Salute To The General

Lux and Max came to an agreement.

That was also the first time those two were working together.

Lux turned to face Nathan before whispering to Max and all the vampire elites who were present, "We cannot stay here for long. This battle has to be resolved in the shortest time possible." Max and the other vampires promptly agreed.

After all, they were in the Curia territory, which doubled as the temporary headquarters of the Hundred Nations Gods of War Alliance.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the area was swarming with powerful elites.

If Lux and Max were not yearning for revenge and the dark blood essence that Herod had promised as a reward, they would not have put themselves at risk by attacking Nathan.

However, if they could not kill Nathan, the strongest God of War among men, Lux and Max were certain that no vampire would be able to force the two of them to stay in the fight if they were to escape. Thus, both of them agreed that timing was of the essence in that fight.

A murderous aura filled the place as the two vampire princes got into position along with the countless vampire elites.

At the sight of what was happening, Wolfric paled in fright.

Two vampire princes had shown up on the battlefield. He was beginning to doubt that he could hold his ground before the Curia's elites and other God of Wars could hurry over to assist in battle.

Wolfric's subordinates were even more terrified by the circumstances. Immense fear could be seen behind all of their eyes. Each one of them looked as though they would run off at any time if given the choice. Conversely, Colin and the Elite Eight were a lot calmer. Glaring at the enemies with a solemn yet cautious look, they tightened their grip on their weapons, prepared to attack anytime. Meanwhile, Nathan was the most composed of them all.

At the same time, he was a little surprised. Ever since he killed Vivien, there were only thirteen vampire princes left.

Never did he expect two vampire princes to show up on the same night. Fighting two at the same time would be a new challenge for Nathan.

"Listen up, everybody! Prepare for battle! Stand ground until help comes!" Nathan uttered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Sir!" Colin, Wolfric, and their respective subordinates as well as the warriors of the Curia responded in unison.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

With that, all of them immediately got into defensive formations.

It only took Max and Lux a glance to figure out that the humans in front of them intended to prolong the battle until reinforcements arrived.

Lux commented coldly, "Planning to stall for time? Do you really think you can succeed?"

With a wave of his hand, Max commanded, "Kill them!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All of the vampires on the scene sprang into action. Their figures transformed into faint shadows as they charged at the humans at high speed. "Fight!"

With a thunderous roar, Colin raised the gun in his hand and fired all the mithril bullets in one go, completely disfiguring the vampire that was charging toward himself. Before he could change out the bullet magazine, another vampire lunged at him.

Discarding the pistol at a side, Colin quickly pulled out a mithril dagger and closed the distance between himself and the vampire so that he could engage in a fight. An all-out fight broke out between the humans and the vampires.

Be it the super-soldiers in Wolfric's team of guards or the Curia's warriors of Sunburst Hospital, all of them were incredibly skilled in combat.

Unfortunately, they were up against the strongest elites among vampires that night.

All of Max's assistants and Lux's subordinates were nobles among the vampires. They were also the pillars of the vampire community.

The weakest vampires on the battlefield were at least a vampire baron. Within the army were numerous vampire viscounts, marquises, earls, and many more.

It was no wonder that the humans had been on the losing end the moment the battle had begun.

One by one, many warriors from the Curia and super-soldiers of Ariarica were being killed off by the army of vampires.

Screams of terror filled the air as fresh blood covered every inch of the ground. It was as though they were in hell.

Even Colin and the Elite Eight were

barely hanging on. For the time

being, they were able to protect themselves with the help of the mithrit weapons the Curia had gifted them, but the circumstances were dire.

Similarly, Nathan was feeling pressured by the intense stares he was getting from the two vampire princes.

Keeping his gaze on Nathan, Lux sneered, "Tonight shall be the night vengeance is served on behalf of our comrade Vivien. Die!" Lux took a step forward the moment he finished talking.

Even though it was just one step, it

was as though Lux had the power to teleport through space. Nathan felt his vision getting blurry. In the next second, Lux appeared right in front of him.

Raising his fist, Lux threw a punch at Nathan.

That punch was as swift as a thunderbolt.

Just as Lux began to attack Nathan, Max appeared next to Nathan as though the two were moving in sync. Balancing himself on his left leg,

Max lifted his right foot to senda lightning-quick kick to Nathan's temple.

The kick consisted of earth-shattering strength.

In face of the attacks by the two vampire princes, Nathan remained calm and steady.

In the most crucial moment, he retaliated.
