C18 (1/2)
The middle-aged general sized up the three of them and asked, ”Who are you people? Did it escape from the Town in front? ”
”Master, we were hired by Town, we really couldn't stop the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf …” A look of embarrassment crossed his face.
Nodding his head, the middle-aged general did not seem to care and continued to ask, ”How did you escape from the Town with that number of Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves? Are there still living people in the Town? ”
”Lord, when we escaped, there were still people resisting, but now …” Actually, we couldn't have escaped either. It was only because that senior in the carriage risked his life to block the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Wolf King that we managed to escape. ” Desri looked at the Beast Cart and said respectfully.
The middle-aged general's eyes flashed with surprise. ”No wonder, no wonder the Blood-Thirsty Wolf King was injured so badly, so that's how it is …”
He was very clear about how strong that Blood-Thirsty Wolf King was. Even though the Wolf King was heavily injured, and he had almost not taken it down just now, even if he had managed to take it down eventually, the counterattack from the Wolf King had still caused him to lose many of his subordinates.
One had to know that he was a high class martial general! Under the situation where the Wolf King was already heavily injured, he almost could not take it down. From this, it could be imagined how strong the Wolf King was. Most likely, without Martial King, one would not be a match for the Wolf King.
At the same time, he was also very glad. If not for the Wolf King still being heavily injured, he did not know how many subordinates he would have to die to exterminate the wolf pack.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged general became even more serious and asked loudly, ”My friends in the carriage, can we have a chat?”
”How could my daughter dare to disobey my lord's request?” Jing Xin opened the car door, and Liu Xu slowly got off, nodding to the middle aged officer.
Looking at the calm and tranquil Liu Xu, the middle-aged general's eyes flashed with a trace of amazement. He sized her up and sighed, ”I didn't think that you would be able to reach such a level at such a young age. Your future achievements are limitless …” May I know who you are? ”
”My master is Ye Rushuang.” Liu Xu replied.
Surprise flashed across the middle-aged general's eyes: ”Ye Rushuang?! So it was Secct Master Ye's disciple! No wonder... No wonder... I wonder how Secct Master Ye is doing? ”
”Thank you for your concern, master.”
Is that so? Back then, I also had the honor of meeting Master Ye. Sect Master Ye is an astounding talent. Just like you, she became a martial king at such a young age. Now that so many years have passed, she should have already stepped into a height that I can't even look up to, right? ”Lady, as the disciple of Sect Master Ye, you have surpassed your peers. As expected, you have a master, but you have a disciple …
”Lord, you praise too much.”
”Girl, you're too modest … ”Miss, you are in a hurry, but what urgent matter do you need to take care of?”
”Lord, we are preparing to head to our sect!”
”Oh? Although the Azure Cloud Sect is not far from here, it is still not close. Since we have traveled a long way, how about I send a few people to escort you back? ”
”Master, you need not worry too much about such a small matter. Master, just now, after fighting with the Wolf King, my daughter is not feeling well right now. I wonder if you would allow us to leave first? ”
”Oh? ”Alright, since young lady is not feeling well today, I won't disturb you any further. We'll chat again another time when there's a chance …”
”Thank you sire for your understanding …” That little girl won't disturb the Lord's office anymore. ” Liu Xu nodded, and returned to the carriage with Jing Xin.
At this time, the three of them were already dumbstruck, they did not think that Liu Xu would actually be someone from Azure Cloud Sect.
The Azure Cloud Sect was a sect that was hidden from the world.
They were extremely powerful and rarely accepted disciples. Those that were able to enter were all people with outstanding talents. This was a place that everyone in this country yearned for in their dreams.
When they thought that Liu Xu had come out of the Azure Cloud Sect, at the same time that they were shocked, they also understood a little. They understood the true reason why Liu Xu's strength was so strong at such a young age.
Not long after parting with Liu Xu, the middle-aged general and his cavalry arrived at Town.
When the residents of Town heard those heavy footsteps, they thought that the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf had come back, so they hid back home.
It was only at the shouts of the soldiers that they dared to walk out of their houses. Seeing the Imperial Army they had been looking forward to for so long, they couldn't help but shed tears.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe came up to greet the middle-aged general and respectfully said, ”I am the mayor of this town, and I represent the entire town to thank sire for helping out the town in such a busy time.”
”Yeah, did you find out the reason behind the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's attack on Town?” The middle-aged general nodded and said.
”Ugh …” This... I haven't found out the reason yet. ” The mayor stuttered.
”Trash!” How did you become a mayor? He still could not find out the reason even after so many days? What does the Empire want you to do?! ” The middle-aged general scolded the mayor.
”Yes …” Yes, I am incompetent. I will definitely find out the reason as soon as possible. ” The mayor's forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he nodded repeatedly.
”Handsome and handsome, don't run! Handsome and handsome!”
At that moment, a girl chased after a small magical beast. Smelling the scent, the small magical beast began to grimace at the commander before opening its mouth to bite him.
The middle-aged officer glared angrily. The soldier beside him took out a sword and beheaded the little magical beast. Seeing that his pet had died, the little girl started to cry out loud.
”Whose child is she?” The middle-aged general pointed at the little girl and said coldly.
”Master, she is my daughter,” the mayor said with a head full of sweat.
”Very good! I finally understand why the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolf attacked here. I finally understand why you couldn't find out the reason. You must have stolen this little wolf cub from the Blood-Thirsty Wolf King, right?! For his own selfish desire, he had harmed the entire Town. I will report this matter to the mayor truthfully! Do your best! ”
The middle-aged general looked at the mayor with a cold face, turned around and left with his cavalry.
The Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf had already been exterminated, and their cause had also been found. They no longer had any reason to stay here any longer.
The mayor was about to beg for mercy, but who knew that the middle-aged general wouldn't even give him the chance to beg for mercy before turning around and leaving. His heart was like dying embers as he kneeled on the ground and shouted loudly, ”My lord … it's all injustice …” I really didn't know that little bastard was a wolf! ”
The little girl was still crying, ”Wu …” My handsome face! My handsome face is dead! Scoundrel! He's a bad guy! ”Howl …”
The conversation between the mayor and the middle-aged general made everyone present understand what had happened. They immediately surrounded the two with faces full of anger.
”I thought that the magical beasts on the grassland would come all the way here to attack our town. It turns out it's you little wolf cubs who stole the Wolf King!”
”The big ones are not good things! This little one isn't any good either! They're the ones who hurt our town! Smash them to death to avenge our town! ”
