Salute To The General

seeing Kathur. Because he had once been a peerless powerhouse in Eurasia, on par with Lothar.

Soon, a burly middle-aged man from the East walked in at a leisurely pace. He sported a goatee and was dressed in a black military uniform. He was the Captain of the Starfire Legion, Kathur Yates. If Nathan's teacher, Lothar, were still alive, he would be startled upon

Once upon a time, there had been a saying: "The South has Lothar, and the North has Kathur." It meant that in the southern region, Lothar was naturally known as the strongest; while in the northern region, Kathur reigned supreme. Later on, these two renowned powerhouses finally met face-to-face. Although the two were equally famous, Lothar was a full twenty years older than Kathur.

Both of them had stared at each other unblinkingly, before ultimately deciding to resolve their conflict through a duel. The loser would have to leave Eurasia and never show their face again. As a result, the two engaged in hundreds of rounds of fierce battles, with Lothar narrowly emerging victorious. After Kathur lost, he fled from Eurasia. No one ever expected him to appear here today.

"Greetings, Marshal, and to all the Princes present." Kathur bowed slightly towards Gregg and the others as a sign of respect.

Although he now served the vampires as their hunting dog, there was no trace of submission in his demeanor. Instead, he exuded an undeniable air of dominance and authority. Gregg said with a grin, "Kathur, this time I've called you here to have you lead an elite force to seize God's Palm Mountain before anyone else. Any questions?"

"No problem, I'll send someone to handle it right away," Kathur said. Gregg shook his head.

"You didn't understand me. I'm not asking you to send your subordinates to take over. I want you to personally take action."

Personally take action? Kathur was slightly taken aback, as he was the prestigious commander of the two hundred thousand Starfire mercenaries. How could they let him personally lead a troop to seize a hill? Gregg explained, "This mission is crucial, and I must send a strong individual who can hold their own. You are someone I trust, and I can only be at ease if you go."

Upon hearing this, Kathur immediately said, "Alright, if the Marshal wants me to go, I will go."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Gregg nodded, "Remember, bring the strongest warriors under your command, as well as the most elite troops. There must be no issues whatsoever."

Kathur barked, "Yes!" After the conversation, he quickly turned around and left, swiftly gathering his capable subordinates. Not long after, Kathur, along with a hundred of his capable subordinates and ten thousand carefully selected battle-hardened veterans, set off towards the God's Palm mountain range with an air of murderous intent. Kathur originally thought that although this mission was crucial, the process should be quite easy.

In fact, he didn't think he would

encounter any formidable enemies along the way at most, he might run into some human alliance scouts. With his strength, dealing with these human alliance scouts was as easy as crushing a few ants. How could he have imagined that at this very moment, the Supreme Commander of the Human Alliance and the trump card of mankind, Nathan, was inspecting the terrain atop God's Palm Mountain? At the same time, Nathan and his companions had just arrived at the peak of God's Palm.

The wind was strong on the mountain, causing Nathan and the others' clothes to flap around loudly. Hepburn wrapped herself tightly in her cloak, enduring the chill of the, mountain peak. While using her night vision goggles, she surveyed the surroundings and whispered, "It's a pity that it's the Eternal Darkness now. Many flowers, plants, and trees on the mountain have withered due to the lack of sunlight. On a normal day, this place must be beautiful, especially during sunrise and sunset."

Nathan just smiled, neither confirming nor denying her

statement. Women only focused on the beauty of the scenery; however, Nathan was currently concerned about the enemy situation. At this moment, he strained his eyes to see into the distance, but he still couldn't catch sight of the enemy's main camp on the faraway plains. Instead, he suddenly noticed that on the distant hillside, there were countless tiny dots moving in this direction, just like numerous little ants. Nathan frowned.

"What is that?" Hepburn, along with Colin and the others, quickly looked in the direction he had pointed out.

started to seize the high ground."

There was no chance that they could be unaffected; they jumped up in fright upon first glance. Colin exclaimed in a low voice, "It's the banner of the vampires! It's their army! There are so many, I estimate thousands or even tens of thousands. The enemy has already
