Ch. 1651..1660
The Return of God of War Chapter 1651
No one, not even Zoey and Levi, could have guessed that the nerdy mad scientist they knew had developed a weapon capable of killing Supreme class warriors.
How could it even be possible?
The information about Supreme class warriors was all kept in Dragonites’ most secretive archives room.
How did an ordinary person like Jared gain access to classified information to develop such a formidable weapon?
Alas, that was just how crazy the world was!
Prodigies did exist, after all.
The more something seemed impossible, the more there would be someone trying to achieve the impossible.
That was the reality of life.
There were still many people capable of doing the most unbelievable things.
An ordinary person would only scoff at the power of a Supreme class fighter when he had a Trump card in his hand.
Unfortunately, Levi failed to think that far.
From the outside, South Hampton’s Deity Lab looked just like any other small, ordinary laboratory.
However, once going past a secret door, one would realize there was a whole other world to it.
The core of Deity Lab was underground, and it had gone undetected by South Hampton’s relevant authorities.
And it was precisely this part of Deity Lab that became the base of where Jared did his research for the superweapon.
At that moment, Jared was boiling with anger as he ranted away, “Last time, I could never hold up to him, so I understand if you didn’t like me then! Now, he’s utterly worthless while I’m standing at the pinnacle, yet you still push me away! Times have changed! I’m the only one you should be with, not Levi! Why do you keep defending him?”
Jared couldn’t, for his life, fathom why Zoey rejected him even with his current accomplishments.
He didn’t even care for Supreme class warriors who were supposedly the strongest in the world.
Levi, who was merely an ordinary man, had even less right to be his opponent.
Even though Jared was also an ordinary man, his current status far exceeded any other person’s. All he had to do was say the word, and many countries would be fighting to recruit him.
Even Supreme class warriors would be following him around like puppies.
“Mr. Schmidt, please calm down! There’s a team leader from Triple Group here to see you,” Jared’s assistant announced.
Jared regained his composure before calmly replying, “Very well, show him in!”
Nedley Glover, and a handful of senior management personnel from Triple Group, were soon ushered into Jared’s laboratory.
“Get right to the point,” Jared said impatiently.
Knowing he had the upper hand, Jared had no intention to hide his arrogance even with Triple Group around.
“Triple Group would like to acquire the superweapon that you have built, as many as there are. We’d also like to buy all of the technology and engineers working on it!”
As soon as Nedley said those words, Jared’s gaze immediately darkened.
Before Jared could reply, Nedley added, “If you agree to it, Triple Group is ready to do whatever it takes to fulfill all your terms and conditions!”
Jared knew it was a straightforward transaction. As long as he agreed to sell his weapon, Triple Group would give him anything he wanted.
They would also agree to any terms that Jared had.
As tempting as it sounded, Jared outright rejected it. “No, no, no. There’s no way I’ll sell the core technology and my engineers! Those are the foundations of my business!”
Sensing his reluctance, Nedley quickly replied, “Mr. Schmidt, we’re willing to give everything and anything. Whatever requests you have, we’ll fulfill them to your satisfaction! Please think about it again…”
Jared was about to reject him once again when he suddenly thought about Zoey.
There was a moment of silence as he pondered his options.
“All right, I think I can consider it, but I’m going to need some time. Besides, I don’t have to sell it to you. We can always cooperate. With Triple Group’s investment and me handling the technology and production, I can manufacture as many weapons as you like!”
Nedley’s eyes lit up as the gears in his head started turning. What Jared had counter-offered was rather feasible too.
“I hope we can receive your favorable reply soon, Mr. Schmidt!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1652
After leaving Deity Lab, Nedley immediately placed a call to Triple Group’s headquarters.
“I’m afraid things aren’t going our way. Jared’s a smart guy, and he knows we need him. I can tell he already has other plans,” Nedley said nervously.
“I hope you can come up with a proposal. If this weapon falls into the hands of others, especially Erudia’s, it’s going to spell disaster for us!”
Sensing the urgency in Nedley’s tone, the voice on the other end replied, “Okay, we’ll call for a meeting immediately!”
Back at the Deity Lab, Jared’s assistant was equally curious about what he had in mind.
“Mr. Schmidt, I see you haven’t agreed to their proposal. Does that mean you have other plans?”
Jared had a twinkle in his eye as he sneered, “Of course. I know better than anyone just how highly valued I am now. That’s why I’m not going to limit myself to only Triple Group!”
His assistant nodded in excitement before chiming in, “That’s right! If news of our weapon gets out into the public, the whole world would be in an uproar! When that time comes, you’re going to be the man that everyone wants to work with!”
“Exactly! The sky’s the limit when it comes to my options. I’ll work with the party who can offer me the best benefits. But more than anything else, I wish to work with Erudia!”
A look of eager anticipation crossed Jared’s face as he continued, “I hope they can satisfy all my terms and conditions so I can become the most prominent person in Erudia. When that happens, I’m sure that woman would stop looking down on me!”
“But Mr. Schmidt, given your status, you can get any woman you want. Why must you insist on her? Besides, she already has a child.”
Jared glared at his assistant before replying, “They’ve always known what a monomaniac I am. As long as I’ve set my sights on something, I’ll never stop until I get it.”
After letting out a sigh, Jared went on, “All these years, I’ve achieved everything I wanted, yet Zoey remains so far out of my reach. That’s the one thing I can’t get over! The truth is, I don’t like her, and neither do I want to marry her. It’s just an obsession that needs fulfilling!”
Jared’s assistant inhaled sharply at his words.
Having a pathological obsession was always terrifying and unhealthy.
One could even call monomaniacs like Jared an absolute lunatic.
However, it was also because of that obsession that Jared was able to develop an impressive weapon.
If it weren’t for lunatics like him, there wouldn’t be such terrifying and out-of-the-world creations.
“Zoey is now in Wildefield, so I’m going to let her witness the whole of Wildefield grovel at my feet! She’ll see how even someone as ordinary as me can climb my way up to the top of the world!”
Jared might have sounded cocky, but he had his reasons for being so.
Given his abilities, Supreme class warriors would be fighting to fawn over him, so why would Wildefield be any different?
Even someone like Avery would have to stand back and be at Jared’s beck and call.
After all, Jared was the key to winning the upcoming major battle. Nobody in their right mind would dare offend him.
Two days later, Forlevia and Zoey had returned to Wildefield, so it was up to Levi to fetch Abigail from the airport.
It had been a long time since they last met, and while Abigail had gotten prettier, she had also become colder and more distant.
There was an aura about her that made her very unapproachable.
Despite that, Levi had a nagging feeling that something else was off about her, even though he couldn’t quite place it.
“Levi, you’re here,” Abigail exclaimed.
Even though she was pleasantly surprised to see her brother-in-law, Abigail still made it a point to keep her emotions in check and put on a very calm demeanor.
“Zoey and Evie have returned to Wildefield. But don’t worry, I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
Once in the car, the awkwardness between them became even more palpable.
After a moment’s silence, Levi finally broke the ice, “How have you been?”
“I’m doing pretty well! But I heard you’ve gone through many twists and turns, and you’re now back to being an ordinary person?”
Levi chuckled as he replied, “It’s not bad being ordinary, you know? I’ve got my kid, my wife, and my mother. What more can I ask for in life?”
“Yes, that’s indeed a happy life!”
After a slight pause, Abigail added, “Oh right, Jared. I’m also getting married!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1653
“What?” Levi gasped.
He was so startled by the news that he hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
Levi stared at Abigail in disbelief, still unable to process the news about her getting married.
He had always seen her as a little girl, yet now she was talking about marriages.
Not wanting to probe further, Levi pulled himself together and continued driving.
After all, Abigail had every right to pursue love and happiness, and he shouldn’t be interfering with it.
The next day, as promised, Levi took Abigail to Wildefield.
When the sisters finally met, there was naturally a lot to catch up on.
With Forlevia nowhere to be seen, Levi could only wait around while Zoey and Abigail chatted away.
Just then, a familiar figure caught his attention.
Jared was striding haughtily while being flanked by a group of people fawning over him.
The venue might be full of Supreme class warriors, but Jared was undoubtedly the center of attention.
Even Avery, the Governor of Wildefield, was beside him like a puppy following its owner.
Unbelievable!
Not even Levi could fathom what was happening.
He knew all about Jared’s background, which made it even more of a mystery as to how Jared had come to achieve his current status.
How on earth did he do it?
When Jared locked eyes with Levi, he decided to walk toward him with the crowd still hot on his heels.
Distracted by the commotion, Zoey and Abigail too turned around to look.
When she saw Jared walking toward them, Zoey gaped in utter shock. “Jared? What are you doing here?”
He’s just an ordinary man. What business can he possibly have in Wildefield?
“Yes, I’ve dropped by to take a look,” Jared replied with an icy smile before beckoning for Avery.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Schmidt? I’m at your service!”
Avery’s reaction was a jaw-dropping moment as everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene in front of them.
Avery had his head lowered and was quick to make his way toward Jared with a smile.
With such a blatant display of bootlicking, no one doubted that Avery was fawning over Jared.
“Zoey is my good friend. I’m sure you know what to do?”
Without hesitation, Avery replied, “Of course, I understand. Any friend of Mr. Schmidt will be a distinguished guest in Wildefield!”
Even more shell-shocked than before, everyone could only look on in silence.
Nobody could believe that Avery would extend such special treatment to an ordinary man.
Zoey, however, was quite possibly the most stunned.
Is he still the nerdy bookworm I used to know?
Who is he exactly, and why does he have Avery eating out of his hand?
Unbeknownst to everyone, it was never Avery’s intention to humiliate himself like he just did, but Jared was just too powerful to ignore.
Jared currently had a group of warriors by his side, eight of whom were Rank Five Supreme class warriors.
There was also news that a handful of Rank Six Supreme class warriors had pledged allegiance to him.
Even if the old Governor were to stage a comeback, he still wouldn’t be a match to Jared’s combined powers. And if Jared got angry, who knows if he might deploy his warriors to destroy Wildefield?
As such, Avery had no choice but to tread carefully around him.
Trembling, Zoey asked, “Jared, what’s all this about?”
With a smug smile, Jared replied, “Remember when I said I’m not afraid of any Supreme class warriors? I wanted to prove to you that I wasn’t lying. I can even easily crush Wildefield if I wanted to!”
Avery instantly nodded his head and chimed in, “That’s right. Given Mr. Schmidt’s abilities, he’s able to crush Wildefield anytime.”
Looks of disbelief were once again on everyone’s faces.
An ordinary man possessing immense power was unheard of, yet even Avery seemed to be afraid of Jared.
“Come with me,” Jared said as he gazed at Zoey.
When Zoey instinctively looked at Levi, Jared noticed it and smiled. “Let them come along too!”
Curious to find out what Jared was up to, Levi accepted his invitation and followed him to a secluded spot.
Once there, Jared broke into a smile. “Zoey, do you know what’s my status now?”
Levi returned with a smile and interrupted, “What?”
“I only have to say the word, and I’ll become the great defender of Erudia! I’ll be highly revered!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1654
One by one, the Supreme class warriors with Jared chimed in, “Not only that, but every other country would also be putting you on a pedestal! If you wish to, you could even become coronated in any of those countries!”
“Once you give your orders, all the Supreme class warriors will pledge allegiance to you, and that includes Rank Six warriors!”
“You’re now the world’s biggest and brightest star! You’re king of the world!”
Shocking!
This is just too shocking!
If Zoey and the others had heard Jared’s speech before that day, they’d have brushed him off as a total nutjob.
Alas, with how things had unfolded, they had no choice but to believe his words.
They had to believe that even Wildefield was beneath him because there was no way he could have faked the eight Rank Five Supreme class warriors by his side.
The power he wielded was even more frightening than what Levi had when he was at his peak.
“I know you’d never be interested in someone inferior to you. But I’m now at least a hundred times or even a thousand times stronger than Levi when he was at his peak! I’m now fully capable of changing the entire world! I may be an ordinary man, but I, Jared Schmidt, have made it to the pinnacle! Am I worthy of you now?”
Jared had conveyed his feelings without any hesitation; without even caring that Levi and the others were present.
His eyes shone with unbridled enthusiasm as he started to shake with excitement.
He was very confident that Zoey wouldn’t reject him again.
After all, no woman could resist a man who was superior to everyone else.
Having heard his confession, Zoey finally understood everything.
“So that was your plan all along! I’ll be frank with you too then. There’s no way I’ll ever be with you! I will only love Levi my whole life! It doesn’t matter if he’s rich or poor. It also doesn’t matter if he’s a renowned fighter revered by all or just an ordinary man!”
Zoey’s reply had caught Jared by surprise.
Jared had always thought her reason for choosing Levi was because the latter used to be the God of War.
However, even after becoming a thousand times stronger than Levi, Zoey still refused to choose Jared.
To a monomaniac like Jared, love was something he could never understand.
“Is my status and the power I hold not enough? Or have I not demonstrated it at all?” Jared asked.
Zoey couldn’t help but laugh helplessly. “You haven’t understood me, have you? My relationship with Levi is out of pure love; there are no material attachments to it.”
Jared was about to say something when Zoey interrupted him, “And besides, Levi has gallantly protected his country before and is well-loved by many. He’s a bonafide hero! What do you have to compare with him?”
To everyone’s surprise, Jared burst out laughing.
It was at that moment when Levi’s voice rang out. “I’ve finally seen your true colors. You’re trying to snatch my woman from under my nose! Have you asked me for my permission?”
Slap!
Before anyone could react, Levi had smacked Jared across his face.
A tense silence befell the crowd as everyone widened their eyes in shock.
Even the eight Rank Five Supreme class warriors with Jared were frozen stiff.
Levi’s slap was so fast that none of them had been able to react in time.
“Kill him!”
“How dare he lay a finger on our Master!”
As soon as they got back to their senses, the warriors stared at Levi, a murderous intent blazing in their eyes.
Instead of urging them on, Jared only laughed as he held his face. “Slow down. There’s no need to kill him. Levi Garrison, I’ll remember this slap! And don’t you worry. I’ll be back very soon!”
At that moment, Jared looked very much like a demon.
His smile turned even more sinister as he added, “Zoey, you think I haven’t done anything worth mentioning? Well then, just you wait and see. It won’t be long before everyone knows my name!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1655
With that said, Jared marched away with his entourage in tow.
Burning with anger, Jared ordered, “Contact Triple Group immediately! Tell them I’ve agreed to their request and have their boss discuss the terms and conditions with me!”
He was now even more determined to do something earth-shattering to show Zoey and everyone else.
He was going to prove to everyone that he wasn’t just a nerd. He wanted them to witness his rise to power and to see him eventually becoming the ruler of the world.
The only way he could do that was to sell his weapons to Triple Group and prepare for a battle with Erudia.
His name would then be on a global stage, feared and respected by all.
Very soon, Jared had established contact with Triple Group.
The allied army had requested for all senior management to gather for the meeting, Bruce included.
Jared listed many terms and conditions, even going to the extent of saying he wanted to rule Erudia.
He was deadset on letting Zoey see what he was truly capable of.
True to their words, the allied army agreed to all his terms.
Things moved fast from then onward, with the weapons being secretly shipped out of Deity Lab overnight.
The entire Deity Lab had also left Erudia, and with the additional funds and resources, they were able to start mass-producing the superweapon.
Jared, too, had made his silent departure from Erudia.
“He’s insane! He’s totally insane!” Zoey shrieked.
Levi couldn’t help but wonder why Jared had gotten that terrifying and if he was hatching any devious plans.
“Floyd, I need you to investigate Jared,” he ordered, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Alas, Jared was cunning enough to have covered his tracks well.
Just like what was in the report, Jared’s company specialized in biotechnology and genetic engineering, and thus there was nothing unusual.
All that only made things even more inexplicable for Levi. “That’s odd. How can an ordinary man like him have so much power? He even has Supreme class warriors at his beck and call! That can only mean he has something that the warriors can’t refuse.”
Left with no other choice, Levi could only let Floyd continue with the investigation.
With the addition of Jared and his Deity Lab, the allied army had grown exponentially in strength.
They officially named themselves the Ruling Union, with four Rulers at the helm.
Even though they accelerated the establishment of the Ruling Union, the identities of the rulers remained a secret.
Soon after, the Ruling Union contacted all Supreme class warriors and forces in Erudia and its surrounding areas.
The first in Erudia to be approached by them was the Townsend clan.
With the Ruling Union making their intentions known, the Townsend clan immediately agreed to it.
After all, they didn’t care for their country.
All they wanted was to exact revenge.
The next group of forces to be approached by the Ruling Union was the various criminals in Erudia.
They were one of the most despised groups of people in Erudia. Martial artists, especially, regarded them as the scum of society.
Therefore, when Ruling Union approached them, they had no reason to turn the invitation down.
Whether it was for mutual benefits or to quell the longstanding enmity, the criminals were understandably excited at the prospect of bringing down Erudia.
Soon, many others had also joined the Ruling Union. They included the Sword Sect, Tiger Palace, and Icefire Palace, which all happened to be led by Rank Six Supreme class warriors.
It didn’t take long before Blood Palace, Crescent Moon Clan, and even Yellow Springs Palace followed in their footsteps.
One after another, more and more criminals agreed to join the Ruling Union, many of which also had Rank Six Supreme class warriors at their helm.
The more they recruited, the stronger the Ruling Union became.
The power they had amassed was far more than what they had initially predicted.
And the numbers only continued to grow.
When it was finally time for the fight, just the criminals from Erudia alone would be more than enough to make Erudia suffer.
What came as an even bigger surprise was when a group of mysterious forces took the initiative to ask to join the allied army.
They claimed to be the forces behind the Northern Demon—that had been expelled by Erudia.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1656
After that, the Ruling Union contacted all major areas surrounding Erudia once again with Raysonia as the key, and the ancient factions within Raysonia surfaced one after another.
Erudia and Raysonia have been enemies for ages, and that was especially the case for their warriors.
As such, they all joined in the movement when they heard it was going against Erudia.
The Crimson Troopers, the Black Dragon Clan, and even the Phantom Warriors were in participation.
The situation grew increasingly tense as all the forces of the Ruling Union were gathered in one place. All preparations were in place for the first official meeting between the four Rulers.
They then decided on the exact time of their assault, and the countless soldiers looked forward to the moment of that earth-shattering battle.
Upon the return of Levi and the gang to North Hampton, Abigail summoned everyone from the Rogers family, including Aaron, and announced the news of her marriage.
Pamela and Bailey were shocked beyond belief when they heard the news.
“W-Who are you getting married with?”
Levi, Zoey, and the entire Rogers family were dying to find out.
“You see, I’ve been learning about medicine from Benny Quinton throughout these years. I was also able to get acquainted with a few other medical practitioners and learned a lot!”
Levi understood what she meant when he heard that.
So that’s why I felt something odd about Abigail when I picked her up at the airport… She’s been practicing medicine! Ancient medicine too, no less! It really made her a lot more sophisticated…
“Some time ago, I met Carter Weissman, the future heir to the Medical Elite ancient family. That’s the man I am going to marry!”
Instead of feeling happy for Abigail, Levi’s heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of helplessness and sadness.
“The Medical Elite ancient family? You mean the ancient family that Erudia has granted the title of Medical Guardian of Erudia a while back?”
“I hear it’s a lot more powerful than all of Wildefield!”
“Nice one, Abigail!”
Pamela and Bailey were shedding tears of joy.
The Rogers family could only envy how the Lopez and Black families had thrived with the help from Zoey and Forlevia. However, things are different now! Abigail is going to marry into the Medical Elite ancient family, and the Rogers family will finally rise up in power!
“The wedding will take place a week later. Dad, Mom, you two should prepare for it too,” Abigail called out to her parents, but her gaze was fixed on Levi when she said that.
Naturally, Levi noticed something off about it.
“Okay, sure! We’ll have a grand wedding to send you off!”
Overjoyed, the Rogers family was quick to spread the word about the wedding as they wanted all of Erudia to know about it.
The Medical Elite ancient family too made an announcement about the wedding in conjunction with the Rogers family’s efforts.
It didn’t take long before all of North Hampton had heard about Abigail marrying into the Medical Elite ancient family.
Levi contacted Benny after the meeting was over to find out more about Abigail and Carter.
The Medical Elite ancient family wouldn’t just accept her because of her good looks or amazing figure. The more powerful a family, the stricter the regulations are. They believe that their bloodline is incredibly noble and that they were born to be on the top. There must be something more to the reason they chose Abigail!
“Why would the Medical Elite ancient family approve of Abigail? Why, it’s simple! Abigail is a genius when it comes to medicine, and I discovered her talents for it the moment I started teaching her. I’ve even introduced her to some of my old friends, and they all said the same thing about her. Abigail was able to achieve a mastery level in ancient medicine that is acknowledged by the Medical Elite ancient family, and she did it in the shortest possible amount of time. That just goes to show how talented she is, if you ask me,” Benny explained everything to Levi.
“I see… If she’s that talented, then I suppose the Medical Elite ancient family is the best place for her to be,” Levi said with a chuckle.
“She did it for you, you know?” Benny muttered to himself with a sigh after hanging up the phone.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1657
Unbeknownst to Levi, Abigail had asked Benny to not tell him the truth behind it all.
Abigail was a genius in medicine and had become a huge sensation in the world of ancient medicine.
As a result, the Medical Elite ancient family set their sights on her.
Carter came up with all sorts of ways to win her over, but Abigail rejected all of his advances.
One day, she heard rumors about Sonny from the Medical Elite ancient family planning to kill Levi.
Abigail begged Carter to not let that happen, and he agreed to her request under the condition that she married him.
That was also the true reason why the Medical Elite ancient family had left Levi alone.
“My friend, if only you knew that you’re also the reason she took up medicine in the first place… You’re fighting on the battlefield, and she’s learning to become a military doctor! She’s basically following in your footsteps!”
Levi had always treated Abigail as a little sister, so he didn’t give this incident much thought as his focus was entirely on Jared at the time.
A few days later.
“Triple Group has secretly helped Jared out throughout these years! On top of that, his company’s capital flow doesn’t match his company’s scale at all! The wealth he owns is practically equal to the richest man in the country!”
The look on Levi’s face changed slightly upon hearing that. “Triple Group, you say? I have a bad feeling about this. Floyd, inform the Dragonites about this and have them look into it at once! Something big might be on its way!”
Man, if only I could have The Calamity help me out right now. With their talent for gathering intel, I’m sure they could find me all the answers I need! It’s a shame I’ve handed them over.
Floyd let out a helpless sigh. “I don’t really have many resources at my disposal right now. The Dragonites won’t be of much help because they’re currently putting all their energy into strengthening themselves by recruiting new Supreme class warriors. Regardless, I’ll still inform them about this.”
Floyd then told the Dragonites everything as instructed.
“But we’re really short on manpower right now.”
The Dragonites were so short on manpower that they had even deployed The Calamity.
“That Carter guy from the Medical Elite ancient family has a large network, right? Maybe we could have him investigate this.”
“Yeah, that works.”
As it turned out, Carter was one of the four National Guardians—a title bestowed upon Supreme class warriors by Erudia with the purpose of strengthening their position and status.
They were given so much power that they could even command the Erudian military to a certain extent.
However, they were so idle and free at the time that they were even complaining about the Dragonites not giving them any work.
Upon receiving the order from the Dragonites, Carter simply sneered and muttered to himself, “Oh, f*ck off! Who do you guys think you are, ordering me around like this? Do you really think I’m one of your men or something? Also, I can’t believe you’re actually asking me to personally investigate a nobody like this! Have you all lost your minds? I don’t mind doing a little work, but it has to be something on a grand scale! I mean, I’m the freaking heir to the Medical Elite ancient family and a Rank Five Supreme class warrior!”
Little did Carter know, him underestimating the severity of his orders would end up causing Erudia a lot of trouble.
“Sir, are we really going to just ignore this?” asked the servant.
“That’s right,” Carter replied in annoyance.
“What will we do when the Dragonites come asking about it, then?”
“We’ll just tell them we weren’t able to find anything. Now, hurry up with the preparations for the wedding. I can’t wait to finally make Abigail mine! With her medical prowess, I could get to Rank Six Supreme class soon,” Carter said impatiently.
Seven days soon came to pass, and the whole of North Hampton was lively and merry.
It was the wedding day of Abigail and Carter.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1658
As Carter was one of the four National Guardians, practically all of Erudia knew about it and had rushed over to give their blessings.
Erudia was filled with a festive atmosphere, completely unaware that the Ruling Union had chosen to launch their assault on that very day at seven in the morning.
The four Rulers and their respective armies took up their positions in Erudia and waited for the order to strike.
On top of that, all the evil forces within Erudia were also in the position to assist the enemy forces from the inside so as to catch the country completely off guard.
The Ruling Union was prepared to launch a blitzkrieg and take over Erudia within a week.
Among the enemy was Jared with an excited look on his face as he mumbled gleefully to himself, “You’ll soon find out just how powerful I am, Zoey!”
Even Benny and the other medical practitioners were in attendance at Abigail’s wedding.
According to Erudian customs, everyone in the country had to get up early to prepare for it.
Some of them even stayed up all night for that exact reason, and Levi was one of them.
He furrowed his brows as he looked up at the sky during the wee hours.
This doesn’t look like a good day…
The old man in prison had taught him some ancient astrology. The way the stars were aligned at the time spelled disaster.
Levi approached Abigail directly and told her about his thoughts, “This isn’t a good day for the wedding. Just to be safe, I suggest you have the Medical Elite ancient family postpone it.”
At the same time, he also informed Floyd about his observations and had him remind the Dragonites to stay on their guard.
Levi had been following up on Floyd’s findings of Jared on the past few days, whereas Carter made no effort to investigate him at all.
Abigail had never wanted to marry Carter, to begin with, so she nodded in agreement upon hearing Levi’s advice. “All right, Levi.”
“No way! Have you lost your mind, Levi? How could you just postpone the wedding like that?”
“That’s it, huh? Today isn’t a good day? That’s all you have to say?”
“What are your intentions?”
Questions came from everyone around them, and even Zoey was giving Levi a strange look.
Does Levi not wish for Abigail to get married?
“I’ve been observing the stars in the sky, and there’s something off about this day. It’s not recommended to have the wedding today.”
“Bullsh*t! This is the best possible day to have the wedding!”
“Cut the crap and get lost, Levi!”
“What are you? Some sort of fortune teller?”
Everybody ignored Levi’s warnings and treated him like a joke.
Having no other choice, Abigail could only get changed into her wedding gown and carry on with her makeup.
At about six in the morning, Carter arrived at the Rogers residence with his convoy to pick Abigail up for the wedding.
“Come on, Abigail. I’m here to pick you up,” he shouted, but Abigail simply stood there in silence.
“What are you doing, Abigail? It’s time to go!”
Carter raised his voice and shot Levi a glance in an attempt to threaten her.
Abigail took a deep breath and looked longingly at Levi in response, much to his confusion.
Why are they both looking at me like that?
“All right, let’s go,” Abigail said as she got into the car.
Carter broke into a gleeful grin, and everyone watched as the convoy slowly disappeared from sight.
The clock soon struck seven, and signal flares were launched into the air from the Erudian borders.
Zoom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Return of God of War Chapter 1659
Everything seemed calm on the south of Erudian waters where the martial artists in charge of border security were patrolling the area.
Suddenly, one of the martial artists yelled in shock, “Hey, something doesn’t seem right! Look, up ahead!”
There was a huge fluctuation in the waves, and it seemed like something huge was speeding toward them beneath the surface.
“Alert! Alert! Danger approaching!” shouted the martial artists.
Boom!
The next thing they knew, their patrol boat was overturned, and the water around them was soon stained red.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, signal flares exploded in the sky above.
The Ruler in charge of attacking from the south had launched an assault on Erudian waters with Poseidon’s Palace leading the charge.
With a Rank Six Supreme class warrior like Poseidon on their side, they were an unstoppable force and successfully wiped out the Erudian martial artists guarding the area.
The Erudian borders were soon engulfed by the flames of war as the Ruling Union’s army continued its assault from the south.
Through the surprise sabotage and their overwhelming strength, they were able to quickly break through the first line of defense and force the Erudian troops into retreat.
The northern border of Erudia was surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and it was so cold at the peak that even martial artists could barely stand it.
The Dragonites were aware of that and had strengthened the security there by stationing a lot of men there.
The mountains formed a natural barrier called the Snow Dragon Fort, making it incredibly difficult to launch an assault there.
Simply by holding that line, the Erudian forces would be able to defend the entire northern border.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Signal flares exploded in the sky all of a sudden, and waves of black figures appeared in the snowy landscape ahead.
“Enemy spotted! Danger up ahead!” the martial artists shouted when they noticed the threat.
Boom!
The next thing they knew, a terrifying avalanche occurred in the mountains on both sides of the Snow Dragon Fort, engulfing it within minutes and causing huge amounts of casualties.
“Attack!”
With the Snow Dragon Fort down, the Ruling Union’s army charged straight in.
A simultaneous assault was also launched on a few of the training bases located in the northern plains.
This was far worse than the time the Northern Demon attacked, as a majority of the enemy forces were Supreme class warriors much stronger than the Northern Demon.
The Erudian martial artists were completely outmatched and unable to hold their ground against the overwhelming assaults.
Just like that, the first line of defense in the north was swiftly overrun, and the training bases fell one after another.
Meanwhile, the Ruler in charge of taking the eastern border led the major forces of Raysonia and Keerea into battle.
Armed with Jared’s weapon, they were incredibly powerful and broke through the border’s defenses in less than half an hour.
However, none of the above came close to the strength of the Ruler’s forces in charge of the western border.
The forces that Bruce and his men had contacted were all in this team, and they took down the entire western border in the blink of an eye.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1660
“Attack! Attack!”
“Quickly! We mustn’t let the Erudian forces have time to react!”
They were simply too fast and overwhelming that the Erudia’s entire first line of defense was crushed in less than an hour.
The Erudian forces didn’t even have the chance to warn their people of the enemy’s invasion.
They only managed to get an SOS message out about half an hour later.
Suddenly, alarms began blaring at the Dragonites training base.
Snow Dragon Fort of the north requesting backup! We’re under attack! I repeat—we’re under attack!
Training base 8 of the north requesting backup! We’re under attack!
Southern border patrol requesting backup! The enemy is very powerful!
Western border requesting backup! The first line of defense in all eight major areas has been completely broken through!
Eastern border requesting backup! The first line of defense has been overrun! All forces have been completely annihilated! The enemy has got Rank Six Supreme class warriors!
The enemy is still advancing! They’re too fast! Please send backup!
Erudia is in danger! Requesting immediate backup!
The Dragonites training base descended into complete pandemonium as they were bombarded with thousands of SOS messages and counting, all of which took place in less than a minute.
On the huge monitor in the control room, countless red blips had Erudia surrounded and were closing in rapidly.
There were red lines that indicated their attack routes, and black or green blips that slowly turned red.
Their attack routes were indicated by red lines, and the green blips representing training bases slowly turned red as they got overrun.
The huge circle formed by the densely packed red blips showed how huge the enemy’s forces were. It was rapidly expanding in size like a huge beast consuming Erudia.
That was the first time the Dragonites and all of Erudia had ever witnessed such a shocking sight.
In the past, they had fought all of their wars with jets, tanks, and all sorts of modern weaponry.
However, everything changed since the martial artists came out of hiding, especially with the emergence of Supreme class warriors powerful enough to level mountains in a single blow.
One could only imagine how little the jets and tanks could do against such foes.
For the first time ever, Erudia was truly at its worst.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The alarms continued to blare as countless SOS messages came flooding in.
Help! The second line of defense in the northern plains is under heavy fire! We’re doing our best to defend it, but it’s very likely to fall! Requesting immediate backup!
Training base 7 in the north is under attack! Please send backup!
A part of the second line of defense of the eastern border has fallen! Please send help before the rest of it is completely overrun!
The enemy is forcing their way through the second line of defense at the southern border! They’ve gained control over half of the waters! Requesting immediate backup!
The enemy has broken through the second line of defense in the west! They’re approaching the third line of defense! Please help! The western border can’t hold on any longer!
The messages came in so fast that the Dragonites didn’t even have time to respond.
The whole point of launching a blitzkrieg was to catch the opposing forces completely off guard by attacking them as quickly and aggressively as possible.
“Oh, my god! This is crazy!”
“The second line of defense is going down before we even know who the enemy is?”
“This is so scary!”
“Gather everyone around for an emergency meeting! We need to deploy our forces as quickly as we can! Erudia is facing its greatest crisis ever, so we need to act fast! Come on, hurry!”
Soon, all high-ranking members of the Dragonites gathered around, and they each deployed their men to help fight off the enemy.
“Hurry! Gather our men and have them support our defenses! Move it!”
