Salute To The General

Impatiently, Nathan said, "Enough, stop arguing." In an instant, the crowd at the scene quieted down as everyone's gazes fell upon Nathan.

They all knew that when it came to deciding the fate of hundreds of thousands of captive bondslaves, Nathan's opinion would ultimately be the deciding factor.

After all, Nathan was the commander of the alliance, as well as its commander-in-chief. Nathan was a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, and the former was decisive and ruthless. However, even he felt a bit uneasy about executing hundreds of thousands of prisoners at once. In the end, he decided to first take a look at these prisoners of war before making a decision. In the darkness of night, the alliance finished cleaning up the battlefield. The alliance's troops set up camp at both ends of Hellfire Canyon and took a temporary break to regroup. The hundreds of thousands bondslaves were temporarily settled in Hellfire Canyon.

To prevent any incidents from occurring, the War Gods from various countries allocated a significant number of troops to guard these prisoners. Anyone who attempted to escape or cause trouble would be killed on the spot. Nathan, along with Colin, Hepburn, and others, discreetly arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp. Nathan and his companions were all dressed in the black raincoats of normal alliance warriors.

Hence, the bondslave prisoners in the concentration camp did not notice that the group of warriors were not ordinary people. Inside the concentration camp, the captive bondslaves were either lying or squatting down. Their heads hung low, and their faces filled with exhaustion, while their eyes brimmed with despair. Some of them were astonishingly like humans. They knelt on the ground, praying to the sky with murmured words, "Please let us escape the darkness. Grant us the hope and courage to survive..."

Some of the bondslave mothers tightly embraced their dead bondslave children, unwilling to let go. A hint of sadness flickered deep within Nathan eyes.

Where is this so-called evil dark clan? These were simply ordinary civilians persecuted by natural disasters and human calamities.

Nathan stared at the bondslaves

before him and calmly asked Colin, who stood beside him, "I heard that the serum developed by Eurasia can cure blood virus and even turn bondslaves back into healthy humans. Is that true?" Momentarily stunned, Colin answered truthfully, "In terms of experiments and theories, humans have already been using the serum on a large scale, and the results have been remarkable. But there hasn't been any large-scale use of serum on bondslaves so it's hard to say whether these bondslaves can be turned back into healthy humans." Nathan said, "We can at least try, right?"

Colin hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes!" It was then Hepburn realized that Nathan wanted to save the bondslaves by attempting to inject them with the serum to turn them back into humans. Anxiously she said, "Mr. Cross, why do you have to do this? You'd only be doing a thankless job. It would be better to just execute them directly. If there are any issues during the process, or if we leave too vampire captives behind in the allied forces' rear, it may lead to a rebellion by the bondslaves. They could cut off the alliance's retreat, or even affect the plan to eliminate the vampires. Why bother when so many people will take issue with you?"

Nathan replied calmly, "Indeed, it's a thankless job, but I can't bring myself to kill them. At least for now, I don't think it's necessary."

After saying that, he glanced at the War Gods from other countries and said earnestly, "We are here to address the catastrophe brought by the vampires and to restore world peace. What we see before us are not real vampires, they're merely cannon fodder. In truth, they are all victims. If circumstances permit, I'd like to try and save them. Would you all be willing to cooperate with me?"

Nathan currently held a great deal of prestige within the alliance. After a brief hesitation, everyone said in unison, "We're willing to cooperate with Mr. Cross."

Nathan nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, allocate some warriors to guard the bondslave captives in the concentration camp. At the same time, work with Eurasia and other countries to gather supplies and serums. We will inject the bondslaves with the serum." Everyone agreed in unison, "Yes!"

Upon seeing Nathan's

determination, Hepburn could no

longer object. However, she looked at Nathan and asked, “What if,

during the process, some

bondslave's resist or try to escape, or the serum fails to turn them back into humans? What should we do then?" Nathan said calmly, I'm only responsible for providing them with opportunities. If they refuse to seize the chance themselves, or if fate doesn't grant them the opportunity, then the fault doesn't lie with me."

Upon hearing this, Hepburn and the others understood Nathan's intention. If the serum couldn't turn these bondslaves back into healthy humans, then there was only one ultimate fate for them. Death. As Nathan said, he had already given them the opportunity. Thus, the rest was left to fate.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
