The Legendary Man

Chapter 956 Declare War
Although Karl's shield was slanted into the ground to decrease the impact of the shockwave, the moment the shockwave
reached the shield, the impact still sent Karl flying backward since he was imbuing the shield with spiritual energy. Without
spiritual energy, the shield shrank to the size of his palm.
Charleigh and the others behind the shield were also affected by the thrust force and were sent flying backward.
“Save them!” Karl bellowed in mid-air, and the spiritual energy in his hand turned into a gigantic hand, grabbing Charleigh.
The four Grandmaster Realm cultivators were working together to weave a large net made of spiritual energy in the air to catch
Ksana and break her fall.
“Bring them away! Find the underground air-raid shelter!” Karl shouted as he summoned his shield.
“Number 1 of Dark Special Forces, Freddie, I need a detailed map of the surrounding area!”
At this moment, Freddie had already established contact with the Eight Kings of War in Harfush.
“Understood!”
Standing on the command deck, Freddie looked in the direction of the first team.
“First team, share a detailed map of the area within five kilometers of Number 1. Mark the nearest underground air-raid shelter
as well as the best route from Number 1's location to the shelter right now!”
“Understood!”
“Gathering the map of Kushburn in Merania.”
“Determining the locations of the five underground air-raid shelters in the area.”
“Quickest route found! Sharing completed!”
A map appeared on the monitors on Karl's and the others' arms with a thick green line marking the route to the nearest
underground air-raid shelter less than fifty meters away.

“Four hundred and fifty meters from the southwest! There's an underground parking lot! Quick!” Karl yelled at the people behind
him.
Upon hearing that, the Grandmaster Realm cultivators didn't hesitate and ran toward the direction Karl had mentioned.
Meanwhile, the fighter jet in the sky had completed its ascent, made a U-turn, and was about to dive again.
“Find a building to hide first! Freddie, I need you to contact Hades!” Karl shouted.
“I'm Hades. Speak.”
Hades' voice rang out from Karl's tactical earpiece.
“Hades, we have already retrieved Charleigh and Ksana. I want to confirm our position with Remdik! We want Charleigh and
Ksana alive, but they want to kill them! If we don't fight them, we will all die here!” Karl shouted at Hades. As he was speaking,
two loud explosions rang out around him.
At this moment, Hades was sitting in his office in Harfush. He propped his hands on his desk while wearing a solemn expression.
How could he not know what Karl was saying?
There were many considerations that needed to be taken into account to ensure the safety of a person in this dire situation.
However, it was extremely easy to kill a person since all the war machines, guns, armor, fighter jets, and missiles were all
developed for the sake of slaughter and annihilation.
It would only require guided missile carpet-bombing to eliminate Charleigh, like how Hades deployed the Eastern Army before
this.
If the Eastern Army's medium-range missiles were fired simultaneously, they would be able to eliminate the entire Merania, not to
mention a few Remdikian cultivators.
However, a full-blown war would ensue if they really did that.
Despite the fact that he was determined to succeed at all costs, Hades still fell into a dilemma when he knew that any decision
he made would affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.
“Hades, you don't have much time to make your decision.”

A short-haired girl wearing a close-fitting leather jacket was sitting across Hades, gazing at him indifferently.
“An hour ago, the Zaidham Army's fighter jets already took off and are now less than a hundred miles away from Kushburn. If we
send troops onto the battlefield now, we can subdue the Remdikian military forces and buy time for Number 1 and the others to
retreat. If we keep hesitating, even if Number 1 and the others weren't killed by the Remdikian fighter jets, the Remdikian
cultivators will catch up to them from behind. By then, all the arrangements you made for the eight major war zones would only
be for show.”
Hades balled his hands into fists and punched the wooden desk, breaking it upon impact.
“Leslie, do you know that the war is not a game you play on a simulator? These soldiers are not just groups of numbers under
your control! They are living, breathing human beings! If I declare war now, at least three hundred thousand soldiers would rush
into battle. Do you know how many families will be ruined?”
“There is no right or wrong in war! You're saying all that because you just don't want to be the sinner who gave the order!
Handing Asura's Office to you might be the worst decision Jonathan has ever made!” Leslie stood up and glared at Hades coldly.
With that, Leslie took a deep breath before continuing, “You called me here to be your advisor, right? Then, let me tell you. If you
don't declare war now, the Dark Special Forces will definitely be eliminated!”
Then, Leslie turned around and left the office.
Hades stared at Leslie's retreating figure, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Leslie was right.
She was an expert in strategizing and relaying orders, and he had summoned her here to help him judge the situation on the
battlefield.
Leslie had already stated her judgment.
Should I declare war? If I don't declare war, the sacrifice of the Dark Special Forces will definitely be inevitable. All of Jonathan's
efforts would be in vain. However, if I declare war, there is no guarantee that we will win. Whatever the outcome, this will require
the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives.
The sound of Leslie's heels echoed in Hades' ears. None of the Kings of War said anything in the public channel.

Everyone was waiting for Hades' command.
These few seconds felt like centuries for Hades.
The moment Leslie walked out of the office, Hades' body went limp as if he had lost all strength, and he slumped into his chair.
“Jeremy, Western King of War, heed my command! The Zaidham Army's fighter jets will immediately enter the battlefield and
attack the Remdikian fighter jets!”
“Understood!” Jeremy replied calmly.
Thousands of miles away in Merania, the Zaidham Army's fighter jets, which were still escorting the Shusonna Army, suddenly
headed in the north direction with a deafening roar.
On the ground, Kane had also issued a military order to the Shusonna Army to advance at full speed.
Meanwhile, Dorian had assembled the Mysonna Army in preparation for battle.
The moment Hades gave his order, Dorian also sent a signal in the direction of Merania.
If Merania dared to make a move, he would personally lead his troops and launch an attack on the country.
The management of the eight major war zones in Chanaea had always known this war was going to happen one day.
However, they had always assumed the war would only commence after they resolved the problems regarding the Yaleview
Army and the eight respectable families.
They never expected Asura's Office's first enemy to be Remdik because of Charleigh's appearance
