Salute To The General

Nathan led Fang and the other generals back to their headquarters in the South that afternoon.

Zach and his subordinates were already awaiting Nathan's return at the port.

However, they shouldn't be making a huge fuss about the Battle of Daragon Island, so Zach only brought along military personnel, and there was no press in sight.

Even the news that day only mentioned the battle in passing. It wrote that Eurasian fishermen had chased Jetroinian fishermen away from Daragon Island after a dispute between both parties.

When Nathan led Fang and the rest down the fishing boat, Zach welcomed them exaltedly, "Sir, generals, congratulations on your triumphant return."

Nathan embraced Zach intimately before smiling. "Admiral Hill, it was thanks to the solid backup your troops provided that enemy troops dared not act recklessly. You did great too."

Zach chuckled. "Don't mention it, sir. Your triumph should have been widely celebrated, but we aren't allowed to make it public, so we only prepared a simple feast at the naval base canteen. Let us enjoy together with you and our brothers-in-arms." Nathan smiled. "Great. It's good to keep a low profile. Come on, let's talk after we get inside."

Soon, they entered the naval base.

The canteen was set up into a venue for their banquet.

Served on the table were various delicacies and South Army Special Wine.

Nathan attended the banquet alongside the generals, including Fang, Destroyer, Heptakill, Colin, and Myron.

Other than Zach and other navy generals, they were also accompanied by the other political leaders of the South.

Almost all of the attendees were from the government, but it was not without exceptions.
