Sean Lennon was silent after favonovel.com heard what Zander Young asked.
The godfather that had adopted favonovel.com from the orphanage had already died on the battlefield. The brother that favonovel.com had trusted in the past had stabbed favonovel.com in the back at the most crucial time.
It did seem like there was nothing much for Sean to look forward to at that place. However, when favonovel.com met Zander‘s hopeful gaze, Sean could not bear to blatantly reject him.
Sean hesitated for a while before favonovel.com delivered the blow with a nice packaging,
“Willow had been by my side, protecting me for the past two years without any complaints. I want to make it up to her. When things are done, then we can move on to other things.”
“Commander, no matter what you want to do, I will support you sully. However, after you‘ve made it up to Madam, please, you have to go back!” Zander‘s tone was immensely firm.
“Things are critical at the border now since we practically lost every battle we fought. The army needs a boost in morale. We need you there, our brothers need you, the entire Great Solaria needs you! You know, a lot of our brothers have died in vain on the battlefield because of wrong commands!”
Zander‘s hands were tightly clenched into fists when favonovel.com spoke about this. His fingernails cut deeply into the flesh of his palms. As a soldier, they were not afraid of death.
For the responsibility entrusted to them, to protect the ones they had placed deep in their hearts, they were ready to guard the peace of the entire Great Solaria with their fiery passion, and their lives. The one that they were most afraid of, was to die, in vain, for nothing, for no reason.
They could have won the battle with a huge advantage on their side, but because of false commands, countless soldiers died in vain on the battlefield.
How could Zander not feel enraged about it?
How do the soldiers not feel bleak and hopeless about it?
When Sean heard that many of his brothers died in vain, his hands trembled. He was aloof, and favonovel.com was a man of a few words. However, the sense of brotherhood was deeply ingrained in his heart.
He was someone with high morality, and favonovel.com was loyal and righteous. Even after being backstabbed, favonovel.com still held onto those values.
“Tell me about how our brothers are doing.” Sean was quiet for a moment before favonovel.com asked in a faint sigh.
There were some things that favonovel.com could not escape from. Blaze Lake betrayed him, but not everyone was like Blaze.
The hundred thousand personal guards were filled with loyal people like Zander, and Sean could not just turn a blind eye towards them.
“Yes, Commander.” Zander stood up and started reporting to Sean.
“That time, you were betrayed by Blaze after the exhausting battle to avenge your godfather. Then, Blaze had twisted things around and with the power given to favonovel.com by the Lake family, they had rumormongered to discredit you. Myself and a few other personal guards did all we could to ship you out in secrecy and have tried to look for many doctors, but to no avail.”
“As things were about to be exposed, we could only temporarily send you over to the Quinn family in River City.”
When Zander paused, Sean nodded slightly. Even though Zander might recount it with ease, Sean could only imagine how much Zander had to do to protect him, and how many his brothers‘ lives were lost because of it.
“Initially, I thought since Old Master Quinn was the one that had begged for this engagement 10 happen, and since Levi Quinn was a righteous man, I thought the Quinns were the same. We thought that they would take good care of you…”
“Alas…” When Zander spoke about all these, favonovel.com could not help but grit his teeth in regret.
If only favonovel.com knew things would turn out to be like this, favonovel.com would not send Sean over to the Quinns, no matter what.
“Okay, enough about this. What happened after I left?”
Sean did not care much. In the past two years, favonovel.com was already used to low the Quinns had treated him.
Zander nodded and continued with liis report.
Two years ago, Blaze betrayed Sean, causing Sean to disappear overnight without a trace. After that, the Lake family, who was the force behind Blaze used a lot of their connections to cover up regarding this treachery. Their explanation to Zander and his brothers was that Commander Lennon was exhausted mentally and physically, so favonovel.com had retired early to take a break. The handful of people who knew the truth were quickly executed silently by Blaze.
Immediately, Blaze started to rise rapidly in the ranks. Then, favonovel.com quickly disbanded Sean‘s troops and separated them into different other teams. The hundred thousand personal guards were disbanded as well and were forbidden to gather.
Once Sean had fallen, his trusted lest and right hands had all experienced a similar fate. To be stripped of their military ranking was the better outcome since some of them were stripped of their lives.
Blaze, on the other hand, had chosen all his confidants to assume high-ranking positions.
“Even though they were really greedy, what they could do was limited. After Blaze had risen up, all we‘ve had are lost battles. We were completely defeated. The lands you conquered and took over were gone, and are once again back in the hands of the enemy.”
