The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1118

In the garden at Zedfield, Yaleview, Wilbur heard the beeping tone from the phone before he could say anything.

Remembering Jonathan’s calm tone earlier, he scoffed coldly.

“Looks like Asura’s Office has suffered a massive blow!”

Although both of them had only been at the Valley of Elites for less than half a year, he had become good friends with Jonathan.

Wilbur knew Jonathan’s temper and personality very well.

If Jonathan’s voice was as cold as before, it meant that the issue was not that serious yet. Although it might be a bit more urgent, there was still space for negotiation.

However, Jonathan’s casual tone, as if he was just talking about everyday affairs, implied that his patience had reached a limit.

He was no longer negotiating with Wilbur. Rather, he was informing the latter.

When Wilbur examined the casualty reports that Yaleview Army intelligence officers who had infiltrated Eastern Army sent back, he frowned.

“Has the troops been gathered?”

After Wilbur asked the question, the adjutant quickly confirmed the status of every troop in Yaleview Army.

Within less than a minute, the adjutant turned around and looked at Wilbur.

“Commander, all personnel in Yaleview Army have been gathered.”

Wilbur tossed the file onto his table. After a moment of contemplation, he let out a deep sigh.

“At my orders, send the fourth and ninth battalion to the River Onxy battlefield. Open the main roads in Huxville, Harfush, Yaleview, and the surrounding regions. Allow vehicles from Asura’s Office to pass by the main roads leading to Doveston. However, they must not linger. Yaleview will enter battle mode. Seal all entrances and exits. All vehicles, including private cars, are not allowed to pass through either. The first battalion will be tasked with defending Yaleview. The second and third battalions will guard the northwestern and southwestern gates.”

“Roger!” replied the adjutant loudly before distributing the instructions to the others rapidly.

After ensuring that everything was arranged, he turned around and looked at Wilbur again.

“Commander, your instructions have been heeded. However, some things need to be clarified. For instance, the commander-in-chief…”

Wilbur glanced at the adjutant as a look of hostility flashed past his eyes.

“Theo, I climbed up to this position from where you are now. I understand your intentions, but you shouldn’t be so anxious.”

Thud!

Theo fell to his knees without any hesitation.

“I… I don’t mean that, Commander!”

As Wilbur stared icily at Theo’s trembling body, the hostility in his eyes faded gradually and was replaced by a look of melancholy sorrow.

He had plotted to overthrow Joshua ever since he was appointed the adjutant. Precisely because of that, he could not trust anyone.

He had replaced three previous adjutants before Theo.

As long as those people raised even the slightest suspicion within him, he would eliminate them even if there was no evidence.

Till now, Wilbur could not find someone whom he could confide in. In a way, he was quite pathetic.

When Wilbur extended his arm and touched Theo’s shoulder to help him up, Theo was so scared that he crumbled onto the floor.

Raising his arms, he pleaded in a trembling voice, “Commander, I promise that I won’t dare to speak unnecessarily in the future. Please spare me…”

Wilbur looked at his extended right arm, his heart aching as if someone had just stabbed it.
