CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 386: WE SURRENDER???_2

He was just a Village Chief.

Would the main formation of Hope Village really come to her aid if she was attacked?

If they didn’t come to her aid, did that prove that she was just a mascot?

If she was a mascot, would Hope Village really withdraw their troops if she died?

In their deduction, they felt that their Lord’s actions seemed more like venting personal grievances, seeking personal revenge, with a low possibility to actually save Fasal Village.

"Just surrendering directly doesn’t seem right! What if our families are still in the hands of our Lord and he gets angry and kills them outright?" Norris spoke up.

Here, they seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Their Lord’s attitude was just too ambiguous.

If their Lord’s attitude had been more decisive, they might not even need to think about it and could just fight desperately.

Knowing that their Lord had intentions of abandoning the territory made them feel slightly odd about fighting to the death.

"So what you mean is..."

"Let’s attack first to gauge their response, and if we can’t beat them, then we surrender," Norris stated bluntly.

"But if we do fight, considering their weapons and equipment, we might lose a lot of soldiers’ lives, many of whom have fought alongside us, and many are our brothers; are you willing?" Worley said bluntly, "For me, I have some reservations. I think if we decide to fight, then we fight till the end; if we decide to surrender, then we should just surrender directly without any needless struggle."

Worley’s attitude became unusually firm as he spoke.

Norris looked at Worley and paused, "But if we do surrender directly, how can we ensure a successful surrender without them using it as an opportunity to slaughter us?"

Such incidents had happened before.

Having lived in Fasal Village for a long time, Norris found it hard to trust human nature.

Even though he had heard from Nicholas that Hope Village was reliable, they still had some mistrust.

This battle with Hope Village was also aggressive in nature.

They had lost thousands of people since the beginning of the Territory War, all killed by Hope Village.

Worley fell silent for a moment.

They were actually a bit scared too!

"During the combat before, did Hope Village ever shout ’surrender and spare lives’?" Norris suddenly thought of the recent combat and asked directly.

"They mentioned it, did they mention it on your side too?" Worley responded surprisingly, "And when they shouted it, I did feel their assault was less lethal."

Norris listened and pursed his lips, "The same situation was on my side."

After exchanging words, their gazes intermingled.

After a moment, in tacit understanding, they simultaneously said, "Shall we try?"

After speaking, the two men shared a knowing smile, then shifted their focus to the front.

It was then that a flare lit up from the opposite side of the battlefield.

At that moment, Worley and Norris raised their weapons and shouted, "Charge!"

With that command, they charged ahead at the forefront.

This surprised the captains of the various squads; previously, these two were always behind the vanguard team—one was to ensure the ability to command the entire team, and the other for safety considerations.

Now, they were actually charging at the very front.

However, seeing their passionate demeanor, the spirits of all the squad leaders instantly soared.

They had been quite worried about this battle, even feeling like it was a death mission, but seeing the intense excitement of the two team leaders, they thought that perhaps the Lord had given them a special secret weapon, turning the tide of this battle.

With a chance for victory, they could charge forward relentlessly.

"Charge!" they followed closely behind, also shouting loudly.

At that moment, the sound shot into the sky, spreading across the entire battlefield.

On Zhou Bai’s side, attention was unwittingly drawn.

"They’ve deployed forces again?" Zhou Bai remarked, her eyes lighting up.

It seemed she had guessed correctly.

"They might be targeting you this time," Bayer made a plausible conjecture.

If the goal was to delay, the best move was to strike at the rear of the main fighting formation.

Their Lord was now behind the main combat troops, and she was undoubtedly a target.
