Salute To The General

Chapter 3086



If it were someone else who spoke those outrageous words, Milo would have ordered his subordinates to restrain them right away.

However, the man before them was Nathan.

Milo dared not do that. He could only regard Nathan with wariness.

In the end, he uttered, "Mr. Cross, things will not be as simple as you think if you insist on visiting the Curia and meeting our pope in a private capacity, not unless you can advance past the hurdles guarded by the Curia's elites. If you successfully pass the three hurdles we've set up, you can meet our pope."

A chuckle escaped Nathan's lips when he heard the condition. "Not even thirty hurdles will pose a challenge to me, let alone three.”

He's insane! He's such an arrogant man!

Milo glared at Nathan. "Don't be too sure of yourself, Mr. Cross. Those who think too highly of themselves tend to meet a bad end. I'll repeat myself. If you pass the three hurdles, you'll get to meet our pope for a discussion. If you can't, you won't be able to meet him, and you can stop dreaming of having us change our future Holy Maiden. Just accept reality and go home."

Nathan's tone was callous as he answered, “Are you done with your nonsense yet? If you are, let's begin.”

At that, Milo trembled with rage. "You" he snarled but soon choked with fury.

He then stared at the stately Nathan for a while before gritting out, "Fine. It officially starts now. The first hurdle is these fifty thousand Holy Knights before you. If you can get past them and enter the Curia's headquarters, you'll pass the first hurdle."

With that, Nathan looked past the Holy Army to glance at the entrance of the Curia a distance away.

To reach that place, he must get past the Holy Army.

Milo sneered. "Don't worry, Mr. Cross. These Holy Knights will only stop you; they won't kill you. However, if you can't get past this human barricade, then turn and leave. Don't embarrass yourself further."

Before Nathan could say anything in response, Colin, who was behind him, bellowed, "You're winning in nothing but numbers."

He then hollered, "Elite Eight!"

Elite Eight instantly responded in unison, "Here, sir!"

In an even louder voice, Colin ordered, "Open up a path for Mr. Cross!"

"Yes, sir!"

With that, the eight people stepped forward simultaneously.

Even though there were only eight of them, the crowd outside, for a moment, felt as if they were witnessing an army of a thousand soldiers.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Then, the Holy Knights of the Holy Army abruptly moved.

Their five formations of ten thousand people formed a long steel wall, blocking Nathan and his subordinates.

In the next second, Elite Eight lifted their arms and thrust their fists at the Holy Knights.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Promptly, eight of the shields that the Holy Knights lifted were shattered.

Even the eight Holy Knights

themselves were affected. They

staggered several steps backward

as blood trickled from the corners of their lips.

At once, a gap appeared in the steel wall.

However, the Holy Knights were swift to rearrange their positions and fill up that gap.

The steel wall was instantly mended, and the indestructible human barricade was reformed.

Elite Eight was infuriated and startled.

Then, they attacked again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another eight of their opponents were sent flying, but the Holy Knights quickly replaced those eight people with the other knights.

At that, Milo could not help but burst into gleeful laughter. "Nathan, you've got capable. subordinates, but alas, we have fifty thousand knights on our side. By taking turns, the Holy Army is going to tire out your Elite Eight. I'd say you will not even pass the first hurdle, so leave."

The crowd was looking at Nathan with mockery written all over their faces too.

Colin fumed. Right as he was about

path fo

to dive into the fight to open up a his superior himself, Nathan stated, "Colin, the rest of you stand back. I'll do this myself."

The most important rule for soldiers was to obey orders from their higher-ups.

Hence, Colin and Elite Eight promptly retreated behind Nathan.

All eyes were riveted on Nathan as he sauntered toward the Holy Knights with a nonchalant look on his face.
