Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3293

At the vampires' headquarters in Walund, the capital of Anddasland, Max was still in a state of chaos, staring blankly at everything before him.

Patriarch Herod's study room is actually right before me.

At this moment, Herod sat upright in his chair, but his expression seemed somewhat weary as if he had just been through a great battle. Lyanna came over holding a cup of red liquid and respectfully presented the wine glass to Herod. Herod took the wine glass and leisurely drank the fresh blood in it. His face flushed, gradually regaining his usual radiance. Max finally snapped out of his daze and tentatively asked, “Patriarch Herod?”

Herod placed the wine glass back on Lyanna's tray and waved his hand, signaling for her to step back. Then, he looked at Max and calmly said, “Does it feel like you're in a dream?” Max forced a bitter smile and said, “I was just fighting Nathan on the battlefield, but I don't know how I suddenly ended up in front of you, Patriarch Herod.” Herod replied indifferently, “It was me who saved you and brought you back. If I hadn't stepped in, you'd probably have ended up like Buro and Parkhurst by now.”

Whenever Buro and Parkhurst were mentioned, Max's face would completely change. He fell to his knees with a thud. “Patriarch Herod, I have failed you. I was defeated by Nathan once again, and even my two deputies, Buro and Parkhurst, have been killed by him.” Herod said in a cold tone, “Not just that! The elite warriors of your three clans, along with the troop in the eastern front formed by countless bondslaves, were also defeated by the human Eastern Front Forces led by Nathan.”

Upon hearing this, Max was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Trembling, he said, “I deserve to die. Please punish me, Patriarch Herod. I'm willing to atone for my sins with my death.”

Herod said coldly, “Punishment? Death? Can death turn the tide?” Max lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound. Herod answered himself, “No, it can't! So what's the use of killing you?”

Max was still lying on the ground, motionless. However, there was a rare look of moved gratitude in the depth of his eyes. He was a cold and ruthless person, who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. But this was the first time he had encountered someone who defended him as Herod did. As hard-hearted as he was, he still couldn't help but feel touched at this moment.
