Chapter 2667Panting 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 Johnny. “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 wereeven 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!”
noveldramaJohnny 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 moment.
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!”
