The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 884

The sky was dark that day. Dark clouds were closing in, and heavy rain was
imminent.

Rachel followed the field doctor to search for the wounded.

Millions died as blood flowed thousands of miles. Both sides suffered countless
losses.

On the battlefield, Sean fought to the last with his sword.

He slipped into a coma due to exhaustion.

Countless logistics soldiers had tears streaming down their cheeks.

Willow was slightly stunned, but she gradually began to recompose herself.
She thought of Sean and the long sword in Sean’s hand.

“Then... what?”

Willow asked, her voice shaking as her eyes widened.

“Then he was betrayed by his men.

“Crippled, delirious, and cornered, his brother—in—arms risked his life to get him
out.”

Willow froze again at that.

She had vaguely figured out the real answer.

“Where... did he send him?”

Willow asked, gritting her teeth.

“He sent him to the Quinn family of River City.”

Rachel exhaled gently before speaking slowly.

Willow's eyes widened as she looked dumbfounded.

She froze on the spot.

The answer had been revealed.

The god-like hero Rachel mentioned was Sean!

Willow only knew that Sean was a soldier, but she had no idea that Sean had
such supreme power in the army.

She knew that Sean had fought and killed enemies, but she had no idea that
Sean had such brilliant fighting skills and such distinguished battle
achievements!

“It's... It's Sean, isn't it?”

Willow bit her red lip. The palm of her hand shook as she held the phone. (1)
“Yes! It's Commander Lennon!

“The northwest frontier’s indestructible god of war—-Commander Lennon!”
Rachel, who had been sitting down, stood up to show her respect.

Willow was shocked by Rachel's definitive answer.

She could no longer make out what Rachel said afterward.

“While he was guarding the frontier, the enemy falled to breach Dragon
Kingdom.

“The people owe him a great deal to have a peaceful country.

“He and the soldiers around him are Dragon Kingdom's iron backbone.

*They are the ones who propped up the entire Dragon Kingdom with their flesh
and blood.

“Every soldier is a hero, and he is also the commander of all heroes!”

Rachel already had tears in her eyes and a twang in her voice as she said this.
“l... 1 see.”

Willow had mixed feelings.

She had admired Sean in the past, and she was now proud of Sean.

She also felt that everything she had done for Sean was worth it.

Even without the arranged marriage, she and the Quinn family should not refuse
to take care of such a hero!

“Willow, you mustn’t say a word about what I said to anyone, especially his
identity.

“Things are uncertain in the Northwest. The man who did this to him still holds an
important position in the army.

“If his identity is exposed, you and he will be in danger.”

Rachel spoke to Willow in a serious tone.

“Is that man tough?”

Willow nodded before asking.

“More than tough, he usurped Commander Lennon's position.

“Besides, he has strong connections. You could say that he rules the country.
“In short, he will go after Commander Lennon if he knew he’s in River City.”
Rachel also felt powerless as she talked about Blaze.

Sean was aloof and did not like dealing with people, while Blaze was smooth and
slick in establishing connections.

Blaze’s network was far stronger than Sean's.

“So is Sean going to hide here forever and never show himself in public?”
Willow asked, feeling miserable.

Shawn used to be so powerful.lt must be hard to live on indegradation in a small
city like River City. Willow, remember, an eagle may sometimes flylower than the
pheasant, but the pheasantcan never fly higher than the eagle Everything is
temporary, Rachel said,and slowly hung up.Willow put down her phone and
savoured Rachel's words.After a while, she left the room ina haze and headed for
Sean's room.Sean’s room.Swoosh.Swoosh.Sean held a soft cloth in his handas
he wiped the long sore gently.He was gentle, as if it were his lover.Do you want
to go back?Sean asked softly, holding the hiltand looking at the blade. know you
do.You belong on the battlefield. You should behead your enemies.Sean sighed
and put his long sore gently aside.With everything in River City settled, he
couldbegin preparations for his return to the northwest.Blaze must pay his debt in
blood.
