Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1094

Cicero and the rest had eyes that looked like they were about to pop out.

Cicero whipped his head towards Gabriel and angrily reprimanded, "Didn't you say that you have everything under control? You said that you have spoken to the South's leaders, and that we could spill blood as much as we wanted!"

Gabriel replied in a quivering voice, "Yes. I spoke to the governor, Patrick Ward."

Cicero was beside himself with fury. "Then why have the military troops been dispatched?"

Gabriel started to break out in cold sweat, and his body shook like a leaf as he fumbled for words, "I don't know what's going on either. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be happening..."

Just then, Colin Dunne, who was clad in a colonel's uniform and had camouflage paint concealing his features, stepped forward with an intimidating aura shrouding him.

Following closely behind Colin Dunne was Channing Military District's Major General, Franklin Wilson.

The two of them led their respective men and walked towards Nathan in large strides.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Colin saluted and loudly announced, "Two thousand soldiers from the Dragonfury Special Forces have arrived at the designated combat zone. Awaiting for your further orders, commanding officer."

Franklin also saluted Nathan and announced in a clear voice, "Channing Military District's Major General, Franklin Wilson, in position with five thousand soldiers. Awaiting your next order, commanding officer."

Commanding officer!

Cicero was dumbstruck.

Gabriel, Jose and Kevin all had the same stunned expressions.

Even Penny, Benson, Leah and Sean's side of the family were stupefied.

Nathan coldly ordered, "Attention, all troops! Ready your weapons."

More than seven thousand soldiers moved in sync as they loaded their guns.

The sound of the bullets being loaded made Cicero and the rest tremble with their faces turning as white as a sheet.

Nathan gave his next order, "Aim at the enemy!"

Whoosh!

More than seven thousand submachine guns were trained on Cicero and his entourage.

The knights and elite men surrounding Cicero were so terrified that they flung away their weapons and surrendered on the spot.

Gabriel, Jose and Kevin also followed suit.

There were some who went weak-kneed as they stared down the barrel of numerous guns, peeing their pants on the spot.
