The system snorted coldly, “You still don’t believe me! I’m your system, so I know your situation the best.”

“Shut up!”

‘This system… Praise it even a little and it gets into its head.’

The situation had only just begun. The soldiers soon surrendered to Lei Yuan, and the scene left Eisen staring in surprise.

What ability did Lei Yuan have that could make the enemy submit to him in an instant?!

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and run!”

They were not out of the woods yet, what were these idiots doing?

However, in that instant, the general realized what was going on and gave an order to those who had not been ensnared by Lei Yuan’s Charm. “Hurry up and take him down! Otherwise, none of you shall live!”

With this order, some of the soldiers that had been idling in the rear instantly sobered up and aimed their spearheads at Lei Yuan. Seeing this, Lei Yuan felt that running away like this was not a solution.

A large group of people running away together was not conducive to their movements.

And to make matters worse…

There was also Eisen, this unreliable teammate. Who knows if he might pull some kind of trick halfway and doom the whole team!

After thinking for a moment, Lei Yuan threw Lotti to Eisen. This action surprised everyone.

“Hey! What are you doing?”

Caught off guard, Lotti instinctively hugged Eisen’s neck, but then she pushed him away with a look of disgust.

The person she liked was Lei Yuan, not this stupid knight!

“Eisen, take Lotti and all the soldiers and leave first. I will deal with the enemy.”

As long as he arranged for these two burdens to stay away, he would be free to deal with the enemy as he wished. He might even have more flexibility over this.

However, what Lei Yuan did not expect was that his actions caused a misunderstanding between Eisen and Lotti.

They thought that Lei Yuan was doing this to protect them; they thought he was sacrificing himself for the others and using his life to cover for them.

Eisen was especially touched.

To think that he used to think that Lei Yuan was not a good person. And yet, he was using his life to protect them! If he continued to think that way, where would his conscience be?

“Warrior Lei Yuan, I will not abandon you. We will face the danger together!”Eisen put Lottidown and looked at Lei Yuan with a sincere gaze.

‘What?’Lei Yuan was stupefied.

Why did this knight never play by the rules? Did he not hate Lei Yuan very much before? He often acted alone and did not listen to Lei Yuan, yet at this moment, Eisen was actually willing to brave danger with him.

Lei Yuan remained wary. He did not forget that this Eisen Knight was good at slowing down their progress. If he stayed behind, it could disrupt Lei Yuan’s plan.

“I’ll stay behind, too! Although my magic power is sealed right now, I can still help!” Lotti suddenly said. “I didn’t become my country’s ambassador just because of my talent.”

“Uh…”Lei Yuan shook his head in disagreement. “No, you have to leave first. Only when you’re safe can this mission be considered a success.”

No matter what, he had to ensure Lotti’s safety.

“But we can’t leave you behind!”Eisen revealed an excited expression. It was completely different from the look he wore earlier when he looked down on Lei Yuan.

“We are a team. If you don’t come back safely, this operation won’t be a complete success. I will face the enemy together with you!”

Lei Yuan was speechless.He hesitated when he saw Eisen’s high spirits.

However, the stupid things that Eisen had done before still lingered in his mind, and Lei Yuan was still a bit worried.

However, Lotti agreed with the knight. “It’s settled then! You came to save me, so I can’t just leave you all behind!”

This was the first time Lei Yuan had felt such unity in the team.

‘Maybe… I can give it a chance.’

However, before Lei Yuan could respond, the general launched an attack.

“Are you guys ignoring me?!”

He was leading his soldiers in pursuing them, but they were saying such touching words to each other and completely ignoring him!

Lei Yuan and the others immediately realized this and prepared for battle once more.

The opponent was still very strong, but this time, everyone was no longer afraid.They felt an unprecedented boost in their morale that was high and strong.

“Warrior Lei Yuan, Knight Eisen, I believe that you will definitely win! Now that our team is united, we won’t lose to them.”

At this moment, Lotti had great admiration and respect for Lei Yuan.

He had gone through countless hardships to save her… without any regard for how she treated him in the past…

This meant that she had not misjudged him! Lotti suddenly wanted this man even more.

Lei Yuan wanted to say something, but he suddenly received a system notification.

[Charm and Worship Points have increased greatly!]

‘They increased in this kind of situation?’

“Host, you don’t have to worry. The values of these two attributes have increased quite a bit. You will definitely be fine in this battle!”

‘How much is “quite a bit”?’ Lei Yuan did not know the numbers, so he was still uncertain.

But when he saw all the soldiers looking at him with admiration, Lei Yuan’s heart gradually calmed down.

It was not just the soldiers on his side. In the next moment, the small group of soldiers who had not yet surrendered to him went to his side to swear their loyalty.

“Humph! There’s no real skill in using numbers to bully us. How about a one-on-one fight with me? If you win against me, I’ll let you go.” The general suddenly smiled strangely.

‘A duel?’ Lei Yuan laughed mockingly. “You’re one to talk. Didn’t you bully us with your numbers when you came to attack us in the previous battle? Why are you only talking about fairness with me now?”

“You’re in our territory right now, so naturally I’m the one who calls the shots!” The general’s self-righteous tone made Lei Yuan’s soldiers very unhappy, including the general’s own men.

“Is that the only thing that matters in war? So long as we win, the ends justify the means? Moreover, the general was the one who bullied us first, so what’s wrong with us using the same tactic?”

“Warrior Lei Yuan, you must not agree to his request! If we attack together, we can definitely win this battle!”

Even Eisen was trying to persuade him. “That’s right, Warrior Lei Yuan. I’ll go with you. We’ll win for sure.”

Lei Yuan had his own considerations regarding this. It was undeniable that if everyone attacked together, the chances of winning would be higher, but there would also be some unnecessary sacrifices as a result.

As for Eisen… Lei Yuan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He had a feeling of unease that Eisen might drop the ball again at a critical moment.

In the end, Lei Yuan decided to accept the challenge himself.

“Everyone, don’t worry. I can handle him myself.” Lei Yuan’s words shocked everyone.

“No! Warrior Lei Yuan, let us fight with you! It would be our honor!”

“Yes! If we die in this battle, we will die without regrets!”

However, Lei Yuan still refused everyone’s kindness and faced the general alone.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to stay with your men?” The general sneered and felt a little disappointed.

He could have wiped them out in one fell swoop.
