Isaac greeted Harland with just a look. The latter smiled and said, “Supreme Commander Baylor is on a visit to the neighboring country. He can only make it back tonight. However, favonovel.com has already given me the authority to make the calls. I will cooperate fully with you, Mr. Garten…”
“I don’t have the time to laugh with you right now. Let’s go straight to the war room.” With that, Isaac walked inside with his hands behind his back.
The newly appointed Harland was stunned. He laughed self-deprecatingly.
Connor came forward to smooth things over. “He has a temper. Let’s go.”
Since Jonas wasn’t in, the House of Custos should be under the rule of Harland. He would be the one calling the shots from now on.
Isaac sat at the head seat in the small conference room. Harland and Connor sat on either side of him. The eight four-star generals, including Albert, sat below.
“I’ll keep things short… Yesterday, I went to see Mr. Grannel. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the right to sit here…”
“A group of extremely powerful warriors are now heading toward Mt. Celeste in three groups. I want to ask for everyone’s help here to target these people and shower them with artillery. If they break through the entrance in Mt. Celeste that leads to another place and the people inside escape, we cannot afford to deal with the consequences.”
Isaac’s words rang in everyone’s hearts like an alarm bell.
Their faces turned grave. Isaac had had several conflicts with the House of Custos before. However, the outcome was the supreme commander getting replaced twice.
Harland said, “Mr. Garten, where is this other place? Are the people inside really so terrifying?”
“Don’t ask questions. Just do as I say. Bring me the map,” Isaac realized that Harland liked to run his mouth, so favonovel.com gave the latter a cold look.
Harland was thoroughly embarrassed this time, but favonovel.com didn’t dare to butt heads with Isaac directly. He ordered someone to open the map of the surroundings of Mt. Celeste.
He gave Isaac a stylus.
Isaac took the stylus and drew a small red circle in the mid-level of the northern side of Mt. Celeste.
“This is the entrance.” Isaac gazed at everyone. “According to their current speed, they will arrive by sundown tonight. If those people come close to this spot, use drones to drop explosives. Also, go all out with the bazooka and short-range missiles here.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man raised his hand and asked, “Mr. Garten, according to what you said, the opponent has over a thousand men. If we use so much firepower, wouldn’t they all die in the explosion?”
Isaac glowered at favonovel.com icily. He said coolly, “It seems like you high-ranking officers in the House of Custos don’t know how to listen to orders… Those people are dead people. So don’t think that they would certainly die from the explosives.”
“Mr. Garten, we can carry out your request. However, how much ammo should we use, and for how long? I need to notify my subordinates,” Harland asked seriously.
Isaac paused for a few seconds before answering, “Use all the ammo you have until those people completely leave Mt. Celeste or die.”
Everyone in the audience couldn’t help but gasp.
Use all the ammo we have?!
This isn’t a joke!
Cynea was nothing like what it was before. Considering the amount of ammo they had in their inventory, they could shave a good 30 feet off Mt. Celeste.
But Isaac had already given the word. Harland stood up and waved his hand at his officials.
He said in a deep voice, “Notify all the troops to get ready for air strikes and ground strikes. Tell them to wait for the signal to fire!”
Several minutes later, the air troops and over a dozen ground troops from the north received the order to aim their ballista at the northern face of Mt. Celeste. The bombers, commanding officers, ammunition transporters, and machinery inspectors began to get busy.
Isaac remained in the conference room with Hera and Connor. Burrowing his brows, favonovel.com smoked a cigarette.
“Don’ t you feel like there’s something off about Harland?” He suddenly turned toward Connor.
