The Strongest War God - Chapter 209
209 The Survivors of the Ludwig Army
Old Man Zito acted as if he had not heard the question and focused on the chessboard.
His chess skills were far inferior to Yuzo Quon’s, yet he still wanted to play against Braydon Neal? He was simply asking for trouble.
The white chess pieces on the chessboard were like tigers, and they had the power to swallow mountains and rivers. The tiger occupied half of the chessboard, and it could eat up half of Old Man Zito’s black chess pieces if they went forward. The retreating chess pieces were impregnable, and there were no loopholes at all.
Yuzo was completely engrossed in the sight as he said in shock, “No wonder the northern army has never lost a single battle in the northern territory since its establishment. You can see why from the chessboard.”
!!
Playing chess was like life, and it was more like the movement of the troops and setting up an array to fight.
Braydon’s chess style was overbearing. He had the power of the Northern King in his chess-playing. His power suppressed both the black and white sides of the chessboard, oppressing Old Man Zito until he could not fight back.
Today, Braydon’s chess game was secondary. His main purpose was to interrogate Old Man Zito.
Yuzo was a crafty old fox, a king, and a ruthless one at that. It was not easy for him to break through.
Even though Old Man Zito was slippery, he was easier to deal with than Yuzo.
However, Old Man Zito looked desperate. “We’re just old men. There’s really nothing special about us. You’re young and in a high position. You’re the leader of the northern territory. You’re the leader of the powerful black-clothed army. You sweep the world with your power. Can you let me go?”
“So, you two belonged to the same faction forty years ago!” Braydon’s eyes shone brightly.
Old Man Zito hung his head low while Yuzo lowered his head to count the ants.
The two old men respected and feared Braydon!
They respected the golden Qilin on Braydon’s body, but they were afraid of this youth’s intelligence.
Every time they talked, it was as if the other party could see through their thoughts.
This kind of person was too terrifying!
Braydon moved his fingers slightly and placed the last white piece. The entire chessboard was in a dead end, and the black piece was completely defeated.
“I don’t care about your strength,” he said calmly. “What I care about is the story behind you two!”
“I want to confirm if there are still any survivors of the Ludwig army back then!”
Braydon stood up calmly and walked back to the living room.
“Ludwig army?” Tristan Yandell’s pupils constricted. “They…”
However, when Old Man Zito heard the words ‘survivors of the Ludwig army’, the black chess piece between his fingers was crushed into pieces.
His murky eyes revealed anger!
The Ludwig army only had veterans, no survivors!
Yuzo turned around and spoke in a hoarse voice, “You are wearing a golden Qilin as your robe! How could you humiliate the Ludwig army!?”
“We’re not survivors!”
Old Man Zito’s eyes turned red.
“Uncle Zito, what’s wrong with you?” Logan Hall was shocked by how Old Man Zito was acting.
Braydon stood with his hands behind his back. He stopped at the door of the living room and said softly with his back to the two of them, “Looks like there’s no need for Luther to secretly investigate your identities!”
There was no need to investigate Yuzo Quon and Old Man Zito’s identities.
Just based on their current appearance, it was not difficult to tell that they must have belonged to the Ludwig army forty years ago!
Unfortunately, the Ludwig army had already vanished.
Tristan’s expression was very ugly. He really did not expect that these two old things had such a great background. They were actually survivors of the Ludwig army.
The matter of the Ludwig army was extremely complicated. All the elites had been killed forty years ago!
“If that’s the case, please leave the Neal family,” Tristan said in a low voice.
“Scared now?” Old Man Zito’s previous unruly attitude was swept away, and a cold smile hung on his lips.
If it was in the past, Tristan would probably be angry.
“I don’t need to say anything more,” he said softly. “The two of you should know that if people find out that the commander has come into contact with the survivors of the Ludwig army, he will be in great trouble!”
When Yuzo and Old Man Zito heard this, a self-mocking smile appeared on their lips.
Was their status that unbearable?
Did they just cause everyone to hate them?
Was the Ludwig army really a disgrace?
When the matter from forty years ago was brought up, Old Man Zito and Yuzo’s eyes turned bloodshot, as though there were flames burning within them.
This was anger!
Even though forty years had passed, the people of Ludwig were still not over it!
Those who belonged to Ludwig were not rebels!
“Little Monkey, bring Logan down!” Braydon calmly said.
“Big Brother!” Tristan was shocked and wanted to say something.
“Go down!” Braydon’s gaze turned cold.
“Yes, Sir!” Tristan turned around and left with Logan.
At the entrance of the villa.
Tristan sighed and asked, “Do you have any cigarettes on you?”
“Yes, Big Brother Tristan. What did you mean by ‘survivors of the Ludwig army’?” Logan stepped forward to help light the cigarette.
Tristan took a deep breath and exhaled smoke. His eyes were filled with memories.
He was silent for ten minutes.
“The great Yanagi army was the predecessor of the northern army,” he said softly. “Do you know who the predecessor of the Yanagi army was?”
“This…”
Logan had guessed it, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Could it be the Ludwig army?
“It’s indeed the Ludwig army!” Tristan said in a low voice.
“Oh my God!” Logan was stunned.
The northern army’s predecessor was actually the Ludwig army!
Outsiders did not know about this secret at all.
“The Northern King is the commander of the northern army,” Tristan said softly.
“The great Yanagi army’s commander was my teacher, Finley Yanagi!”
“The commander of the Ludwig army was Xandros Hader!”
…
This was the secret file of the northern army, and only a handful of people could access it.
Back then, Tristan had secretly seen some of it.
Logan lit a cigarette for Tristan and probed, “But why is there no record of the Ludwig army in the five main teams?”
“Because they are rebels. All traces of their past have been wiped clean!”
Tristan fell silent after saying that.
Logan was completely dumbstruck.
The predecessor of the northern army was actually a rebel army.
How was this possible?
The ten legions of the north guarded the bitter and cold land of the north. There was no grass for thousands of miles and no one for hundreds of miles. They defended the ten national gates with their lives and resisted the attacks of the eight foreign countries.
This loyalty was well known to everyone.
The northern army’s predecessor, Ludwig, was actually a traitor.
How was this possible?
In the living room of the villa, there were only three people left.
Braydon Neal, Old Man Zito, and Ernest Lanford!
“Sit down. No one can touch you in my house!” Braydon’s words were steady and powerful.
“In your eyes, do you also regard us as the survivors of Ludwig and the rebels?” Old Man Zito was very stubborn.
“The Ludwig army has never betrayed us!” Braydon’s eyes turned cold.
Old Man Zito’s eyes turned red.
Ernest no longer referred to himself as Yuzo Quon as his lips quivered, “Back then, we had a total of 700,000 comrades from Ludwig. They were all killed in one night. We hate them!”
His eyes were bloodshot. Even if he died, he would not be able to rest in peace.
The Ludwig incident was riddled with many mysteries back then, and even now, they had not been able to explain it clearly.
Braydon said softly, “Let’s sit down and talk. Back in Small Zito village, I suspected that Old Man Zito was either a hidden agent of the old generation of the north or a survivor of the Ludwig generation.”
That was why Braydon wanted to find out!
No matter what kind of person they were, they were all people that Braydon had to protect.
He had never stopped searching for the people of Ludwig from forty years ago.
Coincidentally, at this moment.
“Big Brother, Hatcher is here!” Tristan hurried over.
“Commander, I found it!”
Outside the door, Captain Hatcher Murphy had no idea what was going on and hurriedly barged in. When he saw Ernest Lanford and Old Man Zito in the room, his eyes turned cold.
