The Legendary Man novel Chapter 957

The Legendary Man Chapter 957-Meanwhile, Jonathan curled himself up into a ball inside the truck’s trunk, not knowing what was going on outside.

All he could feel was that the ride was getting bumpier.

As he took a peek outside through a small gap, he realized that he was traveling across a large plain of golden grassland.

Only then did Jonathan know that he was in Merania territory.

However, he still dared not take out his communication device.

Nowadays, most military units were equipped with anti-reconnaissance testing equipment. His location would be exposed in less than a minute if he were to turn on his device there and then.

Although the troop of junior soldiers consisted of mere mortals would not pose a threat to Jonathan, the incoming cultivators who had heard the news would certainly put him in danger.

Furthermore, he also sensed several auras of Grandmaster Realm cultivators around him just a few moments ago.

In the past, Jonathan could effortlessly eliminate those Grandmaster Realm cultivators.

However, his current haggard and weakened state would suggest otherwise. Even though he wouldn’t necessarily be killed on the spot if he were to be besieged by Grandmaster Realm cultivators, they would most probably be able to stall him and request support from God Realm cultivators.

Therefore, Jonathan had no other choice but to stay quietly in the trunk in order to protect himself.

Meanwhile, in the command vehicle situated in the heart of the convoy, several Grandmaster Realm cultivators were frowning while reading the map in their hands.

“Rumor has it that the Asura’s Office in Chanaea has issued an order to open fire. We must rush to the outskirts of Kushburn and meet up with the main force of the southern military unit in two hours. Relay my order now and get everybody on high alert; be prepared to enter the war zone,” instructed a bearded man in the command vehicle.

“Noted!” his subordinates responded without any hesitation before relaying his order.

Then, the bearded man furrowed his brows as he gazed out of the window.

His name was Giovanni, the chief of a garrison in the south of Ballachov.

A week ago, the entire Remdikian Western Army had readied themselves for battle.

Following Jonathan’s appearance in Ballachov, they started gathering their forces.

Initially, Giovanni thought that his troop would be mobilized for a search mission around Ballachov.

He did not expect to receive an order just three days ago to head to the south and then enter Merania.

More than ten other garrisons had also received the same instruction as his.

As the name suggested, the main task of a garrison was to guard, defend, and provide protection to an assigned area. The duty of a garrison was of great significance in maintaining homeland security, especially in a large country like Remdik.

Their troops had never been mobilized as such before.

In fact, when the West Epea Alliance interfered with the warfare in Central Epea a few years ago and threatened the safety of Remdik’s west region, the western war zone in Remdik only mobilized its Deep Sea Army and Sky Army. The rest of the garrisons located in the west had only received a level-two combat readiness alert.

Yet, they were now deployed to the territory of Merania, which was about two thousand kilometers away.

It was a large-scale military mobilization. They belonged to one of the northernmost troops. As for the soldiers from the south, they had already completed the reorganization process while making their way to assemble alongside the rest of the armies.

All in all, everything that was going on clearly indicated that a war was coming.

Giovanni turned around and stared at the others in the command vehicle.

“Relay my order. Everyone is to get as much rest as they possibly can. We’re one of the last teams to report at the war zone, so I’m afraid the war will have already begun by the time we get there. If we all remain tensed up starting now, we won’t be able to last long on the battlefield. Tell everyone to keep their ID cards secure, for that’s a guarantee that we will get to return home after everything is over.”

Giovanni’s tone was soft and gentle, yet the other commanders present felt their hearts sink.

Remdik valued and appreciated heroes. Those who managed to climb up the ladder and become commanders were people who not only reached a certain cultivation level but also earned combat achievements.

Otherwise, no subordinates would show respect to their leaders, no matter how high the latter’s cultivation level was.

The veterans knew exactly what Giovanni meant.

The ID card served only one purpose, which was to ensure that the remains of the soldiers who had died in battle could be identified and sent back to their hometowns.
