Chapter 275 One On One
Both sides were locked in intense combat.
“A report for Mr. Lynch! We’ve defeated the first batch of fighters from Galecrest!”
“A report for Mr. Lynch! We’re breaking into the headquarters!”
+15 BONUS
The soldiers‘ morale grew as news of their successful attack was being announced to Caspian one by one.
“It’s time to go all–out, Mr. Lynch! We can finally defeat Galecrest right here and now!”
Melvin and the heads of the Eight Noble Lineages looked at Caspian with anticipation.
They were all eagerly awaiting his orders for the final attack.
Caspian, however, seemed bored, as if dealing with Galecrest was just a simple matter that wasn’t worth his full attention.
He stared at the Galecrest’s headquarters and coldly exclaimed, “Let’s go have a talk with Cole.
The men were elated as they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
They all followed behind Caspian as they walked into Galecrest’s headquarters.
The building was no longer intact as it faced its worst attack yet.
The morale of the men from Galecrest was at its lowest.
They realized they couldn’t possibly fend off such a huge amount of attackers.
“Sir, we can’t hold on much longer!”
“What are your orders, sir? We can’t possibly continue losing our men like this!”
“We should retreat and escape, sir! It’s still possible right now!”
The crowd within the headquarters was panicking.
They discussed their next course of action as they had lost all morale and reason to fight.
They wanted to flee as they were worried about what would happen if they were caught.
Cole remained seated on his throne as his expression turned for the worse.
The amount of time it took for Galecrest to be defeated was way faster than he had expected.
He couldn’t believe he had lost almost all his men in a mere two hours.
+15 BONUS
Galecrest just couldn’t fight against such a huge alliance.
Cole finally stood up and shouted, “Shut up!”
The headquarters instantly fell silent.
Everyone present lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak another word.
“They won’t be defeating us today! Galecrest will not fall! Don’t even talk about running away. That’s not something we would ever do. Stand tall, my friends. We will face them head–on until we perish!” roared Cole.
Everyone’s expressions immediately sank.
They had been enjoying a carefree life under the protection of Galecrest.
But they now realized that their days were numbered.
Even though they didn’t want to fight to their death, they couldn’t possibly go against a direct order issued by Cole.
Meanwhile, the road leading into Galecrest headquarters was littered with corpses.
A dozen corpses would come into view every time the men took a single step.
It
It was truly a road paved with blood.
The heads of the Eight Noble Lineages were getting goosebumps all over their bodies as they looked at the gruesome scenery.
The air was filled with nothing but the smell of blood.
They noticed that Caspian remained calm and collected as he walked straight ahead as if he had gotten used to seeing such sights.
He had indeed seen an even worse sight, where casualties would pile up to the tens of
thousands.
They couldn’t help but admire and respect Caspian for being able to compose himself.
Everyone had gotten even more curious about Caspian’s true identity.
And they had also gotten more afraid of him at the same time.
Caspian soon finally brought the men to the Boulder Plaza in front of Galecrest headquarters.
Currently, there were still soldiers locked in combat in front of them.
The casualties had been piling up as Galecrest’s men tried to defend their base while retreating.
+15 BONUS
They wanted to escape from the battlefield. Even they could tell that they were at the losing
end.
“The master of Galecrest is here!”
Cole walked out from Galecrest headquarters while his men announced his presence.
Night Shadow quickly followed behind him, along with a hundred elite fighters.
“Mr. Lynch, the leader of the alliance, is here!” Melvin announced Caspian’s presence in response as they walked up to the center of the plaza.
The two figureheads stared at each other with immense killing intent the moment they met.
Cole gritted his teeth in anger. “Caspian!”
Caspian just smiled. “It’s been some time, Cole.”
“Why do you want to eradicate Galecrest, Caspian? What good would the destruction of Galecrest do for you?”
“You still have a chance to surrender, and I shall still spare your life!”
“You’re telling me to surrender?”
The two of them were locked in a verbal confrontation.
Cole had never once thought about surrendering as the master of Galecrest.
“Take a good look around you, Cole. The entirety of Veiled Dragon Bay is painted red with men’s blood. What’s the point of continuing this fight? It’s only going to increase your casualties.
your
“Why don’t we face each other one–on–one instead? I’ll pull back my forces if you win, but if you lose, all of your men will also be eradicated!” explained Caspian.
Caspian decided to offer a chance for a one–on–one fight as he knew Cole wouldn’t surrender.
Cole remained silent for a while before brandishing a huge machete.
His actions had spoken louder than any words could convey.
The huge machete seemed cold and menacing as it glinted.
Caspian, however, remained unarmed as he stood there with his arms folded and without making any movements,
“Let’s have a duel to the death, Caspian. Show me your weapon!” said Cole.
Caspian just smiled. “My fists are more than enough to deal with the likes of you.”
Cole laughed out loud. “What an arrogant bastard! Don’t blame me for being merciless when I
+15 BONUS
He then charged in at Caspian with both hands gripping onto his machete.
He displayed his prowess as an eternal grandmaster who overshadowed the likes of Melvin and the rest of the men.
They were all startled by the immense power Cole exuded, and they all realized the strength and power he had achieved in order to be crowned as the master of Galecrest.
The men all looked back to find Caspian remaining as calm and composed as
Caspian’s hands remained folded at his back while he waited for the incoming attack
He finally smiled as Cole rushed toward him.
Neither an innate or eternal grandmaster could prove to be his opponent after all.
Cole dashed once more and aimed his machete at Caspian’s neck.
Caspian then took on a stance and launched a single blow.
A simple thud echoed throughout the plaza.
Cole was sent flying back to where he once stood, struggling to stabilize himself.
The machete in his hand was somehow trembling.
“How is this possible?”
Cole was frozen from shock as he had always assumed he was the strongest person within Naporia.
Not even Aster and Avery were a match for him.
He quickly realized that he was no match for Caspian.
It only pained him further as he watched Caspian act calm and even look bored of their fight.
