Upon receiving Northern King's order, the long-suffering Northern Faction Legions began their ferocious assault on

the city.

The Northern Faction was divided into two garrisons: one for attacking the city gates and another for hoisting the

ladders to breach the city walls.

Soldiers scaling the ladders were supposed to be the most vulnerable, but due to Northern King's immediate

elimination of most of the guards, they managed a swift capture of the city walls.

The guards of the Southern Faction did not stand a chance against Northern King.

Upon occupying the city walls, the Northern Faction soldiers immediately drew their bows and shot at the city

below.

The arrows were fiery arrows specially prepared for this purpose. Within seconds, the Southern Faction was set

ablaze amidst yells of pain filling the air.

The commotion alerted the Legatuses of the Southern Faction.

The ten Legatuses were King Class warriors. With a leap, they arrived atop the city walls and began shedding the

blood of the Northern Faction soldiers.

“Legatuses of the Northern Faction, hear me!” Northern King cried.

“Yes, sir!”

Thirteen men leaped out of formation in the Northern Faction camp and fell to a knee before Northern King.

“Kill all the Legatuses of the Southern Faction!” he bellowed.

With a bloodcurdling battle cry, the thirteen Legatuses of the Northern Faction dashed toward the ten Legatuses of

the Southern Faction, who were rooted to the spot with shock.

What's going on? As far as we know, the Northern Faction also had only ten Legatuses. Since when did thirteen

warriors join the ranks to become Legatuses? Godd*mn it, the Northern Faction must have cultivated three

additional Legatuses in secret. Those devious f*ckers!

Far from being idle, Northern King dashed toward the ten Legatuses of the Southern Faction alongside his men,

subduing four Legatuses on his own.

“Hear me, Legatuses of the Northern Faction. Eliminate the other six Southern Faction Legatuses with haste. I'll hold

these four for you.”

At his command, the thirteen Legatuses of the Northern Faction pressed their advantage against the six remaining

Southern Faction Legatuses.

Outnumbered two to one, the Southern Faction Legatuses were suppressed every way they turned, helpless against

the merciless onslaught.

They were about to crumble from hopelessness. It's all over. We will only end up dead if we resist any further.

Following the fall of two of their number, the remaining Legatuses had enough.

“We surrender!”

“Have mercy, Northern King! We will serve you!”

Northern King sneered. “Those who surrender, kneel and place both hands on your heads. Those who resist,

prepare for your demise!”

As soon as he spoke, the remaining eight Southern Faction Legatuses placed their hands on their heads and fell to

their knees in surrender.

They watched the battle of the common soldiers and saw that the Northern Faction had occupied the city walls,

seemingly with an absolute advantage.

The soldiers of the Southern Faction were overwhelmed to such a degree that they could not put up even an ounce

of resistance. With their morale being chipped away, the defiance of the Southern Faction members became

increasingly weak.

At the sight of their Legatuses' surrender, the fighting spirit of these soldiers crumbled.

Even the Legatuses have surrendered. Why should we continue holding on? We will only die if we keep resisting.

“I surrender. Please have mercy, Northern Master.”

“We will serve you with undying loyalty.”

“Have mercy, please. I have surrendered. Don't kill me!”

“Those who surrender, kneel and place both hands on your heads. Those who resist, prepare for your demise!”

Northern King roared once more.

At that, almost everybody in the Southern Faction fell to their knees.

The remaining handful were Southern King loyalists, and they were still putting up the fight of their lives.

With a strike at each, Northern King casually disposed of the renegades.

The Southern Faction base gradually fell into silence. Northern King leered.

His plan to attack the city had been much easier than he anticipated. The whole process took less than half an

hour, with almost no casualties on their side.

“I have finally united all the Legions together under my rule. Even if Southern King returns, he will not pose a threat

to me. I wonder how he's doing now? I'm sure a conflict has broken out between him and the Centurias.

“Speaking of which, I must thank the new leader of the Centurias for my smooth conquest of the Southern Faction

camp. Of course, Johnny also deserves credit for the part he played. If not for him bringing Speedy back, the

conflict between Southern King and the Centurias would not have been invoked, and Southern King would not have

left the Southern Faction to give me this opportunity.”
