The Legendary Man

Chapter 1208

The generol wos cleorly displeosed with Leslie’s explonotion.

After oll, Leslie’s first oction os commonder wos to deploy the fifty thousond members of ShusonnoArmy’s odditionol troops into Yoleview. She hod commonded them to enter the northeost ond invodeRedlington in whot wos bosicolly o suicide mission.

Even though it hod been o drostic decision, she hod monoged to keep the two hundred thousondmembers of Remdik’s Eostern Allied Army south of River Onxy with only fifty thousond of their owntroops.

The Eostern Allied Army hod ended up getting obout o doy’s worth of time to rush toword thebottlefield, but they hod poid o tremendous price for it.

In just twelve hours’ time, the numbers of Shusonno Army’s bockup troops hod been stricken down tono less thon twenty thousond under the ottock of Remdik’s Glocier Army ond Aizkovos’ Arctic Army,who were both stotioned in Redlington.

The remoining twenty thousond members hod monoged to retreot successfully under Leslie’s originolplon, but onybody who knew even o little bit of militory worfore wos owore thot she hod olreody givenup on them.

There were no bockup troops or ony odditionol resources for the fifty thousond thot hod been deployedto Redlington. Leslie hodn’t plonned for ony other neorby troops to move forword either.

The fifty thousond members of the troops might not hove been mortols, but they still could only beconsidered low-level cultivotors.

There wos no woy they could hove crossed River Onxy ond mode it bock to Chonoeo with thehundreds of thousonds of enemy soldiers on their toil.

There wos only one use for them ot thot point, which wos to die fighting Remdik.

Thot wos the second stoge of Leslie’s plon—to use the remoining twenty thousond members ondcontinue invoding Redlington.

Her gool wos to hold bock Remdik’s troops from coming into River Onxy for os long os possible.

Just like thot, fifty thousond people hod been sent to their deoths, ond it hod only token o couple ofcommonds.

Everyone protested ogoinst such o cold-heorted decision, but Leslie continued on os if she couldn’theor them.

Kronsboy of Doveston might not hove been os populoted os the first-rote seoside cities, but it wos stillconsidered o populor oreo.

Winter proved to be the seoson in which Kronsboy’s tourism peoked. Bock then, every street ond olleywould hove been lit up brightly in preporotion for the tourists thot would hove been pouring in by then.

However, Kronsboy wos now os silent os o ghost town. There were borely ony lights on in ony of thehouses.

The general was clearly displeased with Leslie’s explanation.

After all, Leslie’s first action as commander was to deploy the fifty thousand members of ShusonnaArmy’s additional troops into Yaleview. She had commanded them to enter the northeast and invadeRedlington in what was basically a suicide mission.

Even though it had been a drastic decision, she had managed to keep the two hundred thousandmembers of Remdik’s Eastern Allied Army south of River Onxy with only fifty thousand of their owntroops.

The Eastern Allied Army had ended up getting about a day’s worth of time to rush toward thebattlefield, but they had paid a tremendous price for it.

In just twelve hours’ time, the numbers of Shusonna Army’s backup troops had been stricken down tono less than twenty thousand under the attack of Remdik’s Glacier Army and Aizkovos’ Arctic Army,who were both stationed in Redlington.

The remaining twenty thousand members had managed to retreat successfully under Leslie’s originalplan, but anybody who knew even a little bit of military warfare was aware that she had already givenup on them.

There were no backup troops or any additional resources for the fifty thousand that had been deployedto Redlington. Leslie hadn’t planned for any other nearby troops to move forward either.

The fifty thousand members of the troops might not have been mortals, but they still could only beconsidered low-level cultivators.

There was no way they could have crossed River Onxy and made it back to Chanaea with thehundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers on their tail.

There was only one use for them at that point, which was to die fighting Remdik.

That was the second stage of Leslie’s plan—to use the remaining twenty thousand members andcontinue invading Redlington.

Her goal was to hold back Remdik’s troops from coming into River Onxy for as long as possible.

Just like that, fifty thousand people had been sent to their deaths, and it had only taken a couple ofcommands.

Everyone protested against such a cold-hearted decision, but Leslie continued on as if she couldn’thear them.

Kransbay of Doveston might not have been as populated as the first-rate seaside cities, but it was stillconsidered a popular area.

Winter proved to be the season in which Kransbay’s tourism peaked. Back then, every street and alleywould have been lit up brightly in preparation for the tourists that would have been pouring in by then.

However, Kransbay was now as silent as a ghost town. There were barely any lights on in any of thehouses.

The city was now under complete control of the Eastern Allied Army.

Leslie was leading a discussion with her team in an underground bunker in the northern part ofKransbay. They were currently looking at a 3D model of the city as they discussed battle strategies.

All of a sudden, streaks of blue lightning began to show up against the heavy metal door of the strategyroom.

“Protect the commander!” someone shouted in alarm.

A number of people crowded in front of Leslie and began to shield her as they moved back.

Boom!

The metal door fell to the ground with a resounding crash.

A bare-chested cultivator with electricity crackling across his skin was standing in the middle of thecorridor.

Kane had arrived.

“Kane! Stop right now!” Terrence and Zachary yelled out.

The battle of River Onxy proved to cover a lot of ground. It managed to occupy the border from thenortheast to the northwest of Horbah.

Compared to Remdik, who had plenty of cultivators at their disposal, Asura’s Office proved to be ratherlimited in that aspect— especially in terms of Grandmaster Realm cultivators.

Zachary and the other two cultivators had been sent to the most important location.

After the news of fifty thousand members from Shusonna Army being thrown into Redlington hadspread among those leading the Eastern Allied Army, Kane had already been itching to get revenge onLeslie.

However, since they were in an extremely important stage of the battle they were in, Kane hadmanaged to hold back his rage. He commanded for a whole night before finally handing the troops overto the second commander-in-charge and returning to Kransbay.

Both Terrence and Zachary had been able to predict Kane’s reaction when they heard about ShusonnaArmy.

They had rushed over to Kransbay to stop him the very moment they were done with their respectivejobs. However, they were just a little bit too late.

By the time they reached Kransbay, Kane had already broken the door down.

Terrence and Zachary were rightly terrified. If anything happened to Leslie, the consequences would beintense.

Since she was the commander-in-chief, causing harm to her fell under the same category as treason toone’s country.

“Kane! What do you think you’re doing?” a besuited man who was standing in front of Leslie shoutedloudly. His saber glinted in his hand.

There were many other Superior Realm cultivators right behind him.

While they were all directors from different troops who were aiding Leslie in her plan, they alsohappened to be her guards in case anything happened.

Sadly, Superior Realm cultivators were no match for Kane.

“What’s wrong with you?” Kane snarled as tendrils of electricity sparked across his skin. “How couldyou abandon fifty thousand people just like that? You’re a real piece of work for a commander-in-chief.I’m going to make sure you pay for those fifty thousand people you sacrificed.”

Kane’s words had barely left his mouth when he sped toward Leslie. He was so fast that all they couldsee was a blurry afterimage.

“Stop him!” the besuited young man from before called out. Before he could swing his saber, he wasalready knocked aside.

The other people behind him were struck and flew aside as well.

Leslie simply stood still. As a mortal, she had no way of seeing where Kane was. All she saw wassimply a glowing figure who was rushing toward her at light speed.novelbin

Her hair swayed with the wind caused by his speed as he arrived in front of her. He spread open ahand crackling with electricity in front of Leslie but was thrown back toward the doorway at the verynext second.

Kane crashed into the corridor while Zachary and Terrence landed in front of Leslie.

“It looks like we made it just in time,” Zachary said through gritted teeth as he held onto a magical rope.

Terrence opened his left hand, and a shield the size of his palm appeared. He tossed it gently aboveLeslie’s head, and a shimmering shield that looked like frosted glass surrounded her.

“Are you okay, Commander?”

A bead of sweat traced Terrence’s nose and dripped off his face. Clearly, they had expended all of theirenergy to get here.

They technically shouldn’t have abandoned their posts to go all the way to Kransbay.

However, they were well aware that no one could stop Kane now that both Tiger and Hades wereunconscious. There was simply no one else who could match him when he was that angry.

The Eight Kings of War was a symbol of strength in each of their respective garrisons.

When the fifty thousand supporting troops had been sent to Redlington in their suicide mission, itaffected all of the garrisons.

If Kane still failed to control his anger and fueled the fire, then Shusonna Army might really be introuble.

If that happened, then Kane had to die.
