The influential Gods of War of Adrune surprisingly voiced out their support of Nathan.
Wolfric's face contorted even more at that.
Eiken, Tyrell, and others panicked too.
Eiken couldn't help but whisper to Wolfric, “Mr. Welz, what should we do now?”
As soon as Eiken spoke, Wolfric's angry gaze fell on him, causing him to shudder in fear.
Through gritted teeth, Wolfric cursed Eiken, “It's your stupid idea that put me in this embarrassing situation.”
Eiken felt completely aggrieved but dared not say a word as he realized that being Wolfric's lackey was not as great as he thought.
He was not only looked down upon by others but also despised by Wolfric. At this moment, he felt very unhappy.
Nathan shook hands with Catherine and others, thanking them for their support. “Everyone has put aside our differences, work together, and let me see the hope that we can defeat the vampires,” he said with a smile.
Catherine, who had always been in awe of Nathan, blushed and said gently, “We entrust everything to you from now on, Mr. Cross.”
Hendrik, Ferropene's God of War, turned to Nathan and said, “Nathan, I support you as the commander-in-chief of the alliance solely based on the strong power you have shown. But if you fail to perform against the vampires when leading the alliance, I will change my mind at any time.”
Although the other Gods of War did not speak as directly as Hendrik, they shared the same sentiment.
If Nathan failed to continue to perform at his level or if he showed any weak performance against the vampires, these people would not hesitate to abandon Nathan and follow Wolfric again.
Nathan replied calmly, “I will do my best to live up to my conscience and the support of everyone.”
Wolfric saw that the situation was already against him.
Now that so many Gods of War supported Nathan as the commander-in-chief, it would be a real joke if he were to leave with only a few Gods of War.
His expression changed a few times before he forced a fake smile, saying, “Haha, everyone supports you, Nathan. You are truly worthy of your reputation. I'm actually not that insistent on being the commander-in-chief of the alliance. I'm very democratic and open-minded, so I'm willing to give up my position and support you as well.”
Nathan looked at the insincere Wolfric and smiled. “I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous, Mr. Welz!”
Colin deliberately chimed in, “Yes, we couldn't see that before!”
Wolfric was so angry at Nathan's and Colin's words that his face turned red, but he couldn't lose his temper and could only force a smile while hating Nathan from the bottom of his heart.
They faced numerous challenges and unexpected situations, such as the resistance and breakthroughs of the vampires, and the need to mobilize reinforcements.
After a week of planning and deployment, the armies of all the countries finally reached their designated areas according to the original plan, built defensive lines, and surrounded the vampires in the vampire-occupied territory, preventing them from expanding any further.
However, the vampire-occupied territory was too vast, and the vampires were now a massive force numbering in the tens of millions.
Although the human alliance had succeeded in surrounding the vampires, destroying them was a difficult problem.
Who would be the first to attack? How would they destroy the vampires? These were all questions that needed to be addressed.
After all, the human alliance was not as united as they had hoped. Neither the Curia nor Remdik nor Ariarica was willing to send their troops to attack first. Nobody wanted their soldiers to be cannon fodder.
Everyone wanted to conserve their strength and let the enemy countries waste their strength first.
Therefore, the situation remained tense.
Although the human alliance had successfully surrounded the vampires, they had not launched a final attack against them.
