Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3185

Although Nathan was the President, it was possible that the nations of Adrune were responsible for improving the vampire's blood virus.

It was important to investigate who was aiding the vampires and improving the virus, and it would be best to involve Adrunians in the investigation.

After a night of thinking, Nathan sent for Eugene IV, Leopold, and Wolfric the next day.

Eugene IV was the first to arrive.

His relationship with Nathan had grown closer recently. He brought a can of tea leaves with him and said with a smile, “This is tea given to me by a friend from Aploth. It's called Golden Tips, and it came from the first original plant. He has been keeping it for decades. It's priceless and can't be bought even if one wants to. I don't have much knowledge of tea, so I thought I would give this to you, Mr. Cross.”

Nathan was surprised to hear that it was Golden Tips from the original plant, which was a truly valuable and rare can of tea leaves that was difficult to obtain even with money.

He smiled and replied, “It's not right to take something that someone else cherishes so much without giving anything in return.”

Eugene IV laughed. “Good things are meant to be enjoyed by those who appreciate them. I don't know how to appreciate it, so it would be a waste for me to keep it. Besides, you've come all this way to support Adrune in our fight against the vampires, Mr. Cross. You're a hero, and it's only right that we offer you something in return.”

Nathan replied with a smile, “You think too highly of me, Pope Eugene.”

Nathan couldn't refuse the gift, so he ended up accepting it.

He then brewed the tea himself, using his expert tea-making skills to make a pot of fragrant and delicious tea, which he shared with Eugene IV.

At that moment, the muscular Leopold knocked on the door and entered. Sniffing, he exclaimed in pleasure and surprise, “What tea is this? It smells amazing!”

Leopold frowned a little.

Eugene IV couldn't help but defend Nathan and retorted, “Wolfric, you're wrong. Many of your own people don't agree with a proactive attack, and many of them are secretly going against Mr. Cross' orders. Nobody wants to use their strength to fight against the vampires. What else can Mr. Cross do?”

Wolfric sat down opposite Nathan and spoke arrogantly. “That doesn't change the fact that he's incompetent. If he had any skills, he would have found a solution to the problem by now. We have surrounded the vampires and trapped them in the vampire-occupied territory, but we can't guarantee that they won't break through our defensive lines at any moment. The blood virus is highly contagious, and who knows how many more people will be infected, how many will become bondslaves, and how many will become the vampires' lackeys.”

Eugene IV was furious. “You're all afraid of losing your own countries' military strength and having too many casualties. All of you are unwilling to send troops to help destroy the vampires. You're all waiting for other countries to act. How can this end well? If you don't cooperate, the vampires will break through our lines, and the blood virus will spread once more. Are we to blame Mr. Cross for that?”

Wolfric snorted coldly. “He's the commander-in-chief of the alliance. If he wants to sit in that position, he has to find a way to deal with the vampire threat and the blood virus. Otherwise, everyone will be living in fear.”
