Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1721

“Who's that? Show yourself,” Zeke said.

Not long after, a bearded man walked out from the thick fog on the other side.

After seeing the bearded man clearly, Zeke immediately recognized him.

He was the general of the Orient, Stefan Craig.

Back then, the Orient had continuously invaded the borders of Eurasia and caused trouble to the people in Eurasia. At that time, Zeke was not the Great Marshal. He was just an ordinary lieutenant.

He had led dozens of people to attack the enemy troops which consisted of a hundred thousand soldiers and killed their way through them before the enemy troops fled.

That was when he had captured Stefan alive.

To keep his life, Stefan had compensated Eurasia with all his wealth and apologized publicly before Zeke set him free.

After the battle, Zeke's achievements had earned him the title of Great Marshal.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the two met again at the border.

Zeke was currently the backbone of Eurasia, the Great Marshal, and Stefan was no longer the insignificant squad leader he was but had become the general of the Orient.

“What is it? What do you want from me?” Zeke spoke in an insolent tone.

“It's nothing wrong to greet an old friend,” Stefan responded.

Zeke glanced at Stefan and ignored him.

He continued with his journey down the valley.

Stefan wasn't worth it for him to waste his time.

Surprisingly, Stefan added, “Great Marshal, please halt.”

“If you have something to say, say it quickly,” Zeke replied impatiently.

“Are you trying to explore the depths of Bloodshot Valley?” Stefan asked.

Zeke nodded in response.

Stefan hurriedly said, “Great Marshal, I advise you not to do so.”

“Why?” Zeke asked.

“As everyone knows, Bloodshot Valley is connected to the underworld, which is also known as Eighteen Levels of Hell in Eurasia. Since ancient times, those who entered died in it without exceptions. I'm afraid you won't make it out alive if you go in! You're the backbone of Eurasia. If you die, then Eurasia will surely fall! You're not only representing yourself but also Eurasia. Please reconsider.”

“Oh?” Stefan's words piqued Zeke's interest. “Are you worried about me? Or could it be that your country's secrets are hidden within Bloodshot Valley, and so you don't want me to go in?”

Sole Wolf chuckled. “Zeke, don't waste your time. The old man wants you to die more than anything else. There's no way he would be worried about your safety.”

“So, it could only mean that there are hidden secrets of the Orient in Bloodshot Valley,” Zeke replied.

“It must be the case,” Killer Wolf chimed in as well.

“I see. Now I'm even more intrigued to find out,” Zeke uttered.

Stefan hurriedly explained himself, “Stop, Great Marshal! You've misunderstood me. Bloodshot Valley is an area forbidden to everyone. No one has ever set foot in it, and it is the same for the Orient. We have never entered the valley, so how could the Orient hide secrets in it?”

“If that's the case, say no more.” Zeke pretended to proceed with his journey.

Stefan sighed helplessly. “Okay. You leave me no choice but to tell you why I'm here.”

“Speak!”

Stefan replied, “To be honest, the president of the Orient has taken an interest in Bloodshot Valley. He wants to modify Bloodshot Valley into the most heavily guarded prison in the world! I thought Eurasia had no interest in Bloodshot Valley, so I wanted to claim it for myself. However, I never thought that you would have your eye on Bloodshot Valley. In this case, the Orient is willing to give you a fortune or even part of the country's territory in exchange for Bloodshot Valley.”
