Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1972

“Before I reached the South, I made an agreement with the leader. He promised that I wield the authority to travel through the South as I pleased,” Rax said lowly. “I'm afraid this is more complicated than it appears to be.”

“Mr. Goldstein, are you saying that Nathan has ordered his men to block our boats? Is he trying to force our boats in a certain formation?” Cruel Blade asked curiously.

“I suspect that he's already here,” Rax laughed coldly.

Cruel Blade burst out in uncontrollable laughter when he heard Rax's words. “Master, Nathan is no longer the General of the North. All he has left are empty titles. Now that you are here to seek revenge with such a mighty force of over ten thousand soldiers, it's shocking enough that he did not flee in fear. I can't believe he's trying to block us!”

“Master, I think you might be overestimating Nathan.”

When Cruel Blade finished laughing, a loud yell echoed from the shore. “This is a warning towards the Goldstein family! Our General is here to murder your leader - Rax!”

Cruel Blade's smile disappeared when he heard the shouting, and his eyes widened in shock. “Nathan, that b*stard, he's here to stop us!” He said in a hushed whisper.

“Isn't that good? He's here to meet his death,” Rax laughed and remained unruffled by the threat. “Let's go out and greet him.”

When he finished speaking, Rax strode to the ship's deck confidently.

“Mr. Goldstein!” The group of soldiers on the deck flocked towards Rax and snapped to attention.

All of the boat's decks were packed with soldiers as they floated on the huge river.

Rax shifted his gaze to the shore and saw a wide, overgrown field.

There were countless cars across the sprawling plains, and a large group of men gathered together. He estimated that their numbers were no less than three thousand.

“I'm shocked that Nathan managed to find so many helpers,” Rax laughed cruelly.

Under the faint illumination of the moonlight, Cruel Blade glanced at the horses and men gathered at the riverbank. “Nathan must have been an excellent general. Even though he has lost most of his power, he still managed to gather a group of people to assist him in such a short time.”
