"Your Majesty, the barriers within the city remain intact," a soldier reported to Quintin.Quintin gazed up at the sky, then waved, signaling his understanding. "Still no progress?" he muttered to himself.Unaware of Adrian's actions within the city, Quintin understood that the situation inside posed challenges even for Adrian. Hearing the news of the barriers' security, Quintin didn't dwell on it. The delay of a week was inconsequential; he had ample time. Sandstone City stood as the greatest impediment to his conquest of Obscura. Overcoming it was imperative. Victory in the war was assured, just the method of achievement remained in question.Dispatching Adrian reflected Quintin's desire for a flawless victory. If Adrian failed, Quintin wouldn't be disheartened. Opening the heavily guarded barriers within Sandstone within a week was a feat even Quintin believed he couldn't accomplish. Adrian was chosen simply because he was Adrian."No, he will succeed," Quintin murmured and chuc

Outside the city, Quintin was fully prepared, clearly intent on capturing Sandstone in one swift move. Sid lacked the manpower to quell the internal turmoil. However, once the news spread, Harriett unexpectedly softened his previous tough stance toward the gangs and ordered the garrison troops not to intervene."What's going on, sir?" Harriett’s subordinates asked anxiously.According to patrol reports from the frontline, today was likely the decisive battle between the gangs in Sandstone City. They had held off for a long time, and if they didn't act today, they might not have another opportunity in the future. The entire garrison would undoubtedly face consequences from the enraged mayor, and maybe even Sid himself."Do not do anything, any of you. This is my final advice to you all." Harriett, considering the years spent with his comrades, gave them a subtle hint at the last moment."Sir Harriett..."After these words, Harriett left the garrison. His confidant and daughter were

Adrian stood atop the city wall, observing Quintin's advancing army. Meanwhile, Sid led part of the resistance forces stationed at the edge of Sandstone, guarding against potential small-scale cavalry raids.Quintin’s large army, numbering over one hundred thousand, was positioned on the side of the city gate where Adrian stood guard. The main forces would launch their attack from this direction.In the midst of the massive crowd, Adrian scanned for Sid's figure. Though unfamiliar with Sid before, he had since learned what this great commander of Obscura looked like from propaganda posters upon arriving at Sandstone. However, Adrian couldn't spot Sid among the throng despite his keen eye.Not far from Adrian stood over ten thousand soldiers, ready to thwart any attempts to disrupt the central hub of the barriers once the war commenced. Dealing with these soldiers posed a challenge for Adrian. It was evident that he couldn’t do it alone, hence, the scene unfolding below his feet was

Covered in blood, someone rushed to Clement's side, shouting wildly, "Sir, it's time to retreat!"Clement remained silent for a few moments, then commanded, "Initiate the final charge. The Universe Brotherhood won't hold out. Before the army arrives, crush their remaining strength. We'll become the dominant gang in Sandstone City.""We can't do that! In such circumstances, the military will attack us!" Clement's subordinate retained some sense."Do you doubt my judgment? Do you forget who brought us to this point in just one week?" Clement's stern expression silenced the person, who, despite feeling uneasy, chose to trust their leader."Everyone, charge with me!" Clement shouted.The Sable Emblem members were momentarily stunned, but their eagerness to fight overrode their thoughts. They surged forward, and those behind them followed suit. Over a thousand people rushed toward the Universe Brotherhood.The Universe Brotherhood members were bewildered, staring at the approaching Sa

As Adrian pressed forward with his sword, the three thousand guards at the central hub spotted him. However, amidst the current chaos, they didn't grasp Adrian's background as he was just one person. None of them paid him any heed, perhaps too consumed by the unfolding turmoil.But regret soon followed Adrian's sword swing. They realized that despite him being alone, the menace he presented far outweighed the three thousand others. Moreover, those three thousand were merely a disordered throng engaged in internal strife."Since when did Sandstone harbor such a formidable expert?" someone exclaimed, coughing up blood.This man had been relatively fortunate. When Adrian swung his sword earlier, another person happened to be standing before him and bore the brunt of the attack and was cleaved in half. Despite being affected by the sword's essence, this man managed to narrowly preserve his life.Having unlocked the profound Origin Power–a mystery to Adrian himself—his combat prowess su

"Run!" a soldier shouted.Adrian's displayed power surpassed their understanding as they had never encountered such an ability before. This ability, akin to teleportation, was learned from Kobe during their last encounter. Due to rejection from their world, Adrian struggled to grasp Origin Power for a long time, facing a bottleneck. Witnessing Kobe's similar ability triggered a breakthrough, granting Adrian the same power."Die!"With a single word, Adrian's sword essence swept through the area, clearing anyone obstructing his path to the barrier hub. Of the three thousand people, fewer than five hundred remained, still resisting desperately."Retreat! Retreat! Ignore the gangs!" shouted a military officer to the troops below, who had already begun withdrawing after Adrian's intervention.The commander, still engaged with the gang members, sensed something amiss and swiftly led his men to the city walls. Unfortunately, Adrian's speed was too swift for them to catch up, and by the

A subordinate rushed to Quintin and shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, scouts ahead have reported that one of the barrier hubs within Sandstone has been destroyed!"Quintin smiled and said, "As expected, Adrian hasn't disappointed me.""What should we do now, sir?""Stick to the original plan! Charge ahead!" Quintin ordered. He wanted to push Sid into a corner. The disruption caused by Adrian and his group within Sandstone was risky. If they did not do their job well outside the city while Adrian's group caused chaos within, it would provide an opportunity for Sid to turn the tide. Right now, they just needed to apply a little force and push Sid into a corner. This way, they could achieve victory at the smallest cost."All troops, follow me into battle!" Quintin ordered, and the entire army was invigorated upon hearing his command. As they progressed, they witnessed one barrier hub after another being destroyed. Their morale soared to its peak as victory was within reach. "How c

There were a total of fifty people standing behind him, some of which were grandmasters Adrian recruited from within Sandstone. Without them, he would not have been able to accomplish this goal. However, now that the barrier had been breached, Adrian had no use for them anymore and disbanded them. It was just that they ignored him and insisted on following him. They had witnessed Adrian's strength, and they believed that by following him, they could also achieve fame and fortune. Moreover, knowing that Sandstone was doomed, they had nowhere else to go."Captain, what do we do now?""We wait," Adrian replied."Wait for what?""We wait for the target to appear," Adrian said as his gaze swept through the Obscura army. The person he wanted to find was Sid. Adrian would not have needed to be so cautious if Sid was not around. In his eyes, Sid was a rare worthy opponent, and he held the latter in high regard. However, now that they had become enemies, whether Sid was a worthy opponent
