Salute To The General

Nathan was taken aback. ""What news?"

As Eugene IV accompanied Nathan and walked further inside, he whispered, "Both Lambert and Gerart confessed after they could not bear our torment." Eugene IV continued, "According to them, the vampire's Patriarch, Herod, is about to conduct an unprecedentedly large and ancient sacrificial ritual. Nathan asked with confusion,

"Unprecedentedly grand? How grand will it be?" Eugene IV answered solemnly, "Using the lives and fresh blood of millions of people to conduct the ancient sacrificial ritual."

Nathan's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. His face filled with astonishment as he stared at Eugene IV.

"Really?" Eugene IV sighed bitterly and replied, "I wish it was false news too. But when we interrogated Lambert and Gerart, we questioned them separately."

Eugene IV added, "The situations they finally explained were quite similar. After discussing and analyzing with Leopold, Wolfric, and others, we unanimously concluded that the two were not lying. The vampires indeed plan to do so." Nathan's expression also became serious.

"What on earth does Herod want to do?"

Eugene IV responded in a deep voice, "Create the Dark Canopy."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Nathan asked puzzledly, "What on earth is Dark Canopy?"

Eugene IV explained, "According to the scriptures, the dark clan supreme being can use countless lives and fresh blood as sacrificial offerings to perform the ancient sacrificial ritual, thus creating the Dark Canopy."

Eugene IV continued, "As Dark Canopy descends, the Earth will enter a state of eternal darkness, plunging the entire world into blackness. At that time, it will be the darkest hour for humanity, while the power of the vampires will reach the peak in the darkness." Nathan's eyebrows furrowed, and he slowly said, "It seems the vampires aren't willing to wait helplessly for death. They're planning to fight back."

Eugene IV also expressed his concerns, "Entering eternal darkness, without sunlight and blackness will be everywhere. Let's not even talk about the damage it will cause to crops. Merely being unable to see the light will lead to a human's mental breakdown." "Secondly, we're also worried that if the Dark Canopy descends, will it affect the satellite signals in the sky? If satellite signals are disrupted, the world will enter an era without satellite communication. The majority of our high-tech equipment will be inoperable." Upon hearing that, Nathan could not help but gasp in shock. He finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Nathan was decisive and instructed, "Invite Leopold, Wolfric, and the God of War from all nations immediately for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures."

Soon, Leopold, Wolfric, and other

Gods of War from various countries all arrived one after another. Nathan got straight to the point, discussed the current situation, and said, "According to the latest information we received, the vampires are likely planning to hold an ancient

sacrificial ritual to create a canopy. Please feel free to share any suggestions you may have." When Nathan had just finished speaking, the crowd immediately started arguing.

Some people argued that they should believe in science and that a mere ancient sacrificial ritual could never plunge the Earth into eternal darkness. They claimed there was no need to worry about it. Some people expressed their concerns, believing the arrival of eternal darkness would be akin to the apocalypse. They advocated for waging war against the vampires.

However, those who advocated for war had disputes among themselves, arguing incessantly over how many troops to deploy and which country's troops should go first. The scene was in complete chaos. Nathan could not help but feel headache. After all, that was an alliance composed of hundreds of countries, with each person representing the interests of their nation. Everyone had their own hidden agenda.

Achieving consensus on a matter was truly challenging. Nathan felt continuing to argue like that would be unproductive, so he decided powerful war gods like Leopold and Wolfric needed to express their opinion's first. As long as war gods from strong countries made their stance clear, the war gods from smaller nations would not dare to raise any objections. So, Nathan gently knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention to him.

The meeting room returned to a state of quietness. Under the gaze of the crowd, Nathan took a sip of tea before unintentionally looking at Wolfric and asking indifferently, "Mr. Welz, what do you think?" Wolfric was quite cunning and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Nathan a question as a reply, "Before I give my answer, I'd like to hear your opinions, Commander Cross?"

Nathan pondered for a moment and

replied, "I believe regardless of

whether the vampire's ancient

sacrificial ritual can create the Dark

Canopy, we cannot just sit idly by Nathan continued, "After all, the vampires plan to kill a million innocent humans for their ancient sacrificial ritual. We must condemn and prevent such inhumane actions. So, I propose we immediately wage war against the vampires."
