The deputy general answered in a low voice.
The figure clad in dark red armor silently glanced at the deputy general beside him, then inquired softly, "Since the Miao Family has treated us so well, and now that we are indeed trapped in a desperate situation, should we remain loyal to the Miao Family?"
Without any hesitation, the deputy general's expression was steadfast as he responded, "Of course... we should."
...
Fear.
It was naturally present in the deputy general's heart.
Anxiety and unease.
These, too, were naturally present in the deputy general's heart.
However, if no matter what, one ultimately cannot escape death...
Rather than leading a life in shameful survival, it would be better to die with loyalty to the Miao Family.
This would not let the kindness the Miao Family had shown go to waste.
"Loyal to the end, hm?"
When the officer clad in dark red armor heard this, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He silently watched the deputy general's pair of eyes behind him.
