Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3085

Shortly after, Nathan and the others were brought to the square in front of the Curia's headquarters by Daveth.

The square was extremely spacious, capable of accommodating more than a hundred thousand people.

The Curia used that place for its ceremonies and celebrations with the believers as well as for major announcements.

At that very moment, fifty thousand people thronged the square, consisting of five formations of ten thousand men.

They were the Holy Army formed by the Holy Knights of the Curia, and the sight of them standing ramrod straight was awe-inspiring.

There were also many cardinals waiting for Nathan's arrival.

Moreover, there were countless citizens crowding the streets surrounding the square.

Under everyone's curious stares, Nathan ambled into the square.

“Ha!”

“Ha!”

“Ha!”

The moment Nathan appeared, the armored Holy Knights slammed their knightly swords against their shields in unison.

It was majestic, but no one knew whether it was a gesture of welcome or an assertion of dominance.

Daveth sneaked a glance at Nathan, only to notice that the latter seemed unruffled. He found it hard to believe that the other man could remain nonchalant despite seeing the terror-inducing Holy Knights before him.

What Daveth failed to consider was that Nathan, as the Commander-In-Chief of the North Army, was already leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers years ago.

A military parade was a common thing for him to witness.

Furthermore, it would be ridiculous if Nathan were to be awed by a mere fifty thousand Holy Knights.

The head of the cardinals, Milo, led his subordinates over to Nathan.

The first thing Milo did was to make the sign of a cross in front of his chest before whispering amen. Then, he politely said to Nathan, “It is my pleasure to have you visit the Curia, Mr. Cross. I am Milo, the head of the cardinals here. The pope has asked me to come here to lead you into the church personally.”

In an impassive voice, Nathan said, “Please lead the way.”
