Meng Tian carefully sized up Meng Yi in front of him. He gratefully clasped his fists toward Alvin, then smiled and lowered his head to look at Meng Yi. "I'm going to the Underworld. From now on, the safety of the Underground Palace will be in your hands..."
As he spoke, Meng Tian waved for Meng Yi to stay silent. He drew his sword and handed it to Meng Yi, saying in a deep voice, "For a terracotta warrior to enter the Underworld is simply suicide..."
"I've guarded this place for four years. That alone shows how highly His Majesty values it!"
"The terracotta warriors of the past are no longer capable of handling sudden crises. They need the right person to lead them."
Meng Yi looked up at Meng Tian with some reluctance. After hesitating for a moment, he finally accepted Meng Tian's sword with both hands. "This subordinate obeys!"
The moment Meng Yi finished speaking, the Einherjar soldiers around them erupted in cheers...
A dying comrade had been saved. This made the soldiers, who had been losing everything for thousands of years, incredibly happy!
They feared neither life nor death, but who didn't like "hope"?

"I, Evil Man..."
As he spoke, the giant handed Alvin the skull still attached to its spine and said with difficulty, "Save me. Never stop fighting!"
Alvin held the skull of this man—who was apparently called Evil Man—in both hands...
He nodded solemnly. "Then go to war!"
"I'll take you across that gate with me..."
"Then we'll have a good slaughter together!"
"Wait for me. You'll be fine
