Salute To The General
Chapter 2463

Soon, Thomas arrived to see Nathan.

Nathan instructed Thomas to keep an eye on Lucas and the West Army once he arrived at the West and report to Nathan if there was any major operation.

Thomas's expression turned grim upon hearing it. Then, he asked, "Mr. Cross, did something happen?"

Nathan answered, "Lately, Lucas wants to punish Volk by waging a small-scale war against it. From a broader perspective, it's neither suitable nor necessary to wage war against Volk. Nonetheless, I'm worried that Lucas would act recklessly. Hence, be observant and report anything unusual to me immediately after arriving at the West."

Thomas hurriedly replied, "Understood!"

Then, Nathan waved his hand at Thomas. "You may go now."

Nathan gazed at the night sky through the window after Thomas left. A few moments later, he murmured, "Lucas, please don't act on impulse and put me in a difficult position."

For those who dared contradict

Nathan or act without order, Nathan would immediately strip them of their positions.

However, Lucas and Nathan got along well and even treated each other as brothers.

Since Lucas had guarded the West for many years, he was considered the top leader and contributed a lot to the region. Also, Lucas was in a good relationship with Garrett.

Although Nathan understood why Lucas intended to teach Volk a lesson, he hoped Lucas would focus on the bigger picture and not be impulsive. However, Nathan didn't know that while he contradicted Lucas in terms of waging war, the leaders of Volk also argued ceaselessly over the matter.

The matter of debate was whether Volk should ally with eight other nations to form the Nine-Nation Alliance to rival Eurasia.

Max, the Five-star General of Ariarica, met with Isaiah, the new God of War of Volk, to discuss the possible ways to be allies today.

Nonetheless, the cunning Isaiah remained ambiguous in his stance, for he merely said that he would consider the offer.

Max knew that Volk wished to use the Eight-Nation Alliance to threaten Eurasia. However, it hesitated about formally joining the alliance, worrying that such an action would infuriate Eurasia and bring about severe consequences.

Although Max opined that Isaiah was irresolute and two-faced, he didn't point it out directly. After all, he had seen a lot of similar leaders before. Hence, he only asked Isaiah to consider it thoroughly and promised to offer countless benefits to Volk once it became a member country.

After the diplomatic visit, Max and his delegate left Volk.

On the one hand, Isaiah touted Max's visit to Volk as a success; on the other hand, Volk's army continued to provoke Eurasia's West Army near the border.

Furthermore, Isaiah told the press that he would lead Volk's army to invade the West and retrieve all places with kapok plantations.

In the next few days, the West was peaceful. Nathan was initially worried about the possibility of war but could slightly put his mind at ease.

However, Nathan didn't know that it was only the calm before the storm. After finishing his work, Nathan wanted to come out of the study room. Just then, Kylie gave him a call.

Shouldn't Kylie be picking Queenie up from school now?

Feeling surprised, Nathan picked up the phone.

Once Nathan answered the call, Kylie called his name nervously. Then, a man scolded over the phone, "Who allows you to make a phone call-"

As if someone had dropped the phone, Nathan heard a thump before the call ended abruptly.

With a grim expression, Nathan told Colin to come over and instructed, "Kylie should be picking up Queenie now but is seemingly facing trouble. Identify Kylie's location now." Colin replied, "Yes, Mr. Cross."

Colin managed to determine Kylie's location very quickly with the help of colleagues in the military information department.

Right after that, Nathan and Colin hopped into a car and sped toward the location.
