Salute To The General

Chapter 2661



In the meantime, Erwin was seated in the living room of the Holmes residence with a look of sheer solemnity.

Carrey was standing alongside him, his face pale as a sheet.

Wearing a look of intense anxiousness, Hamish was pacing to and fro in the living room as he uttered apprehensively, "Brayion and the others were wiped out, and I bet Seamus must have been captured by Nathan Cross' men! I foresee he won't be able to hold on for long before confessing everything to Cross! Oh no! What are we supposed to do?"

Erwin snapped coldly, "Stop pacing to and fro in front of me. Didn't I advise you not to act impetuously? What's the point of lamenting after you've screwed up everything?"

Hamish's face turned ashen as he asked helplessly, "Dad, what are we supposed to do now? Cross will surely strike against us after finding out everything from Seamus. I think we're doomed!"

Right that instant, Percy Xaver, deemed Erwin's most unrivaled fighter, entered hastily and updated him, "Mr. Holmes, the latest news is that the President has been issued a Critical Illness Notice by the hospital and could meet his end at any moment. At the moment, Nathan Cross has gone to the hospital to see him. If I'm not wrong, the President has even entrusted his daughter to him."

Hearing that, Erwin furrowed his brows.

There was a drastic change in Carrey's and Hamish's countenance.

Carrey pointed out in bafflement, "Dad, why didn't the President ask you to go over if he intended to entrust his daughter to someone?" Hamish echoed, “Could it be Cross has told the President about what we've done? Perhaps he is even assigning Cross to wipe out the Holmes family before he meets his end!"

The grimness on Erwin's face intensified instantaneously. It was as though there were flickers of petrifying lightning amid dark clouds enveloping his eyes.

Percy stated solemnly, "Mr. Holmes, we're currently in a precarious state. I think we'd better take prompt action now before it's too late."

Erwin let out a deep sigh. "It's never occurred to me that we would be in such a crisis. Am I fated to take this risky move?"

Percy responded, "Mr. Holmes,

haven't you always encouraged us not to easily give up as there is still a hidden chance regardless of how critical the situation is? Even though we are in deep waters at the moment, I'm sure there will be a twist to the current situation as long as Major-General Long is able to mobilize the troops of the

ov

Brimmopolis Capital Garrison. The whole Brimmopolis will be under control if he manages to take Cross down swiftly. After the President and Cross meet their end, it will be easy as a rolling log for you to have the whole cab in hand and emerge as the new President. By then, you'll be able to exert your power in the whole of Brimmopolis and request the media to create good publicity for you. The South, the East, the North, and the West will surely bow to you."

Erwin heaved a sigh resignedly. "I've been keeping my feet on the ground throughout my lifetime. Never have I expected that I'll have to take such a risk now. However, based on the current precarious state, I have no choice but to take prompt action. If not, the situation will only escalate as time elapses."

After pondering for a while, he

finalized his decision. "Fine, contact Will now. Get him to mobilize his troops and seal off Brimmopolis. Apart from that, dispatch two teams at the same time. Instruct one of the teams to ambush the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor They must eradicate Seamus Valeman and all the evidence so nothing will be left behind. As for the other team, get them to take Cross down. Don't forget to send your troops to the White House, Cab, and the other government buildings to ensure the situation is under control."

Percy and the others responded in unison, "Yes, Sir!"

Meanwhile, Will was in his office at the headquarters of the Brimmopolis Capital Garrison as usual.

He had been wearing a stern look since he received Erwin's instruction to take prompt action.

All his trusted aides' eyes were on him as they were pending his instruction.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

After much hesitation, he eventually

made up his mind and thundered out, "Listen to me! Gather everyone in your troops to seal off Brimmopolis. Don't let anyone leave or enter the city, but bear in mind not to cause turmoil among the citizens. Just announce that we're

conducting an air-raid drill and

remind them not to step out of their houses." Content belongs to

All his subordinates responded respectfully in unison, "Understood, Sir!"

Seconds later, he instructed, "Yuvan, lead a division of the army to head toward the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor. By hook or by crook, you must track Seamus Yaleman down and annihilate him. If anyone is standing in your way, eradicate them at once!”

Yuvan Maloney's eyes widened in astonishment, but he still nodded respectfully. "Yes, General!"

Next, Will turned in another direction and instructed, "Xavion and Titus, lead two divisions of the army to take Nathan Cross down now."

The duo responded simultaneously, "Yes, General!"
