“Don’t tell me you really don’t know what it is that I want?” Mike asked.

  General Lecter’s body trembled when he heard this, then he said, “I can give up on attacking Ancient Law Town, but what I want to tell you is that even if I lead the army to leave now, there’s no guarantee that the Empire won’t sweep in here again one day.”


  “What you are doing now is a completely pointless struggle, you know?”


  Mike replied with a smile when he saw that General Lecter now seemed to almost be persuaded.

  “General, if that’s the case, then why don’t you join our Lieluo Army? I’m sure you’ve been suffering here the past few days!”


  When General Lecter heard Mike say this, his face showed a trace of embarrassment.

  Seeing that his words seemed to be effective, Mike continued to pursue his victory.

  “In my opinion, the entire military camp is filled with suspicion towards you. What is there for you to be loyal to in such an Empire?

  “Aren’t you just leading troops to war just for the sake of being promoted?

  “Do you plan on following Sano’s orders for the rest of your life?”


  It was at this moment that Mike could clearly see the change in General Lecter’s expression, so he continued to take advantage of the situation.

  “In my opinion, I think you want this pendant to obtain the power within it. As for why you want this power, I think it should be clear in your heart!”


  General Lecter sighed when he heard this.

  “I didn’t expect you to be able to understand my thoughts. But even so, what can you do?

  “Even if I join the Lieluo Army, won’t I still be controlled by others in the end?”


  “No way!”


  Mike immediately retorted.

  “Oh?”


  When General Lecter heard Mike’s retort, he was obviously a little interested.

  “Do you have a good plan?” General Lecter asked.

  Then, Mike also said, “Don’t you want to get your own city? Own your own land, people, and soldiers?”


  When General Lecter heard this, he was obviously deeply attracted by what Mike had said. He continued to question him.

  “Can you give me all of these things?”


  Mike nodded firmly and said, “As long as you are willing, we can turn this Ancient Law Town into Lecter City!”


  “Lecter City?”


  General Lecter sighed. At this moment, General Lecter seemed to be immersed in an infinite fantasy.

  When Mike saw that General Lecter was clearly becoming very impressed, so he continued to ride the wave of his success.

  “General, don’t you want to own your own city?”


  “What do I need to do?” General Lecter asked.

  Seeing that General Lecter was now completely tempted, Mike spoke with a smile.

  “General, you just need to sit tight and delay for a month. After a month, I will come back to look for you!”


  “By that time, the army of our Lieluo Army will arrive at Ancient Law Town. So then, General, you only need to come to Ancient Law Town!”


  General Lecter asked, “Why should I believe you?”


  “Because of this!”


  Mike once again showed the pendant in his hand before continuing.

  “Is this pendant in my hand not enough to serve as proof between you and me?”


  General Lecter looked at the cocky young man in front of him, then he smiled and said, “What if you go back on your word?”


  Mike did not answer General Lecter’s question, but chose to say directly, “Everything depends on the choice you make, General!”


  “Do you want to choose a good future, or do you want to submit to others for the rest of your life, and be subject to the suspicion of the soldiers under you?”


  General Lecter heard Mike’s words and said with a smile.

  “Kid, are you really not afraid of death? Aren’t you afraid that I will order the soldiers to swarm you now and kill you by force?

  Suddenly, Mike’s gaze became fierce before he said coldly, “Then if you have the guts, you can give it a try and see who will die in the end!”


  In actual fact, Mike was also taking a gamble.

  However, he had seen the world the way it would be three thousand years later, so he had more than 90% confidence that he could win this bet.

  General Lecter looked at the cocky and domineering youth in front of him.

  By now, his doubts about him had grown even more.

  Indeed, an unarmed youth had actually dared to barge into this magic camp with thousands of people on his own.

  He had also used the pendant that General Lecter had been thinking about, to threaten him.

  No matter who he was, this young man’s strength had to be extraordinary.

  Thinking of this, General Lecter opened his mouth and said to Mike, “Okay! I can promise you, but you have to do one thing for me.”


  “What is it? General, just tell me!”


  General Lecter saw that Mike was eager to make promises, so he said with a smile, “Don’t agree too early. It will be very difficult for you to do this for me!”


  Mike was still looking at General Lecter firmly, without saying anything.

  General Lecter continued to speak when he saw that Mike was so determined.

  “I want you to tie Tyrone up and bring him to me!”


  “Why?” Mike asked.

  General Lecter looked at Mike and spoke seriously.

  “The Empire will be sending people to supervise the war in the next few days. If we haven’t achieved some results by now, I’m afraid that in a month, the person you see here won’t be me!”


  “However, you don’t have to worry. I won’t do anything to Tyrone.

  “Besides, if that’s the case, won’t both of us each have a trump card in our hands?”


  When Mike heard this, he fell into deep thought.

  But not long after, Mike said, “Okay! I promise you!”


  Seeing that Mike had agreed to his proposal, General Lecter said, “Okay! In that case, you need to bring Tyrone to come and meet me in secret tomorrow morning!

  “How about meeting in the woods not far from this military camp?”


  Mike nodded and continued.

  “I hope you will keep your promise! This is a two-way journey!”


  General Lecter said, “Of course! I, Lecter, am a man of my word!”


  Mike looked at General Lecter and said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll see you tomorrow, General!”


  General Lecter nodded, and then Mike quickly disappeared into the night.

  “Lecter City? These conditions are really tempting!”


  General Lecter sighed.

  …


  Finally, Mike returned to Ancient Law Town. Tyrone spotted him and went to greet him.

  He immediately went forward to ask, “How was it, Mike? Did he agree?”
