Chapter 452 Stepping Forward on the Medals âThud!â
The blue medal fell to the ground.
All the Watchmen were stunned. They looked at the package in Geraldâs hand, which was full of medals. Like Gerald, they were members of Night Watch, and they all knew what these medals meant.
Obtaining a medal of merit was very difficult, even if it was a thirdâclass merit medal!
However, in addition to that thirdâclass medal, there were many medals inside Geraldâs package, all of which were of higher rank.
Among them, there were firstâclass merit medals, special merit medals, and the Medal of Star Glory that Gerald was awarded!
Until then, they realized that the young man standing in front of them was also a hero of Night Watch.
He had lost countless blood for Night Watch. He had used Death Storm and placed himself in a dangerous situation several times.
He was a hero of Night Watch!
I April frowned deeply. Gerald was close to the gate. He took out the second medal.
âThis medal was awarded to me in Asia. In that battle, I led the team to kill three Red Card Assassins, got the secondâclass merit citation, and won the purple secondâclass merit medal!â
âThud!â
After saying that, Gerald threw the medal on the ground.
Then he walked to Aprilâs side.
April was holding a long saber in her hand. She frowned because none of the men with sabers did anything at this moment.
April let out a bitter laugh.
She then placed the saber on the ground and made way for Gerald.
Immediately after that, Gerald led his team through the gate and officially stepped into the base of the United Army.
There were many monitors inside a tall building in the headquarters of the United Army.
And there were many people standing in front of the monitors, including Leonardo, a few managing directors, and Billy!
The director of European Night Watch frowned and said, âWhat is April doing? Why did she let him in? Carl, I know the South Australian Night Watch has always had a good relationship with the American Night Watch. But what are you guys doing? Are you trying to fawn on the American Watchmen now?â
Hearing this, a strong man raised his eyebrows. He looked up at the director of European Night Watch and said, âYouâd better watch your mouth. Do you want to fight?â
Billy was lying on a sofa and watching the show. Suddenly, he frowned.
âWhatâs wrong with these people?â The others also realized that something was wrong. Because the first level of alarm was turned on, all the Watchmen in the headquarters of the United Army had gone out. There were nearly 2,000 Watchmen here, and there were many Watchmen in the streets and on the roofs of the buildings.
Apart from the American Watchmen, everyone else had gone out.
But at this moment, no one made a move against Gerald.
Wherever Gerald passed, the Watchmen all put down their sabers or put their sabers into the sheaths.
âHe is...â When Billy saw Geraldâs actions, his expression suddenly changed, and he sat up violently from his seat.
âIt seems that he is really sad,â the old man, beside Billy, sighed slightly.
âItâs all your fault! Fuck!â Billy cursed.
At this moment, there were many people in this place where the surveillance videos could be seen, but they fell into a short silence.
Only the director of European Night Watch said loudly, âTell them to take action. If it goes on like this, Gerald and his team may come directly towards us.â
Leonardo frowned. He did not want to say anything, but when he thought of what Perrin said before, he gritted his teeth, pressed a button, and then said into the microphone, âAttention to everyone, surround Gerald and kill him!â
Leonardoâs voice echoed throughout the town.
When Gerald heard it, the look in his eyes grew colder.
He took out a purple medal and muttered, âThis medal was obtained in the North. I was 20 years old that year...
âThis medal was also obtained in the North when I was 20 years old...â
Every time Gerald took out a medal, he described the origin of the medal.
His merit medals made almost all the Watchmenâs throats a little dry.
On the top of a mountain fat away, Valery was looking through the binoculars, and so was Claude. Both of their gazes were somewhat heavy.
To pave the way with medals!
Gerald was paving the way for himself to move forward with all the medals he had won in Night Watch!
When he finished this journey, he would leave all his glory behind. It meant that Gerald seemed to intend to withdraw from Night Watch.
âHe is heartbroken!â Valery sighed.
âIf they had done this to me, I would have been sad too!â Claude said. âOur partner was killed by Perrin, but instead of admitting his guilt, Perrin took Gerald to the United Armyâs court. Then, without evidence, the United Army voted to expel Gerald from Night Watch. Blaine knew the truth, but he didnât try his best to defend Gerald!â
Valery frowned and said, âWe all know what Blaine thinks of Gerald. He didnât help Gerald from being expelled, probably because he had something to fear. If Blaine had tried his best at that time, it might have confirmed Perrinâs claim that American Night Watch wanted to be dominant. Thatâs not what Blaine wants to see.â
Claude curled his lips and said, âI didnât expect that these people would be so afraid of such fabricated words. In this case, there is no need for us to fight together with them anymore. Itâs better for us to leave. In the future, we can find a place and gather all our family members together. Although we canât protect other people, itâs no problem to protect our relatives and friends. And we have a lot of industries now. Thatâs enough for us to live on.â
Hearing what Claude said, Valery frowned slightly and didnât say anything else!
At the same time, in a tall building, Billy looked at Leonardo intently. He was angry at first, and then he showed a relieved smile. He spread his hands and said with a slight smile, âYou want to know what Gerald is doing, right? He is paving the way with medals. Look at the medals in his package. Those are the ones he has obtained in Night Watch over the past six years. Since he became Watchman No. O in the third year after joining Night Watch, he has participated in almost all largeâscale missions around the world. But you voted to expel him and issued the Blood Order to him. The medals he has won are something you will never have in your lifetime!â
Billy gritted his teeth and continued, âNow, Gerald is paving the way with medals, and he will leave all his glory behind. It means he has been completely disappointed in you. And it also means he may leave Night Watch from today on!â
The building fell into silence once again!
After a moment, Leonardo gritted his teeth and said, âGerald killed the family members of a hero. He deserves to die. The merit cannot offset the demerit!â
After that, Leonardo spoke into the microphone again, âWhat are you doing? I now order all the Watchmen in the headquarters to surround Gerald and kill him! Hurry up!â
However, no one moved!
Everyone was compassionate. Seeing that Gerald placed the medals one by one on the ground and led his team to step forward on the medals, all the people were silent.
They slowly lowered their raised sabers. Some of those who had worked with Gerald bowed their heads, and there were tears in their eyes.
In such a case, Gerald passed through the long road, and the medals kept falling!
Blue, purple, gold...
Every time Gerald walked a distance, a medal lay on the ground, shining brightly!
The medals, showing the honor of Watchmen, were spread all the way at this time. It was touching.
Unknowingly, Gerald had approached that tall building. At this moment, the package was gone, and there were only two medals left in his hand. He froze for a moment and then pinned the medals on his chest!
One of the two medals was so bright that it shone like the stars in the sky!
It was the Medal of Star Glory, representing the highest honor of the Watchmen.
Since the founding of Night Watch, only three people had been awarded this medal!
The first one was won by Perrin!
The second one was won by Blaine!
And the third one was won by Gerald.
