How could Mango not understand what he was trying to say?
Hence, she let go of her bashfulness in front of everyone for the first time and hugged Nathaniel tightly. She said softly, "Believe me, Nathaniel. I want everyone to know that I'm not a useless wife that can do nothing but stay by your side. I can also be your comrade, and I can fight together with you. After all, I'm working so hard to that you can be proud of me."
Nathaniel started tearing up when he heard what she had said.
"Thank you for your hard work then."
"Nah, everyone is working hard here. Alright, I'll stop talking now. I'm leaving first to set up my sniping location, so I'll wait for you guys there."
After saying that, Mango took the tracker from Nathaniel's hand and kissed Nathaniel on the face. However, Nathaniel held the back of her head and kissed her passionately.
During the kiss, they could almost feel their breaths on each other's faces. Thus, all their subordinates could help but feel energized when they saw the passionate kiss.
When Mango started running out of breath, she panted and pushed Nathaniel away. Then, she turned around and ran outside.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel watched as her retreating figure got further away with a determined gaze.
"My dear comrades, we are now in a foreign land. Therefore, we won't have reinforcements or support. Thus, we will have to complete this mission ourselves. We are all in this together, so I'll give you three minutes to write your will. As usual, the people who are still alive need to bring back their comrades' will and fulfill their wishes. Can you do that?"
"Yes, we can!"
Just as Nathaniel finished speaking, all the soldiers shouted out together.
This was a fight to the death as these soldiers would do anything to protect their country.
Right now, all the soldiers were burning with passion, and they had all forgotten about their fear of death. Furthermore, Nathaniel had not led his troops for a long time. Thus, he couldn't help but feel that he had returned to the hot-blooded past where he led the army troops to victory.
On the other hand, when Isla saw that, she finally understood why Laborn and Atlas would fail in their plans.
After all, Nathaniel's soldiers all had their own beliefs and principles. Thus, they were willing to do anything for the country and its people. In fact, they were willing to give up their lives as well! Although Laborn had given his military forces some high-end weapons, his men didn't share the same beliefs and principles, so they were not united. Therefore, they worked together because Laborn forced them to do so, not because they were faithful to their king.
Therefore, he was doomed to fail.
Well, Isla felt that she had made the right decision for the first time.
The wisest choice she could make right now was to stand by Nathaniel's side. However, she had not realised this earlier, so she had to pay for her crimes herself now.
On the other hand, Mango didn't know what was going on here. After she had walked out, Isla said softly, "Nathan, I'll go with her because I'm familiar with that area. I know that she's capable, but I'm worried someone will try to set her up. Bernard is more ruthless and smarter than other people, and he has many cunning tricks up his sleeve. So, I'll follow Mango so that she has someone to rely on."
Nathaniel paused for a moment after hearing what Isla had said.
Well, he was worried about Mango. However, Isla knew that he was also concerned about her.
"I know you're worried about me, but please give me one last chance, okay? I swear that I'll never hurt Mango, and I'll do my best to protect her. After all, she's your wife and your children's mother. Furthermore I've already let your father and the Ye family down. So, I'll never disappoint you again before I die."
Isla said these words sincerely.
Nathaniel frowned slightly when he heard what she had said, but he still gave Isla a chance.
Well, perhaps Nathaniel had seen how regretful she felt through her eyes.
After Nathaniel nodded, Isla quickly chased after Mango.
On the other hand, Mango was alert when she sensed that there was someone behind her. However, when she saw Isla, she was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to help you."
Isla said briefly, but Mango immediately understood that Nathaniel was worried about her.
Well, they were in Laborn's territory. So, Isla could probably help her if she tagged along.
Soon, quickly arrived at the hut.
This place was abandoned because Mckenzie had left. However, they could tell that Laborn had been furious because she had run away. After all, he had almost destroyed everything that was in the house.
Then, Mango looked around quickly. There were about three higher locations than normal ground, so she could use them as sniping points. However, these spots could expose her places rapidly, so people would notice her immediately.
Of course, Isla noticed the same problem.
"I'll go over there. You go down there and find a secret place to hide. Then, we can work together to trick him. This way, Bernard will never find out where were are."
Isla said as she pointed to one of the sniping spots their enemies could find easily.
However, Mango shook her head.
"No, let me go over there. Although I might reveal my location, it is the best sniping slow. Once Bernard enters this room, I can get rid of him immediately."
Mango knew that a sniping point had to be at a high point to be effective. Although other places could hide her well, she could not aim for Bernard easily. Therefore, even though she could expose her location here, she knew that she could succeed if she pulled the trigger at the right time.
On the other hand, Isla knew this as well. She had been afraid that Mango would be in danger. However, when she heard Mango's words, she knew that Mango had already made up her mind.
After all, she had come to assist Mango, not to disturb her.
