Adrian gestured toward them and asked, "Who sent you here? What's your mission?"The Rondoniers stammered and retreated. Neither of them had expected this to happen when they took on this mission. They wanted to prove how loyal they were with their silence.Mya, an unpleasant woman to have as an enemy, stepped forward and said, "I have all the time in the world to play with you two, so why don't we start with your fingers? Hmm… How about your toes? I’ll let you guys decide." Alas, Rondoniers were spineless cowards. When threatened, they immediately broke down. One of them stammered, "A-Agarov… Agarov sent us.""Agarov?" Mya mumbled the name, then looked toward Adrian. Adrian knew who Agarov was. He was a man notorious for instigating trouble, the spark that set off most of the conflicts in the outlands. Agarov wandered around various places within the outlands, driving in wedges between people to stir up problems, a skill he was excellent at. "Good boy." Mya snickered. Were

"Have they all been captured?" Adrian asked. The preliminary venues were heavily guarded, enabling them to catch even a fly, let alone intruders.Tina nodded. "All six venues have been combed and a total of twenty-five Rondonier spies were caught. How would you like them to be dealt with?"Adrian said without hesitation, "I want them sent to the natural moat. Have them kneel before their nation's live broadcast and execute them. I want them to die as excruciatingly as possible."When the two Rondoniers in the room heard this, they were so shocked that they fainted. Mya and Tina were also shaken by this order.Mya quickly said, "Adrian, we're currently in transition for the new legate to take over. Whoever takes over your role will have to fight a war for offending them so thoroughly. I'm worried they may end up dead before…"Tina added, "She's right, sir. We should execute them discreetly instead. I'm worried the public will be unhappy if we execute them at the moat. The new leg

Adrian remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let's head back to Songton tomorrow. How many more days till the selection begins?""Three.”Adrian took a deep breath.The new legate of Wyvern Peak would be minted soon.***Adrian and Mya returned to Songton early the next morning to observe the situation at all six venues. There were three more days before the selection began, and the candidates' relatives and friends had arrived at the venues to cheer them on.At Rusouth, Samantha, Rue, Adaline, Gloria, and Joanna had finally arrived. The city’s Battle Warrior Department had provided hotels for all the candidates' invitees. As this was their first time in Rusouth, Samantha’s group was busy admiring the beautiful heritage site. Nova, who was in Samantha's arms, sucked on her thumb as she looked at her surroundings."Rusouth is so beautiful. Look at the clothes they're wearing," Samantha said to Nova. Samantha had not traveled out of Swallowston much after marrying Adria

It was Sierra, who had promised Jerome she would be there to cheer him on during the selection.The driver looked at her in surprise. "Are you one of the candidate's relatives?"Sierra smiled and replied honestly, "I promised someone I'd be there to cheer him on when the selection starts."Hearing this, the driver said, "You must like him very much. You wouldn't have put your job on hold and traveled all the way here otherwise. Also, you're going to have to spend a lot of money in this unfamiliar place."Sierra blushed. After a moment, she replied, "He's a huge blockhead that I've had a crush on for a long time now. He just gave me an invitation a little while back.""That means he likes you too," the driver said. "Maybe…" Sierra tidied her hair and said, "He dreams of becoming the next legate of Wyvern Peak so that he can eliminate all of Novemton's threats. He's working to create a world where we can all live peacefully.”"That's a grand ambition.""I know, but I can tell he

The worst part about Northzone was how easy it was for those who were unfamiliar with the place to get lost. When Trent asked for directions, the kind samaritan pointed toward the city center to the west and said, "It's being held in Stalwartville. You can take a cab there. It'll cost forty-five dollars."Stalwartville was a large town chosen to host the selection since it was Novemton's largest transfer station. Trent thanked the man and walked back to his parents. "The selection is being held at Stalwartville. That kind man over there said it'll cost us forty-five dollars to get there by cab." Jamie looked at his map and quickly found Stalwartville. He realized there was quite a distance to cover before they would reach Northzone's main city. Dahlia, who did not know how to read maps, anxiously waited for Jamie to say something. Still looking at the map, Jamie said, "I've found Stalwartville. We should be able to get there before dark if we follow this street.""Why don't w

Whisperbrook got out of his car to verify the documents presented to him. After a moment, he took a step back and saluted the Halls. “I didn't know you were relatives of a candidate. You really shouldn't be walking on the highway. It's not safe."Dahlia replied, "We don’t have enough money for a cab, but we don't want to let our daughter down, so this was our only option. We’re really sorry for causing trouble."Whisperbrook frowned. "You won’t be able to reach Stalwartville even tomorrow morning at this rate. This highway is built around a mountain, you have another hundred kilometers to cover before you get there. Come on, I'll drive you guys there since you're the relatives of a candidate."Dahlia and Jamie were touched by Whisperbrook's offer, with Dahlia saying, "Are you sure, sir?"Whisperbrook smiled. "Hop in. Who knows? You two might end up becoming the next legate's parents. Come, let me drive you there.”Dahlia smiled when she heard this, while Jamie said, "Thank you so

The day passed by very slowly. Like Adrian, all the candidates eagerly waited for the day of the selection to arrive.Adrian was well prepared to welcome the selection. It meant the world to him. He stayed in Songton headquarters’ surveillance room the entire day. Waves of emotions welled up deep inside his heart, reflecting in his mood. It would not be long before the new legate of Wyvern Peak reveals themselves to the world.***That night, Sage sat in her room at Northzone's Stalwartville, waiting for the selection to begin. The other candidates had all gone out to relieve the stress of the upcoming examination, be it to grab a meal or to play. Sage was the only one sitting in her room.At that moment, Garret knocked on her door. "Come in,” she said.Garret entered. "The exam is in two days. The other candidates have gone out to destress. Why didn’t you go with them? You can't be too tense, you know?"Sage smiled wryly and shook her head. "I don't want to go.""Is this be

The candidates were blowing off steam. Some of them gathered in groups to chat, while some went out shopping, or grabbed something nice to eat. They were steeling themselves for tomorrow's exam. Night soon arrived, and the candidates returned to their rooms for a good night's sleep. The stars of the six venues were each doing their own thing. Juno was reading a book, Polaris was meditating, Zack gazed out the window at the horizon, Remy gazed at the moon, Jerome continued to draw his imaginary parents, and Sage was thinking of her own. Late into the night, the candidates slowly fell asleep…***That night, all of the staff throughout the six venues and Songton headquarters pushed on through the night, working overtime in preparation for the exam.Adrian sat in the surveillance room. Mya walked in and asked, "The exam's tomorrow, sir. Do you have any orders before then?"As he twirled a pen between his fingers, he shook his head."All of Novemton is paying close attention to th
