Section 56: Optimism and Hope
Lord Zhenjin swept his gaze around and immediately understood the restlessness in people's hearts; the concerns and thoughts of the young knights were crystal clear to him.
As the leader, he had to set aside his own injuries and prioritize the entire team.
Lord Zhenjin knew that in such a desperate situation, watching oneself slide towards the end of death step by step, without any means of escape, the vast majority would break down, go insane, or even go mad.
So, he chuckled lightly and consoled, "Everyone, you should feel fortunate that this Golden Spear Scorpion Group sees us as a herd of beasts, its leader challenging me to a duel of kings. Unless the outcome is decided, the scorpion group will not launch a full attack."
"Indeed, we owe it to you, Lord Zhenjin, that we're still alive!"
