Salute To The General

Chapter 3132



Overnight, Nathan summoned the Cab members and those from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to hold an emergency meeting. They were busy discussing how to handle the aftermath and compensate the soldiers' families when Eugene IV's call arrived.

He called to inform Nathan that all bishops and Holy Knights from the Curia had been dispatched to fight against the vampires. Nevertheless, things were still going downhill.

Nathan had experience killing a vampire prince and vampire earls, so Eugene IV hoped he could step out to fight the vampires. Eugene IV even used an ancient Eurasia proverb to persuade Nathan to take action.

"If you don't take action, Mr. Cross, what will happen to the people? When a bird's nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. If the vampires gain control of most of Adrune and continue to grow stronger, they will soon march on to conquer Aploth," Eugene IV warned. "Please take action now, Mr. Cross!"

Nathan held his phone and fell silent for a long while. "Eurasia's Peacekeeping Forces were also killed by the vampires. I'm still mourning their deaths, so please give me some time to consider your request," he said.

With that, he ended the call.

Zion spoke up. "Dozens of countries on good terms with us in Adrune called and asked us to provide reinforcements. It looks like the vampire outbreak is a global disaster."

Zach nodded. “As a powerful country, we cannot stand idly by while humans are threatened. However, I don't believe that President Cross needs to personally go there and risk his life."

Lucas agreed, "Yes. We have plenty of capable soldiers. President Cross, you cannot risk your life. This time, I shall lead an army to fight the vampires in Adrune!"

"Let me take the lead for once," Elijah cut in. "You've always been in the spotlight, so it's my turn to shine now. I'll be the one to bring my troops to Adrune."

Fang's eyes turned as wide as saucers. "What are you talking about? Battles are my thing. I should be the one heading there."

When everyone was involved in a heated argument, Nathan hollered, "Quiet!"

Hearing that, everyone fell silent and turned to look at Nathan.

Everyone was aware that he held both the positions of the President and the Chief Military Governor, so they were obliged to follow his directives.

Nathan's mind was consumed by the horrific images of the Tarragon Forces' defeat. The memories of Hanson's departing speech played on repeat in his mind.From NôvelDrama.Org.

"President Cross, our comrades suffered a terrible demise, yet their spirits still linger in the ancient ruins of Musbane. If you ever have the chance to visit this sacred place, you will feel the howling winds. Know that our fallen comrades are there to greet you."

"I take full responsibility for the

deaths of the two thousand warriors

and Hanson as I was the one who sent them to Musbane. While I

understand that there are always et

risks involved in every military operation, the loss of an entire army is a devastating blow. I am still grieving their deaths and feel that it is my duty to avenge them and bring their bodies home. As such, I have made the decision to personally head to Musbane."

Everyone gaped in shock and immediately tried to persuade him to change his mind.

Nathan raised an arm to stop them. "I know I'm the President, but don't forget that I'm still Eurasia's God of War," he reminded them firmly. "Just because old this position, it

et

doesn't mean I'm done fighting. I've faced off against elite vampires more times than I can count, and I've even taken down a vampire prince. I have more experience than any of you. And from both a professional and personal

standpoint, I'm the most suitable candidate to lead our troops and

help Adrune defeat the vampires."

Zach and the rest cried out, "President Cross!"

Nathan turned to Zion, Zach, and the rest. "Your responsibility is to guard our homeland and keep the vampires at bay."

Zion blurted out, "But-"

"No buts," Nathan said firmly. "I've made up my mind. No amount of convincing can change my mind. I'll select a team of elites to follow me to Adrune. Quality matters more than quantity this time. Those who are interested can volunteer I'll make my selection carefully."
