Following that, he spoke to the elite soldiers behind him.
“All right, Miss Wood and her partner have already gone to guard the East Gate, let’s head to the Westman.”
The subordinates exchanged glances, actually somewhat puzzled.
“Why? Didn’t we get the message that the Demon Race is attacking the East Gate? Why aren’t we going to assist and instead going to guard the Westman?”
Initially, they didn’t want to suspect that Logan was planning to desert, but the reality in front of them made it difficult for them not to have doubts.
Logan was aware of their concerns and simply offered a brief explanation.
“The East Gate is important, but so is the Westman. For the time being, we don’t know whether this message is true or false. What if it’s a smoke bomb released by the enemy, what if their apparent attack on the East Gate is actually a feint aimed at Westman? If we concentrate all our fire power in one position, wouldn’t that be a loss for us? Therefore, we must also take responsibility for this possibility.”
If he had simply forced an order on them, the soldiers would likely have been displeased.
But after being provided with a reason, the soldiers were able to accept it.
They exchanged looks once again and finally chose to accept it.
“Captain, we understand now. It was short-sighted of us to say things we shouldn’t have. We hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“It’s nothing. Having doubts is natural. I just hope that after you know the truth, you can still maintain your original intention.”
Upon hearing Logan’s words, they were all quite moved.
They had been suspicious of their captain because of an inexplicable desire to compete.
Now, hearing the calm exhortation from the captain, everyone benefited a great deal.
Afterward, looking at each other, they all showed remorse and unanimously apologized to the captain.
“Understood.”
Seeing these lads finally settle down, Logan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid they would continue to ask questions, and it wouldn’t be good if it exposed Lexi Carr.
Moreover, he had to reveal a bit, otherwise they might think there was no danger at Westman.
Little did they know, whether it be Westman or East Gate, one of them would be the most dangerous.
At that moment, Logan looked up and gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with nothing but determination and depth.
Soon, they arrived at Westman.
Logan had already issued orders, and everyone went about their duties.
But for the moment there were no incidents, and they waited.
Logan dared not relax, his nerves had been taut all along.
They stood guard at Westman, each with a serious expression, from sunrise until nightfall. During the whole process, Logan’s mind was tormented and complicated, a whirlwind of thoughts.
Come nighttime, there was still no activity at Westman.
But then a scout from the East Gate came running over and reported a piece of news to them.
“Report, Captain Wood, there’s news from the East Gate that the Demon Race is attacking.”
Upon hearing this message, the other teammates grew restless and gathered around.
“What? How is the situation at the East Gate?”
“So there really is the Demon Race, it seems the scout’s information wasn’t fake.”
“The Demon Race has really come, we’re finally going to face off with the Demon Race!”
After expressing their feelings, the topic shifted once again.
“Captain, now that the East Gate is under attack and the situation must be critical, our strength isn’t weak, should we go support the East Gate?”
“Yes, Captain, there haven’t been any Demon Race appearing at Westman, it’s unlikely anyone will attack here. We could just leave a few to guard this place, and the rest of us could go support the East Gate instead!”
Everyone was urging Logan, showing some urgency.
As soldiers, they naturally wanted to go into battle and fight the enemy.
Yet there were no Demon Race at their location, while the other side was under attack, so they were naturally impatient and wanted to help.
But after Logan heard this, he merely waved his hand at them.
“Don’t rush, let me find out more details first. Westman can’t go unguarded.”
“I ask you, roughly how many demons are there, and what kind of strength do they possess?”
The one reporting was specialized in delivering battle reports; in this field, he was an expert and a professional, so he laid out everything to Logan.
After Logan had listened, his expression darkened a bit, becoming somewhat gloomy.
Afterwards, he quickly assessed the demon forces.
“Everyone, let’s not act rashly for the moment, according to this situation, those are just part of the force, meaning they are not the main force, and even their cultivation levels haven’t reached the main squad’s. We cannot simply break away from Westman. I have reason to suspect this is a plan by the Demon Race, and what we need to do is continue holding Westman.”
If it were an average person, they would have panicked upon hearing the war report.
But Logan was not someone to be swayed by hearsay, and especially in a situation without a final conclusion, he couldn’t afford to relax.
He needed to know, what would be the ultimate outcome of this matter?
Now was just the beginning.
The situation at East Gate, in his opinion, did not seem like a genuine attack by the demons, rather a probe, or perhaps bait.
While the attack was at East Gate, their actual objective likely lay elsewhere.
If they truly wanted to muddle the waters, Westman was essential to hold.
After pondering for a while, Logan’s conviction strengthened.
“None of my people are allowed to leave, we must stand our ground at Westman no matter what happens; you cannot simply leave here on a whim!”
He rarely spoke such stern words, nor did he often use the tone of a Death Command.
The crowd exchanged glances, puzzled yet seeming to understand something.
Even the one who had come to bring the news did not misunderstand Logan’s actions.
But Logan was not someone devoid of human favor; he also set a deadline.
“Rest assured everyone, if we cannot hold our ground, we will naturally go to support East Gate. For now, East Gate can still hold out for a while, and we cannot fall for their ruse at this time. I hope everyone can be patient and maintain our position.”
With Logan leading the way, as well as being the Dominator,
the outcome goes without saying.

Everyone was willing to follow Logan and their Captain Wood.
“Okay, Captain, we’ll follow your lead, and we trust your judgment.”
“Yes, your judgment must be correct; we won’t go to support East Gate, we’ll stay at Westman, and no matter the outcome, we will bear it with you.”
Seeing such a group of good brothers, a smile of relief curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Reports from East Gate kept coming.
It seemed that since the first report, each one had become more severe.
They were challenging their defense line at every turn, telling them that the demons aimed to attack East Gate, their objective being East Gate.
But as time ticked away, even under such circumstances, Logan still stood his ground, not once stepping out of Westman.
Even his Elite Soldiers were getting restless, yet he remained as steady as a rock.
Finally, one person appeared at Westman.
Even though it was only one individual, his oppressive presence was equivalent to that of all others combined.
“Oh? I thought this place was already deserted, didn’t expect anyone to still be guarding it, kiddo, we meet again, what a fate indeed!”
Indeed, this person who had appeared out of nowhere was none other than Maximus Powers.
“Time and again we meet, it seems we do have some destiny. I used a feint to the east while attacking the west strategy, thinking that all forces would be concentrated at East Gate. Did not expect there were still people holding Westman, and it’s you, kid. Truly, it’s a small world full of enemies!”
Maximus Powers halted midair, conjuring a chair for himself. While reclining with one leg crossed over the other atop it, he looked down at Logan from above.
Although his face bore a smile, the amusement didn’t reach his eyes.
That smile was extremely cold, as if he was looking at someone already dead.
“State your name, you’re the first to pique my interest.”
“Logan.”
“I’ve already told you my name, isn’t it your turn to tell me yours?”
“Haha, interesting, I am Maximus Powers!”
