Salute To The General

Leaving the campsite, the surroundings were pitch black. It was so dark that one couldn't see their own hand before them. Hepburn also had to put on a pair of night vision goggles to see clearly. However, Nathan and Sevan, these top-level humans, had senses far

beyond ordinary people. They didn't need night vision goggles and could move freely in the dark.

Even so, if this continued on for a long time, their bodies would undoubtedly undergo changes. Right then, Colin was already complaining, "It's been so many days since we've seen the sun. I wonder when this damned Dark Canopy will fall and when the Eternal Darkness will finally end?" Patiently, Nathan said, "This is not something we can control. Let's just focus on doing what we need to do, and win against the vampires first. We can discuss everything else later."

Hepburn chimed in, "Actually, there's no need for everyone to worry too much. Ever since the vampires created the Dark Canopy and brought about the Eternal Darkness, our Pope and the Council of Elders have been poring over ancient texts and researching information. The conclusion they reached was that the Dark Canopy won't last very long. It'll probably persist for around twenty days to a month. Pope Eugene even boldly speculated that once this retrograde period ends, the dark veil would also be lifted.

Nathan gave her a small smile and said, "This might be the best news I've received recently." Colin joked,

"There's still half a month left until the end of the retrograde. It seems we'll have to suffer in the darkness for a while longer."

Despite that, Sevan said, "What I'm afraid of is that the Pope's prediction might be inaccurate. Even more so that after the Dark Canopy falls, the vampires might create a new Dark Canopy. If that happens, the Earth will truly be plunged into an Eternal Darkness."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. It was not impossible for Sevan worries to become true. Colin was just about to speak when Nathan, who was walking in the front, suddenly furrowed his brow and kicked a stone on the ground, sending it flying. The stone whizzed through the air like a bullet, shooting into the distant grass with a rustle. There was a loud smack. At the same time, a piercing scream rang out.

Immediately after, two dark figuresThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

burst out from the bushes, sprinting for their lives in different directions. Judging by their attire, they were scouts from the vampires. Colin

charged out and each took down a vampire scout. On the other hand, Nathan confidently nodded to

Sevan, almost simult

Hepburn, "Don't worry about it, let's just keep going." They began climbing toward God's Palm

mountain range.

Not long after, Colin and Sevan returned one after another. Colin had chased after the vampire scout for three miles before killing them. On the other hand, Sevan finally managed to kill the scout he had been pursuing after chasing them for five miles. After listening to the reports from the two, Nathan slightly furrowed his brows, "It seems that the scouts sent by the vampires are all elites."

"The vampires must know about the arrival of our large army, and they have surely sent out quite a few scouts to gather information. Moreover, they are all elites. We must be cautious when we go to the summit of God's Palm Mountain to inspect the terrain," Colin mused.

"Absolutely no issues can arise."

Colin's words were not only advice

for Nathan but also addressed to the

Elite Eight around him, as well as

Hepburn and several of her bodyguards. The unspoken message was to remind everyone be cautious and vigilant. If any situation arose, they must risk their lives to protect the commander-in-chief at all costs, ensuring that nothing happened to him. Nathan chuckled lightly and said, "We're just here to survey the terrain. Even if we encounter a few enemy scouts, it's no big deal. Let's not make everyone overly nervous."

Upon hearing this, Colin thought to himself, "That's true. With Mr. Cross' abilities, he can move freely among thousands of troops. What is there to worry about on this small hill?"

What Nathan and Colin didn't know was...at this very moment, Max had realized the importance of the mountain range of God's Palm. Whichever side could take control of the mountain range and seize the high ground first would have the advantage in the upcoming battle, as they would be able to look down upon their enemies and have a firm grasp on victory.

That was why Max suggested to

ve

Gregg that they should immediately dispatch an elite unit to ascend the summit of God's Palm Mountain and secure the high ground first. Moreover, he had also volunteered personally, expressing his willingness to lead the team. Gregg knew that his military capabilities were reliable. Last time, it was by using Max's tactics that he was able to defeat Wolfric. So he found Max's suggestion to be quite reasonable.

But he couldn't stop worrying about Max and gently declined his request to be the frontline general. Grinning, he said, "Max, since you're new here, let the people below handle the hard and tiring work of being a frontline general." After speaking, he ordered, "Someone, go and summon the Captain of the Starfire Legion, Kathur Yates, to me." "Yes, Marshal!"
