Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1962

Facing Andrew at that moment, Leslie could not explain why, but she did not dare to make a single provoking remark.

Luna walked out, speaking in a flat tone. "Let's go. I've repaid Governor McCormick's favor."

Leslie snorted coldly. "General, look at him. He's clearly at his limit but still putting on a tough act."

Luna's expression remained indifferent. "Men are creatures with a foolish recklessness built into their very bones. Andrew is one of the worst examples of it. Let's see what he can do. This helpless rage might be the last thing keeping him standing."

Leslie sneered. She was about to add her own mocking comments, but her phone suddenly rang.

It was an encrypted military call.

Leslie did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at Luna. "General, it's from Colonel Saunders. Looks like something's going on."

Luna frowned. "It's not even wartime. What could Intelligence possibly have that's urgent? Answer it and find out."

According to military protocol, regular information could be communicated through direct contact. However, the highly classified Intelligence division only made direct calls in extreme emergencies, such as war or large-scale secret missions. Otherwise, it stayed completely dormant to ensure secrecy.

For Chester Saunders, the head of Intelligence, to reach out personally could only mean that something big had happened.

Leslie's expression grew serious as she answered the call. Before she could speak, the voice on the other end urgently demanded, "Is General Phelan there? I need to speak with her directly."

Leslie was stunned and quickly handed the phone to Luna.

Luna took it, her tone calm. "Speak."

Chester's tone was grim. "General, there's a high chance Blumedale is about to erupt into chaos. Based on our analysis, you should begin defensive measures immediately."

Luna let out a sharp laugh. "Defensive measures? Have you been drinking? What, is there a war breaking out? Or is the sky falling over Blumedale?"
