Salute To The General

Nathan even gave Zach a call after the meeting was over.

The two of them discussed the plan to send their soldiers disguised as fishermen over to Daragon Island.

"Zach, I know this doesn't seem like a big issue, but it can have a huge impact on the country. You must handle this properly so the enemy doesn't get away with it," Nathan said.

Lionheart? Oh,

the South Army. I tried to talk him into staying here so I could train him, but he chose to leave, as it'd be easier for him to reunite with his family during the holidays. I always felt it was a real shame I couldn't nurture such a talented individual. Man, I can't believe he ended up becoming the King of Warriors this year! On top of that, Zach even values him enough to have him lead the operation to
