As it was too sudden, the troops nearly launched an attack.
“Hold it! Something seems off. They are our people!” Levi shouted.
He belatedly realized that the people standing in front of him were wearing old and whitish battle suits.
There were veterans from the past few generations!
These people were of different ages. Some of them even had greyish hair.
Levi immediately figured out who they were—Erudia’s veterans!
The veterans might’ve retired, but they would still rejoin the army if a war was happening.
“Thirty-two thousand four hundred and fifty-six veterans from the South, reporting for duty! Please allow us to join your army!”
The over thirty thousand veterans were decked in their military uniforms to defend their country.
“Salute!”
The veterans saluted Levi.
The man returned their salute with a proud smile. “Approved! You can join our army!”
“This is a list of our names. Please take a look at it!” the leader said and handed a name list to Levi.
Levi swept his gaze across the list briefly before handing it to Azure Dragon. “Make the arrangements as soon as possible!”
He gave another salute together with his troops. “Salute the veterans!”
On the way, their army grew.
Veterans, martial artists, ordinary people, and even teenagers wanted to join them.
Of course, Levi didn’t allow everyone that came to them to join his army.
By the time they arrived at the coastal defense, he had around five hundred thousand soldiers at his command.
Back then, they could easily defeat hundreds of countries, but now, everyone was tense.
The opponent they were up against was too strong, so they couldn’t guarantee that they’d win.
The war between Erudia and the Ruling Union was unavoidable.
Most of the third defense barriers in different regions were crumbling. In some areas, the intruders were already starting to attack the fourth line of defense.
Luckily, help had arrived.
Floyd and his troops arrived at the East, where the third line of defense was barely holding on.
“Charge!”
Floyd’s army charged ahead to attack the enemy.
Both sides had plenty of Supreme class martial artists.
Floyd had improved swiftly, so he was now a Rank Four Supreme class fighter.
He combined forces with a few other martial artists and successfully forced the enemy to retreat.
The intruders refused to believe that they had been defeated after advancing smoothly for so long.
Hence, they continued their attack.
It took them eight losses to realize that something was wrong.
They were stronger and more capable than the Erudians, but the latter still managed to defeat them.
The Erudians refused to give up and fought desperately to protect their country.
The Ruling Union might be powerful, but it was just a disorderly mob and would collapse at the first blow.
Soon, nobody dared to go to the frontline.
“Bomb! Bomb them!”
After forcing them to retreat, Floyd and the rest proceeded to retaliate using modern weapons, such as aircraft-mounted artilleries.
Floyd and the others formed an impenetrable wall and stopped the Ruling Union’s advance.
“Erudia is too persistent!”
“They are crazy!”
The Ruling Union wasn’t anticipating Erudia’s retaliation.
“That’s because they sent a lot of Supreme class martial artists to the frontline. Hurry, tell Jared to take his superweapons out!”
