Panting heavily, Johnny said, “H-Hurry up and bring the first-aid kit here. Tend to his wounds. He mustn't die.”
Johnny couldn't allow Speedy to die because they had to obtain more information from him regarding the situation
at Southern Faction.
Everyone immediately got to work and began treating Speedy's injuries.
After some time, they were done bandaging his wounds and managed to preserve his life temporarily.
Johnny sighed. “Where's Northern King? Swiftly relay to him that I have something important to report.”
“That's not needed.” Northern King's booming voice suddenly rang out.
He heard the commotion earlier and decided to come out to take a look.
Upon noticing something was wrong, he quickly rushed over.
Everyone hurriedly knelt when they saw Northern King. “Greetings, Northern King.”
Not having the attention to spare to deal with the others, Northern King immediately directed his question at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohnny. “Johnny, what's the matter? I sent you to Northern Faction's Centuria to collect rent, but why did you bring
Southern Faction's rent collector back here with you?”
Johnny replied while breathing heavily, “Northern King, b-bad news. When I arrived at Northern Faction's Centuria, I
discovered that Golden Cicada's base was vacated and desolate. There were even traces suggesting a violent battle
had taken place there. So, I went to Golden Cicada's training room to look for him. In the end, I saw all members of
his Centuria had been beheaded, and they seemed to have died for quite some time already. At that instant, the
first thought that entered my mind was that Southern Faction's Centuria did that. Hence, I wanted to go and
confront them.”
Johnny paused briefly before continuing, “Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon Speedy at Northern Faction's buffer zone.
Speedy suffered grave injuries, and his life was hanging by a thread. Due to the urgent circumstances, I had to
prioritize bringing Speedy back, as he would've died if I had first gone to interrogate Southern Faction. After all, I
can deal with Southern Faction at any time. On our way back, I got a brief understanding of the situation from
Speedy and f-found out...”
Northern King hastily asked, “Tell me what you found out quickly!”
Johnny took a deep breath. “I discovered Southern and Northern Faction's Centurias might've betrayed us.”
What?
Northern King slammed the tabletop and got to his feet furiously.
“How dare these insignificant Centurias turn against us. They deserve to die! Johnny, explain everything to me in
detail. Are you sure they've truly betrayed us?”
Johnny quickly responded, “Northern King, I didn't have the time to visit Southern Faction to investigate further, so
I'm not sure about the details. Why don't I let Speedy answer your questions? He's the most qualified to give an
account of what had happened.”
Everyone shifted their gazes onto Speedy.
Speedy had just barely escaped death after receiving emergency treatment and was extremely weak at that

Still, the mention of Southern and Northern Faction's Centurias immediately invigorated him.
“Both Centurias have committed heinous crimes for daring to betray us. Northern King, please deliver justice on
behalf of heaven by eliminating them.”
Northern King said, “Speedy, elaborate the whole story to me. Don't worry. I will avenge you!”
Speedy swiftly began to recount the incident.
“I went to Southern Faction Centuria to collect Spirit Stone earlier today. To my surprise, they'd changed their leader
without informing Legatus. This newly-appointed leader was extremely arrogant and full of himself. After I asked
him a few questions, he beat me up and even tried to kill me. Fortunately, I was strong enough, so I managed to
escape with much difficulty even though the people at Southern Faction ganged up on me. Southern and Northern
Factions' Centurions also mentioned they wouldn't be offering Legion their Spirit Stones as tribute in the future.
Naturally, that wasn't the most significant issue. Most importantly...”
At that point, Speedy's face became contorted with rage as he balled his fists in a fury.
Northern King probed impatiently, “Speedy, keep talking. What's the main concern?”
“They're refining Grade Two spiritual iron and are forging Dark Level divine weapon. They plan to rebel and even
declared their intention to wipe out our Legion!”
