The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3211

As soon as the phone call was connected, Porter asked Zayne straightforwardly, "Do you have any good news for me?"

Zayne was then incomparably embarrassed as he said, "Lord... Hamed looked for a middleman to come over today to request for a peace negotiation with us..."

"Peace negotiation?!" Porter immediately said angrily," Hamed and the soldiers under his command are all responsible for the lives of more than two thousand and five hundred soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who have been sacrificed. Aside from their complete annihilation, I will not accept any other outcomes!" 2

Zayne mustered up the courage to say, "Lord, the problem now is that we cannot seem to pressure Hamed at all, and the only way would be for us to continue keeping guard here. However, it would not be a solution for us to continue staying here forever! We are making serious daily economic losses, and if this were to continue, it would seem as though our losses would outweigh the gains..."

Porter said sternly, "As long as you surround them completely and do not leave them with any chance of making their escape, it would not take long before they end up in chaos. Even if there is no chaos, they will not be able to hold on for too long! How can a bunch of hillbillies from the mountains in the Middle East possibly be able to fight a protracted war with us at this time?!" 2

Zayne sighed regretfully as he said, "Lord...the main problem is that Hamed has already long stocked up on a huge number of strategic reserves. I dare not say anything else, but based on their current strategic reserves, it would definitely not be a problem for ten thousand men to last for a whole year. However, we cannot stay here with him for a whole year, and the government is also thinking of giving up and leaving..."

After saying that, Zayne then reported his current situation to Porter in detail.

When Porter heard about the situation, he was outraged.

He was extremely furious and angry as he cursed," Zayne Carter! I've never suffered such a huge loss, lost so many of my men, or even been placed in such a passive situation at all in so many years since the establishment of Ten Thousand Armies! You've really broken several records in a row!"

Zayne also felt very aggrieved at this time, and he felt a lot of grievance and pain as he said, "Lord, I admit that I've truly underestimated the enemy before this. I really did not expect to meet a decent opponent in Syria, and I would be willing to accept your punishment at any time. However, the main problem right now is that Hamed has already enclosed himself inside an iron barrel, and he has also prepared and stocked up on a large amount of food and supplies. Our troops of fifteen thousand men are really in an extreme dilemma!"

"If the government withdraws their forces and only our men are left to surround Hamed here, the situation would be even more awkward, then! The government will only pay the mercenaries who work for them, and we did not only lose a battle after coming, but if we also decide to go against their wishes, they will also probably turn their backs against us because of this. When the time comes, the losses will not be worth the gains at all..."

Porter was so angry that he really could not wait to personally head to Syria to deal with Hamed and destroy him completely. This was because he knew that as long as Hamed was dead, his army would certainly be completely disintegrated. At that time, all of their problems would then be completely solved.

However, Porter looked at the cheap coffins that were piled up in front of him, and he could not help but warn himself that he should not allow himself to be distracted at such a critical moment.

He secretly thought to himself, 'Although I have great confidence that I will be able to kill Hamed without him knowing it at all, there are only a few days left before the Tomb Sweeping Festival now. The timing is really too tight! Even if I were to leave Oskia to head to Syria now, the time that I would be spending traveling for one round trip would take at least thirty hours!'

'In case I get delayed because of any factors that I cannot foresee, I'll not be able to personally make it up to Mount Wintry on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival, then!'

As he thought of this, Porter ground

his teeth and said, "Why don't we do

el.r

this, then? Do not get into a deadlock with the government for the time being, Since they want to meet and discuss the peace negotiation with Hamed, you should also participate in the peace negotiation, starting with the. specific details of making peace. It would be best for you to try and delay the pace and progress of the peace negotiation. However, if the government has already decided on it, you will have to demonstrate an uncompromising attitude immediately. Let our soldiers continue keeping guard there and wait for me to finish the important things that I have to deal with over here first before I go over there to solve this matter!"

Zayne could only agree to it and say, "In that case, I'll meet with Hamed's men in the afternoon first to see what their attitude is."

"Okay." Porter then exhorted, "No

matter what it is, you have to make

sure that you try to stall Hamed and the government, and you should never allow them to reach any agreement in private. If the government cannot wait to withdraw their troops, tell them that I, Porter Waldron, will use my own reputation to guarantee them that no matter how much strategic reserves Hamed has, I will deal with him and get rid of him before the end of April. I believe that they would have also

heard of my strength before!" 11
