The Azure Dragon Marshal’s words were very interesting.
On the surface, it seemed like he was taking all the blame and asking He Chuan to forgive the others.
But in reality, it was a disguised threat.
Everyone knew that since He Chuan came to glory city, he did most the things to care for the people and think for everyone.
In Xu Ke’s eyes, this City Lord was wise, strategic, farsighted, and knew the big picture.
In Lin Cheng’s eyes, this City Lord was generous, capable, and powerful.
In the eyes of the people, this prince of the royal family was their savior, the light of hope to save them.
When people looked at him from different angles, their final impression would be different.
However, he never put on airs in a high position. His kindness and integrity were the only consensuses in everyone’s hearts.
The Azure Dragon Marshal was using this point to borrow the ‘opinions’ of the people to force He Chuan to nod his head and agree to let them take refuge in the city.
You are a good City Lord. You can’t just watch as the tens of thousands of soldiers of Glory City were swallowed up by the beast tide, right?
Do you still want your character set up?
If you do, let us enter the city!
This move wasn’t very brilliant. The Azure Dragon Marshal believed that most of the higher-ups of Glory City could see through it.
In fact, they could even guess what he would do next!
Plead for the Azure Dragon Legion and stop the City Lord from punishing him!
But what could he do even if they knew?
What could the City Lord do then?
In order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, he had to put it on hold for now and let him continue to be the Azure Dragon Commander!
This was a dilemma between advance and retreat.
It was a pure conspiracy.
Even if they knew his plan, they still had to step on it!
Glory City’s defense was currently empty, and they lacked a workforce. No matter the reason, it was impossible for them to remain unmoved in the face of 20,000 reinforcements!
Azure Dragon Marshal couldn’t help but feel a little smug when he thought of this.
He felt that the plan this time was flawless.
Not only did he consider Glory City’s city defense strength, but he also thoroughly analyzed He Chuan’s character and used such a statement that he couldn’t reject.
But who would have thought.
The scene of He Chuan frowning did not appear in his imagination.
This youth still maintained his originally calm smile.
In fact, there was even a hint of playfulness in the gaze he was looking at him with!
What did this mean?
The Azure Dragon Marshal could not understand.
In the next moment, He Chuan cleared his doubts.
The City Lord waved his hand.
Instantly, countless figures flew out from behind the city wall and landed on the city wall.
They only stood there for a brief moment, but the murderous aura emanating from their bodies already made everyone feel an extremely terrifying pressure!
This temperament could only be honed after a life and death battle.
Moreover, it was linked to strength!
If one was randomly picked, the entire Azure Dragon Legion wouldn’t be able to find anyone who could contend against them.
Not even the Azure Dragon Marshal himself!
“Awakened?”
He was dumbfounded. “That’s impossible. How could there be awakened in Glory City? Even if they’re pseudo awakened, there can be so many of them!”
“Then I have to thank you.” He Chuan smiled. “If you hadn’t gone to the Wuji Dojo to stir up trouble, I wouldn’t have gained so much.”
As He Chuan spoke, his voice paused, and his gaze suddenly became sharp, “The Azure Dragon Legion, from the Marshal to the soldiers, have committed many crimes in Glory City? If I let you in, not to mention that I won’t agree, but the people in the city won’t agree!”
The Azure Dragon Marshal’s face suddenly became somewhat embarrassed. “City Lord, don’t blame me for not warning you. The beast tide is about to arrive. If you don’t accept the Azure Dragon Legion, will you be able to defend Glory City?”
“If 10,000 awakened ones can’t defend the city, what’s the use of having 20,000 ordinary soldiers?”
He Chuan was expressionless. “If you want to live, answer my question honestly.”
The Marshal of the Azure Dragon Legion gritted his teeth. After thinking about it, he felt that his life was more important. In the end, he swallowed his anger. “Alright, go ahead!”
“How many methods did the crown prince use to kill me?”
“I don’t know.”
“You better tell me the truth.”
He Chuan narrowed his eyes. The deductive system told him that the expression on the Azure Dragon Marshal’s face was unnatural. There was a high chance that he was lying.
“Then you have to promise me that the Azure Dragon Legion and I can enter the city to recuperate.” The Azure Dragon Marshal blurted out.
He Chuan snorted coldly. “You don’t have the right to make demands on me, much less teach me how to do things. If you don’t want to tell me, then just get lost. Don’t be a hindrance here.”
The Azure Dragon Marshal couldn’t help but fall silent.
The sudden change had caught him by surprise.
He didn’t expect that the scheme he was so proud of would actually be so fragile.
He didn’t expect that this young lad, He Chuan, would actually be able to hold the power of speech with just a few words.
Not only did he expose the loopholes in his scheme, he even easily controlled him.
This meticulous observation and judgment were genuinely terrifying.
Only then did Green Dragon Marshal realize what a terrifying opponent he was facing.
In the blink of an eye, the table had been turned and he had to make a tough decision.
Should he say it or not?
Actually, whether he said it or not, it wouldn’t cause any more trouble for him.
The Crown Prince wouldn’t take revenge on him at this time.
But if he told him everything, wouldn’t he be of no more use to He Chuan?
Then how could he enter the city?
But he didn’t have any more choices.
The Azure Dragon Marshal decided to take a gamble in the end.
He bet that He Chuan was a kind person.
He couldn’t bear to see 20,000 people drowned in the beast tide and exposed to the wilderness.
At that moment, he told him everything he knew.
He Chuan listened carefully, using the deductive system to judge every word.
After confirming what the other party said was true, he could not help but complain.
“Your heart is truly black!”
The Azure Dragon Marshal urged at this time.
“City Lord, can you let us into the city now?”
Unexpectedly, He Chuan shook his head gently.
The Azure Dragon Marshal was instantly furious. “F*ck, I’ve already told you everything you want to know. Now you want to go back on your word?”
Xu Ke could not help but retort, “His Highness did not say that he would let you enter the city. Can you stop imagining things?”
The Azure Dragon Marshal clenched his fists. His anger had already gone to his head. He had already forgotten about the beast tide and his life.
His only thought was to attack the city!
Ten thousand awakened ones, right?
I have twenty thousand soldiers. Even if all of them die, I will still bite off a piece of your flesh!
“Soldiers!” The Azure Dragon Marshal shouted, “Even if you die, you will still held your heads up. Today, you are being bullied to such an extent. Can you bear it! ?”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The battle cries shook the sky.
This wave of morale-raising was very effective.
Right at this moment, the cries of beasts rang out.
The sounds here startled the approaching beasts.
The members of the Azure Dragon Legion immediately became nervous.
The soldiers at the back turned around one after another, looking at the Dark Forest in panic.
He Chuan suddenly raised his hand.
Majestic spiritual energy circled and condensed above his head, becoming denser and denser, so much so that it turned from transparent to a water-green gas with substance.
In an instant.
With a bang, it burned into a blazing red color again.
The fire clouds burned in the sky above the city, covering the sky and outshining the sun. All of a sudden, everyone present was shocked.
Green Dragon Marshal’s eyes were filled with shock.
How could this kid be so powerful?
He Chuan stood in the air with an indifferent expression.
“The beast tide is coming. Everyone, get ready to fight!”
“Green Dragon Marshal, if you want to live, let your subordinates fight together.”
“If you want to escape, go ahead.”
Green Dragon Marshal gritted his teeth.
Damn it.
The beast tide had already rushed up to his butt, how could he escape!
