Salute to the General novel Chapter 765

Everyone exploded into cheer as they looked at Nathan in awe. He's the legendary god of war! The invincible warrior of Summerton! He's the nation's treasure! The General of the North! He was Nathan Cross, the divine warrior and the idol of countless soldiers.

Everyone was whipped into a frenzy, except for Preston and Madam Helen. Preston was shaken to find out that Nathan was the general, and he looked at him multiple times to confirm it. Oh my god, I'm not dreaming. This is real. F*ck! I crossed someone like that? Preston felt his heart pounding, and he almost passed out from the shock.

Madam Helen wasn't any better. Her face was ashen, and her smug look was replaced by fear and despair. She couldn't believe this was the truth, and now she was in the first of the five stages of griefdenial. "This isn't true, this isn't true.” She mumbled. "He's too young. He can't be the General of the North."

As if fate wanted to refute her, General Darius announced, "The general shall deliver his speech now."

Nathan looked around at the leaders and celebrated figures around him before starting, "Greetings, everyone. It is an honor to stand here and pay our respects to the past heroes of our nation. Never should we forget the humiliation we suffered at the hands of our enemies, and never should we forget the heroes who gave themselves to the nation. Forevermore should we remember our purpose and move forward, no matter how hard it may be."

It was a short speech, but everyone could feel the weight behind his every word. The weight on their shoulders seem to become corporeal now, and they clapped. Right at the end of the speech, Kenny announced the start of the event.

The bell of peace was rang three times, and a thousand doves were freed from their cages, soaring into the sky. A moment later, the siren blared, and the whole city started mourning for their fallen heroes.

Nathan didn't spare a look for Preston and Madam Helen throughout the event, nor did he speak to them. Despite that, the duo felt a suffocating pressure crushing them, which left them drenched in cold sweat.

Everyone was mourning their past heroes, except Preston and Madam Helen who were more worried for themselves. All they could think of was that they were done for.

The event ended soon after, and Nathan announced, "Guests, you may take your leave. Leaders, please stay with me for a bit. And remember to deploy some soldiers to keep the order of the people in the plaza. Remember to let them leave without any commotion or roughing up."

Everyone praised Nathan for being so considerate about the people to the point he cared about their safe departure. He even let them leave first by asking the leaders to say.

On the other hand, Madam Helen and Preston shivered after hearing the announcement. Their heart started sinking, for they knew Nathan was doing this because he wanted to keep them around so he could get back at them for what they did.

When she and Preston were about to leave with the other guests, a group of armed soldiers stopped them. A colonel told them coldly, "Both of you must stay. These are the general's orders.”
