The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525

In particular, Rachel and Zander had witnessed Sean’s meteoric success and could not accept his current predicament.

Rachel could imagine how any outsider like them felt about Sean’s situation.

As the party involved, how would Sean feel then, compared to them?

“Get up.

“It’s bad if Willow sees this.”

Sean shook his head slightly and motioned at Rachel to get up again.

“Yes…”

Rachel replied in acknowledgment before standing up with some reluctance.

“How much do you know about that year?”

Sean went straight to the point as he looked at Rachel and asked.

“Commander, we have not heard from you since your last battle.

“The higher–ups explained to us that you had been badly wounded and needed to rest and leave the army for a while.

“But your men didn’t listen. They even defied imperial orders for you.”

Rachel stood up straight and briefed Sean carefully.

“And then?”

Sean nodded slightly.

Zander told him roughly the same thing, but not in too much detail.

As an intelligence officer in the army, Rachel had the opportunity to know more.

“It was later announced that Blaze was appointed acting commander and would take over your position for the time being.

“Two years have passed, and Blaze has taken over your position permanently.”

Rachel explained carefully to Sean.

“What a good subordinate Blaze is.”

Sean shook his head with a smile that carried a hint of self–mockery.

“Commander, Blaze is a smoother talker than you.”

“When you were in command, you never tried to curry favor with others. Blaze is just the opposite. He maintained good relations with others. You can say he has everything going his

way.

“That’s why he was made permanent so quickly.”

Rachel sighed gently, her tone full of mixed feelings.

“Yes, if he weren’t such a smooth talker, how could he have deceived me?” Sean smiled and nodded, but a chill flickered in the depths of his eyes.

“Deceived?”

Rachel froze slightly, wondering what Sean meant.

However, she dared not ask questions.

“Commander, Commander Blaze is good at getting along with people, but he’s not as good at leading an army as you are.

“In the past two years, we have been losing battles so much that we have retreated within the border.

“The land you recovered is once again in the hands of the enemy.”

Rachel let out a long sigh as she said this.
