Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1743

Everyone looked at where Tyler was pointing, and sure enough, a silhouette appeared in the mist, and it was approaching them.

To be precise, there were three silhouettes. One belonged to an adult, the other belonged to a little girl, and the last one belonged to a beast, which the girl was riding.

Everyone wondered who they were. After all, the northern top brass had all gathered here. They could be enemies.

The generals got ready for battle, and Sole Wolf barked, “Who goes there? Show yourself.”

The girl said cutely, “It's us, Mr. Sole Wolf. Missy and Grandpa.”

Sole Wolf and the others went up to them with delight. The wolves saw Missy as one of their own, while Nameless and Tyler were her masters. They treated her better than they did their own granddaughters.

Ares took Missy along, after all, and she was riding Tiger Lord.

Right after they came to the North, they knew the generals had gone to the valley, so they came to search for the generals.

Halfway through, they met up with Tiger Lord, so Missy rode him for the rest of the journey. The girl was naturally likable, so Tiger Lord let her ride him all the way to the valley.

Tyler was in full sensei mode. “Have you been practicing, Missy? Don't lie to us. We'll test you later. See if you made any progress.”

Missy quickly answered, “Don't worry, Master Collins. I've been training every single day.”

Tyler nodded happily. “That's good to hear.”

Sole Wolf picked her up lovingly. “Did you miss me, Missy? Do you like this little cat I gave you?”

Missy nodded. “Yes, I've missed you. Oh, and these are for you, misters.” She whipped out a handful of candies and gave it to everyone.

Everyone laughed in amusement. They spent some time playing around with the girl before going back to the matter at hand.

“What brings you here, Ares? Did Zeke send you to keep an eye on us?” Sole Wolf asked.

“Of course not.” Ares shook his head. “I'm here to ask you guys something.”

“What is it?” Sole Wolf asked.

“Ever since the Great Marshal came back from the North, he hasn't been himself. He's acting weird all the time. Do you guys know what happened to him? I need to know why he has changed so much. Perhaps he isn't even the same person anymore.”

Ares' speculation was a grim one, and they had to take it seriously. Ever since Zeke came out of the valley, he had been acting weird. All the generals there suspected that the person who came out might not be Zeke at all.

Tyler asked, “You say he's been acting weird. How, precisely?”

Ares answered, “First, the moment he came back, he took two big batches of herbs from Summerbank, then he hauled a ton of Spirit Stones from Devonville Restricted Zone.

“Second, he's a lot colder to Lacey and Missy than he was, and third, the Great Marshal is staying over at the Ministry of Celestial Affairs. He even appointed Joseph as Summerbank's protector and had me to be his deputy.”

“What?”

Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf leaped up in disbelief, and they looked furious.

Moving away all those resources was already bad enough, but giving his family the cold shoulder and appointing Joseph as Summerbank's protector was proof that the Great Marshal was no longer the same person they knew. In fact, that guy might be a fake.
