Everyone listened silently. It felt like they had traveled back twelve years ago and witnessed the chaos in Riveria alongside the Grand Marshal. 

At that time, the South Regent was still young, and their main enemy were ruthless old- generation men, led by the South Regent’s father. 

The Grand Marshal had four chances to defeat the South Regent’s father, but each time, something unexpected happened. 

The first time, chaos broke out within Riveria, and he had to return with his troops. The second time, their enemy’s reinforcements came just in time. The third time, the troop’s commander fell gravely ill just before the operation. The fourth time, he had set fire to the enemy’s camp, 

and they had no way to escape, but then, a sudden rain extinguished the 

flames. 

“It was from that day onward that the Grand Marshal’s health began to fail.” Samuel sighed. 

The enemy always seemed to have divine intervention on their side, escaping from death time and time again. 

“In the last three years of his life, the Grand Marshal met an orphan at the foot of Sky Peak. Taking pity on the boy, the Grand Marshal took him in as his mentee and only successor, teaching him everything he knew in those three years. 

“The day his mentee became an adult, the Grand Marshal… passed away at Sky Peak. 

At that point, Samuel’s eyes were filled with tears. 

To this day, he still found it a pity. If only the Grand Marshal had held on for a few more days, he would have seen how Ethan turned the tide of fate and saved Riveria from danger. 

Alone, he forced the South Regent to retreat his troops, greatly relieving the pressure on Riveria. On the day of the Grand Marshal’s funeral, he used fire and gasoline to burn the South Regent’s father to death. 

On that same day, a torrential downpour came. The same rain saved the South Regent’s father had struck down the Grand Marshal, leaving him gravely ill. However, this time, Ethan used the rain to his advantage, ensuring that the fire and gasoline burned the South Regent’s father and everyone around him to death. 

The South Regent was furious and vowed to avenge his father by giving it his all to deal with Riveria, but Ethan struck back by stirring up trouble with foreign powers, forcing the South Regent to defend. 

Once the South Regent secured his borders, he attacked again, but Ethan united the forces within Riveria and fought back, beating the South Regent into retreat again.

A month later, the South Regent attacked again, but this time, Ethan destroyed the South Regent’s forces from within, killing two of his trusted aides. Hence, the South Regent was defeated for the third time. 

The Grand Marshal once had four chances to defeat the South Regent’s father, and Ethan used the factors that caused the Grand Marshal’s failure to turn the tables! 

By then, Ethan had defied fate four times, avenging the Grand Marshal. 

After that, the South Regent fought Ethan several more times but failed every time! That last time, Ethan even pointed a gun against the South Regent’s head. 

The story of the Grand Marshal’s passing in Sky Peak weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts. The reporter’s eyes were red, and she kept wiping away her tears. 

However, when they knew how capable the mentee was–first killing the South Regent’s father and then defeating him multiple times–excitement filled the audience in the livestream. 

“His mentee is incredible! He’s only trained for three years, yet he’s won so many battles.” 

“The Grand Marshal would be proud.” 

“His mentee is the true unsung hero!”
