Chapter 445
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.
Chapter 441
Belen lowered her head, aware that defeat was coming soon. Even Hernan, who usually encouraged the soldiers, now looked tired and had lost his spirit. His usually loud voice now trembled with a despair that was hard to hide. The Narman troops were becoming more passive, their movements slowing down, and their hearts closed off by fear.At the Weltaria Logistics Command Center, General Vance scratched his head with a pen as he read the reports. He quickly contacted Elara to give her the latest update. "Colonel, many Soul Essence bullets are being carried by the naval fleets and the troops guarding the safe zones. If we don't conserve them, we will run out of ammunition supplies soon!""I don't think we will need those supplies," Elara said, staring at the transmission screen that showed the areas already being taken over by the forces led by Bertolt."Are you sure? What if our plan doesn't go as expected?" Vance asked skeptically, causing Asher to nod behind him. All the soldiers invol

Weltaria's troops fell one by one. The cultivators fought desperately to restore the formation array that had been disrupted. The sea suddenly turned silent. Only the sounds of gunfire and the lingering scent of poison remained in the air.Arlo laughed in satisfaction at the scene before him. His eyes scanned the enemy bodies lying motionless."What are you going to do now, boy?" he muttered as he saw Cassian finally move.Cassian whispered to an officer to send a message through the communication control. Then he returned to his position on the deck, a smile carved on his face, completely unfitting for the current situation."Why is the Commander smiling?" General Belen frowned in confusion. "I'm sure he has a plan to handle this! We can't underestimate him."Karlos scoffed. "It might just be a bluff. He only returned to lead the military recently. Do you think he had enough time to prepare everything? He could only do that if he had a spy feeding him information far in advance."Rig
Chapter 439
Kellan realized his life was over when the Narman soldiers attacked Ronin's secret lab. That meant Arlo had betrayed the President, which would throw the country into chaos and put Cassian in favor. Rather than dying in vain, he thought of doing one final good deed to remind himself that he was still human.Now he admitted that he had probably developed an emotional state for the doctors, especially Franklin and Sharon. They had treated him kindly. He had even intentionally delayed Ronin's orders so that they could live a little longer."I'm glad the enemy attacked our lab because it ended up saving you indirectly. Emperor Arlo trusts me since I was once part of Ronin. I'll lie to him and say you're out gathering ingredients for the poison," Kellan explained again.Franklin let out a long sigh. "Even though it's late, I'm glad I met you. I wish we could've met under different circumstances. But here we are.""It's fine. We should focus now. Go before the guards start getting suspiciou
Chapter 438
Arlo had never forgotten about Franklin, especially since the first place he attacked in Weltaria was Ronin's secret lab. The doctors involved had already been taken to Narman when Ronin was still overwhelmed by the military crisis, unable to strike back."We can also use the parasite poison you developed. Even though it failed to kill the Commander, I'm sure others won't be able to endure its effects," Karlos continued enthusiastically.The bullets supplied by the Argon Republic were special because they could absorb poison and release it upon hitting a target. Karlos believed their country could match the enemy if Narman's soldiers used Franklin's poison and the parasite variant. Besides, Narman still had the advantage of a larger army."What do you think?" Jimena asked, gently stroking Arlo's arm. "I agree with General Karlos. We can use both poisons to turn the situation around. Also, I'm sure Weltaria doesn't have enough energy bullets to last for the next month."Unlike Soul Ess

At Command Control, Elara frowned when she realized that the Narman Empire had deployed all its forces to defend the border. She asked the drone operator to record the situation inside Narman, but enemy snipers destroyed the drones before they could get further."Colonel, it looks like Emperor Arlo has lost his mind," Falkner said, eyes wide in shock. "You saw the nearest safe zone from the border earlier, right? There wasn't a single soldier guarding the civilians!"Elara massaged her temples as if the mistake had come from her own superior. Even though it was the enemy's fault, she still felt the headache coming. She knew Arlo's decision would affect innocent civilians."Commander, what would you like to do next? We can break through from the northeastern border. There are mountain gaps we can infiltrate," Elara said after analyzing the current condition through the drone footage.While studying the northeastern terrain, she continued, "If we send extreme terrain specialists there,
