Chapter 1798
Despite being nervous, Fang stood firm. “Sir, as I said earlier, the General is in the midst of solving an urgent matter." "Do you know the consequences you have to face for lying?" Clifford was enraged.
Fang lowered his head. "What I said is true, Sir."
A vortex of anger swirled inside Clifford. "Fine. Tell me what he is doing, and bring me to him immediately!"
Fang gritted his teeth. "But..."
Clifford sneered, "What''s wrong? Don''t you know what he''s doing? Or is it because he''s in
Channing?"
Just when Fang was about to lose control of the situation, a voice emerged from the back, I m here!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fang and the rest turned around and looked at the man in disbelief.
d in a white uniform and gold-braid aiguillettes, the man, nked by Colin and the Elite Eight, arrived with a gold national emblem pinned on his shoulder and a sword in his hand, looking as gant as ever.
Sir, you''re here!
Fang and the others were ted to see him. "Attention! Salute! Wee, General!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers echoed, "Wee, General!"
The North Army was full of vigor the moment they realized the General had arrived. Even Clifford did not get to enjoy such a privilege.
Seeing Nathan smartly dressed in full uniform, Clifford and his men were dumbstruck.
Meanwhile, Clifford, who was known for being unppable in the face of unfavorable circumstances, was taken back by the turn of events.
How did this happen? Nathan was supposed to be in Channing. I even sent assassins to kill him! How did he manage to return to the North? Does this mean Bay is actually another person? No way Impossible. It''s absolutely impossible!
Clifford looked at Nathan with a scowl. "I came to inspect the North Army on behalf of the Cab, yet you showed no respect and camete. How arrogant. Tell me, what have you been busy with?"
Nathan said in an icy voice. "I visited a friend.
Clifford sneered, "Your friend? Is he more important than the Cab..."
Nathan answered solemnly, "My friend, Lieutenant Sutcliffe, was killed by a Xyperian who trespassed on ournd. Not only did the person kill our man, but he also used
Dumdum bullets that were banned.
“Lieutenant Sutcliffe suffered a painful death. I went to check his body and realized his abdomen was severely wounded by the Dumdum bullets.
"Thus, I camete as I was grieving
for the death of a man of high caliber. Nevertheless, I''m willing to ept any form of punishment if you insist."
Clifford was stunned.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
In a croaky voice, he asked, "A Xyperian trespassed on ournd and killed one of our men? He even used the Dumdum bullets?"
"We''ve reported this to the Cab. How are you not aware of this?" Nathan answered with a frown.
Clifford''s face reddened all of a sudden.
In thest couple of days, he had been thinking of ways to get rid of Nathan and ignored everything else.
He came in the name of appreciating the North Army''s contribution yet was unaware of the tragedy that had just happened here. This clearly showed what a hypocrite he was.
At that instant, the troops began to look at Clifford very differently now.
To them, he was no different from those sanctimonious politicians.
Clifford tried to hide his
embarrassment behind his
pretentious grievance. "I didn''t get to
read the reports as I was busy
inspecting the West and the North. I
only found out about this

today.
"We have to take serious actions against this case. I''ll instruct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to write to Xyperia and demand for an exnation." Nathan said calmly, "We need to do more than that. They intruded into ournd and used the Dumdum bullets. We cannot let them off easily." Hearing that, Clifford was stunned for a bit. "What''s your n then?"
A hard glint shed through Nathan''s eyes. "I''ll
go to their base and ughter Saxon myself."
The moment Nathan spoke, all the soldiers were thrilled to hear that he would be avenging Lieutenant Sutcliffe himself.
