The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 388
Cassian's departure from the military gave Ronin a huge advantage, as he had always been worried about the Commander's popularity. Now, with full control over the military, Ronin finally felt like a true leader. He was so blinded by power that he ignored the possibility of Arlo betraying him.Every time a thought like that crossed his mind, he would always push it away, convinced that he and Arlo had the same enemy. But in truth, Arlo never saw him as a partner. He saw him purely as a servant, just as Elara had said.Ronin's eyes twitched and narrowed as he recalled Elara's insult. He returned to her, not with violence but with suspicion."Wait a minute. Not long ago, you called me Emperor Arlo's slave. Does that mean you know about our secret cooperation?" he asked, hoping for a no.But Elara gave a firm nod. "Phantom Legion has an intelligence division. Why do you think Weltaria has the upper hand in this war with Narman? It's because we planted spies to monitor Emperor Arlo's movem

The opening of the emergency meeting did not give enough motivation for those present to open their eyes fully. Most of them were still yawning, silently complaining that they should have been able to sleep peacefully tonight.Only a few of them seemed serious, including the Minister of Defense, Virgil. He had already sensed something was wrong since Ronin and the Commander never had a good relationship. Slowly but surely, Weltaria would suffer from the decisions of those two influential figures."Mr. President, sorry to interrupt. Is it true that the Narman Empire has declared war?" Virgil asked, still finding it hard to believe that Arlo would break the agreement.Ronin let out a heavy sigh as if he were the most exhausted one in the room. With a wave of his hand, he signaled Jolene to play the recording of the call between Arlo and him."I was reviewing a military training report when I received that call," Ronin lied, making Jolene slightly frown because she knew the President was

Allen responded irritably, "Are you suspecting me now? I was only close to Cassian's parents. He comes from a family of fighters, which is why he's so strong.""What family is he from? I don't know any powerful family named Valor," Waylon interrogated in a demanding tone. He had long been curious about Cassian's background, so he was not going to miss the chance to find out.Everyone wanted to know what made Cassian different from the others. If they learned about his background, they could follow his example and gain as much power as he did."His family used to produce many great fighters, but that doesn't matter anymore because they're no longer around," Allen replied flatly, refusing to reveal any information about the Valorics.Waylon folded his arms, his eyes sharply focused on Allen. "I don't care about your identity as the richest man in the country, Mr. Vanderlyn. The fact is, I fight to protect wealthy people like you, so you should be honest out of respect for me and the oth
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 391
Cassian's absence in this war did not intimidate the President's Faction. They believed they could outmatch their enemies with better weapons. The Narman Empire's economy crashed after surrendering with terms, while Weltaria continued to grow stronger.Financially, Weltaria's military was in a much better position. Humans were powerless when faced with weapons. That's what Ronin's supporters believed until they were shocked by the soldiers' response."I immediately announced the news to everyone at General Headquarters. Most of the soldiers refused to go to the battlefield. Only a few were willing, and we won't win even with good weapons," Stefan answered, trying to hold back his frustration.Ronin slammed the podium again. "What made them brave enough to make that kind of decision? They must fight for the country because it's their duty!""They're tired of the system that keeps changing. During Bertolt's leadership, the military was stagnant and didn't change much. Then, the Commande

Vance and Asher should have been seated at the military table with the others. Both of them had been sidelined from their duties in the West region because the situation there had already been under control. They were supposed to be present at the meeting, especially considering the emergency."Jolene, contact General Vance right now!" Ronin ordered, not suspecting anything. He had been observing Vance ever since Cassian was still in power and believed that Vance was an opportunist.The soldiers who had left to support Cassian were nothing more than active-duty soldiers currently under Ronin's control. Because of this, Ronin was confident that Vance would not turn against him."S-Sir, it seems General Vance has blocked your number," Jolene said nervously.Ronin frowned. "How could he dare do that? He must be drunk somewhere in a bar and hasn't read my message. Try contacting him again!""I sent him a message from my number, and it went through, but your number can't reach him at all…"
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 393
Jolene flinched in shock when Ronin snatched the phone from her roughly. The trace of anger on his face grew more intense. It was understandable, considering the only thing he received after waiting for fifteen minutes was an insult."Do you think just because you're the underground ruler, you have the right to insult me? Your position is not higher than mine. Just wait and see until I destroy you!" he shouted, saliva flying from his mouth."I don't believe you can win the war," Daisy continued, mocking Ronin. "General Vance didn't come to me, but I know about the Narman Empire declaring war. Clearly, you're short on manpower if you're contacting me.""How do you know about that war?""Ghost Network can get information fast, even if it's a few minutes late. I received a report that soldiers from the Narman Empire were seen bringing several people who looked like doctors to the border."Ronin gripped the phone tightly, his strength cracking the screen until it flickered. Even so, the p

The suffocating silence swept across the room following Waylon's blunt statement. Everyone's words got caught in their throats, and no one dared to say a word. The truth was, they had already doubted Ronin's ability to handle the war ever since he started throwing tantrums during the meeting.The one leading the battle should possess a calmness as vast as the ocean amid a storm. How could Ronin, who was so temperamental, stay composed when things did not go according to plan?Whack!Finally, the sound of a slap shattered the silence. Waylon did not move an inch despite Ronin slapping him hard, showing his incredible physical strength.Ronin grew more offended by Waylon's reaction to the slap. Arlo's betrayal had already weighed heavily on him; now, someone from his faction added to his burden."You dare—""Of course, I dare," Waylon interrupted, his gaze growing colder. "I hate the Commander for being too hard on their soldiers. That's why I sided with you instead of him. But now I th

Ronin's arrogance was what brought him to the position he was in now. He looked down on everyone in Weltaria, including Cassian. If he had discarded his pride long ago, Cassian would probably still be in the military now.But Ronin thought too highly of himself, believing he could make Weltaria reach the top under his rule. His arrogance slowly faded when Cassian appeared and shook his power.At that moment, the President realized he had been defeated by someone greater than himself. However, he refused to accept this reality and eventually allied with Arlo. Even after betraying his own country, he still could not defeat Cassian. He would have done so long ago if he could."Are you serious?" Virgil asked in disbelief.Ronin gave a wry smile. "The soldiers won't obey me since I am only respected. They need someone they fear to force them to fight on the battlefield."Everyone fell silent at that answer. They had had Ronin as President for almost five years, so they were familiar with a

The naval officers of the Narman Empire did not have enough time to protect themselves with cultivation techniques. The Weltaria forces fired shot after shot without pause as if they were racing against a deadline."Everyone, fall back! I will set up a protective formation first," Yarik waved his hand toward the ship's corridor. "Those who can hold off the attacks, follow me!"A few officers who had reached high cultivation stages followed Yarik, floating upwards onto the ship. They skillfully avoided each shot, thanks to their abilities, while also retaliating with attacks of their own."The sailors guarding here are stronger than the ones at the previous base," Waylon said while forming a protective formation to deflect the fire attacks from Yarik. "They have good cultivation techniques. It may take us some time to defeat all of them.""Can you hold off the stronger enemies for now? We will eliminate the weaker ones before targeting the strong ones," Stefan asked, continuing to shoo

Arlo suppressed the energy he had gathered in his hand, preparing to strike Saul's neck. He had employed various methods of torture to extract information from the prisoner, and he knew Saul was not lying. The despair and sorrow in Saul's eyes were proof enough that his comrades at the naval base had perished. It must have been agonizing for him to witness such a horrifying event."I need more details," Arlo demanded, waving his hand at the guards holding Neron. "Lieutenant General, do you know anything about this?""I was in the parking lot when Officer Saul approached me and informed me that one of our naval bases was attacked by Weltaria. That's why we tried to reach you. Please forgive us if our manner was improper," Neron explained respectfully, despite Arlo having humiliated him not long ago.The guards lowered their heads, their bodies tensing as Arlo's aura surged wildly. The ground around the Narman Tower trembled. In an instant, the guards' bodies jolted violently. Blood pou

The generals glared at Neron, annoyed that he had ruined the good mood. The live feed displayed that the situation at the Narman border remained calm, while in Weltaria, the Imperial forces had successfully breached the defenses. Neron's words, based solely on his personal assumptions, would not be accepted by Arlo."I apologize for my rudeness, Your Majesty," Neron lowered his head, too afraid to meet Arlo's sharp gaze. "I was just worried because our troops haven't reported anything. Upon further thought, it was just my own concern without any factual basis."Arlo stood up from his chair and walked toward Neron, who sat far from him. The generals held their breath as he passed by them. His domineering aura was suffocating, making it hard for them to breathe."I invited you here for lunch because you're smart for your age, but my judgment was wrong. You're just a foolish young man who doesn't know how to behave," Arlo said, gripping Neron's shoulder so hard that the sound of breaking

A minister in a fine suit fell to the ground as another shot struck near his feet, causing him to piss himself from fear. Panic spread among more of them, and in an instant, more bullets hit the ground they stood on.Without ever having undergone mandatory military service, the officials became easy targets for the Narman soldiers. The bullets continued to fly, accompanied by the loud cheers of the soldiers, who enjoyed the sight with broad smiles."How could Weltaria trust these cowards? Look at them run like ants being stepped on!" a soldier shouted.Fern gritted her teeth in frustration as she watched the officials flee instead of fighting. She forgot her anger towards Allen and started shooting back at the Narman soldiers. "Take this, you jerks! My gun is worth more than yours!""This is the privilege of being rich!" Ira added, shooting at the enemy while laughing loudly.Their firearms, Lockshot, were purchased from an auction in the Argo Republic. Only a few were produced, and t

"Then, I'll give the public some understanding. Please send the new drones as soon as possible, and monitor the other borders well. I'm worried that those officials and rich people might cause trouble over there," Ruth said with a hint of humor.At the other border, the officials and wealthy people who had once supported Ronin were sent to hold back the Narman forces. Elara chuckled as she watched this through drone footage."Don't worry. General Davis is there to handle everything," Elara replied, her eyes flashing with a ruthless gleam.Her intention in sending the officials and wealthy people was not to kill them but to torture them. Davis was at that border to ensure the enemy would not kill them. He also shared Elara's belief that they should go through a traumatic experience as punishment."Be careful there, Colonel. You're one of the most targeted people since you oversee everything. Make sure you always carry a weapon with you," Ruth warned seriously.Elara touched the pocket

Steel Cutthroat has five battleships with equipment that could be very useful. Accepting them to fight on Weltaria's side would bring many benefits. Moreover, most pirates spend most of their time exploring the seas and rarely have loved ones who could make them hesitate to die.Many soldiers still have families, so they tend to think twice before taking risks. That is a normal attitude, showing that they are still human. But courage without burdens, like the one pirates have, can be a hard weapon to match in war."We have cannons, energy firearms, missile launchers, anti-submarine rockets, and modern naval guns," Fenwick continued, sounding like a salesman trying to meet a target.Bertolt raised his hand, signaling for him to stop. "I understand you want to join Weltaria's forces, but I'm not the one who makes decisions here. Let me contact Colonel Elara first to pass it on to the Commander," he responded wisely.Although Bertolt was the second most influential person in the military

Yvan continued to pursue, firing missile after missile, although none hit their target. However, the constant pressure from the air was wearing down the four officers. Their defensive techniques started weakening, and their protective energy, known as the vital shell, was slowly depleting due to exhaustion."Watch out! That missile could be made from the same material as those blue bullets!" Diego shouted, his sharp eyes tracking the missile's direction while maneuvering in the air.A Narman fighter jet appeared shortly after, blocking Captain Yvan from firing at the senior officers. The two jets chased each other, firing AIM-9 Sidewinders and M61 Vulcan cannons in the mountain air. Explosions and bullets flew, destroying rocks and trees, while Yvan made sharp maneuvers to avoid the attacks."Do they think they can just escape like that?" Bertolt hissed, staring at the senior officers who had evaded the aerial assault. "Fire at those four important people and ignore the provocation fr

Diego was jolted in shock, his eyes wide open as he watched Raul fall with his body convulsing. "Medic, check on him now!"The combat medic rushed to save Raul, while Diego slammed his brandy glass down the moment he realized the bullet had entered through that small crack."How could they breach my formation? They'd need high-quality energy ammunition, probably imported from powerful nations like Argon," he muttered in disbelief."A-Admiral!" the military doctor called out in panic. "Captain Raul is dead! His core was destroyed, and that caused fatal damage to his body. The Weltarian shooter used a much stronger energy bullet!""What did you just say, you damned fool?" Diego snapped, grabbing the doctor by the collar and throwing him aside. He crouched to examine Raul's body, and sure enough, his skin had turned bluish, with blood seeping out of his pores.This was not the first time he had seen something like this, so he was not horrified, unlike the paramedics. That condition often

Two amphibious assault ships were seen floating on the sea, supported by gunboats and fast attack craft for fire support in the narrow waters. This task unit was led by Rear Admiral Diego, who had received orders from Arlo to launch an attack on the cities near the border. One of the ships carried two thousand soldiers, which meant four thousand, not including the support troops.Arlo had also sent another fleet behind them because they had difficulty breaking through the various formations that Cassian had set up in other regions. They focused more on destroying the protective formations at the border, as it was the quickest route to reach Weltaria.The formations had been destroyed, and the Narman forces were ready to attack. Diego squinted his eyes when he could not see the soldiers from Weltaria who had been defeated in the previous battle."Try to bring that drone closer to the shore," he ordered the drone operator. When the drone recorded the area, he still could not find the We
