Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2597: The New Centurion

"Today, Wyatt Barnes, having retrieved the identity token left behind by the fallen Centurion Cairo Yellow... I, Makai Holland, Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army, hereby fulfill the promise made in the past and appoint him as the new Centurion of the Black Dragon Army, taking over the one thousand soldiers previously under Centurion Cairo Yellow!"

After hearing Wyatt Barnes’s name, Makai Holland, the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army, spoke in a timely and thunderous voice, his words imbued with a powerful Immortal Origin Force. In no time, his voice spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Army camp.

Everyone who was currently in the Black Dragon Army camp could clearly hear Makai Holland’s voice at this time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Makai Holland finished speaking, three figures swiftly emerged from the tents of the nearby Centurions and immediately rushed to the side of Wyatt Barnes, Makai Holland, and Hector Simplicity.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

...

The three who came out from the Centurions’ tents greeted Makai Holland and then all turned their gaze simultaneously towards Wyatt Barnes.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes, my name is Daxton Cruz, also a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army... In the future, I hope to learn from you."

The amiable-looking elderly man among the three was the first to greet Wyatt Barnes.

"Eastern Dunn!"

The other, a cold-faced young man who had not changed his expression since his appearance, gave Wyatt Barnes a slight nod. After briefly introducing himself in a few words, he did not say anything more.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes, don’t mind him... Centurion Eastern Dunn has always been a man of few words. Once you get to know him over time, you’ll get used to it."

Finally, the middle-aged man who always seemed to wear a smile said to Wyatt Barnes with a grin, "My name is Omari Moran, a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army... In the future, Centurion Wyatt Barnes, I hope to learn from you."

"I am Wyatt Barnes, and I hope to learn a lot from you three Centurions in the future as well."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile to the three Centurions of the Black Dragon Army.

"Gentlemen... This Wyatt Barnes is only a ’Purple Moon Celestial’. Who knows how long he will last as a Centurion. So, there’s no need to be too enthusiastic about him, because with his abilities, at most, he could serve as a Centurion in the Black Dragon Army."

At this moment, Hector Simplicity, who was standing aside, deliberately reminded the three newly appeared Centurions of the Black Dragon Army.

"Purple Moon Celestial?"

Upon hearing Hector Simplicity’s words, Daxton Cruz, the elderly man among the Centurions, furrowed his brows, and his kind demeanor turned a bit colder.

Omari Moran, the Centurion mentioned, also had his smile freeze at that moment, with a hint of disdain flashing in his deep gaze.

Only Eastern Dunn, the Centurion of the Black Dragon Army, seemed merely a bit surprised, casting a quick glance at Wyatt Barnes without displaying any other emotions.

Compared to the other two Centurions of the Black Dragon Army, his demeanor remained largely unchanged.

Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran just greeted Commander-in-Chief Makai Holland and then returned to their respective tents without looking at Wyatt Barnes again.

It was as if looking at Wyatt Barnes for another moment would cost them dearly.

Only Eastern Dunn, after nodding to greet Makai Holland, also nodded and greeted Wyatt Barnes before returning to his tent.

Wyatt Barnes was not surprised by the change in attitude from the warm to cold of Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran.

When Hector Simplicity mentioned that he was just a ’Purple Moon Celestial’, Wyatt Barnes hadn’t intended to explain further, and he anticipated the scenario unfolding before his eyes...

However, he did not expect that even after knowing he was only a Purple Moon Celestial, Eastern Dunn would still take the initiative to greet him before leaving.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes felt a greater sense of appreciation for Eastern Dunn.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes."

Meanwhile, Makai Holland, the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army, called out to Wyatt Barnes, then pointed to one of the tents to the south, "That is the tent where Centurion Cairo Yellow used to reside... From today onwards, as long as you are the Centurion of the Black Dragon Army, this tent will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes looked over to the tent that Makai Holland pointed at, his eyes shining brightly.

It’s known that his reason for coming to the Black Dragon Army camp was for the training environment here.

Now, with the words of Makai Holland, the Command-in-Chief, he had a place to stay in the Black Dragon Army camp, and it was also the area with the best training environment in the entire camp.

Even if you look at the surrounding area of Bloodshade City, the training environment here is only second to the ’Cultivation Chamber’ that the City Lord of Bloodshade City uses regularly.

Of course, the training environment here is not much worse than that of Bloodshade City’s City Lord’s Cultivation Chamber.

For now, at least, he is satisfied.

"Centurion Hector Simplicity."

Soon, Makai Holland’s gaze fell on Hector Simplicity, and he said calmly, "Now, you are to take Centurion Wyatt Barnes to meet the soldiers under his command who remain in the Black Dragon Army camp... familiarize yourself with them."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Even though Hector Simplicity had a hundred, a thousand unwilling thoughts in his heart, he still respectfully complied.

Makai Holland returned to his tent afterward.

Hector Simplicity glanced coldly at Wyatt Barnes and said, "I really don’t know what Commander-in-Chief is thinking... With your cultivation level, it’s impossible for you to stay long in the position of Centurion of our Black Dragon Army."

"In such circumstances... you don’t need to meet those soldiers who were originally under Cairo Yellow, the Centurion."

As he spoke further, Hector Simplicity revealed his thoughts.

"What? Centurion Hector Simplicity, are you planning to defy Commander Holland’s orders?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced nonchalantly at Hector Simplicity and asked.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Hector Simplicity’s face couldn’t help but change, and after glaring fiercely at Wyatt Barnes, he led the way ahead...

He was merely speaking earlier.

He wouldn’t dare to disobey the orders from their Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army.

"Wyatt Barnes, now that you are part of our Black Dragon Army, you must address the Commander-in-Chief as ’Commander-in-Chief’ when you meet him in the future... If you continue to call him ’Commander Holland’, it would be greatly disrespectful!"

As Wyatt Barnes caught up, Hector Simplicity lectured him with a tone of superiority, but Wyatt Barnes ignored him.

Not only did Wyatt Barnes not respond, but he also didn’t even raise an eyebrow, remaining expressionless.

Instantly, Hector Simplicity’s face turned even darker.

Immediately after, he stopped making a fuss, closed his mouth, and quietly led Wyatt Barnes to the location of the former Centurion Cairo Yellow’s thousand soldiers’ encampment.

The Black Dragon Army camp is divided into eleven regions.

One of the regions is the area where the Commander-in-Chief and Centurions of the Black Dragon Army’s living quarters are located. Usually, unless they leave the camp, the Commander-in-Chief and Centurions train there.

As for the other ten regions, each contains one thousand tents, which accommodate one thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Army.

In each region, the thousand soldiers are under the jurisdiction of one Centurion of the Black Dragon Army.

Now, Hector Simplicity is leading Wyatt Barnes to the encampment where the thousand soldiers once under the command of Cairo Yellow were stationed.

As Wyatt Barnes followed Hector Simplicity across the skies above the Black Dragon Army camp.

The camp was anything but silent.

All because of the statement issued earlier by the Black Dragon Army Commander-in-Chief, Makai Holland...

"Wyatt Barnes? Centurion?"

"That person named ’Wyatt Barnes’ seems to have gotten lucky by finding the identity token left behind by Centurion Cairo Yellow... Because of this, as soon as he entered our Black Dragon Army camp, he became a Centurion."

"No one knows his true strength... If his strength isn’t formidable, although he is now a Centurion in our Black Dragon Army, he might not be able to keep that seat steady."

"True."

"I think... since he could find the identity token left behind by Centurion Cairo Yellow, it indicates he’s got some skill."

"Indeed. Before the Commander-in-Chief issued the statement, several Centurions had gone to the last area where Centurion Cairo Yellow appeared to find his identity token, but none succeeded."

"This Wyatt Barnes is surely not simple."

...

The Black Dragon Army camp was abuzz with discussions about Wyatt Barnes.

Some doubted whether Wyatt Barnes had the strength to keep his position as Centurion stable, while others believed that since he could find Cairo Yellow’s lost identity token, he certainly had the strength to hold his position.

"If his strength isn’t enough... it won’t be long before someone replaces him!"

"Yes. Currently, there are three Centurions in the Black Dragon Army who have achieved the ’Golden Immortal’ status... One of them, once out of seclusion, might very likely defeat his superior, Centurion Hector Simplicity, and replace him!"

"He is new here... If the other two Centurions who aren’t in seclusion are still in the Black Dragon Army camp, they might soon challenge him to test his strength."

"It’s really something to look forward to..."

...

The Black Dragon Army camp was filled with anticipation, with many eagerly awaiting the scenes where the Centurions who had become ’Golden Immortals’ challenged the newly arrived Centurion Wyatt Barnes.

"Who knows... how strong is our new Centurion really?"

"If his strength isn’t as good as our former Centurion’s... our days in the Black Dragon camp might not be as good as before."

"Hopefully he won’t disappoint us."

...

At the same time, many soldiers who were under the deceased Centurion Cairo Yellow gathered together.

In their conversation, there was also a hint of worry.
