Yun Lintian sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the encircling figures. Commander Zhao stood at the forefront, a smug grin plastered across his face. Behind him were dozens of soldiers, their armor gleaming menacingly in the dim light of the battlefield.
Five figures stood out among them, their auras radiating the potent power of the God Ascension Realm.
"Leaving so soon, Alchemist?" Commander Zhao sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "We haven't had a chance to properly discuss your... cooperation."
Yun Lintian's expression remained impassive, his eyes betraying a hint of boredom. "I believe I made my position clear, Commander Zhao. I have no interest in joining your army."
Commander Zhao's grin widened, revealing a hint of cruelty. "Perhaps you didn't understand the situation, Alchemist. You are on our territory, surrounded by our forces. Defiance is futile."
