Timothy knew that he could not shirk his responsibility when something as grave as that took place under his supervision.
Not only would he lose his job this time, he might even be killed.
In a quivering voice, he pleaded, “General, I know there's no way to absolve myself from the blame. However, I sincerely ask you for a chance to redeem my mistake.”
Timothy knew he had screwed up big time.
He needed Nathan to put in some good words for him so that he could be granted a chance to redeem his mistake. Otherwise, he would definitely end up dying.
At first, Nathan was reluctant to accede to his request, considering that Timothy was a man on Boris' side.
Yet, something inspired him to change his mind in the eleventh hour.
Nonchalantly, he asked, “You want a chance to redeem your mistake? Very well, I'll give you that. Make your greatest effort in finding out the mastermind behind this ambush. Also, I want to know how they sneaked into our country and then into this city. How did they get their hands on so many weapons in such a heavily guarded city like Brimmopolis? Someone must have been helping them. Find out that person for me.”
The more Timothy listened to Nathan, the more terrified he was, as he realized that the matter was much more complicated than met the eyes.
Generally speaking, mercenaries will find it hard to sneak their way into Brimmopolis, even if they manage to make it past the border of the nation.Given that they were such a large army, it was difficult to remain
inconspicuous.Brimmopolis has laid down a set of stringent laws to regulate the ownership of weapons.So, someone must have been helping them to gather the weapons. That person must be an extraordinary one.Other than having a distinguished and powerful background, that person must have a feud with the General too. Otherwise, the person would have no reason to help a bunch of people who wanted to kill the General.
After doing some analysis, several big shots who did not see eye to eye with Nathan in Brimmopolis popped up in Timothy's mind.
