Chapter 1573
5 a.m.The sun had just risen in the east, and reveille blared in Dorodo's city defense army base.3,000 city defense soldiers stood on the field, neatly dressed. They began running in a neat line on the field at the word of command.The team of 3,000 men ran orderly. Most importantly, they ran for a full hour.A five-kilometer jog for an hour was Dorodo's city defense army daily routine.They had to jog five kilometers every day, regardless of weather, rain, or snow. Besides that, no one was allowed to take the day off.Not only regular soldiers must run, but also officers of all ranks.The three chiliarchs were running on the field with their respective troops.Wesley was the one at the front.The two younger men at the back were the other chiliarchs—Anthony and Gregory.Wesley was 55 years old, Anthony was 35, and Gregory was only 32.Neither Anthony nor Gregory was married, let alone had kids. Only Wesley married and had a family in Dorodo. He also enlisted his only son,

Anthony said with a smile.Gregory did not say much but was clearly on Anthony's side.Wesley looked at the two and said, "Don't you have any complaints? The three of us had a chance to be the commander-in-chief, but Commander Lupin sent an outsider to be commander-in-chief out of the blue. Even that I can accept. I accept orders from our higher-ups. But how can I stand it when that person is a punk in his 20s?"Wesley said and snorted angrily. You could tell that he was furious."Forget about it for now. Let's hurry over. He might be waiting for us."Gregory reminded.The commander-in-chief's office in the city defense army base.Zander stood aside solemnly while Sean sat in the commander-in-chief's chair, flipping through the papers in front of him.These documents were about the city defense army's affairs over the last six months.Sean read quickly. He had an idea of the city defense army's situation.Just then, there were loud footsteps outside. They could tell it was We

Now that the morning training was over, some soldiers went to the canteen to eat, while others went back to their dormitories to wash up.However, more city defense soldiers gathered at the headquarters building.It was because many of them had heard about the sudden appointment of a young commander-in-chief.Besides that, the chiliarchs were currently in the commander-in-chief's office, arguing with the young commander-in-chief, who appeared out of the blue!"Hey, do you think the three chiliarchs are a match for the young commander-in-chief?"A square-faced city defense soldier said, looking excited.Another slightly younger city defense soldier immediately said, "Who knows? But a commander-in-chief is still a commander-in-chief after all. The three chiliarchs combined still have a lower rank than him. Could they intimidate him?""But this guy was appointed all of a sudden after all. He's not promoted step by step. I don't think he could do anything if the chiliarchs were to w

However, if so many city defense soldiers did not accept Sean as the commander-in-chief, he could use it to his advantage!Sean and Zander understood Wesley's intentions.Anthony and Gregory read his mind too.The atmosphere in the commander-in-chief's office was tense at the moment."What if I refuse?"Sean asked with a smile.Wesley snorted coldly and said, "I'd like to see you subdue so many city defense soldiers! Come down with me now if you have the balls!"Wesley was only talking tough. He did not think Sean would agree to such an insulting request.Unexpectedly, Sean agreed immediately."Okay, let's go downstairs and spar. I'd like to see what you're capable of!"With that said, Sean strode out the office door.Instead, Wesley, who made the request, froze in place. He did not recompose himself for a long time."You're still here? You're not afraid, are you?"Sean looked out the door at Wesley, who was still standing in his office, and said flatly."I'm afraid? I do

Gregory stepped back and gave the floor to Sean and Wesley.After all, the two would be putting on a show for them!Sean turned to Wesley and calmly asked, "Commander Jokerman, how do you want to challenge me?""You can choose, lest you deny it when you lose! Archery, swordsmanship, strength, and close combat. Take your pick!"Wesley spoke generously. Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint murderous aura came from him.He had put up with Wesley many times, but Wesley repeatedly disrespected him. He even spoke rudely. He was basically treading over him!It seemed he had to be taught an unforgettable lesson so that he knew there would always be someone better! "Okay, archery then. But since it's a challenge, there has to be a prize."Sean took two steps forward and said slowly.Wesley knew the highlight was here when he heard the word "prize".He was forcing Sean to agree by challenging him to pay some price for his failure.Therefore, he went on. "We do need a prize.

He was exhilarated.It was because he could not rebel against Sean in his capacity as a chiliarch.However, thanks to so many city defense soldiers emboldening him today, Sean had no choice but to go downstairs and compete with him. It was a great opportunity for him.If he could take this opportunity to defeat Sean, Sean would have to resign and make him commander-in-chief as promised!Wesley's heart instantly gushed with ecstasy at the thought of his impending success.Sean was calm.His expression and eyes were calm. There was not a single emotion in them. It was almost as if nothing in the world could make him angry.It was Sean in battle mode.People might unleash a force far greater than usual when they were angry.However, archery was not a contest of strength but skill.Therefore, a calm mind was more appropriate than an angry outburst."Don't try to irritate me, Wesley. I'm young, more than 30 years younger than you. But I've experienced more in 20 years than you ha

Though Wesley said so, he had no intention of giving Sean a chance to back out.Before he had finished speaking, he had taken up his third and last arrow.He drew the bow, set the arrow, and aimed.Wesley did it smoothly and quickly.As soon as he loosened the fingers, the bowstring shook as the arrow shot out. The black arrow shot like lightning toward the circular target 100 meters away.Boom!The ninth ring!The ninth ring again!Although it was not a perfect tenth ring, hitting the ninth ring was also pretty good."Commander Jokerman's third arrow hit the ninth ring. His total score is 28!"Gregory announced loudly.Putting down his longbow, Wesley snorted coldly and stepped aside.It was Sean's turn to shoot."Punk, you exaggerate your abilities. I've given you many chances, but you refuse to give up. Will you only regret it after getting into trouble?"Wesley said bitterly.Zander nearby was furious and wanted to lash out instantly, but Sean shook his head at him.

No way. No way. He could not possibly pull off such a miraculous stunt, could he?Anthony and Gregory glanced at each other, and they saw intense wonder in each other's eyes."Watch, this is Commander Lennon's archery. It's a spectacular feat you'll never emulate!"Zander said suddenly.Sean suddenly loosened his fingers once Zander finished speaking.The black arrows shot like lightning and disappeared in front of everyone with a swoosh.Almost as soon as the first arrow hit the circular target, the second arrow left the bowstring and shot out again!The third arrow was faster. The third arrow flew out before the second had even hit the circular target, following closely behind.The first arrow hit the tenth ring!The second arrow hit the first, splitting it in half and nailing it deep into the red center ring.Still the tenth ring!The third arrow hit the second arrow, splitting the second arrow in half, piercing the 10-centimeter thick wooden circular target!It hit the
