After hanging up the phone, James sent Jose’s bank account number to Scarlett. Meanwhile, Jose was looking at James. He was jealous of the wealth James possessed. Although he was from Ishkabar, he had heard of the Black Dragon. Businessmen who wished to conduct business in the Southern Plains had to pay a hefty protection fee to the Black Dragon all these years. All this while, the King of Sol turned a blind eye to it. Although Jose was a lieutenant, he was hesitant to act too out of line. If the higher-ups investigated the matter, his military career would be over. James flashed a smile to Jose who was sweating like a sinner in church. “Don’t be nervous. Relax. This is only between you and me. I’ve ordered someone to make the transfer. You’ll receive the money soon. Have some patience.” Jose wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Wh-What do you want me to do?” James replied, “Nothing much. Just bring me into the military region of Southern Plains City safely.” “That’s

James left many of these marks all over the military region. These marks were meant for assassins. Ordinary people would not be able to understand the secret code. James did not know how the others managed to sneak in. However, he did know that everyone had managed to infiltrate the city. That was because they left inconspicuous marks in the corners of the military region. Everything was now in place. All they had to do was to wait until nighttime. The generals of the twenty-eight-nations would soon meet their doom. If James and his assassins failed, however, this would be their final resting place. That was because the armed forces garrisoned here were too powerful. They were against elite troops of at least a hundred-thousand men. To put it simply, the odds were stacked against them. Not only that but a three-million-strong army was also stationed in Southern Plains City. They needed to succeed. Failure would mean death. As James was now the guard of the buildin

This was the Southern Plains City’s military region. This was where the Black Dragon army was garrisoned. James was the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army. Therefore, he knew the geographical landscape and the condition of the equipment here inside out. He knew that the generator would take a minute to activate in the event of a blackout. As such, he only had a minute to assassinate the generals of the twenty-eight-nations. However, it was nearly impossible to barge into the conference room and finish them off in just a minute. In the conference room, Floyd was in a discussion with the generals. All of a sudden, the room turned pitch black. The alarm rang urgently. Although the backup lights were activated almost immediately, the generals still panicked upon hearing the alarm. They grabbed their weapons and watched the entrance intently. Some even found a place to hide. “Don’t panic!” Floyd yelled, “Security is tight here. There’s no way that the Black

James was not convinced that Floyd had actually called the Emperor. However, he knew that even if the receiver of the call was not the Emperor, the real person must have been listening from somewhere else. No voice came from the phone. James continued despite the lack of response. “I don’t care what you’re after. I’ll definitely stop you.” “Beep!” The other party hung up the phone. “You’re not leaving here alive, Black Dragon.” Floyd looked at James and threatened him. “There’s a hundred thousand soldiers stationed outside, not to mention the three-million-strong army garrisoned in Southern Plains City. You made it all the way here, but don’t think you’re getting out of this alive.” “Is that so?” James gave him a smirk. “If I was able to get all the way here, then it stands to reason that there’s definitely a way out too. Oh, and by the way, this was the conference room of the Black Dragon army. I know it like the back of my hand. At the moment, I’ve cut off all connect

Pablo trembled uncontrollably. Then, he staggered and stumbled out of central command. He hastily gave the order to retreat. The allied forces of the twenty-eight-nations withdrew as quickly as they could. At the same time, James called Henry and instructed him to lead the Black Dragon army toward Southern Plains City and garrison it. Overnight, all armed forces of the twenty-eight-nations had retreated. The Black Dragon army retook Southern Plains City. In the wee hours of the morning the next day… James, who was in his Black Dragon robe, was in the conference room of the Southern Plains military region. “Levi, lead the Black Dragon army and screen the perimeter in a four hundred kilometer radius. If you find any remaining enemy forces, shoot on sight.” “Understood.” Levi instantly stood up and gave the order. Since James had given the allied forces of the twenty-eight-nations time to withdraw, he would have no mercy on those who remained. It was now seven in t
