The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



Shax had heard of leaders bringing the team away from dangerous areas for the sake of safety before. It wasted a lot of time, but from a certain perspective, the time wasted was worth it.

Shax was so angry because he felt like this detour was just a complete waste of time and that there was no point. He was certain that Wellis' actions were just because Wellis wanted to put on an act. He felt like Wellis wanted to show off that he could sense danger.

Shax frowned as he said with a mocking expression, "Wellis! We're not all idiots here. I'll admit that you have some skills, but you can't treat everyone else like idiots with no ability to make our own judgments! For us, the fifteen-kilometer area is completely safe.

"If you're already taking a detour here, then I just wonder how many detours you're going to take further in. How much of our time do you want to waste?! Every detour you take is a waste of time. If there really is something there, then the waste of time would be worth it, but I can assure you that there's no reason to make a detour right now!"

In the end, he still wanted Wellis to lead them, so Shax made sure to refrain from going too far. He did not accuse Wellis directly of putting on an act. However, everyone else understood what he meant even if he did not say it literally.

Everyone was suddenly quiet. Wellis turned around and coldly looked at Shax. Wellis had encountered troublesome team members like him before, and he would have patiently explained everything if it was in the past. However, this time, Wellis was exceptionally nervous.

He frowned and said, "You can leave if you want. You haven't paid me anyway. Just take these first fifteen kilometers as a free trip."

Shax frowned. He was furious as he shouted out, "Wellis! What kind of business are you running? You're asking me to journey on by myself? How could you say that?! How could you just abandon me like that?"

Wellis put his hand up to stop Shax, "Alright! I don't want to waste any more time on you. I'll give you two choices right now. Either you listen to me and make the detour without wasting any time, or you don't listen to me and continue forward yourself. I won't stop you, and I won't take anything from you!"

After Wellis said that, he did not bother waiting for Shax to react before he turned to look at Fane. He shot Fane a look before changing his direction. They started to head toward the northeast.

The whole Evil Plains ran from the south to the north. The transfer array was at the southern end of the Evil Plains. They had been advancing toward the north. For safety's sake, Wellis changed direction. They were stilt heading to the north, but

diagonally instead.

The others exchanged looks with each other. Even though most of the participants had the same doubts as Shax, none of them questioned Wellis like that.

After all, Wellis already made things very clear. If they were going to listen, then take the detour with him. If they thought he was wrong, then they could advance themselves. They had not paid Wellis yet anyway!

Naturally, they were all already willing to make their payment since they had Wellis leading them. So, they did trust him. It was just that they wondered why they were making a detour so quickly.

Shax was so angry he was

them. He clenched his teeth and stared at Wellis' back. He wanted to just rush over and slap Wellis. At that moment, there was suddenly a breeze in the quiet plains. It caused the grass on the ground to rustle.

Wellis frowned unhappily. He had never been a petty person, but his intuition told him that they needed to leave the place immediately. They could not delay things for a single moment!
