Salute To The General

Right then, two soldiers from the West Army blocked Max's escape. He grabbed their necks and banged their heads together.

At once, both soldiers died on the spot as their skulls shattered into pieces.

The West Army was out for blood.

They charged ahead fearlessly, even stepping over their comrades' bodies to stop Max and Isaiah so Lucas could flee the scene.

“General Ziegler, leave! We need to leave now!" Thomas yelled as he sobbed relentlessly.

Using all his strength, he dragged Lucas out of the battlefield.

All the comrades died for me...

Lucas was in a daze as his subordinates fought courageously to let him escape. He allowed Thomas to drag him away. Two hundred meters away, he got himself a mountain bike and escaped with the wounded Thomas behind him.

After driving ahead for a few hundred meters, Lucas couldn't help but look back. He saw his trusted subordinates fighting valiantly before collapsing before Max and Isaiah. Tears welled up in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks.

Late at night.

Back in Channing, the South of Eurasia.

Nathan suddenly jolted awake from a deep sleep.

He was sweating profusely after waking up from a nightmare. In his dream, Eurasia was fighting Ariarica. Blood and bodies were everywhere. Penny, clad in her nightdress, also woke up.

She asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

After slipping off the bed, she poured a glass of water for Nathan.

Nathan took a sip of water, his brows scrunched up. "I've been feeling distracted these few days as if something bad is going to happen," he said softly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Penny comforted him, "You're too stressed out after becoming the Chief Military Governor. Nothing will happen with you here."

Nathan shook his head. "It might seem calm now, but in fact, danger is

everywhere."

Suddenly, the thought of how the West Army tried to take action rashly made his expression change drastically.

Lucas promised not to start a war. He will keep his word, right?

Nathan was lost in his thoughts when his mother-in-law, Leah, called outside, "Nathan! Your subordinate, Colin, just knocked on the door. He said it's urgent."

Nathan and Penny shared a look. Oh no!

At once, Nathan put on his clothes and strode out briskly.

In the living room, Colin was pacing around anxiously.

At the sight of Nathan, he dashed over and declared, "Mr. Cross, we're in trouble."

Nathan told him, "Let's talk in my study."

In his study, Nathan said, "Fire away.

What's the matter?"

Colin reported, "The West Army sent news. It's the latest update, so the Brimmopolis' military has no idea about it yet."

He then proceeded to reveal how Lucas led the West Army's elites to prate the enemy's territory to kill Isaiah.

In the end, Colin concluded, "This operation caused severe losses for the West Army. The Ten Tigers of the West Fearless Eighteen, two hundred King of Warriors, and

died. Only Thomas and Lucas managed toescape. Thomas lost one arm in the battle."

Hearing that, Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. However, his expression remained grim.

The Ten Tigers of the West, Fearless Eighteen, over two hundred King of Warriors, and most of the National Guards of the West's commander-in- chief had perished in the battle.

That was a disastrous sacrifice!

Fortunately, Lucas managed to survive. If he were to die, the entire world would descend into chaos.

Nathan was usually cool and

collected, but he erupted into fury after learning of the update. "Order. the military to hold an urgent meeting now. Tell Lucas to come to me! The President's intervention won't work, for I shall punish him severely! He has to make it up to his dead comrades."

Colin hung his head low and responded, "Yes!"

The Chief Military Governor is furious. I'm afraid Lucas will get dismissed as the

commander-in-chief of the West Army.
