Undying Warlord

Chapter 242 Leading around



Dilan had guessed that some of the Ascenders would try to join Felia’s group to have fewer problems getting into the Blue Star camp.

He also guessed that Felia would reject them. As a woman, she wouldn’t accept anyone in their group, who protected rapists, and as a leader, Felia wouldn’t accept anyone, whom she couldn’t trust the slightest bit.

Of course, Dilan knew that his assumptions could be wrong, but when Ailee returned from the mission he had given her, she reported to him what had happened.

“So, I was right. That’s great, I guess.” Dilan merely said before he turned quiet again.

The atmosphere around Dilan was tense. Many Survivors looked at him in fear, and they didn’t know what to think about their leader’s actions.

Nobody dared to say anything against Dilan, not after what they had just witnessed, but the Survivor’s eyes spoke volumes about their doubts, fears, and uncertainties.

Kathrine didn’t like the way survivors reacted. Whether Dilan did the right or the wrong thing, there was no need for them to doubt or fear him.

Of course, one would feel fear upon seeing someone cutting apart other fellow humans before exiling his own people, threatening to kill them if they wouldn’t leave his sight and to actually see him kill them.

However, right now, Dilan didn’t release the same frightening pressure, and he didn’t have the intention to kill someone without any reason..

One could tell that his anger had subsided and that he didn’t have the intention to kill anyone around him.

Everyone knew that Dilan was doing all of this for the group’s sake, and not for his own. That was, at least, what Kathrine believed, which was also why she didn’t fear Dilan at all.

Nonetheless, it was impossible for her to avoid accepting the fact that Dilan killed his own people, mercilessly at that after they didn’t leave his sight in the five seconds he gave them.

“I hope we did the right thing… It looks like we have to become even stronger. The Blue Star camp might attack us soon.” Kathrine sighed deeply, without realizing that her voice had been louder than expected.

Many Survivors nodded their heads at Kathrine’s comment, while others trembled, thinking that Dilan might do something to Kathrine, just because she didn’t actually sound as if she believed that he did the right thing.

That was not how Kathrine intended to sound, and she didn’t even notice that she had let her doubts creep in her voice as if she was openly stating that she was not sure of Dilan’s actions.

Dilan merely threw a glance at Kathrine, who acted as if she didn’t say something that could potentially cause a domino effect to lead more Survivors to speak up against him.

Understanding that it was her slip of the tongue, Dilan could only smile faintly. He shook his head and was about to say something when Yvonne began to speak up.

“How about everyone or a few of you reveal your opinion about Dilan’s actions. Was he too harsh to the soldiers or the traitors? Did they deserve to die, or would it have been fair to let them survive?

While revealing your opinion, please consider that it might have been you guys who might have been raped, or potentially beaten to death by the Soldiers while the traitors prevented anyone from helping you.

Furthermore, think about why Dilan did everything he just did, and what others would think about him if he were to be generous enough to give everyone a second chance. Would they take Dilan seriously, or would they take him as a wimp?”

It was obvious that Yvonne was trying to beat some sense in the foolish group members and bring everyone to Dilan’s side. They were supposed to look at the entire incident through Dilan’s eyes, and figure out what he did, why he did it, and what kind of aftermath other decisions would have caused.

However, nobody dared to voice their opinion. Most Survivors were too scared to say something wrong, fearing that Dilan would throw a fit.

Thus, it was Yvonne, who was the first one to reveal her honest opinion.

“If nobody speaks, I guess that it will be fine for me to start.

I can only speak for myself, but I’m grateful to Dilan. He was already severely injured when he heard that someone was trying to **** one of his people. Without thinking twice he rushed over and he freed Marie, ignoring his injury that tore open once again.

Killing the Soldiers was the right choice, and if Dilan wouldn’t have done it, I would have! As for exiling the Survivors and Ascenders, who protected the Soldiers while simultaneously preventing others from helping them, they deserved death as well.

In my opinion, their action was even worse than the attempted **** of the Soldiers. We trusted these Survivors and Ascenders, and they betrayed us the moment an opportunity to leave us and join a different group presented itself.

They didn’t even know much about the Blue Star camp and had just heard that the military is in control of it. However, as everyone saw, even the military is not all that glorious because they have rapists amongst them.

And do you think, the higher-ups in the other groups or camps are different than they have been in the past? I believe that they will be the same, or even worse than before. They won’t be put in prison, let alone killed for raping someone.

It would already be a surprise if they were awarded some kind of punishment, to begin with. Would anyone with power fear raping a weak woman? Definitely not! Would the weak have to live in fear, even if they were safe from powerful monsters in the Blue Star camp? Yes, because they can never know when a powerful Ascender would decide to cast his evil gaze on them!”

Yvonne had much more to say, but she decided to end it here. It was the first time for her to address a big crowd and continue speaking despite noticing all the gazes on herself.

Normally, she was shy and kept to herself. However, she thought that it was necessary for her to speak her mind right now. After all, Dilan had rescued her from getting raped as well.

When she had been powerless and expecting death than getting violated at the hands of the psychopathic guy on the fourth floor of the Rian mountainside hospital, Dilan was the one who had saved her.

Afterward, he killed everyone, who tried to **** someone, creating graphic examples of what would happen to anyone, who dared to **** someone in his group.

In Yvonne’s opinion, Dilan’s actions were great, simply because they prevented others from thinking that they would be able to leave unscathed after doing some stupid shit.

Some Survivors nodded their heads upon hearing Yvonne’s words. Meanwhile, others could only shake their heads. They thought that Yvonne was biased.

But what those Survivors didn’t expect was to hear that others began to reveal their honest opinion about Dilan’s actions as well.

Most even said that nobody would dare to do anything to him and that they had only issues with Dilan’s frightening presence whenever something happened.

“He did the right thing.”

“Nobody would dare to **** us as long as they know that death would greet them the moment they attempt it.”

“These fucking traitors deserved to die! It was already generous enough of Dilan to give them five seconds to run for their lives!!”

“Was it really necessary to kill the traitors? Didn’t some of them acknowledge that what they did was wrong and that they wanted to apologize?”

“Are you a fool? They wanted to save their skin, nothing more! In their opinion, everything they did was perfectly fine, and they would have done it again, the moment they sensed an opportunity to join another group or to gain more benefits! They would have betrayed us, either way, so they deserved death!!”

“We were extremely lucky that their betrayal ended up like this. Imagine that if a monster tide happened, and they would lead the monster tide to us to save themselves!!”

The more people shared their opinion, the better the situation became. The tension cleared as more people spoke in support of Dilan.

This was a great sign, and Dilan couldn’t help but nod toward Yvonne thankfully. She had done a fine job of leading everyone’s thoughts in the direction she wanted. This was not something everyone could do.

However, Yvonne did so easily, without the need to actually think about what she was doing. She did it with a straight face and one couldn’t even detect if she was proud of what she did, if she was satisfied with the result or if something bothered her.

Even for Dilan, this nonchalant behavior of the shy and timid girl was astonishing.

‘Looks like I don’t have to say anything. Well, that is a change that I can appreciate.’ He simply thought with a faint smile on his face as he continued to pay attention to the unfolding situation in front of them.

Yet, there was one question that attracted most of his attention, which was why he chose to discard his earlier thought of not needing to speak.

“But what will happen now? The Soldiers are already killed, and I don’t believe that the Blue Star camp will leave us alone. Will they attack us in retaliation, thinking that their soldiers were killed to provoke them?”
