“Squeak?”

Lightning looked at Enoch with a puzzled face, as if it was filled with doubt toward Enoch’s words.

Weren’t all those disgusting zombies already killed? Why did its master say that they were in danger now?

Lightning was very puzzled and even found this order a little strange.

It didn’t understand why Enoch would say that.

“More enemies will be coming in a while. You guys should be prepared. Do not let these enemies hurt the Pea Shooters,” Enoch warned Lightning with a grave expression.

The Pea Shooters had worked very hard for Enoch, to the point they had fallen in a weakened state.

Naturally, Enoch would protect the Pea Shooters, which had lost their fighting ability.

That was why Enoch was so serious in exhorting Lightning.

Lightning could detect Enoch’s seriousness and understand the gravity of the matter, so it immediately nodded solemnly, indicating that it would act according to Enoch’s orders.

“Mm, you must protect the Pea Shooters carefully, understand?”

Enoch was aware there was a small conflict between the Pea Shooters and Lightning and its mischief of Berserk Rats, so he had a solemn expression on his face as he exhorted Lightning once more. He wanted Lightning to know how serious he was right now.

“Squeak!”

Because of the effect of Telepathy, Lightning was very clear about Enoch’s meaning, so it promised Enoch without any hesitation.

There was indeed some competition between the Berserk Rats and the Pea Shooters. This had become more evident when the Pea Shooters’ were infuriated because Enoch asked the Berserk Rats’ to assist them. Not to mention they had used all their strength to defeat the Flame Launchers.

The Pea Shooters and the Berserk Rats did not acknowledge each other.

However, under Enoch’s control, there was no conflict between them. It could only be said that they were competing for Enoch’s favor.

“I trust you!” Enoch noticed Lightning’s seriousness and immediately smiled.

It was best for Lightning to have this kind of awareness as it would also reduce his troubles.

Although Enoch wanted a positive competitive relationship between the Berserk Rats and the Pea Shooters, it didn’t mean he could accept that they hated each other.

A good competitive relationship could improve the efficiency of both sides, but a teammate full of hatred could do a lot of stupid things.

Enoch wanted a good competitive relationship, not two teammates who hated each other.

“Squeak, squeak.”

Faced with Enoch’s trust, Lightning was also happy. It immediately circled around Enoch, showing how happy it was.

“Yes, yes, I know Lightning is the most sensible.” Enoch could also feel Lightning’s happiness at this moment, so he praised Lightning.

Rewards were something that must be given. There should be a corresponding reward for any action. Only by doing so could his subordinates have the motivation to move forward. This was a vital matter.

And for Lightning’s case, Enoch’s praise was the best reward.

After receiving Enoch’s praise, Lightning was so excited and happy.

“Pea Shooters, you all have a good rest.” Enoch naturally did not ignore the Pea Shooters lying on the side. He immediately smiled and reached out his hand, gently stroking the Pea Shooters’ heads.

The Pea Shooters showed signs of happiness as well. Two large leaves that represented the arms were gently swaying up and down in the air, looking very happy.

Enoch was delighted as he took in the Pea Shooters’ excited looks.

Enoch reached out and continued to stroke the Pea Shooters’ heads, then looked at Lightning with a smile. “The next battle will be perilous, so you must be careful.”

“Squeak!” Lightning nodded heavily as if he was giving Enoch a promise.

“Very good, you’d better do well.” Enoch stroked Lightning’s head happily and praised Lightning.

This elated Lightning.

Meanwhile, Enoch started making plans. While he was contemplating something, Alice came to his mind.

“Alice’s exploration rate should be around 80%. I wonder if they have reached out to the Salvation Alliance and asked about related matters.”

Enoch was a little more worried about Alice, not because he had developed any romantic feelings for her. In truth, he wanted Alice to be one of his allies.

Currently, Enoch knew that Alice possessed a unique ability. It seemed to be an excellent planning ability that could unearth certain secrets.

Enoch valued such abilities, and he also felt that Alice could make good use of these abilities to do something beneficial to himself.

This was the key reason that Enoch cared about Alice so much.

Alice was very useful to Enoch, so he wanted her to be his ally.

Ever since the Salvation Alliance’s emergence, Enoch had been pondering over something. Should he establish an organization that belonged to him?

This organization didn’t need to be too big, but its members had to be elites!

Only in this way could Enoch ensure that nothing would go wrong with his next plan.

He could get all the information he wanted and ask for reinforcement in future conflicts with the Salvation Alliance so that he wouldn’t be in danger.

These were all significant factors that he had to take seriously.

Among the Divine Tree Masters that Enoch had come into contact with, the only one who met his criteria was Alice.

She was smart enough, and her abilities were quite suitable for him.

That was why he valued Alice so much. He was even thinking whether Alice was safe or not.

After all, Enoch didn’t want to find out that the ally he thought highly of was dead when he went to invite Alice.

Thinking of this, Enoch decided to send Alice a question mark. He wanted to test Alice and see what she would do.

Unfortunately, before Enoch could do anything, an unhappy voice sounded.

[The third wave begins!]

“Why does the third wave seem to have been brought forward!?” Enoch frowned. 

The third wave had obviously been brought forward. Fifteen minutes had yet to pass!

Was there a problem with the system? Or… had something big happened in the Netherworld!?
