Xie Kai was somewhat displeased.
The Teleportation Array at Beach Stone had always been his defensive sector; even this time, he had left half a Mixed Battalion stationed here. No matter what, he was still the officer-in-charge, and now he couldn't even get into his own defensive sector.
The garrison soldiers from Hai Xia standing before him didn't give him any face at all, keeping stony expressions and insisting he wait outside the sector. Only someone inside with the official token could let him in.
Humiliating!
The Deputy General of the garrison, Wu Kai, was someone Xie Kai had met before—a fierce-looking man who had recently bought pills from him. He seemed like an easygoing fellow. Xie Kai had asked around among the Hai Xia people and heard that Wu Kai had offended an Assistant General and had been stuck here in Hai Xia doing nothing for years, a marginalized figure nobody liked. If not for this recent military movement, he'd still be rotting in some corner.
