Salute To The General

Gianna answered, "It would be difficult to deal with Nathan directly, so I think we should start with his trusted allies. That will deal a blow to his overall strength, and we could use his allies as bait to lure him to his death.

"I've already looked into the matter. His trusted allies, Colin Dunne and Ava Quinn, will be in the Peacekeeping Forces' headquarters today to train others.

"I plan to go after them and force Nathan to come to his death." Curious, Antonio asked, "Will he really come to us just to save his subordinates, Colin and Ava?"

Gianna smiled. "You don't know this, Master, but Nathan is a slave to his heart and cares deeply for his men.

"When he was the commander-in-chief of the North Army, he set a rule that was said to be of utmost importance.

"If the army were to get in trouble and had to retreat, the new blood must be the first ones to flee. The more experienced ones were to stay back to buy them time. Similarly, high-ranking officers with greater skills and better chances of survival would be the last to retreat. "Given how much he cares for his men, he will surely come to us once he learns that his subordinates are in trouble.
