“Yes!” Carrie Grant immediately led over a thousand grandmaster-level fighters to confront the royal guards. These thousand grandmaster-level fighters were the backbone of the Middleton Alliance and the foundation of their dominance in the martial world. This time, in order to level East Coast and seize the Dragon Emblem fragment, Josh Clarke had brought all his forces.
With the addition of these thousand grandmaster-level experts, they managed to stop the sharp offensive of the royal guards. Josh Clarke breathed a sigh of relief. He had underestimated East Coast. Who would have thought that such a mysterious group of fighters would be hidden here? However, he believed that this should be East Coast’s final force. Otherwise, it was hard for him to imagine how such a small place like East Coast could possess such terrifying power.
Several figures landed in front of James Mester. James Mester immediately showed a respectful face: “Master!” Chris coldly glanced at James Mester: “James Mester, do you know your crime?” Without any hesitation, James Mester knelt down, “I know my crime! I did not follow Master’s orders and brought my men to intercept the Middleton Alliance without permission!”
Chris coldly said, “Since you know, why did you commit the crime knowingly?” As his words fell, a cold killing intent enveloped James Mester. In an instant, James Mester’s face turned red. It seemed as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe. For the first time, Chris was angry at James Mester. If it wasn’t for James Mester disobeying his orders, East Coast’s gray zone wouldn’t have suffered such huge losses. If James Mester couldn’t provide a reasonable explanation, Chris wouldn’t mind killing him to avenge the tens of thousands of fallen brothers.
James Mester took a deep breath and struggled to say, “Master, it’s not that I didn’t obey your orders! It’s just that I truly couldn’t obey them… Behind us is East Coast! It’s our home! We are all people of East Coast, if we don’t resist, if we don’t fight to the death, who will? These people are all heartless monsters! If they break into East Coast, they will kill the common people! They will kill my family!” “I, as a person of East Coast, even if I’m not the underground ruler, even if it means death, I absolutely cannot bear to see such a situation happen!” James Mester became more and more agitated as he spoke, eventually standing up. He pointed at East Coast behind him, tears streaming down his face.
Then, with a thud, James Mester knelt down heavily again, “If Master wants to kill me, I will have no complaints!” Chris was moved for a moment. Although James Mester’s intention was for the people of East Coast, he had indeed disobeyed Chris’s orders. Military orders were like mountains! In the military camp, disobedience was a serious offense. On the border battlefield, this was punishable by death! But his intention, after all, was good! Just like himself and the countless border soldiers behind him. They risked their lives, killed for justice, and all for what? Wasn’t it for Amerosia and their loved ones?
“Since your intention is for the people of East Coast, I’ll spare your life,” Chris looked at James Mester and said indifferently. “But although you can escape death, you cannot escape punishment. I order you to personally destroy this Middleton Alliance! If you can’t do it, bring me your head!”
“Yes!” James Mester, a scholar, was also boiling with blood at Chris’s words. He grabbed the large knife from one of his men and shouted, “Brothers, follow me and kill these bastards!”
