Chapter 52: Seize the Initiative

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

“Young Master Night!”

“Why do we have to expose ourselves?”

No one could figure out Lugh’s motive.

These were the Lion Horse Guards. With their strength, there was no way they could resist them

Once the Lion Horse Guards arrived, they would mercilessly take their lives and behead them.

At the thought of this, everyone felt a shadow shrouding their hearts, and their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.

Rexton’s eyes were filled with shock as he asked Lugh, “Aren’t we trying to escape? If we reveal our location, how are we going to escape?”

“Escape?”

Lugh smiled. “Who said that we are going to escape? I only let them think that we are escaping.”

Lugh looked at Clare. “Clare, remember what I said, the best hunters usually appear as prey. That’s how they attract more prey!”

“I got it, Young Master!”

Although she didn’t quite understand what he meant, she would definitely remember it.

There was no doubt about it because what the young master said was always right.

As for Lorca and the others, their faces were full of confusion. The expressions on their faces were frozen.

After a moment, they came back to their senses.

It was only at this moment that they realized just how big the gap was between them and Lugh.

When ordinary people encountered such a situation, they usually only had two choices.

The first choice was to think of those who chose to stay. In order to live, these people had no bottom line, they would betray their friends or even their families. They would push the people around them out to die, and then, like a dog, they would wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of these people.

As long as they wanted to live, they would do anything. Betraying their friends and ambushing them from behind was not beyond them at all.

They had many means and many ideas, but they all had a common goal, which was to live for themselves.

The only thing they didn’t have was the courage to fight back.

The second type of person was like Rexton and the others.

They wanted to live too, but they were completely different from the others.

They wanted to find a way to live, and wouldn’t put their lives in the hands of others.

They wouldn’t beg others to forgive them.

They stuck to their own ideals, running away when they could. When they couldn’t run away, they would choose to fight against the people who were chasing them.

But Lugh was a different kind of person, he had never placed himself on the side of the prey, but on the side of the hunter. In his mind, the other party was the prey. That was why he took the initiative to expose the unknown, waiting for the prey to take the bait, and then kill them.

Just the different way of thinking was something most people couldn’t comprehend. Not to mention the difference in strength.

What kind of courage must they have to choose to stay when others were chasing after them? Instead, they would take the initiative to lure them and then think of a way to kill them.

They didn’t know Lugh’s strength, but they knew the strength of the Lion Horse Guards.

Every lion horse guard soldier was the most elite soldier of the Simon Empire. They were extremely powerful, especially the commander of the Lion Horse Guards. He was a powerful rune-master and had experienced countless battles.

Every lion horse guard commander was a general that had been trained in the heavenly battlefield.

Young Master Night knew that there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, yet he still chose to take the initiative to attack and think of a way to counter-attack. It was truly shocking. There was even a bit of madness.

After Lugh had explained the plan, they could clearly feel the difference in their state of mind compared.

Their strength could catch up. They could make continuous breakthroughs and become stronger through hard work.

But a person’s state of mind was very difficult to make up for.

They thought that this was a thought habit formed after they were born, or maybe it was the embodiment of a person’s values.

Just like those who had chosen to push Vivienne out, they didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with their actions. They even felt that their actions were right, while Lugh and the others’ actions were completely incomprehensible.

In their minds, others weren’t important at all. As long as they could live, then everyone else in this world could die, even if that person was a relative or a very good friend.

If the rune world’s human race and other dimensional space’s foreign creatures started a war then this kind of person would be the most dangerous.

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t be able to see their character at all. They would use all sorts of methods to disguise themselves. Then, once the situation was disadvantageous to them, they would be very decisive and abandon their race without hesitation, just so that they could survive.

And they didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with that.

Every race, every era had such people.

Even the majority represented an extremely selfish existence.

They felt that Lugh was another extreme. He could face life and death with his friends, but at the most dangerous time, he would turn the passive situation into a situation where he took the initiative, making himself the master of the crisis. If such a person was a friend, he would be very lucky.

Every friend of Lugh would feel proud to have a friend like him, and they would be very reliable.

But if they were enemies…

If they imagined that Lugh was targeting them, the consequences would definitely not be good.

For a time, they would feel some sympathy for those who had offended Lugh.

Fortunately, they were friends with Lugh.
