After Lucius said those words, all his remaining soldiers were silent for a few seconds. Soon, however, they seemed to accept it.

They gradually started nodding their heads towards each other. After all, Lucius was still pretty young, it was normal for him to have those breakdowns every once in a while.

Marius sighed. "Very well, Lucius. Show us what you got," he said.

Lucius smiled slightly at him. "Thank you," he replied before sighing and adopting a serious expression. "Let's adapt Lukas's strategy to this situation," the black-haired boy said.

The soldiers raised their brows. "Excuse me?" one of them asked while tilting his head.

"Let us chop down some trees in order to make them leave their cover. In case they do leave, we will shoot them to death," Lucius explained.

All the soldiers exchanged some looks before nodding their heads in acceptance.
