Salute To The General

Who is it?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mathew, Sean, and the others all gazed intently at Shadow Widow. Shadow Widow excitedly picked up the newspaper, covered the lower half of Nathan's face, and exclaimed loudly, "Look. Doesn't he look exactly like Mr. Cross wearing a warrior mask?" Mather and the others looked shocked and gasped in unison.

"Oh my God, Mr. Cross is actually the commander-in-chief of the alliance and the God of War, Nathan!"

"No wonder!" Everyone discussed it spiritedly. Some had faces full of sudden realization, some were visibly excited, while others wore expressions of deep regret. They were probably regretting not recognizing him sooner and missing the opportunity to befriend the strongest God of War. News of Lambert and Gerart's incident quickly spread throughout the vampire-occupied territory. The news also reached Max's ears. Max was shocked, furious and also felt a lingering fear. This time, the human alliance's operation was aimed at him. Fortunately, he was out and managed to escape the disaster. However, poor Lambert and Gerart ended up becoming his scapegoats. Both princes were met with misfortune, and it happened in the region he was managing. He did not dare to delay the matter, so he hurried to the headquarters to meet Herod and report the issue in person.

Yet, when he arrived at the vampire headquarters, he noticed the remaining 11 princes were gathered there. Taken aback, Max asked, "Why are all of you here?" Gregg snorted.

"With such a huge incident happening in the area you're responsible for and two vampire princes in trouble, do you think we can still sit idly by?"

"Max, I've realized that you're a jinx. Whoever encounters you ends up unlucky."

"That happened to Lux and Vivien in the past too. Now, it's the same with Lambert and Gerart." Max frowned.

"How can you blame me for their misfortune?" Gregg had always blamed Louis' death on Max. He could not help but want to argue with Max. At that moment, Lyanna walked out in high heels. She said coldly, "Everyone, please stop arguing. Patriarch Herod wants to see you all. Come in."

Max and Gregg, along with a group of princes, hurriedly followed Lyanna into the conference hall upon hearing her words. An elegant and noble man sat in the conference hall at the head of the long meeting table. It was none other than Herod. Max and his companions quickly placed their left palms on their chests and bowed in unison.

"We pay our respects to the

Patriarch." Herod opened his eyelids, glanced indifferently at everyone, and slowly said, "Let's all sit down and talk." Max and everyone else

took their seats according to theiret

respective identities. Fourteen princes, fourteen seats, but there were now two unoccupied seats. Herod stared at the seats belonging to Lambert and Gerart and said coldly, "You were supposed to catch the intruder, but not only did you fail to do so, you even let the humans capture two princes. You've completely disgraced the vampires' reputation."

Everyone in the hall stared blankly at one another, not daring to utter a word. In the end, it was Max who mustered the courage to stand up and attempt an explanation. "Patriarch Herod, about this matter-"

Herod interrupted coldly, "No need to explain. I already know what's going on. What's done is done. There's no point in saying more."

"Let's now discuss the ancient sacrificial ritual to create the dark canopy," Herod continued. "How is the progress on the tasks I assigned you all?" Max hurriedly reported, "Our clan has already followed your orders and sent a hundred thousand human captives to the headquarters." Gregg also declared, "Our clan also has delivered a hundred thousand human captives to the headquarters as requested and are ready for the sacrificial ceremony at any time."

"Our clan has already sent a hundred

thousand humans here as well..." All the princes present expressed one after another that they had completed the tasks required by their respective clans. It turned out that Herod had ordered all fourteen clans of the vampires to each offer a hundred thousand human captives for the ancient sacrificial ritual. They would be used to summon the dark canopy, plunging Earth into eternal darkness lasting over 20 days. When the dark canopy shrouded Earth and entered eternal darkness, vampires born from the dark would see a drastic increase in their combat strength.

Without sunlight, humans would definitely struggle to adapt. Their ability to move and fight would be significantly weakened, and even their mental state might be affected after spending an extended time in darkness. Moreover, the dark

canopy could block the signats from human satellites in the sky. When that happens, the entire Earth would be without satellite signals. Humanity's high-tech equipment would cease to function. Simultaneously, vampires and humans would be engaged in a great battle.
