Cracks spread wildly across the ground, splitting the coastal land until it became unstable. Every inch of that area was now in Arlo's grip. From within the cracks, stone pillars exploded to the surface with brutal thuds, rising high before shooting toward Cassian like giant spears.Cassian moved quickly, his body dancing between the attacks, floating lightly like a leaf challenging the storm. But the chase did not stop. Every step Arlo took sent new tremors, making the earth writhe and forcing Cassian to keep moving."How long do you plan to keep dodging, huh? You will get tired, and then my army will destroy you!" Arlo shouted, stomping hard on the ground to create sharp pillars stronger than before."What if you attack properly so I can't dodge?" Cassian teased while dodging the stone pillars and flying rocks.The tip of a pillar nearly hit him if he had been three seconds late to avoid it. "This duel could end quickly if you were as competent as you boast. But where is that skill
Chapter 448
In Weltaria, everyone watched the duel nervously because they knew Arlo was a strong fighter. They ignored all other activities and focused entirely on the duel.Even the West and Starling families joined to watch the duel since it involved Weltaria's future survival. The prison guards allowed them to watch together as if they were not prisoners."How is the Commander going to face Emperor Arlo? I heard the Emperor is very cruel. That's why he can rule Narman as a dictator," one officer wondered."But the Commander is just as great," another officer replied proudly. "Look, not one of Arlo's attacks has broken through the Commander's defense. That means they are equally matched!""If so, the winner will be decided by who is more determined to survive. Neither can win as long as both have the stamina and motivation to keep fighting," Scott suddenly commented.The West family would have long been bankrupt if he had not managed his business well. He had learned since childhood to protect

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
