Dragon Lord Crane Smith novel Chapter 24

"Like I said, I'm just an inadequate soldier of the Cryptoclidus Palace."

This Tiger Guard soldier said indifferently, without the slightest bit of pride in defeating Brian, which made Brian highly despised.

Naturally, Brian did not believe in the words of this Tiger Guard soldier.

"How can you be just an ordinary soldier since your battle prowess is such that you can at least reach the position of a commander in the army!"

Brian questioned in a cold voice.

In his opinion, this person was probably an outside helper invited by Crane for the purpose of dealing with him.

But!

"Hahahaha!"

"I'm laughing my ass off. He thinks that beating one man is a master, it is the funniest joke I've heard in decades of living."

"Yeah, I wonder if this guy is out of his mind."

"You can say that, none of these men in the territory have been on many missions, all they do is train and drill all day long. I guess there's minimal blood on their hands, they know nothing about what's going on outside our borders."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a comfortable life, but it's also naive and ignorant. Outside the borders, in our Cryptoclidus Palace, this is all common knowledge like eating tea and drinking water."

Nonstop snickers from the Tiger Guard soldiers.

Crane also let out a light laugh at this time.

"Back then, I proposed to the Grand Marshal of your internal forces that the soldiers in the territory should be allowed to try out on the battlefield outside of the country in order to enhance their combat qualities, but he didn't listen to me and chose to let you become flowers in a hothouse instead, how sad and lamentable."

He shook his head repeatedly.

These men of the military looked great, but they were limited to the territory.

Once they took on those terrifying forces outside of their borders, they would all be wiped out in a matter of moments.

It was not a joke, but a fact!

"Who the hell are you?"

Brian's expression was slightly bitter.

He had come into contact with the Border Soldiers, but to say that to defeat him across the ranks and kill him in seconds couldn't be something that a random soldier could do.

The identity of this group of people was only going to exceed his imagination.

But in the next second, he seemed to associate it with something else, and his brow twitched slightly in abruptness.

"Are you from the Cryptoclidus Brigade?"

"Cryptoclidus Brigade?"

Crane froze for a moment.

So did everyone else.

What the hell was this?

Brian didn't notice the crowd's surprise, but instead became more and more excited.

"That's right, you must come from Cryptoclidus Brigade."

"I've never heard of the name Cryptoclidus Palace, but now that I think it's right, you guys must be from Cryptoclidus Brigade!"

"Cryptoclidus Brigade, that is the first brigade of the Northwest Frontier Military of War, legend has it that the minimum threshold for recruiting must be a soldier king, a king among thousands of soldiers!"

"But!"

Brian jerked his head up and stared at Crane with a deadly stare.

"Even if you are from Cryptoclidus Brigade, you are not qualified to return to the territory privately, not to mention that this is the southeast, not your northwest!"

"......"

Kevin couldn't help but touch his forehead.

It seemed this guy misunderstood something.

Although they had returned from the North, they were genuinely ignorant of the division of the Military of Wars within the territory.

It was just that Brian recognized this truth, and he looked at Crane and the others angrily.

"Knowing how dangerous your situation is, yet your soldiers insist on following you, Brian, your prestige is good."

Crane laughed.

Brian Duncan was indeed a talent, or he couldn't have gotten so many people willing to die for him.

Just!

"Are you not getting the picture?!"

"Finley invited me here? Ask him, is he qualified to do so?"

"No, no!" Finley said hastily.

Just kidding, even if they were rebels, they were still figures that a governor of a state like John had to treat with caution, how could they be invited by a business like him in Stone City?

Brian raised his eyebrows and was just about to say something, but an angry cursing sounded in his ears.

"Brian Duncan!"

"It was your family that was at fault for bullying Mr. Smith's wife and his daughters, and that's how your family ended up in this situation."

"I, John Porter, can bear witness to this matter, and I will not change my words, even if the Ministry of War gives me crime!"

John was enraged at the sight of Brian's stance of making up his own mind without asking about what had happened.

"John Porter?"

This time it was Brian's turn to freeze.

He sized up John carefully.

The reason why he didn't recognize John before was because Brian had lived in the military for many years, but the name John was one he had definitely heard of.

"You are the governor of Q State, John Porter?"

"That's right! It's me!"

John's voice rang out in response to Brian's last shred of doubt.
