Lord Protector Novel

Though they were not sure what happened in the aftermath of Zeke's brush with mortality, they supposed that he must have lucked out and ended up learning Planetary Pull.

“Tell me where you've imprisoned the Alpha Suicide Squad,” Zeke demanded.

“I don't know!”

Camul remained as uncompromising as ever as he knew that he was a dead man either way.

“Fine,” Zeke said. “Alfred!”

Alfred then got onto one knee. “I await your orders.”

“Identify five generations of Camul's family, regardless of age and gender, and kill them all!” Zeke declared.

“Understood!” Alfred replied.

“Stop! Stop this!” the cowed Camul cried.

It was only human to succumb to emotional attachment, so he could not possibly bear to see his own family subjected to slaughter.

On top of that, he had only started serving Ares recently and had not developed enough loyalty toward the latter to justify sacrificing his own family for his sake.

“I'll tell you, but you have to leave my family out of this. I beg of you,” Camul said.

“Speak then,” Zeke replied.

His silence counted as consent.

“I had them escorted to the Devonville Restricted Zone under Ares' orders,” Camul replied.

Devonville Restricted Zone!

Zeke's heart skipped a beat.

Curses! Connor has his sights set on the Spirit Stone mine. Does he intend to use the physical bodies of the Alpha Suicide Squad to nurture the mines?

Zeke knew that he had no time to waste.

Thus, he finished Camul off with a singular smite from his palm before he issued his command, “Send word to the Azure Dragon and have them gather at the Devonville Restricted Zone.”

“Understood!” the ten King Class warriors from Azure Dragon who had just arrived responded promptly, and off they went to round up the rest of the Azure Dragon.

Zeke gently lifted Lacey into his arms before he turned to Alfred. “Could I trouble you to accompany me to Devonville Restricted Zone?”

Alfred nodded.

There were two objects to Zeke's trip here. Firstly, to rescue the Alpha Suicide Squad and protect the Spirit Stone mine, and secondly, to harness the spiritual energy of the mine to purge the negative energies from Lacey's body.

Her vitals were stable for now, but she showed no signs of recovering consciousness to date.

He thus suspected that the malice had taken root inside her and saw it imperative to have it purged as soon as possible. Otherwise, she ran the risk of never being able to rouse again.

Zeke stopped in his tracks when they reached the door as he suddenly remembered something. He then turned to regard the villagers. “All of you will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts in protecting my wife after I've suppressed the revolt.”

“Your woe are ours, Great Marshal,” they replied.

“It is our honor to be able to do our part for the spouse of the Great Marshal.”
