Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3353

Helen, standing next to Stone of Lives, flashed a smile at Herod.

Herod stood still in a daze, feeling as if he had returned to the days when he first met and fell in love with Helen.

All of a sudden, a flash of a blade flitted across his eyes, and all the illusions around disappeared.

Nathan's figure reappeared before Herod. Nathan brought down his sword at breakneck speed.

Swoosh!

Herod's massive head was severed by Nathan, and it flew high into the air while his headless corpse stood rooted in the spot, spouting a column of blood from its neck.

The blood mist dispersed in the air, forming clusters of small red flowers akin to the red spider lilies that grew beside the Styx.

The surrounding vampire elites were completely dumbfounded when they saw Herod being killed.

One by one, they shifted their attention to Nathan in shock and fear, as if doomsday had arrived.

Thud!

Herod's headless corpse collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, a charming figure approached.

The newcomer was none other than Helen.

Helen looked at Herod's body with complex emotions in her gaze and uttered slowly, “You're finally dead. I've been waiting for this day to come for so long. I just never expected that when this day is finally here, I don't feel the anticipated pleasure of revenge. All I'm feeling now is an endless sense of loss and confusion. You may rest for eternity now, Herod.”

The surrounding vampires stared blankly at Helen, not understanding what relationship the mysterious female vampire had with the Patriarch, Herod.

Helen looked up at Nathan, who was giving off a murderous aura, and said, “Thank you, Nathan. You've avenged me. As a vampire, you have successfully challenged the king of vampires. From this moment on, you will automatically become the newly crowned king of the vampires. Congratulations. I suggest you look out for yourself too.”

With that, she turned around and left, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

At that moment, the Dark Canopy in the sky began to lose its effect with the death of Herod.

Max and the rest of the vampire princes also knelt.

In unison, they declared, “We willingly submit to the king, and we'll go where you want us to go. If you, our king, command us to die, we dare not live on in degradation.”

Not far away, those vampire dukes, marquises, Earls, and other members of the royalty followed suit upon witnessing that.

One after another, they said, “Greetings, Your Majesty. If the King wishes us to live, we shall live. If the King wishes us to die, we shall die. Please, give us your command, Your Majesty.”

This time, it was Nathan's turn to be dumbfounded.

He held a sword in his hand, but facing these vampires, who were ready to sacrifice themselves, he just couldn't bring himself to deliver the strike. It was as if something was holding back his blade.

His expression darkened. “Do you really think that this will stop me from killing you? You're being incredibly naive.”

Andalex knelt on one knee, lifting his head to look directly at Nathan, and uttered solemnly, “Your Majesty, we are serious. If you want us to die, you won't even have to execute us in person. All you need is to command us to die, and we will immediately abide by killing ourselves.”

The vampires on the scene unanimously declared, “If Your Majesty wishes us to die, we will take our own lives immediately.”
