Chapter 240: Battlefield’s Great Ruler

The Charisma Stat was a stat that would increase the troop’s favorability especially if the number of the stat was high. It would also allow the user to have a stronger bond with the soldiers under their command. In addition, having an incredibly high charisma stat would have an effect of boosting the morale of the troops even if the user just stayed still.

However, the charisma stat only played an auxiliary role. Even if someone had more than 1,000 points in their charisma stat, they would still be able to experience a drop in favorability if they did something tremendously terrible to their troops.

And the Knight Commanders of the Iron Blood, Nelson, and Reapers, Audrey, were both talking.

“Pride is important, but I don’t think that it makes sense to prioritize something like that when we need to take care of our troops.”

“That’s right. What’s more, the commander of the Rice Supplement company is a kind and virtuous man. He even told us to come whenever we feel hungry, right?”

“I’m jealous. I’m very jealous of the members of the Rice Supplement company!”

“Did you see? At night, they went inside the tent, drilled a hole inside and even warmed up the air inside with fire magic. They definitely slept sweetly.”

Meanwhile, they were all shivering in the cold.

Nelson and Audrey gazed at the Rice Supplement company from a distance. They could see them grinning and smiling swiftly over their cups of coffee from who knows where. There was a warm, pleasant and happy atmosphere surrounding them that was completely contrary to their current situation.

“......How about we join them?”

“His Highness, Asvon, will definitely be angry......”

“But in the end, those two are foreigners. Isn’t it possible to deprive those foreigners of their command any time we deem necessary? And wouldn’t he be generous if we told him that our troops of 100 men were on the verge of annihilation?”

“......I see.”

Generally, the command of the foreigners was finite and limited. The knights and soldiers could turn around and not follow their orders once they felt that the foreigners were misdirecting them and giving them bad orders.

In fact, both Asvon and Ellie were very cautious when they handed the command over to the foreigners. They even said that they could easily take over the command once they felt that the foreigners were immature and couldn’t give any correct orders.

The most important thing right now is to rescue Prince Argon, right?

Not long after, Nelson and Audrey both looked at each other before looking behind them.

They finally made a decision.

Bach felt that his head would explode from all of the complicated thoughts that were running in it.

The favorability kept on decreasing!

Such a decrease might result in his knights leaving the company. Eclei even logged out after saying that he would take a nap to clear the stress away.

However, before they could even do something about the favorability, the knights started to move strangely. The knights of the Iron Blood and Reapers all began to move towards Rice Supplement.

“Where are you going!”

“......We’ll rely on the commander of the Rice Supplement company to lead us.”

“Wh, what?!”

Bach was caught in surprise. It was understandable that they wanted to leave the company. However, the knights moving towards Rice Supplement and sticking to their group was quite incomprehensible to him.

“Shit......! Do you think Emperor Asvon will stay still if he learns of this?!”

“I think Emperor Asvon will be able to understand us and our situations even for a bit.”

Emperor Asvon was a very competitive man. That was why he wanted to win the God’s Bet more so since it was a competition between the two Empires. But more than that, Emperor Asvon had bigger aspirations than that.

‘If you dare lay a hand on my brats then I’ll kill you.’

He also treasured his people and his men more dearly than what anyone could think of. And he would trust them more than these two foreigners.

Bach just stared dumbfounded as the 100-men troop moved away. Minhyuk was even opening his arms widely in front of them.

“Ah. You came. Let’s have a meal!!!”

He was smiling brightly as if he had secured some regular customers.

“......!”

Bach’s clenched fists trembled.

The competition between the Gods would earnestly begin in Zone 2 but they were completely robbed of their opportunity even before it started.

“Euhahahaha! This is really delicious!”

“That’s right. It’s really good!”

“Hahahahaha!”

They were all laughing and giggling.

On the other hand, Bach’s side was completely empty. However, it couldn’t work like this. Bach marched up to them.

“You bastard! You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Yes? What?”

Minhyuk looked at him with a very carefree expression on his face.

“You purposely stole our troops!!”

“What are you saying? I’m just giving food to the hungry.”

“Bach-nim, we went here on our own free will. What are you trying to do to a person who just wanted to give something to us?”

“That’s right!!! What’s wrong with the good-natured commander of the Rice Supplement company?”

“Booooooo!”

Flinch!

The knights had started to accuse him! Bach’s head turned blank at their accusations.

“Wow. You’re really going to take this weakling as your commander?!”

Grin—

At that same moment, Bach slashed down on Minhyuk’s arms.

There was a buzz among the members of the Reapers and the Iron Blood troops while the members of the Rice Supplement company were all watching in curiosity.

‘What’s this?’

‘Why is he using only 1/3 of the power that he used earlier? Why isn’t he using that powerful skill?’

Just as they looked on in wonder and curiosity, they heard Minhyuk shout.

“Keuheup! I can’t let someone like you command them! I’ll definitely be with them every step of the way and I’ll save the prince with no one dying!!!”

“......!”

“......!”

Minhyuk had cuts all over his body as he shouted desperately. The members of the Iron Blood and Reapers company all looked at him with their hearts breaking.

‘Aaaaah! Just to be with us......!’

‘He’s a true commander..... He’ll fight desperately just to be with us!’

‘Aaaaaaaaah! Commander Minhyuk-nim!’

One knight even shed tears for his passion and dedication.

That was when the Rice Supplement company realized.

‘He’s doing that on purpose, right?’

‘He’s definitely a swindler among swindlers!’

‘It seems like I can see with my very own eyes how the knights of Iron Blood and Reapers will become loyal to Minhyuk-nim for life.’

That was right. He was a swindler. But Bach, who was unaware of this fact, was smiling broadly.

“Keuhahahahaahahahah! You weakling! How can you command if your strength is just like this?!”

But contrary to what he expected, the knights of the Iron Blood and Reapers company shouted at him madly.

“Be sure to win!”

“Sob, sob, sob! I was so thrilled with the courage and love that you have for us!”

“We will also risk our lives for you!”

‘Huh?’

Bach tilted his head in confusion.

At the same time, Minhyuk slowly collapsed. Bach tried to give him a final blow but Minhyuk suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“I will conquer the Immortals’ Land with them!!!”

At that moment, a bright light suddenly burst out of Minhyuk’s body. The knights suddenly stood up in shock and trepidation.

Meanwhile, Bach thought that he could easily pull out his wrists from his hold but before he could do so, the grip on his wrists tightened. He realized that the grip on his wrist had a tremendous strength on it.

‘Wh, what the hell? What’s with this strength?’

Something’s strange. Something...

And then......

Stab!

Minhyuk’s sword pierced his sides.

“Keop!”

“Let go!”

Stab, stab, stab, stab!

Although he tried to stab him with his dagger, they did not reach Minhyuk at all. Then, Minhyuk attacked him again. He slammed his head against Bach’s head.

Bang!

“Keuheup!”

Then, Minhyuk stabbed his sword on his chest.

Stab!

Then, a phrase in a dark window surprisingly appeared in front of Bach.

After he was forced to log out, Minhyuk raised his arms and shouted.

“I have overcome this obstacle! Now you can stay with us without any worries!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaah!”

“Minhyuk! Minhyuk! Minhyuk!”

Then, notifications rang one by one in Minhyuk’s ears.

And along with the notifications, a piece of item also dropped from Bach.

“A map?”

TL’s corner!

Idk if Kang Minhoo raised a good businessman or a good con-man...
