Chapter 669


    Ten years ago, Thea gotpletely disfigured while trying to save him from the mes.


    He had repaid her for saving his life by giving her ten billion dors. 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 military region of Cansington. A helicopter was on standby on


    an empty plot ofnd.


    The Blithe King personally came to see James off.


    He patted James‘ back and said, “James, I‘ll leave the Southern ins 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 ins 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 ins City. It


    would be rather difficult to retake the conquerednds and expel the enemy forces.


    The war could rage on for years. Looking at the cityndscape slowly disappearing from his view,


    James was lost in contemtion.


    Soon, the helicopter arrived in Lavender Town at the Southern ins.


    This was a city on the border. Now that the ck Dragon army had retreated from Southern ins


    City, it entrenched itself in Lavender Town to redeploy and reorganize its fighting force.


    In the military region of Lavender Town... “Wee back,mander–in–chief!” The moment James


    got off the ne, 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 ins, he convened an emergency meeting.


    A dozen generals gathered in the conference room.


    Levi reported the current situation at the Southern ins 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 shes at the border, they were almost


    always small in scale. Such arge 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 theirst debacle, their National Treasury should be running short of funds after paying


    the hefty amount ofpensation.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
