“You bastard—you owe me my brother’s life!”Another soldier rushed forward as well, raising his weapon to fire.Bang!Seeing this, Camden Murphy fired first. The shot struck the soldier in the hand and knocked the gun from his grasp.Even then, Camden Murphy was about to fire again and kill the soldier outright.But in the very next instant—Bang! Bang! Bang!Hundreds of shots erupted at once. The soldiers around him all opened fire on Camden Murphy together, and in a heartbeat his body was riddled through like a sieve.“To hell with this. We came here to defend our homes and our country, and now the Murphy family and the Cooper family have turned their guns on our families and demanded that we shoot our own kin.”“Brothers, I will not be the Central Council’s dog any longer. I’m done. I’m turning.”“Turn on them! Turn on them!”“To hell with them—open the gates and let the Southern Frontier Army into the city to execute the traitors.”“Open them! Open the gates!”The call was answere

“Young Lord, if I am not mistaken, your forces have already set out by now.”Neil Foster’s voice came through the line.“We will reach Nova City by tomorrow afternoon.”Joseph replied calmly.“General, I have good news on my side as well.”“That lad Clarence Bennett has rallied the garrison units from five or six nearby cities. At present, he has assembled a force of more than twenty thousand men.”“The moment you arrive, he will join your ranks and march with you toward Metropolis City.”Neil Foster said, unable to keep the satisfaction from his voice.“Good. Very good indeed.”At this, Joseph gave repeated words of approval.After a brief exchange, the call ended and each returned to his own affairs.The two hundred thousand-strong army rolled onward in grand formation toward Metropolis City.At the same time, Malcolm Sanchez led four hundred thousand troops in a mighty march toward the East Coast.Once those four hundred thousand arrived, the total garrison on the East Coast would

“Yes, General!”“In respectful submission to the distinguished commanders of the Southern Frontier, and to our brothers in arms there: the eight coastal provinces have jointly declared their withdrawal from the control of the Central Council.”“The Central Council has acted in utter defiance of reason and conscience, betraying the interests of our eight provinces and clinging to life through cowardly compromise. Such conduct is devoid of all decency and intolerable under heaven. The people of our eight coastal provinces understand their duty to defend their land and country. We swear to hold these provinces to the death and yield not one inch.”“In years past, General Eugene Wilson fought side by side with the people of our eight provinces. That bond of loyalty rises as high as the heavens themselves. Our people remain profoundly grateful and have never forgotten.”“Now the thieves and invaders have come once more. We pray that our brothers of the Southern Frontier will remember the b

“Oh, one more thing—the Young Marshal asked me to tell you this: under no circumstances are you to throw everything into mutual destruction. Hold your ground and do not sally out. Wait until the main force of the Southern Frontier Army arrives, and then we will crush the enemy in one overwhelming blow.”“At present, a great quantity of Southern Frontier military supplies has already been transported to the East Coast.”“The main force will follow in stages. All that remains is for the Young Marshal to execute the traitors and launch the counteroffensive against Dreadmoor.”Clifford Castillo added.“Good. Good!”“With the brothers of the Southern Frontier Army fighting beside us, Dreadmoor is finished!”“Come—let us speak inside.”Nolan Bennett made a welcoming gesture and led Clifford Castillo inward.Nova City, aboard the aircraft bound for the Southern Frontier.“Young Lord, we’ve just received word: the eight coastal provinces have issued a joint declaration rejecting the so-called

Outside the departure hall, the sight set the travelers talking at once.“That’s a heavy transport from the Southern Frontier Army. Why is it landing at Nova City International Airport?”“No idea. Maybe war is coming. Once war is near, military aircraft start appearing everywhere.”“Will the fighting reach Nova City?”“Nova City falls under the Southern Frontier Army’s jurisdiction. If war breaks out here, then the situation is far worse than people realize.”“That worthless Central Council has already handed the eight coastal provinces over to Dreadmoor. At this point, what is there left that couldn’t happen?”“Heh. The Central Council is nothing but a nest of traitors.”“...”Voices rose and overlapped on every side.Just then, armed soldiers disembarked from the massive transport plane and moved swiftly to secure every entrance and exit.At that same moment, a convoy pulled up outside the airport.Joseph stepped out of one of the vehicles, with Brian Adams and a retinue of attendan

“Old Gutierrez, what is it you want to say?”Vincent Murphy asked, baffled.Preston Gutierrez, however, paid him no heed. He merely lifted the microphone before him, then rose slowly to his feet.“I, Preston Gutierrez, do not recognize the terms of this agreement, and I refuse to sign it.”“I, Preston Gutierrez, come from generations of Elysian blood. I cannot understand the decision the Central Council has made. As of today, I resign my position as an Elder of the Central Council.”“The Gutierrez family will commit the full extent of its fortune to aiding the Elysian army in its counteroffensive against Dreadmoor and in the recovery of our lost lands.”Preston Gutierrez spoke in an even, measured voice, calm and unhurried.Yet to Vincent Murphy and Benson Cooper, those words struck like thunder from a clear sky.“Old Gutierrez... you?”Vincent Murphy was stunned into speechlessness.“Preston Gutierrez, no wonder every task entrusted to you these past years was met either with excuses
