Chapter 188 Apologize In Person
Three years ago, Asura led a million troops to subdue the West Region and razed it to the ground in just half a year.
No one knew the heart-wrenching despair they felt back then.
Under Asura’s almighty command, the troops of the West Region could not even put up the slightest resistance.
In a mere six months, they were utterly defeated and forced to surrender.
They initially thought the West Region was doomed to such a humble existence forever. Yet, to their surprise, Asura suddenly disappeared mysteriously after restoring peace to the nation.
No one knew where he went or whether he was still alive.
Still, they waited for a whole year before they deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the West Region to invade Beshya on that very day.
Without Asura, Beshya was no more than a decrepit shrine, crumbling to pieces with its sacredness gone, vulnerable and frail.
“Hah! It is unnecessary for Asura to get his hands dirty just because of an insignificant West Region!” Kane snorted, not at all bothered about the taunt.
Back then, all four of us followed Asura to battle everywhere, taking innumerable lives! What is a mere West Region in comparison?
“Attention, Eagle Dragon Guards! You’re to wipe out the West Region within a month! Attack!”
Following that order, the hundred thousand Eagle Dragon Guards charged forward at once, risking their lives without an ounce of fear.
“Sir!” Just when Kane lifted the spear in his hand to attack the enemy once more, a soldier suddenly rushed forward from behind him while shouting urgently, “Sir, Jazona has issued the Decree of Asura! Three Kings of War were ordered to lead their troops to Jazona!”
“What?”
The moment Kane heard the phrase “Decree of Asura,” a shudder went through him.
Glowering, he bored his eyes into the soldier and demanded, “What did you just say? Repeat that! You said Asura issued the Decree of Asura and commanded three Kings of War to lead their troops to Jazona?”
“Yes, Sir!” Stricken by his imposing aura, the soldier hastily lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
“Which three Kings of War?” Kane questioned coldly.
There are four Kings of War, so why were only three Kings of War given the order?
“The Cardinal King of War, the Excalibur King of War, and also the Vanquisher King of War.”
“Why am I, the Thunder King of War, not included?” Kane abruptly flew into a rage.
“Sir, the Vanquisher King of War said that Asura has a decree for you. If you can’t quell the rebellion in the West Region within a month, you don’t need to go and see him anymore!”
“Understood!”
When Kane heard the final utterance by the soldier, he immediately leaped off his horse and went down on one knee.
Although it was merely an oral decree, he still dismounted and personally acknowledged the order as though Asura himself was there.
“Where’s Lieutenant Reaper?” Kane then got to his feet and turned to the Eagle Dragon Guards.
When his bellow rang out, a soldier in armor instantly stepped forward and fell to his knees. “Reaper at your order, Sir!”
“Lead fifty thousand soldiers to Jazona right away! Although the Eagle Dragon Guards was not included in the Decree of Asura, we must dispatch some troops since the decree has been issued! Whoever violates this order will be executed!”
Reaper trembled upon hearing the order. “But Sir…”
Beshya is already in the midst of war. What would happen if I were to lead fifty thousand soldiers to Jazona? And what about the rebellion in the West Region?
“There are no buts. This is an order!” Kane’s gaze turned frosty. “If you violate this order, you’ll be executed at once!”
“Understood, Sir!”
When Reaper heard the latter part of his sentence, he knew that the man had already made up his mind and that no one could sway him.
