The Legendary Man Chapter 742-The two vehicles carried a total of eight soldiers from the West Region Army, all of who was now lying face down in a pool of blood.
Emerging unscathed, Jonathan had annihilated six while the Machian youth took out two.
As for the jets in the sky, they had gradually flown away.
“Why are they fleeing? I was just planning on taking them down!” the Machian youth remarked smugly while holding the blood-drenched kukri in his hand.
Jonathan let out a snort before frisking the dead soldiers’ bodies for any communication devices.
“Stop your bragging. The jets have taken a huge risk with their brief incursion of the border. Based on the international rules of engagement, their behavior is considered a form of provocation, giving Chanaea the right to deploy troops against them.”
As Jonathan tore the patch off one of the dead soldier’s chests, he could clearly see a white elephant on it.
“Just as I expected. They’re from the White Elephant Squad.”
Jonathan threw the patch to the youth.
“Hey, I saved your life. Shouldn’t you be telling me the truth? Such as your name and what you’re doing here in West Region? Also, why in the world are those guys chasing you all the way from Newcove?”
“My name is Hossom Hoffman,” the youth replied as he retrieved a pack of cigarettes from the body of a dead soldier.
Ignoring the blood on the pack, he pulled one out and stuffed it between his lips.
“Actually, I didn’t do much during my trip to West Region. All I did was steal a diamond from the head of the Seboxia statue from Bazar Temple in Newcove.”
While speaking, Hossom handed a cigarette to Jonathan.
However, Jonathan was gawking at him.
“Wow, I can’t believe what you did. How dare you steal something like that? They would probably be filled with shame if they didn’t kill you.”
In spite of his words, Jonathan still gave Hossom a look of admiration.
West Region was the world’s largest theocratic country, while Seboxia was the most prominent God they worshipped.
As for Bazar Temple, it was designated as holy ground by West Region. Therefore, stealing the diamond from Seboxia’s head was no different from asking to be killed.
“Hehe, it wasn’t that difficult.” Hossom chuckled in response.
“To repay you for saving my life, I’ll give you ownership of half the diamond I stole. By the way, what’s your name?”
“Me?” Jonathan looked at Hossom. “I’m Hensom Hoffman.”
“What? You’re a Hoffman too?” Hossom remarked in delight, “Hensom, with your strength, what are you doing in this ungodly place? Shouldn’t you be enjoying yourself somewhere?”
Jonathan turned to look toward the west upon hearing Hossom’s words.

Even though I managed to save the kid after giving the West Region Army some trouble, the borders will definitely be strengthened after this. On top of that, it is extremely difficult to hide oneself in this endless desert.
“I was just traveling around in search of any profitable opportunities,” Jonathan replied with a laugh. “By the way, during your travels in West Region, have you heard of someone named Caspian?”
Hossom furrowed his brows in thought.
“Caspian… Are you talking about the commander of the West Region border guards? I have never seen him before. Actually, I’m curious. I was expecting to be stopped by the border guards along the West Region and was surprised that I managed to cross it so easily.”
Jonathan didn’t comment on the matter, for there was no way he could tell a foreigner that a brutal battle that cost a hundred and twenty thousand lives had just occurred a few days ago.
Currently, the Mysonna Army wasn’t alone in rejuvenating its forces.
Even West Region, the country with the second largest population, was forced to allow its forces to recuperate after losing seventy thousand troops.
“Hossom, in order to reach Machia, all you have to do is head south. Even though they might be tracking you still, they won’t cause you any trouble within the borders of Chanaea. When you arrive in Yorksland, you can probably leave Chanaea easily with your skill. Just remember not to cause any trouble in Chanaea, or I’ll make sure that you regret it.”
Once Jonathan finished, he began walking toward the west.
Time was of the essence when it came to Dorian’s injuries. The current circumstances didn’t allow Jonathan to be away for a long time. Hence, he had to make his foray into West Region a quick one.
