Salute To The General



Kiyoshi's capability was far above Akuma's.

Seeing that Kiyoshi had requested to fight in the war, Hidetake was overjoyed. The latter got up immediately and chuckled cheerfully. "All right! The invincible warrior with white armor and a red spear. With you, Kiyoshi the God of Warrior, taking matters into your own hands, Colin's death will be near."

After that, Hidetake asked happily, "Kiyoshi, just tell me how many elites you need to follow you to battle, and which troops you want them to be from. I will fulfill all your requests."

Kiyoshi bowed slightly and replied calmly, “General Hidetake, I don't need to mobilize elites from any troops and I just need to lead a thousand of my warriors. It is currently nighttime. I will assemble my subordinates and set out later. I think you can receive the good news from me by sunrise tomorrow."

Hidetake smiled and answered, “All right. You may go get ready now!"

"Yes, sir!"

Kiyoshi excused himself and strode away.

However, Hidetake didn't rush to dismiss the meeting. Instead, he glanced around at every general at the scene.

Then he spoke lightly, "What do you think about the chance of Kiyoshi defeating Colin this time?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing Hidetake's question. In the next second, they began their discussions.

Some said Kiyoshi would definitely overwhelm Colin and could easily defeat the latter.

Some also stated Colin's strength shouldn't be underestimated, as he had been serving Eurasia's God of War for many years. The odds of success of the battle between Kiyoshi and Colin would most probably be a fifty-fifty chance.

The debate went on and on.

Hidetake furrowed his brows slightly and spoke. "All right. That's enough."

Everyone stopped talking and became silent again.

With a frown on his face, Hidetake said, "Looks like it isn't a guaranteed victory when Kiyoshi is fighting against Colin. Well, we shall give our opponents a taste of their own.

medicine. Didn't Akuma suffe

a

crushing defeat because Eurasia sent Colin to aid Pallav suddenly, catching Akuma by surprise? We shall also use the same method to deal with Eurasia once."

At that, Hidetake paused before continuing, "We should let the news on us sending Kiyoshi out to them on purpose. Then, we will send out a reinforcement troop to go with Kiyoshi. By the time Colin realizes Kiyoshi isn't his only opponent, there would be nothing he could do." Everyone flattered Hidetake's brilliant idea before inquiring, "Who will be sent to support Kiyoshi?"

Hidetake responded smilingly, "Kiyoshi is one of the Four Gods of Warrior of the Jetroinian Navy. Naturally, it's best for the three other Gods of Warrior to support him."

With that, Hidetake proceeded to shout, "Kogoro, the red-haired God of Warrior! Yukio Okamoto, the God of Warrior in a black robe! Shohei Miyamoto, the dual-wielding God of Warrior!"

Following Hidetake's continuous roll call, the three elites of the navy stepped forward in response.

exceptionally flashy. Next, there was Yukio, who was dressed in a black robe and looked extremely distant with his arms crossed. Last was Shohei, who was dressed like a classic Jetroinian warrior and had two swords-one long and one short-hanging around his waist.

These three men were known as the Four Gods of Warrior of the Jetroinian Navy along with Kiyoshi. They were famous elites in the Jetroinian Navy. Hidetake said, "The three of you shall lead your troops and secretly follow Kiyoshi to give him support. You must not make any mistakes this time. Tomorrow morning, I must see Colin's head, and I must see our flag waving on Daragon Island in the news."

Kogoro, Yukio, and Shohei answered in unison, "Yes, sir!"

At night, the moon shone brightly above the sea, and the sounds of the waves echoed throughout the vast ocean.

Colin was currently sitting on the bow of the fishing vessel with a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He was spacing out while staring at the bright moon far away.

Although alcohol was banned in the military, the night out at sea was too cold, and he had to drink some alcohol to stay warm.

At that moment, a subordinate walked over and whispered, "General Dunne, it's windy at night. Besides, it's completely quiet now. I guess the enemy won't dare to return."

Colin glanced at his subordinate and

the enemy's stubbornness. I have a feeling that they will surely return, and it might be tonight. Order everyone to be fully prepared for battle at any time."

The subordinate answered immediately, "Yes, General Dunne."
