Chapter 56: Win with idiocy
Vlad saw the group remained at the gates, while the angel on the wall lowered their weapon the next moment.
’It seems that they want us to come to them.’
A sharp light appeared in Vlad’s eyes as he calculated his next step. Even though the leader of this military operation was supposed to be Lieutenant Mitchel, everyone was focusing on him to see what his next move would be.
Eventually, a flash of wisdom, coldness, and killing intent appeared in Vlad’s eyes as he raised his right hand and clenched his fists. Immediately, six figures moved toward him, and it did not take long for his inner circle to stand by his side. It was only then that Vlad carried on, along with the civilians, Lieutenant Mitchel, and the soldiers.
The group advanced until they were less than one hundred meters from the wall. From that point, only Vlad, his group, and Lieutenant Mitchel carried on, as the civilians and the rest of the soldiers remained behind.
General Anglius’s eyes narrowed as he saw Vlad’s group. He was not surprised to see the young man had formed an inner circle, and while he was not exactly happy to see four of his soldiers had sided with him, seeing so many people brought back filled him with happiness and washed away any discontent.
Still, General Anglius’s eyes sharpened the next second as he was in a very delicate situation and needed to keep a clear head, as the next steps they would take could change the entire state of the Silver Wind Military Base.
Vlad, Lieutenant Mitchel, and the rest of the group soon appeared in front of General Anglius and the rest of the small group.
"You must be Vlad Xaos, a student of Codia University. I have heard a lot about you. Some of your college friends arrived at General Omar’s base and told us all about your great prowess against the demons and your efforts afterward in ensuring their safety after that battle. I can only say that is nothing but the act of a hero. I am sure we could have a productive relationship with such a powerful battlefield expert as you, leading soldiers against the armies of the Abyss."
