Chapter 659
Quincy came to James mainly because she wanted to see him.
She thought James was strong and that such a trivial matter would be over in a breeze, Unexpectedly, James was much more
fragile than she thought. “I’ve told you about it. Whether you go is up to you. I’ll head back to the company. Call me if you need
anything.”
Quincy left a few words, took her purse, and left. James sat on the sofa and lit another cigarette. He did not go out for the whole
day. He had no motivation in life and simply stayed in the House of Royals. He did not even go out to eat but simply ordered
takeout. The news of Thea’s twenty-eighth birthday party had spread throughout Cansington. Many people discussed her
birthday party.
Cansington was peaceful. However, the Southern Plains’ borders were facing a raging war. The Twenty-eight-nation Alliance
was not fooling around. They took the war very seriously. As soon as the troops from the twenty-eight countries assembled, they
launched a coordinated attack on the Southern Plains City.
The Black Dragon Army in the Southern Plains was forced to retreat three hundred kilometers under the attack of an army of
three million soldiers.
At night.
A message spread throughout the country. “Latest news! Latest news! The Black Dragon Army has been defeated! The
Southern Plains City has fallen, and the Black Dragon Army has retreated three hundred miles!
“The morale of the Twenty-eight-nation Alliance is high, and they conquered the Southern Plains City instantly! The people of the
Southern Plains have been forced to evacuate!”
“Latest news! The Black Dragon Army has suffered thirty thousand casualties in the war at the Southern Plains!”
Updates on the war happening in the Southern Plains spread all over the country.
Sol entered an emergency state. Troops from all over the country were sent to the Southern Plains to support the Black Dragon
Army
“Black Dragon, please come out to save us!”
“Please come back, Commander of the Black Dragon Army! We need you to turn the situation around!”
On the internet, countless civilians begged for the Black Dragon, the former Commander of the Southern Plains, to come out of
retirement,
Meanwhile, James was fast asleep in the House of Royals. Worried about being disturbed, he had turned off his phone. Henry
kept calling him throughout the night but could not get to him.
In a ward in the military hospital.
The Blithe King personally came to see Henry.
“General Black Shadow, the situation at the borders is dire. Without the Black Dragon, we won’t be able to increase the army’s
morale.”
The Blithe King wore a worried expression. Henry looked at him helplessly and replied, “I’ve been trying to call James all night,
but his phone is turned off. I can’t reach him at all. James is no longer part of the army, so he doesn’t have the authority to join
the battlefield. No official documents from the higher-ups have been issued for him to return to the army. What reasons do we
have to ask him to join the battlefield?”
The Blithe King frowned and pondered for a moment.
“I’ll head to the Capital right now and ask the higher-ups to issue documents to restore James
position. Then, he can return as the Commander of the Black Dragon Army to reclaim our land!”
Henry knew well that the current situation was dire
Without James, the Black Dragon Army’s morale could not be raised.
In war, an army’s morale was a crucial factor.
Confidence was key.
An army that had no morale was like a dog without its master. The Blithe King did not linger at the military hospital and quickly
took a private plane to the Capital
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for many.
The Twenty-eight-nation Alliance launched an attack on the Southern Plains. The Black Dragon Army was defeated, and the
Southern Plains City fell. Countless men of Sol were affected by the latest updates and joined discussions, requesting for the
Black Dragon to return to the army. [Military God, Sol needs you!]
[Please return to the army!]
[Sol, Please restore the Black Dragon’s position.]
The public voices kept going.
Meanwhile, in the Capital.
Supreme Council,
Many prominent figures were present,
The King of Sol, the Supreme Commander. The Emperor, the Blithe King, and other commanders had all gathered.
At the conference, the Blithe King said loudly, “I request for the restoration of James’ position as the Commander of the Black
Dragon Army. The Black Dragon is an elite army, one like a vicious lion. However, the Black Dragon is the backbone of the Black
Dragon Army. Without their commander, the Black Dragon Army is like a lion without its teeth!”
The Emperor stood up and expressed his opinion, “I also think that James should be restored to his post.”
“What a joke! Sol has countless generals. I don’t believe that Sol’s armies aren’t able to defend the Southern Plains without the
Black Dragon!” “That’s right! With so many generals and commanders, why do you insist on James?“
