His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0598 Local time, 8:30 PM.

Deep beneath the barren desert, the Bertley" military base loomed like an iron fortress.

Umbracia's four-star General Hesberg, clad in his sharp uniform, stared at the battle screen with a grim look. The latest report showed a devastating defeat: the Giant Whale's Fury I tactic had failed, both Lords of War outmaneuvered, and the entire carrier fleet rendered useless. Alexander, an unstoppable I force, was still carving his path into Umbracia.

"Alexander... he's a force to be reckoned with." I Behind Hesberg, a shadowy figure draped in a dark cloak observed the battle screen with a detached look, his voice raspy and low: " Blackfire, Alexander is storming Bertley military base, and it looks like your cover's blown." "What's your move now?" Move?

The brass at the Hexagonal Tower had laid down the law, demanding he turn himself in, ready to haul him before a military tribunal.

Meanwhile, Alexander was barreling towards the base, gunning for his head.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, his only option was to go down swinging! " Alarandro!" Hesberg's eyes squinted fiercely as he whipped around to address a young officer beside him, his voice icy. "Issue my orders— lockdown the base, fire up every smart weapon we've got, and stand by for action...” Boom! A sudden, thunderous blast cut off Hesberg's command mid-sentence! "This is bad!" Hesberg's complexion went ghostly as he bellowed instinctively. "It's got to be Alexander!

It was Alexander, alright! Buried over two hundred meters below ground, nearly three kilometers from the command center, Alexander had just pulverized a two-meter-thick steel-reinforced concrete wall with one punch! " Alarandro!" In the command center, Hesberg was a mix of shock and fury, barking orders: "Tap into the base's surveillance, getthose screens, now! "Boot up the smart defense system, spare no expense, take down Alexander!" The smart defense system was a force to be reckoned with, but it was no match for a Lord of War! To top it off...

"Admiral, we can't get the smart defense system online!" Major General Alarandro's gaze was fixed on

the darkened command screen, his voice betraying a tremor he could not suppress.” We're under an electronic assault from the Temple of War... It's got to be the work of Juno, Duke of War!" "Our systems can't pinpoint Alexander's exact location, but we're certain he's breached the base and is making his way to the command center!" What the...? Hesberg felt a wave of darkness engulf him, nearly sending him to the ground.

With the base's electronics down and Alexander on the move, who could guarantee their safety if he reached them? "We're not out of options yet." A shadowy figure in a black cloak behind Hesberg paused before letting out a raspy chuckle. "Alexander may be smart, but he would never guess I'm here.

"Just one moment of his distraction, and I'll strike like lightning. Catching him off guard, I

can end him with a single blow." Black Maple master said.

Catching him off guard...

A jolt ran through Hesberg, his face lighting up’ with a surge of excitement as he turned to the Black Maple master, a newfound confidence emanating from him.

"Master, I have complete faith in your tactics! "With you here, Alexander doesn't stand a I chance!" I Unbeknownst to Alexander, the Black Maple master was right there at the Bertley military I base.

Even if he did know, he would not be scared in the slightest! In under five minutes, Alexander made a beeline for his target, smashing through three defense walls, obliterating every checkpoint in his path, and breezed through the three- kilometer defense perimeter to arrive at the

underground command center building with ease.

The sound of chaos erupted! Before the building stood hundreds of anti- material sniper rifles, a web of infrared aiming beams, and a multitude of fully automatic sniper rifles firing in rapid succession...

The building's arsenal was fully unleashed, layers upon layers of defense, encircling Alexander from every angle! "Is this the best Hesberg can muster?" Standing alone against the barrage of the command center's firepower, Alexander's face remained stoic as he spoke with an icy voice, " Listen up, I'll say this just once. I'm here to take down the main villain. Everyone else, clear out! "Stick around for more than ten seconds, and you're signing up as Hesberg's accomplice, and I'll take you down without hesitation!” A flurry of panicked whispers followed.

The snipers hidden in the shadows, though

under Hesberg's orders, had already been tipped off by the Hexagonal Tower: Hesberg was a traitor, stripped of all authority.

To serve or not to serve Hesberg? They were well aware that the Wyverna youth before them was no mere mortal but the fabled Lord of War, the undefeated and mightiest Lord of War of their time! "Fall back!" Inside the building, it was not clear who yelled it first, but shadows began to peel away from their hiding spots, bolting out the front door in rapid succession.

Ten, thirty, a hundred...

Over three hundred armed and shaking soldiers filed past Alexander, then picked up the pace, piling into armed SUVs and armored vehicles, beating a hasty retreat without a backward glance.

Then, quiet.

The command center of the sprawling military base was eerily quiet, except for the silhouette

Then, quiet.

The command center of the sprawling military base was eerily quiet, except for the silhouette

of a middle-aged man standing rigidly in front of a towering window on the top floor.

That man was Alexander's target, the architect of the Maxine tragedy, the highest-ranking officer of Bertley base, Hesberg.

"Temple Lord Kane, I'm aware you're after my life.

From his elevated position, Hesberg's face bore no trace of fear, but rather a smirk. "Is it I because I gave the order to fire the missile that took down Maxine's fighter jet, and with it, your wife? "No, no, no, you've got it all wrong! ‘I've got reports that you sent the Lord of War I carrier group to scour the sea for over ten I hours, yet they haven't recovered any bodies.

Do you grasp the significance of that?" Hmm?! Outside the command center, Alexander's eyes suddenly narrowed, his gaze piercing as he locked onto Hesberg's, "Go on!"

With a sly chuckle, Hesberg, hands clasped behind him, let a crafty glint flicker in his eyes before he bellowed, "Because Amber isn't dead. She's alive!” What?! Alexander's eyes widened in shock, his mouth opening to demand more details.

However, in that split second...

"Die!" A gruff, aged shout echoed, and a shadowy figure blurred through the lobby below, striking with deadly precision at the very moment Hesberg revealed, "She's alive." In that smoment, Alexander felt a jolt through his soul.

The fatal ambush was executed in a flash.
