Zander had once served in the army and had later been appointed as the principal of the National Military School, so he held a different perspective from Vincci.
Maitho, a master of the Thousand Martial Sect, went along with Zander as he supported his point, "Madam Mok, the conflicts between the Martial Arts Alliance, the Martial Arts Committee and the Combat Readiness Committee are between our people. The problem now is that we're currently at war. If we're the slightest bit careless right now, our country will face destruction within seconds. I hope you can get your priorities straight." "You..." Vincci's face fell, noticing how Maitho and Zander rebuked her opinions in her face.
Sensing that the three of them were about to break into a fight, Yose spoke up and interrupted them, "That's enough!"
"Let's not get off topic! The most important thing now is to know what we're going to do with Lundie and Kohen?"
The place quietened down.
Maitho was the first to break the silence. "Since the voice in the recording is indeed Khalil's, this proves that he has betrayed the army. If that's the case, regardless of whether he died in bundle's hands or not, I personally feel that Lundie did not commit a crime."
Maitho defended Lundie. Vincci's face darkened at his words.
She wanted to retort but was at a loss as to what she should say.
On one hand, Zander continued, "Lundie isn't the main problem right now. Kohen is. If what Lundie said is true, Kohen..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, but everyone in the tent understood what he was trying to imply.
Kohen had accused Lundie of killing Khalil, but it no longer mattered whether it was true or not.
Lundie, on the other hand, accused Kohen of cooperating with the vicious beasts and deliberately summoned them to attack Yandover City, which was an accusation that should never be underestimated.
If that was the case, Kohen and the entire Dragon Force would probably be greatly affected.
At present, the entire army couldn't bear such disruption, especially in the midst of such a huge war.
Everyone present had their brows furrowed into deep frowns. No one could come up with a solution. Just as the entire place was silent, someone slipped into the tent with a light swoosh.
The few of them were shocked as they instinctively jolted and got to their feet, all on high alert.
They were all stunned the moment they saw the newcomer's face.
"Mr. Long!"
"Mr. Long, what brings you here?"
"Please take a seat!"
The newcomer was none other than Maxi Long, the president of the Martial Arts Alliance and the most renowned person in the country.
Maxi had been cultivating in seclusion during that period. He delegated almost all the major affairs to his men while he was away. He did not even participate in the war at the border.
No one had expected him to personally arrive at the tent right then.
Yose stood up and invited Maxi to take the main seat, then proceeded to respectfully ask, "Mr. Long, what brings you here?"
Maxi waved a dismissive hand and announced, "I learned about what happened between Kohen and Lundie. I'm here for this!" Everyone present was once again dumbstruck.
Maxi demanded, "I want to know more details about it. What exactly happened?"
They then briefed him on the details of the incident.
Once they were done, their eyes turned to him and they inquired, "Mr. Long, how should we handle this matter?"
Maxi did not reply at once and was deep in thought. After nearly a minute, he raised his head and said, "If you guys are sure that Khalil betrayed us, it means that Lundie is innocent. We should release him!"
Hearing that, Maitho and Zander exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.
Vincci's expression revealed drastic changes as a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. She, however, remained silent and dared not oppose Maxi's decision.
Maxi continued, "As for Kohen, all we have is Lundies deposition. Since we do not have any other pieces of evidence to support his idea, we can't convict him at will. Hence, well have to let him go as well!"
"What?!"
Maitho and Zander were flabbergasted the moment they heard Maxi's words.
Zander went from feeling relieved to feeling utterly dumbstruck. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to say, gritting his teeth, "Mr. Long, the matter-concerning Kohen is of great importance. I think we must carry out a thorough investigation at once! Otherwise, it may cause irreparable consequences."
Maitho nodded and went along with him, "He's alleged to have colluded with the vicious beasts and summoned them to attack Yandover City. This is a matter not to be taken lightly. We have to investigate!"
Hearing their words, Maxi frowned, an annoyed glint flashing past his eyes. A few seconds later, however, he regained his composure.
Yose, as sensitive as usual, noticed the subtle changes as he instantly chimed in to say, "Mr. Li, Mr. Cang, your worries are reasonable, but Mr. Long's words make more sense The Martial Arts Alliance is a law-abiding organization. Since there isn't any conclusive evidence, we cannot punish him based on our mere conjecture."
"But..." Zander and Maitho attempted to express their concern.
Yose immediately cut them off, "If we follow what you've suggested and detain Kohen, how are you going to explain everything to members of the Dragon Force? How are we going to continue on with our war against the Joint Army?"
With that, Zander and Maitho were at a loss for words.
They had a good idea of how they were at a disadvantage in all aspects of the battle.
The situation was stabilized thanks
to the Dragon Force, which was led by Kohen. They managed to win in succession all because of him, resulting in a tie. If it hadn't been him, they would have been defeated
for
long ago. Vincci had long been trying to find an opportunity to retort to Zander and Maitho. Seeing that, she seized the opportunity to mock, "Mr. Li and Mr. Lang, you two seem to trust Lundies words more than Mr. Long's."
"You..." Both of them frowned.
Maxi slammed against the table and stopped them in time, "I'm not here to listen to all of you arguing. Just do as I say. If anyone has different opinions, well find another chance to discuss it."
He made the final decision. The others dared not say anything as they got up to leave.
Soon, Lundie and Kohen were released. They went their separate ways.
Khalil's death inevitably caused a heated discussion.
Team 5 and all the soldiers of the Dragon Force were purple with fury. They demanded that the headquarters severely punish Lundie and avenge Khalil.
As for the Combat Readiness Committee, they were equally furious after receiving the news. They demanded to release the news of Khalil's betrayal and for Team 5 to apologize for the death of hundreds of members of the Combat Readiness Committee.
Although all the other teams did not voice out their opinions, they felt ill at ease by the chaos in the army. The morale among members of the army was at an all-time low.
Leaving him no choice, Yose stepped into the tent of the headquarters for a private conversation with Maxi.
Yose went straight to the point by asking, "Mr. Long, Lundie is very likely to have witnessed something. Will anything go wrong on Kohen's side?"
