Chapter 669 Ten years ago, Thea got completely disfigured while trying to save him from the flames.
He had repaid her for saving his life by giving her ten billion dollars. He no longer owed her anything Now, however,
he owed another young maiden, As a man, it was only right for him to admit his mistakes. Back then, he was still
married to Thea. Therefore, he could not make any promises. Now, after having divorced Thea, he had to return to
the battlefield to take charge of the situation.
Looking at Tiara, the young maiden who had experienced fate’s cruel joke, James gave his assurance.
With his promise, Tiara was now at ease. She knew that James, as the guardian of Sol, would keep his word. “I will
wait for you in Cansington. I await your safe return.” James did not stay for a chat. Immediately, he turned to leave
and got back into the car. Tiara got off the road, and the jeep continued on its journey. Soon, they arrived at the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmilitary region of Cansington. A helicopter was on standby on an empty plot of land.
The Blithe King personally came to see James off.
He patted James’ back and said, “James, I’ll leave the Southern Plains to you. I await your triumphant return. We
haven’t been able to have a drink together despite knowing each other for so long. Let’s drink to our heart’s
content once you get back.”
“Sure thing.”
James said smilingly. Then, he got on the helicopter. “Goodbye, sir!” The soldiers’ voices rang in unison. “We wish
you the best on the battlefield and await your triumphant return.”
The helicopter lifted off. Looking at the city beneath him, James felt wistful. “I wonder if I can return alive.”
He murmured silently.
The situation at the Southern Plains was much worse than he anticipated. It was the most critical it had been in
decades.
The three million-strong army of the twenty-eight nations had broken through Southern Plains City. It would be
rather difficult to retake the conquered lands and expel the enemy forces.
The war could rage on for years. Looking at the city landscape slowly disappearing from his view, James was lost in
contemplation.
Soon, the helicopter arrived in Lavender Town at the Southern Plains.
This was a city on the border. Now that the Black Dragon army had retreated from Southern Plains City, it
entrenched itself in Lavender Town to redeploy and reorganize its fighting force.
In the military region of Lavender Town… “Welcome back, commander-in-chief!” The moment James got off the
plane, a sonorous voice boomed in unison. James lightly waved and immediately ordered, “All one-star generals and
above… we’ll convene a meeting immediately.” The moment James arrived at the Southern Plains, he convened an
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmemergency meeting.
A dozen generals gathered in the conference room.
Levi reported the current situation at the Southern Plains to James.
Hearing his report, James frowned. On the way here, he had been mulling over the allied army of the twenty-eight
nations. Although there had always been minor clashes at the border, they were almost always small in scale. Such
a large battle had never broken out before. Something was not quite right here. James still found it hard to believe
that the twenty-eight nations would unanimously agree to invade sol.
Besides, after their last debacle, their National Treasury should be running short of funds after paying the hefty
amount of compensation.
