Ch. 2741..2750
Chapter 2741 Change The Commander
“So that was what happened! Even though the Erudia army was retreating at first, they changed their tactic and fought against us instead. They were even harassing us in front just now. Their objective was to evacuate Jipsdale!”
The Lab of Gods quickly understood.
They were merely guarding an empty city that was of no use to them.
They couldn’t use it to intimidate anyone!
Even though they were outraged by that, there was nothing they could do.
“Continue our attack! As long as we manage to pass through Jipsdale, it would be much easier for us to attack! Charge!”
Levi and the others were deep in discussion at the tenth defense barrier when they suddenly received news that the Lab of Gods’ army was charging over.
The enemy was advancing much faster than they had expected!
Everyone looked toward Levi, expecting him to order a retreat.
“Commander, please think of something! We can’t just keep retreating! We need to think of a more effective way to deal with it!”
“That’s right! We are already at the tenth defense barrier! The defense barriers in front were safe as they were situated on the ocean. However, our countries would be affected if we retreat further. That would mean giving up on one allied power for each defense barrier we retreat to!”
“Even though we managed to successfully evacuate Jipsdale, we can’t possibly do the same to dozens of other countries, right? Where can we possibly evacuate everyone to?”
Everyone began discussing among themselves.
Indeed, even though Levi did come up with some good ideas, they were just temporarily useful and not enough to hold the enemy back forever.
Their enemy was simply too strong.
Furthermore, Levi had already run out of ideas, and the only thing the army could do was to retreat.
That struck fear in everyone’s hearts.
Most of the men were starting to feel that Levi was not good enough to take the position of commander.
Even though Levi was indeed capable, he was unable to come up with solutions during crucial moments.
As such, perhaps changing the commander would be a better choice.
In fact, that was what the majority of the men wanted.
Meanwhile, Levi had a deep crease between his brows as he continued thinking of a solution.
He was wondering how they could get Sacroria to show up.
Judging by the current situation, unless the Lab of Gods suffered a huge blow or the enemy’s army was completely defeated, it was impossible for Sacroria to take action.
Levi understood that if he did not step up and show their trump card, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Lab of Gods.
Even if they gathered all members of the alliance, it would still be useless, and most of them would end up sacrificing their lives.
However, the situation might change if Zarain joined their alliance.
Levi knew that Zarain had powerful forces, even though he was not sure of the extent of it.
However, Zarain had made a clear stance that the country would neither surrender nor join any alliances.
Since getting help from Zarain was not possible, Levi had to think of other options.
But since he was unable to come up with any good ideas yet, he could only order his troops to retreat when faced with the Lab of Gods’ army.
Levi had considered the situation much more thoroughly than the others.
No doubt, the only way to defeat the Lab of Gods was to follow Levi’s lead.
Apart from Levi, no one else knew how the Lab of Gods was structured and that the true power of the Lab of Gods lay in Sacroria.
“Commander, have you thought of a solution yet? Are we really just going to continue retreating?”
“Exactly! Should we just gather all our forces and face them head-on?”
Everyone fixed their gazes on Levi, waiting for his reply.
“Retreat! We will just leave some troops behind to try and deplete the enemy’s energy and resources! We will also bury some landmines underground at our defense barrier so that they would explode when the Lab of Gods’ army arrive!”
Levi gave his orders.
When everyone heard the word “retreat”, looks of disappointment appeared on their faces.
They had given Levi repeated chances to come up with a way. However, although the troops were already at the tenth defense barrier, the man was still unable to think of a solution.
All the army was doing was retreating.
Because of that, everyone was starting to lose confidence in Levi.
The lieutenants quickly gathered everyone and discussed privately.
“Should we suggest changing the commander? It seems like Levi is not fit for the task!”
Chapter 2742 Continue To Retreat
Initially, the army was still able to understand the reasons for retreating.
However, the men could not help but feel disappointed when the situation seemed to be continuing indefinitely.
Although they were already retreating to the eleventh defense barrier, Levi still did not seem to have any plans other than to continue retreating and harassing the enemy’s troops.
That was hugely distressing to everyone.
If the commander was unable to come up with a solution, there was no use keeping him!
Whoever was able to solve the imminent problem should be the commander instead!
A leader was one who knew the way and showed the way.
It seemed like Levi’s abilities were just good enough for him to be a military strategist and not a commander.
“I think Levi is more suitable to join the strategy team and contribute ideas as a military strategist. We should elect a new commander instead!”
“How about this? Let’s submit a petition first, since it’ll take some time for a decision to be made. By then, we’ll probably have retreated even more under Levi’s leadership!”
“That’s right! He’s totally at a loss now. All he does is to order us to retreat! Since the situation doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, we should just petition for a change of commander now! Is everyone agreeable to that? Those who agree, let’s do it together!”
Meanwhile, Levi was completely unaware that most of the lieutenants had submitted a joint petition for a change of commander.
The man was still thinking hard for a solution to lure Sacroria out.
The alliance had already abandoned the tenth defense barrier.
Very soon, the Lab of Gods’ army would be pursuing their retreating forces.
Boom!
However, the landmines that Levi had planted exploded at that instant, causing a huge toll on the Lab of Gods’ army.
However, the impact from the explosion was still not severe enough to inflict substantial damage to the enemy.
Next up would be the eleventh defense barrier, also the most important defense barrier as it connected seven nations.
If the army was not able to hold up that defense barrier, those seven nations would be in danger. It would be equivalent to opening their doors and inviting the Lab of Gods’ army in.
If that happened, the Lab of Gods would suddenly have seven more options to choose from.
There was no way that the alliance would be able to defend those seven nations simultaneously.
All seven nations would end up in peril.
That was not an outcome anyone wanted.
After all, everyone in Jipsdale had been evacuated to those seven nations.
It was not a solution to evacuate the countries endlessly.
Besides, it had already taken so much effort to evacuate Jipsdale, which was a relatively small nation.
Given the size of those seven larger countries, it would take substantially more effort to evacuate.
Moreover, evacuating the seven nations would mean opening up another dozens of countries for the Lab of Gods to attack.
As such, guarding the eleventh defense barrier was of utmost importance.
It was simply not an option to lose that line of defense.
The enemy breaking through the eleventh defense barrier would mean that the alliance had lost one-third of the battle!
If the alliance also lost control of the seven nations that the eleventh defense barrier connected, they would have lost half the battle.
Theoretically, it would also mean that they were guaranteed to lose the battle.
As such, everyone was in favor of engaging in a battle of life-or-death at the eleventh defense barrier.
It would be the best outcome if they could win.
If they lost, they would also accept the defeat.
No matter what, the alliance was adamant not to give the eleventh defense barrier up.
However, the lieutenants seemed to have figured out Levi’s strategy.
Most likely, he would still not be able to come up with a solution.
He would probably choose to give the eleventh defense barrier up and evacuate the seven nations, exactly like what he did at the tenth defense barrier.
The lieutenants were sure that there was nothing Levi could do about it.
He would not face the Lab of Gods head-on, and other than sending troops to harass the enemy, there was nothing Levi could do.
Indeed, after retreating to the eleventh defense barrier, Levi did not give orders for the army to fight to their death there.
Instead, he told everyone to stand by and wait for his orders.
Judging by the situation, it was very likely that Levi would give orders to retreat once again.
It was just like what everyone had expected.
While observing the Lab of Gods’ movements, the lieutenants keenly waited for the decision from the higher-ups on whether or not to change the commander.
Levi was also hesitating.
He understood the importance of the eleventh defense barrier and was wondering if he should gather all forces and go all out in a life-or-death battle or if there were other solutions…
For example, continue retreating and think of other plans…
Chapter 2743 Questioning
Soon after, the Lab of Gods’ army passed through Jipsdale and were advancing closer to the eleventh defense barrier.
In fact, both Levi and the Lab of Gods were testing waters, and both parties had similar objectives.
While Levi was thinking of a plan to lure Sacroria out, the Lab of Gods had been attacking full force in order to force the two mysterious entities of Erudia to show up, if they existed, of course.
However, it was clear that the Lab of Gods had an advantage.
They were advancing in such an aggressive manner that threw the alliance into a state of panic.
If the same situation continued, it was just a matter of time before the two mysterious entities of Erudia would be forced to show up.
But Levi was still at a loss for solutions.
“Sacroria has ordered us to break through their eleventh defense barrier no matter what! This is absolutely crucial! The enemy is expected to put up a fierce fight there. It would be an ultimate battle! Sacroria hopes that we can take over their eleventh defense barrier without their retaliation.”
Meanwhile, the Lab of Gods had received orders to launch an aggressive attack at the eleventh defense barrier.
It would be a crucial battle!
Only after breaking through the eleventh defense barrier would they be able to force the two mysterious entities of Erudia to show up.
As such, Mr. X was personally supervising the battle.
It was time for the Lab of Gods to unleash its full powers in that pivotal battle.
Very soon, Mr. X arrived together with a fighter and had brought along some powerful weapons with him.
Besides the vanguard of the Lab of Gods’ army, the other troops had also started to gather.
The Lab of Gods were in no hurry to attack as they had to first amass all their forces before engaging in the ultimate battle!
The atmosphere was filled with tension at the impending battle.
The indescribable sense of oppression in the air was felt most by the soldiers of the alliance who were guarding the eleventh defense barrier.
Everyone was discussing the matter while feeling unsettled.
While the enemy was actively making preparations for the clash, there were no movements on their side.
Naturally, that caused the soldiers to panic.
“What’s going on with our commander?”
“Has he not come up with a solution yet? The enemy is already at our doorstep!”
“Could he be thinking of retreating again? We’re all going to die if he continues doing that!”
“I don’t think he’s fit to be our commander. We should get someone else to do it instead!”
“It seems like a lot of people are upset with him!”
Right before the ultimate battle was about to break out, voices of dissatisfaction about Levi’s leadership could be heard all around.
Almost everyone in the alliance was talking about it.
After all, the alliance was a combination of forces from various countries and did not consist solely of Erudia’s soldiers.
Members of the alliance who were not from Erudia would not be devoted to Levi as they were not aware of the man’s huge contributions to Erudia, saving the country time after time.
They were only certain of what they had experienced, which was that Levi was unable to come up with solutions and was incapable of leading them.
If that was the case, the leader of the alliance had to be changed!
Displeasure among the lieutenants was even greater than that among soldiers.
Negative emotions were running high.
They were just one step away from speaking to Levi directly.
“I bet Levi intends to continue his retreating strategy. He will abandon the eleventh defense barrier and evacuate the seven nations behind us!” one of the lieutenants said.
“That’s for sure! Anyway, those seven nations and the eleventh defense barrier don’t really concern him. Even if we lost them, Levi and Erudia wouldn’t suffer any losses!”
“Yup, that’s right! Levi only cares about Erudia and nothing else. He’s simply using our nations and people as guinea pigs and sacrificial objects! If Erudia is directly affected, I’m sure he wouldn’t order us to retreat but would fight it out with the enemy instead!”
“Exactly! Of course he won’t be panicking. It’s our men and forces that we are losing now, not Erudia’s!”
“We can’t continue sacrificing our countries and people to buy him time to come up with a solution!”
“No matter what, we must protect the eleventh defense barrier! We will lose the battle for sure if we give it up!”
The lieutenants took turns to express their dissatisfactions.
“Let’s go! We need to ask Levi what his plan is.”
“Yup! Even if he hasn’t made up his mind yet, we need to force a decision out of him!”
Very quickly, the dozens of lieutenants came to a consensus.
They headed toward the command center where Levi was to question him on his decision.
Chapter 2744 What Sacroria Is Wary About
Looking at the dozens of lieutenants who had just rushed over, Levi was stunned.
He was still researching and thinking of a solution, while waiting for updates.
The Lab of Gods must have planted undercover spies at their side.
Naturally, Levi would send some spies to infiltrate the enemy’s camp too.
He was waiting for updates from these spies.
His decision would be made according to the circumstances on the ground.
He did not expect the lieutenants to be so impatient as to rush over to interrogate him.
“Commander, Diviniteria’s troops are gathering their forces. We’ve only encountered their vanguard earlier. Now that their troops are convening together, they’ll be at their most powerful. Soon, they’ll break through the eleventh defense barrier! What is your plan? We’re panicking now! Please, come up with a plan so we can prepare quickly!” demanded the rest as they stared at Levi intently.
However, Levi merely frowned. “Well… I haven’t decided yet. I need to wait for a while.”
He was still waiting for more news before coming up with a more specific plan.
After all, since the Lab of Gods was making such a huge move, there was definitely something else behind it.
Perhaps, they might have news about Sacroria.
“Huh? You haven’t decided?”
Everyone was surprised.
“They are knocking right on our doors, yet you haven’t decided? The Lab of Gods is going to attack soon. Actually, it’s already too late for us to make preparations now. It’s really not ideal that you haven’t made a decision. Furthermore, the eleventh defense barrier is very important. The seven nations behind us have already decided that they will neither give in nor retreat.”
Everyone started to analyze the current situation, so they could pressurize Levi.
“Commander, based on our collective opinions, it’s best if we concentrate all of the allied forces at the eleventh defense barrier. Let it be the defining battle with the Lab of Gods. We’re all in this together! Even if we lose, no one will have any complaints. After all, there’s a huge gap in strengths.”
“Yeah! Everyone’s united together. We aren’t a single nation—we’re an alliance! Looking at this current situation, we must not give up on our seven allies behind us.”
“Shall we fight, Commander?”
“Shall we?”
Everyone was pressurizing Levi to go ahead with this fight to the death.
However, he frowned.
“Let’s wait first. Give me half an hour.”
Levi instructed everyone to leave.
They left, but continued surrounding the command center that Levi was in.
As they waited eagerly for his final decision, time ticked by.
When half an hour had almost passed, Levi received news from his spies.
“Huh? The Lab of Gods is wary about two mysterious entities from Erudia, to the extent that Sacroria is still reluctant to reveal himself? In fact, Sacroria’ existence is to prepare for the two mysterious entities!”
When Levi finally received the message, he understood everything.
Both parties were testing the grounds, including the Lab of Gods.
The Leviathan was also meant to test these two mysterious entities in Erudia.
However, according to intel, these two mysterious entities might not even exist.
Still, Sacroria was still wary about them.
These clues make things much easier.
Levi smiled.
The next step was to clarify with the Dragonites and The Cardinal Hall what those two mysterious entities were, and whether they existed.
It would be better if they existed. That way, they would have a higher chance against the Lab of Gods and Sacroria.
If they did not exist, he would think of a way to lure Sacroria out.
That was the other solution.
However, it was good now that they were on the right track.
As time was needed to make preparations, they must not engage in the next battle.
They had to minimize any casualties and deaths.
“Hear my orders!”
Soon, the lieutenants entered and stared at Levi intently, waiting for his decision.
“Relay my orders. Give up on the eleventh defense barrier! Tell the seven nations behind us to retreat.”
Chapter 2745 You Will Not Be The Commander Soon
When Levi said that, everyone fell dead silent.
Is this it? They had waited for half an hour, thinking that Levi was going to mobilize the forces for this final battle.
They were almost howling in excitement, but it turned out that they were instructed to retreat.
After pressurizing Levi and giving him half an hour to think about it, that was his decision.
He even wanted the seven nations behind them to leave like Jipsdale.
This… This…
Everyone was dumbstruck. After waiting for so long, that was the outcome.
The dozens of lieutenants stood paralyzed on the ground.
A long time passed, but they did not leave. Instead, they stared at Levi fixedly.
“Huh? Why are you all still in a daze? Carry out your tasks now! Didn’t I make myself clear?” asked Levi as he gazed back at them.
However, everyone merely stood there quietly, their eyes widened in shock.
“Huh? What happened?” Levi asked again.
No one replied.
The venue was dead silent.
None of them left to carry out Levi’s orders.
“What are you doing? Speak!” bellowed Levi furiously.
“I’m sorry, Commander. We cannot accept your decision!”
The lieutenant from Xyperia was the first to step forward.
“Yeah! We cannot accept this. The eleventh defense barrier is critically important! We must not give up on it. The seven nations behind us must not retreat either.”
“We must engage in a battle of life-or-death at the eleventh defense barrier!”
Everyone looked at Levi simultaneously. “Commander, please give the orders to let the allied forces battle it out at the eleventh defense barrier!”
“Commander, please give the orders to let us fight to the death at the eleventh defense barrier!” yelled everyone in unison.
They were not requesting Levi to do it—instead, they were forcing Levi to issue the command for the last battle.
Levi felt angry upon being pressured by them.
“Don’t you understand what I said? I’m instructing you to pull the troops back! Am I the commander, or are you the commander? Are you refusing to acknowledge me as your commander anymore?” scolded Levi.
“If you still treat me as your commander, obey my orders and fulfil the task that I’ve assigned you. I promise that I’ll attain victory at the least possible cost.”
He was right.
If they obeyed Levi’s plan to keep retreating, they could minimize any casualties.
“At the count of three, get lost and carry out your tasks! Otherwise, you’ll be disobeying my orders and I’ll act according to the military law!” shouted Levi.
However, no one budged.
They said simultaneously, “If you issue the command to fight to the death, we’ll still treat you as the commander. We’ll respect you and obey your orders. However, if you instruct us to retreat, we’re sorry that we cannot follow your orders. We’ll also stop treating you as our commander.”
“Yeah! Our commander is supposed to be useful at the most critical juncture. He is supposed to lead us in the last battle, not to keep retreating.”
“Battling the enemy is not only Erudia’s own matter—it concerns everyone in the allied forces! You cannot win time for Erudia by using our losses.”
“We want a fair and just commander, not someone who would be prejudiced toward a particular nation. He is supposed to treat every nation as his own.”
“You cannot keep retreating and shying away from battles just for Erudia’s sake!”
Everyone vented the frustrations and dissatisfactions that they had been hiding.
Levi laughed. “Are all of you really going to stop acknowledging me as your commander? Are you going to start a revolt? Still, I still have the final say in things. I’m the commander, so all of you must obey me. Regardless of what instructions I give, you have to carry them out! The moment you disobey my orders, you’d be breaking the rules. In that case, I’ll have to punish you.”
“You’re right. The commander has the highest position among us all, so we have to listen to the commander. However, you’ll not be the commander soon!” everyone replied.
Levi frowned. “What do you mean?”
Chapter 2746 Invitation From The Headquarters
He had an unsettling feeling.
These foolish men are going to ruin the plan and kick up a huge fuss.
If they want to change the commander, it’ll be a huge problem.
It looks like these dumbasses are actually planning to do that.
“We’ve already signed a petition to request for a change in commander a long time ago. However, we have been monitoring your performance all along. If did a good job, you can continue being the commander. Yet, we’ve been disappointed every time.”
“When you were faced with the enemy, you always failed to think of a good solution. All you know is to keep harassing and retreating. You have no concrete plans! We’ve already lost ten of our defense barriers, but you are still at a loss for solutions. This proves that you are helpless against the Lab of Gods. In the face of absolute power, any tricks or plots are useless. We can only fight them with our brute force.”
Everyone spoke up heatedly, even mentioning that they were going to change the commander.
“We’re not denying your ability to lead us as the commander. We were all very impressed by you previously. However, since you are still unable to think of a solution during such a critical moment, we have no choice but to replace you with someone more capable.”
Levi protested anxiously, “Believe me! Everything’s under my control. I just need some time! However, I can promise that any injuries or losses will be minimized. I’ll try my best to avoid harming any of the nations. Trust me, I’ve got everything under control. People who understand me would know that I’ll never rush into a fight unprepared.”
Some people were convinced when Levi said that.
After all, there were quite some people who had interacted with Levi before and understood him well.
They hesitated upon hearing his words.
Should we trust Levi? What if he has a solution? If we strip him of his commander position recklessly, we might suffer a huge loss.
“I don’t care if you have a solution or not. I just want to ask if you can guard the eleventh defense barrier and the seven nations behind us,” said one of them directly.
The person did not care about that many things, nor was he willing to listen to all those nonsenses. Everyone knew how to bluff, but the priority was whether the immediate dilemma could be solved.
Everyone focused their gazes at Levi when that person asked that.
As long as Levi’s plan could protect the defense barrier, everyone would still be willing to follow his lead.
However, Levi shook his head. “I’m sorry, but it’ll have to fall. I still need some time! Hence, we have to give up on the eleventh defense barrier and the seven nations behind. However, we’ll reclaim control over them very quickly!”
Everyone was disappointed upon hearing what he said.
At such a critical moment, they could not wait idly anymore.
That battle had to be fought.
If Levi kept trying to evade the conflict, no one would support him.
They received news that the Lab of Gods would attack five or six hours later.
That was an extremely short period of time.
After all, the allied forces needed time to prepare if they had to set themselves up for a battle.
The superweapons had to be transported over as well.
Gazing at everyone, Levi laughed and said, “Now, I’m still the commander. All of you have to obey me, even if you’re unwilling to. Any troublemakers will be detained immediately!”
A commotion broke out immediately after he spoke.
The lieutenants were all scared.
No matter what, Levi was still the commander, so he had the power and authority to take charge of everything.
It was of no benefit to them if they disobeyed his orders.
“Someone, come here!”
When Levi issued the command, his most loyal subordinates rushed over.
“If anyone disobeys my orders, lock the person up immediately. As the commander, I have the power to do that.”
“Understood!”
Levi swept his gaze across the rest. “Even if you are unwilling to follow my orders, you must still be accountable to me.”
Just when everyone was feeling indecisive, Levi suddenly received a video call invitation from the headquarters.
The headquarters consisted of the Dragonites and organizations from various nations.
Now that they were having a video conference, Levi felt a hint of unease.
However, he still accepted the video call invitation.
Chapter 2747 The Titan Lord
All the leaders were present in the video call.
Max was the representative for Erudia.
“Commander, we invited you to this video conference to discuss the reappointment of the commander. The armies of Diviniteria are gathering and will launch an attack soon. The allied forces must guard the most critical defense barrier. Are you still out of ideas? Are you still going to retreat?” asked Craig on behalf of everyone else.
Levi nodded. “According to my plan, we have to retreat for now. This isn’t the time to engage in a life-or-death battle with Diviniteria.”
“Understood.”
On the other side of the video call, a huge outroar broke out as people talked over each other.
Looks of disappointment appeared on their faces.
Everyone was still in disbelief when they received so many lieutenants’ requests to change the commander, so they wanted to ask Levi personally. Yet, this was the outcome.
He did not have any good solutions to deal with Diviniteria—in fact, he had no solutions at all.
Instead, he kept delaying it.
No one could afford to waste any more time.
“If that’s the case, I suggest that we change the commander to someone who’s more capable. For the sake of fairness, let’s cast a vote.”
“Sure! Raise your hand if you agree to change the commander.”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The representatives raised their hands one after the other.
Other than Craig and the other representatives who were on good terms with Erudia, most of them raised their hands in agreement to change the commander.
“The outcome is obvious. Levi will no longer serve as the commander! However, he can join the strategy team as a military strategist.”
Craig announced the results.
“Yeah, Levi can join the strategy team. That’s the most suitable place for him. I agree with this suggestion!”
“I agree too!”
The majority agreed to let Levi join the strategy team as a military strategist.
Another candidate would be appointed as the commander instead.
When the lieutenants in the command center saw that Levi had been stripped of his position as the commander, they almost cheered in celebration.
This is great!
After losing his title as the commander, Levi was still relatively calm.
He had already expected this outcome when he received the invitation to the video conference.
However, he was helpless to do anything.
This bunch of fools! There’ll be so many casualties later.
The representatives on the other end were starting to nominate the new commander.
There were a total of six candidates.
The commander was chosen by voting.
Eventually, they decided to appoint the Titan Lord of Xyperia, Lovski, to be the next commander.
He was the next best choice apart from Levi.
More importantly, he was extremely skilled in fighting.
In fact, he got his nickname as the Titan Lord due to his impeccable skills.
Soon, the Titan Lord, who was almost two meters tall, arrived with his subordinates.
The lieutenants bowed to him.
Looking at Levi, the Titan Lord reassured him, “Don’t be angry, Crown King from Erudia. You’ll still be part of my strategy team as the primary military strategist. There are many things that I’ll have to consult you about!”
Levi chuckled. “In that case, I’d advise you to give up on the eleventh defense barrier and the seven nations behind. Retreat immediately!”
Titan Lord busts out laughing upon hearing that. He mocked, “Looks like you haven’t realized your own mistake, Crown King. You haven’t understood why you were replaced.”
Ignoring Levi, he announced to the lieutenants, “Relay my orders! All of the allied forces’ troops, weapons, equipment, and trump cards shall be concentrated at the eleventh defense barrier as quickly as possible. We don’t have much time left, so we need to hurry up! Before the Diviniteria troops attack, all preparations must be done. I am determined to fight to the death at the eleventh defense barrier with Diviniteria. We have no other options—the only way is to face this battle head-on!”
The lieutenants were excited after hearing the Titan Lord’s commands.
“Yes, Commander!”
“Yes, Commander!”
Chapter 2748 Levi Becomes The Military Strategist
“A fight to the death!”
“A fight to the death!”
Everyone pumped their fists in the air and cheered.
The lieutenants were all hot-blooded warriors, courageous in the face of war.
They did not fear death at all—in fact, they wished to die on the battlefield.
They howled like wolves.
Levi’s consistent retreats had driven them mad.
They thought that he was too conservative. The fight that they had put up was so humiliating that their grievances toward Levi piled up.
On the other hand, the Titan Lord was the type to rush into a battle directly, using nothing but brute strength.
Everyone started becoming restless the moment he issued his command.
They had all been won over by his charisma, utterly convinced by him.
This was the commander they wanted!
Although he did not have a solution for this situation, he was willing to fight to the death.
Although Diviniteria was very powerful, the allied forces were equally strong too.
There was no need to fear.
“We’ll carry out your orders right away!”
The lieutenants went to make preparations eagerly.
Before they left, they shot Levi a meaningful look.
He did not know what they were trying to say.
Perhaps, there was a hint of mockery involved. Look at him, then look at yourself!
After the lieutenants announced to the warriors that they were going to fight to the death, everyone erupted into an uproar.
They could feel the blood and adrenaline rushing through their veins.
Under Levi’s leadership, they had been suppressing themselves.
Now that they could finally battle it out once and for all, they all cheered in the Titan Lord’s name.
It was as if everyone had gone mad.
After receiving his orders, the allied forces started to send their more elite warriors and weapons over.
Erudia also sent their best equipment and strongest soldiers over, including all the most powerful weapons.
When the allied forces were established, everyone promised to not hide anything.
In an instant, the nations started transporting everything they had to the eleventh defense barrier.
It was an astonishing and intimidating scene.
The Titan Lord was quite capable too. He not only looked at the large picture, but also paid attention to the meticulous details.
While analyzing the enemies’ troops, he started setting up the firepower of his side.
He even asked Levi to come up with some ideas, such as how to attack and defend.
Levi had no choice but to help the Titan Lord.
He devised multiple battle plans and included the Maya Industries and Sacred Organizations within them.
That would increase their chances of victory, while minimizing casualties.
Soon, Levi, alongside the strategy team and the Titan Lord, finished preparing the battle plan.
After the allied forces’ warriors and weapons arrived, they were all deployed to their respective positions.
Levi left after finishing everything.
Even though he had lost his position as the commander and it would be less convenient to do things, he still had to take action.
His first step was to rush back to Erudia and ask the Dragonites and The Cardinal Hall about the two mysterious entities.
He wanted to ascertain if it was true.
Soon after Levi left, the Titan Lord was informed about it.
“What? The primary military strategist has disappeared? I bet that he’s so scared of dying that he’s unwilling to stay on the front lines.”
“That’s possible! Otherwise, why would he keep retreating when he was still the commander?”
“Yeah! I realized a long time ago that he was the fastest to run away every time. Till now, Levi has never come face-to-face with the Lab of Gods!”
Everyone voiced out their opinions, thinking that Levi did not dare to stay at the front lines because he was afraid of dying.
Titan Lord scoffed coldly. “It doesn’t matter anymore. Well, he has a knack for war. The four combat tactics that he devised for us are amazing. Since we want him primarily for his battle tactics, his absence doesn’t matter anymore. He’s not the one commanding, anyway!”
“Yeah! With you leading us, we’ll definitely win.”
The allied forces acted quickly. Soon, everyone’s trump cards arrived and were directed to the positions that the Titan Lord had prepared for them.
All they had to do was to wait for the Diviniteria troops and prepare to fight to their deaths!
Chapter 2749 Finding The Answer
At first, everyone had heard of how powerful Diviniteria was.
If the battle was lost, then the entire world would be doomed.
Truth was, everyone still feared Diviniteria.
After all, they were way too strong.
Moreover, Levi and his men were running out of ideas.
Even those who came as backup feared Diviniteria.
However, ever since arriving there, they realized their powers were incredibly powerful as allies.
It was a mind-blowing sight the second when over ten countries revealed their trump cards.
The number of soldiers, weapons, and other forms of support were just too great.
Most importantly, every organization was willing to go all out this time, revealing everything that they had.
With all their resources combined, it seemed as though they had a hundred times more resources than the opponent in every aspect.
Perhaps their quality was not on a par with the opponent’s, but they were way ahead in terms of numbers.
Seeing the eleventh defense barrier that was reinforced with over ten operating bases, everyone felt extremely relieved.
Their fear toward Diviniteria had vanished in an instant.
Truth was, their fear came from the lack of firepower.
And now, they had more than enough, to the point that it was a little scary.
Even Lovski was shocked by the news.
He had never fought a battle where he was on the wealthy end.
With all these resources, he feared nothing.
Nonetheless, he was still puzzled about something. He did not understand what was Levi afraid of when the alliance had made them so strong. Why isn’t he starting the battle?
Everyone was in shock as soon as they found out how powerful the alliance was.
No one expected their powers to be so great.
Soon, the Lab of Gods received the news, and they, too, got the shock of their lives.
“Usually, they’ll hold back on revealing their powers. Looks like they’re bringing out everything they’ve got now that they’re in danger. With the alliance, the opponent is now way stronger than before. Especially when the Titan Lord from Xyperia has replaced Levi as the commander!” said someone.
Everyone in Lab of Gods was filled with horror, seeing how powerful the alliance was.
It was more powerful than they had expected.
Suddenly, Mr. X laughed. “This is great! It’s really great! Levi’s position as the commander is changed! This is great news! Although Levi keeps making his army retreat, his little disturbances have caused us a lot of damage. Most importantly, we’ve already made such a huge loss when we didn’t even see him in person. Besides, I know he has more schemes up his sleeves. Even if we win in the end, we’ll definitely have suffered a lot under Levi’s hands. We’ll even lose many soldiers.”
His eyes lit up. “We’re not afraid of battling against the alliance. To be specific, we’ve been dreaming of them gathering all their power to fight with us. It’s just that our dream just didn’t come true. And now, Levi’s position as the commander is finally changed! Heaven must be helping me. Lovski has always been a belligerent person. He’ll definitely put in his all to fight with us. This is just great!”
After finding out the commander had changed, everyone started to laugh.
Their only fear was that the alliance would not fight with them.
And now, it was sorted out.
“We’re almost done gathering our forces, right?” Mr. X asked.
“Yes. They’re all gathered!”
“Okay. Wait for my orders to attack. I’m going to report the situation to Sacroria and get their decision on this.”
Both parties were done preparing themselves.
A massive battle was about to erupt.
In fact, it would be the battle of the century that no one had ever seen.
All the parties except for Zarain, which had the least number of warriors, had sent out every manpower they had.
Meanwhile, as soon as Levi rushed over to Erudia, he gathered the four top members of Dragonites, Daxon of The Cardinal Hall, and other powerful people.
“Aren’t you supposed to be the military strategist at the front line? The battle is about to begin! Why are you still here?” someone among the crowd asked, curious.
“The frontline doesn’t need me anymore. Hence, I’m going to deal with my own matters,” Levi answered.
His words left everyone staring at him in confusion.
Levi quickly continued, “My purpose of gathering all of you here is to ask a question…”
Chapter 2750 The Two Mysterious Entities
“Huh? What’s the question?”
“Tell us quickly. I’m curious already.”
Everyone’s curious gazes were fixated on Levi.
“I heard there are two legendary entities in Erudia. Apparently, they’re above everything and are incredibly powerful. In fact, they’re so powerful that even Lab of Gods is afraid of them.” Levi glanced at the crowd and asked, “So, does everyone know of these legendary entities?”
“Well…” The top members of Dragonites were at a loss.
It was apparent that they did not know about it.
After all, they were from the modern era instead of the older ones.
If a person did not have the habit of intentionally reading up some archives, they would not know of those two existences.
Surprisingly, grim expressions appeared on the faces of Daxon and several other people.
“I’ve heard a bit of the two mysterious entities, but it’s not much since it’s just the legend. Apparently, they’re clerics of Xenhall or something. And their cultivation skills are incredible, so powerful that they seem to be gods. But then, it’s all based on the legend. I don’t really know much. Generally speaking, it shouldn’t be real since it’s just a legend. Besides, the legend has existed for so long. It’s impossible for them to not leave any traces behind,” muttered Daxon.
Nonetheless, Levi believed in this kind of legend.
There seemed to be no other explanation for his mentor.
He should be more powerful than everyone in this world, right? He might just be one of the two mysterious entities. This is definitely a possibility.
“Anyway, I think The Manifest Court should know something about this. We can ask them,” Daxon suggested.
It was true.
There was a possibility that The Manifest Court knew more about it than him.
“Since this is important, we’ll go through the archives right away. Perhaps we could find some clues.” The other top members of Dragonites were willing to help out.
After that, Levi immediately followed Daxon to The Cardinal Hall to meet The Manifest Court.
They were going to ask them about the two mysterious entities of Erudia.
When The Manifest Court heard Levi’s question, they fell into a deep thought.
The silence remained for a long time, which left Levi shocked.
It was obvious that The Manifest Court knew about it.
So this is what they’re afraid of! They, too, are omniscient. I can’t believe they knew about this as well.
After a long silence, The Manifest Court finally responded, “Now that you’ve mentioned the legend, it actually has something to do with the secret Eragon has been protecting. But it’s all just a legend. And we’ve looked into it before. There is no connection between them.”
Daxon was excited. “Huh? It’s related to the secret Eragon has been protecting?”
“Yes. The secret exists. Same goes for the two mysterious entities’ legend. However, we haven’t found what the connection is until now-”
“The legend is real? It really exists?” Levi asked hurriedly.
A voice traveled from inside again. “Sorry, we don’t know either. We couldn’t find anything. But after a long period of investigation, there seem to be no traces of the two entities appearing in Erudia. The only conclusion we can give you is that they only exist in the legend and not in real life. Or maybe you could say that The Manifest Court does not have the ability to determine whether the two mysterious entities aren’t legends. Hence, we believe they don’t exist.”
Hearing that, Levi was disappointed.
Since this was the answer given by The Manifest Court, it was highly possible that the two mysterious entities were not real.
As expected, legends were just legends.
Moreover, even the Lab of Gods could not determine its existence. Hence, it was safe to say that they did not exist.
After all, it was most likely that no one else in the world apart from The Manifest Court and the Lab of Gods could determine its existence.
If they said the mysterious entities did not exist, then that must be true.
Hence, they could only rely on themselves.
Nonetheless, he could use this idea to make Sacroria reveal themselves.
Levi was already thinking of a plan to attack Sacroria. “Before I leave, can I know what are the entities of these two legends? I’m sure you can at least tell me that, right?”
