209 The Survivors of the Ludwig Army
Old Man Zito acted as if he had not heard the question and focused on the chessboard.
His chess skills were far inferior to Yuzo Quonâs, yet he still wanted to play against Braydon Neal? He was simply asking for trouble.
The white chess pieces on the chessboard were like tigers, and they had the power to swallow mountains and rivers. The tiger occupied half of the chessboard, and it could eat up half of Old Man Zitoâs black chess pieces if they went forward. The retreating chess pieces were impregnable, and there were no loopholes at all.
Yuzo was completely engrossed in the sight as he said in shock, âNo wonder the northern army has never lost a single battle in the northern territory since its establishment. You can see why from the chessboard.â
Playing chess was like life, and it was more like the movement of the troops and setting up an array to fight.
Braydonâs chess style was overbearing. He had the power of the Northern King in his chess-playing. His power suppressed both the black and white sides of the chessboard, oppressing Old Man Zito until he could not fight back.
Today, Braydonâs chess game was secondary. His main purpose was to interrogate Old Man Zito.
Yuzo was a crafty old fox, a king, and a ruthless one at that. It was not easy for him to break through.
Even though Old Man Zito was slippery, he was easier to deal with than Yuzo.
However, Old Man Zito looked desperate. âWeâre just old men. Thereâs really nothing special about us. Youâre young and in a high position. Youâre the leader of the northern territory. Youâre the leader of the powerful black-clothed army. You sweep the world with your power. Can you let me go?â
âSo, you two belonged to the same faction forty years ago!â Braydonâs eyes shone brightly.
Old Man Zito hung his head low while Yuzo lowered his head to count the ants.
The two old men respected and feared Braydon!
They respected the golden Qilin on Braydonâs body, but they were afraid of this youthâs intelligence.
Every time they talked, it was as if the other party could see through their thoughts.
This kind of person was too terrifying!
Braydon moved his fingers slightly and placed the last white piece. The entire chessboard was in a dead end, and the black piece was completely defeated.
âI donât care about your strength,â he said calmly. âWhat I care about is the story behind you two!â
âI want to confirm if there are still any survivors of the Ludwig army back then!â
Braydon stood up calmly and walked back to the living room.
âLudwig army?â Tristan Yandellâs pupils constricted. âTheyâ¦â
However, when Old Man Zito heard the words âsurvivors of the Ludwig armyâ, the black chess piece between his fingers was crushed into pieces.
His murky eyes revealed anger! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Ludwig army only had veterans, no survivors!
Yuzo turned around and spoke in a hoarse voice, âYou are wearing a golden Qilin as your robe! How could you humiliate the Ludwig army!?â
âWeâre not survivors!â
Old Man Zitoâs eyes turned red.
âUncle Zito, whatâs wrong with you?â Logan Hall was shocked by how Old Man Zito was acting.
Braydon stood with his hands behind his back. He stopped at the door of the living room and said softly with his back to the two of them, âLooks like thereâs no need for Luther to secretly investigate your identities!â
There was no need to investigate Yuzo Quon and Old Man Zitoâs identities.
Just based on their current appearance, it was not difficult to tell that they must have belonged to the Ludwig army forty years ago!
Unfortunately, the Ludwig army had already vanished.
Tristanâs expression was very ugly. He really did not expect that these two old things had such a great background. They were actually survivors of the Ludwig army.
The matter of the Ludwig army was extremely complicated. All the elites had been killed forty years ago!
âIf thatâs the case, please leave the Neal family,â Tristan said in a low voice.
âScared now?â Old Man Zitoâs previous unruly attitude was swept away, and a cold smile hung on his lips.
If it was in the past, Tristan would probably be angry.
âI donât need to say anything more,â he said softly. âThe two of you should know that if people find out that the commander has come into contact with the survivors of the Ludwig army, he will be in great trouble!â
When Yuzo and Old Man Zito heard this, a self-mocking smile appeared on their lips.
Was their status that unbearable?
Did they just cause everyone to hate them?
Was the Ludwig army really a disgrace?
When the matter from forty years ago was brought up, Old Man Zito and Yuzoâs eyes turned bloodshot, as though there were flames burning within them.
This was anger!
Even though forty years had passed, the people of Ludwig were still not over it!
Those who belonged to Ludwig were not rebels!
âLittle Monkey, bring Logan down!â Braydon calmly said.
âBig Brother!â Tristan was shocked and wanted to say something.
âGo down!â Braydonâs gaze turned cold.
âYes, Sir!â Tristan turned around and left with Logan.
At the entrance of the villa.
Tristan sighed and asked, âDo you have any cigarettes on you?â
âYes, Big Brother Tristan. What did you mean by âsurvivors of the Ludwig armyâ?â Logan stepped forward to help light the cigarette.
Tristan took a deep breath and exhaled smoke. His eyes were filled with memories.
...
He was silent for ten minutes.
âThe great Yanagi army was the predecessor of the northern army,â he said softly. âDo you know who the predecessor of the Yanagi army was?â
âThisâ¦â
Logan had guessed it, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Could it be the Ludwig army?
âItâs indeed the Ludwig army!â Tristan said in a low voice.
âOh my God!â Logan was stunned.
The northern armyâs predecessor was actually the Ludwig army!
Outsiders did not know about this secret at all.
âThe Northern King is the commander of the northern army,â Tristan said softly.
âThe great Yanagi armyâs commander was my teacher, Finley Yanagi!â
...
âThe commander of the Ludwig army was Xandros Hader!â
â¦
This was the secret file of the northern army, and only a handful of people could access it.
Back then, Tristan had secretly seen some of it.
Logan lit a cigarette for Tristan and probed, âBut why is there no record of the Ludwig army in the five main teams?â
âBecause they are rebels. All traces of their past have been wiped clean!â
Tristan fell silent after saying that.
Logan was completely dumbstruck.
The predecessor of the northern army was actually a rebel army.
How was this possible?
The ten legions of the north guarded the bitter and cold land of the north. There was no grass for thousands of miles and no one for hundreds of miles. They defended the ten national gates with their lives and resisted the attacks of the eight foreign countries.
This loyalty was well known to everyone.
The northern armyâs predecessor, Ludwig, was actually a traitor.
How was this possible?
In the living room of the villa, there were only three people left.
Braydon Neal, Old Man Zito, and Ernest Lanford!
âSit down. No one can touch you in my house!â Braydonâs words were steady and powerful.
âIn your eyes, do you also regard us as the survivors of Ludwig and the rebels?â Old Man Zito was very stubborn.
âThe Ludwig army has never betrayed us!â Braydonâs eyes turned cold.
Old Man Zitoâs eyes turned red.
Ernest no longer referred to himself as Yuzo Quon as his lips quivered, âBack then, we had a total of 700,000 comrades from Ludwig. They were all killed in one night. We hate them!â
His eyes were bloodshot. Even if he died, he would not be able to rest in peace.
The Ludwig incident was riddled with many mysteries back then, and even now, they had not been able to explain it clearly.
Braydon said softly, âLetâs sit down and talk. Back in Small Zito village, I suspected that Old Man Zito was either a hidden agent of the old generation of the north or a survivor of the Ludwig generation.â
That was why Braydon wanted to find out!
No matter what kind of person they were, they were all people that Braydon had to protect.
He had never stopped searching for the people of Ludwig from forty years ago.
Coincidentally, at this moment.
âBig Brother, Hatcher is here!â Tristan hurried over.
âCommander, I found it!â
Outside the door, Captain Hatcher Murphy had no idea what was going on and hurriedly barged in. When he saw Ernest Lanford and Old Man Zito in the room, his eyes turned cold.
