Most of the infantry had already left in the vehicles, and the original artillery and armored vehicles had already withdrawn to the capital, leaving only a few soldiers behind to pack up the tents and materials such as the prefabricated modular homes.

At this time, Hamed's adjutant came to give a report, claiming that a helicopter was approaching the base.

Hamed knew that it must be Sayid, who was coming to sign the armistice. So, he instructed his adjutant to bring the other party to his headquarters directly after his arrival.

Very soon, a few soldiers brought both Sayid and Zayne into the headquarters.

The first thing that Sayid did as soon as he saw Charlie was to bow respectfully and say, "Master Wade, sorry to keep you waiting!" 3

Charlie smiled faintly. "It's okay. How is the situation on your side?"

Sayid hurriedly said, "Most of the officers from Ten Thousand Armies have already confessed. We have gathered a large amount of evidence, and we are handing this evidence to the news agencies to be edited before we send it out to the world later."

After saying that, Sayid hurriedly took out a thick stack of A4 paper before handing it over to Charlie as he said respectfully, "Master Wade, this is Zayne Carter's confession."

Charlie took over the thick pile of papers, but he was not in a hurry to open it immediately. Instead, he asked him, "Sayid, did you bring the armistice agreement with you?" 2

"Yes!" Sayid then hurriedly took out another document, and he handed a copy of the document over to Charlie and another to Hamed as he said, "This is the template of our armistice agreement. Commander Hamed can read through it first. Master Wade, let me explain it to you verbally since you do not understand the Arabic language."

Charlie nodded and said casually, "Okay, you can tell me about it."

Sayid hurriedly said, "First of all, both my leaders and I are all personally very grateful toward Master Wade not only because you saved my life, but also because you saved our country."

Charlie waved his hand. "It's no trouble."

Sayid said gratefully, "There are basically no requirements written in our armistice agreement because of our gratitude to you, Master Wade. As long as Commander Hamed also agrees tea ceasefire, both parties will immediately enter an indefinite ceasefire. We will also give an express order to all of our soldiers to prohibit any weapons or armed vehicles to enter a thirty-kilometer radius from Commander Hamed's base. Commander Hamed can continue to develop and expand in the future and we will not be interfering in any way."

After saying that, Sayid added, "Of course, while we respect Commander Hamed, we also hope. that Commander Hamed will not take the initiative to attack us again. If Commander Hamed can manage not to start an attack against us, we will never wage war against Commander Hamed, and both of our sides can continue developing peacefully without any aggression against each other!"

Charlie knew that it would be impossible for these two very different forces to achieve a permanent peaceful state of coexistence. However, Charlie feft that as long as he could lift the status quo of the siege on Hamed now, it would make it much easier for Hamed, and it would also give him more time and energy to

improve his own strength. 2

In that case, he would have more initiative even if he were to fight again. 1

Therefore, Charlie asked Hamed, "Commander Hamed, do you have any comments?"

Hamed naturally shook his head repeatedly before saying, "I have no opinion!"

Charlie nodded and said, "Since there are no objections from both sides, it's settled, then. You guys can just sign it."

Both men said in unison, "Okay!"

Charlie then took advantage of the time when the two men were preparing to sign the contract to flip through Zayne's transcript. At first, Charlie did not think that there was anything strange about it. However, he did not expect to feel even more terrified and apprehensive the more he looked through the contents of the transcript! 9
