Andre went to meet the General called Hagel. Gao Yang didn't know what exactly Hagel's position was or how influential he was, but it was certain that Hagel was very powerful. He used to belong to Grand Ivan's group, but now, it seemed he intended to play both sides.
Once Gao Yang really went all out, he disrupted Hagel's possibility of playing both sides.
Taking out Djo Malthael's son and Struge not only severed Djo Malthael's reach into Ukraine but more importantly, it forcibly pulled back the Ukrainian local forces that were initially with Grand Ivan but now inclined to side with Djo Malthael.
When Ban Chao was on a mission to Shanshan, he directly killed the Xiongnu envoy with thirty-six attendants, completely cutting off the possibility of Shanshan siding with the Xiongnu. What Gao Yang did had quite the legacy of Ban Chao.
But while Andre felt satisfied, Gao Yang didn't. Offending Djo Malthael thoroughly meant now he must think of how to evade Djo Malthael's revenge.
