Pavel listened to Justin's forthright words and responded just as directly, "Yes, I want to defect to Hope Village. In this upcoming Territory War, I have already received orders from the Lord Mansion. I am to be in the first wave of the assault. In a Territory War, you know what it means to be in the first wave—the death rate of the entire team can reach a staggering sixty percent. We have given so much to the territory, but when it comes time to make sacrifices, they don't even bat an eye. Is there really any need for us to keep fighting for such a territory?"
Justin's face turned pale at once.
The assault squad!
After a moment, Justin said, "But will things be different in Hope Village? How will they treat us soldiers who have changed sides mid-way? Promises are easily made and just as easily broken."
"I don't know what the final outcome will be, but for now, defecting to Hope Village seems to be the best way for our team to survive longer," Pavel replied honestly.
