Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3757

Seeing that the matter had finally come to a close, Nathan slowly began to speak. “Lucius, although the final one among the gifts you four sent was an empty box, it still showed me your sincerity. Your treatment as the Four Emperors will remain the same in the future. The Divine Realm will periodically provide you with support in various aspects, allowing your respective territories and planets to develop and prosper. However, the original agreement between you and the Divine Realm remains unchanged. You cannot develop large-scale spacecraft or high-tech weapons, and you certainly cannot massively expand your military. You all have no objections to this, do you?”

Lucius and the others exchanged glances. Although they were somewhat reluctant to accept those terms, they dared not act rashly without figuring out Nathan's true strength.

At that moment, the four of them could only bow in unison. “We are willing to serve God King and continue to abide by the agreement, forever offering tribute to the Divine Realm!”

Nathan smiled. “Excellent! You all should head back to the State Guesthouse and rest for now. I will be hosting a banquet tonight, specifically in your honor. Please make sure to attend on time.”

Lucius and the others said in unison, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

After saying that, the four of them took their leave.

Nathan's gaze fell on Hepburn, Dinko, Moblan, and the others once more. He instructed, “Tonight, a banquet will be held in Divine Palace to entertain the Four Emperors. All of you must attend, and there must be no mishaps.”

“Understood,” Hepburn and the others said in unison.

Nathan left Divine Palace and returned to his office, Hepburn following closely behind.

Hepburn closed the door, sighing softly. “That was close. If I hadn't switched to combat form and forcibly opened the box, I suspect the Four Emperors would have discovered that you haven't recovered from your injuries, Your Majesty.”

“I owe you one for earlier,” Nathan said softly.

Upon hearing those words, Hepburn glanced at Nathan, flicking a strand of hair behind her ear as she playfully retorted, “I am your subordinate. It's only right for a king's subject to share the king's worries. This is all part of my job.”

Nathan made no response.
