The Eastern Army had never experienced such a large-scale act of insubordination since it was established thirty years ago.
All the mortal soldiers, disregarding their lives, returned to the battlefield to defend their assigned positions.
Listening to the resounding battle cries of unwavering determination, even the commanders of the Eastern Army could not enforce military discipline to punish them.
Behind the front lines, hundreds of thousands of people had begun acting according to plan, preparing for the battle.
The command center of the Eastern Allied Army sent orders to all units and subsequently to every soldier.
Like a precise machine, the entire army began operating swiftly.
Meanwhile, outside Beshya’s frontier, Hayes was consumed by a murderous rage.
He sent a werewolf flying with his sword, but before he could take others on, another werewolf struck him head-on.
Tossing away his sword, Hayes crossed his arms in front of his chest to protect himself, letting out a howl of agony as the intense pain surged through him.
Seconds later, he transformed from a six-foot-tall man into a giant that was about ten-foot-tall.
His face contorted, and his clothes were instantly torn apart.
Pitch-black hair started growing all over his body.
Following a painful howl, Hayes finally completed his transformation, assuming the form of a colossal werewolf.
The main reason Hayes had yet to be crowned as one of the Kings of War was he had yet to attain a certain cultivation level.
Toward the later stages of Jonathan’s conquest, Hades, Kane, and Zachary advanced to the next cultivation level after engaging in various battles.
Karl, in particular, experienced a remarkable breakthrough and ascended to the God Realm due to the talent he had in cultivation.
Warriors at that cultivation level not only possessed the ability to suppress their opponents but also commanded the respect and loyalty of others.
In addition, they had the ability to safeguard themselves against individuals who might stab them in the back.
Nonetheless, Hayes had never delved deep into the Great Pryncyp, even though he was a considerably skilled warrior.
Even after becoming the King of Lumonburg and having access to more resources, he had never thought of focusing on his cultivation.
In his own words, he was never a man driven by ambition. While attaining the title of one of the Eight Kings of War seemed glamorous, it also meant he would acquire enemies along the way.
Hence, he preferred to settle in his own little corner and live as a carefree landowner.
However, the situation took a turn when his sister harbored intentions of killing Jonathan. As a result, Jonathan sent her to the Northern Crimson Prison for rehabilitation and handed over the cultivation method of the Gomez family in Lumonburg to him. That was when he understood the importance of cultivation for the first time.
In other words, among all the mortals in Asura’s Office, Hayes was the first to have access to cultivation resources before Jonathan initiated the comprehensive plan for everyone.
Moreover, owing to his unique position, Hayes, who had fought alongside Hades, received preferential treatment when the latter distributed the cultivation resources.
Since then, Hayes’ cultivation level had improved tremendously.
Just over a month ago, Hayes used the broken spirit stone from the Blackwood family and forcefully elevated his cultivation level to the Superior Realm.
Despite the unstable and chaotic state of his spiritual energy resulting from his rapid cultivation, Hayes didn’t care because he knew Asura’s Office was in need of cultivators at that moment.
Moreover, just a week prior, with the assistance of Hades, Hayes obtained a Beta Warrior genetic potion from a laboratory in Harfush.
Initially, Hades opposed to the idea.
After all, Jonathan entrusted Hayes with the command position in the Eastern Army because he valued Hayes’ loyalty and leadership abilities.
Whether Hayes was a Grandmaster Realm cultivator was not Jonathan’s primary concern.
Yet, Hayes was determined to do things his way.
He once said, “All the Superior Realm cultivators in Asura’s Office had undergone some form of modification. Why should I be an exception?”
