chapter 14 I'm from the north

Liam departed.
The Sungarde Sect was in complete disarray.
"Miss Maya, do you think he really wants to join King Charles's ranks?"
Grand Elder Caleb was very unwilling.
Today.
The Sungarde Sect had lost face.
And yet Liam, with his stunning talent, was favored by Maya.
"I believe he has thought it through," Maya spoke.
In her view.
Liam's assault on the Sungarde Sect was fueled by anger.
Hearing about her alliance with Prince Marshall, his somewhat extreme reaction seemed normal.
"Maya!"
"In the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, those who can issue the Red Dragon secret orders hold high positions."
"And yesterday, the secret order appeared in Greene Town, just when Liam returned to the Calvin family."
"Coincidentally, Liam is just nineteen years old."
Isaac spoke slowly and with difficulty, "Do you think, this is just a coincidence?"
Maya's delicate body trembled.
She was intelligent and understood Isaac's implication.
If this was not a coincidence.
Piecing together all the information would lead to only one conclusion.
"No, it can't be!"
Maya quickly suppressed the baseless speculation, "If he were that person, the Sungarde Sect would have been leveled to the ground by now!"
Liam's current achievements, although remarkable, were still far from that of the North King.
"That's true."
Isaac nodded with a bitter smile.
The Kings of the Red Dragon, wielding immense power in their era.
If Liam were the North King, why would he attack the Sungarde Sect alone?
However.
Isaac still felt uneasy inside.
Liam's every move exuded an astonishing charisma, even he couldn't see through him.
As the leader of the Sungarde Sect, he had to confront him.
It was only because of Maya's secret intervention that he had a reason to back down.
At the sect gate.
Thousands of people dispersed, each with excitement and exhilaration written on their faces.
The genius of the Calvin family, assaulting the Sungarde Sect, caused a sensation in all the neighboring cities.
Those who came to witness were treated to a battle they would never forget.
The Calvin family has a son.
Reckless and bold, stepping on the Mountain-sealing Great Array, breaking the Sungarde Killing Formation!
Even in the face of a Transcendence from the other shore, he remained unflinching, slaying Benjamin!
"This big brother is really amazing!"
Chloe cheered joyfully, while Jack's expression was solemn, straightening his clothes, ready to pay respects to Liam descending the mountain.
Those who had never been on a battlefield could hardly grasp the significance of the North King's rise.
The eight Kings of the Red Dragon.
Only the North King willingly guarded the frontier, fighting to the death.
A king through and through, worthy of heaven and earth, he defended the splendid lands of the Red Dragon.
His, an old soldier's last wish, was to personally pay respects to the North King.
"Elder, I am unworthy of such honor."
Liam supported Jack, "If you wish, you can visit me at Calvin Mansion later, and then we can drink merrily."
Liam had great respect for such veterans and wanted to find a way to treat Jack's old wounds.
"Yes, yes..."
Jack, in his sixties, was as excited as a child, attracting the attention of Owen and Lucy.
"Young Master Liam, let me escort you back to Calvin Mansion."
At that moment, a young man dressed in silver light armor, pulling a chariot, willingly served as a beast of burden...
"The commander of the city guards, William?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
Such a figure, willingly taking on such a lowly role.
"I have resigned from the post of commander."
"From now on, I wish to follow Young Master Liam to the death," William declared.
His desire to repay a debt of gratitude, regardless of Liam's identity.
"Follow me?"
Seeing William's determined eyes, Liam smiled slightly, "Alright, if you're not afraid of death, you may follow."
Having said that.
He invited the elderly and young Jack to join them.
"Not bad, promising, I see potential in you!"
James patted William's shoulder, smiling rarely.
In the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, many wished to follow the North King but found no opportunity. William, by sheer chance, became a part of the North King's retinue.
On the way.
James left for a moment and stood atop a hill, releasing several colorful birds into the sky.
"Looking across the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, there are countless heroes, but only our king is worthy of this prosperous era's name!"
"Our king cares deeply for the nation and is reluctant to mobilize the North King Army hastily, but this time, King Charles has gone too far. I cannot tolerate this!"
James narrowed his eyes, then turned and followed the carriage.
...
The setting sun sank in the west, its remnants like blood.
In the northern part of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, the town of Ryan County.
In a grand hall, a swordsman stood.
The swordsman, in his prime, held a sword, his black robe billowing, his head covered with a hat, his face hard to discern.
An old man with a bald head faced the Black Robe Swordsman, unable to hide his nervousness.
The area near the great hall was already crowded with people, a wave of shock spreading among them.
In the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, there are Earth Rankings and Heaven Rankings.
The Heaven Ranking includes the top hundred experts of the Heaven Martial Realm. Those listed are all powerful figures.
The bald old man, known as 'Old Eagle Man', ranked second in the Heaven Ranking. Famous for a long time, he had the prestige to establish his own school in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty.
But now...
He faced a challenge from an unknown swordsman.
Without even drawing his sword, the swordsman bested Old Eagle Man in several exchanges.
"Only this much skill as the second in the Heaven Ranking?"
The Black Robe Swordsman slightly raised his head, a cold smile on his lips, "Looks like you'll never have the chance in this lifetime to cross the Bitter Sea and reach Transcendence."
"Who... who are you?"
"You're not listed in the hundred seats of the Heaven Ranking!"
Old Eagle Man was both shocked and angry.
The Black Robe Swordsman, with his sharp and ruthless moves, would have beheaded him had he drawn his sword.
It was hard to imagine.
When such an unnoticed expert had emerged in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty.
Suddenly.
A colorful bird, like a bolt of lightning, came rushing and landed on the swordsman's shoulder.
"Hmm?"
"James, is this a message from you?"
The swordsman reached out, took the letter tied to the bird.
As he unfolded it and read its contents, his eyes narrowed.
Buzz!
In an instant, the sharp sound of the sword, like a dragon's roar, shocked Old Eagle Man.
Before he could react, the Black Robe Swordsman, like a roc spreading its wings, vanished in a few flashes.
"You ask who I am!"
"I'll tell you, I come from the North, one of the four generals under the North King of the Red Dragon, Andrew Young!"
From afar, a cold voice like thunder came, silencing the surroundings of the great hall.
The North King of the Red Dragon!
The figure who shook the world and was crowned king at a young age!
"He's actually a general from the North!"
Old Eagle Man, sweating profusely, almost collapsed.
The North King had been crowned for only half a year.
But his brave and fierce generals, each could hold their own.
They, along with the North King, guarded the North, unconcerned with fame and fortune, which explained why their formidable strength was not listed in the Heaven Ranking.
There were rumors in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty.
"Better to meet King Hughes than provoke the North King's army."
The North King treated his soldiers as brothers.
The 300,000 North King Army, viewing the North King as their faith, were like madmen, united and forged a bloodthirsty military spirit.
"This general, clearly leaving in anger, could it be related to the North King?"
Old Eagle Man was unsettled.
Meanwhile, in the distance of the great hall, stood two figures emanating a bloody aura. they were the secret guards trained by the Red Dragon Martial Lord, substituting for the Warlord to supervise the Martial Dynasty.
"Even 'Black Robe Swordsman' Andrew appeared here, it seems the North King has indeed left the North."
"Using the Flying Sparrow Messenger, could it be that North King is planning to mobilize the North King Army?"
Two of the Red Dragon's secret guards whispered to each other.
In an instant, they thought of the Red Dragon Martial Gathering happening in ten days.
To the common folk, it's a grand event worthy of visiting King's Gate, but they knew it might involve the struggle between two kings.
"The current North King is stunningly brilliant, fully capable of reaching the level of the first emperor of the Red Dragon, even the Warlord shows him respect."
"This matter is not for us to interfere in, let's go!"
The two secret guards of the Red Dragon quickly departed.
