Chapter 1308: International Mercenary Alliance

Book:The Primus Of The Country Published:2024-9-12

Overnight, the headquarters of Knights’ Liberty was attacked by a mysterious force. This time, Knights’ Liberty suffered heavy casualties, nearly 20, 000 dead or injured. Among them, Knights’ Isle, the base of Knights’ Liberty, was struck by hundreds of missiles, and most of the facilities on the island were destroyed. It is worth noting that Knights’ Liberty is one of the top five mercenary groups in the world. Such an incident triggered investigations by major powers in the Western underground world. Everyone wanted to see who had attacked Knights’ Liberty.
Soon, news spread. The assailant was none other than Death, who had caused havoc in Oxwoods three years earlier. Upon hearing this, the entire Western world was shocked. The name of Death, Amerosia Primus, was well known throughout the Western world. Death, titled General Death, had now arrived in Oxwoods, causing numerous powerful figures in the Western underground to tremble with fear.
Meanwhile, the leader of Knights’ Liberty, Dull, issued a statement. In this declaration, Dull swore to kill Death to avenge Knights’ Liberty. Additionally, Dull would report this attack to the International Mercenary Alliance, as Knights’ Liberty was a significant member. This attack by Death on Knights’ Liberty was like a slap in the face to the International Mercenary Alliance. If the Alliance remained indifferent to this incident, their standing in the global mercenary community would greatly diminish.
At this moment, the International Mercenary Alliance was in a difficult position. If someone else had attacked Knights’ Liberty, they might have found a way to respond. But the attacker was Chris Shelby-what could they do? Chris Shelby, known as Amerosia’s Primus, single-handedly guarded the borders of Amerosia and stirred the entire Western world as General Death; no one could touch him.
To address this issue, the International Mercenary Alliance convened a special meeting. Mercenary City, the headquarters of the Alliance, housed thousands of mercenary groups and operated independently of any nation. At the meeting, Dull, the leader of Knights’ Liberty, was furious. He strongly demanded that the International Mercenary Alliance severely punish Chris Shelby. Hearing Dull’s words, the leader of the Alliance, Wilson, frowned. Wilson, squinting at Dull, asked, “Mr. Dull, are you certain that Death was behind this?”
“Of course!” Dull nodded emphatically, his eyes fixed on Wilson. “Leader, I want you to immediately order the Alliance’s armies to surround and annihilate Death!”
Hearing Dull’s demand to deploy troops, a hint of annoyance appeared on Wilson’s face. He knew that Chris Shelby was Amerosia’s Primus. Deploying troops against Shelby would mean provoking Amerosia-a move that could have unfavorable consequences for the International Mercenary Alliance. Wilson coldly retorted, “Mr. Dull, as far as I know, your father died at the hands of Death! This attack by Death on Knights’ Liberty was because you had captured Death’s wife. Our International Mercenary Alliance cannot deploy our armies over a personal vendetta between you and Death!”
Hearing this, Dull’s face turned ashen. Dull knew that with Knights’ Liberty’s own strength, they were no match for Chris Shelby. Hence, he had hoped to drag the International Mercenary Alliance into the conflict to seek vengeance on his behalf.
But now, Wilson had seen through his ruse and abruptly rejected him, which infuriated him. Dull angrily retorted, “Mr. Wilson, what do you mean by that? We, Knights’ Liberty, are a significant member of the International Mercenary Alliance. Now that Knights’ Liberty has been attacked, shouldn’t the International Mercenary Alliance seek revenge for us?”
Wilson was unyielding and said coldly, “Dull, you should know who Death is. If our International Mercenary Alliance sends a large force, it would be tantamount to provoking a war between the International Mercenary Alliance and Amerosia, a consequence neither you nor I can bear!”
Though the International Mercenary Alliance was powerful, Amerosia was among the top three military powers in the world. A war with Amerosia would undoubtedly lead to the annihilation of the International Mercenary Alliance. Wilson, as the leader of the International Mercenary Alliance, would never risk destroying the entire alliance for Knights’ Liberty!
Bang!
Dull slammed his fist on the table and bellowed, “Mr. Wilson, if the International Mercenary Alliance cannot help Knights’ Liberty obtain justice, then we will consider withdrawing from the International Mercenary Alliance!”
“You…”
Wilson hadn’t anticipated that Dull would threaten to leave the International Mercenary Alliance. After all, Knights’ Liberty was one of the top five mercenary groups in the world. Their withdrawal would immensely damage the reputation of the entire International Mercenary Alliance.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud explosion resounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shortly after, dozens of fully armed mercenaries were blown into the room. Moments later, a young man entered.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing this, the thousands of mercenaries in charge of security at the scene immediately aimed their dark gun muzzles at the young man.
“Death!”
Upon seeing the young man, Wilson and the others’ faces turned pale.
“Ha ha ha!”
Chris Shelby laughed loudly and said, “Wilson, you old thing, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to still be alive!”
Dull, seeing Chris Shelby, turned extremely pale, and his eyes emitted a venomous glare.
Chris Shelby casually found a chair to sit on, propping his feet on the conference table. He scanned everyone coldly and said indifferently, “I heard someone was planning to send a large army to hunt me down? Great! I’m right here, and I’d like to see how you plan to surround and defeat me?”
“Death, don’t be too arrogant!”
Dull stood up, his face full of anger, and said, “Death, was it you who led the attack on Knights’ Liberty headquarters last night?”
Chris Shelby glanced at Dull disdainfully and laughed, “Yes, last night it was me who swept through your Knights’ Liberty headquarters! I must say, Knights’ Liberty is quite weak; nearly thirty thousand of you couldn’t handle our three thousand men. I really wonder how Knights’ Liberty became one of the top five mercenary groups in the world?”
Seeing Chris Shelby openly admitting it, the tens of thousands of leaders from various mercenary groups attending the meeting were utterly shocked. Chris Shelby, leading just three thousand men, had indeed swept through the entire Knights’ Liberty headquarters. Truly, he lived up to the name Death!
