Salute To The General

Chapter 3138



Everyone paused and stared at Nathan in confusion after hearing that.

As Colin, Hepburn, and the others followed his gaze and stared into the distance, they saw that a huge number of humanoid creatures had gathered in the city's ruins.

Like wild beasts in the shadows, the humanoid figures were staring at them with bloodshot eyes from a distance.

Upon taking a closer look, they noticed that the figures were incredibly filthy, and most of them were covered in bloodstains.

Their faces were incredibly pale, and sharp fangs were protruding slightly from their mouths.

Bondslaves! They're the lowest class of vampires! There's so many of them!

The look on Hepburn's face changed instantly when she realized what they were up against. "Everyone, be on your guard! We've got trouble!"

Whoosh!

The bishops and hundreds of Holy Knights quickly got into defensive formations.

Each of them gripped their weapons tightly as they nervously waited for the incoming attack.

Colin, Sevan, Elite Eight, and Seven Champions of the North quickly gathered next to Nathan. They were all exuding intense murderous auras as they glared at the bondslaves in the distance.

Nathan had initially assumed the huge and bright flames from burning the bodies had attracted the bondslaves roaming about nearby. However, he soon realized that it wasn't as simple as he thought.

Huh... These bondslaves are surprisingly disciplined. They had us heavily surrounded in just a few seconds, and yet, none of them took the initiative to attack us. It's as though they're waiting for orders from their superior or something. I never knew they could be this organized!

Right as Nathan and Hepburn were contemplating their options, the bondslaves around them suddenly fell on their knees as though they were worshipping someone.

Moments later, a group of elegant and well-dressed nobles appeared before them.

The one leading the vampire aristocrats was a vampire duke named Aaryan.

Aaryan had hundreds of subordinates and followers by his side, which comprised barons, viscounts, and earls.

"Hehe... Your Grace, it is exactly as

you predicted. These humans have delivered themselves to us on silver platter!" said one of the vampires.

Aaryan's lips curled into a faint smile when he saw that everything had gone according to plan.

As he gleefully eyed the hundreds of humans standing before him, his gaze fell upon the Curia's flag which was attached to Hepburn's vehicle.

"Oh? Looks like we've got some fresh meat from the Curia!" Aaryan said with a mocking grin.

That was when he noticed Hepburn standing among the humans.

While he didn't know who Nathan was, he most definitely recognized Hepburn as the Holy Maiden.

What do we have

"Well, well, wet... here? This is Ms. Hepburn, the Holy Maiden of the Curia! Hahaha! Looks like we caught ourselves a big fish! Prince Lux would surely be delighted if I present him with the Holy Maiden!"

Aaryan then turned toward his subordinates and asked, "Which one of you here would like to do the honors of bringing her to me?"

"I'll do it!" said an earl named Hawthorn.

Unlike the other vampires, who looked slim and graceful, Hawthorn had a muscular body and masculine facial features.

His weapon of choice was a sledgehammer as though to complement his physical build and appearance.

Hawthorn then raised his sledgehammer and charged at Hepburn without any hesitation.

The members of the Curia all had tense looks on their faces when they saw that.

Even Hepburn was breathing rapidly out of anxiousness as she prepared herself for combat.

Brenton, on the other hand, was overjoyed when he realized that his golden opportunity to impress the Holy Maiden had presented itself.

"Hmph! How dare you show the Holy

you a lesson!" he shouted
