Everyone present could tell that Wolfric was making things difficult for Nathan.
Unbeknownst to everyone, however, everything was actually going according to Nathan's plan.
In an instant, the crowd could not help but admire Nathan.
With all the havoc caused by the werewolves and vampires and the fact that there has been an outbreak of blood virus, Adrune has suffered significant losses. Through the method of coercion, Wolfric successfully became the commander-in-chief. However, after snagging that title, all he thinks about is picking fights with other humans, finding ways to suppress Eurasia, and dealing with Nathan. On the contrary, Nathan is nothing like him. Although the dark clan has been on a rampage, they haven't really reached Aploth yet. Despite that, Nathan has stepped forward to provide any help he can without hesitation. Apart from that, he humbly ceded the seat of the commander-in-chief to Wolfric for the sake of the overall situation. Even now, when Wolfric is trying to oppress him, he still takes on the difficult task of slaying the Alpha Wolf without thinking about the risks he will have to face.
A lot of people started to look at Wolfric in a different light.
Meanwhile, Eugene IV, who was watching from the sidelines, was well aware that even though Wolfric had become the commander-in-chief, the man had already lost the favor of the people around him.
On the other hand, Nathan had earned the people's respect.
If Nathan really succeeds in killing the Alpha Wolf and returns triumphantly, the War Gods of a hundred nations will surely honor him as king, and Nathan shall become the true commander-in-chief. But the question is, can he actually slay the Alpha Wolf? I reckon Wolfric is betting that he can't.
Being a decisive man, Nathan was prepared to leave to make the necessary preparations after taking over the mission.
Yet, before he could, Hepburn stopped him. “Please hold on a moment, Mr. Cross.”
Nathan and his subordinates halted in their tracks.
He then turned around to look at Hepburn before asking dubiously, “Is there anything else, Ms. Hepburn?”
The crowd, too, was looking at Hepburn with confused expressions.
Hepburn's face flushed slightly, but she pressed on, saying, “Mr. Cross, the task of slaying the Alpha Wolf will be an arduous one. Although I can't do much to help, I'm willing to lead a team of people to go with you.”
