The Legendary Man

Chapter 1021 Alpha Warrior
Hades looked at the soldier solemnly.
Hayes Yeager was currently in charge of guarding Doveston. Although he had been appointed as the Prince of Diyouli, his
straightforward nature meant that he was far closer to Hades than Jason and the others in private.
Moreover, as Hayes just took over Doveston, he still had room for improvement as the guardian of the region.
Therefore, Hayes would come to Hades first if anything happened.
Yet, at present, Hades received news about Doveston through the Intelligence Unit instead of Hayes himself.
To put it simply, Doveston was in trouble. It was highly likely that the news had reached the Intelligence Unit before reaching
Hayes.
Hades' eyes widened, and when he took the call, he asked in an icy tone, “This is Hades. What's going on?”
“I'm a Secret Agent from Asura's Office's Intelligence Unit,” whispered the voice on the other end of the line while panting heavily.
He continued, “I detected a secret transfer of personnel in Remdik. The Remdikian Western Army has mobilized hundreds of
squads of modified warriors and is escorting their hostages to the battlefield at River Onxy.”
“Hostages? What hostages?” Hades quickly asked upon realizing the key part of the person's words.
“The Western Army's— Argh!”
Following a pained cry, the intelligence officer's voice disappeared.
“Hey!” Hades cried out. “The Western Army's what? Speak!”
Beep... Beep... Beep...
All that was left was the call-end tone after a crack sounded on the other end of the phone.
The member of the Intelligence Unit beside Hades hastily tried to re-establish a connection with the other side, but his efforts
were fruitless.

Hades figured that the other intelligence officer must have died.
Jason reached out to pat Hades' shoulder.
“Hades, there will always be casualties. Perhaps the next will be us.”
Hades gave Jason a complicated look before turning to Charleigh.
“I need a large number of Grandmaster Realm cultivators. How long will it take for you to produce them?”
Before Charleigh could say anything, Jason stood between them and questioned, “What are you trying to do?”
There was only one way to get a large number of Grandmaster Realm cultivators for Hades, and that was to get Charleigh's
Alpha Warriors.
However, there was one huge flaw to that type of modified warrior, and it was that they were not sentient.
They were nothing but unfeeling killing machines.
Jonathan had made it clear to Jason that he would only agree to recruit Charleigh if the modified warriors retained their
consciousness and were willingly participating in the project.
However, Hades, the chief of Asura's Office himself, was going to break that rule.
Charleigh quietly looked at Hades.
He strongly advocated the usage of Alpha Warriors in battles.
After all, both Alpha Warriors and Beta Warriors were Grandmaster Realm cultivators.
Although Beta Warriors possessed a mind of their own, the cost of creating them was much higher than that of creating Alpha
Warriors.
The high mortality rate was part of its costliness, as well as the complexity of creating the drug.
One thing that Beta Warriors trumped over Alpha Warriors was that they had more variations in their battling method.
That was because the modification had not harmed their mind, so they could make improvisations on the battlefield.

On the other hand, Alpha Warriors could only work according to the orders they were given like mindless machines.
However, this was a flaw that could be offset by increasing their numbers.
Therefore, Alpha Warriors would be the better choice if they were only considering the costs of the project and success rate.
It was also why Remdik stopped supporting Charleigh's research once Charleigh came up with Beta Warriors.
They had gotten everything they needed for their battles with Alpha Warriors, the killing machines.
At that moment, Charleigh was stripped of his cultivation level and was now a mere mortal.
Moreover, he was only a captive researcher in Chanaea. He had no right to interfere with any plans they made.
Concurrently, Jason was looking at Hades in disbelief.
“Hades, what are you thinking about? Have you forgotten what Mr. Goldstein told us when he left Charleigh in our hands? Look
at the people outside. Are you going to make them all mindless monsters? Are you f*cking out of your mind?”
“Do you think I want this?” Hades glared at Jason with reddened eyes. “Tell me how I'm supposed to deal with Doveston's crisis,
then! Did you not hear what the intelligence officer who just died said? Remdik has mobilized hundreds of squads of modified
warriors, and the modified warriors that Charleigh made are Grandmaster Realm cultivators! Tell me, what am I supposed to do
to fend off hundreds of Grandmaster Realm cultivators?” Hades bellowed in Jason's face as he gripped the latter's collar.
“Half of Asura's Office's Grandmaster Realm cultivators were transferred to Merania by the Dark Special Forces, and they died
there. Are you going to fend off the hundreds of Grandmaster Realm cultivators by yourself? Am I supposed to do that myself?
Or should we get Mr. Goldstein to help us fend off the cultivators?” Hades continued shouting before shoving Jason aside.
“Charleigh, how long will it take you to mass-produce Alpha Warriors?”
Charleigh glanced at Jason before replying, “Alpha Warriors were my first product and my most developed research. However,
it's also my ultimate failure. The gene-based drugs for Alpha Warriors were not modified for each cultivator. Instead, I came up
with an aggressive gene-based drug. Back then, I thought I should develop a drug for all. It was only later on I realized that gene-
based drugs should be modified according to the recipient's genes. That's why I started researching the drug for Beta Warriors. If
you're in urgent need of soldiers, then I can create a thousand doses of Alpha Warrior's drugs. As long as the mortality rate isn't
something you're factoring in, I can create a squad of at least a hundred Grandmaster Realm cultivators in three days' time.”

While Charleigh was speaking, Jason grabbed hold of a scalpel.
Sensing Jason's burning gaze on him, Hades gave him a frigid look.
“Jason, I hope you remember that I'm the current chief of Asura's Office while you're only the chief of the special medical team.
Saving people is your job. You'll be committing insubordination if you attack me. Also, you're no match for me in a battle.”
As Hades spoke, he clenched his right fist.
A huge force from behind Jason abruptly shoved him closer to Hades.
Lifting his right hand, Hades then tapped Jason's neck and rendered him unconscious easily.
“Someone bring Jason away for him to get some rest.”
After ordering his subordinates to take Jason away, Hades turned back to Charleigh and said, “Prep enough drugs to make at
least three hundred Alpha Warriors. We'll start tonight, and I'll be bringing the men here to take the doses.”
