Salute To The General

After a two-kilometers chase, Nathan finally managed to slay Otto.

He proceeded to absorb the fresh blood of two elites, hastening the recovery of his injuries.

By that juncture, he had already regained approximately sixty to seventy percent of his combat prowess.

Given the current situation, as long as he did not come across extensive forces comprising Gods or the Curia or formidable figures like Morgon, he could reasonably assume he would not face imminent peril. Nonetheless, the path ahead was far from straightforward.

Mount Eoncrest extended for thousands of miles, traversing the domains of more than a dozen nations.

Additionally, Nathan had to exercise caution to elude the pursuit of both Gods and the Curia.

Nathan persisted in his distinct approach, preserving his energy while steadily advancing in a specific direction.

Abruptly, a rustling sound emanated from the front, suggesting the presence of someone or something in motion. Nathan swiftly concealed himself.

Immediately after, a five-person human combat squad appeared in his line of sight.

Much to Nathan's delight, this encounter proved to be not with a foe, but with his own subordinates.

This five-member combat squad belonged to the thirty thousand-strong North Army from Eurasia, dispatched into the primeval forest with the mission of searching for and rescuing Nathan.

Surprisingly, the one leading the team was Destroyer, who was holding a tracker in his hand.

Frustrated, he fiddled with the device, muttering, "D*mn it, this cursed place-can't even rely on the military satellite signal. It keeps cutting in and out. Only a moment ago, we had a clear fix on Chief Cross' whereabouts, but now we've lost track of him." Every garment Nathan wore, right down to each individual button, was outfitted with a tracking device.

Every three hours, the button would autonomously transmit a signal, enabling the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to roughly ascertain Nathan's position.

This precaution was in place to facilitate possible rescues by the military department should Nathan encounter any emergencies.

It was precisely by tracing these intermittent signals that Destroyer managed to navigate his way to this location.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

The small group of soldiers from Destroyer's ranks, recognizing the general's palpable anger and sense of urgency, refrained from speaking and refrained from trying to dissuade him.

Nathan calmly emerged from the shadows and flashed a grin as he remarked, "Isn't it quite typical for this seldom-visited primeval forest to have erratic satellite signals?"

Annoyed by the weak signal, Destroyer initially believed the comment had come from one of his own soldiers. Just as he was gearing up to unleash his frustration, he suddenly sensed that something was off.

In response, he swiftly raised his head toward the source of the voice and caught sight of Nathan, who was walking confidently and unhurriedly in his direction. "Chief Cross!" Destroyer was ecstatic.

The soldiers behind him were also thrilled to see him.

Nathan approached and delivered a hearty pat on Destroyer's shoulder, prompting a wide grin from the burly man, who bared his teeth in response.

Nathan laughed heartily and asked, "How did you guys get here? How many men did you bring over?"

Destroyer replied truthfully, "Chief

Cross, we received a distress

message from General Dunne.

Eve

Following an urgent meeting involving the Cabinet and the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor, we promptly dispatched General Fang along with thirty thousand troops from the North Army for the rescue operation. Mr. Lucas also conveyed that this is just the initial wave of rescue forces. If no updates are received, further reinforcements will be mobilized for the rescue mission."

Nathan admitted. "I misjudged the situation this time. I nearly walked into a trap orchestrated by the Curia in collaboration with the Gods. regret the concern and resources this incident has caused within the military."

"Your safety is our utmost concern. Everything else is secondary," Destroyer replied loudly. "Chief Cross, I'll immediately relay this good news to General Fang and his men and tell them to join us."

Nathan, however, shook his head.

"No. Don't! The Gods have dispatched a large number of elite warriors who have secretly arrived on Earth. This forest is swarming with their operatives. There are also quite a few Curia elites present if you summon Fang's forces to join me, it'll undoubtedly alert the Gods and the Curia. They'll quickly converge upon us once they hear the news. We must be prepared to engage in a fierce battle with the Gods and the Curia's elites here in this forest."
