Salute to the General novel Chapter 3812

Lucius grinned. "That's right, I said that before. But I've changed my mind now. Among you, whoever helps me capture Penny Smith's entire family and hands them over to me can live. Only one of you can survive, and the other two must die. If anyone wants to live, hurry up and seize the opportunity."

He burst out laughing.

Behind him, Mentzer, Fermin, Lola, and the rest of his subordinates also burst into laughter.

Wolfric, Leopold, and Zach's expressions drastically changed. The surrounding human War Gods and Earth Alliance soldiers finally understood the intentions of these aliens. It turned out they were targeting Nathan's family.

Wolfric's expression shifted before he spoke. "So, you're after Nathan. We can arrange to capture Nathan's family and hand them over to you, but you must spare everyone here!"

Lucius' eyes widened. "I told you three that only one of you could survive. No one said you can negotiate terms."

As he spoke, he effortlessly threw a punch.

Whoosh!

The punch was an invisible force aimed straight at Wolfric's chest.

Taken aback, Wolfric quickly moved to defend himself but was forced to retreat.

The invisible force shook his internal organs. A mouthful of fresh blood surged to his throat, nearly causing him to vomit.

He forcefully swallowed the blood back down.

Pretending to be unaffected, he angrily said, "We've agreed to hand them over, so don't go too far. There's a saying among humans, 'Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.' I advise you not to go too far. Otherwise, there will be no benefit in us fighting to the death."

Before Lucius could speak, Zach declared, "We can't hand them over! Publicly, Mr. Cross is Earth's hero, our protector. How can we hand over his family to these hostile alien enemies? Privately, Mr. Cross and I are more than brothers. I would never agree to hand over his family to these alien scoundrels."

Leopold agreed, "Exactly, we cannot hand over anyone. Moreover, even if we did, these guys probably wouldn't spare us. We might as well fight them. Even if it means heavy casualties, we must annihilate them!"

Wolfric had already recognized the formidable strength of Lucius and his alien companions. Learning that the Four Emperors were targeting Nathan's family, he was initially reluctant to engage in combat with these formidable extraterrestrial beings.

However, given Lucius's insolence and the unwillingness of Leopold and Zach to hand over anyone, he had no choice but to brace himself.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then we'll fight them head-on. All soldiers of the alliance, heed my command. Spare no effort to eliminate these scoundrels at all costs."

As soon as the command was given, the War Gods and numerous alliance soldiers raised their weapons, launching the first wave of attacks against Lucius and the other alien beings.

Lucius sneered, "You have a death wish!"

Having said that, he waved his hand. His companions and subordinates immediately joined the battle.

The Earth Alliance Headquarters' hall erupted into chaos.

Gunshots, the clash of swords, shouts, and screams echoed, creating a cacophony.

Leopold turned and grabbed the captain of the National Guards. In a low voice, he instructed, "Hurry, notify Mr. Cross to come and help us."

Then, he joined the melee.

The Earth Alliance's War Gods were among the top human fighters, and the Earth Alliance's soldiers were elite warriors.

However, compared to the Four Emperors, they were outmatched.

From the beginning of the battle, the Four Emperors and their subordinates had an absolute advantage, causing the Earth Alliance's soldiers to fall in large numbers.

Nevertheless, Earthlings were known for their bravery. Witnessing many comrades fall, they became enraged, charging forward on the blood and bodies of their fallen comrades, relentlessly confronting the extraterrestrial foes.

At Riverside Garden, Nathan received a call and learned that something had gone wrong at the Earth Alliance Headquarters. His face drastically changed upon hearing the news. He immediately ordered Colin and Ava to prepare his car, and they hurriedly rushed to the scene.
