Chapter 259, Why Does Your Majesty Plot a Rebellion?

Perbov gazed at the city before him, his expression serene.

Leroy approached his side.

Perbov turned to look at his old partner, whose one ear was wrapped in bandages that were still seeping blood.

The ear of his political commissar, Colonel Leroy, would be deaf forever.

Yet, Leroy himself didn't seem to mind it, his face still wearing a smile.

He turned to Perbov and asked, "What's wrong with you? You've just been promoted, yet you look so grim?"

He was referring to Perbov being confirmed once again as the Commander of the Alliance Expeditionary Force. Although the governor had come in person, he had not interfered with military command, which was still entrusted to Perbov.

Moreover, although his military rank hadn't changed yet, the governor had made it clear that once they returned, he would be promoted to the formal rank of Major General.

Logically, this was a joyous event; Perbov had long coveted the title of general.
