After Chen Mo’s compelling persuasion, the five exchanged glances and ultimately chose to agree. Chen Mo’s final assurance was what convinced them: without a soul contract, they would be completely free. If the Rebel Army’s actions weren’t a challenge to the monarchy, they could indeed consider joining. After all, they had heard about the actions of the Queen Mother and the Pri Minister; it was true that so of their actions had been excessive.
Previously, since it didn’t involve them directly, they hadn’t bothered to intervene. Now that the choice was laid before them, leaving them no alternative, they could only try to trust him. If the Rebel Army’s actions proved improper at any point, they could rejoin the Imperial Army, as long as their souls remained free from control.
Eventually, the four generals all turned their gaze towards Marshal Albert. Among the five, his rank was the highest. If he nodded first, it would be understandable for the other four to follow suit.
After so hesitation, Albert finally turned to Chen Mo and said, "Alright, I’ll trust you this ti. But let’s make this clear: we will absolutely not accept any form of soul control. If you attempt anything of that sort, we will retaliate imdiately!"
"You are all powerful individuals; naturally, we wouldn’t try to deceive you," Chen Mo replied smoothly.
"Then we will temporarily join the Rebel Army to see if you truly act as you claim!" Albert stated.
"That’s wonderful," Chen Mo said. "To be honest, we were also sowhat concerned that so individuals might gradually betray their initial convictions and consider committing heinous acts. Having you, the forr pillars of the Empire, observing them can serve as a deterrent, compelling them to abandon such thoughts."
With Chen Mo’s words, Albert and the others beca more inclined to believe what he had previously said.
"Since the five of you are willing to join the Rebel Army, please persuade the surrounding soldiers as well. This way, I can avoid unnecessary killing," Chen Mo added.
Albert and the other four nodded, imdiately beginning to use voice transmissions to gather their soldiers.
With the surrender of Albert and the others, Chen Mo promptly received a notification from the Heavenly Dao.
[The Heavenly Dao’s Hint: You have actively undertaken a special task to aid your allies!
You have successfully helped your Rebel Army allies occupy Jerusalem City and prevented the death of key figures. No commander-level figures perished this ti. Your rescue effort is judged as perfect, and you have received a 500 dungeon points reward.
Special Task Completion: 50%]
[The Heavenly Dao’s Hint: You have successfully persuaded Marshal-level figure ’Albert’ and General-level figures ’Alice,’ ’Marx,’ ’Aina,’ and ’Eddie’ with your words!
Persuading one Marshal-level figure grants a 2,000 dungeon points bonus.
Persuading one General-level figure grants a 200 dungeon points bonus.]
[The Heavenly Dao’s Hint: Your current dungeon points are 5,400.]
Only 50% done? It seems the other team is in just as much danger. I have to go help them out quickly.
After persuading Albert and the others, Chen Mo imdiately found Ryan and said, "The Chief Commander might also be in trouble. The situation here is resolved, so I need to go support the Chief Commander. You just need to incorporate the remaining people here."
Ryan had also heard Chen Mo’s conversation with Albert and the others. However, he was extrely concerned about Chen Mo’s promise to allow their surrender without using soul control.
He promptly said, "Without soul control, these five could betray us at any mont. If you leave and they suddenly cause trouble, we won’t be able to handle them."
Chen Mo smiled. "Don’t worry, I’ll go with them to support the Chief Commander. Only so soldiers will remain here. You just need to integrate the Imperial Soldiers into our Rebel Army. Having witnessed an Imperial Marshal and Imperial Generals surrender, they wouldn’t dare to rebel."
"If that’s the case, it might work," Ryan conceded.
With these five key figures being taken away, the remaining small fry would be relatively easy for Ryan to manage. The main issue was that these five were too powerful for Ryan to handle effectively.
After explaining matters to Ryan, Chen Mo prepared to depart.
"The five of you, the Chief Commander needs support right now. Please co with to provide assistance. You barely expended any energy on the city tower just now; I trust your combat strength is still ample?"
Since they had chosen to surrender, they naturally needed to make a show of their commitnt. The five had no objections to Chen Mo’s request and nodded imdiately in agreent.
Chen Mo led the five as they stepped onto the Teleportation Array again. Soon, they were teleported to Kalsec City, where the Rebel Army’s Chief Commander, Lilith, was leading an assault.
This city was a critical mining town for the Imperial Army. It contained an inexhaustible mine, making Kalsec City the Empire’s most renowned Forging Town. It boasted various high-quality armants, City Defense Equipnt, and fortifications, making it extrely difficult to conquer.
At this mont, Chief Commander Lilith was leading a fierce assault on the town. All their shields were gone, evidently dispelled by an Imperial Marshal or Imperial Generals.
However, Lilith, true to her title as Chief Commander, was very resourceful. Before the attack, she had already dispatched a small team into the city to scout and had found so vulnerabilities for entry.
