Chapter 371 The New General, Raven

Tony's words sent Lionel and the surrounding soldiers into a state of shock.

"What's going on?" Someone asked.

"The new general is...her?" A shocked voice asked.

"Wait, isn't she Miles's granddaughter?" A soldier asked.

"No way! How could she possibly be the new general?" Another soldier exclaimed.

Everyone had heard rumors about the new general's young age, but Raven was younger than they had expected.

Miles, who was standing beside Raven, was also in a state of shock at Tony's words. He shook his head hard, as if to snap himself out of a bad dream.

'There's no way, Miles thought, 'Tony must have said something wrong, no, I must be imagining things.'

'Raven had come to the military straight from prison. With her criminal record, it would have been hard to become a Colonel. How could she possibly rise to the rank of General?' Miles thought.
