Chapter 570 - Negotiation (1) (2/2)
As the search parties didn't give a good result, the situation at the stop area tensed. The Sparrow Family's representative kept on cursing and mocking the commander. He also even reported it to the Regalia's military to have the commander fired and executed.
However, the Regalia's military rejected the Sparrow Family's appeal as they had deemed the commander had quite big contributions. The military said that they would not fire or execute the commander unless it was a royal family command.
Of course, it was not easy to request to the royal family. As a noble's family, if they ask something from the royal family, then it would be the same as they owed a favor to the royal family. Moreover, just like what the military had said, the commander had quite a significant contribution to Regalia. Furthermore, the other faction inside the Sparrow Family that didn't like the captured man prevented this. An internal struggle was inevitable inside the Sparrow Family.
The commander was so furious. When the man from the Sparrow Family had safely returned back to the stop area the last time, the commander had implicitly ordered him to return back to his family in Regalia. However, contrary to the commander's wish, the man didn't return back. Instead, he asked the Sparrow Family to leave and ask for more reinforcements from the family. He wanted to take revenge.
The man also asked for several elites to be left here. Of course, preparing for reinforcements from the family was not easy. Moreover, there were other factions inside the family that prevented this from happening.
When the commander sent out harassed parties, the man had requested to be one of them. However, the commander rejected it flatly. The man from the Sparrow Family didn't give up and asked several times more. Unfortunately, the commander was firm with his decision and rejected it flatly.
After several rejections, the man didn't request the commander. The latter had thought that the man had known his positions. Because of this, he could focus more on the upcoming battle. However, who could have known, the troublemaker, right now, was in the hand of the enemies and used as a human shield.
The commander was torn by the decision. He wanted to give an attack order. However, he knew the repercussion of the act.
If the commander tried to save the man, he also knew that Gaia's side would not let go of this opportunity to extort Regalia to the fullest. And, the repercussion of this choice could result in the loss of the stop area.
The commander got a headache because of this one person. While the commander was pondering which decision he should make, Smite had already walked halfway towards the stop area.
In Smite's hand, the man from the Sparrow Family cried non-stop. Meanwhile, the other soldiers at the stop area were waiting for the commander's decision.
When the commander was still in deep thought, the gate in the stop area opened. Two people departed from the stop area and charged towards Smite. The commander cursed, ”This damned noble family!”
When Smite saw this, he immediately raised his weapon towards the man's head.
