Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1607

It is possible that they are intending to conquer the martial arts scene in Eurasia over the long term.

“Sole Wolf,” Zeke ordered, suddenly brisk. “Gather the Wolfpack to march toward Atheville! We are about to head for war.”

“Yes, Grand Marshal!”

Immediately after getting off the phone with Sole Wolf, Zeke dialed the president's number to no avail.

It seems like the Four Hidden Sects have severed the communication lines of Atheville with the outside world.

Zeke picked up his pace. “Hurry! Atheville is in grave danger.”

He was right.

At the exact same moment in Atheville, the heads of the Four Hidden Sects had surrounded Atheville with a combined force of a million men.

Amongst them were thousands upon thousands of King Class warriors and Archdukes. Even the commonest footsoldier was a Grand Master.

The force mustered up by the Four Hidden Sects was capable of standing up to the military might of an entire nation.

The four heads were at the moment discussing the final details of their operation in a tent when a subordinate entered.

“Sirs, we are pleased to report that the communication lines had been disabled! Atheville now has no way to reach out to the outside world for help.”

The four heads were immensely pleased by the news.

With Atheville surrounded and its communication lines severed, the city belongs to us now.

As Atheville is the governing city of Eurasia, the entire nation is as good as ours!

“It is time,” the four heads unanimously declared. “Move out!”

Flanked by the advance team of a thousand strong warriors, the four heads made their way past the city gates.

The advance team was made up of men carefully chosen by the four heads. Amongst them were several hundred King Class warriors with the rest comprising of Archdukes.

The commotion did not go unnoticed by the president, who sent an envoy to stop them in their path.

“The Four Hidden Sects are not permitted to step foot onto the sacred ground of Atheville,” the envoy said simply. “Retreat at once or be branded as traitors to the nation.”

“I'm just here to check up on the status of the offerings promised to us,” Jaime said with a chuckle. “We haven't heard anything about it so I thought I'd come and check. You are the ones to have violated the century-old terms first. I just want to know why.”

“I will relay your concern to the president,” the envoy replied stiffly. “I trust that he will have a satisfactory answer for you very soon. In the meantime, please remove yourself from the city and await his reply.”

“I just want to clarify things with a face-to-face meeting,” Jaime insisted. “You messengers will only distort the message.” At that, he waved his men forward.

“Proceed no further!” the envoy shouted in a panic. “This is an order-”

Jaime shot a glance at one of the King Class warriors who promptly stepped forward to snap the envoy's neck.

Undeterred, the president sent several more envoys forward to attempt to parlay with the four heads only to have them mercilessly slaughtered in the same way.

At last, the president was forced to deploy armed guards to put an end to the march led by the four heads.

Unfortunately, the advance team which consisted of several hundred King Class warriors was already a force to be reckoned with.

Despite the guards' best efforts, the march was not even delayed as the advance team marched ahead to kill anyone who stood in the way of the four heads.

At last, the party arrived before the president's residence.

Aside from being his home and office, it was also the heart of Eurasia and all of its secrets.

Fortunately, the president had the foresight to deploy the reserve guards to surround his residence. The small army was led by the Four Royal Guards who were Emerald Dragon, Scarlet Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

They had been Zeke's disciples from a young age.

Upon the discovery of the Spirit Stone mine, they were the first ones to reap its benefits which ensured their ascension to King Class warriors.

After many more years of training and serving the president, they were all nearing the upper limits of King Class. One of them was so far along and was only a step away from Ultimate Class.
