Paige looked at the regiment commanders, and she recognized one of them. She held Serena's hand and told her, "Come with me, Serena. I know one of the commanders, Kevin Leonard. We can ask him what's going on." Paige looked at the regiment commanders, and she recognized one of them. She held Serena's hand and told her, "Come with me, Serena. I know one of the commanders, Kevin Leonard. We can ask him what's going on."
Serena tucked her dagger away and went to the soldiers with Paige.
"Hello, Captain Leonard." Paige went ahead and saluted him. "Thanks for saving our skin."
Kevin waved her down. "It's nothing, Major Tanner. Just doing my job." He pointed at the guy beside him. "This is regiment commander Vernon Simpson from Diosna's military district."
Another regiment commander? Serena was surprised. A regiment commander is already a high official, and two of them at once? And from different military districts too. Only a provincial military official can mobilize them. Serena asked, "Pardon me, but how did you know we were in danger? How did you manage to come in time?"
"Yeah, Captain Leonard!" Paige was curious too. "I saw Solaris Military District's attack aircraft. Did General Ignatov do this?"
Kevin shook his head. "No. We're doing this on Ares' orders."
"A-Ares?"
Paige and Serena were shaken to their cores. Paige's eyes were shining brightly as she asked, "How did he know we were in danger? Did he send you guys just to save me?"
"Um…" Kevin froze. He recalled what the general told him, and he nodded. "Ares knew you were in danger and demanded that we came to your rescue. As for why he knew you were in danger, that's not something I know the answer to."
"Ohmigosh! He actually sent these troops just to save me!" Paige covered her mouth in excitement. She had a look of bliss on her face. "Hey, does he like me? Maybe he's been keeping an eye on me for a long time now. That's probably why the troops came in time."
Paige was fangirling, and the regiment commanders exchanged looks. They felt like laughing, but they held it in and only smiled. Let the girl have her fun.
"Serena, you think so too, don't you?" Paige's face was red, and she swung Serena's arm. "That must be why he sent the troops here."
"Of course. You're the prettiest major of Qustia. I think it's possible that Ares likes you." Serena smiled. "Thanks to you and Ares, I'm saved." Serena thought that Paige's inference was right, since she had no idea why Ares would save them otherwise. She bowed at the commanders. "Thanks for saving us, commanders. If it's possible, can I deal with these men myself?"
She looked at the men who were groveling on the ground, but there was only anger in her eyes. She almost died just now. She almost had to say goodbye to Kingsley. The thought of that lit a fire of murder
in her eyes.
Kevin saw the look in Serena's eyes, and he knew what she wanted to do. "You can do whatever you want to them, Miss Langley. We'll stay out of this."
"Thank you, commanders." Serena nodded and held her dagger with her right hand. She slowly approached Pierre and his men.
At the same time, Kevin waved his hand and told his soldiers, "Go and make sure Miss Langley isn't hurt."
"Yes, Captain!" his soldiers roared, and a troop of special forces armed with ArmaLite AR-10 Supersass followed Serena.
Vernon wanted to flex his troops as well. He said, "Men, make sure Miss Langley stays safe."
