Salute To The General

Chapter 2663



Soon, Garrett was well-dressed and seated on a chair under a big tree in the middle of the courtyard.

There were quite a few National Guards standing alongside him. Further away were several armed royal guards. Nathan approached him and smiled bitterly. "President Woods, why are you putting yourself on the line wittingly?"

By then, Garrett was so feeble that he could not even straighten his body. He put on a self-deprecating smile as he uttered breathlessly, "I've been dealing with desk jobs all this while. In actuality, I'm envious of you and all the other military commanders battling against the enemies on the battlefield. Now that I'm on the brink of death, I have nothing to fear. Since I have the opportunity to witness how you'll wipe out Erwin Holmes and Will Long's rebel troops today, I'll at least get to know how it feels fighting against the enemies on the battlefield. In other words, I'll be able to fulfill my dream."

He paused and mustered up his strength to sit straight. "Chief Cross, what do you think? Do I look nonchalant at the moment?"

Nathan gazed at him and responded earnestly, "President Woods, you look incredibly nonchalant!"

Hearing that, Garrett's originally dull-looking eyes lit up with a glint of life. Surprisingly, there was even a hint of rosiness on his pale cheeks. Over the moon, he stated eagerly, "I'll sit here to witness how you defeat the rebel troops. Go ahead!"

"Got it, President Woods!" Nathan nodded solemnly and turned to walk away.

Colin, the Elite Eight, and the Felidae Battalion followed behind him at once.

There were three thousand royal guards and one thousand bodyguards catering to the President's safety in the White House. Other than that, there was a reinforced combat battalion standing guard discreetly not far from the White House.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

This battalion had been specially set up to protect the President. It was known as the Taurus Battalion and comprised approximately one thousand people. On top of that, it was equipped with the most advanced equipment, and the members were top-notch fighters with ultimate combat skills. Haven Nickson, the commander of the Taurus Battalion, took swift action when he was alerted about Xavion and Titus leading a total of twenty thousand rebels to launch an attack on the White House. He reached the White House within a short time with the Taurus Battalion.

When Nathan stepped into the front yard of the White House, Haven was already waiting for his arrival there. Jaxton Zaiser, the commander of the royal guards, and Holton Wynne, the leader of the bodyguards at the White House, were standing alongside him too.

"Good day, Chief Cross!" Haven and the others saluted Nathan with the utmost respect.

The latter waved at them casually. "Everyone, no need for formality! I believe you've heard about Erwin Holmes and Will Long rebelling against the President. At the moment, the whole city is surrounded by their rebel troops. More of their men are heading toward us now, so we might have to fight alongside each other against our foes very soon!"

Haven and the rest were Garrett's trusted aides. Since they were all nurtured by Garrett before being assigned to their current posts, they were undoubtedly loyal to him.

At that very moment, not the slightest bit of fear was on their faces. "Chief Cross, we vow to fight till the end with you to defend our President!" they enunciated the words concurrently with sheer determination in their eyes.

Pleased, Nathan nodded. "Good!"

He never doubted Haven and the others' utmost faithfulness to the President. Not to mention, all their troops were known for their outstanding combat prowess apart from being well-equipped. In fact, the Taurus Battalion even possessed many anti-missile vehicles.

Besides that, the fortifications on the White House were exceptionally strong. Thus, Nathan was convinced that there would not be any issues for them to withstand a few rounds of attack from the rebel troops.

Not wasting a second more, he huddled over the blueprints of the White House with Haven and the others. They started strategizing the mobilization of their troops and how they could strengthen the overall defensive system.

Shortly after, Haven, Jaxton, Holton, and the others led their troops to carry out their delegated tasks respectively. Without wasting any time, they started the necessary preparations for fending off the rebel troops that would emerge at any time.

Meanwhile, Nathan placed a coffee table and chair in the front yard of the White House. He enjoyed his tea while waiting for the arrival of the rebel troops.

At the same time, Colin, the Elite Eight, and the others were standing beside him.

Colin noticed flickers of anxiousness in Nathan's eyes despite the latter's nonchalant appearance.

He could not refrain from consoling

Nathan, "Sir, even though the

net

number of rebels is overwhelming, don't forget that the White House canwithstand a magnitude seven earthquake. I bet it won't be the slightest bit shaken even if the rebel troops bombard us with missiles. Apart from that, the royal guards, bodyguards of the White House, and the Taurus Battalion are all unrivaled fighters. We should have no problem fending off the rebel troops' attack. Thus, you don't have to be worried. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Nathan shot him a glance and snorted, “Hmph! Don't make wild guesses. I'm not worried about the White House, but the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor."

Realization finally dawned on Colin

at that moment. Ah! No wonder! He did not bat an eyelid even when battling against the Coalition Army consisting of elites from eighteen countries. I thought he was worried about fighting against the rebel troops later. It never occurred to me that he was worried sick about his family in the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor! Content

At the thought, Colin reassured Nathan, "Sir, the Felidae Battalion is defending the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

Furthermore, there is still a team of bodyguards consisting of elites, and almost everyone there is from the military. In short, they are all fighters with invincible combat prowess. Not to mention, the fortifications there are as good as here at the White House. Sir, don't worry. Sage and the others won't have problems hanging on for three hours." Content belongs

Nathan nodded in acknowledgment. Staring into the distance at the sun high up in the sky, he mumbled placidly, "You've got a point. All the threats

will be eliminated if we can hold the line for three hours till the arrival of the troops from the other bases."
