I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 328

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."

"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."
