Salute To The General

Barok turned pale with astonishment, fighting back desperately.

Boom!

With a roar of fury, he struck with all his might.

The lightsword in hand shone brightly, its sword beam intensifying like a massive sword, ruthlessly cleaving toward Nathan.

Nathan raised his left hand and struck with his palm!

Bang!

The colossal lightsword was shattered instantly by a single palm strike from Nathan.

Amidst the gasps of the audience, Nathan shattered Barok's lightsword and, with a smooth motion, pressed his left hand against Barok's chest. Boom!

Barok was struck like a bolt from the blue.

Spewing a mouthful of blue blood, he fell heavily to the ground, no longer able to resist.

Nathan said coldly, "Tie them both up! I want them to witness our Earth's fleet defeating the gods."

His subordinates behind him unanimously responded, "Affirmative!"

At the same time, the powerful vampire clan members like Sinistral and Max appeared several meters away. They used special shackles to lock up Barok and Digby.

At that moment, Hepburn went to Nathan's side and whispered, "Mr. Cross, why don't we kill the two of them?"

Nathan responded calmly, "These paladins are no simple figures within the Gods clan. Killing them, though it may instill some fear, will also provoke the Gods' hostility and hatred toward us, making them even more determined to fight us to the death. We might as well take them captive! Besides, if the war didn't go well, these captured Gods' generals could still prove useful."

Hepburn found Nathan's words reasonable, so she didn't say anything more.novelbin

Soon, Eve also went over.

She said to Nathan, "Master, we've just interrogated some captured God Warriors and learned that the Crimson Moon Fleet and Steel Wings have already reported back to Divine Realm about their battle with the pirates here. Perhaps the Gods' reinforcements are on their way here. What should we do?"

Nathan frowned after hearing that.

Hepburn suggested, "This place isn't safe. Should we evacuate from Octurn immediately?"

Instinctively, Nathan turned his head to look at Toothless and the pirates.

Toothless quickly spoke up. "Master,

if we need to retreat, we can certainly leave right now. But crew like Rocky, Solo, Bluer, and Octaclaw, their fleets suffered heavy losses because they just finished a battle

with the Gods' fleet. These

majority of the spaceships have been destroyed or stranded. They currently lack the ability to escape from Octurn. So, what do you think? Should we leave first or what?"

Rocky and the others, who had just narrowly escaped death, felt their hearts sink again just as they had started to relax.

Their remaining spaceships were essentially malfunctioning, undergoing urgent repairs.

If Nathan were to leave now, he would leave them behind.

Then, when the Gods' reinforcements arrived, they would undoubtedly meet their end.

At that very moment, their life and death hung on a single decision from Nathan.

For a moment, they all gazed at Nathan with desperate eyes, like gravely ill patients looking at their doctor.

Nathan scanned the space pirates before him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone! You are all here because you accepted Toothless's collaboration. That's why you're trapped here. The danger isn't over yet. Naturally, Toothless and I won't abandon you." The moment Nathan's words fell, the pirates before him were all filled with gratitude.

Octaclaw's eyes darted twice. Usually, he was the most intelligent among the rest. He understood perfectly well that since Nathan had agreed to save them, they needed to show some form of reciprocation.

Hence, he was the first to step forward, declaring loudly, "We've heard from Toothless before about Mr. Cross from Earth. At first, we did have some doubts about Mr. Cross. But upon meeting him today, there's no denying Mr. Cross's character and capabilities are truly beyond words. From this day forward, Octaclaw's Crew and I pledge our allegiance to Mr. Cross, ready to serve under his command!"

Rocky, Bluer, and Solo might not be as clever as Octaclaw, but they were certainly not fools.

Seeing Octaclaw voluntarily offering allegiance to Nathan, trying to get in the latter's good books, they too refused to be left behind, each expressing their stance one after another.

"We, Rocky's Crew, are also willing to pledge our allegiance to Mr. Cross. We kindly ask Mr. Cross to take us in."

"We, Bluer's Crew, are also willing to pledge our allegiance to Mr. Cross. We are ready to be at his beck and call."

"We, Solo's Crew, are also willing to pledge our allegiance to Mr. Cross, ready to face any situation alongside him."

Upon witnessing The Formidable Five's actions, all the other small and medium-sized pirate crews at the scene pledged their allegiance to Nathan.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all eagerly expressed their desire to pledge allegiance to Nathan, to serve under his command.

Nathan was in need of people, so

how could he refuse? With a grin that couldn't be contained, he responded, "Excellent, excellent!

With all of you joining our army toet

overthrow the Gods, our chances of invading Divine Realm and defeating God King have just increased. I hereby promise that after we overthrow Medille, everyone will be able to survive in Divine Realm. No one will need to be a wandering pirate anymore."
