What? Nathan is back!
Hearing that, Wolfric's expression became peculiar as he secretly heaved a sigh of relief while also feeling somewhat down in the dumps. Nathan was the commander-in-chief of the alliance. With his return, Wolfric was bound to relinquish his command. Moreover, the entire alliance was already highly dissatisfied with him, so even if he did not want to step down, it was unlikely he could hold onto power. The advantage was that the alliance was currently in a mess, having just lost a battle and facing potential attacks from Herod's vampires at any moment.
With Nathan's return, Wolfric could finally unload his burden. Wolfric's expression changed several times before getting out of bed. While getting dressed, he ordered Rockferd, “Tell everyone to gather and welcome Commander Cross.”
Rockferd's eyes darted around for a moment before lowering his head. He did not dare to meet Wolfric's gaze. In a soft voice, he answered, “Admiral Welz, everyone has already gathered on their own initiative to welcome Commander Cross.”
Hearing that, Wolfric's movements froze momentarily, and his face turned grim.
Just how much does everyone detest me? How fervently do they adore Nathan?
However, he also knew that people's loyalty was to Nathan, not him. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and waved his hand, saying, “All right, I understand. Go outside and wait for me.”
With that, Rockferd stepped out. Wolfric dressed neatly and then came out of his room.
At that moment, Eiken, Tyrell, and over ten steadfast War Gods who had been following Wolfric hurriedly arrived. Eiken looked anxious. “Mr. Welz, something bad has happened. Nathan has returned.”
“The return of Commander Cross is a good thing. Why are all of you so flustered? Come, let's go welcome Commander Cross' return together,” Wolfric responded as he glared at Eiken.
Eiken and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing what Wolfric said.
With Nathan's return, you will lose your power, and yet you're not angry at all?
Only the War God of Eagleland, Catherine, could see that Wolfric had recently suffered defeats and was now lacking self-confidence, unsure if he could clean up the mess. Nathan's arrival, to some extent, was a relief for Wolfric. At that moment, Nathan, accompanied by Colin and the Elite Eight, walked into the alliance camp leisurely in his black combat boots.
