Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1714

He couldn't let them die.

Given how similar they all were to each other, Northern Wolf certainly understood them well.

All the people whose names were called refused to budge, and they stood firmly among the Suicide Squad.

Eventually, Northern Wolf flew into a rage. “Get your a**es out of here! This is an order! If you dare go against it, you'll be discharged and sent home right away!”

The crowd trembled at the mention of Northern Wolf's order and had no choice but to leave the Suicide Squad.

From that, the number of Archduke Suicide Squad members reduced from two hundred to one hundred.

“Now, the rest of you back out by five kilometers.”

He couldn't let these regular soldiers get involved in the upcoming battle.

Everything within a five-kilometer radius from here would likely be annihilated completely.

Yet, the soldiers remained unmoving.

Fighting was their profession, after all; it was their life's calling.

That was why they didn't want to run away.

Seeing that, Northern Wolf could only resort to using his authority once again. “Get moving right now, or I'll have you all punished by martial law!”

With a sigh, the troops began to retreat, albeit at the slowest possible speed.

Look at the way these guys keep glancing south with expectations written all over their faces.

They're secretly hoping that our enemies would show up any time soon, aren't they?

Are they looking forward to this battle?

Northern Wolf understood his men so well that he could easily read their thoughts with just one glance.

I knew it. Not letting them fight is probably even more tormenting than killing them!

Unable to control himself, he eventually spoke. “All right, fine. What's with all the dilly-dallying? To those of you who have been expelled but wish to stay, you can serve as support from one kilometer away. Remember! Don't come any closer than a one-kilometer radius, and you'll only be assisting. Put your own lives first. Anyone who dares go against my order will be punished by martial law!”

Yes!

Upon hearing that, all the Archduke warriors began to punch the air and leap with joy as though they had just hit the jackpot.

Suddenly, the sounds of intense roaring came from the south.

The soldiers soon caught sight of a dot of red light making its way toward them at a fast pace.

Then, the crowd finally realized what was coming their way—a red coffin.

The coffin released a sonic boom that traveled faster than the speed of sound.

“Listen up, Archduke Suicide Squad!” Northern Wolf roared. “That coffin right there is our target. Remember, our job is to reduce its speed. I repeat—our job is to reduce the speed of that coffin! Do not face it head-on!”

“Yes, sir!” the Archduke Suicide Squad responded.

Then, the troops awaited the arrival of the red coffin, with Northern Wolf heading the army.

When the coffin was close enough, Northern Wolf, who stood at the very front, immediately unleashed his energy to obstruct their target.

Quasar may have had fallen in ranking, but he still possessed the strength of an Ultimate Class warrior.

No King Class warrior would stand a chance against him.

As soon as the red coffin collided with Northern Wolf's energy, the latter flew backward with blood spewing out of his mouth.

Nevertheless, he quickly got back up on his feet and continued to battle.

The speed of the coffin didn't seem to dwindle one bit.

Seeing that, three Archduke warriors charged forward, coming into direct contact with their target.

Since they had not achieved the rank of King Class and did not possess energy yet, this was the only way they could face their opponent.

Bam!

The three Archduke were immediately sent flying.

They landed on the ground drenched in blood, dying on the spot.

The Ultimate and Archduke classes were a complete world of difference.

How could they ever fight on equal grounds?

Even so, the three Archduke who had just sacrificed themselves in battle managed to get in the way of the coffin, thus reducing its speed slightly.

We have to kill him!

The other Archduke warriors' eyes turned red at the sight of their three comrades dying such a miserable death.
