The Legendary Man Chapter 931-In a manor somewhere in the Harfush province of Chanaea, a tired-looking Hades was poring over a map of Merania.
Since he received news on Remdik a few days ago from Number 1, the secretive chief of Dark Special Forces, he had not gotten any proper rest.
Because of Josephine, Jonathan made the decision to retire from his position as chief of Asura’s Office.
Since then, the responsibility of managing Asura’s Office fell on Hades.
It was only after taking over the running of Asura’s Office that Hades truly got to understand how much pressure Jonathan had been under in the past.
The situation in Doveston was enough to give one countless sleepless nights, not to mention the additional troubles created by the eight respectable families and Yaleview.
Jonathan and Number 1 had infiltrated Remdik, and thanks to the intelligence they gathered, Asura’s Office was able to get an advanced warning on Remdik’s military plans and speedily came up with effective countermeasures.
However, Wilbur refused to grant them permission for passage through Yaleview, creating a strategic bottleneck for Asura’s office.
Even if Zachary’s Guardian Army and Terrence’s Southern Army wished to provide reinforcement, they were stymied and unable to head to Doveston.
Although they could travel by air and sea to bypass the obstruction caused by Yaleview Army, their resources to move via these two options were extremely limited.
The battle in Doveston was expected to require the deployment of at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Other than the movement of the combat forces, they would also need quick and safe routes to ensure timely and sufficient supplies for those on the war front.
As such, road and rail would be the most effective modes of transport for them.
However, that would require cooperation from Yaleview Army.
Hades had been trying to reach out to Wilbur in the past few days, only to be met with firm rejection.
Wilbur couldn’t care less who the head of Asura’s Office was. He said he would only liaise with Jonathan and would entertain no one else.
Hades had shared with Wilbur the dire state of affairs in Doveston, hoping he would change his mind upon assessing the gravity of the situation.
Unfortunately, Wilbur stuck to his stand and refused to consider granting passage unless he got to meet Jonathan in person.
He even warned that if Asura’s Office were to try to force its way through, Hades would have to be prepared to take on the Yaleview Army first.
Despite the fact that Wilbur managed to bring down Joshua with the help of the Salladay family, Hades had always thought he was all brawn and had no brains.
In Hades’ opinion, the mastermind who made that possible was Eva, and Wilbur was merely being lucky and allowed to rise to the top position due to his cultivation level.
After his recent exchanges with Wilbur, Hades finally realized that although Wilbur gave people the impression that he was a hot-headed boor with no morals or loyalty, in actual fact, he was a shrewd strategist.
Everyone knew Wilbur craved for power, but they also knew his biggest dream was to see a united Chanaea.
If the Remdik army made any attempt to cross River Onxy, the six hundred thousand soldiers of Yaleview Army would not sit still and tolerate the invasion.
Hades suspected the reason for Wilbur’s insistence on meeting up with Jonathan was that he wanted to shamelessly take advantage of the dire situation to force Jonathan into making a major concession. It would be a demand that not even Hades, the head of Asura’s office, could fulfill.
Hades could not help but be curious about the plans Wilbur had up his sleeve.
“Commander, we’ve established contact with the seven Kings of War!”
Suddenly, Hades’ deputy’s voice rang out, snapping him out of his deep thoughts.
Hades rubbed his tired eyes, gestured to his deputy, and said, “Put the call through.”
