Salute to the General novel Chapter 3245

Herod's face turned pale when he heard that. He said coldly, “Very well. The ancient sacrificial ritual will commence a week from now. Make sure nothing goes wrong then.”

Max and his subordinates said in unison, “Yes, Patriarch Herod.” Suddenly, Herod seemed to remember something.

“One more thing.” His voice carried a frigid undertone as he spoke.

“Although our vampires have taken control of many districts, there are still many humans in our territory. They are all hiding in the large shelters. According to my intelligence, these humans were the ones who helped Nathan to capture Lambert and Gerart. In the coming days, you have to dig three feet underground. Round up these humans in the shelters and kill them all.”

Max and the others replied together, “Yes.”

Actually, the vampires were aware that many humans were hiding in their territory. Many bounty hunters even went to these territories to fight the vampires to earn bounties. Since the vampires were busy preparing for the secret operation, they did not have time to deal with these stray individuals. Now that the two vampire princes, Lambert and Gerart, were captured, Herod was thoroughly enraged. He had ordered the vampires to dig three feet underground to hunt down the shelters so they could capture and kill all the humans hiding inside.

At Herod's command, the vampires got down to work quickly. That day, a number of shelters were in trouble. There was only one fate when they were discovered. These shelters were destroyed, and all humans hiding inside were captured. Some of them were killed on the spot, while others were taken away as slaves. Soon, the vampire-occupied territory was in a state of turmoil. The underground shelters were no longer safe. Many bounty hunters tried to find ways to evacuate from the occupied territory.

After traveling overnight, Nathan and his men soon arrived at the border of the vampire-occupied territory. They could see the flags of the base of the Allied Forces. Once they crossed the border, they would be back in the save zone and reenter the human world. Wolfric breathed a sigh of relief. He exclaimed, “Haha, we finally made it back! It's a miracle that none of us died along the way. Although some of us were injured, we still managed to survive. It's truly a blessing.” Nathan nodded.

“Now that we're reached the border, we should all be safe.”

“Wolfric, you'll be in charge of leading the team from now on. Bring Lambert and Gerart back to the headquarters. We must make them talk and tell us the reason for the recent unusual activities of the vampires.” Wolfric instinctively replied, “Okay!” He then suddenly realized something and looked at Nathan hesitatingly.

“Wait a minute. Commander Cross, if I bring the team to the headquarters, what are you going to do?” Nathan explained, “I just received the news that after we left, the vampires were furious and vented their anger on the humans in the vampire-occupied territory. They started attacking the shelters. Many underground shelters have been destroyed. They also discovered Nightfire Underground City and have surrounded the place. The situation is extremely precarious. Some bounty hunters managed to break free. I met them on the way here, and they were the ones who told me about it.”

Wolfric and the others were startled to hear that. Monica frowned.

“Commander Cross, are you saying that you're going back to Nightfire Underground City to save the humans?” Wolfric looked at Nathan with a puzzled expression.

“Commander Cross, don't tell me something is going on between you and that seductive Shadow Widow.”

Annoyed, Nathan said, “Don't talk nonsense. When we asked Shadow Widow for help finding the information for our team, she didn't ask for anything in return. All she wanted was to be my friend. Now that we've captured the two vampire princes and angered the vampires, Nightfire Underground City will be implicated. For both official and personal reasons, it is only right that I go back to save them.”

Wolfric asked, “How many shelters are there in the vampire-occupied territory? Also, how many shelters are in danger? How many shelters can you defend, and how many humans can you save if you go back? I think you should abort your plan.”

Colin also advised, “That's right, let's all go back to the headquarters. When we find out the reason for the vampire's unusual activities, we can think of a way to destroy the vampires completely. That's the best solution.” Nathan insisted, “Nightfire Underground City is in trouble because of me., and Shadow Widow is my friend. I won't be able to forgive myself if I don't go back and save them. I can't sit around and do nothing. As for your questions about how many shelters and humans I can save, I can only say that I'll try my best and leave the rest to fate.”

Nathan continued, “Don't try to talk me out of this. You should all go back to the headquarters. I'll see you there in a couple of days.”
