Fang and other generals greeted them all together and exclaimed, “General! You finally returned safely! We can be rest assured now.”
Nathan smiled. “You came just in time.
Otherwise, we may not be able to come back smoothly.”
Fang beamed. “This time, we gave those fools in Xyperia a full head-on, so they must know how weak they are compared to us and dare not be so arrogant anymore.”
Destroyer smiled heartily. “Ah, it feels so great to smash their thirty thousand troops!”
Heptakill laughed. “If we exploit our victory in hot pursuit, the three hundred thousand border troops in Xyperia would've already been defeated.”
Nathan grinned and said, “That's unnecessary. If we eradicate them tonight, I'm afraid the whole world will be in chaos tomorrow. We only need to show them who's the boss.” Everyone laughed.
Colin looked at Saxon, who wore an ugly expression. “General, what should we do with this guy?” Everyone's attention immediately fell on him.
Saxon's face grew pale, and his voice trembled. “Gen-general...have mercy...”
Nathan stated coldly. “Now you beg for mercy? Where's your pride when you killed my military officer with dumdum bullets?”
Saxon hesitated but could not give a reply.
Nathan ordered indifferently, “Drag this bastard away and execute him to avenge the late
Lieutenant Sutcliffe.”
“Yes, General!”
Shortly, several heavily armed soldiers from the North came and took Saxon away.
Not long after, a gunshot was heard.
Saxon Murphy, who murdered Lieutenant Sutcliffe, had died.
Nathan commanded, “Send back Saxon's body to the Xyperian borders, and warn the Xyperian troops that this is the consequence of destroying our armies."
