Salute to the General novel Chapter 3247

Rulon looked at Shadow Widow and said solemnly, “Madam, should we surrender or fight to the death? Please make a decision!”

Everyone present fell silent and turned their gaze to Shadow Widow. The vampires outside had already issued a stern ultimatum, giving them only half an hour to consider. Once the time was up, if they didn't surrender or make a decision, the vampires would launch an attack and wipe them all out. So now they had to choose between fighting to the death or surrendering. Naturally, Shadow Widow was unwilling to surrender in her heart. Because even if they surrendered, it often didn't lead to a favorable outcome. She looked around at her capable subordinates, as well as the bounty hunter captains, and spoke slowly, “My decision alone won't suffice. We need to discuss and decide together. What do you all think?” Massimo was the first to speak, “Let's fight to the death!”

“The vampires treat us humans as slaves, as playthings, and even as livestock for their feeding,” they said. “Surrendering will only lead to death eventually. It's better to give it our best shot,” Massimo's suggestion immediately gained support from the others.

“Yes, let's give it our best shot!” “If we don't fight now, we'll die sooner or later when they capture us.”

“It's better to fight now and maybe, just maybe, we can fight our way out and find a way to survive.” Shadow Widow saw that most people were in favor of fighting to the death, and she showed a satisfied expression. She raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, “My thoughts align with yours. Surrendering would only make us slaves and playthings of the vampires, and we could be killed at any moment.”

“Let's give it our all. Whoever can break through and escape, it will depend on their fate.” Rulon, Massimo, and the others echoed, shouting to break out and fight the vampires outside in a fight to the death.

However, Shadow Widow stopped everyone and said, “Everyone, calm down. Please listen to me.” Everyone looked at the Black Widow in astonishment. With narrowed eyes, Shadow Widow said, “There are tens of thousands of vampires outside, and powerful ones like Beryn overseeing them. If we openly break out, our chances of success are slim.” Massimo frowned and asked, “Do you have any suggestions?” Shadow Widow smirked and said, “I suggest we pretend to surrender and then launch a surprise attack. It might just work.” The crowd's eyes lit up, and they praised the idea one after another. Without further ado, they put the plan into action. Shadow Widow sent someone to deliver a message to Beryn, stating that over three thousand humans in the underground city were willing to surrender and requested permission for them to come out and surrender. On the ground. Surrounded by a group of powerful vampires, Beryn looked at Rulon with amusement in his eyes and said with a smirk, “Are you really planning to surrender?”

Rulon lowered his head and said, “That's right, Madam has requested Lord Beryn to accept our surrender.”

Beryn asked, “Your madam?” Rulon explained, “Yes, she is the mistress of the Nightfire Underground City, and others refer to our mistress as the Shadow Widow.”

Beryn seemed to recall something and smiled, “I've heard of her. They say she is a widow, remarkably beautiful, and it's said that any man who schemes against her ends up dead, is that true?” Rulon's expression changed momentarily, and he nodded, “Yes.”

Like other vampires, Beryn had a strong lustful nature. He chuckled and said, “Interesting.” Then, he continued, “Let her bring the people from the Nightfire Underground City out to surrender. I'm eager to meet her in person.” Rulon replied, “Yes!” Soon, Rulon turned and left.

The powerful vampires on-site looked at Beryn. In a low voice, one bearded man reminded him, “Lord Beryn, are we really going to accept their surrender?”

“Prince Max ordered us to kill everyone in every underground shelter...”

Beryn smirked, “Heh, Faison, you don't understand.”

“If we don't deceive them into surrendering, they will fight to the death, and then we would have casualties.”

“We'll pretend to accept their surrender, lure them out, and then strike suddenly, annihilating them completely. Isn't that a splendid plan?” Upon hearing Beryn's words, Faison and the other vampire’s elite were momentarily stunned, and then they unanimously exclaimed, “Lord Beryn, you are wise!”
