Salute To The General
Chapter 2475

The fleet of Firedrake One, cargo planes, and fighter jets had just landed at the West Army airport.

There, more than thirty thousand troops of the West Army watched with amazement. Right then, over two thousand masked and armed soldiers from the Felidae Battalion quickly got off the plane and lined up. At the same time, the legendary Eighteen Riders made their appearance as well.

Right behind them, the Chief Military Governor showed up wearing a Leviathan mask, the phoenix military coat, and combat boots. Colin, Sage, and Elite Eight were with him as they exited their private plane calmly. By then, the red carpet had already been rolled out right in front of their private plane.

The honor guards of the West Army were quick to set everything up quickly.

The moment their Chief Military Governor stepped on the red carpet, the captain of the honor guards abruptly pulled out his sword and ordered, "Salute!"

Thud!

In a uniform manner, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the West Army raised their hands vigorously and saluted their Chief Military Governor.

"Welcome, Chief Military Governor!" Tens of thousands of soldiers roared, their voices thunderous.

Everyone was staring at their Chief Military Governor with amazement. He's here! He'd led the Horth Army in the North to defeat the Xyperian army. He's truly a God of the military.

The West Army hadn't been doing well at all against the Volkians. In fact, their morale had taken a hit because of that. Despite their unfavorable situation, their superiors had been hard on them and told them to hang tight. Hence, a sense of resentment had arisen within the troops.

A surprise visit from their Chief Military Governor definitely served as a huge morale booster.

However, someone wasn't as excited to see the Chief Military Governor.

That person was none other than Lucas, the commander-in-chief of the West Army. He was also known as the formidable Dragon of the West.

Originally, Lucas planned to turn the drill into an actual battle. He wanted to act on his own and attack Volk.

His plan was to launch a surprise attack on Volk's Ares Squad and kill the arrogant God of War of Volk, Isaiah.

However, it was beyond his wildest expectations that Nathan would show up the moment he'd already gathered all his troops.

Deep down, he knew Nathan's reason for the visit was to stop him from launching an attack on his own.

At that moment, he could only stare at Nathan with a complicated expression on his face. When he saw how much the West Army admired Nathan, he was displeased. Before he came, I was the man the West Army admired. Now that he's here, he'd become a god-like figure in the troops' eyes. No matter how displeased he was, he had no choice but to regain his composure and hurried over with his men to welcome Nathan.

When he arrived in front of Nathan, he lifted his arm and saluted Nathan. "Hello, Chief Military Governor!" "Thank you for your hard work, General Ziegler." Nathan saluted Lucas and shook his hand.

Nathan then threw a glance at the tens of thousands of armed soldiers of the West Army and smiled. "What a warm welcome this is, General Ziegler! In fact, everyone in the West Army is very welcoming. I'm so touched seeing everyone gathered up just to welcome my arrival. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

When the troops of the West heard that, a realization dawned upon them. Oh! So the emergency assembly tonight isn't a drill nor a preparation for a battle. Instead, it's to welcome the Chief Military Governor.

At once, the troops shouted, "It's no problem, Sir!"

Instantly, Lucas had a strange expression on his face. I've gathered the troops for battle. How did that become a welcoming assembly for Nathan? Perhaps he's just being nice to avoid any conflict. He's not exposing me to make me look bad.

Lucas then went along with Nathan's statement. "Chief Military Governor, I'm sure you know how tough life has been for the West Army. That's why you've come to visit us personally. We welcome you, Chief Military Governor!"

Instantly, a loud cheer erupted from the West Army at the scene.

Lucas then added, "Now, let's invite Chief Military Governor to say a few words."

Without any hesitation, Nathan gave an inspiring speech to the troops.

Since Nathan was an eloquent speaker, the troops kept cheering and clapping upon hearing what he had to say. Before he ended his speech, he said profoundly, "We're standing together to uphold peace. Hence, it's a huge responsibility to bear. We must be careful with what we do and make sure we don't make any mistakes!" Although the troops had no idea what Nathan meant behind that statement, it'd hit Lucas like a truck.

Lucas knew Nathan was hinting to him not to act rashly on his own.
