"Sir, I don't know."
The deputy fell silent for two seconds after hearing that. Then he shook his head slightly.
"I trust you the most. There is nothing you cannot say.
"I'm just speaking on a whim. Just consider this a casual chat."
Jason shook his head slightly and beckoned his deputy to sit down.
"Well..."
The deputy paused for a few seconds before nodding gently.
"Sir... I don't know or dare to say which commander is better.
"But I know that the Northwest Army had millions of soldiers two years ago, intimidating everyone. And every one of them is a good fighter.
"Foreign enemies dare not cross Dragon Kingdom's borders.
"And these two years... the soldiers are scattered. We suffered successive defeats and lost countless soldiers.
"It is said that we lost the lost land we recovered again..."
The deputy spoke his mind in a solemn and slow voice.
He still did not say who was better between Sean and Blaze.
However, he had already made his point.
The army was strong, and the country was peaceful when Sean looked after the borders.
They kept losing after Blaze was in charge, and their enemies were always looking for a chance to make a comeback.
Jason knew all this too.
"Sir, according to the latest statistics, the number of our soldiers killed in battle in the last two years...
"Are ten times more than Commander Lennon had lost during his eight years in the war...
"I dreamed of going to the Northwest and serving under Commander Lennon.
"But now I only want to live a peaceful life in River City.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain..."
The deputy was also sentimental. His eyes warmed slightly before he slowly saluted and turned to leave.
Jason opened his eyes wide, feeling deeply touched.
"No one can take his place.
"Any good man of Dragon Kingdom should help him get back in power and lead Dragon Kingdom soldiers again!"
Jason slowly got up. After mumbling to himself, there was a sudden determination in his eyes.
He could let go of his future.
Blaze did not deserve the position. Dragon Kingdom would be in great trouble sooner or later if this went on.
When that time came, even the country would be gone, let alone family?
It was only then that Jason decided to forsake darkness for light.
Jason picked up the phone to report the news to Sean.
On second thought, he put down the phone and decided to meet Sean in person.
After all, communications in the army were likely to be monitored.
Sean would be in danger if he were exposed.
...
In a business club not far from the Reach For Will Group building.
