Ignoring the news, Adrian took Samantha to Swallowston Hospital.Samantha received all sorts of prenatal tests.Adrian kept Samantha company through each of the tests. But even though he kept her company, she did not feel joy because she knew that he was heartbroken despite not mentioning anything.Samantha did not expose him either.In the doctor’s office, the female doctor read Samantha’s test results and said, “Samantha, right? You’re doing rather well. Now’s the time for the baby to grow so you should rest more and set your mind at ease for the delivery.”Samantha cracked a sincere smile upon hearing that and turned her head to look at Adrian.Adrian expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, doctor.”The female doctor smiled in response.Samantha and Adrian left the hospital as they read through the test results.Samantha said, “Our baby will be born in a few more months. I look forward to the baby’s arrival and wonder what they will look like.”Adrian smiled at Samantha and s

Adrian’s plate dropped and shattered on the floor when he heard Ivy’s words.Samantha was stunned as well.Both of them had just left Hedgeville a few days ago, and the villagers there had begged for him to come out of retirement. Yet today, they were killed?“Why is this happening?” Samantha said in a daze.“That’s not all. The eastern border, western border, Southzone, Northzone, and other locations of the moat are under attack. In fact, the outlander’s organizations such as Black Nergal, Luciferism, Bloody Rose, and others have joined hands to take us out,” said Ivy.“There are wars everywhere, and the people are in fear. Internal Affairs’ Chase is furious and the monarch has also dispatched numerous orders to intercept the enemies. However, it seems that the Prefect Sentries won’t be able to hold out for much longer,” Ivy continued.Adrian got another plate and continued to eat.The few women were watching Adrian’s reaction.Eira said, “Two hundred thousand Prefect Sentries

Upon saying that, Joanna pursed her lips and shook her head in frustration.Even though she felt that Adrian’s effort was unworthy, she felt that everyone had to pay a price for everything.Joanna added by saying, “You’re no god, of course. You can’t create miracles. Hence, you don’t need to bother too much. There’s a price to everything in this world. One will never accomplish anything without paying a price.“However, the price that those people have to pay for the current situation is a little high.”Joanna would always defend her point to the end. However, she knew better than anyone else in her heart.She stuck her hands into her jacket pockets and stood in the observatory with Adrian for a long time.All of a sudden, snowflakes floated down from the sky. One could see that it was snowing just by raising one’s head.Joanna stretched out her hand and caught a speck. The snow quickly melted on her hand as she said, “We’re warm, and the snow melts when it comes into contact wi

Upon hearing these words, Chase said, “Are the Prefect Sentries incapable of dealing with a bunch of ruffians and thugs? Dispatch my order. Have the Prefect Sentries from all locations head to the battlefield for support immediately.“Send out the capable Prefect Sentries to protect our moat at all costs.”The crowd exchanged glances with each other upon hearing Chase’s orders.Someone asked, “We’ll need to come up with a strategy, right? If we don’t have a plan, we won’t win no matter how many people we send in.”“That’s right, Mr. Chase. Do you have a good plan to save the country from its difficult situation?”The crowd trusted and followed Chase’s order. However, they knew it was utterly useless to send in people without a plan no matter how much they trusted him.Chase fell into deep thought. He then said, “Organizations like Black Nergal, Luciferism, and Bloody Rose are incapable of threatening us. It’s only a matter of time before we win the battle. We just need to send in

Windton—the city where Chase’s ten houses were located—appeared to be in chaos.The people were dashing about on the streets and cars congested the roads.Honk, honk, honk!The sound of car horns was heard continuously.“I heard that Hangton is about to be invaded soon. They’re less than five hundred miles away from Windton. Pack your things now. We’re going to Southrive to take refuge!”“Reach out to all our families. We have to leave Windton within two days!”“We can’t just do nothing and await our doom here. Let's take refuge in Southrive!”Many sentiments like these were heard throughout Windton. This city was very near to the outlands. If the outlands invaded the city, it would be razed to the ground.No one cared about the ten houses, Internal Affairs, or Wyvern Peak at this very moment. All they cared about was their lives.They wanted to live!***“Chaos. It’s chaos. Every part of Windton is in chaos!”In the Cook family home, Elaine stood on the balcony and gazed a

Elaine pursed her little lips. “Can’t the legate leave retirement of his accord? If it’s all over for us, he’ll most certainly be doomed as well, right?”Alan frowned and said, “You know nothing. Even when it’s over for us, it’s not over for him. By then, he’ll take all the members of Wyvern Peak to Wyvern Hall with him and no one will be able to touch him.”Elaine was scared out of her wits.“All right. Go, now,” Alan urged her.Upon saying that, Alan dashed downstairs.Elaine did not have the courage to linger and hurriedly left. She headed to Swallowston to find Adrian.***Two days later, the major media stations reported news about Internal Affairs losing four more locations and that the outlanders had advanced further by a few ten miles. They had occupied a number of towns.The Internet boiled over in panic when the news came out. Everyone was terrified and shaking in fear. There were already many people bawling loudly.This morning, there were very few people on the str

Adrian and Samantha left under Elaine’s watchful eyes.War Legate Draco was already idling away his time without any intention of protecting his homeland.Elaine could not help being stunned. ‘Is it all over?’Chase was incapable of carrying the burden of protecting the country. If not War Legate Draco, who else was capable of protecting all this?Elaine began to question her conscience.Whose fault was it that this was all happening?***Adrian and Samantha headed back to One Jewel Road.Adrian did not say a word on their way home. On the other hand, Samantha stretched out her hand to turn on the radio and listened to the breaking news of Novemtom.The radio stations were constantly reporting about the invasion of the moat, the loss of Prefect Sentries, and how many people had died.A large number of people were crying on the streets.“Are you really not going to do anything?” Samantha turned her head and looked at Adrian as she listened to the journalist reporting the war

Could a tree grow strong and sturdy without its roots?Everyone was stunned.Everyone was astounded.A few months ago, the online community was scolding War Legate Draco, and countless people had called for him to leave Wyvern Peak.A few months later, the natural moat was invaded after War Legate Draco vanished without a trace.Everyone remembered War Legate Draco and begged for his return to save them.When these reactions were set off, everyone felt extremely embarrassed and regretful. Those people who used to publicly criticize Draco and tried to get rid of him were remorseful. It was because their families, wives, and children would not have died if Draco was still around.“Aaah!”Some people began to go hysterical.One could hear voices calling out to War Legate Draco throughout the streets. A chain reaction was set off, with more people joining in and calling out endlessly on the streets.They were crying and calling out.“War Legate Draco!”“Where’s the legate?”“C
