Chapter 1017: Clean Up II

Chapter 1017: Clean Up II

The Captain frowned tightly in the military base situated at the front line. As a full-shifter Captain, he clearly knew the importance of the city in front.

It was not the city itself that was particularly precious, but the people who were within it. This was where the three main rebel army leaders were currently situated. Only by defeating the top three rebel army leaders, would it be possible to completely eradicate all the rebel armies within the Holy Dragon Empire and restore unity.

However, defeating these top three rebel army leaders was not as easy as it sounded. All of them were ultimate contenders, which meant that, other than another ultimate contender, no one else could inflict any harm on them.

“Hold on, who is this person whom Her Majesty the Queen asked us to wait for?”

The Captain was getting slightly irritated. He recently received an order to wait for somebody’s arrival. Allegedly, this person could help them defeat the three rebel army leaders.

Such an order made the Captain want to roll his eyes. Since when did the royal family have a candidate who could stand one against three and defeat three ultimate contenders?

Nevertheless, the Captain could not disobey an order from Her Majesty the Queen. Currently in the Holy Dragon Empire, the Queen had unparalleled status and influence. She had also received the support of the entire military. A mere Captain like him would not dare to disobey the Queen’s order.

At that moment, a soldier came to report. “Captain, a man suddenly descended from the sky and is asking to see you.”

“Descended from the sky? He must be a full-shifter contender at least. Is this the person sent by Her Majesty the Queen?”

The Captain was stunned. According to Her Majesty the Queen, this person might be the key determinant of the Holy Dragon Empire’s victory.

Hence, the Captain hurriedly walked out. From afar, he saw an almost-unbelievably young man. However, despite the man’s youthful looks, his eyes portrayed a ferocity that seemed almost bewitching, which caused people to heighten their guards around him.

Naturally arriving at the military base was Merlin, who had rushed all the way from Holy Dragon City. Seeing the doubtful look the Captain casted at him, Merlin merely smiled. It seemed like, his victory over the Candora Trio-Lords and the killing of two rebel army leaders was only known by the core higher authorities. This Captain did not know of Merlin’s ‘battle-score’.

“My name is Leon. I was sent by Her Majesty the Queen to get rid of the three rebel army leaders,” Merlin stated his purpose outright.

“I see, it’s Sir Leon.”

The Captain appeared to be polite, although his heart was suspicious. This Merlin did not look particularly extraordinary, how could he possibly get rid of three ultimate contenders?

Thinking along these lines, the Captain felt doubtful, but he did not say anything. Since Her Majesty the Queen had sent this man here, he must have had some skills.

“Captain, tell me about the problems you’ve encountered so far,” Merlin said without further ado. He did not want to waste too much time there.

“Problems? There are indeed a few. The biggest problem is not the rebel armies, but the three rebel army leaders. All three of them are ultimate contenders. I’m sure Sir Leon knows all about ultimate contenders. As long as those three rebel army leaders are around, we are powerless against them. We dare not act recklessly against them.”

The Captain’s biggest headache was the three rebel army leaders. Regardless of how many thousands of troops and horses the military had, they did not dare to act recklessly. This was because a single ultimate contender was enough to dominate the entire battlefield.

“As long as I get rid of the three rebel army leaders, are you confident in defeating the rebel armies?” Merlin asked calmly.

“Of course, as long as those three rebel army leaders are annihilated, I’m confident that we can defeat all the rebel armies. However, all three rebel army leaders are ultimate contenders, how can they be defeated so easily? I’m afraid that we’ll have to convince Her Majesty the Queen to send a real ultimate contender here to control the situation.”

The Captain glanced at Merlin. This man did not seem like an ultimate contender, so the Captain wondered why the Queen sent him? Was it in order to gauge the situation?

However, they could have relied on Phantom Intelligence Department if it was merely to gauge the situation. The Captain was very familiar with Phantom Intelligence Department. This Department was very formidable; nothing was able to escape its surveillance.

“Since Captain is confident, then it will be done. I’ll go and get rid of the three rebel army leaders.”

A faint smile appeared on Merlin’s lips. Despite Merlin’s calm demeanor, the Captain’s eyes were wide open as he stared at Merlin without blinking.

“But… Those three are ultimate contenders. Sir Leon, you’re…”

“I’m the person the Queen sent to resolve the problem. It won’t take long, you can order your troops to get ready.”

Merlin did not explain in detail. Instead, he flew into the sky and soon disappeared from the military camp. Looking at his direction, he was heading towards the rebel armies’ city in front.

The Captain seemed undecided, before finally ordering in a gruff voice, “Go, order everyone to get ready, and observe what is happening within the city in front.”

At this point, the Captain no longer thought that Merlin was joking. After all, no one would dare to risk a joke on their own lives. Nevertheless, he still did not have much faith in Merlin. Was it possible to kill three ultimate contenders?

…

Despite the large military presence stationed outside, the rebel armies in the city were obviously relaxed. The large troop outside would not dare to attack them, because three of their powerful leaders had gathered together.

However, inside an ancient castle, the three rebel army leaders wore grave looks. The recent developments had caught them by surprise.

“I didn’t expect the royal family to still hold such a tremendous force. They’ve conquered half of the Holy Dragon Empire. Perhaps, only by combining our forces, we’ll be able to hold on for a while,” the Shadow King said glumly. His expression was unpleasant. The situation had developed far beyond his expectations.

Beside him was the Phantom King and the Liberator. Both ultimate contenders spotted the same grave looks like the Shadow King. Ever since they found out that the head of the Sacred Lion Beast which they obtained was fake, their moods had plummeted. Moreover, the current outlook seemed very bleak for them.

“The three ancestors of the royal family probably haven’t recovered, but we should be worried about that Leon…”

Upon the Phantom King’s mention of Merlin, the three of them fell silent. They were not the least afraid of the three royal family ancestors, but they were quite fearful of Merlin.

Not only was Merlin able to fend off the Candora Trio-Lords, he also killed Doomsday and the Nine-Lives Werewolf. Such a battle-score was practically unheard of, so much so Merlin could be said to be the number one contender throughout the entire land. This was because they were usually quite impaired while disparities existed between ultimate contenders. Other than a siege, it was very difficult for an ultimate contender to kill another ultimate contender.

Merlin, on the other hand, singlehandedly killed two ultimate contenders.

“Leon is protecting the royal family inside the palace. He won’t come out so easily. Even if he does, surely we can compete against him with our combined forces?”

The Liberator sneered. Perhaps Merlin was indeed powerful, but with the combined force of three ultimate contenders; they were also an immense powerhouse. It would not be easy for Merlin to defeat them.

“That’s right, the three of us must combine forces. During this period of time, we shouldn’t act alone. Then, even if Leon comes, he won’t be able to defeat us.”

The Shadow King nodded. The three of them combined together was still a considerable force.

“Is that so?”

Just then, a familiar voice resonated inside the castle. Following that, without any warning, a figure walked through the front door.

“Swoosh.”

The Shadow King and the others were immediately on alert. Upon seeing this figure, their faces revealed a look of horror. “Leon? You’ve left Holy Dragon City?”

Seeing Leon, the Shadow King and the others could not help but turn cautious. They were just discussing how to handle Merlin, but he had already silently left Holy Dragon City and came to their castle.

For Merlin to come to this castle at this time, the meaning was unquestionable. The royal family was turning on them!

“I’m just leaving the royal family for a while to deal with you. When you escaped from Holy Dragon City and lived for a few extra days, you should have known that this day will eventually come.”

Merlin’s tone sounded unperturbed, but his body gave off a chilling murderous vibe!
