Chapter 620 War Spirit
Lu Yu and the others sat quietly in Elizabeth's living room, waiting for the captain.
"Will this time's conflict be big?" Xu Yuan inquired, concerned. "It might escalate to the point that our armies will have to confront each other. That will be bad."
He didn't want the Lionheart Empire and the Freedom Federation to fight each other.
The reason was straightforward. A swarm of ferocious beasts would constantly appear in the north of the continent and invade southward. Both sides were exhausted from fighting the beasts that had repeatedly invaded.
It would undoubtedly be a disaster for humanity if both sides went to war!
As a result, both sides attempted to avoid major conflicts at all costs. They even put an end to some minor conflicts whenever they happened.
After all, wars in the past erupted over seemingly insignificant matters.
"Don't worry, I won't make a big deal out of it," Lu Yu said as he patted Xu Yuan's shoulder. "Do you think I'll completely destroy their army? That is not feasible."
Xu Yuan let out a long sigh. "I know that about you, but what about the opposing party? What if that captain is difficult to work with, and our disagreement cannot be resolved?"
"If he refuses to let it go, a fight is inevitable!" Lu Yu expressed his decision.
Xu Yuan covered his face and sighed helplessly, "We'll see how it goes..."
"We're not going to fight," Elizabeth stated emphatically. "We now share a common enemy. We'll always be allies if we don't first eliminate our enemies."
"I'll always be your friend. "I can tell you're not a bad person..."
Elizabeth made her decision solemnly.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. "We will always be friends and will undoubtedly assist you in locating your brother."
The door was pushed open, and the messenger entered quickly. He stopped before Elizabeth and turned to look at Lu Yu.
"Our captain has arrived. Come out with me, and we'll pass judgment on you!"
"Do you want me to repeat my words?" Lu Yu expressed his dissatisfaction. "You are not qualified to pass judgment on me."
"Whether we are qualified or not, that's not up to you. After witnessing the strength of our captain, you'll naturally know whether we have the strength to judge you!"
The messenger stated this vehemently before turning to leave.
Lu Yu stood up and followed him out of the room.
Elizabeth sighed helplessly and stood up to leave the villa as well.
A crowd gathered before the villa, expecting Lu Yu to appear.
The leader was dressed in pure gold armor, wielded a heavy sword, and wore a helmet. At 1.95 meters tall, he was tall and strong, standing out among the crowd.
Obviously, this was the captain of the Lionheart Empire's army. He commanded tens of thousands of people and was their commander on this expedition!
Lu Yu and the others walked out.
The earlier messenger hurriedly approached the commander and respectfully reported, "Commander, this is the man who killed our 100-man team and stole the Golden Retriever!"
A deep and heavy voice boomed. "I know. Since he dares kill our brothers, I'll punish him today!"
"You're their leader?" Lu Yu asked as he walked out, looking at the fully armed man. "I don't have much time to waste on you, so just quickly say your piece!"
"A life for a life! We'll be judging you right here!"
He declared in a deep voice as he stared at Lu Yu with eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Do you mean you want me to die here?" Lu Yu asked.
He activated his Eye of the Dragon God and looked at this person to learn more about him.
[ Hunter ]
[ Talent: War Spirit (SS-Level). Attributes will increase by 10% every five minutes when entering a combat state. This state will be canceled if no combat occurs within a minute. ]
[ Overall strength: Platinum rank 2 ]
Lu Yu came to a simple conclusion after reviewing Hunter's information. This guy wasn't that strong, but if he wanted to defeat him, he needed to end the battle quickly.
This person's talent was befitting of his name. He truly had the soul of a hunter.
A war would last a long time, and fighting for a day and a night was not uncommon at times.
His talent would come in handy then. In five minutes, he could boost his attributes by 10%. How ridiculous would his attributes become if he stayed in battle for an hour?
It wasn't surprising that this man could rise to the rank of commander in the Lionheart Empire's army. It was only a matter of time before more of his promotions befell him, and he could easily command an army of tens of thousands of people then.
He had already reached this rank at such a young age, so his prospects would likely be limitless.
"Mr. Hunter, show me your capabilities if you want to deem me guilty," Lu Yu said. "Why don't we get into a fight? Whoever wins will be the decision maker!"
Hunter laughed in mockery when he heard this. "What arrogance. You don't think you can beat me, do you?"
"You had several options, but you chose the stupidest one."
"If you had pleaded with Elizabeth or used your position as a captain of the Freedom Federation to negotiate, I may still let you go if you sincerely apologize."
"You, on the other hand, chose the path of death. The heavens truly want you to perish!"
Hunter sighed, already feeling sorry for Lu Yu's death.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, found it amusing. How would he do something like beg for Elizabeth's forgiveness?
If even that was impossible, leveraging his military status to ask for forgiveness from Hunter was even more ridiculous.
"Let's get started. The people around you may leave, and you may show me your capabilities." Lu Yu spoke calmly.
Elizabeth came over at this precise moment. "Why don't I tell him to forget about it? The team you met was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We couldn't possibly execute you anyway due to your identity."
On the other hand, Lu Yu shook his head and flatly refused her offer. "I know you mean well, but I still want to fight him. I will show him and the people behind him that they have no right to pass judgment on me from the beginning."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and began to worry for Hunter.
Lu Yu had just mentioned blowing up the Truth Department's headquarters to her.
How could someone weak do something like this?
Even though she knew Hunter was strong and had many outstanding achievements, Elizabeth didn't think Hunter could win against Lu Yu from the start.
She was convinced that Lu Yu would emerge victorious!
The soldiers behind Hunter were ecstatic at Lu Yu's refusal.
"Teach him a lesson, Commander! Show him the might of our Lionheart Empire!"
"Hunter, pass judgment on him and show him we mustn't be provoked!"
"Prepare to die, bastards of the Freedom Federation!"
