Chapter 1013 Show Respect

As the chief of staff, Axel Zenfeld was under immense pressure.

Everyone praised him as a military prodigy. With merely 30 soldiers, he managed to put up a fight for so long and bought time for the main force. Moreover, they managed to destroy several enemy

communication hubs.

The enemy hesitated to commit a full–scale assault and resorted to relentless bombing from their annihilator planes. They presumed the bold offensive was a carefully laid trap, and there was a substantial force in ambush.

Axel orchestrated this perception deliberately. Regardless of the dire condition, he still wanted to retain his mighty nation’s pride. He would never back down.

In fact, he had ascended the mountain to provoke the enemy, which led to their bombardment. His fearless demeanor convinced all the enemy soldiers that it was undoubtedly a trap.

Elwood had said, “They are known for their cunning and have numerous tactics, like provocation, to lure us into their traps. There will surely be traps waiting for us if we go over.”

Their colonel had faced ambushes before, which made him especially cautious. Moreover, he was knowledgeable about Cascadia’s history

To him, Cascadia resembled a dormant behemoth, with a storied history of battles and strategic maneuvers. He had a penchant for Cascadia plays, including the “Bluff at the Empty Fort“.

Having fought with Axel three times, the colonel had come to understand his opponent’s character and

arrogance.

The Soul Forger had also mentioned more than once that the earth’s energy was currently at Cascadia.

The colonel had to wait for the energy to dissipate slightly before attacking, as any premature attack

would be disastrous.

Their situation improved since the Soul Forger appeared and Axel had ceased his provocations. They had even managed to wipe out one of the opponent’s squads, thanks to the master’s formidable defenses.

Yet, no one realized their forces were stretched thin. This was due to Axel’s brilliance.

Wynter sensed it the moment she arrived.

What drove their victories when faced with outdated weaponry, scarce resources, and limited knowledge? Beyond the will of the people, it was the extraordinary leaders.

These leaders were rare talents and possessed an unyielding spirit that nothing could extinguish. They

came for the nation and would sacrifice themselves for it.

Wynter would never forget the profound impact of learning about Caleb Will’s deeds in her present time.

Despite the country’s underdeveloped state, Caleb’s achievements could have elevated him to the pinnacle of global recognition and wealth. Yet, he chose to return home because his country needed him.

During a time of scarcity and hardship, when few were literate and opposition was rampant, Caleb said, Having no weapons is one thing, but having them but choosing not to use them is another.”

Furthermore, Caleb envisioned concepts such as the “Metafield“. He even proposed the name “Linquo for the first–generation virtual reality.

Many in the modern world flaunt foreign brands, speak in mixed languages, and believe themselves superior. They failed to recognize the countless homegrown talents that had shaped the nation’s history. There was Caleb Will in scientific advancements and a wise old man in agricultural innovation.
