Someone slapped the coffee cup on the ground hard.
In the highest command room of the headquarters of the Punishers, Alron’s face turned livid. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Beneath his feet, the remnants of a delicate ceramic coffee cup lay scattered across the floor.
“Gentlemen, since Eldoria has launched an attack, I declare the War of the Hundred Kingdoms has officially begun.”
“Crestonia, Norvania, Solaria, you will attack the eastern front of the Northern Territory.
“Zexonia, Freiton, Eldoria, you will attack the wester front of the Northern Territory.
“Pretonia, Locraria, Oshium, you will attack the central front of the Northern Territory
Following the conclusion of Almon’s speech, Warriors hailing from the diverse nations promptly pivoted on their heels and departed from the command room
In due course, the ground beneath their feet quivered and trembled as vast legions, comprised of soldiers from various nations, commenced their arduous march towards the Northern Territory,
More than five hundred thousand soldiers were heading towards the Northern Territory
Within the confines of the room, Alron’s countenance remained gloomy and somber, his face adorned with an expression of deep contemplation.
At this pivotal juncture, Ither el, a formidable Warrior hailing from Maritania, interjected, his voice filled with curiosity and concern. “Alron, have you considered deploying the Titan Legion amidst this turmoil?”
Hearing this, Alron said. “The hearts of different races harbor diverse intentions. Let us allow the armies of the other twelve nations to engage in battle initially, thus depleting their strength.
He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on a distant point as if searching for an clusive truth. “Furthermore, I possess an unshakeable intuition that the Northern Territory conceals an exceptionally formidable force.
In response to Alron’s assertion, Itherael emitted a derisive laugh. “It is impossible. Avaloria boasts a mere twelve legions, with the majority stationed in the Eastern, Western, and Southern Territories. The Windfury Legion and the Frostfire Legion alone reside within the Northern Territory”
Itherael continued, his voice tinged with skepticism. The War of the Hundred Kingdoms, as agreed upon, strictly prohibits the utilization of excessive force. The Windfury Legion of Avaloria merely serves as a symbolic presence.”
Taking a deep breath, Alron responded with a sense of cautious hope. “Let us hope that your assessment holds true”
In the highest command room of the Oboutor Center.
Ronald abruptly burst into the chamber, his face etched with an air of solemnity. Accompanying him were Andrew and several other distinguished commanders of the Oboutor Center.
At this moment, all eyes within the room fixated intently upon a colossal screen.
The screen was divided into numerous sections, each displaying a distinct scene.
In the central section of the screen, a squad of soldiers from the esteemed Frostfire Legion engaged in a fierce and brutal conflict with the forces of Eldonia
Blood stained the earth, and every Frostfire Legion soldier fought fearlessly.
They launched attacks on the enemy without regard for their own lives
present.
“Andrew, you?”
Ronald’s voice quivered, his heart stirred with a mixture of trepidation and astonishment.
The man in question was none other than Kevin Hernandez, Andrew’s sole surviving son.
Andrew had already suffered the tragic loss of five of his sons in previous battles.
And the fate of the Cavanaugh family’s lineage now rested solely on Kevin’s shoulders.
As Kevin approached, Andrew waved his hand, “Ronald, I promised to protect the country and the citizens. Fighting for our country is the mission of Eight Clans of Starhaven.”
After Andrew finished speaking, Kevin replied, “Father, I won’t disgrace the Hernandez family or my brothers. I will do my best.”
As he said so, Kevin looked at Ronald with a burning gaze and said, “Kevin from the Cavanaugh family asks to fight for the country, please give orders!”
Ronald nodded firmly and said, “Good. Kevin, lead the Greisal Legion. The Oboutor Center will send ten Warriors with you. Depart for the Northern Territory in three days.”
“Yes, sir.”
Kevin left with the ten Warriors of the Oboutor Center.
Afterward, other commanders left the room one after another.
Buddy, the Hernandez family has sacrificed too much for Avaloria.”
Ronald patted Andrew’s shoulder, expressing deep concern.
x sons, five lost in battle.
Now, the only remaining son was heading to the Northern Territory battlefield.
After a long silence, Andrew sighed, “Compared to the extinction of those six families, the sacrifice of the Hernandez tamily is not worth mentioning”
Ronald’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “The lquxir Center holds great power, but they are too selfish. Otherwise, how could
ve, the glorious Avalona, only have the Froufire Legion guarding the Northem Territory?”
Andrew chuckled self-deprecatingly. “A hundred years ago, the Sixteen Clans of Starhaven went through two Wars of the Hundred Kingdoms Six families perished, and two withdrew from the world in decline, leaving the remaining e

enjoy prosperity.
“But what’s hateful is some people have long forgotten their original intentions”
With Andrew’s words, the room fell into silence.
Ronald looked at the changing screens and thought, “The Cavanaugh family’s young man… Whether he can hold the Northern Territory depends on you.”
In Estery City of Starhaven.
In a magnificent courtyard, an elderly man in traditional attire with gray hair played chess alone.
A loud sound was heard
As the black piece fell, the white pieces were wiped out..
“Mr. Hernandez, your chess skill, have unproved again.”
Edward Hernandez stood nearby and could not help but admire.
“You brat, how come you’ve become so good at flattery after going to Oceanheim?”
Edward chuckled, refraining from commenting
After hesitating for a moment, Robert asked, “Did the youngster go to the Northern Territory?
Edward answered. “Young Mr. Cavanaugh and his Heavenrage Legion arrived at the Northern Territory front line three days
ago.
Robert fell silent after bearing this,
“Charles”
Suddenly, Robert called out to a concealed corner.
A middle-age man in tight white clothes walked out slowly.
“Marshal
“Go to the Northern Territory and protect that young man.”
“Yes, sir, Charles replied solemnly.
Watching Charles walk away, Edward furrowed his brows, sensing an ominous premonition
After hesitating for a moment, Edward quietly left the courtyard.
Robert looked up at the moon, his weathered face marked by the passage of time. “I promised you, I would protect your son before he returned to the Cavanaugh family. But you. You are also my son…”
The next day, the eastern sky turned pale.
A piece of news swept across Avaloria. It was a war filled with lilood and tears.
In the War of the Hundred Kingdoms, the Frostfire Legion, guarding the Northern Territory, lost thirty thousand soldiers overnight.
At the same time,
A video released by the Obor Center spread throughout Avalonia.
Retired soldiers, donning their battle attire, raised their arms in a spirited shout.
“Tanswer the call of the homeland…
“We answer the call of the homeland…”
“The Greisal Legion, go to war!”
The news shook the entire nation.
“When there’s a war, we will answer the call. We will win the battler
“Answer the call instantly, ready to fight. We will win the battlef
“Help me up, go to war. In these sixty years. I’ve never been afraid!”
Scenes like this played out across Avaloria.
The fifteen hundred million citizens of Avaloria followed suit.
“Omegaway Company, donates 200 million dollars,”
“Aprico Group, donates 200 million dollars.”
“Lucentaid Group, donates 10 million dollars”
“United as one, and Avaloria will triumph!”
