Chapter 1535 - Beast Tide (5)
“I accept your conditions.” Shi Heng was the first one to agree. Unlike other people, many of his soldiers were
mercenaries that had gone through fire and water with him. He did not want to risk their lives.
If they could not enter The Rising Sun City, their whole army would inevitably be wiped out. But if they cooperated
with Shen Yanxiao, they would at least have a chance to live.
“Shi Heng! You are crazy! You think it will be fine if she gets her hands on us? She’s gonna get back at us and kill
us!” Qu Xun did not expect Shi Heng to agree to Shen Yanxiao’s conditions so quickly.
Shi Heng did not pay attention to the shouting of Qu Xun. He just looked at Shen Yanxiao and said, “I am willing to
be detained by you, and I am willing to hand over my army to you. I only hope that Lord Shen can consider the
sentiments between you and the head of the Blizzard Mercenary Corps and won’t let these people die.”
At this time, Shi Heng had to bring Long Fei out. He now felt how ridiculous he was. Maybe he should have
opposed to this event with Long Fei at the very beginning; then, this would not have happened.
“You! You’re crazy! You want to die!” Qu Xun roared.
Shi Heng frowned and replied to him, “I don’t want to die; I just want my people to go back alive.”
Qu Xun opened his mouth wide. He couldn’t understand the practice of Shi Heng. In the eyes of a noble like him, it
was only natural for soldiers to sacrifice their lives for them. To sacrifice his own life just for the sake of a group of
people beneath him, he was absolutely unable to do it.
The words of Shi Heng also brought great shock to the soldiers of the four-nation alliance.
The soldiers of the Divine WInd Alliance were proud to have such a commander, and the other soldiers were
envious of the soldiers of the Divine Wind Alliance for having such a commander, one who was willing to sacrifice
his own life for them.
Shi Heng was a stark contrast to Qu Xun. One was treating his soldiers as brothers and one was treating his soldiers
as stepping stones.
Jiang Wan looked at Shi Heng and smiled lightly. He stepped forward and said, “I am also willing to accept the
conditions of Lord Shen. There is only one thing I want Lord Shen to accept.”
“Speak.”
“Please take good care of Prince Long Yue; he is the future hope of the Long Xuan Empire.”
“I promise you.”
With the answers from Shi Heng and Jiang Wan, the turmoil in the alliance of the four countries was growing.
The soldiers were not afraid of death, but they hoped that they were dying for worthy people, not for those who did
not care about their lives.
Elder Wen was struggling in his heart. He and Shen Yanxiao had deep grievances, but now the situation did not
allow him to choose. To not accept was to die, to accept was to have a hope of survival. Moreover, Shi Heng and
Jiang Wan had already expressed their views. At this time, if he refused Shen Yanxiao’s conditions, then the soldiers
behind him would definitely loathe him.
After a long struggle, Elder Wen finally accepted the conditions of Shen Yanxiao in order to take care of his own
reputation.
Right now, only Qu Xun in the four-nation alliance had yet to take a stand.
“Qu Xun, what is your answer?” Shen Yanxiao looked at this most unremarkable commander with her hands
crossed over her chest.
Qu Xun gritted his teeth. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and responded, “I won’t give you this opportunity! I know you
just want to find an excuse to torture me and take revenge on me! Why should I accept your conditions! I have
hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my hands! I can still fight! Even if I can’t beat the demon beasts, can’t I
escape? If you think I will sacrifice myself for these people, you’re dreaming! Shen Yanxiao, you’re truly extremely
despicable!”
Qu Xun, who had always sat in a lofty position, simply did not realize that his words had angered the soldiers of the
Lan Yue Dynasty.
