Chapter 797 Dax Wants a War

“Well, we'll talk about this some other time. I'm being kept under guard here, so | can't go anywhere," Macy said in a melancholic tone.

"I'll do whatever | can to find a way to get you out, Godma. Even if | can't do that yet, | won't let anyone mistreat you either," Mort declared.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As the car drew nearer to Massey Residence, Sherry began to feel nervous. She never thought she would return to the Massey family someday.

Everything that happened over two decades ago flashed before her eyes. She recalled the young Logan who had been madly in love with her.

In a blink of an eye, over 20 years had passed.

Sherry no longer resented Logan.

The closer the car got to Massey Residence, the more anxious Sherry became.

Soon, the car stopped before a receiving crowd, and everyone stepped forward.

Logan approached Sherry and stared at her longingly.

"You're finally back, Sherry," Logan said with a smile. His joyous expression made her even more emotional. "Yeah," Sherry said with a nod.

Just then, the guards at the entrance set off some poppers to welcome her.

As the colorful confetti filled the air, Sherry was reminded of the day she married Logan.

Feeling emotional, she began to tear up.

"| didn't expect Mr. Massey to put in so much effort, Mom,” Willow remarked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Massey, let's head inside and enjoy the feast that has been prepared," Denzel said.

"That's right. The journey to Dhord City must've tired you out, Sherry. Let's head inside so that you can get some rest," Logan said as he took Sherry by the hand.

Blushing, Sherry tried to pull away from him to no avail. He held her hand extremely tightly.

Jerry had a clouded look on his face as he sat on the couch in Balthazar's bedroom. He was watching the news on the television, and the current segment involved Byron.

"It's beyond reprehensible that Diatoran has resorted to dirty trickery. While pretending to be involved in peace negotiations with us, they sent assassins to kill me. Filren will not stand for such behavior, and we will hold Diatoran accountable," Byron declared in fury.

Then, he gave an order, and over a dozen members of the Three Poisons Hall were executed by gunfire.

"We Filrenians have always stood for freedom and peace. Even when Diatoran attacked us, we focused on defending our territory without laying siege to their country. We thought we could form a peace treaty between the two nations.

“Alas, who would've thought that the Diatoranians would go this far? If we don't declare war on them, we'll be the mockery of the world!" Byron declared.

His words ignited a fire in the hearts of Filren's senior politicians who stood behind him.

"| hereby announce that I'm giving Diatoran 72 hours! If they're willing to settle things peacefully, they'll need to give us three cities and 40 trillion in compensation! Otherwise, once time is up, we'll invade their country!" Byron announced.

He waved his hand, and a screen appeared with a countdown.

Jerry turned off the television in frustration.

Just then, the phone rang, and he picked it up at once.

"This is Joseph Welch. | have urgent news to report to His Majesty!" Joseph's voice rang out.

"Oh, it's you, Champion Welch. His Majesty has been feeling unwell, and he's currently asleep. This is Jerry Andrews, his trusted advisor speaking. You can tell me what's going on, and I'll pass on the message to His Majesty," Jerry said.

Jerry remained courteous whenever he dealt with the four Champions. After all, they were military commanders, and he didn't want to ruin his relationship with them.

"| apologize, Mr. Andrews, but this is a critical matter. | must report it to His Majesty." Even though Joseph was unaware that Jerry had used a spell to control Balthazar, he didn't think highly of Jerry either.

Despite feeling displeased, Jerry dared not make any comments. He couldn't afford to offend the four other War Gods, apart from Caspian—not until he reclaimed command over the military from them first.

"Well, you'll just have to wait then, Champion Welch," Jerry said before ending the call. Soon, the three other War Gods called as well. Keith and Benjamin specifically said they wanted to report to Balthazar directly. The last call was from Dax, who was stationed at West Aridlands.

Jerry was terrified when he heard what Dax said.

"The King of Filren has pissed me off! They're the ones who lost the battle! How dare a b ch of tobérs fate hat appgant attitude with us? I've dispatched 500 thousand soldiers to the border of West Aridlands. Please read the original content at .

"If the Filrenians make even a single move against us, I'll immediately launch an assault on them!" Dax growled in anger.

"Don't do anything reckless, Champion Santos! His Majesty is currently resting. Once he wakes up, I'll report this to him and let him give the command.

"If we go to war, it won't be as simple as a war between us and the Filrenians. The other countries won't stand by and do nothing," Jerry hastened to say.

"So what? When we have feared anyone? Diatoran has survived an attack from all fronts before, and we defeated them all, didn't we?" Dax declared matter-of-factly.

"What's the meaning of this, Champion Santos? Are you goin disobey His M lesfy(seot ers? Jerry spapaadl Me was deathly afraid that Dax would launch an assault on the Filrenians, which would certainly infuriate Byron. Please read the original content at .

"| haven't even spoken to His Majesty yet, Mr. Andrews, so how am | disobeying his orders?" Dax retorted. He didn't like Jerry either.

"His Majesty hasn't given the order yet. If you dispatch the soldiers without his permission) itl be Ol ideregcan advo! fetal against hth and the nation! Calm down, Champion Santos. I'll get His Majesty to take your call," Jerry said before setting the phone receiver down. Please read the original content at .

He hurried over to Balthazar's bed. After much hesitation, he decided to wake Balthazar. He didn't know if Balthazar was still under his command, but he had to take his chances.

Jerry began muttering quietly. He didn't know that the Balthazar he was seeing was, in fact, Caspian in disguise.

“Wake up! Hurry up and wake up!" Jerry mumbled almost soundlessly.

Alas, Balthazar simply flipped over without showing any signs of waking.

Jerry was flustered. In the past, whenever he used the incantation, Balthazar would do as he said. However, that was no longer working.

Meanwhile, Caspian was exasperated. Was Jerry daft?

Why didn't Jerry come right out and say what he wanted? Why was he mouthing the words in near silence instead?
