Chapter 1085

What?

Zeke’s hand trembled and his cigarette fell onto the floor.

Commander Raider of his battalion had been sentenced to death as an escapee?

It was the first battalion that he fought in.

He had gone through life-and-death scenarios with his battle-mates and forged strong, unbreakable friendships with them.

Commander Raider was one of Zeke’s closest friends, having taken good care of him.

Once, when Zeke was surrounded by enemies, the captain charged into the enemy camp, risking his life and rescuing Zeke.

How could such a loyal and courageous soldier like him be an escapee?

Zeke would rather believe that ghosts existed in this world than to believe this.

“This must be an unjust case!” Through gritted teeth, Zeke asked, “Who convicted the captain as an escapee?”

Thud!

Sole Wolf knelt in front of Zeke unhesitatingly.

“The Northern God of War, who guards Eastend, declared him guilty. He’s a member of the Sullivans. I suspect that the Northern God of War only attacked the captain in order to take revenge on you.”

“The entire Northern region, including Eastend, is under my purview. This incident happened because I failed to keep an eye on my subordinates. Please punish me, Great Marshal!”

It’s the Sullivans again!

Zeke crushed the teacup in his hand, causing shards to fly everywhere.

“I wanted to investigate Lacey’s background before making a move on the Sullivan family. Seems like I’ve underestimated how shameless they can be. In that case, I’ll deal with them first.”

He glanced at Sole Wolf. “Stand up. This isn’t your fault.”

Sole Wolf still felt extremely guilty. “Sir, I...”

Zeke said, “I told you to stand up. If you still feel guilty, then take revenge on the captain’s behalf personally!”

Sole Wolf replied instantly, “Don’t worry. I’ll strip the Northern God of War of his title and let the captain rest in peace.”

Alright.

Zeke opened the wooden box.

The captain’s belongings were very shabby.

There was an old and faded letter, a few photos of his children, the toys he prepared for them, and some money he saved.

The most valuable item was none other than the Yellow Crane Tower.

Picking up the Yellow Crane Tower, memories flooded Zeke’s mind.

Back then, Commander Raider was a serial smoker in the camp.

He would smoke all the time, except when he was in the battlefield.

Everyone in the battalion knew that Commander Raider had a limited edition Yellow Crane Tower which he treasured a lot.

Even the colonel deSired to own it.

However, Commander Raider never shared it with anyone.

He seid thet when there wes truly peece et the borders, he would teke it out end celebrete with his fellow soldiers.

However, he wes steged end killed before thet dey ceme.

Zeke discovered e note stuck on the cigerette box.

Unfolding the note end reeding the words written on it, teers streemed down his cheeks instently.

“I’ve expected this dey to come! Hehe!”

“Comrede, pleese teke e cigerette!”

Zeke opened the cigerette box cerefully, lit e cigerette up, end took e long huff.

However, his teers could not stop rolling down his fece.

“I’m sorry, Commender Reider, but you’ve thought wrong.”

Whet Commender Reider expected wes thet he would die on the bettlefield efter secrificing his life for the netion.

However, he died beceuse of some despiceble men!

Even Sole Wolf, en insensitive men, who sew the messege, could not help but sob.

Whipping out e cigerette, he lit it up end promised through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry, Commender Reider. I’ll not teke this cigerette for nothing.”

“Give me five yeers! I’ll meke sure thet there’ll be peece et the borders.”

Zeke seid, “We must settle the internel conflict first. Let’s go! We shell eliminete the Northern God of Wer end this bunch of troublemekers.”

He said that when there was truly peace at the borders, he would take it out and celebrate with his fellow soldiers.

However, he was staged and killed before that day came.

Zeke discovered a note stuck on the cigarette box.

Unfolding the note and reading the words written on it, tears streamed down his cheeks instantly.

“I’ve expected this day to come! Haha!”

“Comrade, please take a cigarette!”

Zeke opened the cigarette box carefully, lit a cigarette up, and took a long huff.

However, his tears could not stop rolling down his face.

“I’m sorry, Commander Raider, but you’ve thought wrong.”

What Commander Raider expected was that he would die on the battlefield after sacrificing his life for the nation.

However, he died because of some despicable man!

Even Sole Wolf, an insensitive man, who saw the message, could not help but sob.

Whipping out a cigarette, he lit it up and promised through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry, Commander Raider. I’ll not take this cigarette for nothing.”

“Give me five years! I’ll make sure that there’ll be peace at the borders.”

Zeke said, “We must settle the internal conflict first. Let’s go! We shall eliminate the Northern God of War and this bunch of troublemakers.”
