Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2712

Everyone was staring intently at the Northern King as they eagerly waited for his answer.

“I promise you all that you will most likely be enjoying a great life in a Camp one month from now. Most importantly, you will all stand a chance at securing a bright future for yourselves. I believe trading seventy tons of rations for such an opportunity is acceptable to all of you, right?” the Northern King assured them.

His words got everyone hyped up as it had always been their dream to be part of a Camp.

It was only natural for them to get incredibly excited when they finally had the opportunity to make that dream a reality.

They couldn't help but feel a little guilty for doubting the Northern King when he was actually helping them secure a better future.

Even so, someone was still uncertain about the arrangement. “But Camp North and Camp South are all full at the moment, and there hasn't been any word about them recruiting lately. Besides, even if they are recruiting, there's no way they'll be able to recruit that many people! I estimate they'll get a hundred or two hundred men at best.”

“You're being too narrow-minded. Just because Camp North and Camp South aren't recruiting doesn't mean the others aren't!”

Everyone lost their minds when they heard that.

What? There are new Camps on Theos Island now? Since when did Theos Island have new Camp Masters? This person came from the outside world, too! Well, it doesn't matter what this person's background is. As long as he is a Camp Master, we'll all stand a chance at joining a Camp!

The Legion members, who were complaining and protesting earlier, immediately began buttering the Northern King up.

“Now, keep in mind that this arrangement is top-secret, so do not say a word about it to anyone. If any of you guys let it slip, you could very well upset the Camp Master. I will be sure to punish you severely!” the Northern King added.

The Legion members immediately went silent and stopped discussing the matter.

They were about to leave when the Northern King called out to them once again, “Wait a minute!”

The men turned around and asked curiously, “What is it, Northern Master?”

“Centuria of the Northern Faction has betrayed us. We'll disgrace ourselves if we just sit by and let them get away with it. We must attack Centuria!”

“Aren't they being led by a really powerful commander, Northern Master? A-Are you sure we have what it takes to defeat them? The Southern King says he rose to power through the use of an Earth Level divine weapon, but I don't think that information is very reliable. If that new commander is truly capable of defeating Ten Ruthless Warriors and the Southern King, then he should be more powerful than you. I don't think we can take him down.”

“I've hired a highly powerful warrior to handle their new commander, so you guys have nothing to worry about,” the Northern King reassured them.

Hearing that got everyone riled up once again.

What? The Northern King hired a powerful warrior to fight Centuria's new commander? Could that powerful warrior be the new Camp Master by any chance? Zeke may be able to defeat a Legatus, but there's no way he can take on a Camp Master! Our victory is in the bag!

With that in mind, the members of Legion followed behind the Northern King as they headed over to Centuria's district.

The Southern King was surprised after hearing about someone starting a new Camp.

Who is this person? What if it's someone working for Zeke or his men? I can't think of anyone powerful enough to do so. If that's the case, then the Northern King will only be making a fool of himself if the person he hired to fight Zeke is actually working for Zeke! The Northern King hasn't met Centuria's new commander, so that scenario is entirely possible. Oh, man... I bet the look on the Northern King's face will be priceless if he finds out about that!

In Centuria's district, Sole Wolf had doubled the amount of security on the main entrance after finding out that the Northern King would attack them soon.
