Nathan Cross is the God of War?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It was especially the case for Cicero's remaining men, who were desperately backing away in fright.
The God of War had once single-handedly pulverized the Coalition Army, spilling blood that could dye a whole river red, and leaving a pile of bodies from eighteen nations.
Cicero's men were evidently scared witless when they were struck by this revelation.
Cicero recovered from his initial shock and refuted loudly, "He can't possibly be the God of War! The God of War is the General of the North. He should be in the North commanding his troops, so why would he appear in the South? Furthermore, if he is the General of the North, why would he be dressed like a commoner? And why is he not protected by his army? He's definitely not the God of War!"
After Cicero said that, his men, as well as
Gabriel and the rest, were put at ease.
Cicero turned to look at Nathan with eyes that revealed mixed feelings. "I admit that you're very skilled! But there are hundreds of elite men under my command. I don't believe that you can kill all of them on your own. Today is the day you die!"
Then, he turned towards the remaining of the Twelve King's Knights, and also his royal elite army of a hundred fighters whom he had handpicked to follow him here. In an authoritative voice, he said, "This man killed William, the Fierce Four, and also four knights! What do you think we should do about that, my loyal warriors?"
Almost immediately, hundreds of his elite fighters chanted, "Kill, kill, kill...”
In an instant, their combined voices filled the air with murderous intent.
Gabriel and his associates looked at each other and silently agreed that it was time they pledge their loyalty to their 'sovereign', as well as to gain his favor.
Gabriel was the first to stand up. He shot Nathan and the Smith's a cold look before announcing, "The Lambert's are willing to help Mr. Trumbo eliminate Nathan Cross and the Smith's, to avenge William!"
Jose didn't hesitate either as he gestured for his men to stand with him and he declared, "The Jackson's are also willing to offer Mr. Trumbo our aid."
Kevin also brought forth a large number of men and yelled fervently, "The Lockhart's from the East are willing to fight for Mr.
Trumbo."
All the big figures at the scene came forward one after another, showing that they willing to fight for Cicero Trumbo.
Penny and her family instantly paled as fear snaked into their hearts.
It wasn't just Cicero Trumbo who wanted to destroy Nathan and the Smith's. Many big figures from the South and the East also wanted to be a part of this, aligning themselves with Cicero to declare war against the Smith's.
