Salute To The General
Chapter 2792

The thousands of torch-bearing werewolves, carried by hundreds of wooden boats, speedily approach the cruise ship.

Colin was a legendary marksman with the eyes of an eagle.

Hence, when he, too, saw the werewolves sailing the fleet of wooden boats, he exclaimed in shock and anger, "D*mn it! Werewolves! I didn't expect them to dare come here. It looks like they have not learned their lesson at all." Werewolves?

Meanwhile, when Jurgis, Didier, and all their subordinates heard that the legendary werewolves were fiercely bearing down on them, their initial shock quickly turned into mass panic.

Cries of despair began to echo through every corner of the ship.

Nathan sneered, "Quiet, all of you! What are you panicking about? Does panicking solve the problem? Will it alleviate the danger in any way?"

Nathan's status and the terrifying combat prowess he displayed earlier filled his voice with gravitas.

He had barely spoken when the crowd

fell silent.

He added, "Since none of you are fools, I'm sure you're aware that panicking doesn't help and would only make things worse. Therefore, you had better listen to my instructions. As long as we resist them calmly, I guarantee that most of you will survive. Do you have any problems?"

Didier was the first to speak. "Mr. Cross, my crew and I are willing to obey you."

Nathan then turned to the kneeling Jurgis.

Quivering the moment he made eye contact with Nathan, Jurgis quickly responded, "I'm willing to obey you too, Mr. Cross."

Just as he spoke, he turned toward all his men, regardless of whether they were injured or not, and declared, "In the face of the looming danger, we'll be under Mr. Cross' command. Whoever disobeys, I will not let you off the hook when we return, even if Mr. Cross and the werewolves don't kill you."

Jurgis' subordinates, especially those that were unhurt, exchanged glances before declaring their stance, "We're willing to take orders from Mr. Cross."

Nathan acknowledged in an indifferent tone, "Very good!"

"Ava, you and four of the Elite Eight stay with Penny inside. No matter what happens, do not come out."

Ava responded, "Yes, President Cross!"

Even though Penny was worried about Nathan, she knew that, in her pregnant state, staying would just make her a burden.

As a result, despite her overwhelming reluctance, she headed into the ship to hide, escorted by Ava and four of the Elite Eight.

Nathan ordered again, "Didier, stay inside the cabin with your men and bolt the door behind you. After that, whoever can bear arms should do so and kill any werewolf that breaches the cabin."

Didier responded, "Yes, Mr. Cross!"

Soon, Didier and his crew swarmed into the cabin and barricaded the door from the inside.

In turn, Nathan instructed Jurgis' men, "Spread yourselves around the cabin and kill any werewolf that comes close. Only then will you have a chance to survive."

However, some of Jurgis' men were dissatisfied with Nathan's arrangement and protested, "Your wife and the Eurasian sailors are hiding inside, while all of us are staying on the deck to protect them. This isn't fair at all."

Jurgis glanced at Nathan. In truth, he, too, was upset over the arrangement but didn't dare show his disapproval.

Staring coldly at Jurgis and his men, Nathan flatly explained, "The undefeated North Army of Eurasia has a famous tradition. In times of danger, officers will stand in the vanguard, followed by experienced soldiers and, in turn, new soldiers. Therefore, my men and I will man the first line of defense on the deck while you take the second line. Lastly, the ship's crew and women will be hiding at the back. If you have any objections, I'm happy to switch places with you. You can be the first line of defense on deck and intercept the werewolves' first attack."

The suggestion scared the daylights out of Jurgis and his men.

If they were to stand in the first row, they would just end up as cannon fodder.

In contrast, hiding behind Nathan was significantly much safer.

Hence, he answered at once, "Mr. Cross, please don't be angry. My subordinates just don't know any better. Do ignore them. We'll go along with your plan."
