When Nathan and the others stepped out of the meeting room, they were greeted by a fleet of tour buses.
Nelson was not the only one perplexed by the vehicles; Zion and the others were confused as well.
As everyone ruminated about the sight with varying emotions, they boarded the tour buses. Under the escort of the National Guards, they left the White House and headed toward Brimmopolis' city gate tower.
Not long after, they arrived at their destination. Once Nathan and the others alighted the buses, they went up to the city gate tower.
The moment they arrived at the city gate tower and landed their gazes at the square in front of the tower, they gasped. Similar looks of astonishment appeared on their faces.
Before them, troops of soldiers were standing neatly in line at the spacious square.
Each formation had ten thousand soldiers and there were over dozens of formations.
In other words, Zion and the others were looking at several million
soldiers.
The valiant soldiers were all armed, and various armored units were waiting to pass inspection at the main street a distance away.
At that very moment, everyone had wide eyes. As it turned out, Acting President Nathan, who was also the Chief Military Governor, was inspecting the troops that day. Moreover, they only found out about it after heading up the tower.
Right then, Sage jogged over and saluted at Nathan before saying, “President Cross, all troops are ready. We're now waiting for your inspection. Please give us your next command!”
The troops are ready and awaiting inspection?
Nelson's heart skipped a beat as an ominous feeling washed over him. He then turned to look at Nathan in horror and wondered what the man was trying to do.
Nathan then calmly ordered, “Let's start.”
Sage cried out, “Yes, sir!”
“Start the inspection!” came the sudden roar from an officer a distance away.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
What came next were the sounds of mighty marching.
Then, a troop of two thousand soldiers marched passed the bottom of the city gate tower.
