"Of course, the Dragon King faces greater danger against the five Paladin Knights. Moreover, with the additions of Mengte De'er and Ge'er Yan whose strengths are subpar, the risk is rising steeply!"

Mo Bao spoke without hesitation, his voice grave.

Chen Jiantao said indifferently, "Mengte De'er was redeemed by the Dragon King from the Grand Beast Arena. If Dragon King made his breakthrough without Mengte De'er by his side, it wouldn't be appropriate. And as for Scar, it's even more crucial not to leave him on his own in Changlan City. Should the Dark Spider's people take a desperate gamble, that would ruin everything. Therefore, it's a must to bring them along!"

"A breakthrough for the Dragon King? A breakthrough to what level?" Mad Tiger asked, puzzled.

Chen Jiantao explained softly, "The Dragon King, like you, possesses the strength of a Paladin Knight. His so-called breakthrough this time is a ruse, meant to draw Mage Liesi and his followers out. It serves to facilitate our ambush on their stronghold and keep Mage Liesi and his men behind. Having said all this, Mr. Mo Bao, do you still think the Dragon King is a profit-first merchant? Do you still believe he is weak?"

"Paladin Knight?! The Dragon King is a Paladin Knight? And he's using himself as bait to draw Mage Liesi and his men out, ready to fight to the death to eliminate them completely? And he still has to bring along two burdens? As a boss, how can he put himself in such danger?" Mo Bao's face was a picture of disbelief.

An Long said solemnly, "Because the Dragon King has never seen us as subordinates, but as brothers."

A strong tremor went through the hearts of Mad Tiger and Mo Bao.

At that moment, they finally understood why An Long and his companions, despite knowing they would certainly die in a confrontation with the two of them, still chose to do so. If they had such a boss, who would dare to speak ill of him? They'd be sure to smash his brains out.

With this thought, they couldn't help but respect Jiang Chen profoundly!

"I'm sorry! I was unaware of the kind of person the Dragon King is, and I apologize for my previous words," said Mo Bao, inhaling deeply, his voice filled with remorse.

An Long responded coolly, "After the mission is over, listen to the Dragon King. Even though he'll definitely say it's nothing, but, Mr. Mo Bao, I don't want to hear any more bad words about the Dragon King from you."

"It won't happen again, never again!" Mo Bao quickly shook his head.

"Alright!" Chen Jiantao moved on from the issue and said softly, "The Dragon King has ordered an attack at eleven-thirty, Xie Long, You Ling."

"Present!" Xie Long and the others responded.

Chen Jiantao gave his instructions softly, "You two will lead the scouting team to scope out the general situation of their stronghold. Remember, there might be Paladin Knights inside, do not get too close, and return within two hours!"

"Yes!" Xie Long and the others responded solemnly.

"I'll come too, If they encounter a Paladin Knight, I might be able to fend them off," Mo Bao said softly.

Spirit You shook his head, "No need."

"I..." Mo Bao thought Spirit You was still angry about the earlier incident and frowned slightly, "I know what I said before was wrong, but now is not the time to hold a grudge."

Spirit You smiled gently, "I'm not holding a grudge, but you can't come with us. If we are discovered, even if they spot us, it won't have any impact on the mission. At most, they'll think we're just bluffing, trying too hard to look convincing.

If you come, once discovered, that will put them on high alert.

So, if you go, even if we get discovered and killed, you can't take action. Then what's the point in going?"

Mo Bao was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "But didn't I hear the Dragon King say that the lives of our brothers are of utmost importance? Now you're saying..."

"The lives of our brothers are certainly the most important, but as the Dragon King can say, I believe that the Dragon King truly thinks the same way. However, we cannot do that. If we acted like that, what kind of soldiers would we be, and how could we stand on the battlefield?"

"By placing himself in such danger, the Dragon King has created this amazing opportunity for us. If we don't make any achievements, how can we be worthy of him?"

Xie Long quietly explained, then stopped the chatter and, together with Spirit You, led the scouting team silently towards the Dark Spider's base!

"How could such a team not be powerful!" Watching the figures heading towards the Dark Spider's base, Mad Tiger exclaimed admiringly.

Mo Bao fell silent, suddenly filled with a strong desire, a longing to join such a team!

"Xue Yu, teach me," An Long looked at Chen Jiantao with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Chen Jiantao smiled slightly, "With a great master available, why come to me? When the Dragon King took us out, he said that in addition to training us, he also wants to enhance your combat capabilities.

We have more than a month to fight together, and such pure combat training is what most improves combat power and command abilities on the battlefield. After this war ends, the Dragon King will personally lead us into battle, by then, you'll have plenty to learn!"

"The Dragon King... my admiration for him grows every day!"

An Long spoke earnestly, his eyes showing utmost respect.

Chen Jiantao smiled slightly, "Yes, when he first came to us, all of us, including me who had known him for quite some time, thought he could only teach us fighting techniques.

But unexpectedly, he was able to come up with so many advanced training methods. You don't know, he's already working on writing a training outline specifically for us, and he has finished a large part of it, just some details left to wrap up.

When I saw the training outline he wrote, I was under the illusion that he was not a twenty-something-year-old youth, but an old monster who has lived through various wars since the founding of our country and still survived!"

"Twenty-something years old?!" Mad Tiger and Mo Bao both exclaimed in unison.

Chen Jiantao glanced at the two of them and said with a light smile, "Yes, in his early twenties, a Paladin Knight in his early twenties, a commander-in-chief in his early twenties. Mr. Mad Tiger, Mr. Mo Bao, can you imagine what the Dragon King has gone through? Can you imagine how much effort the Dragon King has put in?"

Mad Tiger and the other looked at each other, both falling silent.

They truly could not imagine—no one could—since they had no idea that Jiang Chen had the memories of a decade's worth of dreams of the future.

This was simply defying common sense, defying the principles of the world's reincarnation!

After discussing all this, everyone started to rest and recuperate. Two hours later, Spirit You and the others came back, bringing back the general situation of the base.

"Looking at it this way, there really is a Paladin Knight at their base!" Chen Jiantao spoke gravely.

"Really a Paladin Knight?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Bao was momentarily confused and asked in astonishment, "How could you tell?"

Chen Jiantao immediately laughed.
