None of the remaining Eurasian soldiers cheered.
They knew that they owed their victory to the nameless hero. It had nothing to do with Julian.
These two were trying to take credit for the nameless hero’s efforts.
With a look of displeasure, Ares glared at the remaining soldiers. “Men, listen up now. Be good and obey to my
orders. Otherwise, you’ll be executed. Remember this, my men! Taking back the Southern Archipelago was Julian
and your efforts. There was no mysterious man and General Maples did not use any drugs to increase his strength
to that of a King Class Warrior.”
A burly man stepped out from the crowd. “No.”
The crowd turned to realize that it was the leader of the elite team speaking.
“The mysterious man had laid down his life to protect the Southern Archipelago and our lives. If not for him, we
would’ve lost the islands and died. He is the true hero. How can we forget about him after his death?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAres fumed, “Are you disobeying my order?”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“Very well.” Ares grinned. “I admire your honesty and courage.”
Abruptly, he kicked the stone by his foot.
Like a bullet, it shot out and struck the team leader’s head.
In an instant, a bloody hole appeared, and the man collapsed onto the ground, unmoving.
Ares shouted, “Anyone else?”
“Us, too.” Two soldiers came forward.
“Ares, you tried to escape earlier, and you sacrificed us to buy time for your escape. Our family and friends died by
your hands! You’re a coward and a traitor! A man like you has no right to be put on the pedestal like a hero.”
Damn it!
With a swing of his hand, two daggers shot out from Ares’ sleeve and struck at the two men’s hearts.
Both died on the spot.
“Anyone else?” The murderous look in Ares’ eyes would have seared holes in one’s body if it could.
Now, the crowd had fallen silent as chills ran down their spines.
Ares was a ruthless man whom they could not afford to cross.
Ares smiled in satisfaction. “I see that the rest of you are smart. I appreciate that. Don’t worry. I’ll be good to you as
long as you work for me. Let’s go! We shall return to our country with pride!”
Before they returned to Atheville, the news of Julian reclaiming the Southern Archipelago had spread across
Eurasia.
It had been Julian’s doing; he had instructed the media to report the news.
The media had even misled the citizens of Eurasia to strip Zeke of his title as the Great Marshal and give it to Julian.
Now, Zeke’s reputation as a douchebag was imprinted into the citizens’ minds.
As Julian had contributed greatly to the country, the call for Julian to replace Zeke as the Great Marshal was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmunprecedentedly overwhelming.
Tension was boiling as the crowd’s call for Zeke’s removal became stronger.
Although the colonel was suspicious of the incident, he dared not to go against the citizens’ wishes.
In the end, he agreed to let Julian takeover the post of the Great Marshal.
However, he did not plan to rest at that.
He would send his man to investigate the truth of the incident.
The moment he got his title, Julian called Emily, “Now that I’ve become the Great Marshal, you’re naturally the wife
of the Great Marshal. We’ve taken our revenge.”
Emily shed tears of joy as she beamed. “Thank you, Julian.”
After ending the call, Ares looked at Julian intently. “Are you in love with her?”
Julian was unsure of how to react. “Father, what are you thinking about?”
“She’s a mere commoner. Besides, she is a divorcee. So, what makes you think I will like her? She’s just a toy to
me.”
