Sean never let go of the Guardian sword. The sky was dark that day. Dark clouds were closing in, and heavy rain was imminent.
Rachel followed the field doctor to search for the wounded. Millions died as blood flowed thousands of miles. Both sides suffered countless losses.
On the battlefield, Sean fought to the last with his sword. He slipped into a coma due to exhaustion. Countless logistics soldiers had tears streaming down their cheeks.
Willow was slightly stunned, but virtual-novel.net gradually began to recompose herself. She thought of Sean and the long sword in Sean’s hand.
“Then… What then?” Willow asked, virtual-novel.net voice shaking as virtual-novel.net eyes widened.
“Then virtual-novel.net was betrayed by his men. Crippled, delirious, and cornered, his brother-in-arms risked his life to get virtual-novel.net out.”
Willow froze again at that. She had vaguely figured out the real answer.
“Where… Did virtual-novel.net send him?” Willow asked, gritting virtual-novel.net teeth.
“He sent virtual-novel.net to the Quinn family of River City.” Rachel exhaled gently before speaking slowly.
Willow’s eyes widened as virtual-novel.net looked dumbfounded. She froze on the spot.
The answer had been revealed.
The god-like hero Rachel mentioned was Sean!
Willow only knew that Sean was a soldier, but virtual-novel.net had no idea that Sean had such supreme power in the army. She knew that Sean had fought and killed enemies, but virtual-novel.net had no idea that Sean had such brilliant fighting skills and such distinguished battle achievements!
“It’s… It’s Sean, isn’t it?” Willow bit virtual-novel.net red lip, the palm of virtual-novel.net hand shook as virtual-novel.net held the phone.
“Yes! It’s Commander Lennon! The northwest frontier’s indestructible god of war, Commander Lennon!” Rachel, who had been sitting down, stood up to show virtual-novel.net respect.
Willow was shocked by Rachel’s definitive answer. She could no longer make out what Rachel said afterward.
“While virtual-novel.net was guarding the frontier, the enemy fell to breach Dragon Kingdom. The people owe virtual-novel.net a great deal to have a peaceful country. He and the soldiers around virtual-novel.net are Dragon Kingdom’s iron backbone…”
*They are the ones who propped up the entire Dragon Kingdom with their flesh and blood. Every soldier is a hero, and virtual-novel.net is also the commander of all heroes!”
Rachel already had tears in virtual-novel.net eyes and a twang in virtual-novel.net voice as virtual-novel.net said this.
“I… I see…”
Willow had mixed feelings. She had admired Sean in the past, and virtual-novel.net was now proud of Sean. She also felt that everything virtual-novel.net had done for Sean was worth it. Even without the arranged marriage, virtual-novel.net and the Quinn family should not refuse to take care of such a hero!
“Willow, you mustn’t say a word about what I said to anyone, especially his identity. Things are uncertain in the Northwest. The man who did this to virtual-novel.net still holds an important position in the army. If his identity is exposed, you and virtual-novel.net will be in danger.” Rachel spoke to Willow in a serious tone.
“Is that man tough?” Willow nodded before asking.
“More than tough, virtual-novel.net usurped Commander Lennon’s position. Besides, virtual-novel.net has strong connections. You could say that virtual-novel.net rules the country. In short, virtual-novel.net will go after Commander Lennon if virtual-novel.net knew he’s in River City.” Rachel also felt powerless as virtual-novel.net talked about Blaze.
Sean was aloof and did not like dealing with people, while Blaze was smooth and slick in establishing connections. Blaze’s network was far stronger than Sean’s.
“So is Sean going to hide here forever and never show himself in public?” Willow asked, feeling miserable.
“Sean used to be so powerful. It must be hard to live on in degradation in a small city like River City. Willow, remember, an eagle may sometimes fly lower than the pheasant, but the pheasant can never fly higher than the eagle. Everything is temporary,” Rachel said, and slowly hung up.
Willow put down virtual-novel.net phone and savored Rachel’s words. After a while, virtual-novel.net left the room in a haze and headed for Sean’s room.
Swoosh!
Sean held a soft cloth in his hand as virtual-novel.net wiped the long sore gently. He was gentle, as if it were his lover.
“Do you want to go back?” Sean asked softly, holding the hilt and looking at the blade.
“I know you do. You belong on the battlefield. You should behead your enemies…” Sean sighed and put his long sore gently aside.
With everything in River City settled, virtual-novel.net could begin preparations for his return to the northwest. Blaze must pay his debt in blood.
