Salute To The General

Chapter 2672



Will's expression became complicated when he saw Nathan.

Likewise, Nathan had the same expression when he saw Will. Before he came, he had already thought of a thousand things to say to Will. However, in the end, he could only say, "How are you, Will?”

Will flashed a smile. "Well, I feel like I've just placed a huge bet and lost, and I haven't been able to catch my breath yet."

Right then, Colin brought a chair over for Nathan, even wiping the seat.

Nathan sat down casually and lit a cigarette. Puffing out a cloud of smoke slowly, he carried on with the conversation like he was chatting with a friend. "You shouldn't have placed that bet!"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Will smiled weakly and uttered, “I had no choice. Since Erwin and I are such good friends, we ought to rise and fall together. He even promised me he would make me the Chief Military Governor after he became the President. Since I've been the commander-in-chief of Brimmopolis' Capital Garrison for over ten years, I thought a promotion would be nice."

In response, Nathan answered flatly, "Is it really so nice to be the Chief Military Governor? Why don't I think so? Is your post that bad? Do you not feel powerful enough to have over two hundred thousand troops at your disposal? You shouldn't have selfishly led the troops onto the streets, and you shouldn't have sent your men to attack the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor and the White House. Your actions aren't lawful at all. Hence, I've come to kill you."

Once Nathan's words poured out of his mouth, Will's subordinates were startled.

At the same time, the look on Will's face turned even more sorrowful.

However, he seemed like he had accepted his fate as he smiled and said, "I chose this path, so I know what's coming my way."

Nathan then stated calmly, "Compared to being captured and sent to the military tribunal for a trial, I think I'm doing you a favor by killing you now. Since you're bound to be executed once captured, I'm saving you from the shame of getting treated like a criminal. This is what I'm willing to do for the friend you once were."

Will nodded in response. From the moment he ordered his men to attack the White House, he knew he was going to die if things didn't go his way. As Nathan's subordinate and his friend, he had betrayed Nathan.

Nathan was merciful enough to give him a chance to die in such a low-key manner.

Will then turned around to look at his loyal subordinates. In a deep tone, he said, "Don't be by my side anymore. Lay down your weapons and get lost. Surrender yourselves so that you can ask for lighter punishments."

Although loyalty was scarce, Will was definitely blessed to have men with such characteristics around him.

As it were, Will usually treated his subordinates quite well. Although nearly all two hundred thousand of his troops had fled after his defeat, the dozen men he had left were unwilling to abandon him.

Besides that, these men had already heard about how Nathan was going to kill Will.

Yet, after exchanging glances, they

same decision to not let Will die alone. They were willing to accompany him to the afterlife. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Flavio Wagenman, Will's trusted aide, suddenly uttered, "General, we're with you till the end. Since you're not getting out of this, we'll take the lead and open up a pathway for you in the afterworld." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

With that, he suddenly whipped out his gun and pointed it at Nathan.

The soldiers beside him had done the same.

However, Colin and the rest reacted even faster.

Right when Flavio and his comrades were whipping out their guns, Colin and his men reacted almost immediately and pulled their triggers. Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few gunshots sounded.

Bullets slammed into Will's subordinates, and they all collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood.

The air became still again after a few seconds.

Nathan was frowning while Colin and the rest already had their guns pointed at Will.

Tears threatened to spill from Will's eyes. He didn't expect his subordinates to be so loyal to him that they were willing to die with him.

All of a sudden, he was overwhelmed with regret. If I hadn't taken part in Erwin's plan, my loyal subordinates wouldn't have died.

Flavio had been shot more than ten times, and he was lying in a pool of his blood next to Will's feet.

Although he was on the verge of death, he stared at Will and blurted, "G-General, we shall go first..."

In response, Will said softly, "All
