She was not only worried about Lei Yuan’s situation, but also about her image in the hearts of the soldiers and ministers.

She was the Queenof this country. In her understanding, everyone should listen to her. But today, her subjects actually…

However, she did not have much time to think about this. The relationship between the two sides was tense, and a fierce battle could start at any time.

Lei Yuan flew down on his dragon and arrived in front of the enemy.

Compared to the enemy’s massive army, Lei Yuan was like a tiny, lone figure. The enemy would not really think that he was here alone to negotiate with them. Without any support behind him, what could he use to negotiate?

“Humph! I thought you would have some backbone and fight us if you have the ability. I didn’t expect you to surrender so quickly.” The enemy general sneered, “You have the guts to hide a fierce dragon, but not the bravery to continue fighting us. Cowards!”

Lei Yuan had already heard this kind of mockery quite a bit these past few days and did not take it seriously at all.

He waved at the dragons and cerberi, as if he was coaxing some little animals. “Come here, come to my side.”

This doting tone seemed out of place on the battlefield. When the enemy general heard this, he thought that Lei Yuan had lost his mind and laughed wildly.

“Do you think our beasts are your pets? They’re incomparably vicious! Be careful not to die without an intact corpse!”

‘So this man used this method to subdue our evil dragon? Just the very thought of it is ridiculous!’

The general shook his head. He believed that there was something wrong with the evil dragon that had gone to the enemy. It just needed to be properly trained when they got it back.

“Don’t speak too soon.” Lei Yuan still looked like he was planning a strategy. He clapped his hands and said, “Look.”

The ground suddenly shook.

The soldiers all looked in the same direction and saw their dragons and cerberi walking toward Lei Yuan all at once.

It was obvious that they did not have any ill intentions. They looked more like little pets walking toward their owner to ask for a reward.

At first, the enemy troops could not believe it. They just stood there and watched in a daze until the beasts lowered their heads in front of the man without the slightest intention to attack.

Lei Yuan smiled and raised his head, patting their heads. “How obedient.”

“F*ck!” The enemy general was so shocked that he could not react for a long time.

They had trained the beasts for so long and finally managed to make them listen to their orders, but this man was able to make them so obedient the first time they saw him?!

‘What sorcery is this?!’

“Come back here!” The general used a control spell in frustration as he tried to summon the beasts back, but it was useless.

He increased the strength of his spell. This seemed to make the fierce beasts very uncomfortable. They let out a thunderous roar on the spot and turned to viciously glare at the enemy general and his troops. Then, the beasts attacked them!

As they saw the fierce beasts roaring at charging at them, the enemy troops became terrified.

“W-W-What’s going on? Aren’t the dragons and cerberi on our side? Why are they attacking us?”

“I don’t know! General, can you make them stop? They really seem to want to hurt us!”

“Stop arguing. I’m trying to control them!”

The general had used the control spell, but then realized that it had no effect at all. The result was actually counterproductive. The beasts seemed to hate them more and more.

‘How can this be?’

“No! Attack him! I am your master! Do you hear me?!”

However, no matter how much the general roared, the beasts did not react.

At this moment, everyone on the city wall was shocked.

“What… What happened? Why would the beasts attack them? Weren’t they the ones who trained them?”

“I’m not sure. Did Lei Yuan use magic? But I thought he couldn’t use magic. Did Mage Lotti teach him?”

“I don’t know, but if Lei Yuan can really make the ferocious beasts so obedient that they would attack the enemies instead, then that’s not bad, either. It saves us from fighting and dying in vain.”

At this moment, the ministers were also discussing. There were some who were very optimistic about Lei Yuan, but there were also a few who kept badmouthing him.

“Lei Yuan seems to be quite capable. It’s also beneficial for us to have such a person in our country.”

“It seems that Her Majesty has a good eye for people. No wonder she wants to marry him.”

Suddenly, a minister objected, “Don’t be fooled by him! Can’t you see that it’s obviously a huge problem?”

The others were also stunned by his outburst.

“What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“Lei Yuan is clearly a spy of the enemy country!” said the minister angrily. “How else could he make the beasts so obedient?”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into deep thought. It was actually not an unreasonable thing to say.

“No one in our country has been able to tame beasts for so many years. How did Lei Yuan do it so easily? He definitely knew the enemy country’s beast taming technique!

“He’s showing us a confrontation with the enemy right now, with the purpose of deceiving us and infiltrating deep into our politics. When the time comes, he’ll be able to wipe us out in one fell swoop!”

After listening to the minister for a while, everyone felt that it made sense. Otherwise, how could they justify the fact that Lei Yuan could make the beasts so obedient?

Ofia wanted to argue back, but she calmed herself down. Her words were useless at the moment, and she might end up causing more trouble for Lei Yuan.

However, she believed that this time, Lei Yuan would definitely be able to defeat the enemy. He was able to subdue fierce beasts not because he was a spy of an enemy country, but because he was truly strong.

The situation was getting more and more tense. The beasts charged at the enemy. No matter how the general tried to tame them, they could not be stopped. Eventually, the general ran out of options. In order to prevent casualties, he had to mercilessly kill the beasts that he had personally tamed.

Lei Yuan only smiled faintly when he saw this and said, “Using violence is not how you truly tame something.”

It was clear that there had been no emotional connection between the beasts and the general. Anyone who purely used violence to dominate another being was doomed to fail.

“Damn it!” The general hated Lei Yuan to the core.

If it was not for this guy, he would not have had to kill the beasts that he had trained for so long.

The beasts were their weapons for attacking other countries, yet this man eliminated that option so easily!

“Attack! Kill him!”

If this person was not eliminated, he would definitely pose a huge threat in the future!

The troops received the order and immediately launched an attack. Thousands of soldiers charged forward, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

The soldiers on the city walls were ready to fight, but there were also people cursing Lei Yuan, “Idiot! Is he trying to kill us?”

The rest of them, however, were puzzled.

If Lei Yuan was a spy, why would the enemy kill their own beasts? If it was just an act, there was no need to pay such a high price.

“Do you still not understand? Lei Yuan has ‘angered’ the enemy, and they are launching their attack. How can our troops resist them at this time? He’s clearly trying to bring harm to us!”

The soldiers immediately understood.

The soldiers who could go into battle were those who had recovered from their injuries. But their numbers were still much smaller than the enemy’s.

Lei Yuan was speechless.

‘These people…’

He felt like everything he had done was for nothing.
