Salute To The General



With that, Isaiah's body was handed over to the troops from Volk.

When Malcolm learned about Isaiah's death and the reason the latter was killed, he remained silent and didn't show any emotion.

Given that Isaiah had constantly been at loggerheads with Malcolm due to their different ideologies, Malcolm didn't care much for it. In fact, he felt that the development was beneficial to him.

After all, his goal was to coexist in peace with Eurasia and not be mired in conflict. Moreover, it was Isaiah's own choice to get himself killed.

Whatever it was, only Malcolm knew how he truly felt about it.

As for Max and the others, it was undoubtedly a massive disappointment.

He was cognizant that Isaiah's death would allow Malcolm to rule Volk unopposed. That ballless Malcolm would definitely not have the courage to join the alliance and go against Eurasia.

Filled with disappointment and unable to hide his anger, Max told Malcolm that Volk was on its own before leaving with his entourage in a huff.

As for the representatives of the other nations, they too began to leave with their respective groups.

Evidently, the summit that was supposed to have recruited Volk had failed miserably after their plan was foiled by Eurasia's Chief Military Governor. As a result, they became the butt of everyone's jokes.

Meanwhile, Nathan was greeted with a grand welcome by the West Army upon his return.

He had allowed Lucas to retain his position as commander-in-chief of the West Army. Nevertheless, the latter's authority had been reduced when it came to making monumental decisions.

Under such circumstances, Lucas had to hold a meeting with the other nine commanders. Only when a consensus was reached could a decision be made.

Lucas no longer had absolute authority over the West Army.

In addition, any major operations by them would require the approval of the Chief Military Governor at headquarters.

Those were the adjustments made to prevent Lucas from committing the same mistake again.

In the past, Lucas would definitely be dissatisfied. But this time, he accepted the changes wholeheartedly.

After all, if Nathan hadn't given him a

el:

second chance, he would already have been dead, let alone hold the post of commander-in-chief of the West Army. Hence, he was so grateful to Nathan that he devoted the rest of his life to paying off his debt of gratitude.

Having made the arrangement for the West Army, Nathan instructed Fang and his men to return to the North, while the Felidae Battalion was ordered to march back to Brimmopolis.

In the meantime, he, alongside Colin and the Elite Eight, kept a low profile and took a flight back to Channing. Meanwhile, at Riverside Garden back in Channing, Penny was holding a newspaper with a worried expression.

She knew about what happened

recently with Lucas. She was also aware that Nathan had rushed off to the West to resolve the conflict. between the West Army and Volk. And more importantly, to clean up the mess Lucas had made.

It was just that she didn't hear from Nathan after he had left.

She did try to give him a call, but the person who answered it was a staff at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

Ever since they knew she was the Chief Military Governor's wife, they treated her with utmost respect.

Hence, they informed her that Nathan was on an important mission and didn't take his phone along with him. They also asked for her understanding and told her to wait patiently.

The moment she heard that it was an important mission, Penny couldn't help but worry.

For the last two days, she had been

monitoring the news about the West Army and Volk. Moreover, she instructed her family to buy all the different newspapers that were available.

That particular day, she saw a short headline in the news.

It read: The West Army's conflict with Tolk has grown increasingly tense. The military is fighting a cyberwar with them currently.

The short headline had no content at all, further confusing anyone who read it.

Nevertheless, Penny was acutely aware that the shorter the headline, the bigger the issue was.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Who knows, Eurasia might already be in a cyber war with Volk. It's just that I have no idea what Nathan's situation is.
