Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1953

Thomas dropped all pretext of courtesy. He leaped towards Morgoth and swung his fist.

The punch was so deadly that it left a whistling sound in its wake. It is clear that he was no ordinary fighter.

Thomas's men cheered him on.

“Awesome!”

Thomas was caught off guard by the speed of his opponent.

Before he had time to react, Morgoth snapped his wrist violently.
