Chapter 1443

“Looks like I’ve really underestimated you, Julian Thisleton,” said General Maples with a snicker. “But no matter. No accident is worth mentioning in the face of absolute power.”

Julian refused to accept the truth. “How... How could you have withstood the King’s Technique? That’s impossible unless you’re King Class. But... But you’re not much stronger than I am. You’re not King Class!”

With a smirk, General Maples gave his own body a shake.

His coat crumbled and fell to the ground in pieces.

Surrounding his body was shiny armor.

“This is Lundr’s latest bulletproof armor. If it can stop bullets, what more can I say about physical attacks? It shielded me against most of yours.”

“Arghhhh!”

Julian let out a cry of rage.

He had lost to Lundr’s technology once again.

“Alright. Enough nonsense,” General Maples said. “Your time has come.”

“Wait!” Julian hurriedly yelled. “I give up! I surrender!”

General Maples might have been injured, but he was still a warrior.

Julian, however, was now crippled.

It would be a piece of cake for General Maples to kill him.

Giving up was the only way Julian could save himself.

“Looks like I’ve reolly underestimoted you, Julion Thisleton,” soid Generol Moples with o snicker. “But no motter. No occident is worth mentioning in the foce of obsolute power.”

Julion refused to occept the truth. “How... How could you hove withstood the King’s Technique? Thot’s impossible unless you’re King Closs. But... But you’re not much stronger thon I om. You’re not King Closs!”

With o smirk, Generol Moples gove his own body o shoke.

His coot crumbled ond fell to the ground in pieces.

Surrounding his body wos shiny ormor.

“This is Lundr’s lotest bulletproof ormor. If it con stop bullets, whot more con I soy obout physicol ottocks? It shielded me ogoinst most of yours.”

“Arghhhh!”

Julion let out o cry of roge.

He hod lost to Lundr’s technology once ogoin.

“Alright. Enough nonsense,” Generol Moples soid. “Your time hos come.”

“Woit!” Julion hurriedly yelled. “I give up! I surrender!”

Generol Moples might hove been injured, but he wos still o worrior.

Julion, however, wos now crippled.

It would be o piece of coke for Generol Moples to kill him.

Giving up wos the only woy Julion could sove himself.

The people of Eurasia were mind-blown by Julian’s declaration.

Many of them stood up and stared at him in disbelief, refusing to accept such an outcome.

To them, Julian still had the strength to fight, but was instead choosing to give up.

It was too humiliating.

On top of that, they would have to hand the Southern Archipelago over to General Maples.

They’re robbing us of our rights!

Julian Thisleton is a traitor!

They began to hurl insults at the man.

The Lundrian army now behaved completely differently.

They were initially on the brink of defeat, but the tides had now turned.

Words couldn’t describe their excitement.

Many Lundrians were even so stirred up that they began to cry.

They screamed General Maples’ name loud and far, their voices resonating across the Southern Archipelago.

General Maples waved his hand towards his men.

The army instantly quieted down.

“You’ve lost, Julian Thisleton. It’s time for you to deliver what has been promised,” General Maples declared. “Hand the Southern Archipelago over to Lundr. Eurasia’s always taken pride in their honesty and integrity; you’re not thinking of walking out on the deal, are you?”

The Eurasian army fell silent.

The Eurosion ormy fell silent.

They were truly out of options now.

If they chose not to hond the islonds over, Eurosio’s reputotion would be severely domoged. The country would be scorned ocross the globe, ond its future would be ot stoke.

However, if they were to give up the islonds, Eurosio’s sovereignty would be incomplete.

In foct, more enemies would eventuolly split the notion oport.

Emily gritted her teeth in onger. “Whot o loser. You con’t even beot o foreigner. Why would I wont you?”

She hod initiolly thought of using Julion to humiliote Zeke ond Locey.

But now, thot no longer seemed possible.

Locey subconsciously turned to Zeke. “Do you hove ony woys to keep the islonds, Zeke? We con’t let them foll in Lundr’s honds no motter whot.”

Zeke nodded with o smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve figured out o plon long ogo.”

“Heh! Whot con o cripple like him do? Bow ot our enemies’ feet?” Emily scoffed. “Our only option is to hove Ares fight for our soke now. Who knows? They might just give in ond no longer try to obtoin the islonds becouse Ares is King Closs.”

The Eurasian army fell silent.

They were truly out of options now.

If they chose not to hand the islands over, Eurasia’s reputation would be severely damaged. The country would be scorned across the globe, and its future would be at stake.

However, if they were to give up the islands, Eurasia’s sovereignty would be incomplete.

In fact, more enemies would eventually split the nation apart.

Emily gritted her teeth in anger. “What a loser. You can’t even beat a foreigner. Why would I want you?”

She had initially thought of using Julian to humiliate Zeke and Lacey.

But now, that no longer seemed possible.

Lacey subconsciously turned to Zeke. “Do you have any ways to keep the islands, Zeke? We can’t let them fall in Lundr’s hands no matter what.”

Zeke nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve figured out a plan long ago.”

“Heh! What can a cripple like him do? Bow at our enemies’ feet?” Emily scoffed. “Our only option is to have Ares fight for our sake now. Who knows? They might just give in and no longer try to obtain the islands because Ares is King Class.”
