Chapter 540: "My Principle"

We...shouldn't fight that monster! 

The commander knew Ainsley's curse ability and instantly knew that their group would just be annihilated if they fought like this. 

However, they couldn't back off either. Their family would take their cowardice as a betrayal toward the family. That would be even worse than death! 

The commander gritted his teeth as he looked at his people behind him. 

"All of you. We might die a horrible death today. But never give up. Get it?" 

The commander was ready to throw away his life, but he wanted to ensure his people wouldn't mind following him. If any of them feared death, he would make sure they escaped successfully. 

From the beginning, the moment he saw Ainsley on the battlefield, he knew there was no way they would win! 

Even the troops had the same thoughts as the commander, yet they gritted their teeth. 

"No worries, commander. We will follow you to death!" 

The troops knew fully well just how fast the baby killed 500 people last time. They only had 200 people with them. They would also be annihilated in no time. 

But they wouldn't retreat without a fight. Their family's pride and the name was in their hands! 

Seeing his troops also wanting to follow him, the commander took a deep breath before raising his hand. 

"All troops. HALT!" 

He suddenly made his troops stop just a few meters from Ainsley's location! 

The troops obediently halted their mounts, yet their actions startled Ainsley and her troops. The baby couldn't help but squint at the commander. 

[Godfather, why are they stopping? Are they trying to negotiate or something?] 

The Godfather was also stunned. He was ready to possess Ainsley and kill all these people, but when they stopped out of the blue, he was also at a loss. 

[This lord doesn't know. Just be careful of a sneak attack.] The Godfather clenched his chest and inhaled deeply. 

Somehow, he had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to kill to his heart's wishes…

Just as the Godfather thought so, the enemy's commander suddenly raised his voice while looking at Ainsley. 

"The Sloan Family Head, Ainsley Sloan. Are you sure you want to rob our family's territory?" 

Ainsley couldn't help but tilt her head. "Yeah, I'm sure. Why are you asking?" 

This is weird. Since when did a territorial war become an interrogation session like now? What is this commander trying to do? 

Even the Godfather was dumbfounded. 

'Why are you just chatting with Ainsley? Can't you fight? C'mon, this lord wants to see blood! Not to see you guys chatting peacefully!' 

Ainsley also had the same thought. She inhaled deeply and squinted. 

"What are you planning, commander? If you're here to get back your territory, my people will not let you pass through." 

But the commander didn't look like he's eager to snatch back the territory…

Indeed, the commander actually backed down the moment he saw Ainsley. Only a moron would underestimate her. 

However, he couldn't just say that he didn't want to die a vain death. The commander had no choice but to grit his teeth and put up an act. 

"If you're persistent on occupying our territory, we have no choice but to fight. But looking at your measly 100 people...I think you're fighting a losing battle." 

The commander had this cold and arrogant expression on his face, yet deep inside, he's screaming. 

No, we are the ones fighting a losing battle! Fck!! We don't even have a neutraliser in the troop. How can we stop this little devil? 

Even if we have a neutraliser, this demon's curse ability is immune to a neutraliser ability! Damn! 

"Huh. Just don't cry to this commander if you lost all your troops, okay, little kid?" The commander tried his best to act like an arrogant bastard that wanted to provoke the little kid. 

Unsurprisingly, Ainsley's troops were triggered. They instantly roared. 

"What did you say, bastard? Our 100 people are enough to defeat all of you!" 

"With the boss here, all of you will die!" 

"Let's just fight now. I'm itching to beat up those bastards!" 

Ainsley's people were hot-blooded youth. The commander looked down on them and disturbed their pride. 

The youngsters were already cracking their knuckles, ready to go into a brawl. 

However, Ainsley was slightly stunned instead. The baby ignored the commander's ridiculing words and looked at his hands on his monster's rein instead. 

His hands are trembling. 

[...he is afraid of me?] Ainsley secretly asked the Godfather, and the young man nodded with a dumbfounded look on his face. 

[Yeah, he is. If it's like this...won't the war be quick? What a coward…] 

[Uh, well, yeah…] 

Somehow, Ainsley felt like...the war could be prevented if she could scare away the commander and make them give up. 

However, it seemed that the commander didn't want to back off without fighting. 

Does he need a reason to retreat? 

Ainsley squinted once more before clenching her fists. 

[Godfather...can we just scare them away and not massacre them?] 

! 

The Godfather almost fell from the sky. 

[What– what are you talking about? That's your enemy. You shouldn't be weak-hearted and be nice to them!] 

[I know. But if we can conserve more energy and save more lives on our side while also declaring our ownership of the valley, why don't we choose the easiest way?] 

Ainsley knew that her excuse sounded pitiful. 

People would scorn her because she was naive and didn't want to kill people when she was already a mass murderer. 

However, after the last incident, she came to know that not all problems needed her to shed blood. 

If she could make people now before her without killing, wasn't that actually more admirable? 

This is my principle!
