Chapter 65: Rejection
"How confident are you in succeeding?"
General Anglius turned toward Vlad with a sharp light in his eyes. The young man’s idea was good and would have been easy to implement if they still had their old technology, but things had changed, and their capabilities were sorely diminished.
"Enough to bet my life on it."
Vlad’s eyes were sharp as he uttered those words, his entire figure brimming with determination.
"Are you really that deteriorated to not side with the angels?"
General Anglius could see that Vlad was ready to risk his life to buy a chance at the Silent Wind Military Base and reject Orion and her angels.
Vlad stared at the middle-aged General for a moment before a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes as he went through Asmael’s memories and remembered the state of the vassal races to Heaven.
"Angels believe in a strict caste system, and I assure you, people like you and me are definitely at the bottom of that list. Right now, they are showing their amicable face since they are low in number and need us, but once their entire armies march into Terra, they will show their real faces.
I would rather die than live like a dog under their rule, powerless to do anything but obey their orders."
