The Legendary Man novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680 Time For Your Death

Sawyer and the rest were stunned by Dominick’s words. The bulk of Remdik’s forces, Snow Wolf Army, Glacier Army, and Arctic Army, boasted three hundred thousand soldiers each.

Though the three regiments were stationed in the eastern part of the country of Remdik like Medved Army, the garrison areas were sparsely manned.

However, they had quietly arrived in the areas of ​​Calvico and Sinchko, which were less than five hundred miles away from River Onxy.

Given the proximity, the troops stationed there could be thrown into the battlefield in as little as half a day once a battle broke out. An army of one million. The number alone makes one’s scalp tingle.

Even Sawyer, who was aggressive by nature, was stunned. He gazed at Jonathan in wonder. As the latter said, the country of Remdik could mobilize millions of troops to the battlefield quickly if there was a battle to be had.

Wilbur will not send the remaining four hundred thousand soldiers of Yaleview Army, which would be the closest support to arrive, to Doveston. Therefore, Horbah, Terrandya, and Baridoki would surely fall if a battle broke out.

Jonathan gazed at the rippling river and let out a long sigh.

“Cultivators in the advanced phase of God Realm keep their promises. Return with your Yaleview Army of two hundred thousand, Sawyer. Doveston will be peaceful for half a year.”

“It’ll only be half a year, Mr. Goldstein. We’re happy to be stationed in Horbah directly, and conduct repair works and the likes for future battles—”

Before Sawyer could finish his sentence, Jonathan’s hand was already on his shoulder.

Jonathan smiled faintly at the other’s stunned expression.

“Wilbur has four army commanders in the Grandmaster Realm. The other three are veterans who have experienced the baptism of war, and you are a complete newcomer he had personally groomed.

“The first reason for sending you to my command is so I could let my guard down to reveal more information to you.

“The second is to give me a chance to attack you so that you may become his double agent.

“The third is to seize the opportunity to join forces with Eastern Army and disintegrate the threat of Eastern Army to Yaleview Army from within.”

“What do you mean, Mr. Goldstein? I don’t quite understand.” Sawyer looked at Jonathan with a wry smile. “I really just want to help.”

“Help?” Jonathan asked with a chuckle. “Is that why you brought more than ten thousand medical staff out of two hundred thousand people?”

Sawyer and Karl’s expressions shifted slightly as soon as Jonathan’s words sounded.

Sawyer was surprised by Jonathan’s acuity. Karl, on the other hand, glowered at Sawyer, wishing for nothing more than to dismember the harmless and somewhat reckless youth on the spot.

Although an army requires medical personnel, such a large number is abnormal. The only explanation is that once casualties occurred during the war, Sawyer’s men would be able to swoop in and rescue the Eastern Army on a large scale. This life-saving grace could ultimately minimize the defense of Eastern Army against Yaleview Army.

Sawyer had been wanting to fire the first shot to start the war, which revealed the ultimate purpose of Wilbur’s plan—to assimilate Eastern Army into the Yaleview Army completely.

“I used to think you have nothing but a hollow reputation, Mr. Goldstein. That you were luckier than others by following the trend,” Sawyer remarked as he met Jonathan’s eyes with his clear ones. “Now I understand why Wilbur is so afraid of your existence. You are indeed a born strategist.”

Jonathan stopped Karl, who wanted to strike and merely smiled and nodded.

“Go back to Wilbur and tell him that I know he has positioned people around me. However, I have many more men in Yaleview, including some within Yaleview Army. There is no need to engage in such petty tricks in the future.”
