Salute To The General

Bam!

There was a massive explosion when the fists of the two men met. It was like two meteors had crashed onto one another.

When Leopold's fist met Nathan's, he could feel the powerful impact of his opponent's strike, which seemed to carry the sheer force of tsunamis and mountains.

He's simply too strong!

There was a rare trace of panic in Leopold's eyes as his pupils dilated. Immediately after that, the spine-chilling sound of bones cracking rang out. Unable to withstand the impact of Nathan's punch, the bones in the general's right arm shattered completely. His entire arm went soft and was hanging limply on his body.

However, Nathan showed no signs of stopping and launched another punch at Leopold's chest.

Thud!

A sunken hole appeared on Leopold's sturdy chest as Nathan's fist landed on him.

Leopold crashed heavily into the ground, the impact of it caused a crater to appear like an asteroid had hit it.

For a moment, Leopold saw stars in his vision.

Immediately after that, the general was prompted by the simulation system that the match had ended—he had been defeated by his opponent.

Leopold remained in a daze as he stared at the system notification, stunned.

Meanwhile, Gammon and the other spectators who were watching the battle through the screen fell silent in shock.

The image shown on the screen was that of Eurasia's Chief Military Governor standing tall after defeating Leopold with one punch.

The general's broken body remained in the huge crater with smoke rising from the burnt mud within. Sparks could also be seen flickering around the crater.

Everyone who witnessed the entire match knew that Leopold was crushed by Nathan's fist.

However, if one had only seen the ending scene, one would have thought that Leopold had been struck by missiles.

After a brief moment, Gammon was the first to snap out of his daze. With a complicated gaze in his eyes, the president stared at Nathan's virtual self on the screen and said slowly, "Chief Cross is indeed extremely formidable. It's better to have him as a friend than a foe!"

Gammon's words brought everyone back to their senses.

The crowd started chattering among themselves, discussing how strong Nathan was. Given his abilities, it was unlikely that anyone in the world would be his match.

Meanwhile, a few soldiers had already stepped forward and removed Nathan and Leopold's combat suits.

When everyone saw Nathan and Leopold walking toward them, a thundering round of applause filled the air.

The virtual battle between the two men earlier on had completely redefined their understanding of the abilities of the world's top fighters.

Remdikians had always been

regarded as capable fighters who

enjoyed battles and admired

powerful fighters. Their world was one where the strong ruled and would be respected.

Eurasia's Chief Military Governor had won the approval and respect of the Remdikians with the prowess he displayed during the battle.

As for Leopold, even though he had lost, Remdikians still thought of him as an extremely strong fighter.

They did not blame him for the loss as they understood that Eurasia's Chief Military Governor was simply too formidable.

At that moment, Leopold had a

guilty expression on his face, feeling responsible for the defeat. After all, he was Remdik's God of War and

felt embarrassed that he had lost to

an outsider in front of his soldiers.

However, he had to admit that Nathan was indeed stronger than him, beating him fair and square.

Meanwhile, Nathan was feeling rather awkward.

During the combat in the virtual world, his military coat was shattered into pieces by the impact of Leopold's punch, and even a corner of his mask had been chipped off.

That was what got him fired up and decided to go all out in his sparring with Leopold.

The result of it was that he had defeated the general in such an imposing manner.

As such, Nathan felt slightly awkward when he met Leopold and regretted being so aggressive. After all, it was supposed to be a friendly match. However, Leopold was a capable fighter who possessed good sportsmanship.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He quickly regained his composure and strode toward Nathan. Extending his hand, he said, "Chief Cross' combat skills are indeed unparalleled.

I humbly concede defeat."

Nathan shook Leopold's hand and replied with a smile, "After all, the simulated combat is just a game, which can be vastly different from an actual battle. I don't think my actual combat skills are anywhere close to General Remington's."

Well aware that the governor was trying to diffuse the awkwardness for him, Leopold replied, "You're too modest, Chief Cross."

The two men looked at each other while shaking hands before bursting

out into hearty laughter simultaneously.
