Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up



Chapter 855 Return

Lionheart City was bustling with activity on the Defender General's return day. Almost everyone in the city had left their homes and stood on the streets to welcome the arrival of the general.

The Defender General would return to report his battle achievements on the frontlines every year. At the same time, he would lead his troops to rest for a period of time.

Therefore, this day was also known as the Triumph Day.

While the entire city was covered with excitement, Lu Yu and the others got prepared.

Lu Yu and Han Xuefei arrived at Stone's villa.

At that moment, Stone had already prepared a black SUV.

"Lu Yu, we'll set off in this car."

Stone pointed at the SUV.

Hill, beside his father, was checking the car for any problems.

"What should we do?"

"The Defender General is called Sean. He is mighty, and according to his rank, his strength is at least at the Starlight rank."

"He will bring his army's higher-ups back with him, so there are quite a number of people. This is the reason he isn't teleporting directly into the capital."

He looked up to the south and added, "There's an outpost city south of the city. There's a vast martial arts arena there, and it can also be used to open a teleportation portal."

"When General Sean returns, he will first teleport to the outpost city, then return to the capital with his army to meet the royal family."

He looked at Lu Yu firmly and said, "Let's go there in advance. There are already people there. We can enter the outpost city and witness General Sean teleport back with our eyes."

Lu Yu nodded. "Let's go then."

"Great. Hill, how's the car inspection going?"

"Not a problem to be found, Dad. We're ready to head out."

"Alright, get in the car!"

Stone and Hill entered the car from the front, while Lu Yu and Han Xuefei sat in the back.

"Just the four of us?"

"Of course not. We still have more of our people in the outpost city. We will arrange for a meeting to voice our thoughts."

"What if Sean turns hostile and wants to kill us?" Han Xuefei asked.

"No, if he dares do this, he will fall out with the Protector General. He won't be so impulsive."

Stone said with a smile before driving away from the villa.

Soon, they left Lionheart City.

Lionheart City was vast. Even after driving for a long distance, they could still see the tall city walls when they looked back.

Lionheart City was smaller than the Central City of Stellaris, but just by a small margin.

After driving out, their surroundings were nothing but wasteland, a few jungles, and some rivers.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a plain of barren land.

Lu Yu could clearly see a city in the distance ahead. It was much smaller than Lionheart City, and they would arrive there by following the straight road.

That was the outpost city, used to warn Lionheart City of any invasion in advance. Most cities in the world have a similar structure.

"We're almost there. Act more naturally. We're here by invitation." Stone reminded them.

"I don't think they'll notice anything," Han Xuefei replied.

"Of course. Most of the people here are our own."

Soon, the car arrived at the city gates. When they passed, a guard walked up and lowered his body to see Stone through the car windows.

"Welcome, please come in."

With that, he opened the city gates.

Lu Yu was surprised by the lack of procedures. After seeing Stone's face, the guard immediately opened the city gate.

"It looks like the Protector General is quite capable." Lu Yu spoke up.

"Of course," Stone said proudly. "No one in the Lionheart Empire is stronger than him except General Sean."

Soon, their car entered the outpost city.

The scale of the outpost city was not small, with two-thirds of the area occupied by a martial arts field. The martial arts field was empty, like a town square.

There were many mysterious patterns carved on the martial arts field, and these were the teleportation arrays.

This martial arts field was technically a teleportation hub.

However, this was a special teleportation hub. Only the soldiers on the battlefield could be teleported here.

Ordinary citizens wouldn't get to use this kind of teleportation array.

After driving in, Stone found the parking lot and parked his car before walking to the field.

There was a podium at the front of the martial arts training field. Standing on it, one could overlook the entire area.

At that moment, many people were already standing on the podium. They each had a solemn expression as they waited for the teleportation portal to open.

Many gathered around the martial arts field, awaiting General Sean's return.

Stone brought Lu Yu and the others to a relatively good spot and waited with the crowd.

Stone looked down at his watch and said, "He'll arrive around noon."

Lu Yu looked around and saw that most of the people waiting were soldiers, with just a few dressed as civilians. They were most likely family members of the returning soldiers.

At that moment, a ray of light appeared in the air and slowly spread out in the middle of the martial arts field.

As the light spread out, a teleportation portal opened.

Everyone's expressions turned serious, and they maintained their upright posture as they looked at the portal before them.

Boom!

A huge body jumped out of the portal.

He jumped down and attracted everyone's attention.

It was a red-gold tiger that jumped over from the portal. The tiger's body was huge, not much different from a truck.

On the back of the tiger was a saddle, with General Sean sitting in it.

At first glance, one could only see that General Sean was incredibly muscular and almost two meters tall.

The muscles on his body were almost bursting with energy, and it was those strong muscles that supported his thick armor.

He wore thick white armor, with the two shoulder plates alone being wider than his head.

The armor on his body made him look as rugged as a bear.

He had a square-ish face filled with determination. His platinum-colored pupils gave off a sense of oppression.

"Welcome back, Defender General!!"

"Welcome back!"

Everyone bowed and greeted him respectfully.

Sean rode on his red-gold tiger and trotted forward for some distance. More soldiers exited the portal one after another, and they were all General Sean's capable subordinates.

"The continuous battles have made me a little tired. Let's rest here first."

Sean spoke as he jumped off the tiger.

He walked towards the podium, his cape swaying in the wind.

Standing on the podium, he took off his heavy armor one by one and stored it in his storage ring.

"Welcome back. The city has already prepared a celebration ceremony. You can return to the city at any time."

"Alright, I'll go to a meeting and chat with the royal family."
