After Eiken left, Leopold sighed and said, “Mr. Cross, I told you. Wolfric is quite cunning. He immediately seized the opportunity to seize command of the Eastern Front Forces while you and I were away. When you were in danger, he didn't send anyone to help. It appears that he wants us to remain on the mountain so that, when the enemy arrives, we will be the first to face them. I'll tell you what. When we are attacked by the enemy, his claims that he will immediately send the army here to support us are complete nonsense. We should count ourselves lucky if he does not betray us.”
Colin also angrily said, “Mr. Cross, Wolfric is not trustworthy. How about we stop guarding this place and head straight back to the alliance camp to regain command of the alliance? How can he be the one to command the Eastern Front Forces? And when we're in danger, we still have to hope that he'll come to our rescue!”
Everyone looked at Nathan, waiting for him to make a decision. Nathan slowly shook his head.
“No, God's Palm's vantage point is crucial for the entire battlefield. We've worked so hard to get control of this place. How can we just hand it over to the vampires? If the vampires were to occupy this place, they would be fighting us from higher ground, and our casualties would be much more severe. So many innocent comrades would have to be sacrificed!”
Leopold and Colin, along with the others, all fell silent. Leopold said bitterly, “Is there really no way to break this deadlock? Are we supposed to prioritize the bigger picture, let Wolfric manipulate us, and even entrust our lives to him?”
Nathan, on the contrary, still had a calm expression on his face and said with a light smile, “Everyone, don't be too pessimistic. Solutions are always more abundant than difficulties, for behind every difficulty, there are often countless solutions.”
Upon hearing that, Leopold, Hepburn, Colin, and Myron all had expressions of surprise and delight on their faces. Hepburn even asked with great anticipation, “Mr. Cross, have you thought of a countermeasure?”
Nathan smiled and replied, “I have an idea. Let me know if it sounds feasible to you all. If it works, not only can we break the stalemate, but we can also avoid countless casualties among our alliance soldiers.”
Hepburn hurriedly said, “Go on. Tell us about it.” Subsequently, Nathan quietly shared his plan with Hepburn and the others. After Hepburn and the others heard that, their eyes lit up. Leopold even exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Cross, your plan is absolutely brilliant! Not only can it break the trap set by Wolfric, but if everything goes smoothly, the hundreds of thousands of vampires led by Gregg will be annihilated in the blink of an eye under your command.”
Hearing that, Nathan chuckled lightly and said, “Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's split up and take action.”
After saying that, Nathan began assigning tasks to everyone. Everyone received the tasks arranged by Nathan and immediately set off to carry them out without any delay. Inside the commander's tent of the vampire army, Gregg had a gloomy expression on his face.
The expressions on the faces of the elites around him, such as Joshua and Verhand, didn't look much better either. The only one who remained calm was Max. Gregg said coldly, “I've already investigated the matter. Kathur did indeed encounter Nathan, and Nathan utterly defeated him. There's no saving him now.
As for his Starfire Legion, I've already entrusted it to his younger brother, Kaelen Yates, to lead. Let's discuss this together. With the human alliance occupying the high ground, how should we approach this major battle?”
