"That's right! They say those who don't wish to become generals aren't decent soldiers, which is why my sister and I have been studying and training hard. We wish to surpass our limits when we take the test in two years.""I know you'll succeed in the test," Adrian said."Thank you!" Celene smiled. She then suddenly asked, "By the way, sir. The elders had agreed for you to carry on with your role, so why did you insist on retiring? Everyone's quite anxious now that Wyvern Peak doesn’t have a legate in charge."Adrian smiled and replied, "Take a guess."Celene chewed on her lip. "My guess is that you're trying to make use of this vacancy to attract everyone into being more passionate about taking up the role, causing them to work even harder, perhaps their best when the test arrives. You're doing this so that more outstanding talents will show up to the test, correct?""Looks like I really am too old to continue being in this position. You juniors have unknowingly surpassed me alre

As Adrian continued to sit there, Lincoln showed up shortly after. Adrian could guess who it was after hearing the sound of the footsteps behind him."You're no longer as young as you used to be, so are you sure you wish to spend the rest of your life this way?" he asked without even turning his head.There had been numerous veterans who have met unhappy endings throughout their life in Wyvern Peak, and there were many who were like Lincoln. Some of them chose to retire from the battlefield because of how much they missed their brothers. Some of them even lost their minds because of it. There are also some whose bodies crumbled from exhaustion after surpassing their limits when they were young. As a result, they were riddled with illnesses all over.Such was going to be Adrian's outcome when he got older. It was an inevitable shackle.Lincoln stood behind Adrian, dressed in his battle suit. It was an older version Wyvern Peak used to distribute, and Lincoln's had many stitch marks

Aside from their difference in personalities, Mya did resemble Gloria in many ways. Even their personalities were similar sometimes. Gloria was a woman who would bravely do or say whatever she wanted, completely fearless of the world. Even if God were to show up and challenge her, she would bravely accept it.It was exactly this personality of hers that stopped her from being able to drop her dignity and retreat from the island."Let's get on the boat."Adrian said nothing in retaliation, silently accepting the fact Mya would not leave him no matter what he said. Mya finally smiled and got on the boat with Lincoln.Behind them, Jackie yelled, "Salute!!!"With a thunderous "swoosh," the Wyvern Peak soldiers saluted the NS Trinaga.After Adrian got onto the boat, Jackie said, "The NS Trinaga is capable of diving underwater, so you can use it to retreat if the situation gets dire. It also has weapons built into it. I've asked someone to set the boat on autopilot to Isle 416. You may

Time passed quickly.A few days passed. Adrian, Mya, and Lincoln had already spent three full days out on the Sant Sea. NS Trinaga cruised forward in the direction of its destination. Sea conditions constantly changed in the past three days and the ship had encountered some small storms but thankfully, the waves died down after the storm.Mya stood on the deck and looked out into the sea in the distance. She turned her head and said to Adrian, “There’s still an hour to go. We’ll be leaving our waters soon and arriving at the international waters. I hope everything will be fine!”Isle 416 was located at the edge of the Sant Sea and it would require at least a week’s time to get there. The third leg of the trip would be the most dangerous. One would need to face more than just the weather upon arriving in international waters.“Doing okay there, Link?” Adrian turned his head to look toward Lincoln.Lincoln was old, his back bent and needed a cane to prop himself up. Upon hearing Adr

Adrian stood on the deck and looked ahead. Then, he leaped into the sea.One of the large ships was brightly lit. It was at the backmost position and it was the command center of the enemies. These ships were carrying Black Nergal’s banner, instantly revealing them as Black Nergal’s members.Meanwhile, a wild party was taking place in the atrium of the cabin of this backmost ship. A group of men and women were dancing with abandon and the music was deafening. A middle-aged man in furs was lounging on a leather sofa, accompanied by a young woman on each side while holding a glass that was filled with wine.At this very moment, a person walked into the cabin and said, “Commander Shadow, we have surrounded the other party’s ship. We checked the ship briefly and noticed that there weren’t many people on board.”The man wearing furs used the moniker “Shadow” and was one of Black Nergal’s naval leaders. An hour ago, they noticed the presence of a ship in their surrounding area and Shadow

Shadow never expected the opposing party to have already boarded his ship, exuding murderous intent, while he was still planning on his first move. Even when his subordinates aimed their weapons at him, the Navien war legate did not seem to panic in the slightest bit.On the contrary, he took a step forward and exuded a murderous intent so strong that one could feel it wherever they stood. A number of women in the atrium screamed and fled.Shadow was glued to his sofa, large droplets of sweat dripping from his face. No one in the past had the courage to provoke him in these waters, so much so that he felt like he was unparalleled in this world. However, a feeling of uneasiness and panic began to creep into his heart the very moment Adrian walked in.“Dra…Draco, what brought you here? Black Nergal harbors no enmity against you, So why are you…” Shadow grew restless and constantly beckoned his subordinates with his eyes in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on Adrian.Adrian stop

The corner of Adrian’s lips suddenly curled into a cold sneer. In the next moment, a loud bang was heard. Adrian pierced through the floor deck with his foot as if he had channeled a load of force into his leg.Rumble!The ship swayed violently and a gush of seawater surged into the ship. The whole ship shook left and right violently until everyone on board lost their footing and fell to the ground.Water surged into the atrium. Shadow was astounded, never expecting something like this to happen, all his men toppling over from the swaying of the ship and the sudden surging of seawater. The scene was thrown into chaos.“Shoot him dead!” roared Shadow.Bang, bang, bang!The sound of gunshots rang out but these people were utterly incapable of standing steady. The ship thrashed violently and many of the bullets hit Shadow’s own people.Splat! Splat!The sound of bullets penetrating people’s bodies was heard constantly as people collapsed to the ground one by one.Shadow panicked

The ships around them had undergone a series of quakes while they were speaking. Water gushed into these ships and they sank one after another. All the boats sunk beneath the waves, coupled with sounds of panicked, fearful, agonizing screams.After a series of disturbances on the surface, the sea finally returned to its calm state. Mya and Lincoln were relieved upon witnessing the scene before their eyes. Before the enemies could even approach, Adrian had already dealt with them.It did not take long before Adrian swam back to NS Trinaga from a distance.“Are you all right?” Mya hastily brought over a towel and quickly dried Adrian’s drenched hair as soon as he boarded the ship.“I’m fine,” said Adrian.“Your clothes are drenched. Let’s get you changed,” Mya urged.Adrian nodded and walked into the cabin. Mya heaved a sigh of relief and looked out at the sea that stretched as far as the eyes could see. The sea had already returned to its calm state.***The next day, the sun
