The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 712
An explosion suddenly erupted from the street, making a deafening boom.
Everyone looked over and saw that the SUV driving on the streets had exploded with thick smoke coming from it. The entire
street instantly crumbled, leaving the vehicle stuck in between the cracks that opened up.
At that moment, a voice spoke through everyone’s communicators, “They’re here, sir!”
Naturally, Eira and the others heard this since they were all wearing their communicators.
“They?‘
The women seemed confused for a moment, while Adrian stood up and said, “I see that.”
He watched the halted vehicle, from which five men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits got out. At the same time, more than a
hundred assassins swarmed toward them from the forest.
These assassins were extremely quick, surrounding them from all directions within seconds.
“It’s them!” Ivy said in shock when she saw the assassins.
Immediately after she said this, Eira and the other women trembled, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. The assassins
were sent by Bloody Rose!
Ivy looked at Adrian in shock and asked, “What are they doing here?”
However, Adrian did not answer.
At that moment, the assassins surrounded the SUV, while the Wyvern Peak soldiers drew their daggers. The man leading them
was Storm–a commander at Azure Creek Military Academy.
Storm had flown from Azure Peak under orders to deliver Gardner House’s book to Adrian. However, everything that had
happened seemed to be within Adrian’s expectations.
“Sir, we’ve been completely surrounded! Requesting backup!” Storm said as he carefully looked at his surroundings.
“Prepare for battle.”

“Yes, sir!” Immediately after saying this, Storm said, “Let’s go!”
Storm and the other soldiers instantly charged in separate directions. Seeing this, the assassins instantly took action in an
organized fashion. Their target seemed to be retrieving the book.
Atop the mobtains, Adrian watched everything happen as he said to Ivy, “Send in four of your women to assist them.”
Ivy understood what Adrian meant and took a deep breath. “I’ll go-”
“You and
are to stay behind. I only need four others there,” Adrian said.
Ivy furiously turned her head toward Adrian. “Are you kidding me right now?! Those are assassins trained by Bloody Rose! You
want me to send out four women against more than a hundred of them? Are you crazy?!”
“Pick four and send them in to assist.”
“Why you...”
Ivy continued, “Are you trying to make me send them in to die? Those guys are assassins. We would never dare to go up against
them! Also, I’m their leader, so I should-”
Adrian frowned when he saw Ivy’s disobedience. “I’ll say this again... Send four of your members in to assist them, or do you
want me to repeat myself a third time?”
“I-”
“Forget it, Ivy. If he wants us to die, so be it. I’ll go!”
“Me too!”
“Count me in.”
Four women stood up of their own accord, but it was evident they were quivering a little. After all, they were being asked to go
up against assassins. The very mention of these people was enough to send fear down their spines.

For a moment, Ivy seemed to be at a loss as she looked at her sisters.
