Chapter 10
Tranquility Cafe, being the top cafe at Oceanheim, saw a steady stream of patrons every day.
In a vintage-style private room, music continued to linger in the air amidst swirling white steam.
Xavier sat cross-legged. A cup of cappuccino was placed on the table in front of him.
The aroma of coffee spread everywhere.
Across from him sat a spirited elderly man
He wore a dark green military uniform which was adorned with five stars on his shoulder. He widened
his eyes in anger, exuding a dignified presence.
The elderly man was none other than Ronald Wright, the leader of the Oboutor Center in Avaloria.
“Kid, can’t the price be reduced further?” he asked.
After a while, Ronald let out a soft sigh.
Upon hearing this, Xavier lifted the coffee cup and took a sip. “One war king for 20 thousand dollars. A
soldier for 40 dollars. That’s quite a fair price
“Mr. Wright, of course, if you think it’s expensive, I can sell them to overseas battlefields. A war king is
worth at least 200 thousand dollars there.”
“How dare you, kid! I think you are insensible to the offer. You see the Skystorm Legion’s soldiers as
pigs, huh?”
Behind Ronald, a young guard glared and coldly admonished.
On the side, Osric, bound tightly, turned extremely displeased upon hearing this remark.
“Did you just fucking call me a pig?” Osric questioned.)
“The audacity” Barnaby said “Disrespecting a Warrior means opposing the Heavenrage Legion. Want
to fight? I’m ready to fight anytime.
Barnaby, fiercely protective of his leader, glared with wide eyes and spoke in a confrontational manner.
Seeing the situation, Ronald’s tense frown relaxed. He smiled and said, “The tactics of an emperor The
heart of a saint. A wise mind. Understanding the ways of the world and human nature but choosing to
maintain one’s own pure and genuine Spirit Being particular about something, but also being willing to
compromise when necessary. This kid from the Cavanaugh family truly lives up to the reputation as the
Heavenrage Warlord.
Forget it. The Oboutor Center can still afford this amount of money. That old and useless Robert has
good grandson.”
At Wright, since you know my grandfather, I’ll offer you a personal favor further, Xavier said. “I’ll give
you a 20% discount”
“You little rascal, trying to annoy me on purpose, huh?” Ronald sud, pretending to be angry.

Looking at Xavier, he felt a myriad of emotions. That little kid, who used to wear open-crotch pants and
was carried around by him while peeing, was now the leader of the Heavenrage Legion, a force to be
reckoned with in the external region.
Xavier grinned and said, “Well, that’s because you insist on putting on airs. Barnaby, release Osric”
“Alright,” Barnaby said.
Barnaby then untied the hemp rupes from Osric’s body.
After regaining his freedom, Osric sat beside Ronald with a displeased expression.
Ronald glanced at Barnaby. He then stared at Xavier intently and said, “Kid, your soldiers are pretty
good.”
Xavier felt frightened under the stare, a shiver running down his spine. He hurriedly said, “Please,
speak frankly. Just Orie and five hundred soldiers aren’t worth your personal visit to Oceanheim. Stop
keeping me in suspense by not getting to the point directly.”
Osric, who had just lifted the coffee cup and took a sip, almost spat out a mouthful of coffee.
He thought. What does that mean? Am I really this worthless?
The corners of Ronald’s lips stiffened for a moment. He then said, “Since that’s the case, let me be
straightforward then. I’d like to formally invite you and the Heavenrage Legion to join the Oboutor
Center.”
Upon saying that, a hint of assessment flickered in his eyes. Without showing any change in
expression, he glanced at
Xavier’s reaction.
After hearing Ronald’s words, Xavier fell into silence.
This morning, right after leaving the Pemberley Mansion, he was invited by Ronald to Tranquility Cafe
for coffee.
He had secretly speculated about Ronald’s intentions for coming to Oceanheim.
After all, with tens of thousands of soldiers from the Heavenrage Legion entering Avaloria, it was
impossible for the Oboutor Center, which guarded Avaloria’s gates, to have no response at all.
Moreover, he had exterminate the Vanderbilt family, which was the foremost family in Oceanheim. He
had also detained. Osric and five hundred soldier from the Skystorm Legion
Such a big-scale movement could be deemed extremely astonishing.
He just found it somewhat surprising that the one arriving in Oceanheim was Ronald, the leader of the
Oboutor Center.
Ronald said, “Kid, the commotion you’ve stirred in Oceanheim has displeased many people in
Starhaven.
“If there isn’t a legitimate identity, the Heavenrage Legion must withdraw completely from Avaloria
within three days. Otherwise, members of the Darkflame Legion will come to Oceanheim.
“Inviting the Heavenrage Legion to join the Oboutor Center is also your grandfather’s wish.
“Of course, feel free to propose any conditions you have. I’ll agree to all that I can fulfill.”
Aner Ronald finished speaking, he pulled out a cigarette. Immediately, a young guard beside him bent
down and lit it for
Taking a deep drag, he then took out another cigarette and tossed it to Xavier. “Smoke the cigarette, he
said. “Take your time to think. No hurry.”
Taking the cigarette, Xavier lit it and took an intense drag. The acrid and spicy smoke surged down his
throat and entered his lungs. The emotion conveyed through his eyes was un: lear.
*Sir, allow me some time to consider, Xavier said. “This matter is of great significance, involving the
lives of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Heavenrage Legion.”
The prolonged silence was broken as Xavier spoke up.
After leaning this, Ronald nodded repeatedly.
“By the say, you mentioned that inviting the Heavenrage Legion to join the Oboutor Center is my
grandfather’s wish Xavier said.

Seemingly guessing Xavier’s thoughts, Ronald smiled and said. “Kid, joining the Oboutor Center will
bring numerous. benefits to your Heavenrage Legion and pose no harm.
“Firstly, with this identity, the Heavenrage Legion can freely access Avaloria,
“Secondly, if the Heavenrage Legion encounters any external resistance, the Oboutor Center will be its
strongest support.
“Thirdly, the tens of thousands of soldiers in your Heavenrage Legion are all excellent men of Avaloria
Avaloria needs
them.
Upon hearing this, Xavier furrowed his brows tightly and hesitated for a moment. He then asked Ronald
a question to sound him out, saying, ‘Sir, you are doing this for the War of the Hundred Kingdoms,
right?”
Ronald squinted. His gaze was like a book that seemed to capture everything. “It seems that I can’t
hide anything from you,” he said. “That’s right. Inviting you and the Heavenrage Legion to join the
Oboutor Center is indeed for the upcoming War of the Hundred Kingdoms that will commence in half a
month”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe War of the Hundred Kingdoms begun three thousand years ago.
It started once every sixty years and lasted for three months.
The significance behind the War of the Hundred Kingdoms was competing for resources,
Suddenly, Ronald spoke with a sense of concern. “Avaloria is facing a very serious situation in the
upcoming War of the Hundred Kingdoms,” he said. “Eldoria, Maritania, Norvania, Solaria, and other
foreign races are ambitious. They have always had the desire to destroy Avaloria
“It’s a pity that the Darkflame Legion guards Koruame. With the current strength of Avaloria’s twelve
legions, facing these foreign forces simultaneously leaves us stretched thin and unable to muster
enough strength.
“Kid, in my capacity as the head of the Oboutor Center, I am officially inviting the Heavenrage Legion to
participate in the war and guard the Northern Territory
“Will you agree?”
Ronald stood tall, his pupils emanating a sharp gleam. He performed a military salute with the utmost
seriousness as he spoke.
Xavier swiftly stood up, locking eyes with Ronald with a resolute gaze. “You personally came to invite
us,” he said. “How could I refuse! The Heavenrage Legion will participate in the war.”
“Good, good, good!” Ronald said. “Kid. No. From this moment on, you, Xavier, shall be the marshal of
the fifth legion of the Oboutor Center. You are bestowed the title of the Heavenrage Warlord.”
Ronald was immensely excited. His joy was expressed through his speech and demeanor,
This was because no one understood better than him that Avaloria would face an unprecedented
challenge in this War of the Hundred Kingdoms.
There was even a possibility that they might not be able to hold onto the external territories.
This was not an exaggeration or an alarmist statement.
According to intelligence gathered by the Oboutor Center’s information department, over thirteen
hostile forces from abroad had formed a massive coalition. They would advance aggressively toward
Avaloria from the east, the west, the south,
and the north.
During the War of the Hundred Kingdoms 120 years ago, Avaloria was plunged into internal strife. As a
result, Eldoria took advantage and juvaded, occupying nearly half of Avalonia’s territory and plundering
countless resources.
Additionally, over 20 million tizens were ruthlessly treated as cattle and sheep. They were men tlessly
slaughtered.
In the past hundred years, Avaloría had rapidly developed, recovered, and flourished. However, those
forces from the external regions had also been developing
Hence, the Oboutor Center did not dare to take risks Neither did Ronald.
Inviting the Heavenrage Legion to guard the Northern Territory was the only solution he could think of
