Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2594: A Bit Stronger Than You

"The Commander-in-Chief once issued a statement... No matter who it is, as long as they retrieve the ’identity token’ of the fallen Centurion, they can replace that Centurion and become the new Centurion of our Black Dragon Army!"

"Does that mean... this young man in purple will become the new Centurion of our Black Dragon Army?"

"The Centurions of our Black Dragon Army are all powerful Golden Immortals... It is unclear if this young man in purple is a Golden Immortal as well."

"Regardless of whether he is a Golden Immortal or not... since the Commander-in-Chief has issued the statement and he brought back the identity token of our Black Dragon Army’s Centurion, he is bound to be our Black Dragon Army’s new Centurion!"

"Indeed. The Commander-in-Chief has always been true to his word!"

...

Along the way, a group of Black Dragon Army soldiers followed behind Wyatt Barnes and the Black Dragon Army centurion, engaging in spirited discussions amongst themselves.

Their discussions centered entirely around Wyatt.

"However... even if the Commander-in-Chief allows him to become our Black Dragon Army’s new Centurion, I’m afraid the other nine Centurions won’t let him settle into the position so easily, will they?"

"Those nine Centurions... I don’t know about six of them, but three of them will definitely not let him settle into the Centurion’s seat easily. Each of them has a Centurion under their command who has already achieved the rank of ’Scarlet Sun Golden Immortal’!"

"Indeed. Those three Centurions certainly hope that their centurions, who have achieved the rank of Golden Immortal, will replace the deceased Centurion and become the new Centurion."

"So, although the Commander-in-Chief assures his position as our Black Dragon Army’s Centurion, whether he has the ability to keep that position is entirely up to him."

"Yes. After all, our Black Dragon Army has rules: Any Centurion who has reached ’Golden Immortal’ has the right to challenge any of the ten Centurions... once they succeed, they can replace them. The defeated Centurion then becomes a Centurion."

...

The ten Black Dragon Army soldiers following Wyatt Barnes looked at his back, their eyes flickering with curiosity.

They all wondered:

Can this young man in purple, after becoming their Black Dragon Army’s Centurion, hold the position steadily?

"Centurion!"

The Black Dragon Army centurion did not directly take Wyatt Barnes to see the Black Dragon Army Commander-in-Chief. With his position in the Black Dragon Army, he did not have the authority to jump ranks and meet their Commander-in-Chief.

So, he handed Wyatt Barnes over to his superior, a Black Dragon Army Centurion.

This Black Dragon Army Centurion appeared very old, yet was full of spirit.

"Please wait here for a moment... I will go see the Centurion above me and inform him of this, so he can take you to see the Commander-in-Chief."

This Black Dragon Army Centurion also did not take Wyatt directly to see the Black Dragon Army Commander-in-Chief. After greeting Wyatt, he left the Black Dragon Army centurion to accompany Wyatt for the time being and then departed.

"Sir."

At this moment, the Black Dragon Army centurion gave Wyatt Barnes a meaningful look. In the end, he used his voice transmission to inform Wyatt Barnes of all the discussions his soldiers had along the way, reminding him.

The reason he did this to some extent was to befriend Wyatt Barnes.

For him, telling Wyatt Barnes these things cost only a little effort, and it didn’t affect him, while it could help establish a good rapport with the one who was about to become their Black Dragon Army’s Centurion.

Even if this person couldn’t secure the position of Centurion, at the worst, he would still land a role as a Centurion in the Black Dragon Army.

If this person couldn’t hold the position of Centurion either, only ending up as a centurion, then he would consider it a waste of words...

"The Black Dragon Army’s Commander-in-Chief is true to his word; as long as I present the identity token, he will appoint me as the Black Dragon Army’s Centurion?"

"Among the other nine Centurions of the Black Dragon Army, three of them will see me as a threat after I become Centurion? Moreover, they each hope their Centurion, who has already achieved the rank of ’Scarlet Sun Golden Immortal,’ will defeat me, replace me, and become the new Centurion?"

"If that’s the case... will I indeed be reduced to a Centurion?"

"Moreover... even as a Centurion, I will also face challenges from the centurions? If defeated, I will be replaced, reduced to a centurion?"

"Even to the extent... even a centurion, if defeated by his soldiers, will also be replaced?"

These were the things that the Black Dragon Army centurion beside Wyatt Barnes reminded him of.

"Although... these reminders, whether crucial or not, still, I appreciate your warning."

Wyatt nodded to the Black Dragon Army centurion as a gesture of thanks.

"You’re welcome, Sir."

The Black Dragon Army centurion responded with a smile.

"Is it you... who found the identity token of Centurion Cairo Yellow?"

Soon, Wyatt Barnes heard a voice gradually approaching from afar, full of hauteur.

The voice carried the tone of a superior speaking to an inferior.

Shortly after, two figures appeared in Wyatt Barnes’ sight, one leading the other.

The person behind him is the Centurion of the Black Dragon Army who left earlier; he is now following a middle-aged man in black armor with utmost respect.

The middle-aged man is of average build and ordinary appearance, yet every move he makes exudes a sense of superiority, as if he looks down upon all living things and despises everything.

"Centurion of the Black Dragon Army?"

After glancing at the emblem on the chest of the black armor worn by this middle-aged man, Wyatt Barnes guessed his identity again.

As for the Cairo Yellow Centurion mentioned by the other man, it was evidently the owner of the half-corpse Wyatt saw in the smaller world, and also the former owner of the identity token in his hands.

"Sir... This is my superior Centurion, Hector Simplicity. He is also one of the three Centurions who would rather see you unstable in your position as Centurion."

The centurion of the Black Dragon Army sends another message to Wyatt’s ears.

"Among the other nine Centurions in our Black Dragon Army, he is the weakest and could be replaced at any time by those three Centurions who have already achieved the ’Scarlet Sun Golden Immortal’ status."

"I’ve heard... His Centurion, who has achieved ’Scarlet Sun Golden Immortal’ status and is currently in seclusion, plans to challenge him upon emergence and has a high chance of defeating him and taking his place."

"So... Right now, he is probably the person who most wishes for you to be unstable in your position as Centurion."

The centurion of the Black Dragon Army finishes speaking in one breath.

"He is your direct superior... Is it appropriate for you to reveal his ’weaknesses’ to me like this?"

Wyatt Barnes ignores the appearance of Hector Simplicity, who looks down on him, and his gaze falls deeply on the centurion of the Blackarmor Army, asking through transmitted voice.

"Sir..."

Realizing that Wyatt Barnes not only ignored his direct superior, ’Hector Simplicity,’ but was also looking at him with deeper meaning, the centurion of the Black Dragon Army instantly breaks into a cold sweat and quickly lowers his head, not daring to meet Wyatt’s gaze.

Originally, he wanted to further build a good relationship with the purple-clothed youth in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t seem willing to accept his ’goodwill.’

Little did he know that when he divulged the weaknesses of his direct superior ’Hector Simplicity’ to Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt had already disdained him wholeheartedly, let alone considering utilizing or repaying him if he gained power in the future.

Today, this person can betray his direct superior...

In the future, he can also betray Wyatt Barnes!

"Didn’t you hear me talking to you?"

Hector Simplicity’s gaze turns cold as he stares at the purple-clothed youth in front of him, his face barely maintaining composure, but his temper is about to explode!

After all, he is a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army.

Yet today, an outsider dares to ignore him?

"Do you really think... Just because you found that Centurion token, you can become a Centurion of our Black Dragon Army?"

As Hector Simplicity speaks again, his voice grows colder.

At the same time, his gaze towards Wyatt becomes increasingly hostile, as if in a split second, he’s treating Wyatt as an ’enemy.’

"If I am not mistaken..."

Finally, Wyatt Barnes slowly turns his head, gazes at Hector Simplicity, and says flatly, "Whether I can become a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army, is probably not up to you as a mere Centurion, is it?"

"Or perhaps... You mean to say that you can fully represent the Commander-in-Chief of your Black Dragon Army?"

As he finishes, Wyatt Barnes looks deeply at Hector Simplicity.

Swish!

Wyatt Barnes’s words enter Hector Simplicity’s ears like a provocation, causing his face to change dramatically, and he shouts angrily, "Are you seeking death!"

Once he finishes speaking, his Immortal Origin Force begins to leak from his body, with some inability to restrain himself, intending to attack Wyatt Barnes.

"Centurion Sir!"

Just as Hector Simplicity is about to make a move, the Centurion of the Black Dragon Army behind him promptly stops him, "If the Commander-in-Chief knows you are making things difficult for the person who found Cairo Yellow Centurion’s identity token, I’m afraid he won’t be happy."

Upon hearing this from the Centurion behind him, Hector Simplicity then retracts his Immortal Origin Force, while coldly glancing at Wyatt Barnes and laughing disdainfully, "Kid, even if the Commander-in-Chief keeps his promise and appoints you as a Centurion of our Black Dragon Army..."

"It will still depend on whether you have the capability to hold onto the position!"

As he speaks further, Hector Simplicity’s cold smile grows wider.

"No need for you to worry about that."

Wyatt Barnes says indifferently, "Regarding the other Centurions of the Black Dragon Army, I dare not speak... But I think I should be somewhat stronger than you as a Centurion."

"Even if I’m not capable enough to hold onto the Centurion position, I would only be replaced after you."
