Chapter 2666
As the White House engaged in battle with the rebel troops, the Felidae Battalion led by Sage likewise engaged in a fierce battle with a platoon of rebel troops led by Yuvan at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.
The fortifications of the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor were comparable with that of the White House.
However, there were only two thousand soldiers of the Felidae Battalion at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.
In the face of an attack by enemies who outnumbered them one to five, their situation was even more critical than that of the White House.
Penny, Kylie, Queenie, Benson, and Leah had all been ushered to hide in the air-raid shelter by Sage.
On top of that, he organized every single staff member at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to unite together and join the battle.From NôvelDrama.Org.
All military personnel at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor joined the battle directly or indirectly, regardless of whether they were generals or administrative staff. Those who couldn't shoot helped to transport bullets and the like.
A mere hour into the battle, the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor was already devastated with countless injuries and casualties. Nheless, Sage still led his subordinates, fighting to the death.
Of course, the situation on Yuvan's side was no better.
Their casualties were even more substantial.
After all, the soldiers of the Felidae Battalion were all elites from the North Army, and the North Army went into battle all year round. For that reason, their combat prowess was far beyond that of Brimmopolis' Capital Garrison.
Nevertheless, Yuvan had the advantage of numbers and weapons, so they could still manage despite the overwhelming losses.
Alas, the soldiers under his command were all discouraged after battling for an hour due to the gut-wrenching casualties and their target being the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor. With the attack making no progress then, their morale dropped even further.
Yuvan had no choice but to give the command to halt and regroup before launching the second round of attack.
At the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor, Sage likewise seized that lull to regroup.
With anxiety written all over his face, he ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and contact Chief. Tell him that the rebel troops are too strong, so the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor is barely hanging on. Implore him to send backup immediately." "General Tomlinson, our signal has been cut off by the rebel troops, and we can no longer contact the outside world now," his subordinate admitted tragically.
What?
Sage was stunned for a moment. In the next instant, a flash of despair flitted across his eyes.
At that precise moment, a bloodied soldier dashed in and reported in a panic, "It's bad, General Tomlinson! The rebel troops have already regrouped and are preparing to launch a second attack on us!" Biting his lip, Sage proclaimed boomingly, "Chief has always treated us kindly. We wouldn't be here today without him. Today is the day we fight to the death for him. Fellow comrades, it's an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield. Come, fight alongside me and meet death head-on!"
This time, he truly went out all, prepared to meet his maker there.
Infected by his enthusiasm, the soldiers of the Felidae Battalion chanted in unison, "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" Then, Sage and the soldiers of the Felidae Battalion returned to their posts once more, prepared to exchange fire with the rebel troops again. However, they couldn't help sucking in a breath after taking their positions.
It turned out that Tuvan had contacted Will after his troops suffered massive casualties and got another armored troop to join them.
The Felidae Battalion was already
hanging on by a thread in the face of
Tuvan's platoon. Therefore, with the rebel troops having an additional armored troop then, they would likely be wiped out in half an hour.
Sage's heart sank, and hopelessness swamped him as he prepared to battle to the death.
Similarly, Yuvan braced himself to command his troops to attack once more.
Just then, a subordinate of his sprinted over and reported, "There's a situation, General Maloney. A car is heading toward us." Yuvan was startled. "A car? What car?"
“A sedan, one driven by the commander rank,” his subordinate answered.
Yuvan and his troops were all stumped.
A sedan driven by an officer of the highest rank drove toward the twenty thousand rebel troops in the distance unhurriedly.
An elderly man in plain clothes stood on the sedan with his back ramrod straight, approaching slowly as though he were there to inspect the troops.
Through the binoculars, Yuvan
discerned the countenance of the elderly man in plain clothes. He inexorably jolted and exclaimed, “It's the former president, Mr. Windsor!"
In plain clothes, Hansel stood on the sedan driven by Hailey.
As the car slowly approached, his gaze first fixed on the wrecked Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor Then, he swept his gaze over the rebel troops before him, the look in his eyes resembling that of a father regarding his children who had done something wrong. It was one brimming with indescribable grief and distress.
The twenty thousand rebel troops each had their advanced equipment and weapon, but none of them dared to look him in the eye, much less open fire.
They all hung their heads like students summoned before the principal after committing a misdeed.
Under the gazes of the tens of thousands of troops, Hansel slowly walked over in plain clothes.
The entire place was so silent that a pin dropping could be heard.
