Salute To The General

Nathan defeated Torii and returned to Toothless' flagship.

At this moment, Nikolette was holding Torii, crying.

The group of Gods around Torii roared in fury, protecting their general. Then, one after another, they drew their lightswords and charged at Nathan. Nathan put away his Snowsphere, drew The Unsullied from his waist, and delivered fierce horizontal slash.

In an instant, Nathan slashed through the three Gods at the forefront, cutting them in half along with their lightswords.

The three Gods, cut in half at the waist, died on the spot.

The other Gods were still trying to rush toward Nathan.

At this point, Toothless spoke up coldly. "Ha! They are bullying our esteemed guest. Do they think our pirate crew doesn't exist? Scarbrow!"

With a stern shout, Scarbrow immediately led a large group of space pirates and rushed forward at lightning speed to confront these elite Gods before him.

Both sides instantly engaged in a fight.

Though the Gods were strong, the warriors of Toothless were not weak either.

And the number of elite pirates far exceeded that of the elite Gods.

The battle didn't last long!

The Gods were killed one after another.

In the distance, the spaceships of Steel Wings that were responsible for surrounding the pirates also noticed that something was amiss.

The commanders of each spaceship were anxiously seeking guidance from the acting commander, Digby.

"Oh no! General Torii has been defeated by the mysterious person. The pirates made a reckless move in desperation and killed all the guards around the general. Commander, what should we do now? Should we open fire?"

At this moment, Digby was extremely anxious, but he knew he couldn't panic. If he, as the acting commander, were to lose his composure, the entire fleet would fall into chaos.

He forcefully calmed himself, loudly

declaring, "No need to panic! General Torii's vital signs are still present. He's not dead, just injured. We can't open fire. It might accidentally harm him and his wife. As long as our fleet surrounds these pirates, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. If they really kill the general, then they'd better be prepared for their total annihilation!"

Upon hearing Digby's words, the commanders of each spaceship finally regained some composure.

Nevertheless, every spaceship in the fleet had its weapon bays open, ready to launch an attack on the pirates at any moment.

In response, the pirates' hundreds of old spaceships also took off, hovering in the air, confronting the Steel Wings fleet-an attitude that screams, "If you dare to fire, we're ready to fight to the death."

At this moment, Nathan and the pirates had already reached the injured Torii.

Torii collapsed on the ground, cradled in Nikolette's arms. The sight of his chest wound was shocking, with copious amounts of blue blood gushing out wildly.

Nathan said calmly, "You lost. Command your fleet to retreat. Also, your two lives shall be exchanged at a great price."

Torii glared at Nathan with hatred. "I won't let you have your way!"

Nathan chuckled.novelbin

Unable to hold back, Nikolette asked, "What is this 'great price' you speak of? What do you want from us in order to let us go?"

Nathan calmly said, "One of you is a high-ranking general of the Gods Air Force, and the other is the general's wife. Given your esteemed statuses, I believe it's not too much to ask for two of your spaceships in exchange for both of your lives, is it?"

Two lives in exchange for two Steel Wings spaceships? Torii was thoroughly infuriated by Nathan.

Ignoring his injuries, he roared at Nathan, "Every member of the Gods is a warrior. There are no cowards who fear death. If I were to betray the interests of the Gods and trade our lives for two spaceships, only would I be bringing shame upon the Gods, but I would also never be able to hold my head high in the Divine Realm again. I would rather choose a glorious death in battle than live a life of humiliation."

Once he finished speaking, he raised his voice to the communication device on his wrist, commanding, "Digby, heed my order. Disregard my life and instruct the fleet to open fire immediately. Show no mercy to the pirates."
