Chapter 884
Summon Of The Sword
The sky was dark that day. Dark clouds were closing in, and heavy rain was imminent.
Rachel followed the field doctor to search for the wounded.
Millions died as blood flowed thousands of miles. Both sides suffered countless losses.
On the battlefield, Sean fought to the last with his sword.
He slipped into a coma due to exhaustion.
Countless logistics soldiers had tears streaming down their cheeks.
Willow was slightly stunned, but she gradually began to recompose herself.
She thought of Sean and the long sword in Seanâs hand.
âThen⦠what?â
Willow asked, her voice shaking as her eyes widened.
âThen he was betrayed by his men.
âCrippled, delirious, and cornered, his brotherâinâarms risked his life to get him out.â
Willow froze again at that.
She had vaguely figured out the real answer.
âWhere⦠did he send him?â
Willow asked, gritting her teeth.
âHe sent him to the Quinn family of River City.â
Rachel exhaled gently before speaking slowly.
Willowâs eyes widened as she looked dumbfounded.
She froze on the spot.
The answer had been revealed.
The godâlike hero Rachel mentioned was Sean!
Willow only knew that Sean was a soldier, but she had no idea that Sean had such supreme power in the army.
She knew that Sean had fought and killed enemies, but she had no idea that Sean had such brilliant fighting skills and such distinguished battle achievements!
âItâs⦠Itâs Sean, isnât it?â
Willow bit her red lip. The palm of her hand shook as she held the phone. (1)
âYes! Itâs Commander Lennon!
âThe northwest frontierâs indestructible god of warâCommander Lennon!â
Rachel, who had been sitting down, stood up to show her respect.
Willow was shocked by Rachelâs definitive answer.
She could no longer make out what Rachel said afterward.
âWhile he was guarding the frontier, the enemy falled to breach Dragon Kingdom.
âThe people owe him a great deal to have a peaceful country.
âHe and the soldiers around him are Dragon Kingdomâs iron backbone.
*They are the ones who propped up the entire Dragon Kingdom with their flesh and blood.
âEvery soldier is a hero, and he is also the commander of all heroes!â
Rachel already had tears in her eyes and a twang in her voice as she said this.
âI⦠I see.â
Willow had mixed feelings.
She had admired Sean in the past, and she was now proud of Sean.
She also felt that everything she had done for Sean was worth it.
Even without the arranged marriage, she and the Quinn family should not refuse to take care of such a hero!
âWillow, you mustnât say a word about what I said to anyone, especially his identity.
âThings are uncertain in the Northwest. The man who did this to him still holds an important position in the army.
âIf his identity is exposed, you and he will be in danger.â
Rachel spoke to Willow in a serious tone.
âIs that man tough?â
Willow nodded before asking.
âMore than tough, he usurped Commander Lennonâs position.
âBesides, he has strong connections. You could say that he rules the country.
âIn short, he will go after Commander Lennon if he knew heâs in River City.â
Rachel also felt powerless as she talked about Blaze.
Sean was aloof and did not like dealing with people, while Blaze was smooth and slick in establishing connections.
Blazeâs network was far stronger than Seanâs.
âSo is Sean going to hide here forever and never show himself in public?â
Willow asked, feeling miserable.
Shawn used to be so powerful.It must be hard to live on indegradation in a small city like River City.Willow, remember, an eagle may sometimes flylower than the pheasant, but the pheasantcan never fly higher than the eagle.Everything is temporary, Rachel said,and slowly hung up.Willow put down her phone and savoured Rachel's words.After a while, she left the room ina haze and headed for Sean's room.Sean's room.Swoosh.Swoosh.Sean held a soft cloth in his handas he wiped the long sore gently.He was gentle, as if it were his lover.Do you want to go back?Sean asked softly, holding the hiltand looking at the blade.I know you do.You belong on the battlefield.You should behead your enemies.Sean sighed and put his long sore gently aside.With everything in River City settled, he couldbegin preparations for his return to the northwest.Blaze must pay his debt in blood.
