Supreme Mars novel Chapter 21

Fierce momentum, similar to the force of a thousand troops, swept through the entire Emerdale River like a storm. Oceania seemed so small and helpless in comparison.

But that was not all. With the warships taking the lead, clouds split open, and out came the roaring of plane engines.

A total of 100 helicopters hovered in the sky in a neat square formation.

Each helicopter was full of soldiers.

They wore pure white military uniforms that represented the navy, and carried dangerous firearms.

The finale happened on the shore.

Huge armored military vehicles appeared on the shore. More than a dozen tanks formed a line of steel, carrying the sheer firepower to destroy everything in their way. Their mere presence on the shore was enough to make people retreat by a mile.

Soldiers in green military uniforms jumped out of the tanks one after another and lined up in a square formation. Their expressions were sharp and aggressive.

The military showmanship encompassed the sea, land, and sky. Ten leaders from each service branch stepped forward and looked at the man below them with a solemn expression. In unison, they said, "On your mark! Fire!"

Then, 50 warships, 100 helicopters, 50 armored vehicles, and 20 tanks pointed their muzzles at the sky.

The soldiers of the army, navy, and air force also picked up their guns and pointed them at the sky.

The slew of actions shocked and excited the spectators, and they could not help but raise their heads and shout in gusto.

"Today, we celebrate the wedding of the Commander of the Wyverns with the world! Members of the army, navy, air force! Commence firing of blanks for three minutes!" the head of the leaders said, shouting himself hoarse.

"Fire!"

Countless artillery shells launched into the sky with deafening sounds.

The din made the soldiers feel like they had returned to that era of guns and bullets.

They could almost hear their screams as they charged forward and killed their enemies.

They could feel their blood boiling inside them.

Three minutes later, the clamor of guns and cannons stopped, and colorful fireworks lit up the sky.

The soldiers put down their guns and made a standard military salute in unison.

The leaders of the army, navy, and air force formations took the lead in shouting, "Congratulations, Commander! Wyverns, to the sky!"

"Wyverns, to the sky!"

"Wyverns, to the sky!"

Each fervent voice was louder than the one before it, forming an orchestra of voices that lingered for a long time.

In the midst of the soldiers' impassioned voices, Lydia's eyes turned red and her voice trembled as she looked at the man before her.

"Did you prepare all this for me?"

"Daddy!"

Emilia ran over as well.

Leo picked the little girl up and turned around slowly.

Suddenly, a dazzling spotlight fell on him.

No one could see his face due to the distance.

To Lydia, however, Leo looked much more majestic than usual, and his eyes were filled with unguarded emotion.

He wore a military uniform, black combat boots, and his chest was adorned with gilded military badges. His smile was gentle as he nodded at her.

"I promised that I'd give you an unforgettable wedding night. I should've married you five years ago, but I failed to do that. I hope you can forgive me," he said in a low voice.

He knelt down on one knee as he spoke, holding an exquisite box in his hand.

He opened the box to reveal an extravagant diamond ring inside.

"The Tears of Venus!"

Cries of surprise came from the guests at the reception.

Leo knelt in front of Lydia; his eyes focused squarely her flawless face. "Lydia, please marry me," he announced earnestly.

Fireworks shot into the sky and lit up the vast skyline for a long time.

Everyone looked up in unison, watching as countless fireworks bloomed in the sky and merged to spell out a woman's name.

It read: Lydia Henderson.

In an instant, all the attendees became eager to get a look at the groom's face.

Unfortunately, the viewing platform was so tall that no one could get a clear look.

"Fireworks all over the city, plus a 150-million-dollar diamond ring! How romantic!"

Some of the socialites were deeply envious.

The Tears of Venus, the diamond ring with its astronomical price tag, was enough to impress all the women in attendance.

Caroline was no exception.

She was beside herself with envy as she stared at the woman on the lookout point. If only she could be in that woman's place right now...

Then, she would have a groom influential enough to have even the army, navy, and air force congratulate him on his wedding.

William looked upward and muttered to himself, "Looks like Miss Henderson's husband has a military background..."

No ordinary person would have warranted such fanfare from the army, navy, and air force.

Peter frowned, having noticed this as well. However, a vicious look swiftly crossed his eyes.

The Lawsons had never feared anyone in Emerdale.

Meanwhile, a graceful and curvaceous woman was standing in a dark corner of Oceania.

She was wearing a tight black outfit that seemed to merge with the darkness around her. If one didn’t pay attention, they may not have noticed her at all.

She was looking at the man on the lookout post with mixed emotions, as tears bubbled up in her eyes.

“Mr. Cohen's wish has finally been fulfilled", she thought.

The fireworks continued for a long time, but Leo was still kneeling on one knee in front of Lydia.

A minute passed by.

Then, two more minutes.
