Chazley hadn't got the chance to explain to Digby. He looked around and repeatedly asked, “Where's Commander Cross?”
Commander Cross?
Digby froze when he heard this and instinctively pointed at Nathan while enquiring, “General Chazley, you're not telling me that this imposter here is the commander-in-chief you're talking about, are you?”
Chazley's gaze followed where Digby was pointing and spotted Nathan. Others might not know who Nathan was, but Chazley had the opportunity to see Nathan in person when he attended a conference in the past. Although Nathan wore the most ordinary combat uniform and a warrior mask, Chazley immediately recognized him. The man standing before the latter was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Hundred Nations Alliance and the God of War, Nathan Cross. Chazley's face lit up with delight as he hurried forward, stood at attention, and saluted. “It's an honor to meet you, Commander Cross.”
The officers behind Chazley also saluted in unison. “Greetings, Commander Cross.”
The soldiers of Steel Wings that surrounded the two stared blankly at one another and then quickly realized what was happening. They immediately stood at attention and raised their hands in salute. “Greetings, Commander Cross.”
The scene left Digby completely dumbfounded. His face turned pale instantly, and he broke out in cold sweat. His heart began to sink, and despair started to set in. Digby's mind was filled with only one thought, He really is the commander-in-chief of the alliance...He really is... Nathan regarded Chazley coldly.
“So you're Chazley of Daprein, the commander of Steel Wings?” Chazley noticed Nathan's indifferent expression and cold tone, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He instinctively replied, “Yes, I am, Commander Cross!”
After he answered, he cautiously asked, “Commander Cross, did my subordinates do something wrong that upset you?”
