great Family of Westford.
Of course he couldn’t bear to see his son risking his life.
Sadly, he couldn’t do anything about it, as his son’s name was selected.
“Mr. Wilton Langston, do you want to pull your son out of the list of the Suicide Squad?” Meredith and the others went to him and asked.
“Do you have an idea?” Wilton’s eyes lit up.
Meredith and her gang nodded. “Yes, we do.”
Wilton urged, “Tell me now! If your plan works, I’ll owe you a favor! You can come to me for help!”
He sounded really urgent, so Meredith and the rest exchanged glances in delight.
They had been waiting to hear these words.
As part of the Great Family of Westford, they had the support of Cora. Still, they wanted to rise through the ranks.
With Wilton’s support, they would definitely get to be more powerful.
“Yes. Ask someone else to go in your son’s stead!” Harry announced with a grin.
“Huh? But Thierry said the chosen ones can’t be replaced by other people!” said Wilton.
Meredith and the rest grinned. “This man can replace your son, no problem!”
“Who is it?”
“Levi Garrison. He’s an Ultimate class warrior and qualifies to join the Suicide Squad.”
Wilton nodded vehemently upon hearing their explanation.
