After that, everyone followed Lei Yuan and began to move.

Lei Yuan was not familiar with everything in the enemy camp. Even though the former enemy general had told him where Lotti was being held, he did not know how to get there.

Just as he was thinking this, Lei Yuan was about to ask the general, who had tagged along, when he suddenly said, “By the way, I haven’t asked for your name yet.”

This person had been captured and it seemed like he would be staying in their country from now on, yet Lei Yuan had not even asked for their name yet.

“My… My name is Morris.”

The name felt so unfamiliar, he even felt strange saying it out loud.

It seemed that after enlisting in the military, very few people called him by his name. Most of the time, they referred to his official title.

Lei Yuan did not notice his unusual emotions and just said, “Morris, lead the way. Only you know where Lotti is.”

Naturally, Morris should lead the way. Were they not here to save someone in the first place? After many twists and turns, they finally stopped in front of a small tent.

This place looked very remote and inconspicuous, but there were many tents around the small one. There was even an iron fence behind the tents. If there had been people from the Yan family guarding this place, it would have been impossible for them to escape. The Yan family were elites who were famous for raising many highly-skilled guards throughout their history.

However, the people who were guarding this place were all unconscious.

Lei Yuan lifted the curtain and saw Lotti, who was tied up with iron chains. She looked like she had been through a lot. Her face was pale and she looked very weak.

However, the moment she saw Lei Yuan, she immediately became excited.

“What are you doing here? Run! It’s a trap!”

What was that? Lei Yuan’s brain spun quickly.

‘The guards at the door are clearly knocked out. Why…But Lotti looks very anxious. She can’t be lying.’

Lei Yuan decided to leave with the soldiers immediately.

“Everyone, retreat!”

He hoped that there was still time. However, the moment he turned around, Lei Yuan heard a burst of arrogant laughter.

“Hahaha, I knew you would come! You’ve been tricked!”

This voice… Lei Yuan remembered that it was the general from the battlefield. He did not expect it to be a ploy!

Enemy soldiers appeared from all corners, and the general walked in from behind the tent curtain. When he saw that the person who fell into the trap was Lei Yuan, he was a little surprised.

“It’s actually you.” The general paused for a moment before he continued to laugh, “I thought you had some other skills! I never thought, hehehe, that you would also fall for my trap.”

Lei Yuan was baffled by this. He did not think that he was particularly special. Was it any surprise that he fell for a trap?

‘No! Now is not the time to think about this!’ Lei Yuan was on high alert, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face.

Just from looking at his side profile, it was surprising to find that Lei Yuan’s face was… quite attractive?

For some reason, the enemy soldiers who followed behind the general suddenly felt that they could not breathe.

They were not gay! Why did their heart beat faster when they saw Lei Yuan?!

“Host, your performance is wonderful. Your Charm has increased again,” said the system.

Lei Yuan was a little surprised. He clearly did not do anything just now.However, he was already used to the admiring gazes of the people around him, so he did not think much of it.

Still, just this small increase in Charm had a huge impact on the enemy soldiers.

Immediately, some of them submitted to Lei Yuan right away and expressed their loyalty to him.

“Warrior Lei Yuan! You looked so cool just now. We admire you very much! We want to follow you from now on! I hope you can accept us!”

‘What?’

Lei Yuan’s mouth twitched as he thought in his heart, “My Charm only increased a little. There’s no need to be so exaggerated.”

“Although it has only increased by one point, the overall level has also been enhanced. This is a qualitative leap! The impact on the enemy would naturally multiply.”The system snorted lightly, as if it was showing off its ability. “See, it won’t be too bad if you follow me!”

‘But I’m faring any better right now…’

Lei Yuan did not complain. Instead, he gathered his soldiers, including the enemy soldiers who had submitted to him moments ago.

“Everyone, since you’ve already pledged your allegiance to me, remember to listen to my orders for all future actions,” he calmly commanded. His elegant posture caused the enemy general to gasp.

What was going on? Why did he feel like his heart was beating faster and his face was burning?

According to his past experience, this was a sign of liking someone else. Could it be that he liked Lei Yuan? This was impossible!

The general quickly went into denial. He was sure that he would never fall in love with a man!

However, he really felt that Lei Yuan was a good person.

The general suddenly realized that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Previously on the battlefield, many of his country’s soldiers suddenly defected to Lei Yuan’s side, did they not?

Today, it happened again.

Not only that, but even he himself… This was really abnormal.

Since they did not have such a reaction to anyone else, it meant that the problem definitely lay in Lei Yuan.

“What sorcery did you use?” The general forced himself to calm down. “How about this: If you tell me how you made the soldiers and beasts obey you, I’ll let you go.”

‘This kind of thing…’ Lei Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had gotten a great bargain.

“Of course, I can tell you, but I’m afraid you won’t believe me at all.”He was even certain that the other party would think he was crazy.

“As long as you tell me the truth, I will naturally believe you. So, what spell did you use?” the general asked.

‘A spell?’ Lei Yuan chuckled, “I didn’t use a spell. Everyone worships me because of my Charm.”

He was not lying. It was precisely because his Charm had increased that everyone worshipped him.

However, such words sounded ridiculous to the general. He said without hesitation, “You dare to trick me?!”

“I’m not playing with you. It’s the truth!”Lei Yuan continued, “I did say that you wouldn’t believe me. Whose fault is it if your charisma isn’t enough?”

“Host, please be careful with your words.”

To say such words when the enemy was already enraged, did he not want to live?

“I mean, I didn’t use any spells to attract the soldiers, it’s simply because I’m charming.”

Lei Yuan felt that continuing to explain would only make the situation worse, so instead he changed the subject. “We made a deal before. If I tell you the truth, you’ll let me go. You can’t go back on your word now.”

“Who would believe your nonsense!?”

The general was extremely furious, and his expression was much uglier than before. He waved his hand, and his magic power spread in all directions. Lei Yuan and the others were forced to retreat quite a distance.

Lei Yuan became even more serious when he saw such great magical power. For this ordinary-looking general to be so powerful was beyond his expectations.

But it made sense. Those who were not charmed by him had a very high psychological defense.

Seeing that Lei Yuan was unharmed, the general seemed dissatisfied and continued to attack. “Since you dare to trick me, you have to pay the price!”

Lei Yuan was also crying out in his heart as he exchanged blows with him.

‘I’m really not playing tricks with you!’
