Salute To The General
Chapter 3274 Ambushed

Upon hearing this, Colin and Hepburn, along with others, were greatly surprised. Hepburn couldn't help but ask, "Commander Cross, are you perhaps overthinking things? General Leopold's thirty thousand frontline forces have been winning battle after battle, and they're

about to reach the gates of Kushburn. How can you suddenly say he's in danger?"

The rest of the War Gods also looked at Nathan with bewildered expressions on their faces. Nathan said, "Vampires aren't that easy to deal with. The fact that Leopold faced no obstacles and achieved consecutive victories made me a bit suspicious. Take another look at the map. This is the Hellfire Canyon. The canyon is narrow, and Leopold's lone army ventures deep within. Doesn't entering this confined canyon feel like walking right into a trap?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the War Gods present at the scene subtly changed. Nathan continued, "Let's say the vampires had deliberately shown weakness before, luring Leopold and his isolated army deep into their territory. If so, when Leopold enters Hellfire Canyon, he will be surrounded by the vampires, trapping him inside Hellfire Canyon. If that is the case, it's impossible for Leopold to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Hepburn and the others' expressions changed dramatically. Everyone realized that something was wrong, and they all sensed that Leopold's situation had become dangerous. Hepburn couldn't help but ask, "Commander Cross, could it be that you're overthinking this? Perhaps the vampires are simply too weak."

Nathan sighed. "I hope so too, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. General Remington is not only the frontline of our Eastern Front Forces, but he is also our alliance's Deputy Commander. If something untoward happens to him, not only will our Eastern Front Forces' morale be severely affected, but even the entire alliance, and even the entire human world, will be seriously impacted upon learning this news." Hepburn and the others became anxious. "Commander Cross, what should we do now?"

Nathan pondered for two seconds before slowly saying, "Dark Canopy not only plunged the Earth into Eternal Darkness, but even satellite signals have disappeared. We can no longer notify Leopold to be cautious through the radio, so we must urgently send a messenger to inform him." At this point, Nathan said, "Colin."

Colin replied, "Yes!"

Nathan instructed, "Send someone immediately to catch up with Leopold's frontline forces at full speed. Warn him to be cautious and not to advance recklessly. Tell him to wait for the main army to join him." Colin responded, "Yes!"

Nathan continued, "Additionally, instruct Hydra Brigade, Tiger Brigade, and Rose Brigade to rest and reorganize briefly before continuing their journey. They should march on urgently with me to Hellfire Canyon to support Leopold and prevent any unforeseen incidents from befalling him."

Colin, Sevan, and Shadow Widow simultaneously replied, "Yes!" Hepburn and dozens of other War Gods all looked at Nathan simultaneously, asking, "Commander Cross, what about us?"

Nathan said, "Follow the plan. Rest and reorganize here for the night. Tomorrow, we'll continue our march." Hepburn asked worriedly, "As the commander-in-chief, can you really lead thirty thousand warriors alone on a night march to reinforce General Remington? How about the entire army doesn't rest and regroup, but instead, we march on urgently with you?"

Nathan shook his head. "There's no need for that. We've just entered the vampire-occupied territory, and it's not necessary to exhaust everyone right from the start. We still need to rest when we can. Leave the task of aiding Leopold to me. Besides, as you just mentioned, it's possible that I'm just overthinking things. The vampires might not be that cunning and know how to feign retreat and ambush our frontline forces. I'm just going to provide support as a safety measure."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped talking and acted according to Nathan's instructions. An hour later, Nathan led Hydra Brigade, Tiger Brigade, and Rose Brigade, leaving the main army and marching quickly to the aid of Leopold. What Nathan didn't know was that, as he led thirty thousand warriors to rush to Leopold's aid, Leopold had already encountered danger.

At this moment, under Leopold's leadership, thirty thousand Infernal Warriors, fueled by the momentum of victory and disregarding their exhaustion, plunged headfirst into the Hellfire Canyon. Their goal was to pass through the canyon and directly attack Kushburn. What Leopold never could have expected was that as his troops ventured deep into the Hellfire Canyon, they reached a break in the canyon. Suddenly, a scout hurriedly came to report that numerous vampires had appeared up ahead. Before Leopold could speak, another scout suddenly rushed over with a panicked expression on his face, trembling as he said, "General Remington, this is bad news. A large number of vampires have appeared behind us as well. We're surrounded by the vampires and trapped within the Hellfire Canyon." In the end, Leopold was Remdik's God of War and a world-famous general. Upon hearing this, he realized that he had fallen into a trap, and his expression suddenly turned extremely unsightly. It could be said that he played with fire long enough and got burned.
