Chapter 513 God Realm
Following Andy’s order, the soldiers of the Yalegard Legion raised their guns to train on the Yaleview Army.
Two army units with a total of nearly two hundred thousand people were in a confrontation at the East Yaleview Losyale Expressway toll station.
At the back of the Yaleview Army was a military jeep. In the vehicle was a man with a crewcut and a knife-length scar on his left cheek, and he was frowning at the tablet in his hands.
This man, who had yet to reach thirty years of age, was the current commander of the Yaleview Army, Wilbur Xanthos.
“Sir!” a young soldier respectfully greeted outside the jeep.
“Speak,” Wilbur said.
“Commander, the Yalegard Legion led by Andy Morsley has readied themselves for battle. They might fire at any time. Should we initiate the attack?” the young soldier asked tentatively.
It had been almost three years since Asura’s Office was established. Although Jonathan had already gained control over the lands outside of Yaleview, everyone had to admit that those three years had been the most peaceful time in Chanaea in the past few decades.
That peace would be disrupted if either party—the Yalegard Legion or the Yaleview Army—were to fire the first shot.
Furthermore, the battle between the two armies that had been formed and strengthened over the past three years would be something to fear about.
Therefore, even though it was merely a question for his commander, the soldier’s heart was thumping loudly in his chest.
At the sight of the young soldier’s anxious demeanor, Wilbur lowered the tablet in his hands.
“Are you a part of the Yaleview Army’s general staff?”
“Yes, Sir!” the young soldier answered enthusiastically. “I’m Minoas Xanthos, a general staff of the Yaleview Army. My main responsibility is to analyze the battlefield and strategize.”
When Wilbur heard that the young soldier was from the same family, he chuckled.
“Since you specialize in analysis and strategizing, let me give you a lesson. Look at the information here. The main forces of Asura’s Office are the Eight Kings of War. So far, only Andy Morsley’s Yalegard Legion has come. Even though Andy is a commander who has experienced countless battles, he had ordered his men to stand in a horizontal line. This formation is clearly a disadvantageous one for them. If a battle really broke out, just one round of cannonballs would decimate a portion of their army. Do you think they’ll make a rookie mistake like this?”
“I…” Minoas shook his head.
“That’s right.” Wilbur chuckled. “Don’t worry. If a battle breaks out, the cannonballs will surely fly; there’ll be no need for them to bring the whole group over. Didn’t they say it’s a drill? Tell Chase that I’ll continue with it.”
“Yes, Sir!” Minoas turned and left.
Right then, a soldier jumped out of a vehicle behind them.
“Commander, we’ve found a helicopter in the southwest direction flying toward Yaleview.”
“Inform the navy, the army, and the air force of Yaleview to demand the helicopter pilot to turn around,” Wilbur replied.
“Understood!”
The soldier then went back into his vehicle. However, less than a minute later, he jumped back out.
“Commander, we’ve established a connection with the pilot, and we’ve confirmed that the person in the helicopter is Asura’s Office’s Jonathan Goldstein. He has requested to enter the city.”
“Rejected.” Wilbur lifted his head to look in the southwest sky, where a black dot was approaching them.
“Send two fighter jets to intercept him. If he insists on trespassing, you have my permission to open fire.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan, who was in the helicopter, was grimacing.
The pilot in front of Jonathan yelled, “Commander, we’re approaching Yaleview’s territory. Yaleview’s air traffic controllers have ordered us to turn around right away or land. If we continue forward, they’ll open fire!”
