Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2507

With that, Isaiah's body was handed over to the troops from Volk.

When Malcolm learned about Isaiah's death and the reason the latter was killed, he remained silent and didn't show any emotion.

Given that Isaiah had constantly been at loggerheads with Malcolm due to their different ideologies, Malcolm didn't care much for it. In fact, he felt that the development was beneficial to him.

After all, his goal was to coexist in peace with Eurasia and not be mired in conflict. Moreover, it was Isaiah's own choice to get himself killed.

Whatever it was, only Malcolm knew how he truly felt about it.

As for Max and the others, it was undoubtedly a massive disappointment.

He was cognizant that Isaiah's death would allow Malcolm to rule Volk unopposed. That ballless Malcolm would definitely not have the courage to join the alliance and go against Eurasia.

Filled with disappointment and unable to hide his anger, Max told Malcolm that Volk was on its own before leaving with his entourage in a huff.

As for the representatives of the other nations, they too began to leave with their respective groups.

Evidently, the summit that was supposed to have recruited Volk had failed miserably after their plan was foiled by Eurasia's Chief Military Governor. As a result, they became the butt of everyone's jokes.

Meanwhile, Nathan was greeted with a grand welcome by the West Army upon his return.

He had allowed Lucas to retain his position as commander-in-chief of the West Army. Nevertheless, the latter's authority had been reduced when it came to making monumental decisions.

Under such circumstances, Lucas had to hold a meeting with the other nine commanders. Only when a consensus was reached could a decision be made.

Lucas no longer had absolute authority over the West Army.

In addition, any major operations by them would require the approval of the Chief Military Governor at headquarters.

Those were the adjustments made to prevent Lucas from committing the same mistake again.
