Chapter 1304: Chapter 880: I Have the Final Say Chapter 1304: Chapter 880: I Have the Final Say For the people of the Paretia Kingdom, it was a day to be deeply remembered.

Among the fluttering petals and bell tolls, the fully-armed Paretia army and adventurers marched out of the Royal City gates to the cheers of the citizens, heading towards the Northern Fortress.

Watching the departing troops, everyone couldn’t help but pray, praying that they would be able to reclaim the Northern Land and make the Paretia Kingdom a peaceful world once more…

Indeed, fortunately, those excited cheering citizens on both sides of the street were unaware that the military camp was already in turmoil.

“What did you say?!”

The nobles’ angry shouts were resounding one after another, while Duanmu Huai just stood there, looking at them indifferently, and then waved his hand.

“Don’t understand human speech? Let me repeat it, we will decide how to act on our own, and no one has the authority to command us!”

Indeed, this was the reason for the tense atmosphere; during the first military meeting of the United Army, Duanmu Huai directly stated in front of everyone, “We will not take orders from anyone; we will operate autonomously based on battlefield conditions.”

And it was this statement that made all the nobles present explode.

After all, Duanmu Huai and Your Highness Anisphere were the only two forces capable of resisting the Demon Clan and Demon Beasts in the air. Everyone wanted their protection, and the nobles even tried to seize the command of this squad during the military meeting. However, Duanmu Huai dismissed them outright without a second word!

“Do you mean you won’t even listen to His Highness Algard’s orders?”

“Of course.”

Glancing at the blond young man sitting silently in the middle, Duanmu Huai snorted.

“I’ve already said, I represent the Tribunal here for cooperation, but the cooperation is just that, the Tribunal is not your subordinate; we have the authority to make decisions autonomously. I believe the King of Orphen must have informed you of this. So, how the Tribunal acts is our own business and not your concern.”

“What about Her Highness Anisphere?! She is the Princess of our Paretia Kingdom!”

Hehehe, previously ignoring Anisphere, and now thinking of treating her as a princess?

“So what? Anisphere is under my jurisdiction and acts on my command. This is a military operation; no one should disobey the command. It’s that simple.”

“You, what right do you have to make such a decision?”

Just because I am part of the honorable Air Force, what significance do you fourth-rate bunch hold!

Duanmu Huai silently retorted in his mind, looking expressionlessly at the red-haired noble youth daring to protest in front of him, and scoffed disdainfully.

And this scoff seemed to also infuriate the red-haired noble.

“Answer me, you barbarian, I don’t know what kind of Tribunal you’re talking about, but we are representatives sent by the Magic Department, you are being so rude ——–”
However, before the red-haired noble could finish his sentence, Duanmu Huai straightaway reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up directly.

“I don’t care about any Paretia Kingdom or Magic Department, all of you listen well.”

Duanmu Huai used force with his right hand, and the red-haired young man screamed, as he coldly looked around.

“The Tribunal’s only goal is to protect humans at all costs, and to eliminate everything that tries to destroy humans. I chose to ally with you because I thought it would be faster to achieve our goal this way. But if you are foolish enough to challenge the authority of the Tribunal, I wouldn’t mind killing you all and taking on those despicable heretical bastards alone.”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth, exhaling white mist like a ferocious beast, and continued staring at the nobles in front of him without any expression.

“So, my patience is limited, understand?”

An unparalleled terrifying pressure erupted from Duanmu Huai’s body, and at that moment, all the nobles present changed their expressions. Their pride, their dignity, their status–everything they possessed was fragile like glass under this almost destructive pressure, leaving everyone sweating profusely and unable to speak.

“Quick, let me go fast!”

At this moment, the red-haired young man caught in Duanmu Huai’s hand was desperately struggling to break free from his bondage, the closest victim to Duanmu Huai already instinctively feeling an extreme fear, twisting his body frantically like a mouse caught by a cat.

“You, you can’t kill me, my father is the head of the Magic Department! If you kill me, you will be enemies with the Charltos Clan! My father is an Earl… the Magic Department is our people… you understand! Let me go, let me go!”

The red-haired young man roared desperately, while Duanmu Huai simply looked at him.

“So what?”

“You… you…”

Sensing the thick intent to kill in Duanmu Huai’s words, he looked at Duanmu Huai in horror, his previously decent expression now utterly distorted.
