Chapter 2602: Wyatt Barnes Is Furious!
"Ares Cooper, Centurion."
Facing Ares Cooper’s proactive greeting, Wyatt Barnes nodded back in response.
On the way here, he roughly understood what had happened.
The Ares Cooper before him was originally Hector Simplicity’s Centurion. Today, after exiting seclusion, he challenged Hector Simplicity. In a situation where Hector Simplicity conceded defeat, he replaced Hector to become the new Centurion, while Hector Simplicity was demoted to Centurion.
"No wonder Hector Simplicity claimed to challenge me, referring to himself as ’Centurion.’"
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Wyatt Barnes came to a sudden realization.
"Centurion!"
"Centurion!"
...
Simultaneously, a respectful chorus of salutations echoed in Wyatt Barnes’ ears.
He looked ahead and saw a group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under his command gathered together, bowing and saluting him in unison.
This somewhat surprised Wyatt Barnes.
Although he knew his previous actions had, to some extent, intimidated his subordinates, he hadn’t expected such a significant change in their attitude towards him afterward.
"Is he the new Centurion Wyatt Barnes?"
"It should be him. Didn’t you see the group formerly under Cairo Yellow, the Centurion’s command, all greeting him proactively?"
"Isn’t he said to be merely a ’Purple Moon Celestial’? If he’s just a Purple Moon Celestial... it’s impossible for the group to show him such respect."
"Who knows... the current situation undoubtedly has everyone speaking their own truths. As for the true strength of this new Centurion, we should all see the results after his battle with Hector Simplicity."
...
Within God of War Valley, a vast assembly of Black Dragon Army soldiers focused their gaze on Wyatt Barnes, scrutinizing him.
Besides the group under Wyatt Barnes, the rest of the Black Dragon Army were seeing the new ’Centurion’ of their army for the first time.
"Unexpectedly, the first time we see this new Centurion, it’s to witness his duel with our army’s seasoned Centurion, Hector Simplicity, who was recently demoted to Centurion."
"I’m curious... just how capable is the individual who could obtain Cairo Yellow’s Centurion badge?"
"This battle is one to anticipate."
...
After a moment’s focus on Wyatt Barnes, the gaze of the Black Dragon Army shifted back to the ’First Battle Arena’ at the center of God of War Valley, focusing on Hector Simplicity.
Wyatt Barnes and Hector Simplicity.
They are the protagonists today!
"Wyatt Barnes, you actually came..."
Hector Simplicity stood on the First Battle Arena in God of War Valley, eyes fixed on Wyatt Barnes, his words brimming with disdain.
"I thought you would choose to hide in your tent, pretending to be in deep seclusion if you knew I was challenging you... But unexpectedly, you actually came!"
Hector Simplicity’s words, full of contempt, were clearly a blatant provocation toward Wyatt Barnes.
All at once.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
Several gazes shifted again from Hector Simplicity back to Wyatt Barnes.
"Arrogant!"
Facing Hector Simplicity’s disdain, Wyatt Barnes stepped into the air, bypassing Black Dragon Army Commander-in-Chief Makai Holland, heading toward the First Battle Arena where Hector Simplicity stood in God of War Valley, calmly responding with just four words.
Whoosh!
As the words fell, Wyatt Barnes floated above the First Battle Arena, overlooking Hector Simplicity.
Swoosh!
Seeing Wyatt Barnes dare to overlook him in such a manner, Hector Simplicity suddenly became furious, his expression changed dramatically.
Whoosh!
Following closely, he quickly ascended into the air, reaching a parallel position with Wyatt Barnes, glaring at him angrily.
On his body, the aura of Immortal Origin already permeated, gathering his strength instantly.
"I really don’t understand, you as a mere Purple Moon Celestial, where do you get the courage to call me Hector Simplicity ’arrogant’!"
Hector Simplicity stared coldly at Wyatt Barnes, speaking in a deep voice.
Wyatt Barnes calmly met Hector Simplicity’s gaze, but seemed disinclined to respond, standing there as steady as a stone statue.
"Of course, I must say you, Wyatt Barnes, do possess some skills... At least, you’ve managed in such a short period to have those under you support you, defend you, and even spread ’false rumors,’ saying you’re not a Purple Moon Celestial, claiming your strength is not inferior to mine, and even surpasses mine!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes not responding, Hector Simplicity’s face grew increasingly grim, his words brimming with violent intent.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Hector Simplicity’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at his subordinates, the group of Black Dragon Army soldiers.
He hadn’t expected that, without his knowledge, this group under him had done so much for him.
Seeing Wyatt Barnes looking over, the Centurion, who had previously been injured by Wyatt, was the first to step forward and said to Wyatt Barnes:
"Centurion, today Centurion Hector Simplicity came to our camp and claimed that after he defeats you and takes your place as our Centurion, he will deal with us harshly..."
"However, we believe in you, Centurion, and that you will never give him that chance!"
As he spoke, the Centurion’s emotions became quite agitated.
"Exactly!"
"Centurion, we believe in you!"
"Centurion, we believe you will never give him the chance to replace you!"
...
Spurred by the Centurion, the group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt Barnes also became excited, all eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Wyatt Barnes, hoping their new Centurion would achieve a great victory!
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Hector Simplicity’s face changed dramatically, glaring angrily at that Centurion under Wyatt Barnes. He never imagined that Wyatt’s subordinates would recount his words in such a setting.
They had to know, the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army was also present at the moment.
To seek personal revenge against subordinates, although not a grave offense within the Black Dragon Army, is still a despicable act!
At least, their Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Army would not stand idly by in the face of such matters.
"Hector Simplicity!"
Sure enough, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ Centurion’s words, Black Dragon Army Commander Makai Holland’s face turned completely dark, and he stared at Hector Simplicity with angry eyes, asking in a deep voice, "Is what he said... true?"
"Commander-in-Chief, I... I was just joking with them..."
Hector Simplicity hurriedly bowed, trying to smile and salvage the situation.
At this point, he knew he couldn’t deny it.
The group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt Barnes, any one of them with a word, could drown him!
"Hmph!"
Makai Holland snorted coldly, giving Hector Simplicity a chilling glance, scaring Hector Simplicity into a cold sweat, and then turned to look at Ares Cooper behind him, saying, "Centurion Ares, if today Hector Simplicity defeats Wyatt Barnes Centurion, taking his place... you will switch with him, taking over Wyatt Barnes Centurion’s subordinates, and letting Hector Simplicity go back to lead his old subordinates."
"It is entirely up to the Commander-in-Chief’s arrangements."
Ares Cooper immediately responded.
"This... the Commander-in-Chief actually made such an arrangement?"
As Makai Holland spoke his arrangement, a group of Black Dragon Army soldiers in War God Valley were momentarily stunned, and once they came to their senses, they began to stir:
"It seems, in this battle... even the Commander-in-Chief favors Centurion Hector Simplicity."
"Isn’t it obvious? If the Commander-in-Chief didn’t favor Centurion Hector Simplicity, would he make such an arrangement?"
"The Commander-in-Chief plans to, after Centurion Hector Simplicity defeats Wyatt Barnes Centurion, takes his place, hand over Wyatt Barnes Centurion’s subordinates to Centurion Ares Cooper... He is doing this to prevent Centurion Hector Simplicity from bullying them after becoming their Centurion!"
"It seems... today Wyatt Barnes Centurion has little chance of winning."
"Now, since even the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t have faith in Wyatt Barnes Centurion, it indicates there is no suspense in this battle."
...
Now, following Makai Holland’s words to Ares Cooper, within War God Valley, almost all Black Dragon Army soldiers, except for those under Wyatt Barnes, believed that Wyatt was doomed to lose!
If they hadn’t witnessed Wyatt in action, upon hearing Makai Holland’s words, even the group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt would have doubted Wyatt’s strength.
But now, even upon hearing Makai Holland’s words, they remained full of confidence in Wyatt.
"With Centurion’s strength, at the very least, he can fight Hector Simplicity to a draw... Hector Simplicity dreaming of becoming our Centurion is just delusional!"
"Centurion’s strength is definitely not inferior to Hector Simplicity’s!"
...
The gaze of the Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt Barnes all focused on him, almost blindly filled with confidence in Wyatt.
"To replace me and deal with my people?"
Hearing the words of the Centurion who had been injured by him last time, Wyatt Barnes was initially stunned, then turned his gaze back to Hector Simplicity, a cold and grim light flickering in his eyes.
"Hector Simplicity!"
In the next instant, Wyatt’s figure flickered, and he, resembling an eagle, soared into the sky.
At the same time, he looked down coldly at Hector Simplicity, sternly shouting:
"I give you three breaths’ time to prepare... You may use all your means!"
"After three breaths, if I, Wyatt Barnes, cannot defeat you in one blow... then this position of Black Dragon Army Centurion, I, Wyatt Barnes, won’t want!"
Wyatt’s voice was icy, and once it rang out, it seemed to drop the surrounding temperature by a few degrees, giving most of the Black Dragon Army soldiers in War God Valley a wintry feeling.
And as Wyatt’s words fell.
War God Valley instantly plunged into a deathly silence once again!
