Everyone at the scene was shocked upon hearing Adrian’s remark, especially Crystal. She furrowed her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Adrian, you’re playing with your own life.”It would be extremely easy to level Bloody Rose to the ground, but according to Adrian, there were many innocent members within Bloody Rose. If they were to level that place to the ground, everyone would be killed, and Adrian could not bear to let that happen.“Draco, you don’t have to care about those people’s lives. We’re doing everything we can with the overall situation in mind,” said the first elder to Adrian.Adrian said, “Sir, if this is what you think, it shows that you’re an unqualified leader. We should do no harm to the innocent. We don’t have the right to take their lives. Do as I say and I will bring out those women from Bloody Rose within two hours.”The first elder heaved a sigh upon hearing Adrian’s remark. Adrian had always been very methodical, and he was no exception this time.Adrian
Ivy could not bear to regard the women she used to spend her time with as enemies.Eira said, “They’re forced to work for Bloody Rose and are innocent. If we do this to them, they will be thoroughly disappointed with the world.”Eira and Ivy shared the same feeling and could not bear to let such a thing happen.Adrian said, “We only need a set of ammunition to destroy Bloody Rose but I promised you before that I wouldn’t hurt them. Hence, we’re going to adopt a method of rescue first, and destroy later for the operation.”Upon saying that, he looked toward Ivy and asked, “If we sent you to Bloody Rose, do you have the confidence in instigating the women there to retaliate and join you to fight against Bloody Rose? If they can rise up in rebellion, we’ll be able to take them and flee Bloody Rose. Once we’ve evacuated, Wyvern Peak’s headquarters will bomb the place.”Ivy pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, “I have the confidence in getting our country’s women to join
Upon saying that, Adrian turned around and left. It was to be a very close, intense operation.As Gloria gazed after Adrian’s departing silhouette, she said, “Get ready, everyone. We’ll depart in an hour.”The group returned to the base and packed up their equipment in preparation to head to Bloody Rose an hour later.Bloody Rose was located in the outlands of Navia while Azure Creek’s location was on the moat, so it was not far from Bloody Rose. One could reach there in roughly two hours by helicopter.The group was well-prepared an hour later.Dozens of Bloody Rose-bound helicopters departed Azure Creek’s base and headed to the outlands.***Meanwhile, in Navia Palace, Crystal was sitting in the audience hall waiting for an update. A man walked into the hall and said, “Your Majesty, we have received an update that War Legate Draco’s troop has departed from Azure Creek and is estimated to arrive in Bloody Rose two hours from now.”“Thank you,” Crystal answered, “Get the govern
Meanwhile, Adrian was heading toward Bloody Rose on a helicopter. After receiving Landon’s call, he said, “Duly noted. Thank you for your efforts.”After hanging up the call, he said through the communicator, “Novemton has issued a notification to Bloody Rose, so I now have a proper excuse to attack them. Don’t worry, and allow me to repeat myself. Prioritize your safety before you think about saving others.”“Message received from Ivy’s squad.”“Message received from Eira’s squad.”“Message received from Blaze’s squad.”“Message received from Gloria’s squad.”The replies were received by the communicator one after another.Meanwhile, a voice came through the communicators, heard by Adrian and everyone else’s. “Can you hear me, Legate? This is Gale. I’ve arrived at Wyvern Peak’s outland headquarters. The preparations here have been completed.”“Message received,” said Adrian.“How’s the situation on your side, Legate?” asked Gale.“Heading to Bloody Rose now. We’ll be at the
The upcoming battle was soundlessly brewing.Meanwhile, it was already two in the morning, and the helicopter rushed toward Bloody Rose’s headquarters.***Bloody Rose’s stronghold was built between mountains that were located in a mountainous area in the middle of the outlands. The place had been outfitted with two to three levels of underground training grounds.Bloody Rose had always been known to be as powerful as Black Nergal. A large number of assassins were trained here, rendering services to other organizations and even engaging in wars. The internal structure of its headquarters was so complicated that it was difficult for a person who did not know it well enough to complete the mission. Ivy and the others were the only suitable candidates for the mission.Meanwhile, in the command center of Bloody Rose’s gigantic base, Carlos had just ended the communication with Landon, livid after just hearing Landon’s statement. He let out a grunt and said nonchalantly, “How dare the
At the same time, inside Bloody Rose.Carlos was sitting in the office when he received an emergency communication. “Mr. Carlos, our radar has detected more than twenty helicopters appearing on the west side about a thousand meters away. We don’t know who the incomers are.”“What?” Carlos furrowed his eyebrows. “Could it be people from Novemton? Dispatch my order at once. Send out a thousand killers to investigate the situation and report to me the findings immediately!” he shouted.Upon saying that, Carlos walked toward the command center in a rush.***In the forest, Mya asked while she was lying with her chest on the ground, “Can we begin, Legate?”Adrian held the binoculars and shook his head. “Stand down for the time being. Bloody Rose has already noticed our presence so Carlos will most certainly send out his subordinates to investigate. We’ll take action then.”“Yes, sir,” answered the group.Adrian said, “Gale, can you pinpoint the accurate location of Bloody Rose’s com
Everyone was on high alert, staring straight at Bloody Rose’s hall.They could instantly level Bloody Rose to the ground if they adopted extreme measures to attack the place. However, Adrian refused to sacrifice those innocent women who were coerced to join Bloody Rose. Hence, the operation was a rescue operation.It was a mission to acquire bertrandium with its premise being a rescue operation.***“Ten!”“Nine!”“Eight!”“Seven!”Everyone was lying on their chests behind the rocks in the forest when they heard the countdown from their communicator.On the other side, Gale raised his right hand high in the air. “Everyone is ready, Legate. We’re locking onto Bloody Rose’s hub now. The battle is about to begin.”“Stay on high alert.”“The preparations are complete.”Convincing voices were heard coming from the communicators constantly. Everyone held their breath and waited for the countdown to end.At this very moment, Carlos was watching the computer screen before him with
“Seven!”“Run! Run now! Get out of here!” roared Carlos.“Five!”“Oh no… Oh no…” Carlos was stunned to the spot.The command center was in chaos. Everyone stood up as they screamed and scurried in a panic.“It’s too late!”“It’s too late!”Someone roared. Carlos’ mouth was agape and his expression was filled with fear. He roared, “How is this happening? No! I was wrong! I was wrong! Beg Wyvern Peak to stop at once. We’ll withdraw our troops from Serpent’s Haven—”Boom!A violent explosion was heard as flares burst into the sky, lighting up the surrounding area. Bloody Rose’s hub was drowned in a sea of fire following the series of explosion noises. All the bodies were torn into shreds by the violent impact.“Go!”At the same time, Adrian stood up and roared following the explosion of Bloody Rose’s hub.“Sisters…”“Go!”Dressed in her military outfit, Ivy took the lead by somersaulting across the ground and running straight toward Bloody Rose. Eira, Jenine, Nyssa, Icelyn
