He did not have any real power, but even so, he was targeted by Eisen.

In fact, Lei Yuan did not really care whether he was targeted or not, as long as they could rescue Lotti, everything would be fine.

The problem was that their current disagreement was already affecting the rescue operation.

After understanding this reason, Lei Yuan pondered for a while before he finally decided to talk to Eisen.

It was not ideal for them to continue like this. If something really went wrong, the one to bear the responsibility would still be Lei Yuan, the nominal leader.

After asking around, Lei Yuan went to Eisen’s tent. However, he did not expect to find it empty!

He was shocked and rushed out of the tent. Only then did he notice that the camp was too quiet. It did not seem like there was anyone around at all.

At this moment, a soldier walked out of another tent. Lei Yuan quickly grabbed him and questioned, “Where did Eisen go?”

It was not just Eisen, some of the soldiers had also disappeared.

The man was frightened, but he still answered truthfully, “Knight Eisen, he… he led the soldiers with him on the rescue mission.”

‘Oh goddammit! That guy really doesn’t listen to advice at all!’

“Damn it!”Lei Yuan pushed the soldier away and went to gather everyone else.

After learning that Knight Eisen had already led his men out, the soldiers who followed Lei Yuan began to curse.

“What’s wrong with him?We told him not to act on his own, but he still led the other soldiers to go to battle. He’s really not taking everyone’s lives seriously!”

“That’s right! Lei Yuan has already made everything clear, so why is he still acting so obstinately? What if they all got wiped out?”

“Warrior Lei Yuan is the leader of this operation. He will be responsible for any accidents. Is Eisen doing this on purpose?”

Lei Yuan immediately silenced everyone.

“Now is not the time to argue. Everyone, get yourselves ready and follow me.”

He had to act even if he did not want to.

Eisen took quite a few people with him. They could not afford to make any mistakes, otherwise even if they won, they would be criticized by their countrymen when they returned home.

Since Eisen was able to become a knight, it showed that he was not a simple person. They could not afford to lose him in this situation.

Everyone obeyed Lei Yuan’s orders unconditionally and immediately followed him.

…

When they arrived at the enemy camp, the scene was unusually quiet, and there were no signs of fighting on the ground.

Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

This was good. It meant that nothing had happened yet. They needed to find the rest of their people before anything happened.

“Warrior Lei Yuan, what should we do next? We don’t know where Knight Eisen is, either. Wouldn’t it be bad if we clash with their plan?” a soldier asked.

Lei Yuan thought for a while and said, “Since the battle hasn’t started, it means that Knight Eisen hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s act first.”

What?

The soldier did not quite understand, but Lei Yuan already had a plan.

He immediately applied to open the system store and looked for what he wanted among the dazzling array of goods.

If he remembered correctly, there was medicine here that he needed.

The system asked, “What are you searching for? Tell me, and I’ll pull it out for you.”

“I want some anesthetics to knock out the enemy.”

Lei Yuan thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be easier to take action if the enemy was knocked out?’

“That’s a good idea.”The system somehow managed to pull up a series of drugs. “There are sprays, smoke grenades, and water-soluble types—”

Lei Yuan interrupted its introduction, “As long as it can knock out the enemy, anything is fine. Just don’t let our soldiers be affected.”

The system was about to recommend the spray-type, which could knock out one person at a time. But the method seemed too slow, and if a group of people found them, it would be troublesome.

Thus, the system recommended the smoke grenade. “However, in order to ensure that the medicine is used on the enemy, it is recommended to use it while upwind, to avoid any backlash.”

Lei Yuan sensed that the wind was indeed blowing in his direction.”Understood.”

After purchasing the drug, Lei Yuan lit up the smoke grenade and used a wind spell to blow the smoke toward the enemy camp.The soldiers did not even notice when Lei Yuan had taken out the smoke grenade.

“Warrior Lei Yuan, what is this?” Some of them were curious and wanted to get closer to the smoke.

Lei Yuan immediately hissed, “Don’t come any closer!”

Someone realized what it was and explained, “It’s smoke with an anesthetic effect. After inhaling it, one will fall into a deep sleep.” After that, the others did not ask further.

After the smoke had spread to a certain extent, Lei Yuan retracted his spell, and the smoke grenade also burned out.

“Warrior Lei Yuan, if that’s the case, will our movements be hampered by the drug?”

The soldiers were a little worried. After all, the smoke was dense and would not immediately disperse. Once they stepped into this area, they would inevitably be affected.

“We still need to wait a while before we make our move.”

Before using the smoke grenade, the system had told him that the smoke would completely dissipate in half an hour. Those who were affected by the smoke would sleep for ten hours, which was quite safe for them.

If the smoke was not enough, Lei Yuan would use his Charm to control the beasts in the area to create some chaos, giving them enough time to save Lotti. With the beasts around, even if someone was lucky enough to not be knocked out, they would have no time to care about the intruders.

…

After a while, there was still no movement from the enemy camp, so Lei Yuan prepared to lead his men inside.

Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared in the enemy’s camp. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than Eisen and the people he led.

As they got closer, Lei Yuan realized that they were being chased. He was speechless at this.

What else could he say? He had repeatedly warned them not to act on their own. It was no surprise that this was happening.

Moreover, Lei Yuan noticed that they were only being chased by enemy soldiers. The leader of the camp had not shown up yet.

“Are they that weak?” Lei Yuan cursed silently at his useless teammates.

“Warrior Lei Yuan! It’s Knight Eisen and his men!”Soon enough, the other soldiers also noticed that the people being pursued were indeed Eisen and his men.”Let’s go save them.”

Although they had a lot of opinions about Eisen, he was still one of their comrades. They had to save him.

“Wait a minute.”Lei Yuan stopped them. After thinking for a while, he made his decision. “Ignore them for now.”

They could not let Eisen and his men disrupt their plans.It was already in motion, and if they interfered now, who knew what would happen? Moreover, with Eisen’s personality, he might even turn against them.

At the thought of this, Lei Yuan became even more determined to not care about Eisen and his men for now.

Although the soldiers were on Lei Yuan’s side, it was still difficult for them to completely ignore the safety of their comrades.

“This… doesn’t seem right. Why don’t we split up? One team will go help them, while the others follow Lei Yuan to rescue Ambassador Lotti?”

Lei Yuan flat out rejected it. “The plan comes first!”

Besides, if he didn’t teach Eisen a lesson, the knight would actually think he was invincible. This time, Lei Yuan would let him have a taste of the consequences of his reckless actions.

The soldiers wanted to say something more, but they kept quiet, because they still trusted Lei Yuan.
