Salute To The General

All the Gods of War, regardless of whether they were from Aploth or Adrune, lauded Nathan.

Bitterness rose in Wolfric's heart at the sight of that. Nevertheless, since Nathan prioritized the interests of the affected citizens and had declined to vie for the position of commander-in-chief, naturally, it went to Wolfric. Hence, Eugene IV announced that Wolfric, the War God of Ariarica, would be the commander-in-chief of the alliance between the hundred nations.

Following that, they selected three deputy commanders. Predictably, the positions went to Nathan, Leopold, and Eugene IV.

Once the lineup of commanders was complete, they quickly moved on to the next stage of deploying their forces.

After careful deliberation among the commanders, they decided unanimously that the vampires were a major threat. If they were to defeat the vampires, the first order of business was to cut off any help the latter had been getting. In that case, that meant the werewolves aiding the vampires in their atrocious deeds.

Back when the outbreak of the blood virus started and the vampires had gone on a rampage, Raytor had led a large group of werewolves to launch attacks on the cities in Adrune. Now, they had occupied five human cities at the top of the mountains. Therefore, the allied forces planned to eradicate the werewolves before attacking the vampires.

"As the commander-in-chief, I must conserve my energy for the battle against the vampires, the Patriarch, and the thirteen vampire princes. So, who's willing to go and deal with the Alpha Wolf?" Wolfric deliberately asked as he gazed at his three deputy commanders. Leopold was among the best in combat prowess among the Gods of War from the hundred nations and arguably one of the strongest Gods of War among humans. His subordinates included Rogan and other warriors from Remdik, all of whom were excellent in combat. Nonetheless, he ignored Wolfric's question and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to respond. I don't want to be the vanguard, nor do I have any wish for Wolfric to send me out and end up exhausting my energy. Everyone knows just how difficult it'll be to take on the werewolves. If Wolfric isn't willing to get involved, neither am I.

As for Eugene IV, he did not mind going were it not for the fact that the Curia had recently sent out most of its elite fighters. Raytor is too strong. Even if I wanted to send our men to deal with him, there's nothing much I can do.

In the end, everyone's gazes fell upon Nathan. Isn't he here to preserve the peace and defeat the vampires and werewolves? In that case, he won't mind leading that attack, nor will he be worried that it'll deplete his strength.

Seeing that nobody was willing to undertake the task, Nathan remarked indifferently, "Judging from the deafening silence, it appears that this task is a hot potato. However, if everyone shies away from it, we can forget about putting an end to the dark clan's rise." "Then you should be in charge of it, Mr. Cross. What do you say? I won't ask for much. All you need to do is get rid of the Alpha Wolf, Raytor," Wolfric piped up immediately in a blatant provocation. "As long as you emerge triumphant, we can send troops to subdue the werewolves who've taken over the cities."

When the others heard that, their

hearts lurched. They knew it was not

that easy to kill the Alpha Wolf. Not

only would he have numerous of the werewolf clan's top fighters protecting him, but he was also terrifyingly powerful. Trying to kill Raytor while the werewolf clan's army was guarding him would be no less difficult than defeating the entire army.

Before Nathan could respond, Colin stepped forward from behind him. Colin said to Wolfric scathingly, "You were the one who insisted on being the commander-in-chief, yet when you encounter a challenging situation, you want others to take care of it for you. Are we supposed to let you reap all the benefits while Mr. Cross does your dirty work? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Sure, Mr. Cross can go and kill the Alpha Wolf. However, should he succeed, you must step down and relinquish your title as commander-in-chief."

Incensed by that remark, Wolfric said to Nathan, "Very well. Should you and your soldiers from Eurasia succeed in eliminating Raytor without relying on help from the other Gods of War, I'll willingly hand over the position of the commander-in-chief to you."

Nathan was amused to see how enraged Wolfric was by what Colin said. He smiled and replied, "Mr. Welz, this is an important matter, so you shouldn't act impulsively."

However, Wolfric was already all worked up. He snorted coldly and replied, "This isn't me acting impulsively. I'm being serious. If you can get rid of the Alpha Wolf once and for all, it doesn't matter if I have to step down. I certainly have the courage to keep to my word, and that's a promise."

In truth, Wolfric was not entirely

enraged. He had a plan of his own.

The way he saw it, no matter how powerful Nathan was, he would never be able to get past tens of. thousands of the werewolf clan's

warriors to kill Raytor. If he agrees to the task, he'll surely die at the werewolves' hands, and that's precisely what I want.

Although Nathan could tell that Wolfric harbored ill intentions, he smiled, saying, "Okay. I'll lead my forces to kill Alpha Wolf. If I fail, I'll die without any regrets. And if I succeed, I'll take over your position."
