Salute To The General

After the video conference ended, Nathan instructed Colin and Sage, "Starting now, Sage, I want you to keep an eye on every move of the Curia. Report to me immediately if anything happens." Sage said, "Understood!"

Nathan instructed Colin, "Send someone to help me investigate the deal with the vampires making a comeback?"

Colin said, "Understood!"

In the following month, the Earth Alliance actively enhanced its space-detection capabilities and prepared to counter an invasion from the Gods.

However, the Gods seemed to have quieted down, with no further activity.

On the other hand, the vampires on Earth had become increasingly active over the past month.

The vampires frequently appeared in Adrune, with numerous drug cartel groups, pirate gangs, local factions, and even assassin bases or mercenary groups becoming targets of the vampires' attacks.

Moreover, those gangs often met their end overnight, wiped out by the vampires who also drained them of their blood.

Moreover, as the vampires became increasingly active, there were continuous reports of civilians falling victim to their persecution.

Pope Eugene IV, in his daily public addresses, called upon the faithful to join the ranks of the Curia to fight against the vampires.

During that period, the forces of the Curia expanded tenfold.

The battle between the Curia and the vampires was becoming increasingly fierce, with both sides frequently engaging in intense combat, resulting in casualties on both ends.

Due to the fierce battles between the Curia and the vampires, unrest spread among the Adrunian populace. Numerous refugees began to flood into other regions, causing the world to be once again thrown into turmoil because of the vampires.

Nathan never expected that the vampires would blatantly defy his previous prohibition. Not only did they reappear in the human world, but they also unleashed a massacre.

Although the vampires mainly killed those who were unforgivably evil, the turmoil they'd caused had seriously disrupted world peace, leaving countless people homeless and destitute.

Nathan finally reached the end of his patience. He decided to put the matters of the Gods on hold for now and deal with the issues of the vampires first.

Right then, Colin came to report.

Colin told Nathan it was confirmed that the vampires had indeed made a comeback following their investigation.

Every vampire was now obeying Hepburn's orders.

Hepburn was known as the queen among the vampires, and the Curia referred to her as the Fallen Angel.

The turmoil stirred by the vampires was instigated by Hepburn.

Moreover, within the vampires' ranks, there seemed to be many additional elites.

Even if the forces of the Curia were to increase tenfold, they still wouldn't be able to suppress the vampires. Instead, the vampires had ignited warfare in even more regions.

After hearing that, Nathan was both shocked and angry. "Hepburn's strength is just average. How could she possibly convince those kings among the vampires to yield? Also, you mentioned that many mysterious powerhouses have emerged among the vampires. What's all that about?"

Colin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't

know either. According to the

intelligence, Hepburn has grown

stronger. She commands a group of powerfuKand mysterious subordinates, and they pose a significant threat now. Of course, I've also noticed many unfamiliar

powerful elites among th

seems as if the Curia has

Curia. It

inexplicably gained a group of exceptionally strong elites."

At that point, Colin stared at Nathan. "Mr. Cross, the battle between the Curia and the vampires is

escalating. Over at Wallera, they've also suffered several attacks from the vampires. The casualties

exong

the populace are severe, and. significant number of people have been infected with a new type of blood virus, turning them into

bondslaves. Queen Dido has already requested your assistance in

resolving this. Mr. Cross, what

should we do?"

Nathan said in a deep voice, "We can't just stand by and do nothing. This matter is shrouded in mystery. Both the vampires and the Curia seem to have grown stronger, with an inexplicable increase in powerful individuals among their ranks. Moreover, their battles are becoming more and more intense. Let he who created the problem resolve it. Hepburn instigated this chaos. Only by finding her can we understand the actual situation and then quell the fighting. Help me make the arrangements. I need to make a secret trip abroad. I want to meet Hepburn and get an explanation from her."

Colin was taken aback. "Mr. Cross, Hepburn is now the vampire queen. All the vampires are under her command. If you rush off to see her like this, there could be danger."

Nathan calmly said, "I've been walking on thin ice my entire life. Every step I take is filled with danger. If I were to do nothing because of this danger, then I wouldn't be myself. Just do as I command! Right now, only I can have a conversation with Hepburn, and only I have

the potential to quell this turmoil. I must give it a try."

Seeing that Nathan had made up his mind, Colin could only utter, "Understood. I'll go arrange it right away."
