85. What Do You Plan to Do, Colonel?
Before handing command over to Chester Bennett and Gago today, Kurt Hansen had solemnly promised his two subordinates: as long as they held out for the designated time, he would definitely bring them victory.
Chester Bennett and Gago did not doubt Hansen.
It was not because they were so loyal that they blindly trusted him, never questioning whether he might use the time limit as an excuse to abandon them and retreat alone. It was because they knew full well—Hansen was not someone who would flee in the face of battle.
Hansen had built the Hellhounds with his own hands and forged them into the army supporting his kingdom. To him, retreat and abandonment meant betraying every ideal he had built.
If he ran, the Hellhounds' soul would scatter with him, and that was more intolerable to him than any defeat.
Hansen was the King of Dogtown, and a king would rather die than flee!
If Hansen had wanted to run, to escape, to lay down his ambitions, he would have obediently followed orders and fled back during the Unification War. If he had wanted to abandon his ambitions, he would have surrendered long ago. Why wait until today?
Chester Bennett was Hansen's loyal subordinate, while Gago had come willingly to pledge himself to Hansen after seeing his ambition and potential.
If the two of them were placed in a dynasty, then without question, they would be the grand general and prime minister of the Hellhounds' kingdom. At a moment like this, what they were wagering was also the faith they had placed in Hansen, their king, all these years.
Three hours. No matter what happened, as long as they held out for three hours, Colonel Hansen would definitely bring them victory!
