Salute To The General

Within the vastness of Mount Eoncrest, as boundless as the sea, Nathan, weary to the bone, dragged his injured body through the primeval forest. He couldn't walk fast.

The primeval forest was inherently fraught with danger. Additionally, numerous Gods and elites from the Curia were threading through the forest, hunting him down.

If he was not careful, he might pay the price with his life.

After walking for several hours, Nathan grew tired. He found a towering tree and sat down beneath it. He took out the dry rations and clean water he had scavenged from the Curia elites like Cassius and began to eat slowly. The dried food was dried venison, which was quite chewy to eat, but it could be tiring.

The only advantage was that it was a filling food.

Suddenly, Nathan's ears picked up a faint, almost imperceptible, unusual sound.

Although the noise was faint, it was distinct from the natural sounds of the forest. It seemed like someone was carefully stepping on the leaves, inadvertently snapping a small, dry twig on the ground, causing a slightly unusual sound. Nathan continued to eat, his head lowered, but he casually said, "Since you're here, there's no need to sneak around."

The surroundings fell silent for two seconds before two individuals emerged from the shadows.

These two individuals, one tall and thin, the other robust and strong, were clad in the Curia's Light Holy Armor.

Both of them were the Curia's War Gods of the Light, Otto, and Lukas.

These two individuals had several encounters with Nathan in the past.

Every time Nathan visited the Vatican to meet with Eugene IV, he would always see these two individuals standing by Eugene IV's side.

Seeing them appear here, Nathan wasn't surprised at all.

Right then, Otto and Lukas were still unaware that the collusion between the Curia and the Gods to frame Nathan had been exposed.

At this moment, they were still hoping to deceive Nathan.

With a feigned surprise, Otto exclaimed, "Aha, Mr. Cross, it really is you! I'm so glad to see you're alright."

Lukas feigned excitement as he said, "Indeed, Mr. Cross, after your incident, Pope Eugene was so worried. He sent quite a few people to inquire about your whereabouts!"

"Mr. Cross, are you alright? How bad are your injuries?"

With faces full of enthusiasm, the two approached, beating around the bush, trying to figure out Nathan's current situation.

They were particularly curious about Nathan's condition. Was it really as dire as Morgon from the Gods described, with Nathan barely hanging on, teetering on the brink of death?

While slicing pieces of venison with his Snowsphere, Nathan said nonchalantly, "Hehe, I didn't expect Pope Eugene to care so much about whether I live or die. I really should thank him!"

Otto was oblivious to the fact that

Nathan was mocking him. He chuckled along and said, "Mr. Cross, you are the commander-in-chief of our Earth Alliance. Your safety is tied to the fate of the entire earth, to all of humanity. Moreover, you are a good friend of the Curia, and Pope Eugene is deeply concerned about your situation."

Lukas stared intently at Nathan, cautiously asking, "By the way, Mr. Cross, when we were on our waynovelbin

here, we heard quite a few rumors t

Some people said that you had a fierce battle with elites from the Gods and suffered severe injuries, and that your life was in danger. Is this really true? Are you okay now? If not, should we quickly take you to get medical help?"

A subtle sneer flashed across Nathan's eyes.

He lifted his head, looking at the two War Gods of the Light before him with a smirk. In a mocking tone, he asked, "Do I look like I'm injured?"

Otto and Lukas were both stunned.

The two were filled with uncertainty, scrutinizing Nathan closely.

Nathan was seen sitting on the ground the whole time, leisurely eating his food. Even when they arrived, he didn't stand up.

For a moment, they couldn't determine whether Nathan was seriously injured or if he was unharmed.

However, in their casual exploration, they stumbled upon an astonishing discovery.

In Nathan's hand was a bag filled with deer skins and, beside him, a water pouch. Both were clearly marked with the symbol of the Curia, unmistakably standard issue equipment of the Curia. How did Nathan end up with the food and water bag of warriors from the Curia?

The elites from the Curia were all ordered to enter the vast mountain range to hunt down Nathan.

Naturally, no one would offer food and water to Nathan.

The only explanation could be that before this, an elite from the Curia had already encountered Nathan, and these elites wanted to make a move on Nathan.

What a pity that in the end, they were counter-killed by Nathan.

Naturally, the task of handling food and water fell into Nathan's hands.

This discovery completely changed the expressions on Otto and Lukas' faces.

Naturally, Nathan observed the changes in both their expressions.

With a seemingly amused

expression, he asked, "Well, are you shocked? Are you scared? Exactly,. this food and water were obtained from your companions. I don't want to waste any more words with you, nor do I deem it worth my while to kill insignificant foes like you. Get lost quickly, and tell Pope Eugene to await his demise."

Upon hearing Nathan's words, Otto and Lukas couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
