Salute To The General

Nathan and the others successfully parachuted into the vampire-occupied territory.

After safely landing, they quickly gathered, concealed their parachutes, and then began to walk toward Kushburn, which was several dozen kilometers away. Kushburn was the capital of that small country.

Not long after the blood virus outbreak, that nation fell and became a paradise for vampires.

According to the intelligence controlled by the alliance, the vampires occupying the area belonged to Max's lineage.

Nathan's plan was to infiltrate Kushburn, capture Max, and learn from him what the vampires were up to with their frequent large-scale movements recently. Walking dozens of kilometers would've been unbearable for ordinary people.

However, to human elites like Nathan and his team, that journey was a breeze.

They formed a single-file line, advancing cautiously at a seemingly slow but actually fast pace, covering ten kilometers in just one hour.

Suddenly, Nathan, who was leading the group, raised his right fist.

Everyone behind him immediately stopped in their tracks.

Wolfric, looking surprised and concerned, whispered, "What's wrong?"

Nathan answered, "I sense movements."

Everyone's expression turned solemn after they heard that.

They were at the vampire-occupied territory where they might encounter vampires, even large groups of them, at any time.

They weren't afraid of fighting vampires, but they were scared battling the vampires along the way would cause a commotion.

If they alerted the Patriarch within the vampire-occupied territory or other royal vampires, they might face a massive encirclement and annihilation by countless vampires.

Hence, they had to practice extreme caution. In fact, Nathan wasn't the only one who noticed something unusual.

Peder also sensed it, but when he was about to say it, Nathan had already reminded everyone first.

Peder was upset that Nathan had beaten him to it, so he snorted coldly. So what if there's the sound

of fighting ahead? We noticed it long ago. What's so remarkable about that?"

Nathan ignored Peder and continued to move forward carefully, with the rest of the group treading on his heels.

Not long after, a canyon appeared before them.

The canyon was about twenty to thirty meters high and thirty to forty meters wide.

At the bottom of the canyon, a battle was taking place.

A large group of pale-faced vampires with sharp fangs was attacking several human warriors.

On the ground, dozens of human warrior corpses were scattered about.

Many vampires were squatting next to the bodies, biting and sucking blood like wild animals feasting on their prey.

The surviving human warriors were also in grave danger.

Colin asked in bewilderment, "Why are there human warriors here? Should we help them?"

Before Nathan could speak, Wolfric said, "It's obvious that they're a bounty hunter team, here to hunt vampires in exchange for bounties from the Curia. We came into the vampire-occupied territory with an important mission to accomplish, so we could not afford to get

the

distracted. We should leave at once without delay before these vampires discover us. I don't want to risk exposing ourselves because of these bounty hunters."

Apart from Colin and Sevan, everyone on the team nodded in agreement with Wolfric's opinion.

At that moment, a few of those human survivors being attacked by the vampires below the canyon let out horrible screams as they perished. Only one person remained alive.

Nathan sighed inwardly. Although what Wolfric said was cold and ruthless, he did have a point.

They entered the vampire-occupied

territory to complete an important

mission, not to save one or two people. They needed to find out if

the vampires' recent large-scale movements were a sign of an

impending war.

If they exposed their whereabouts for the sake of saving those few people, it would be a loss outweighing any gain.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Nathan, with some reluctance, turned away, ready to leave quietly with the others.

However, Collin suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Commander Cross, take a look! That last survivor seems to be a female Eurasian soldier."
