Salute To The General

Nathan and the others were dumbfounded.

Shadowbeard took a few steps ahead, noticing that Nathan and the others hadn't caught up. He widened his eyes in urgency. "Hurry up, what are you all standing around for? This place is dangerous. Don't you care about your lives?" Destroyer and the others exchanged glances before finally directing their gaze unanimously at Nathan.

Nathan spoke softly. "He means no harm. Let's just walk with him for a while and see how it goes."

Destroyer and the others responded, "Yes!"

Seeing that Nathan and the others had caught up, Shadowbeard was satisfied. He carefully took the lead, clearing the path ahead.

There were no paths in the primeval forest, making every step a challenge.

Shadowbeard, however, was as patient as an old ox, tirelessly paving the way for Nathan and his group. When they encountered thorns and weeds, he would simply tread over them, creating a path as he went.

Whenever he encountered a mountain stream that was difficult to traverse, he would simply snap off tree trunks to build bridges and pave the way.

Everyone walked for half a day.

When they were tired, they took a break.

Nathan and Destroyer took out their rations and clean water and began to eat and drink.

Shadowbeard was dumbfounded.

He didn't have any food.

Nathan noticed Shadowbeard eyeing the food in his hand. He handed over the small bag of dried venison, saying, "Here. This is for you."

Shadowbeard's eyes lit up. "Thank you!"

He took the dried venison and began to devour it ravenously. As a vampire, he truly mistook himself for a human at that moment, enjoying the meal with great relish.

Nathan exchanged glances with Destroyer and the others.

Everyone's expressions were quite complex at that moment.

It was quite rare to see vampires and humans coexist peacefully.

Not to mention, the vampire before them was not only a powerful one, but he had also transformed into his combat form, revealing his sharp fangs in all their terrifying glory.

Nathan, moved by the scene before

him or perhaps reminded of his own transformation into a vampire, couldn't help but murmur, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if humans and

vampires could live together in peace without fighting?"

Destroyer softly said, "That's impossible! Vampires will always be vampires. They live on blood, forever seeing us humans as their prey. Coexistence in peace is impossible."

Shadowbeard, who was in the middle of a meal, surprisingly heard Destroyer's words. He mumbled with his mouth full, "That's right. We humans and the vampires are irreconcilable. Sooner or later, we will wipe them all out." Nathan and the others fell silent. They couldn't help but feel it was strange to hear such words from a vampire.

Everyone fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts as they ate.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Nathan turned to glance at Shadowbeard, then gave a subtle signal to Destroyer and the others, indicating that it was time for them to leave.

Immediately afterward, Nathan

stood up and said to Shadowbeard,

"Shadowbeard, we're all covered in

sweat. We need to go to the

mountain stream up ahead and take a bath, but we're worried the vampires might seize the

opportunity to attack. Can you stand guard for us here and make sure the vampire doesn't get through?"

Shadowbeard was happily munching on the food Nathan had given him. With his mouth full, he mumbled, "No problem. Go ahead and take your baths. I'll stand guard here, ensuring the vampires don't get a chance to take advantage of the opportunity. Unless they kill me, I won't let them pass through here to harm you."

Nathan's expression subtly shifted after he heard that.

Still, he ultimately subtly signaled to Destroyer and the others to quietly stand up and leave.

Naturally, they weren't planning to take a bath, but rather, they intended to part ways with Shadowbeard. After all, it wouldn't be long before they could leave that primeval forest.

Outside the primeval forest, the Curia's grand army and the vampire army were in a standoff. Additionally, Eurasia's North Army had also arrived, along with the forces from various other nations.

If Nathan and Shadowbeard, the vampire, showed up side by side in front of everyone, Nathan feared to imagine what kind of misunderstanding that would cause.

Nathan was going out to settle scores with Eugene IV.

Hence, it wasn't suitable for him to appear with Shadowbeard to avoid being accused by Eugene IV of colluding with the vampires.

Nathan and his group, leaving behind Black Beard, quietly departed.

Unaware, Shadowbeard stayed true to his promise, remaining in place to keep watch for Nathan and the others!

Unbeknownst to them, not long after Nathan and his party left, a large group of Gods elites arrived, their killing intent bursting forth.
