Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3420

The major leading the team was named Declan Cross.

Declan saluted Nathan. “Greetings, Chief Cross. We are here on orders to apprehend the enemy spies who have infiltrated our ranks.”

Glancing at the bodies of Holmes and his companions nearby, Nathan said indifferently, “These spies ran into me. I've killed quite a few of them, but a few have taken Ms. Hepburn away. We need to pursue and rescue her immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Declan was surprised and quickly responded, “Yes!”

A few more cars soon arrived, and several cardinals stepped out.

They asked Nathan uncertainly, “Mr. Cross, where is the Holy Maiden?”

With a serious expression, Nathan revealed, “We have been attacked by the enemy's secret agents. When I was battling the secret agents, someone kidnapped Ms. Hepburn. I'm currently dispatching people to investigate and rescue her.”

What?

The cardinals were stunned.

One of them exclaimed, “How could something like this happen? Who would dare to do this to her?” He looked visibly upset.

Nathan looked at the bodies of Holmes and the others. “According to the information I just obtained, these guys are all from Ariarica.”

The cardinals finally noticed the bodies of Holmes and others.

They believed Nathan but were consumed by worry for the imperiled Holy Maiden. Their anxiety reached a fever pitch. They beseeched Nathan with urgency, “Mr. Cross, we implore you to spare no effort to rescue the Holy Maiden. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain things to Pope Eugene upon our return.”

Nathan said, “Rest assured, Ms. Hepburn is my friend. I can't shirk responsibility for what happened in my territory. I will send my men to rescue her.”

The cardinals exchanged a few words with Nathan before hastily departing.

They had to report the matter to Pope Eugene and mobilize their own strength to intensify the rescue efforts for Hepburn.

Meanwhile, back at the Curia, Eugene IV was engaged in his customary daily prayers before the divine statue.
