Zach explained, "I have the final say in the South Army. However, the troops that arrested your brother are not under the South Army. They belong to the North Army.”
"Why are the troops of the North Army here in the South?" Jaxon furrowed his brows.
Zach further explained, "They are here to participate in the joint drill. You know that Nathan has previously served in the North Army, and he has a close relationship with Franklin Wilson..."
The Schulz family had delved into Nathan's background. According to their investigation, Nathan Cross was a soldier under Franklin Wilson, the major general. After Nathan quit the army, Franklin had continued to show care and support to him.
Franklin Wilson was the one who had sent troops to help Nathan out whenever he caused troubles in the South.
'So you mean to say that this time, the
North Army is backing Nathan up?” Jaxon asked with a contemplative look on his face.
Zach affirmed his conjecture. "Yes. I'm only in charge of the South Army, butthe North Army is the one who caught your brother. Nathan is the General of the North, so I can't really cross the line to give my command to the North Army, can I?"
Jaxon was displeased. “But they caught my brother! Nathan even injured some of the Schulz family members. I can't let him off."
Zach proposed, "Look, I can make sure the South Army doesn't interfere in this matter. We'll remain impartial. What do you think?"
Jaxon narrowed his eyes and considered his options. Then he asked, "What about Franklin Wilson?"
Zach smiled. "Franklin used to serve in the North Army, but he has now been transferred to the South Army. He's now under me, and I can promise you that all my subordinates will not be allowed to interfere in this matter."
Jaxon was satisfied when he got Zach's promise.
Now that Franklin Wilson couldn't lend his help to Nathan, Jason bet a hundred to one that the small regiment that came from the North for the drill would never be able to save Nathan this time.
Jaxon thanked Zach after he got from him the contact number of Colin Dunne, the commander of the Dragonfury Forces.
