Chapter 119 Return And Leave (Part 1)
At half past six in the evening, the sky in the Dragon Kingdom gradually darkened and it was about to enter the night. At this moment, deep in the continuous mountains in the middle of the Dragon Kingdom, a valley was filled with billowing smoke and was totally a mess with broken walls and ruins everywhere. This was the base camp of a hidden power which refused to accept the leadership of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom. By now it had been uprooted. The Military Headquarters of Dragon Kingdom also suffered great loss in this battle, seven Gods of War were killed and three Super Gods were seriously injured.
Carl Addison, exhausted and pale from severe fatigue, leaned on a long sword and sat down on a large stone. He looked at the scene in the valley below and let out a deep breath. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, finally the Military Headquarters claimed victory again under his leadership. Rendon Scott sat down too. A dignified look on his face, Rendon was also weak and was gasping for air.
Then Rendon let out a long sigh and said to Carl, "Marshal, the war here is over, but we Military Headquarters also suffered a great loss. If things like this happen over and over again, what we've achieved in the past years will run out soon..."
There was also a deep worry in Carl's eyes. He answered, "Well, we have to take it step by step. Seeing the Dragon Kingdom is prosperous with a promising future, those who were hiding in the dark want to come out and get a piece of the pie. These kinds of things will still happen more and more frequently in the future..."
Rendon's face became more worried and he couldn't help but said to Carl, "Marshal, if anyone jumps out again, we should use thermal weapon. Otherwise, we will lose all of the old brothers in the Military Headquarter if things continue like this. It's not worth it just because of a load of rubbish..."
Carl fell silent. "Thermal Weapon", these two words were extremely terrifying. Certainly, thermal weapon had greatly surpassed the power of cold weapon in many aspects these days. Once the thermal weapon was applied, it would cause a thorough damage to the whole area, including all the hidden forces, no matter how deep they hid. But one of the biggest drawbacks of thermal weapon was that the place where thermal weapon attacked would turn into a dead zone, which would last hundreds or thousands of years and no life could ever enter again! Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Carl and the other top elders of the Dragon Kingdom surely would not allow the use of thermal weapon. But what Rendon said was right. What if things kept going on like this and the Military Headquarters of Dragon Kingdom was really wiped out?
That's why Carl became silent. After being silent for a long time, Carl raised his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later and take it slowly step by step. Also, there were restrictions on the use of thermal weapon. Many people became very afraid of thermal weapon since the last explosion in the East Sea. They wouldn't allow it happen and stay in terror if we really use thermal weapon. On the contrary, they probably will stand out to destroy all forces who have control over thermal weapon, what then? Rendon, don't mention this again in the future. There are rules for many things, and we... can't break the rules!" (As for "thermal weapon" mentioned here, everyone should be able to understand what kind of weapons it refers to.)
Rendon said with a very gloomy face, "Huh, rules? Fuck the rules! Those people didn't appear when the Dragon Kingdom was in adversity, but now that we have finally made Dragon Kingdom prosperous after we paid countless prices, they wanted to come out and get a piece of the cake? Huh, how can there be such an easy thing in this world? No way!" Rendon was extremely angry.
Carl shook his head and didn't continue any more. Instead, he asked for a cigarette from the soldier who was smoking beside him and started smoking. He smoked deeply, one puff after another. He was tired, exhausted and very much worn-out, but he couldn't show it in the front of the soldiers under his command.
After he finished one cigarette, Carl lit three more and smoked them together. Then he suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said to Rendon, "By the way, Rendon, didn't you say that the kid called you for help in the early morning on the day before yesterday? He said that something had happened in Cleveque City and asked you to send two executives of Super God over, now go check if there's any news from Cleveque City..."
When Carl said this, Rendon was also stunned. His face changed greatly because he had really forgot about the things in Cleveque City. He instantly took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact with Max White. But just when he was about to call Max, he suddenly stood up and the newly-lit cigarette in his mouth fell down to the ground.
"How...how is this possible? How is it possible?" The next moment, Rendon looked at the messages sent from the head office of the Military Headquarters on his mobile phone and murmured in disbelief.
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Or is that girl from the the Bass family dead? After all, Military Headquarter failed to keep her safe...Err..." Carl felt even more exhausted. He had gathered almost all the best forces of the Military Headquarters here, which gave those enemies in the External Regions a chance to take the advantage and they had gone to Cleveque City. He felt powerless too. Although Iwan Cliff was in Cleveque City, he would only guard his own wife and daughter, which was reasonable. Besides, Iwan was not familiar with Hannah Bass and there was no relationship between them...
But when Carl was still thinking decadently, Rendon shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that. The situation in Cleveque City is far beyond our imagination. The enemy sent Killer Group II and two half-emperor-level powerhouses to Cleveque City, but they were all destroyed. The master of the Heaven Domain recruited two Super Gods from the External Regions, Master Kill and Master Slay. And then he went there in person and destroyed all the enemies..."
"What?" Carl's eyes widened.
Rendon looked at Carl and his eyes became more complicated. Then he added, "And it's more than that. The kid directly went to the External Battlefield yesterday and slaughtered 88 strongholds of the External Alliance over a night. The battlefield turned into a sea of skulls and blood when the war was over. And there was an advanced Emperor level from the External Regions who was severely injured and chased by him for a day and a night. Marshal, after a fight like this, I think those forces in the External Regions will not dare to enter the Dragon Kingdom to assassinate Hannah Bass any more in a short period..."
Even though he himself was the real powerhouse of emperor level, Carl was shocked for a long while and couldn't recover from the surprise after he heard the news from Rendon. Of course, he had the capability to do these things, but he couldn't. He had rules to follow. However, Iwan Cliff was the only one who had both the ability and the choice to do it, because technically speaking, Iwan did not belong to the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom! As for the identity of being the God of War in the External Regions was only a temporary arrangement Rendon made for Iwan so that he could explain to his wife. But it was not officially registered at all and it remained only a verbal arrangement...
After a very long time, Carl sighed deeply and said, "That kid did what I always wanted to but didn't dare to do. Now he no longer owes us anything, but we owe him again, we owe him a lot..." At this moment, Carl, the respected fourth elder of the Dragon Kingdom, looked extremely complicated in his eyes.
"Iwan has always been a young man who values love and righteousness from the beginning to the end. He loves the Dragon Kingdom very much, but there was basically no good memories in his previous life in the Dragon Kingdom. And five years ago, the people of the Cliff family even forced him to escape from the Dragon Kingdom and go to the External Battlefield..." Carl thought to himself.
Rendon took a deep breath and nodded, his eyes were more complicated. Then he said to Carl, "Marshal, there's more news. Unexpectedly, that kid met his grandfather Evan Cliff in the External Battlefield this time..."
Carl's heart jumped. He turned to look at Rendon again and asked, "Did they recognize each other?"
Rendon shook his head bitterly and said, "No, how is that possible! The kid was very young when Elder Cliff left the Cliff family and couldn't remember the look of the Elder Cliff at all. And the elder Cliff didn't recognize the kid neither. When the two of them met this time, it happened to be at the desperate moment when the Elder Cliff's men were besieged by the Killer Group VII. But oddly, the kid somehow felt that the Elder Cliff looked familiar, so he helped kill the whole Killer Group VII and rescued the elder Cliff from desperation. After that, Iwan continued to chase after Sullivan. So the two of them didn't speak to each other during the whole process..."
