Salute To The General

His face turned grim, and he glanced at Nathan uncertainly. "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Nathan pulled out a white handkerchief, his hand trembling slightly as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. In a soft voice, he said, "I've received word that someone claims you've betrayed me. It was you who informed the Four Emperors about my itinerary. It was you who told him that I had been injured and hadn't recovered since my battle with Medille. It was you who instigated the Four Emperors to assassinate me..."

Max's eyes widened instantly. Frustrated, he said, "Who said that?"

Nathan's tone was rather calm as he asked indifferently, "Don't worry about who said it. You just need to answer me. Did this really happen?"

Max exclaimed loudly, "No! Absolutely not! This is slander against me by those with malicious intentions! Someone is trying to sow discord between us, Your Majesty. I hope you see this clearly. Especially now that you're injured, there are many people who can't wait for something bad to happen to you. They're eager to divide us outsiders and take us out one by one! Your Majesty, you mustn't be deceived."noveldrama

Nathan glanced at Max, speaking calmly. "I was just asking about your situation. Don't be too anxious. Since you said that's not the case, let's set this matter aside for now. There's another matter I want to ask you about!"

Max lowered his head, his eyes darting around restlessly, his expression a mix of shock and unease.

"Feel free to ask me anything, Your Majesty. I will certainly respond truthfully."

Nathan nodded slowly, then asked, "Last night, when the Four Emperors attacked me, the Gods guards of the sanctum rushed to my aid upon hearing the news. Later, they even joined in the pursuit of the Four Emperors. As a result, the sanctum's defenses were left vulnerable, and a mysterious troop seized the

opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the sanctum. Based on the Gods' response, the mysterious individuals who were ruthlessly killed at the scene were all from the vampire clan. Moreover, they

seemed to be from your first

vampire clan army, Scarlet Land.

You owe me and the Gods an explanation for this matter, don't you?"

Max feigned surprise. "Really?

Something like that happened? Your Majesty, I will certainly conduct a thorough investigation upon my return. Regardless of whether these subordinates acted out of hatred for the Gods, committing such lawless acts, or for any other reasons, I don't care. I will certainly punish them severely to give you a satisfactory explanation."

Upon seeing Max's nonchalant demeanor, Nathan decided to absolve himself of any involvement in the covert attack on Snowcrest Sanctum.

He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, his voice slightly raised.

"Max, the people who attacked the

sanctum were all your trusted subordinates. Without your orders, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing, would they? Moreover, you have consistently defied my

prohibitions, always finding various excuses to harm the Gods. The number of Gods you have

decimated and slaughtered is countless. Moreover, there were allegations against you, claiming that after you killed members of the Gods, you held a blood feast using their fresh blood, all with the intention of becoming stronger. This time, the sanctum was attacked, and Medille's frozen body was moved out to draw blood. It couldn't have been you who orchestrated this, could it? Were you planning to use Medille's blood to become stronger? What are your true intentions?"

Max's secret was piercingly exposed by Nathan's incisive words, causing his face to dramatically change color.

However, perhaps it was because he saw Nathan seriously ill as soon as he entered the room, coupled with the fact that he had consumed Medille's blood, which had made him stronger, that he wasn't particularly afraid now.

Out of character, he held his head high and puffed out his chest, boldly meeting Nathan's gaze. With a loud and forceful voice, he retorted, "Your Majesty! I wouldn't claim responsibility for something I didn't do. No one can tarnish my reputation, not even you. I won't stand for it."

Nathan clapped his hands. "All right. I'll make sure you're thoroughly convinced. Bring in Markell, the survivor of the sanctum attack," he ordered. "Let Markell confront Max face to face."
