Laiya Understood Everything!

Laiya Understood Everything!

Good, good, good. This unlucky fool had finally taken the bait. My painstaking performance hadn't been in vain. Now the actors were in place, and the scapegoat had already taken the blame.

As long as this unlucky fool Laiya followed my instructions and launched an attack on Bahamut Town,

she would definitely attract the attention of Sellviya, that dragonkin girl, and a clash would break out.

When that happened, Laiya would surely return in crushing defeat.

Not only would I avoid the fate of being killed by Sellviya, I could also naturally dump the blame onto this unlucky kid, Laiya.

Heaven, earth, and people—all had been accounted for by this warrant officer. This round, the advantage was mine.

I simply couldn't think of any way I could lose. Hahaha!

As he watched Laiya earnestly agree, completely unaware of the humiliating scene of "defeat" awaiting her,

John cackled inwardly, yet he could not help feeling some pity for the poor unlucky girl.

Especially when he thought of that dragonkin girl Sellviya's terrifying combat strength.

John could not help worrying that, if the little girl let her guard down, she might be beaten to death on the spot.

Thus, after giving it some thought, he still could not resist calling out to Laiya, who was preparing to gather the troops and carry out the mission. Under her somewhat puzzled gaze, he added,

"Laiya, once you reach Bahamut Town, remember to watch out for a woman with red hair and red eyes. She's dangerous."

"Mm, if you really encounter her and fight her, then if you truly can't win, run immediately. Don't care too much about the mission. Keeping yourself alive comes first, understand?"

"Understood. I'll be careful."

Hearing John's warning, Laiya was moved, but she was even more interested in the red-haired woman John had mentioned.

She truly had not expected John to care so much about her safety.

He had even told her that she could abandon the mission when necessary in order to preserve herself.

Between loyalty and his comrades, Warrant Officer John had chosen the latter this time.

For Warrant Officer John, who possessed supreme loyalty, that must have been an incredibly difficult decision, right?

Likewise, if it were exposed, it might bring Warrant Officer John no small amount of trouble.

But there was no need to worry. She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Since the gentle Warrant Officer John had placed so much trust and expectation in her, then no matter what, she had to respond to him perfectly!

And as the inheritor of the Lineage's unique Severing Art, a girl countless people called a monster,

she had never lost to anyone in battle.

Even if that red-haired woman was someone whom even the genius Warrant Officer John found troublesome,

she could never possibly be her opponent!

Just like her ancestors, she would become the Norman Empire's sharpest spear, conquering every villain who tried to block the Empire's advance.

She would make everyone understand that in this world, no human could withstand this edge—and from this day onward, no one would dare touch it! If she had to choose someone to make an example of,

then she would begin with this unknown red-haired woman who gave Warrant Officer John such a headache!

Kill her, then use that to prove her worth to Warrant Officer John.

Make Warrant Officer John understand that she would become his sharpest blade.

And only she was worthy of becoming his blade!

"Those who resist are all villains, and villains must be slain!"

Laiya murmured inwardly, and a chilling killing intent flashed through her gentle emerald eyes.

But she quickly erased that killing intent, restoring the tranquil calm that made one feel refreshed and at ease.

Laiya now understood Warrant Officer John's expectations of her.

Therefore, she had to do her very best!

After looking at Warrant Officer John before her with reverent, burning eyes, Laiya turned and left. Following John's arrangements, she went to prepare the troops, intending to immediately lead them out to carry out the "bait" plan.

"What's going on? Why does my right eyelid keep twitching? Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?"

After Laiya left, John was filled with confusion as he inexplicably felt his right eyelid twitching nonstop.

But after rubbing it for quite a while without any improvement, he assumed it was due to lack of sleep and did not pay it much attention.

Instead, he shifted his gaze toward Wendy, who had somehow put away the map and slipped over to the bushes. She was now crouching there furtively, as though she wanted to escape.

Their gazes met in midair, and then the air fell silent.

"Haha, Captain, well, I found a grasshopper here just now. It was really pretty, so I wanted to catch it and give it to you. I definitely wasn't trying to hide in the bushes. Please don't misunderstand."

Cold sweat covered Wendy's forehead as she stammered out her explanation.

The grass hadn't even grown tall, and there were already grasshoppers?

You stupid pig, couldn't you come up with a remotely convincing excuse?

"Is that so? Hehe, my dear vice-captain, there are lots and lots of pretty grasshoppers in my car. There are goldfish too. So if you really want to admire them, why not get in the car with me?"

"No! Captain, I was wrong! I really was! Please spare me!"

"Beg for mercy? Too late! You stupid pig, accept your fate!"

With a vicious grin, John grabbed her by the collar without another word. Ignoring her wails and pleas, he forcibly dragged his stupid pig of a vice-captain toward the jeep.
