Salute To The General

As Hepburn and his group arrived at the entrance, they were immediately stopped by Nathan's personal guards.

Hepburn said, "We heard that Mr. Cross has awakened, so we came to visit."

The guard said in an official tone, "I'm sorry, without an order, none of you are allowed to enter."

Just at that moment, Colin exited the room. "Mr. Cross said to let them in."

"Understood!" said the guards before stepping aside.

Soon, Hepburn and his group entered the room.

Nathan was already out of bed, casually sitting in his white loungewear, sipping coffee.

"Greetings, Commander Cross!" Hepburn and the others all bowed together.

Dinko and Moblan also hurriedly followed suit with the salutations.

Although Nathan was quite weak at that moment, he still managed to present himself as if he was recovering well.

He glanced around at everyone, smiling as he said, "There's no need for such formalities, everyone."

Everyone stood up straight.

Hepburn first congratulated Nathan on waking up and cheerfully asked, "How are you feeling now, Mr. Cross?"

Nathan chuckled. "Considering I've slept for a few days, I feel much better now that I'm awake. The doctor said I should be fully recovered in a few days."

Hepburn and the others were unaware of the actual situation, taking everything at face value. The news excited them. They believed Nathan's physical strength was extraordinary, seeing he recovered quickly despite his injuries.

As for Dinko and Moblan, they were frowning a bit, especially Moblan.novelbin

They were hoping to see how badly Nathan was hurt during that visit.

If Nathan was seriously injured, then there was still hope for the Gods to restore their kingdom. Moblan could seek out a way to eliminate Nathan, allowing the Gods to rise again.

Yet, he just learned that Nathan's recovery was going well.

It made his heart sink quietly.

At that moment, Nathan's gaze also fell on Dinko and Moblan.

He deliberately asked, "Who might these two be?"

Hepburn immediately introduced, "These two are highly respected figures among the Gods. This is the representative of the God Paladins Dinko. This gentleman is the representative of the God Literati and of the prestigious families, Moblan. They played a leading role in the Gods' surrender."

Upon hearing Hepburn introduce them, Dinko and Moblan bowed in unison to express their respect for Nathan.

Nathan gave a slight nod, offering a two-word assessment. "Not bad!"

Hepburn turned her head, looking at Dinko and Moblan, and casually said, "Didn't you two mentioned that you have important matters to discuss with Mr. Cross?"

Everyone's gaze fell on Dinko and Moblan.

Dinko lowered his head and said, "I'll let Mr. Moblan speak."

Moblan was left with no choice but to brace himself. He stepped forward and respectfully said to Nathan, "The war has ended, but Divine Realm cannot be without a king for even a day."

Moreover, having been through the

baptism of war, many things and

ovel

races of Divine Realm need a king to lead. There has to be someone helming the rebuilding of their homelands and re-establishing order After much deliberation among us, the Gods, we unanimously agree that only Mr. Cross is fit to become the God King. Thus, General Dinko and I have come here to invite you, Mr. Cross, to Divine Palace. We wish for you to

be crowned king and receive the worship and loyalty of all the races in Divine Realm."

Hepburn, along with two representatives from the Gods, had already taken the lead in nominating Nathan as the God King.

She immediately seized the opportunity to express her stance. "I, too, support this move. I request that Mr. Cross be crowned as king."

Dido, Eve, Toothless, Solo, and the others were not to be outdone. They all chimed in together, "We request Mr. Cross to be crowned as king!"

Nathan had already learned about that matter from Colin earlier.

However, he was the commander-in-chief of Earth Alliance.

Even though he had conquered Divine Realm, there wasn't even time to share the good news with Earth. As such, he felt inappropriate to proclaim himself as the king of Divine Realm at that moment.

He was about to decline when Colin

was already whispering in his ear, "Mr. Cross, you can't refuse. Though the Gods have been defeated, they still harbor a heart of rebellion. Even for the likes.of Toothless and Solo, who recently joined us, we still need to be on guard. You wouldn't need to be afraid if you weren't seriously injured. With your extraordinary martial prowess, you could naturally suppress them. However, right now, your body is still injured, and your strength has not fully recovered. Therefore, it'll be best to accept their suggestion and be crowned as king. This will stabilize people's hearts and also quell any rebellious intentions these guys may have."

Upon hearing Colin's whisper, Nathan realized that what Colin said made a lot of sense.

He had no choice but to agree. Looking at Hepburn and the others before him, he nodded and said, "All right, I'll let you all choose the day. I will accompany you all to Divine Palace to be crowned king and receive the allegiance of all the races in Divine Realm."
