Chapter 245: The silent moment

"Sir, we are losing Jelkala City.While the Diplomat is cannot reach as of the moment." Head communication officer said. "Sir, the Mayor is on the line" the staff on the side handed the monitor device to the General that was seated in the middle. The general grabbed the monitor and looked at it and the face of the Mayor flashed in front of him.

[Mayor: What have you been doing? Why did you release them? SQUAD, now look at what. is happening. You cannot handle the situation and now it's out of control! Fix this! I don't want to waste the money of the city on such tactics you are implementing on the battlefield. Got it General!?]

[General: Sir- I am very sorry what happened in Jelkala I am sure I will do my best especially my staff we are currently contacting the diplomat of the N.D.A.M it is because the one we are facing are the whole guild of a rebel cell that is currently controlling the Northern Region.]

[Mayor: is that why? Well then, that will be a must keep it up. I am still looking at the current real time scenes on the ground General. I am still the commander-in-chief. But I did not advise you to release the SQUAD. Then why did you release? Them would you give me an answer regarding that decision you have made without my approval.]

[General: Sir that is because of the budget we have the more we cut their services that more we can suffice and put more meat into use and deploy in the battle in Jelkala and Sir we can request aid from the N.D.A.M so we can surely have good players and users on our side you don't need to worry I am sure the Southern government also knows this.]

[Mayor: I am expecting excellent results, General. Don't fail me this time]

[Underground base]

After that intense feeling in his heart, he headed back to his room to get some fresh bath and relax. When he entered the room, the first thing that strike him was the smell of him. "Damn, what do I expect in a man room" he headed to the shower and get some good bath before heading to bed. While laying on the bed, he looked up at the ceiling.

``The past and experience that I have to bear just for them to understand the meaning of what is family. And what I have lost. Hiding it and making them feel I am a stronger person. What am I really?`` Jin whispered before closing his eyes.

Then a knock came. He opened his crusty eyes; he looked at the side. He saw it was already morning, then he headed to the door and opened the door. There, he saw Qi Meili standing in front of him. "What the hell!" he shouted. Qi Meili, who was in front of him, was shocked and fell on the floor because of how Jin shouted at her.

"What are you doing sir?" Qi Meili looked up and then her face turn bloody. Jin stepped back slowly as Qi Meili stood up. While saying, "Why did you leave me suffer, sir? What did I do to you!" she shouted. Jin looked for his FXR-Raven, but it was nowhere to be found.

Jin then shouted and tried to break from the dream. Then he transported into a dark, empty place. Then a deep voice called out.

Jin turns around and saw an arch that has a dazzling light coming out from it. He walked towards the arch, trying to see where he was and what is he doing in this kind of place. Then he saw the Bullet Throne once again and the goddess that was standing beside the throne.

The Bullet Throne floor dripping with blood and spreading throughout the floor. "Blood, are you joking?" Jin looked at the Bullet Throne, pissed.

"Why do you need to use my friend, just to summon me here, huh!" Jin added, and the Bullet Throne suppressive aura made Jin drop on his knees and was about to kiss the blood that was spreading through the floor. Jin tries to look up while his fist was ready as he clenched it.

"You dare speak, follow mouth HEIR! Don't you dare talk back, you are just a HEIR!" the Bullet Throne shouted in his deep, authoritative voice. Jin smirked and tried to get up from the pressure that the Bullet Throne was letting out. Even the Goddess beside the bullet throne needs to bite her lip for her to focus and stand.

While Jin's palms covered in blood and a heavy pressure pushing him down. "ARGHHHHH!" and slowly he stood up, and tried to walk towards the stairs.

"I still can't believe you are really beyond my expectation. As expected of an heir to this throne." The Bullet Throne then transport Jin back to his bed. Jin finally opens his eyes, panting and holding his chest. His sweat dripping from his body and it soaked even his shirt in sweat.

Jin sat on his bed and tried to think it over. He looked at the clock and it was only around 2 AM. He was not that asleep for a long time, but he thought he experienced it for more days than ever.

Jin then grab the monitor on the table and tried to access it. Luckily his account is still a personnel, so he was able to get some news about Jelkala. And within a few hours, the Rebel cell Black Lion Pride Faction has fully occupied Jelkala.

"Well, we expected this from new officers on the ground. They die early and they can't command when they have too many forces on the ground. I feel that the General Directorate is going to be busy in the next following days." Jin whispered as he scrolls down and looking at the estimated deaths and wounded and prisoners.

The head Strategist turns around and said "Well done, thank you for your cooperation Generals" while the other Generals reciprocate the compliment that the Head strategist have said but deep inside them they know that the head Strategist should not be their enemy or else it will surely be a defeat.

Once the head Strategist walks out of the room to report to the Guild Leader about the success the Generals all looked at themselves If they are to be called Generals if they can be beaten by a single Strategist that came from the slums and not from any military academy or teaching.

[Black lion Pride Main Guild Hall Meeting Room]

The door opened and the Head Strategist entered the Guild leaders that were arguing about the funds, stopped.

"Sorry to barge in, Guild leader, but I need to report to you our success over Jelkala. We have taken over the entire city and destroying every Black Armored Knight or Purple Armored Knight. But my ground forces report that their so called "SQUAD" have already been retreated." The Head Strategist stated while saluting at the Guild leader.

"That is fine, Head Strategist." the Guild Leader looked at the sub guild leaders. "Shall we celebrate my dear Sub guild leaders for this succes that you have helped me conquer back Jelkala" the Guild leader stated. While the other sub guild leaders are worried about the N.D.A.M and southern government retaliation for the capture of Jelkala as the first city to be taken over by a rebel cell faction.

"THEN WE CELEBRATE!" the Roaring Lion pride sub guild leader raised his wineglass. Then it followed by the other sub guild leaders, as they can't do anything.

[General Directorate]

"What are you saying we still cannot contact N.D.A.M!? Have you called for the meeting with an official with the Southern Government?" the General was not in a good mood when he just received a report that they have lost all the ground forces in Jelkala.

"Sir, the mayor is calling for you," one of the staff said and the General looked nervous and sweaty when the staff handed the monitor. And when the face of the mayor flashed in front of the monitor.

"WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD ME GENERAL THAT I MUST NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FORCES OF THE ENEMY AND NOW WE HAVE LOST JELKALA CAN YOU EXPALIN THIS TO ME!" the mayor shouted in anger as he clenched his hand while looking at the monitor of the sweaty General.

"Sir- I am calling for a support group from the N.D.A.M and the southern government. I am sure we will have a help from them as they are one people we need right now," the general replied with calmness as he was also nervous seeing the Mayor angry.

"Why not ask for the SQUAD we have?" the Mayor added, and the General said "Sir, but if we are going to hire them we need more money and we will not last for 3 months if that happened. Their price is high. What shall we do sir" the Mayor closed the transmission on the monitor.

[City Hall Throne room]

"WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" The Mayor shouted in anger while he was being looked at by all of his advisors that were standing in front of him.

"That stupid general, I want him dead! Where is the Death Squad? Tell the Death Squad to eliminate the General and then change that general now! Intelligence Minister," the Mayor ordered while he looked at the intelligence minister.

"I will guarantee the head of the General, my Mayor," the Intelligence Minister then snaps his fingers and 4 Death Squad Assassins appeared behind him.
