Evalyn's anger flared instantly when she heard those words. She respected the Hero of Darkness as one of humanity's heroes.
However, if he acted this selfishly, she couldn't accept it.
Evalyn turned to the generals, whose faces were somber, and said firmly, "I'm giving you two choices—follow my orders, or follow the Hero of Darkness's orders. Decide quickly!"
Lucas was startled by her words. He was the Dark Hero—one of the two heroes of humanity.
How dare an ordinary human speak to him like that?
However, Lucas did not rush to confront her. He wanted to see for himself what choice the generals would make.
Upon hearing her question, the generals exchanged glances. By protocol, they were supposed to follow Lucas's orders.
After all, he was a hero. His authority was absolute.
However, his earlier order was practically the same as needlessly sacrificing the soldiers to the demon army.
They didn't want to do that.
