Sean Lennon was silent after he heard what Zander Young asked.
The godfather that had adopted him from the orphanage had already died on the battlefield.
The brother that he had trusted in the past had stabbed him in the back at the most crucial time.
It did seem like there was nothing much for Sean to look forward to at that place.
However, when he met Zander’s hopeful gaze, Sean could not bear to blatantly reject Zander.
Sean hesitated for a while before he delivered the blow with a nice packaging.
“Willow had been by my side, protecting me for the past two years without any complaints.
“I want to make it up to her. When things are done, then we can move on to other things.”
“Commander, no matter what you want to do, I will support you fully.
“However, after you’ve made it up to Madam, please, you have to go back!”
Zander’s tone was immensely firm.
“Things are critical at the border now since we practically lost every battle we fought. The army needs a boost in morale.
“We need you there, our brothers need you, the entire Great Solaria needs you!
“You know, a lot of our brothers have died in vain on the battlefield because of wrong commands!”
Zander’s hands were tightly clenched into fists when he spoke about this. His fingernails cut deeply into the flesh of his palms.
As a soldier, they were not afraid of death.
For the responsibility entrusted to them, to protect the ones they had placed deep in their hearts, they were ready to guard the peace of the entire Great Solaria with their fiery passion, and their lives.
The one that they were most afraid of, was to die, in vain, for nothing, for no reason.
They could have won the battle with a huge advantage on their side, but because of false commands, countless soldiers died in vain on the battlefield.
How could Zander not feel enraged about it? How do the soldiers not feel bleak and hopeless about it?
When Sean heard that many of his brothers died in vain, his hands trembled.
He was aloof, and he was a man of a few words.
However, the sense of brotherhood was deeply ingrained in his heart.
He was someone with high morality, and he was loyal and righteous.
Even after being backstabbed, he still held onto those values.
“Tell me about how our brothers are doing.”
Sean was quiet for a moment before he asked in a faint sigh.
There were some things that he could not escape from.
Blaze Lake betrayed him, but not everyone was like Blaze.
The hundred thousand personal guards were filled with loyal people like Zander, and Sean could not just turn a blind eye towards them.
