Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1884

Meanwhile, Nathan sat in the backseat of his sedan as their convoy of cars moved forward with speed.

His eyes were closed as he wobbled about due to the bumps on the road along the way. No one could tell for sure if he was asleep or simply meditating.

Behind the sedan, three armored SUVs followed closely.

All of a sudden, Nathan opened his eyes sharply and uttered calmly, “Something is wrong.”

Colin, who was in the front seat, frowned and turned to look at Nathan. “Sir, what's wrong?” he asked.

“Our trip has been going too smoothly. Look at

how quiet the roads are!”

Upon hearing Nathan's words, Colin and Trinity, who were driving, widened their eyes.

They were both experienced fighters and knew that the most silent, unassuming corners of the forest were where the fiercest beasts would hide. Similarly, on the battlefields, the place where the enemy would do an ambush would also be eerily quiet.

Nathan peered through the car window and asked, “How long has it been since we have last come across any of the other cars?”

Colin gave Trinity a look.

“Sir, we have been the only cars on the road for at least ten kilometers!” Trinity answered.

Nathan furrowed his brows. “This is the road to the Metro Brimmopolis Airport. There should be more cars. This is not right.”

“There might be road works ahead?” Colin suggested.

Nathan's eyes darkened, and he simply said, “Tell everyone not to let their guards down! Prepare for any danger!”

“Yes, sir!”

Colin promptly relayed the message to the men in the three cars behind them via the walkie-talkie in the car.

All of their car windows were immediately shut tight and their convoy pressed forward with caution.

Moments later, they finally entered the stretch of the road where the Demon Troopers stood by.

Apocalypse, who stood atop the hill along with some of his subordinates, had already spotted the convoy approaching them through his binoculars.

Turning to a subordinate, he said coldly, “Landmines have been planted on the road, right? We'll blow them up once they drive near!”

“Yes, sir!”

His subordinates finally wrapped their heads around the situation upon hearing his words.

So Nathan is in a car built for commanders? It is no wonder that even the landmines couldn't damage it!

Apocalypse squinted his eyes and laughed coldly, “Things are still in my favor. I would much prefer to cut his head off personally rather than blow his car up in a boring way. After all, it's more fun to play with someone who resists, isn't it? On my count, we shall proceed with the attack!”

Back on the highway, though the sedan was still intact, its engines had been seriously damaged.

In the sedan, Colin shook his head frantically to fight his nausea and yelled into the walkie-talkie, “We've been attacked! I repeat, we've been attacked! Everybody, get battle-ready! Octo, I want you to report how many enemies you see!”

In the armored SUV furthest behind them, Octo whipped out a bulky black suitcase and initiated the infrared detection device.

As he analyzed the display screen, he replied to Colin in a distraught manner. “We have been

surrounded! About two hundred enemies have been detected. Also, I see two teams of men on stand-by a thousand and two hundred meters in our three o'clock direction and nine hundred meters in our nine o'clock direction. They are very likely to be snipers!”

As Colin listened on, he also opened a black suitcase, revealing weapon parts.

Putting together a sniper rifle, he gave his command. “I'll take care of the snipers. You guys shall tackle the rest!”
