MMORPG: Crowd Control

Chapter 67 Game Of Thrones



Kate was utterly in shock because she had never been in a battle like this before.

Never once did she have an ally that would attack the enemy when they were making a powerful move. During these types of situations, everyone would be in a daze, unable to think properly about how to block the attack.

However, Lei Zhen's appearance changed everyone's perspective completely.

Who said you have to wait for your opponent to finish making his powerful attack?

Just strike him before he can even complete it.

Such simple logic yet none of a single person was capable of doing it for a long time.

While Kate wondered about this, Lei Zhen finished pocketing everything from Scott, including his sword.

'The sword might not be as fancy as the one Qiaolian uses, but it can still be sold for a good amount of money. Or it can be wielded by me temporarily as a damage dealer.' Lei Zhen thought, feeling great about this kill.

For someone that does not deserve death, Lei Zhen would obviously not make a move.

However, for someone despicable like Scott and his nerve to cast a powerful move in front of him was enough for Lei Zhen to intervene.

A traitor that wanted to start a coup, no matter the time period, such a figure would be treated as a criminal no matter what.

Clasping his hand, Lei Zhen stood up and flashed a gentle smile.

"What's wrong, Kate? Don't we still have the other imperial guards left to deal with?" He asked nicely.

"Um, I don't think we'll need to fight anymore."

"And why is that?"

"Because they have surrendered already…" Kate said stutteringly, her finger pointing at the imperial guards on her back that had their weapons dropped, their knees on the ground.

Seeing the method of Lei Zhen and his calm demeanor after his feat, the imperial guards knew better than to mess with such a demonic personality.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhen was secretly displeased at how clever his enemies were to surrender so early on.

Why couldn't they hold onto their honor as imperial guards and fight on for a bit longer?

How else was he supposed to earn some loot if the enemies refused to fight to the death?

'What a blunder I've made. Next time, I'll make sure to go for the minions first before going for the big boss. That way, I can maximize my profit.' Lei Zhen kept this in mind.

Of course, he wasn't acting arrogant or haughty after one success. He was merely going to utilize every part of his surroundings and opportunities to his benefit.

Since Kate was a powerful sword user herself and Chris had his two mounts, Lei Zhen was sure that they would have been fine even if the imperial guards went all out.

After all, they are classified as melee type whereas he is a range type user that can hinder them from afar.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Princess Kate, we were wrong, please forgive our wrongdoings."

"Yes, we are willing to swear our loyalty to you, Princess Kate."

"Princess Kate, please give us another chance."

The imperial guards started pleading for their lives, but most importantly, swearing their allegiance to a new leader.

With this fight, the imperial guards here knew the tide in Yors Castle was about to change. And the change was going to happen rapidly.

"Lei Zhen, what do you think I should do?" Instead of deciding things for herself, Kate subconsciously turned to Lei Zhen for advice.

Although he doesn't look strong, his capability in analyzing a situation and assistance to her had proven his worth.

Being asked by Kate, Lei Zhen glanced at Chris subtly, who shrugged his shoulders in response. It was clear that Chris doesn't really care about what to do with these surrendered imperial guards.

After all, they couldn't even harm him in the process when Gizzle and Mizzle were strong enough to deflect them.

"Do you have any method that prevents them from actually backstabbing you?" Lei Zhen asked.

"If not, then it's best to silence them all because if they can surrender this easily to us, then who's to say they won't surrender to the enemies when they are overpowered again."

To be honest, soldiers that can't stay loyal aren't ideal and Lei Zhen would have just suggested killing them all.

However, Kate is currently alone without any soldiers.

And if the Yors Castle is really in turmoil, these imperial guards would serve as great cannon fodders for her, with the primary aspect that they won't surrender to the enemy after being defeated.

Hence, he asked Kate if she had a surefire way of ensuring their unwavering loyalty, that they would obey her orders unconditionally.

Kate shook her head in response. If there was a surefire way of ensuring their unwavering loyalty, then the situation wouldn't have come to this in the first place.

A blood contract would guarantee it for sure, but that's at the cost of her precious blood and it's not something one would casually sign.

Lei Zhen rubbed his chin, seemingly in deep thought. He was going to ask if there were some sort of subordinate-master contract but knew it would be pointless.

Just like what Kate had in mind, Lei Zhen had thought it over already since these imperial guards had gone rogue and swore loyalty easily to one another in a snap of a finger.

Time was ticking down, and Lei Zhen could only smile helplessly.

"This is your choice now, Kate. Accept their allegiance and risk a chance of being backstabbed by them in the future, or deny their allegiance and finish them off now." He calmly told her.

The two choices have their own pros and cons, and Lei Zhen allowed her to choose which one she wants. That way, he would not be held responsible for anything in the future.

Glancing at the sky above, Lei Zhen purposely avoided her stare. 'Sigh, when did a normal video game meant for fun become a game of thrones plot? I'm so envious of Qiaolian right now.'
