The situation at the border of the Golden Maple Group and Imperial Phoenix region was heating up even more.
The distance between the two groups was getting closer. But they haven't moved. Just watching each other with fierce gazes, seemingly ready to fight at any moment.
Seeing the situation, Chris called Rhodez and several other generals.
After they all gathered together, he asked them to sit down and talk.
“How? Do you have opinions? From the situation, it seemed that the Imperial Phoenix did not intend to attack.
Perhaps the news of the traitor from the group was indeed true. If true, can't we stretch the situation. Conduct a truce and retreat to their respective places to take care of matters by yourself.”
Hearing Chris' words that looked so kind and beautiful, the generals shook their heads. They thought the leader was too ridiculous. Being optimistic is also important, but they have to prepare for the worst.
So, the thought of Chris just leading to a happy ending is unacceptable.
“In my opinion, we should take revenge by attacking first.”
“Yes. Our numbers are more and we have useful herbs. If it attacked early and managed to shock the enemy, it would be a heavy blow to Imperial Phoenix.”
“...”
Looking at the few generals eager to attack, Chris' expression sank. Although not entirely suspicious, but he felt that people were hard to believe. Turning his eyes to Rhodez, the man asked.
“What do you think Rhodez?”
“In my opinion, we better choose to survive. We have the environmental advantage, we also have a more solid defense. Coupled with the available potions, we will definitely win the battle if Imperial Phoenix attacks first.”
Rhodez said with a serious expression. Although some people seem dissatisfied with the answer, some also seem to support the decision. The man sighed before continuing.
“Of course, it's good if we can make peace as what the Chairman said.”
“Totally impossible!”
One of the generals immediately said in a tone full of certainty. Feeling the gaze directed at him, he continued to say.
“The people from that government are not good people. They have betrayed and do not deserve to be trusted! We must advance first and eliminate them!”
“Shut!”
Chris immediately interrupted with a stern expression. Looking towards the man, he said with a sad expression on his face.
“I know that losing your only son is hard, man. But I also hope you don't get carried away by emotions. Don't let personal feelings ruin everything.”
Hearing Chris' soft words, the middle-aged man said with red eyes. An expression full of anger and sadness appeared on his face.
“You don't know! You know nothing and lose no one! Your son is healthy, you are happy with your wife, so how do you know what I feel!”
“LAUIS!” rhodez shouted with a stern expression.
Hearing Rhodez's cry, the middle-aged man named Lauis suddenly came to a realization. Holding his head, he said with a tone full of regret.
“Sorry. I ... I have absolutely no intention of saying such a cruel thing.”
Chris was not angry. The middle-aged man patted Lauis on the shoulder gently.
“It's okay, My friend. I can't understand what you all are feeling. However, if you don't mind, come and talk to me. Although it may not provide a solution, at least you can say what is stuck in your heart.”
Hearing Chris' words, the originally gloomy atmosphere became brighter. They stared at him with grateful expressions. Despite being jealous of Chris' luck, they also felt that the man deserved it.
“So, let's wait for three days. If they don't attack and don't send people to talk, we're the ones who will start the conversation.
I don't want this to happen. However, if they refuse kindness ..”
Chris' expression became more resolute.
“Then we will fight!”

One day later.
“Is your report true?”
Hearing the reports from the team guarding the front row, Chris' expression looked even more solemn.
“True, Chairman. The people from the Imperial Phoenix were getting closer. Arguably, they were preparing to fight at any time.”
“...”
Chris leaned back in his chair. The man closed his eyes then let out a long breath. He silently thought with a disappointed feeling.
‘Padalaah I don't want to do these kinds of things.’
After a moment of silence, Chris opened his eyes. He got up from his chair then looked towards the soldier who was reporting.
“Good, Chairman!”
After saying that, Chris went straight to where Rhodez was.
“Rhodez!”
“Chairman?”
Seeing Chris' serious expression, Rhodez looked surprised. I didn't think anything serious had happened.
“Bring up your gear and collect people. We'll come to the front row to check. Prepare to do large-scale battles.”
Hearing that, Rhodez's expression turned serious. The man nodded with a stern expression on his face.
“UNDERSTOOD!”
After saying that, Rhodez immediately took out his equipment. The man then called out to the most reliable people. They all went to the front row. Intend to check the condition with their own eyes.
Arriving there, the expressions of Chris and his colleagues changed.
Indeed, the number of enemies increased. But clearly something was wrong as the guards of the Golden Maple Group seemed to be lacking and quite scattered.
“Gather people around this place soon! Create a large circular formation and prepare to fight.” cried Chris.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Just then, the sound of arrows tearing through the air sounded. From the gray fog, tens upon dozens of arrows continued to be shot out.
Seeing such a sudden attack, Chris immediately shouted.
“Enemy attack! Hold it carefully! Look around vigilantly and don't get careless!”
“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.
Successfully fending off some attacks from the archers, Chris and his comrades' expressions became heavy. At that moment, Rhodez asked.
“What should we do now Chairman?”
Hearing Rhodez's question, everyone stared at Chris.
Chris listened to the sound of the battle ahead. Unable to hold back, the man finally said.
“Of course we will go forward to help! We must help our comrades to hold on until the surrounding reinforcements arrive!”
Hearing that, people nodded heavily. They all headed straight ahead to help.
Justright. On the front, the Golden Maple Group's warriors had faced off against the people from the Imperial Phoenix.
“Serang! Kill it! Kill those who have hurt our brothers!”
Following Chris' orders, everyone immediately attacked.
Led by Rhodez in the front row, Chris and the other comrades killed quite a number of people from the Imperial Phoenix. However, just then something that they had not expected suddenly happened.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Different from the previous dozens of arrows. The number of arrows that appeared this time was hundreds, coming constantly and making them difficult to endure.
“Urgh!”
Some people started falling because of the arrows hitting them. Looking at his injured comrades, Chris shouted.
“Hold! Soon reinforcements will arrive!”
Jem!
Just then, an arrow suddenly pierced through Chris' neck and chest. Falling to the ground, he struggled to hold on. The man wanted to say something, but could not because his throat was broken.
Moments later, reinforcements finally arrived.
Rhodez is hit by a lot of arrows protecting Chris' body. The man shouted in an angry and hateful tone.
“KILL! KILL THEM ALL AND AVENGE THE CHIEF!”
Hearing his shout, everyone went mad and charged towards the enemy with killing intent. However, they had absolutely no idea of any difference to Rhodez.
Rhodez's body was indeed hit by many arrows, but if noticed, there was absolutely no arrow that hit the vital point.
Looking towards his best friend who had a cold expression, Chris' hands clenched tightly while forcing himself to say.
“WHY?”
