Adrian stunned everyone with a simple statement.They couldn't comprehend his meaning. Was he claiming to have extensive military experience?The crowd stared at him, unable to grasp the source of his confidence."Mr. Adrian, you are indeed impressive. However, when it comes to warfare, I won't back down. I've been in the military for twenty years, making me a seasoned veteran. In terms of strategy and tactics, I shouldn't be lacking," Tyler Dennis declared, his dissatisfaction clear.Adrian smiled upon hearing this. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He knew gaining the respect of these soldiers and generals wouldn't be easy.To establish his authority among them, he had to make a bold statement. Without it, maintaining control in the long run would be nearly impossible."Sir Tyler, is it? Since you're so confident, how about we have a military competition?" Adrian suggested, his gaze steady as he addressed the general.Tyler was taken aback, momentarily stunned. He hadn't e

The crowd was restless, but Adrian remained calm, glancing at his troops with a faint smile. "There's no need to look so defeated. Just follow my commands, and everything will be fine."Moments later, Adrian began directing his soldiers, while on the opposite side, Tyler swiftly arranged his formation.In a short time, Tyler's troops were organized with precision. By contrast, Adrian's soldiers appeared disorganized and sluggish, as though they had never received proper training.To onlookers, Adrian's troops seemed incapable of withstanding any significant challenge. It was hard to imagine they could hold their ground.Adrian, however, showed no sign of concern, observing his men quietly. "If you remain like this, you'll spend your whole lives as cowards. But if you win this battle, you'll be heroes. So, what will it be—heroes or cowards?"This simple statement ignited a spark of indignation among the troops."Heroes!" they shouted in unison.Satisfied, Adrian nodded. "If you w

King Basil's words stunned Justin. He hadn't expected the king to be so closely attuned to Adrian's actions.Despite the distance of several kilometers, King Basil seemed to perceive Adrian's every move with uncanny precision.The ministers were equally taken aback. None had anticipated that Adrian's maneuvers would cause such an uproar.Some officials, however, scoffed at the notion of Adrian being a legitimate contender.One sneered. "He's just a young upstart. Even if he's strong, the soldiers clearly don't respect him. Let's see what other tricks he thinks he can pull."Their expressions brimmed with disdain, convinced that Adrian's youth rendered him incapable of true leadership. To them, he was merely an inexperienced boy, not a force to be reckoned with.Renee, however, countered icily, "Just watch. Let's see how Mr. Adrian turns the tide. This might bring an unexpected surprise to our great Ciawales."Her cutting words silenced the room.Even Justin, who had been on the

Adrian gazed calmly at the soldiers and then smiled faintly. "No need to change. Maintain this formation, and you'll annihilate everything in your path. Do you trust me?"The soldiers responded in unison, their voices thundering. "We trust you!"To them, Adrian had become almost a figure of faith. The formation he had devised instilled in them an unparalleled sense of strength and invincibility.Its power had shaken them to their core.Adrian demonstrated, with perfect precision, what a true military formation should be.Meanwhile, Tyler adjusted his own formation, and his troops' momentum visibly surged. Yet, when the two sides clashed, his soldiers were suppressed once more.The turn of events stunned Tyler's soldiers. They hadn't expected that even with Tyler's formidable reputation and extensive experience, he would still fall behind Adrian.The soldiers were shaken.Tyler had always been a symbol of strength, a seasoned general whose expertise was unmatched. Yet against Ad

Looking at the crowd before him, Adrian smiled faintly. Undoubtedly, he had finally won over the people before him.This was precisely the outcome Adrian had envisioned. Their acceptance was crucial. Without it, dissatisfaction and lingering doubts would have continued to fester.Across from him, Tyler stood motionless, his gaze averted. Despair weighed on him so heavily that, for a fleeting moment, he considered ending it all right there.Despite years of military service and countless battles, Tyler's abrupt challenge to Adrian had ended in a crushing defeat—one so absolute it bordered on humiliation.Compared to Adrian's strategic brilliance, Tyler felt like an unseasoned recruit, as if he had never even studied the art of warfare. The chasm between them felt insurmountable, as vast as the distance between earth and sky. It left Tyler deeply shaken.Adrian, observing Tyler's demeanor, immediately understood his turmoil.He grinned, approached, and said in a calm, steady voice,

The crowd's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation. They wondered what kind of future Adrian would bring them.Could this young man lead them to victory in the face of the Primeria's ferocity? The outcome remained uncertain."Stand up," Adrian commanded, his voice resonating with authority."Follow me, and my only requirement is simple: absolute obedience. If I command you to die, you must not utter a single word of dissent."Can you do that? If not, stay behind—there's no need to leave the city with me."His words thundered in the ears of every soldier, leaving them stunned. None had expected Adrian to issue such a demand, and the bluntness of his statement shocked them deeply.To be asked to die—this was an extreme demand. And for it to come from a man barely in his twenties made it all the more unbelievable. The soldiers stared at Adrian, their expressions a mix of astonishment and unease.Adrian's demeanor, strict and unyielding, baffled them. Why was he being so s

It was the soldiers' first encounter with someone as iron-willed as Adrian. His presence, filled with a terrifying aura and overwhelming strength, made it abundantly clear that he was no ordinary person. Any thought of opposing Adrian seemed an impossible challenge.At that moment, they were left with only two choices: surrender or submit.Their eyes reflected their helplessness. They knew there was no way to stand against Adrian, leaving them with no option but to compromise and follow him.For them, the choice was inevitable.Watching silently from the sidelines, Tyler was filled with amazement.In his eyes, Adrian's display of authority was highly effective. It helped to weed out those with wavering loyalties within the army.Those who remained would be steadfast individuals, and even if some still harbored doubts, further training would likely solidify their commitment.Among the fifty thousand elite troops, Tyler understood better than anyone the kind of soldiers they were.
Chapter 4687
Although Tyler was brimming with questions about Adrian, he chose to follow him for the time being, sensing the potential for unexpected opportunities ahead.As Adrian led the contingent of officers and soldiers out of Ciawales, countless citizens paused to watch, their eyes wide with shock.They could hardly believe that the young Adrian was at the helm of such a large force."The rumors were true. This young man is really leading thousands of soldiers to rescue the Second Prince. Do you think he'll succeed?" whispered some among the crowd."I doubt it. Primeria's forces are ruthless. The Second Prince commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and even they were completely annihilated.""With Primeria's ambushes, it seems impossible," another added skeptically. "Even though Mr. Adrian is a powerful warrior in the Fusion Stage, rescuing the Second Prince is a fool's errand."Adrian caught wind of these murmurs but paid them no heed. He marched on, his resolve unshaken as he led
