Chapter 377
Summon Of The Sword
Chapter 377 âYoung Master Zimmer, I think you worry too much.â Quillâs âguard dogâ immediately stepped forward and said with a smile. âYoung Master Zimmer, even if Sean had been a really capable person before... âThat was only back then. Now heâs just a cripple stuck in a wheelchair. âHow would he be able to compete with you now?â Quill could but nod upon hearing the young manâs analysis.
Those were the words that he liked to hear.
If the young man had said that Sean was someone important and prompted Quill not to provoke Sean, Quill would definitely slap him across the face and tell him to leave.
âYouâre right. Even if Sean had been somewhat capable before, so what? âIn the past, the Quinn family of River City didnât even give two hoots about the Zimmer family!
âNow, ever since Old Master Quinn left, hasnât the Quinn family business been going downhill? To the point that theyâve even tried to win my favor?â Quill took a puff of his cigarette, feeling exuberant.
âYoung Master Zimmer, youâre right!â The young man next to him, as Quillâs âguard dogâ, knew very well what Quill liked to hear.
âHaha! They should know my IQ.1 âIâm in a good mood today. Letâs go and drink!â
Quill waved his hand and took the car keys as he walked right out the door.
River City army.
Located on the outskirts of the city, outside the outer ring.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the army had a very high status.
Therefore, in River City, the status of the River City army was very highly respectedâor at least it seemed to be at surface level.
The people who were stationed here naturally shouldered the burden of the cityâs harmony and stability.
Those in the army would not be casually dispatched on weekdays. It was no exaggeration to say that the River City army was like the mainstay of River City. They were the protectors of the entire River City! With them stationed on guard, there would certainly be little trouble in River City.
Jason Yeast, as the spokesman of the River City army, held an even more prestigious status. Once Jason hung up the phone with Jon, he made another call. âCommander, this is Jason Yeast speaking.â
The moment the call connected, Jason immediately stood up and spoke in a very respectful tone.
If a person was being treated with sucli respect by Jason, the spokesperson of the River City army, you could only imagine who the person on the phone was. âHowâs it going?â the person over the line asked in a very calm tone.
âQuill said he got it from a beggar. âBut itâs already been more than a year, so he doesnât remember the details very well.â Jason did not dare to cause offense, so lie reported the truth through his cell phone.
âWhat do you think?â the calm male voice over the phone asked again. âCommander, Quill might be a mischievous boy, but the Zimmer family wouldnât have the guts to try to deceive me.â Jason pondered for a few seconds before replying. The person at the other end of the line fell silent after sounding acknowledgment. âCommander, are you certain that this is really something from the army?â Jason felt extremely curious and could not help but ask. âHow could I be sure? âHow could I be sure about something that Iâve never seen with my own eyes?â The calm male voice over the phone now sounded mildly helpless, He was the commander, a status so honorable.
Even someone like Jason, who was in charge of managing the army, had to be polite with him. After all, he was still not a supreme soldier in the army. There were still some things that even he was not qualified to be involved in. âIâm just guessing that this thing may have something to do with someone from that year.
âI wonder if youâve heard about the turmoil of the Northwest army that happened two years ago?â
Upon hearing this, Jason could not help but frown. How could he not have heard of it? Two years ago, news had come from the Northwest army. The war that had ravaged the country had lasted for over a monthâintending to expand the countryâs land.
In that battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses and was left frightened. They were forced to retreat back to their line of defenseâ not daring to take the lead. The national prestige of the Dragon Kingdom was called into question, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken.
That battle was enough to go down in history.
At the time, a sudden turmoil broke out within the Northwest army. The Northwest army, which had always been strictly disciplined, suddenly seemed to be without a leader. The chaos was incomparable.
Even orders from above were blatantly disobeyed. Jason and the others who guarded the territory had no idea what had been going on. However, no one dared inquire about what happened despite their curiosity. âCommander, why have you suddenly mentioned this now? âCould this sword have anything to do with the turmoil of that year?â Jason frowned slightly and asked over the phone.
âIn the past, the Northwest army was commanded by Commander Lennon. âNow, it is led by Commander Luke.â The middleâaged man over the phone said those words with great weight to them.
Jason frowned and pondered for a few moments before asking, âCommander, I think I understand what you mean... âSo, do we serve under Commander Luke, or are we to answer to Commander Lennon?â
