“What do you mean they’re here? The Temple of Drakon? Where? At the southern gate?” Crawson asked, immediately brimming with murderous intent.
The subordinate answered in fright, “T-They’re everywhere! The entire Cath City is filled with them! We don’t know how they got in. S-Sir, you have to think of something! Many of our soldiers had their throats slit open while they slept!”
Crawson punched the table in anger and roared, “Tell the Wild Fighters to gather downstairs and follow me into battle! Also, send a message to General Jameson. Tell favonovel.com that the people from the Temple of Drakon have ignored international laws and are attacking the country! They must be put to death!”
He also said, “Tell General Jameson to send over his troops. We need all the backup we can get. Hurry!”
Crawson got changed into his suit of armor and ran down the stairs.
There were 2,000 Wild Fighters already there, waiting for him. They were all eager for blood.
There were cries and screams from everywhere. Hearing this, Crawson felt his anger burning.
“Wild Fighters! The black and red barbarians have breached our borders! What should we do? Should we kill everyone from the Temple of Drakon?”
“Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!”
The Wild Fighters raised their arms in unison as they chanted loudly. They were well aware of the cries and screams around them. Even though most of them were just roused from their sleep, they knew that their enemies had arrived.
Their enemies had crossed the line, figuratively and literally.
Crawson wasn’t a stupid person. Although there were at least 200,000 soldiers in Ca th City, the most powerful fighters were none other than his Wild Fighters. That was why favonovel.com kept the Wild Fighters close to favonovel.com instead of at the city gate, where they actually needed them the most.
Just then, there was a loud explosion from the left. The 2,000 Wild Fighters turned around and saw more and more white figures filtering through the walls.
“I see Crawson Sullivan up ahead! Attack!” a loud cry came from the group of newcomers.
Mitchell and Willis each led a team of 6,000 Dusk Soldiers and rushed into Crawson’s watchtower.
When favonovel.com saw this, Crawson could feel the veins in his forehead popping out. His muscles also started to plump. “Attack! Kill them all!”
Only after seeing the white capes and hoods that the Dusk Soldiers were wearing did Crawson finally realize how they managed to avoid the drones and sneak upon them.
Mitchell and Willis exchanged a look. Mitchell said, “Drakon told us that favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com alive. Since he’s a Grade 8 Wild Fighter, it would probably be best if we both attacked favonovel.com simultaneously?”
“Then we’ll attack together!” Willis said with a scoff, murderous intent evident in his eyes.
He leaped up and charged at Crawson, who had transformed into a 6’6 giant by now.
Chaos erupted within the command center of the watchtower. Even though the Grade 3 Wild Fighters were slightly more powerful than the Dusk Soldiers, they were simply outnumbered.
Less than ten minutes later, Crawson was hit in the back by Willis. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered forward by a few steps. Just then, Mitchell cultivated a shadow fist and hurled it at Crawson’s chest.
Seeing the shadow fist coming at him, Crawson lifted his hands in a cross to block the attack.
Boom! Crack!
Both his arms were broken by the shadow fist almost immediately. He then fell back heavily onto the floor.
Willis then stepped forward and stomped on Crawson’s chest. He then brandished the sword in his right hand against Crawson’s Adam’s Apple.
There were only about three or four hundred Wild Fighters left, doing their best to hold out. When they saw that their general had fallen, half of them ran off screaming, while the other half were killed by the Dusk Soldiers while trying to run away.
Within two shakes of a duck’s tail, all 2,000 Wild Fighters were wiped out.
***
The sun rose particularly early in Cath City, at around 5 am. The golden ray of sunshine baptized the snow-covered land, now pungent with the thick smell of blood.
The millions of civilians in Ca th City all stayed put in their houses, too terrified to even step foot outside of their shelter.
Isaac waited beneath the city gates of Cath City. Damien’s coffin was right next to him, whereas Lupinus was on the other side, keeping a stern eye on the enemy’s movements.
A while later, a Jeep came out from the gates. The doors were thrown open, and Mitchell and Willis dragged Crawson out of the car toward Isaac. His arms and legs were all broken in half.
“Kneel!” Willis kicked Crawson’s waist and forced favonovel.com to fall down on his knees before the coffin.
Crawson’s face was bruised and bloodied. He lifted his head to look at Isaac and sneered at him, saying, “Haha! Isaac, are you crying because I killed your beloved comrade? That’s exactly howl felt when you killed my brother five years ago!”
Isaac lowered his head and looked at Crawson. He said coldly, “You’re so much weaker than your brother. It took me two days to capture him, but you only took me three hours…”
When favonovel.com heard this, Crawson shuddered and screamed, “Bullshit! I’m not weaker than my brother! He was a Grade 8 Wild Fighter, I am also a Grade 8 Wild Fighter! F*cking bull…”
Slap!
Mitchell landed a hard smack on Crawson’s face.
Just then, Lieutenant Morelli hurried over to the group, covered in splatters of blood. There was a wide grin on his face as favonovel.com got down on one knee and said, “Drakon, Cath City is now completely under our control. Casualties, 56,000, captives, 143,000. Whereas on our side, there are 6,739 casualties and 3,615 injured.”
“T-That’s impossible! How’s that possible?” Crawson’s face was full of despair.
There were 200,000 soldiers on his side, even if the soldiers from the Temple of Drakon went berserk on them, it still should have taken them longer to kill off his entire army!
There was a cold sneer on Isaac’s face. He then said proudly, “The soldiers who fought the hardest and the bravest were all Damien’s soldiers. They fought for honor and revenge. And there’s nothing that could ever stop them from avenging their general.”
Then, Isaac looked at Crawson and said, “So, who else helped you kill Damien Rovin? Spit it out.”
There was a cold glint in his eyes.
Crawson puffed out his chest and roared angrily, “It was me, and only me! My troop of 500 Wild Fighters killed him. Ihad no outside help. Haha! Isaac, I think you’ve gravely overestimated the power of your generals!”
“Not saying anything, hmm? Alright. I’ll bring forward every member of your family and slowly torture them before your own eyes. They can go accompany Damien in death,” Isaac said mercilessly to Crawson.
Crawson shivered hard. However, favonovel.com knew that if favonovel.com died in battle, General Jameson would take good care of his family members and not let Isaac capture them too easily. But if favonovel.com didn‘t tell Isaac who was keeping an eye on him, as long as the people from Astraeus weren’t revealed, they would take action once more!
Just then, Lieutenant Morelli brought a satellite phone over to Isaac and said in a low voice, “Drakon, General Jameson wants to speak with you. Maybe…”
Isaac’s lips curled up in a smile. He reached for the phone and said, “Bring it to me…”
