Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1884

Meanwhile, Nathan sat in the backseat of his sedan as their convoy of cars moved forward with speed.

His eyes were closed as he wobbled about due to the bumps on the road along the way. No one could tell for sure if he was asleep or simply meditating.

Behind the sedan, three armored SUVs followed closely.

All of a sudden, Nathan opened his eyes sharply and uttered calmly, “Something is wrong.”

Colin, who was in the front seat, frowned and turned to look at Nathan. “Sir, what's wrong?” he asked.

“Our trip has been going too smoothly. Look at

how quiet the roads are!”

Upon hearing Nathan's words, Colin and Trinity, who were driving, widened their eyes.

They were both experienced fighters and knew that the most silent, unassuming corners of the forest were where the fiercest beasts would hide. Similarly, on the battlefields, the place where the enemy would do an ambush would also be eerily quiet.

Nathan peered through the car window and asked, “How long has it been since we have last come across any of the other cars?”

Colin gave Trinity a look.

“Sir, we have been the only cars on the road for at least ten kilometers!” Trinity answered.

Nathan furrowed his brows. “This is the road to the Metro Brimmopolis Airport. There should be more cars. This is not right.”

“There might be road works ahead?” Colin suggested.

Nathan's eyes darkened, and he simply said, “Tell everyone not to let their guards down! Prepare for any danger!”

“Yes, sir!”

Colin promptly relayed the message to the men in the three cars behind them via the walkie-talkie in the car.

All of their car windows were immediately shut tight and their convoy pressed forward with caution.

Moments later, they finally entered the stretch of the road where the Demon Troopers stood by.

Apocalypse, who stood atop the hill along with some of his subordinates, had already spotted the convoy approaching them through his binoculars.

Turning to a subordinate, he said coldly, “Landmines have been planted on the road, right? We'll blow them up once they drive near!”

“Yes, sir!”
