Chapter 673 Leaving
After the two days of investigations, Jonathan was not at all surprised by what had transpired in Horbah.
Sitting beside the computer, Jonathan looked at the anxious Hades. Jonathan knew that although Karl had betrayed Asura’s Office, Eastern Army was still at a disadvantage, so Hades and the others wanted to provide aid.
“Adjustments?” Jonathan asked Hades coldly.
“Hades, among the seven Kings of War, you’re the one in charge of Asura’s Office. All along, you listened to me and never questioned my decisions. Now, you’re saying that we need to make adjustments. I bet you all have discussed and agreed upon this in private already.”
“Uh… Yes!”
After hesitating for a moment, Hades lowered his head and admitted everything.
“Mr. Goldstein, according to news Geoffrey sent me on Terrandya, the people who stopped us from giving aid to Horbah were spies from Jetroina. Karl left Asura’s Office and caused nearly fifty thousand casualties in Mysonna Army. If I see him, I’ll kill him without hesitation. However, I’ll never allow others to encroach on Chanaea’s land.”
Jonathan’s face turned dark after he heard Hades’ words.
“You don’t want others to encroach on our lands, but what can you do? Back then, I stationed Wilbur at Horbah so that he could be a sword separating Remdik and Jetroina. However, Karl has betrayed us, causing Chanaea’s troops to be separated into three forces. Yaleview Army and Wilbur will definitely want to sit on the fence and reap the benefits while we fight Karl. Do you think you can cross Yaleview and bring troops to aid Doveston?”
“Then we can reach there by air or sea! Mr. Goldstein, we can’t just sit back and watch the situation in Doveston worsen,” Hades declared firmly.
“How many people can we even transport via air or sea? Don’t you know?” Jonathan asked, vexed.
“Let’s not talk about such meaningless suggestions anymore. I’ll manage the matters regarding Doveston.”
Suddenly, Jonathan raised his head to look at Hades.
“Oh right. Do you know what happened at Edenic Heights?”
“Asura’s Office has received the news. I’m sorry, Mr. Goldstein, for not being able to protect Ms. Smith.”
This time, even Hades sounded depressed.
Being commanders who had battled for decades, Hades and the other Kings of War only trusted the weapons they held and their armies.
They were disdainful of Yaleview and the eight respectable families.
What they believed in was having the enemy within a range of artillery fire.
However, the incident at Edenic Heights made them finally realize why Jonathan always rejected their request to battle Yaleview.
The defense of Edenic Heights could not be penetrated in a short duration, even if two mighty brigades went.
Yet, this time, only three people from the Osborne family came.
To be exact, only two God Realm elders fought, and it was as if there were no foe, for they easily restrained all the key members and kidnapped Josephine.
The confidence of all the Kings of War and their unrealistic fantasies of future war were immediately shattered with such a result.
For the first time, they realized that what Jonathan had been doing all along was correct.
