Ch. 1711..1720
The Return of God of War Chapter 1711
An icy tone echoed.
Experts popped up all over the region, and every single one of them was wearing a weird outfit. Most had an ugly face on.
The aura they exuded was as creepy as they were hellhound.
The criminals!
It didn’t take a genius to know that the Ruling Union had contacted the criminals and got them there.
Looking around, it was clear that there were quite a few people there, and they were all strong.
However, Levi scoffed and warned, “Surrender now, and I might spare your life. Know that this is a privilege that foreigners won’t get. You guys might be evil, but you are still a citizen of Erudia, so I will give you a shot at redemption.”
“Seriously? Do you actually think that you can beat us all by yourself?”
The criminals weren’t a part of the previous battle, so they didn’t know how strong Levi was.
On top of that, Bruce was too busy to warn them.
“Levi Garrison, do you even know who we are? We have been waiting for quite some time now.”
A few figures showed up after those words were said.
“Are you members of the Northern Demon?” asked Levi.
He sensed the aura of a Northern Demon member from the guys.
“That’s right! We came here to avenge the Northern Demon.”
“You know, we searched far and wide for you, and finally, we have you here.”
Members of the Northern Demon had been holding their anger in for quite some time, so they were happy to see Levi and his team there.
Levi might have an army with advanced weaponry, but as far as the martial artists were concerned, those men were nothing.
They can’t protect Levi from us!
“Stop wasting my time and come at me together,” grumbled Levi.
He was worried about the situation in the East Warzone, so he was not in the mood to bullsh*t with them.
That was also why he took the initiative to get things started.
No one expected Levi to throw the first punch like that.
“Kill him!”
The criminals attacked simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The criminals’ expression took a sharp turn as soon as the fight began.
I can’t believe he’s that strong!
That same thought flashed past everybody’s mind.
The Ruling Union had over a few hundred thousand soldiers, but Levi took them all out.
Hence, it was understandable that even though the criminals standing before them might be strong, they were nothing compared to Levi.
It didn’t take long before all the criminals lay motionless on the ground.
Among them were about fifty Rank Six fighters.
That was their strongest team!
Everybody’s eyes shone with unrelenting shock.
“Vengeance? Seriously? Are you retarded? You can’t kill me even if I stand in the same spot the entire fight,” taunted Levi as he scanned around.
Every criminal became quiet because they knew that Levi’s words were true.
“You have two choices. Either die right here and now, or surrender and obey my commands from now on,” said Levi to let them choose their own fate.
“We choose the second option. Definitely the second one. We are under your command now,” replied the leader of the Northern Demon.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
“To be honest, I don’t trust any of you. That is why I will poison you. Know this—I am the only one with the antidote, so anyone who betrays me will die. Boys, give the criminals the poison,” ordered Levi.
At first, Phoenix and the others were stunned to hear what Levi said. They were quick to regain their footing, though.
They got some pills out of a box and had the criminals swallow them.
Every criminal obeyed Levi’s command and swallowed the pills.
“I will now assign you your first mission. Take everything you have and go to Oakland City right away. Do not let our enemy set foot in there. If you fail to do so, you will die,” ordered Levi directly.
“Understood, Master. We will depart right away,” answered the criminals.
The two parties parted ways.
Levi grinned and commented, “I was worried about not having enough men earlier. They inadvertently helped me out!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1712
Everyone chuckled.
No one expected the criminals to show up in the middle of nowhere.
Dang, they are basically offering their men up for free.
Levi had already guessed that his enemy would try to ambush Oakland City.
As a military commander, he knew that was what most would do under those circumstances. Heck, if Levi was on the enemy’s side, he would send his men to destroy Oakland City as well.
That was why he was worried and was thinking about how to deal with the situation in Oakland City.
He couldn’t exactly split in half and go protect the city.
To his surprise, his enemy served themselves right up and helped him solve the problem.
Phoenix stood beside him and asked, “Do you think they’d believe that those pills are poisons? Those are actually ordinary vitamins and supplements.”
Levi had used that trick a dozen times.
He would use some random pills and tell his enemy that it was poison.
It seemed that the trick would never get old.
Levi chuckled and replied, “The more powerful a person is, the more that person would value his or her own life. They would never risk it. Moreover, I have shaken them to their core, so they definitely bought the lie!”
“Hahaha…”
The crowd laughed aloud as they continued their journey toward the East Warzone.
On the other side.
The criminals gathered.
“Is that really poison? Why do I not feel anything at all? It felt like I just drank some water.”
“It’s not fake, is it? I don’t think it’s poison at all.”
“No, it has to be real,” claimed Ice Lord and Fire Lord of the Icefire Palace, “Those common folks may seem like nothing to us, but their technology and medicine are scary. Besides, did Levi Garrison look like he was kidding?”
Those words stunned everyone.
He’s right!
These martial artists discriminated against common folks and dissed modern technology and medicine, but Jared’s Deicide taught them to think otherwise.
Modern technology has progressed beyond our imagination.
Humans, even powerful martial artists, had always feared the unknown.
That was why the criminals worried, and why they would do anything Levi told them to.
“By the way, did you guys notice the style and technique Mr. Garrison use earlier?” asked the leader of the Northern Demon gang.
“You guys noticed it too, huh?” replied Chester of the Sword Sect grimly.
“Yeah, I caught that, too. At first, I assumed that I made a mistake.”
“Really? I noticed it, too. So it’s true, then.”
The head of the Tiger Palace, Desmond, gasped and said, “So he really is the disciple of the big demon? His style is an exact match to that old man’s!”
Woof… woof…
Everyone panted heavily.
“If that’s true, then it’s only right that we refer to him as our master. We have to obey his every command,” murmured everyone in astonishment.
That was something Levi never anticipated.
The Northern Demon recognized his fighting style, but who would’ve thought that its common members knew even more about that.
Moreover, how scary did a person have to be to inspire that level of fear among the criminals?
It was beyond shocking.
Hence, no one dared to dilly dally or ignore Levi’s commands anymore.
They showed up early in Oakland City and set up a defensive perimeter right away.
They even recruited more criminals to accomplish that mission.
All they said was that it was an order from the big demon’s heir.
That single sentence got everyone to show up immediately.
Even those who had joined forces with the Ruling Union had abandoned their posts and switched stance.
At that moment.
The Ruling Union had sent five hundred martial artists, and they were already in the vicinity of Oakland City.
Those men were the last remaining resource Bruce had with him.
He planned on getting those men to crush Oakland City.
They would obliterate organizations such as the Dragonites…
That was the last wild card the Ruling Union could put down…
The Return of God of War Chapter 1713
At that moment, everyone knew that Erudia’s trump card and experts were fighting the war on the battlefield.
That had to mean that the city was vulnerable, and they assumed that conquering the city was a sure thing.
They were especially confident because they sent five hundred martial artists over.
Hence, Bruce waited patiently after he returned to Zarain.
He didn’t share the news about how he lost the battle in the West because he didn’t want the news to affect the remaining soldiers.
He also wanted to ambush Levi with Jared’s upgraded Deicide.
That was why, other than those in the Warzone, no one else knew about what happened in the West.
“We still have a shot at winning this war. First, we take Oakland City down, then we’ll have Jared kill Levi off in the East Warzone. That way, when we break through, we’d be able to coordinate with our men, who would already be inside the city. Erudia will still fall, and we will still win,” said Bruce before he prayed, “I pray to the heaven above. Please… let there be no more surprises.”
That was their last hope of winning the war.
“Mr. Bruce, the five hundred martial artists we sent are nearing Oakland City. Shall I give the order to attack?”
“Yes!” ordered Bruce.
All five hundred martial artists took off.
They entered Oakland City from different locations.
There were fifty men per team and ten teams in total.
Each one of them had their own mission to accomplish.
After receiving their orders, they ran toward their designated location to carry out their mission.
“We have been waiting for quite some time. Hahaha…”
Unfortunately, someone barred all ten groups as soon as they moved.
The criminals had been waiting for so long that they were about to scream from boredom.
Some even thought that Levi’s guess was wrong.
However, their enemy came, after all.
“Attack! Kill every single one of them!”
Ice Lord, Fire Lord, and the other Rank Six fighters spearheaded the team and started killing.
The five hundred men that the Ruling Union sent were all Rank Five and Rank Six fighters who were extremely strong.
Unfortunately, there were more criminals there.
It didn’t take long before all five hundred of the Ruling Union’s men were wiped out.
Blood spewed everywhere and agonizing screams echoed.
None of the five hundred fighters survived.
The invisible danger that threatened Oakland City had faded.
At the Dragonites’ training base in Oakland City.
“We received some news. It seemed that fighting experts are closing in on Oakland City.”
“Initiate defense protocol right away! The inevitable will soon befall us.”
The Dragonites anticipated the attack as well, but they had no choice.
All they could do was sit there and wait.
Surprisingly, no one showed up, even though the news of their arrival came ages ago.
Everyone was confused.
What the hell is going on?
The Dragonites remained oblivious to what happened.
At the same time, in the East Warzone.
The Triple Group had gone all out and was attacking Floyd and the others mercilessly.
The former group coordinated well with Jared’s Deicide and left dead bodies all over.
Floyd’s side was suffering heavily.
Supreme class fighters were falling one after another, and they kept being pushed back.
They had already fallen back to the fifth defense barrier, and the criminals were attacking them from behind.
They were trapped in all around.
At first, they estimated that they could hold on for a few more days.
The situation at the time made it so that they could, at most, survive a few more hours.
Even Floyd and his team of elite fighters were wounded.
“This won’t do. We’re still moving too slowly! Our comrades in the West Warzone had fallen, so we’re the Ruling Union’s last hope. From now on, we must abandon all selfish desires and unite as one. We can’t let all this be for naught!”
“He’s right. It all comes down to this!”
At that critical moment.
Lee Jong-guk, Jared, and the other were having a meeting.
Truth was, they didn’t get along well in the past because they didn’t have an actual leader to follow.
However, at that final moment, they united as a team.
“Attack! Go all out and vanquish our enemy. We will not give them any room to breathe!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1714
The Triple Group truly united and was going to deliver the most devastating blow to Floyd and the others.
“Kill them!”
The fighters of every organization were sent out.
In total, there were about two hundred Rank Six fighters and over three thousand Rank Five fighters.
That was everything they had.
Turned out, many had been hiding their aces up their sleeves and had been lying the entire time.
No one wanted to risk everything they had.
Hence, they were reluctant to send their Rank Five and Rank Six fighters to the battlefield.
Heck, even their Rank Four fighters were hidden away.
That was why the East Warzone hadn’t fallen.
Floyd and his men couldn’t last that long if the Triple Group had been honest with each other from the beginning.
At that moment, Jared was using all of his weapons, but he kept the upgraded Deicide aside.
They wanted to make it so that Floyd and the others couldn’t even catch their breath.
We will kill them all in one go.
“Keep fighting. We must defend our country!”
Floyd and his men fought like they were ready to die.
Their comrades from The Calamity were their role models.
Hence, they weren’t afraid of anything.
Boom!
Bang!
Both sides were mercilessly killing one another, and it was a bloodbath!
Everything spiraled out of control, and it was as if the world had turned upside down.
Erudia suffered heavy casualties.
Their enemy only sent a small wave over, but Floyd had already lost half of his men.
Floyd was injured by Deicide as well. It was just a brush, but the weapon still wounded Floyd.
Everyone else was wounded too.
Unfortunately, their enemy won’t relent.
The Ruling Union kept attacking like crazy.
Ah!
Urk!
Bam!
Their enemy was too aggressive, and Floyd’s men kept falling one after the other.
They were suffering from relentless strikes and the remaining soldiers were losing faith.
Everyone backed away.
We can’t do it. We just can’t fight anymore.
Floyd immediately shouted, “Hold up! Everybody is to keep fighting. We cannot afford to fall back. We must push forward, and that remains true even if only one of us remains.”
Just then, Floyd suddenly chuckled.
“Don’t worry, boys. Even if every single one of us dies, Master will avenge us.”
“Erudia will not fall, and our flag will always fly!”
That was the strength and determination of the Erudians.
The more resilient Floyd and his men were, the more aggressive the Ruling Union’s assault was.
The latter refused to even give the former a chance to surrender.
As such, the remaining men were forced to back into the fifth defense barrier.
“Attack! Kill everyone.”
There on the field, the Ruling Union’s army marched forward and threatened to bring Floyd and the others to their knees.
Floyd’s men were ready to lay down their lives.
“See you in the afterlife, boys,” said Floyd with a smile.
Everyone accepted their fates as their enemy drew nearer.
Death is just an eternal nap, and laying down my life for Erudia will make it worthy. It’s just… I hate it. I hate the fact that I can’t protect my country. Why won’t heaven let me save my country?
Grumble! Grumble!
At that critical moment, the earth suddenly grumbled.
An invisible wave swept the Ruling Union’s army, which encompassed several hundred thousand men away.
That wave separated Floyd and his men from the enemy.
The Earth shook, and an enormous crack showed up in the middle of that battlefield.
It turned the place into two separate regions and forced the Ruling Union’s army to stop short.
“You really enjoy bullying my disciples, huh?”
A familiar voice filled the air.
Floyd and his men were so relieved that they teared up a little after hearing that voice.
“Master is here!”
Everyone cheered.
The soldiers of the Ruling Union’s army were stunned.
All they saw was a figure dropping from the sky.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1715
It was as if he was a deity from heaven.
Boom!
The land shook like a bomb had gone off when Levi landed.
An Earthquake ensued, and a terrifying aura spread out.
The allied army stumbled a few hundred meters backward.
Levi fell from the sky, and it was as if he was a gift from heaven.
He stood there and faced the army all on his own.
There was no sign of fear on his face.
Instead, a small grin crept up, and he commanded, “You will not take another step forward with me here. I command every single one of you to surrender right away or I will kill you!”
He was on his own. Yet, he demanded the entire army to surrender.
How powerful did a man have to be to have that confidence?
“Hell yeah! That is so cool, Master,” shouted Floyd.
The others cheered loudly as well.
The allied army of Ruling Union was completely flabbergasted.
What the f*ck? Is he telling us to surrender even though he is alone while we have an army with us? Is that guy crazy or is he just plain stupid?
“What’s going on? What happened up there? Why did everyone stop?”
Lee Jong-guk and Jared, who were behind the army, demanded an answer.
“Oh, no! It’s Levi Garrison. He has reached the East Warzone,” exclaimed a guy who recognized Levi.
Lee Jong-guk’s expression took a sharp change. He commented, “He’s here? Isn’t that guy a little too fast?”
Bruce had already told them just how powerful Levi was.
Even the most prominent force within the Ruling Union could not stop him, so just how powerful was the guy?
No one knew the answer to that question.
All they knew was that he could squash Rank Five and Rank Six fighters like they were bugs.
He was so strong that he got others to tremble in fear.
Jared, however, was smiling in delight.
“Levi Garrison, you’re finally here! I have been waiting so long,” said Jared.
HIs eyes were burning with insanity and eagerness at that moment.
The Ruling Union only had one mission for him, and that was to kill Levi.
If he accomplished that, he could get everything he wanted.
One of the things promised to him was that he would be promoted and become the king of Summerbank!
Jared couldn’t help feeling excited when he thought about how he would be king.
“Come on, boys! Get all the upgraded Deicide over and direct them all at Levi Garrison,” commanded Jared right away.
He had Deicide in position when he informed, “To maximize the chances of killing that guy, I will need all of you to get him exhausted. Our chances of victory will be higher if I were to fire the weapon when he is worn out. Don’t worry, all the Deicide are designed to kill him, so he will not survive this.”
Jared seemed confident.
“Kill them!”
Then, the order was issued.
The allied army went all out and attacked Levi.
“Great! I haven’t had my fill in the West,” claimed Levi before he forged ahead while unarmed.
He battled against the army.
Floyd and the others were a little worried initially, but they later saw how Levi was keeping up with the army.
Everyone was surprised.
“Oh, man! Master really is something else. Hell, yeah!”
Erudia’s army cheered in excitement.
They’ve heard stories about how a single guy could defeat an army of a hundred thousand, but that was the first time they witnessed it.
He is actually fighting over a hundred thousand martial artists all on his own!
That is so cool!
The Erudians weren’t the only ones who were surprised, though.
The Ruling Union was flabbergasted as well.
They wondered how strong Levi truly was.
That freaking dude is fighting more than a hundred thousand martial artists simultaneously, and he’s becoming more ferocious with each punch!
The crack Levi had formed earlier was still there, and no one was able to step past it.
That was how strong Levi was.
On top of that, he was forcing the Ruling Union to back away.
This is shocking!
It is simply too shocking!
What the f*ck? How does human like this even exist?
“This won’t do. If things keep progressing this way, our men will not be able to hold Levi Garrison off.”
“Push forward! Get the weapons closer!” ordered Jared right away.
Every single Deicide aimed at Levi after they were in position.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1716
“Deicide One in position!”
“Deicide Two in position!”
“Deicide Eighty-eight in position!”
It didn’t take long before over a hundred Deicide were in position and aiming at Levi.
“I want everyone to clear the way in ten seconds and leave Levi Garrison completely exposed!” commanded Jared.
“Now!” ordered Jared when the timing was right.
The allied army suddenly parted.
As promised, they were gone within ten seconds, and Levi was completely exposed on the field.
He was the bull’s eye that the Deicide were aiming at.
Levi sensed something at that moment.
He felt like hundreds of pairs of eyes were locked on him, and it got him uncomfortable.
He wanted to leave, but he couldn’t, because there was nowhere to flee.
Floyd and his men knew exactly what was happening.
“Oh, shoot! The Deicide! They’re probably using the Deicide against Master.”
“This is crap. Master, run!”
Floyd and his men quickly shouted to warn Levi.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
Deicide had tracking software and being locked in while standing in the middle of an empty field was equivalent to death.
There was no escape.
Jared was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
Killing Levi meant too much to him.
Jared had dreamt countless times of how he would defeat Levi on the field that Levi was most familiar with.
That dream was about to come true.
And I am doing so much more than just defeating him. I am killing him!
“Zoey Lopez, bet you never thought that this would happen, huh?” murmured Jared before he roared at the sky.
Jared was on the verge of going insane after the weapons locked in on Levi.
“Die, Levi Garrison!” roared Jared.
Every Deicide went off simultaneously.
Their terrifying power gathered at one point and shot right out.
Boom!
Boom!
The power it shot out was too strong, and even the recoil was devastating.
It caused the mountain to shift, and an earthquake of incredible magnitude spread out for miles.
That was just the aftereffects of Deicide being fired.
As for the actual power that those devices held… Well, that was something Floyd and the others had witnessed before.
What they never saw, however, was how things would be when all those weapons fired at the same guy.
It was beyond their imagination.
Boom!
The first energy wave hit Levi, and the Earth grumbled.
However, he didn’t disintegrate or turn into a mist of blood like everyone had anticipated.
That meant that a single shot from the Deicide couldn’t hurt Levi.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Deicides took turns and fired at Levi continuously within that short period of time.
Even then, Levi didn’t budge.
He wasn’t injured either.
That being said, the ground beneath his feet had cracked.
It looked like a spider web and was spreading outward endlessly.
Ten miles… a hundred miles… a thousand miles…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Deicide kept firing continuously, and they never stopped.
One after another…
It seemed Jared was truly going all out to kill Levi.
Bang! Bang!
With power like that, even someone as strong as Levi couldn’t hold on.
He stumbled backward and kept backing away.
It was obvious that he was no longer as strong or as agile as he was earlier.
Boom!
Boom!
The Deicide kept firing, and they refused to let Levi catch a breath.
No one knew how many energizers were used, but it was obvious that Jared had spent all of his fortune.
Urk!
Levi finally vomited blood.
He was hurt so badly that he fell.
The Deicide was simply too terrifying, and that was especially true when they were used simultaneously on a single person.
It was so devastating that it wounded Levi.
“Hurry! Use the upgraded Deicide now!”
Jared saw an opportunity and wanted to kill Levi off in one go.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1717
Levi was still struggling on the field.
The Deicide was ridiculously powerful and almost destroyed the place.
Worse still, it was all just the beginning.
They finally installed the energizer into the upgraded Deicide.
There were only eight upgraded Deicide in total.
Their production was more costly and required more resources.
The danger involved was also higher because the upgraded energizers were less stable.
However, those Deicides were several times more destructive than their predecessors.
It was difficult to control them, and the technology behind it was more advanced.
The Ruling Union was actually worried that they might make a mistake and cause the energizer to self-destruct. That would deliver a devastating blow to their own people.
It was also why Jared was nervous.
Would the upgraded Deicide actually work?
No one really knew, and they were about to find out on that battlefield.
“All eight upgraded Deicide are ready and in position.”
It didn’t take long before all the Deicides locked in on Levi.
“Fire! Exhaust all the energizers. There is no way he can survive this,” roared Jared.
They only had eighty energizers for the upgraded Deicide because its production was too complex.
Eighty was all they could afford.
In theory, the upgraded Deicide could annihilate Rank Six fighters instantaneously.
Firing all eighty energizers at Levi… The destruction was beyond imagination.
“Master, run! Please stop being so stubborn. You won’t survive this.”
“He’s right, Master. We beg you. Please run!”
Floyd and the others were at the back, and they couldn’t bear to see Levi enduring it all on his own.
“I know what Master is thinking. He won’t back down until he exhausted all of the Deicide.”
“Yeah, those weapons’ mere existence threaten Erudia, and he is using his own body to force our enemy to exhaust all their energizers!”
The other men were shocked.
“He is sacrificing himself to exhaust our enemy’s resources?”
“Yeah, that’s how our Master is,” answered Floyd and his men.
Pride and admiration filled their voice, but there was also a hint of sorrow.
All they could do was watch as their master endured everything. They couldn’t help at all.
“Do not step forward without my permission!” warned Levi, who was worried about his comrade despite his own dire situation.
“Master!”
“Hold up. You have to survive this, okay?”
Everyone clenched their fists.
They prayed that Levi could survive it.
At that moment, everyone knew that the upgraded Deicide would be going off next.
“Fire! Kill Levi Garrison right now!” howled Jared.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The upgraded Deicide went off simultaneously.
“Ah!”
“Gah!”
The people operating the weapons were all wearing protective gears, but even then, they were vanquished by the recoil.
It was horrifying.
Everyone gasped.
The upgraded Deicide are shockingly powerful!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Levi stumbled backward and spewed blood every time the upgraded Deicide was fired.
It was obvious that he couldn’t withstand the power of the upgraded Deicide either.
“Go on, keep firing!” urged Jared.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Jared was going crazy as well.
He used up all the energizers within the shortest time frame.
The weapon was too powerful and terrifying.
Levi was hit again and again.
Boom!
Boom!
When the sixty-seventh energizer hit Levi, he suddenly disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
He was gone, and over a hundred thousand men witnessed it.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1718
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, all eighty energizers were fired simultaneously, so the remaining thirteen shots missed their target after Levi disappeared.
The spot where Levi stood, however, was in shambles.
It was in such a bad shape that it looked like the set of an apocalypse movie.
“He’s gone. Levi Garrison is dead! We did it. We did it!”
The Ruling Union cheered together.
They celebrated as if they had already won the war.
Jared, in particular, howled, “There is no more Levi Garrison, and I am the only king in Erudia. My name, Jared Schmidt, shall be in the history books!”
Everyone stared at Jared in astonishment.
No one could’ve guessed it, but an ordinary guy like Jared turned out to be the most important player in the field. He turned the situation around for them.
Who could’ve imagined it?
Levi was strong. He destroyed most of the Ruling Union’s forces when he defeated them in the West Warzone.
Hell, he even crushed Rank Five and Rank Six fighters like they were ants.
Yet, Jared’s Deicide killed the guy.
Jared’s value raised exponentially after that.
He became the winner that everyone praised, and his dream of being a king was easily realized.
“We won! We won!”
Lee Jong-guk shared the good news with Bruce right away.
“We won! With Levi Garrison gone, there is no obstacle in our path anymore. Our victory will be complete once we take Oakland City down! Erudia is within our grasp now.”
By then, the Ruling Union could already picture their victory.
Bruce was ever so excited.
Unfortunately, some men came for him at that moment.
Every single one of them was wearing a black tuxedo and had the same pin on their chest.
Bruce’s expression took a sharp turn after he saw them.
The men were from a Zarain secret organization known only as Shield.
Shield had been around for quite some time, and all of its agents had special abilities.
It was a highly secretive organization in Zarain, no… it would be more accurate to say that organizations like theirs were rare, even on a global scale. The reason behind it was that they controlled part of the most mysterious secrets and powers on earth.
However, they weren’t like the Dragonites, though.
Shield had real power, and they were responsible for causing terrors that were thought to be supernatural.
Rumor had it that Shield was the one that created the Gods’ Promise by order of the Ruler…
Even Bruce and his men were terrified of Shield.
“Withdraw now. Erudia isn’t as weak as you guys think. Don’t underestimate the sleeping lion there. If you force it to a corner, it will awaken,” warned the Shield agent directly.
Bruce grinned and replied, “Yeah, you’re right. Erudia managed to force us out of its land earlier, but still, they are no match against us. Soon, you will see the glorious sight of us occupying Erudia.”
“Well, I tried. Good luck!” said the Shield agent before he turned around to leave.
They were only there to deliver a message, anyway.
At the East Warzone.
“Master!”
Floyd and the others saw how Levi had disappeared after the energy wave hit him.
A heartbreaking scream burst out of their lips.
Just like that, Levi was gone, and they saw it happening with their own eyes…
Everything was too sudden, and they couldn’t believe it.
On the other side.
“Attack! Breakthrough the East Warzone now!” howled Jared.
His command got the allied army to rush over like a tsunami.
Floyd didn’t have many men left with him, and everyone was still mourning Levi, so it was likely that they wouldn’t last thirty minutes.
“Everybody is to get ready. We will march to Oakland City soon!”
The army behind Jared started preparing to march forward.
Floyd and his men could barely put up a fight, so the army behind Jared assumed that the former would fall by the time they moved forward.
“Erudia is not a place where pests like you can threaten!”
Just then, a voice boomed over like the thunder from the clouds.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1719
The voice came from the sky, and it felt as if the deities from heaven had issued that warning.
The allied army stopped short.
Floyd and his men bulged their eyes as well. They looked at the sky.
Does this mean that Levi is still alive?
That thought ran past everyone there.
“No way? How can he still be alive?”
Jared was so scared that he was sweating bullets, and his lips were pale.
Everyone was still reeling in the fear that Levi instilled into them earlier.
He is too terrifying.
Boom! Boom!
A loud noise echoed from both sides of the battlefield.
“Look!”
“Over there!”
Everyone was gasping in surprise because they saw what was on their left. Several horsemen were sitting on their warhorses when they showed up out of nowhere.
They were wearing white robes and hats while their swords were strapped to their back.
There were only a few thousand of them, but the aura they exuded was so incredible that it could annihilate mountains and dry up the sea.
Warhorses showed up on the right side as well, but their riders wore black outfits with black masks donning their faces.
They were armed with arrows.
The sudden emergence of both groups flabbergasted everyone.
Erudia still had reinforcements to send over?
That thought was on everybody’s mind.
At that moment, the Dragonites’ training base had finally gotten the real-time footage of what was happening on site.
The leaders of the Dragonites turned wild when they saw those horsemen.
“It’s them! They finally showed up. I thought that with Levi gone, Erudia will be done for, but the legend is real. These men really exist, and they are here!”
The leaders of the Dragonites were so excited that they shed tears of joy.
“What’s going on? What’s happening there? Who are those people?”
The other Dragonites were taken aback.
“It was just a fairy tale that shouldn’t be shared, but now that they’re here, and everyone already saw them… Let’s just tell the team everything.”
“Okay, there was a story of how Erudia had protectors hiding in the dark, and those protectors were called Eragon. “They are families of warriors who dedicated themselves to protect Erudia. “We don’t know the specifics of how many members they have or where their headquarters are.
“However, we know that for generations, their core objective was to protect Erudia and ensure that Erudia’s foundation remains intact.
“They will only show up when Erudia is at its weakest and they will turn the tide to rescue the country from mayhem.”
“There’s more to that, though. Every major family of Eragon controls a secret segment of Erudia, and the legend says the segment, as a whole, contained a system that kept Erudia safe.”
“I actually heard another legend about it. They say that every major family held a key. When combined, a great secret will be revealed for all.”
Hearing that got everyone to gasp.
“That being said, Eragon was just a fairy tale, and we’ve only heard of their stories. Even our predecessors had never met any members of Eragon before.
“That was why when this war began, we prayed that the legends were true but never actually counted on them to help us out.
“In fact, when Levi first showed up to solve the problem, we assumed that the Eragon was the one behind it. Naturally, we later learned that it was just Levi alone.”
“So, in short, the legend is real. The Eragon exists, and they have been monitoring Erudia the entire time. Now that Erudia is at its most vulnerable, they showed up to protect the country,” someone concluded.
“Yes, that’s right. They are probably the ones who saved Oakland City as well!”
Hope donned the Dragonites’ faces once more.
We might just win this war.
On the battlefield.
Both the white-caped and the black-clothed horsemen remain quiet after they showed up.
They went after the allied army right away.
In no time, a battle broke out.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1720
The two teams of horsemen totaled to just a little over ten thousand men, but one should not underestimate them.
Every single one of them turned to a killing machine as soon as they fought.
The allied army never had a chance.
All that was left for them to do was die.
The horsemen acted like they were having a competition of which team would kill the most enemies.
Every single one of them killed like they were insane…
It was a merciless and quick battle.
With the energizers depleted, Jared had no choice but to watch as his soldiers fell one after another.
They had nothing left to retaliate with.
The battle was over quickly, and almost every soldier of the allied army died by their hands.
The Eragon’s power was freakishly terrifying.
They disappeared without a trace after they defeated the Ruling Union.
It was as if they were never there in the first place.
“Fall back! Fall back right now.”
Lee Jong-guk, Jared, and the other top members fled Erudia before they were attacked by Eragon.
They lost!
The Ruling Union’s allied army had lost all battles, and the combined number of survivors from all four Warzones was negligible.
Everyone later received news of how the Ruling Union’s plan to destroy Oakland City had failed.
They failed…
The Ruling Union had failed completely.
They were just an organization of martial artists who had formed an alliance, so the entire Ruling Union fell apart as soon as they lost the war.
The organization that had only lasted for six months faded away in a matter of seconds.
In a way, it was truly heartbreaking.
“We lost in every way possible?”
Bruce couldn’t believe what was being reported.
“Yeah. At the last minute, Erudia suddenly sent out two groups of unknown soldiers. They are simply too strong, and every soldier is a killing machine. Also, they are so mysterious that we still don’t know who they really are.”
Bruce became quiet.
He recalled what the Shield agent warned him about.
He said that if I force the lion to a corner, it will be awakened… Has it finally woken up?
Either way, he failed his mission.
The silver lining was that he managed to get Jared and some weapons back.
Naturally, the weapons in question were the eight upgraded Deicide.
They couldn’t get to the other weapons, so they left them in Erudia…
Jared and the key technicians were all taken to Zarain, and that was the best silver lining there was.
The Dragonites shared the good news with the entire world right away.
“We are happy to announce that the martial artist organization, Ruling Union, has been obliterated, and we won the war.”
“Erudia won!”
The news spread all over Erudia and the world like wildfire.
The streets of Erudia were filled with laughter and cheers, and everyone was celebrating.
The events that were being held were grander than Christmas.
Regaining the life that was once thought to be gone… That was truly an amazing feeling.
A moment ago, Erudia was on the brink of death, and everyone was getting ready for the apocalypse they thought was coming.
However, unknown heroes showed up and led the country to victory!
Erudia was still the undefeatable country it had always been.
Its citizens remained united, and their future was bright.
All of Erudia was basking in glee.
The people residing in the foreign country, on the other hand, were stunned.
Erudia actually won? That is ridiculous!
The nightmare they had dreaded actually happened.
Erudia managed to survive.
The forces in the foreign countries were so disappointed that they could die.
The ones who were most disappointed, naturally, were the people who abandoned their Erudian citizenship and joined another nation.
They spent so much effort to flee the country wanting to have a nice, peaceful life.
Those people had been praying for Erudia’s demise.
Who would’ve thought that Erudia would end up winning the war?
They had already relinquished their citizenship, so they couldn’t go home anymore.
Regret…
Almost everybody regretted making that choice.
They weren’t the only ones who were sad, though. Like them, the Dragonites and the warriors of Erudia weren’t celebrating with the rest of the country.
Those men were searching the Warzone for Levi.
He may be dead, but we should still take him home…
