Chapter 447
The Weltaria fleet moved away from Mountain Island, leaving ripples across the sea. Amid the blowing wind, Cassian stepped out from the ship's deck. His body slowly rose and hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on Arlo, who stood at the shore.Everyone had already moved away from the border, including Belen and the imperial soldiers who had stayed at the defense tower. They knew that the battle between Cassian and Arlo would cause massive damage.The Global Peace Coalition limited the use of cultivation techniques in war to keep it humane. Because of this, countries competed to buy or create powerful weapons. However, these restrictions did not apply to personal battles.The duel between Cassian and Arlo could be seen as personal since they are no longer involved in their countries' militaries. All war rules no longer applied to them, meaning they were free to do anything, even kill each other."Our battle is also being broadcast in Weltaria. Don't you mind if my people watch you lose?"
Chapter 446
Hernan's bold statement shocked everyone, especially the soldiers, who knew he had always followed Arlo. They thought he had helped them reach the safe zone to be a spy for the Emperor. But his sincere reaction proved otherwise."Don't misunderstand," Hernan continued. "I don't think Weltaria is good just because I chose the second option. In my view, the Commander is no different from other national leaders. But all my life, I've been controlled by Emperor Arlo and couldn't have my own opinion. That's why I want to choose for myself, just this once."Even though he said that in a firm voice, the dim look in his eyes when he spoke about Arlo showed how oppressed he had been all this time. If he could choose, he would not want to flatter someone to survive, but that's exactly what he had done since he joined the military.He wanted to protect his country. That cost was obeying Arlo, and he had no problem with that until what he protected was in danger. His family had been secured in a

Everything went silent. The only sound left was the distant roar of jet engines. After his long speech, Cassian made the people realize that war hurt ordinary citizens the most. In truth, they already knew that.But with Cassian speaking about it openly, they felt validated because they had been forced to suppress those thoughts all this time. Arlo always emphasized that his people must obey and that everything he did was for them.Negative propaganda about Weltaria had been spread since the war began three years ago. The goal was to raise the nationalism of the Narman people, especially the soldiers. That way, they would not hesitate to attack Weltaria because they believed they were doing the right thing."If I were you, I'd choose the second option," Zeke said to the civilians who had yet to decide. He shrugged and continued, "But I don't have the right to speak here since the Commander asked all of you. Whatever the outcome is, I'll go with the flow because I have no control over
Chapter 444
Although the missile launch order had been canceled, the people of Narman still could not feel at ease because Weltaria's fighter jets were still nearby. Cassian continued to emphasize that he could destroy them at any time."Are you angry because the Commander kept this from you?" Bertolt asked as he easily caught Zeke's punch. But a second later, Zeke's fist was engulfed in flames."Yes, I'm furious because I feel like I was ignored," Zeke replied, snorting as Bertolt released his hand. "But I'm even more upset because you agreed to this plan! Why did we have to involve civilians? We could still win with our superior weapons."Bertolt flapped both arms, creating a gust of wind that extinguished the flames in the air. He looked at Zeke calmly. "If we don't show real fear to Narman's civilians and soldiers, they won't have a reason to turn away from Emperor Arlo.""So the threat to destroy civilians won't actually happen?""Of course not," Bertolt replied, channeling wind from both pa

"I don't think the Commander would do that," Franklin said after a long silence.Inez sighed. "Don't be in denial. The Commander has to be ruthless to win this war. We have to accept the fact that we might die in the process!""You're right about one thing. We need to be ruthless to face this crazy situation. Let's wait here until the Commander finishes his plan!""Are you crazy? We need to leave here quickly and find a safer place. Oh, I forgot. The Commander even targeted the safe zones!"Franklin ignored the doctors, who started babbling about how evil Cassian was for targeting the safe zones. He looked up at the sky, watching the fighter jets still chasing each other. None of them dared to shoot when one jet dived close to the safe zones.The situation became tense because the main targets had changed to civilians. The soldiers of Weltaria were even more restless because they did not want to win in this way. They could not bear to watch the Narman soldiers struggling to break thro
Chapter 442
Arlo furrowed his brow as he heard the beginning of Cassian's speech, which was the opposite of what he expected. The image of the Commander was calm and wise. Hence, Arlo thought Cassian would subtly use persuasive words to manipulate the people of Narman to side with him."What kind of speech is that? It sounds like he's lost his mind," Arlo muttered, shaking his head in disbelief.Belen showed a slight relief. "It seems the Commander believes he will defeat us, so he's announcing it to all of Narman. But I'm sure his new weapon's ammunition supply is limited.""You are absolutely right. Soul Essence requires core crystals to make its energy bullets, and it needs many high-quality cores for that.""That's good news, Your Majesty! We can buy time by placing all our soldiers on the front line. Meanwhile, you can contact countries that are willing to be our allies. Surely, some will join once they learn about Soul Essence!"Arlo nodded in agreement because his thoughts matched Belen's.
