My Passive Skills are Invincible! - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: The Steps
Because the adult stone giants in Walibel valley were not around, there was no need to worry about being heard. Thus, Gerald’s voice was louder, and almost all the nearby centaurs heard it.
They surrounded him with excited expressions and looked at Gerald.
They had been waiting for Gerald to give the order to attack for the past few days. After all, Gerald was the acknowledged new leader out of all of them.
However, Gerald had been unwilling to give the order to attack.
The centaurs had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
Now that Gerald had finally agreed to attack, everyone was naturally very excited.
When all the centaurs had gathered, Gerald did not explain anything. He just pointed at the entrance of the canyon in front and said, “My fellow countrymen, now is the best chance to drive the stone giants away from the Walibel valley. Charge with me!”
With that, he took the lead and charged forward.
The other centaurs followed closely behind, one after another. For a moment, the entire land trembled slightly.
When Timus looked at this scene, he was completely stunned. He sat on the spot with his mouth agape.
He did not understand why Gerald suddenly changed his mind.
Gerald, who was initially hesitant, actually gave the order to attack so decisively. He had only chatted with his teacher for a while.
As he thought about this, Timus could not help but look at Mike.
“Are you wondering why Gerald directly launched an attack after listening to my words?”
Timus widened his eyes and looked at Mike in surprise, then nodded.
Mike, on the other hand, still laid on the ground in a comfortable position. He looked at Timus from the corner of his eyes and slowly said, “The reason is very simple. I just gave Gerald a way out.”
“Way Out? What do you mean?” Timus scratched the back of his head in confusion and asked.
Mike directly sat up and looked at the entrance of Walibel Valley. “His situation is like being on an isolated high platform. He can’t go up or down.
“And the one who sent him to the high platform was the Centaur tribe, which was the main faction behind him.
“All his compatriots were following him. He needed to be responsible for his compatriots behind him, so he had to give the order.
“However, it takes courage to do these things.”
At this point, Mike paused and looked at Timus, “It takes courage to kill, courage to do evil, and courage to plunder. These all require courage for them.
“Gerald can’t make up his mind, so I need to scold him and let him find an attack that he has no choice but to launch.
“This is the step that I helped him build. With this step, Gerald only needed to follow the step down.”
Hearing this, Timus nodded as if he suddenly understood something.
But after a moment, he could not help but ask, “Wait, since Gerald can’t make up his mind, why don’t we just let the other centaurs give the order.
“I think they’ve been wanting to attack for a long time.”
Hearing this, Mike looked at Timus as if he was looking at an idiot.
Timus was a little embarrassed by Mike’s look. He shrunk his neck and asked awkwardly, “Is there something wrong with what I said?”
Mike shook his head helplessly and sighed, “Of course not.
“Do you think that the other war-minded centaurs are more determined than Gerald?”
When Timus heard this, doubt appeared in his eyes.
During this period of time, he clearly felt that all the centaurs wanted to launch an attack. It seemed that only Gerald was still hesitant.
Was that not the case?
Mike gave him an answer.
“Because all the centaurs have a way out. Their way out is Gerald.
“They don’t need to make a decision, and they don’t need to be responsible for what they do next.
“Only Gerald needs to give orders, and only Gerald needs to be responsible.
“And because they are only following orders, they don’t have so much psychological burden. They look much more relaxed.”
With that, he looked at the entrance of the valley again and sighed, “Sometimes, a leader is not just an identity, but more of a responsibility.
“It is not an easy thing to lead so many followers.”
Timus nodded even if he did not understand. He seemed to understand his teacher’s meaning, but he also did not seem to understand it at the same time.
Mike could see Timus’ state, but he did not bother saying anything.
This Timus was completely different from the Timus in the game. He was a young man who was ignorant, so it was normal that he did not understand these words.
Timus would understand these principles in the future.
“Okay, let’s go and see their current situation.” Mike stretched and sat up from the big rock. Timus immediately followed.
The two entered the valley one after the other.
As soon as they entered the valley, Timus and Mike saw a chaotic scene not far away.
They saw the centaurs chasing a group of young stone giants as they tried to drive them out of Walibel Valley.
These young stone giants were obviously unwilling to leave, but they did not know how to resist. They could only be chased around by the centaurs.
However, the strangest thing about this scene was that these centaurs had chased after them for a long time without killing a single stone giant.
Logically speaking, a race like the stone giants that moved slowly and had low intelligence should be easily wiped out by the centaurs.
Not to mention, they were young stone giants, even if all the adult stone giants did not leave the valley, the centaurs could easily wipe them out.
After all, the stone giants’ attack style was very simple.
The long-range attack style was only rock throwing, while the close-range attack style was only left with the most basic punches and kicks.
This kind of simple attack style was like a child’s play in front of the highly mobile centaurs. It would be very easy to deal with them.
However, under such an extremely unequal situation, they were still unable to finish off this attack.
Mike sighed helplessly, walked up and shouted, “Why are you still not done?”
Not far away, Gerald, who chased a young stone giant, stopped with a troubled expression and explained to Mike, “Give me a little more time, we’ll be done soon.”
However, these words were very unconvincing.
Mike rubbed his forehead helplessly as he slowly walked forward, pulled out the Sword of the King in his hand, and said, “Gerald, if you really can’t do it, why don’t you hurry back to Phineas and be a good boy.
“And if you really want to be an evil person in the future, you must be ruthless. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be seriously injured.
“As for this time… let me help you.”
The moment the Sword of the King was pulled out of its sheath, his entire body immediately released an extremely strong killing intent.
At the same time, the soul stone on Gerald’s waist also quietly emitted a light blue light!
