Dylan Piper intended to use the payment to lure Chris Shelby over, then ambush him with cultivators to kill him. However, he didn’t expect Chris Shelby’s strength to be so formidable; the cultivators he had ambushed were no match for Chris Shelby. Not only that, but Dylan himself was turned into a eunuch by Chris Shelby. He swore he would avenge this humiliation.
“Chris Shelby, I will kill you!” Dylan Piper growled, his eyes filled with hatred.
Meanwhile, at the northern border of Amerosia, a massive army of a million soldiers from Quartz Ridge was stationed, poised for battle. Before the war erupted, there were constant skirmishes between Amerosia and Quartz Ridge.
Rat-a-tat-tat! Intense gunfire rang out as bullets whizzed through the air. In the vast desert, two forces were engaged in fierce combat.
“Instructor, Quartz Ridge’s troops have launched an attack on us,” said a young man in his twenties, one of the East Coast Guards sent to the border battlefield for training.
Tiger squinted his eyes upon hearing this. Recently, Quartz Ridge’s actions had become increasingly frequent. To curb Quartz Ridge’s incursions into Amerosia’s border, Tiger had resolutely led a hundred thousand East Coast Guards to fight.
Tiger observed the enemy’s movements through binoculars and calmly said, “Pass down the order: Quartz Ridge is well-prepared this time. Everyone must be cautious. No rash actions without my command!”
“Yes, sir!”
The order was quickly relayed. The East Coast Guards had been at the border battlefield for some time now. During this period, they had experienced battles filled with blood and fire. The East Coast Guards had undergone a tremendous transformation; each soldier now exuded a fierce aura and had become much stronger than before. They were all true defenders of their homeland.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, shells whistled through the air as Quartz Ridge launched an attack.
Tiger waved his hand and commanded, “Transmit my order: Attack! Flank them quickly and encircle them from both sides while piercing through the center. Charge!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
With a single command, a hundred thousand East Coast Guards surged towards Quartz Ridge’s army like a tidal wave.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Intense gunfire followed immediately.
“Instructor, we’re surrounded!” Half an hour later, an East Coast Guard soldier covered in blood ran over and shouted.
Tiger was rarely shocked and quickly asked, “What happened?”
“Instructor, Quartz Ridge came prepared this time. They ambushed us with three hundred thousand troops. We’re surrounded…”
Before he could finish speaking, the soldier collapsed to the ground and died.
Seeing this, Tiger’s face turned grim. He never expected Quartz Ridge to be so despicable as to set up an ambush. If the East Coast Guards were wiped out here, how would he face Chris Shelby upon returning? Tiger had promised Chris Shelby to bring these East Coast Guards back safely!
These men had earned Tiger’s respect with their blood and sweat; they were all true defenders of their homeland!
But at this moment…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunfire continued as one East Coast Guard after another fell in pools of blood. The encirclement by Quartz Ridge grew tighter; without reinforcements, all one hundred thousand East Coast Guards would perish in this vast desert.
Tiger looked up and sighed deeply, “Is heaven really going to destroy me? Boss, I’ve failed you!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
Just as Tiger was filled with guilt, suddenly there was a burst of gunfire and artillery.
“Instructor, Commander Lynx has brought the Lynx Legion to rescue us!” An East Coast Guard soldier ran over excitedly and shouted.
“Hahaha!” Tiger was stunned for a moment before laughing heartily. “There’s always hope. Brothers, follow me and fight! This time we must teach those Quartz Ridge bastards a lesson.”
With that, Tiger led the charge. Under the combined assault of the Lynx Legion and the East Coast Guards, Quartz Ridge’s army was utterly defeated and fled in disarray.
Looking at the numerous corpses on the ground, Tiger wiped his sweat and muttered to himself, “Boss, I didn’t let you down!”
At that moment…
East Coast International Airport.
Lightning, Chief Inspector of the East Coast Police Department, led a large contingent of officers to secure the entire airport. Rumors had it that an international VIP was arriving.
Soon after, a luxurious private jet landed slowly at the airport. A group of people disembarked from the plane. Leading them was a woman wearing a crown and royal robe-none other than the Queen of Oxwoods!
Beside her was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl-Princess Medusa!
The Queen looked at Medusa lovingly and said with a smile, “Medusa, enjoy your stay in East Coast but remember not to wander off. I’ll inform Death to protect you well.”
If Chris Shelby were here, he would be very surprised. Who would have thought that both the Queen and Princess of Oxwoods would come to East Coast? After all, East Coast was just a small coastal city in Amerosia; when did foreign dignitaries start visiting?
Medusa smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry! I’m here to see Mr. Shelby and Sister Esther; nothing will happen.”
The Queen nodded and instructed her entourage sternly: “You must ensure the Princess’s safety at all costs. If anything happens to her, I will not forgive you!”
The bodyguards in black suits wore serious expressions. They were cultivators from Oxwoods’ royal family; each one was from the Transcendence realm and responsible for protecting royal members.
Princess Medusa was the Queen’s most beloved daughter; they couldn’t afford any mistakes.
“Rest assured, Your Majesty; we will protect the Princess with our lives!”
The Queen nodded again before boarding her plane and departing. Her primary purpose for visiting Amerosia was a state visit to Middleton with AmerosiaMaster William; stopping by East Coast was just incidental.
Without any delay, she flew straight to Middleton. She didn’t want to waste time in East Coast or see that scoundrel Chris Shelby again because every encounter with him made her furious.
Watching the Queen’s plane leave, Lightning wiped cold sweat from his forehead. Not long ago he received orders that Oxwoods’ Queen would visit-it scared him half to death! But since she didn’t stay long and left only Princess Medusa behind-even so-the Princess wasn’t someone Lightning could neglect either.
“Princess Medusa,” Lightning greeted respectfully. “I am Lightning from East Coast Police Department; I’m responsible for your safety during your stay.”
“Hello,” Medusa replied cheerfully. “I’m Medusa.”
“What? You speak Amerosia’s language!” Lightning exclaimed in surprise; he never imagined that Oxwoods’ princess could speak their language-it was unbelievable!
