Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3296

Instantly, everyone's attention shifted to Eiken. Eiken gritted his teeth and bravely admitted, “I'm the one who knocked over the table. What about it?”

As he spoke, he pointed at Colin and the others and expressed his frustration, “We came here all the way from the western route battlefield, hungry and exhausted. I asked if they could let us eat first, but they refused. Commander Cross, don't you think I had the right to be angry?” Nathan affirmed with a nod. “What a joke, mediocre abilities but such a temper.”

“Those who knew know you all came back defeated, but if someone didn't know any better, they would think you all won a glorious battle! Coming here showing off as if!”

Although Nathan's words appeared to be directed at Eiken, Wolfric and the others' faces immediately turned red upon hearing them. Nathan's words hit them like a hard slap, landing squarely on the faces of these defeated soldiers, leaving them all feeling their faces burning with humiliation. Eiken was filled with awkwardness and hastily responded, “Commander Cross, you've got it wrong. We didn't come here to show off...”

Nathan inquired with indifference, “If it's not to show off, tell me what is it then?” Eiken was rendered speechless, unable to answer Nathan. Nathan remarked, “We're in the military, in the midst of war, fighting in vampire-occupied territory. As a War God of a nation, have you never learned about the difficulties of logistical supply during external operations and the importance of food for troops in combat?” Eiken's face turned grim, and struggled to find his words.

“I...” Nathan stated coldly, “From what I know, elite forces of any nation are trained to operate in hostile environments with special operations involving eating tree bark, drinking snake blood, and even enduring severe hunger to the point of consuming rotting meat.”

Upon mentioning that, Nathan directed his gaze toward Wolfric and stated, “I've also heard that in your military academy, if any trainee wastes food, throws it away, or vomits it out, the entire class of warriors is obligated to kneel together and lick it clean till every last bit.”

Wolfric reluctantly admitted, “Yes, it is true that Special Forces did implement such methods...” Nathan nodded.

“Very well then.”

“Eiken, since you and the others had wasted the food, I think it's appropriate to impose a little punishment. Why don't you all pick up the food from the ground and eat it all?”

Wait, what!
