Chapter 351 Before War

351 Before War

A blue-haired man was standing on a tree branch. Even though he was a soldier of a kingdom, he was not wearing his knight armor; instead, he wore a black suit.

Of course, there was a reason for this.

His king chose him to be the team leader of the investigation unit, so he did not wear his armor because his black suit could help him carry out missions better than his armor.

The name of the mature man was none other than Jake.

Jake was not alone because his subordinates were with him.

He did not order his subordinates to split up because their target was a dragon that had many subordinates, so from his point of view, it was better to stay together.

'Hmm? What is this? Earthquake?'

Jake was startled when the ground and trees were suddenly shaking.

'No. This is not an earthquake.'

He skimmed his surroundings to find out what was going on.

Shortly after that, one of his subordinates rushed toward him and stood next to him.

"Team leader, it's our target and his underlings." The red-haired man uttered.

"Our target?" without waiting for another second, Jake rushed forward, jumping from one tree to another.

Like Jake, his subordinates also dashed forward, following him from behind.

"This is..." Jake widened his eyes in shock when he saw Ace and his underlings.

"100,000 magical beasts, no. It's around 200,000." The green-haired man said in surprise.

"We must inform our king about this immediately." The red-haired man uttered. "Five of you follow me. We will get closer to them." Jake said, "The rest go back and tell our king about this."

The green-haired man and the others nodded their heads.

At this moment, Ace and his underlings still had not noticed them. Jake and his subordinates were hiding in the trees so it was challenging to find them.

"Silvia, where is Nova? I haven't seen him since last month." Ace inquired.

"I don't know, leader." Silvia responded, "He said he had something important to do last month. I haven't seen him since then."

Ace could only sigh after hearing her answer.

'That wolf always does whatever he wants.'

"What?! He has two hundred thousand underlings?" Finley was shocked when he found out the number of Ace's underlings.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And we also believe they will attack us tomorrow." the sun was setting, so the red-haired man believed Ace would attack them tomorrow.

"Asher, tell Draven and Kian to meet me in the meeting room now." after saying that, Finley headed to the meeting room.

"Understood, Your Majesty." Asher responded. ----

Military Headquarters, Meeting Room.

Finley was currently talking with Draven, Kian, Michael, Jalen, and his father. Michael was Draven's father, while Jalen was Kian's father.

Like Finley, Jalen and Michael were awakeners at the Exalted rank.

They were the strongest in their families.

Draven and Kian brought their fathers with them because Finley said magical beasts would attack them tomorrow.

That meant, their meeting would be important because it was related to the future of their kingdom.

"Two hundred thousand underlings?" like Finley, Jalen, and the others were shocked when they found out the number of Ace's underlings. "Yes." Finley responded. "But don't worry. The number of our combined troops is three hundred thousand."

"How about their strength?" Michael inquired.

"From the information given by my subordinates, their leader is at 5-star. Four magical beasts at 4-star. The rest are at 1-star, 2-star and 3-star." Finley gave an honest answer.

"Then we will win this war for sure tomorrow." Jalen dared to say something like this because they had four awakeners at the Exalted rank.

"Yes. We will win this war tomorrow." Finley said confidently. "And if we are at a disadvantage tomorrow, I will use my trump card." "Do you mean you will use that?" Ariel knew about Finley's trump card because it was the reason why Finley could become a king.

"Yes, father." Finley responded.

"Then our chances of winning the war tomorrow is one hundred percent." Ariel said confidently because he knew how amazing Finley's trump card was.

"Now let's discuss how to kill that dragon." Finley uttered.

"Un." Ariel and the others nodded their heads.

----

The following morning, Ace and his subordinates arrived at the capital. The expression of deep shock blossomed on their faces when they saw Finley and the others in front of the capital.

But their surprised faces instantly turned into smiles because this was what they wanted.

'My hands are trembling with excitement.'
