Boom!
Eleanor was furious after hearing what Darnic said.
“Darnic, you’re really the most shameless, useless, and unmanly Flying Eagles I’ve ever met. And you’re even their commander! What else do you know other than abusing your power? You’re actually blaming all of this on Jade? Don’t you have any shame in saying this?”
“Not to mention Jade’s been missing for an entire week. How would she get to know these shitty plans of yours? You just want to find someone to blame. As commander, you can’t even get into the ancient boundary. Now, you want to lead the war? Are you stupid?”
Deeply embarrassed, Darnic directed his anger towards Eleanor.
“Eleanor Curtis! I am the commander of the Flying Eagles!” he yelled. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want to get fired?”
Eleanor sneered. “I quit then. You really think I like this job? America will come to an end thanks to your sort of trash.”
When Eleanor was done berating, she grabbed her identity token, slammed it onto the table, and turned to leave.
“Hold on!” shouted Darnic.
“What?” Eleanor answered.
Darnic’s expression was dark and cold now. “Eleanor. So you’re Jade’s best friend, aren’t you? Jade went missing a week ago, so of course, she didn’t know the plans of the Flying Eagles. However, you, the counselor, could ‘ve easily known about our strategies, so…”
Not waiting for him to finish, Eleanor’s chest puffed out in anger. “So, you think I told Jade? And jade told the demon tribe?!”
“Isn’t that it?”
“Hahaha! ” Eleanor scoffed in disbelief. “Darnic, who do you think I am? What kind of person do you see Jade as? You’re just a maggot compared to her. You don’t even deserve to be in her presence. You make me sick!”
Now furious, Darnic bellowed, “Someone come over! Eleanor is a traitor of the Flying Eagles! She and Jade have colluded with the demon tribe! They should be sentenced to death. Capture her, and if she dares fight back, kill her!”
He cried, “If it weren’t for you and Commander Benmore, Eleanor, I would’ve been dead for a long time. Hahaha! When Commander Benmore was chased away, I wanted to leave too. But I stayed back for you. Who wants to take care of this fool? I quit too! I’ll follow you wherever you go from now.”
The others threw their tokens down as well, shouting. “I quit! The current Flying Eagles treats us like we are not humans! Commander Benmore was such a good person. He fought for many years for the people of the golden era. How did she end up? She’s now called a b*tch! Is there still justice in this world?”
“Let’s leave! We won’t tolerate this anymore!”
The soldiers of the Flying Eagles had faith in their hearts, and that faith was in jade. Many clearly knew that Jade had been forced away, but their military counselor was still here. Considering Eleanor was closest to Jade, everyone hoped for Jade’s
comeback, but…
To their surprise, the officials issued a warrant for Jade to be arrested. That was the last straw for the soldiers. Only those who’ve been to the ancient boundary could truly understand war’s savagery and how Jade’s bravery became the mental support for countless soldiers.
She was like the Goddess of War. As long as she was there, the soldiers would have the will to fight on, and victory would always be on the Flying Eagles’ side.
