Chapter 220: Azarin Empire’s fortifications (I)
General Golkon glanced at a map of Radiance City, filled with nothing but rage and frustration. The map was dotted with dozens of red pins marking the sighting of the person causing mayhem all around the north.
The news of this terrorist had spread across the capital, and many voices were urging General Golkon to take care of it, with some even whispering that he should resign as he did not seem fit for the job.
The pressure and fear of losing his job made General Golkon take extreme measures. He had sent hundreds of spies and scouts to that location, packing the north with as many soldiers as possible, yet after weeks of searching, they found nothing. There were times when the scouts and spies located the person and even chased him, but just as they seemed to be closing in, he simply vanished.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit!" General Golkon shouted as he slammed the table in rage. "How can they be so useless? It is a single person, and they cannot capture him!"
Just as General Golkon was releasing his pent-up anger, his deputy opened the gates of his office and walked forward, his face pale and full of urgency. "General, there is urgent news!"
"Did you find the terrorist? Are there any new sightings?" In General Golkon’s mind, there could be nothing more important than the person causing mayhem in the north, yet his deputy immediately shook his head.
"No, General, this has nothing to do with the north!" The deputy shook his head, and just as he was about to continue, General Golkon interrupted him.
"Why are you bothering me if it has nothing to do with the north?" General Golkon could not care less about anything unrelated to the man in the north, so he shouted at the deputy with pure rage.
Under the rage and shouts of General Golkon, the deputy would normally cower, but the urgency of the matter was so immense he did not dare to leave and carried on. "General, there is an attack coming from the west!"
