Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1423

Zeke said coldly, “Julian, who do you think you are? Who gives you the power to twist and conceal the truth?”

Julian answered, “I’m the Great Marshal, the backbone and protector of the nation. I’ve contributed to Eurasia more than anyone else, and no one can ever surpass me. It’s justifiable that I use my authority for certain benefits.”

Pfft!

Zeke sniggered at him. “And what exactly did you contribute to the nation?”

Julian responded, “The Lundrian Army took over the thirty-six islands of the Southern Archipelago. I defeated the enemy and reclaimed the land on my own. Isn’t my contribution significant enough?”

Zeke laughed in amusement. “As far as I know, you deserted the army on the battlefield. You even wanted to sacrifice the lives of Eurasian soldiers only to buy time to run away. Let me tell you, a mysterious man reclaimed the Southern Archipelago single-handedly, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Julian’s heart was pounding rapidly, even his face twitched.

Damn it! How on earth does Zeke know about this?

Little did Julian know that Zeke was actually that “mysterious man”.

Julian soon regained his composure in dismissal. “Bullsh*t! I don’t understand what you’re talking about. That mysterious man as well as me being a deserter are fabricated.”

Zeke remained calm and turned to gaze at an army sitting in a corner of the auditorium.

These warriors were the survivors of the Southern Archipelago battle who had witnessed everything that happened on those islands.

Zeke asked them, “All of you took part in the Southern Archipelago battle and saw everything with your own eyes. Let me ask you this. Is Julian a deserter or a hero? Remember that your every word and action represents the Eurasian military. You’d better be honest if you don’t want to humiliate the military."

The warriors lowered their heads apologetically, their faces turned red in shame.

We know the truth and the fact that Julian is a hypocrite who has taken someone else’s credit, but we dare not say a word.

Julian has detained our families and kept us by his side, so that he can restrain us from revealing the truth.

If we ever give him away, our family’s lives will be at stake.

What should we do now?

When the army kept silent, a slender and tall man stood up all of a sudden. “I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything.”

“I’m not afraid of getting my head chopped off...”

Before he could finish his sentence, however, Julian had raised his gun and shot the soldier in the head.

Instantly, his brain splattered all over the place while he fell to the floor, lying dead in his own blood.

Immediately, there was a great hue and cry in the auditorium.

Why did Julian kill the Eurasian soldier in public?

Is he feeling guilty?

Perhaps Zeke is telling the truth.

There’s something fishy regarding the Southern Archipelago incident.

Is Julian a deserter?

Many questions and doubts popped into everyone’s head.

Oh no!

Mr. Collins’ eyes turned red-rimmed with rage and frustration.

He blamed himself for not acting fast enough to save the soldier’s life.

Rage rushed through Zeke as he saw the soldier being murdered for no reason.

He glared at Julian and said, “Julian Thisleton, you shot a Eurasian soldier to death and violated military orders! I’ll send you to the military court for judgment.”

Julian merely replied Zeke calmly, “Recently, I’ve been suspecting that there’s a traitor in this troop, but I have no idea who he is. When the soldier stood up to give false testimony to frame me, I knew immediately that he must be the traitor. I have the right to execute a traitor on the spot.”
