Salute to the General novel Chapter 3552

Upon hearing that, Hepburn hesitated, “Well...”

Shadowbeard's suggestion wasn't bad, but she also knew Shadowbeard and the other elite primordial vampires had always been somewhat unfriendly toward Nathan.

Having Shadowbeard lead a team into Mount Eoncrest to rescue Nathan didn't seem quite right.

Shadowbeard seemed to see through Hepburn's reservations, his voice deep as he said, “Do you not trust me, Your Majesty? I solemnly swear that I will do everything in my power to save Mr. Cross, and I will not treat this matter lightly.”

Vampires regarded oaths with utmost importance.

Moreover, Hepburn knew that Shadowbeard was a man of his word.

Seeing Shadowbeard swear like this, she quickly said, “It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that people from all walks of life are flocking here now. Who knows how many ill-intentioned individuals inside Mount Eoncrest are under the guise of rescue when they are actually plotting to hunt down Mr. Cross? You're venturing into Mount Eoncrest to rescue Mr. Cross. It's bound to be extremely dangerous, so I'm a bit worried...”

Shadowbeard said in a deep voice, “Rest assured, Your Majesty! No matter how perilous Mount Eoncrest may be, we will rescue Mr. Cross. If Mr. Cross were to die, we, the vampires, would lose our greatest hope.”

Hearing Shadowbeard's speech, Hepburn had no choice but to agree, “All right, then. Please take all the elite primordial vampires with you and secretly enter Mount Eoncrest immediately to rescue Mr. Cross. I'll lead the vampire army and engage in a standoff with the Curia's forces here. I'll hold back the main force of the Curia, preventing them from entering Mount Eoncrest to harm Mr. Cross. As for the task of saving Mr. Cross, I'll be counting on you, Mr. Shadowbeard.”

Shadowbeard declared loudly, “I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty.”

After saying that, he strode off, summoning all elite primordial vampires to secretly venture into Mount Eoncrest.

Shadowbeard and his crew had just set off when Lyanna entered once again, reporting, “Your Majesty, Pope Eugene from the Curia, has agreed to meet and talk with you.”

Hepburn squinted her eyes. “All right! Max, get ready. We're going to meet that old guy Pope Eugene.”

Max said, “Understood.”
