BXBX NOVEL 80 Chapter 80
He Chuan knew too well the intrigue of the royal family.
He did not need the help of the deduction system to avoid these risks.
Freedom City was located to the west of Glory City. It was close to the border and had to cross the Gobi Desert.
This distance was not considered far for an awakened like He Chuan.
As long as he put the spiritual energy to his feet, he could significantly increase his traveling speed.
It was estimated that within one to two hours, he would be able to cover half a day's journey for an ordinary person.
However, what surprised He Chuan was that.
There were many traces of human activity in the Gobi Desert in the middle of winter.
Following these traces, he took a closer look and realized they were actually familiar faces!
Azure Dragon Army!
The awakened ones had powerful perceptive abilities.
They could hear what these people were saying from a great distance.
He Chuan originally did not intend to care about them.
Who would have thought?
He suddenly heard the Azure Dragon Marshal talking about him.
"It's all that kid He Chuan's fault! Would there be so much trouble if he hadn't been demoted to Glory City?"
Another voice sounded a little submissive as he probed, "Sir, there's only half a day's rations left in the army. What should we do?"
"What should we do? What do you want me to do?"
The Azure Dragon Marshal sounded very angry, "Who would have thought that the Crown Prince would kill us? Can you imagine that? Huh?"
"Sigh, Sir, since ancient times, the royal family has always been fickle in favor. Even if we can't disobey the Crown Prince's orders, we have to leave a way out before we trip He Chuan..."
"Way out? Heh, now even Freedom City has our bounty on it. Where else can we go?"
The Azure Dragon Marshal was fuming, "The Crown Prince has already made a plan. After we incite our Azure Dragon Legion to leave Glory City, he will pin the crime of treason on us and turn us into rats in the street. Everyone wants to step on us!"
"Sir, I do have an idea."
"Don't dawdle. Hurry up and say it!"
"The beast tide is approaching. After we leave Glory City, the city's defenses will be empty. As long as you are willing to put down your ego and tell He Chuan everything was ordered by the Crown Prince, there might still be a chance."
"Scram! If I go back now, how will the soldiers look at me? How will they lead the troops in the future? Besides, do you think he is a fool? Will he believe such words?"
"Hehe, Sir, think about it. We are indeed rats in the street, but how good can He Chuan be? Isn't he also alone? Whether he believes it or not, if we said we want to protect Glory City, he still has to rely on us!"
As he spoke, the man's voice paused, "After we survive the beast tide, won't Glory City... be yours?"
"Do you really want me to rebel?"
The Azure Dragon Marshal thought for a long time before he said the second half of his sentence, "Do you know that this is a crime that implicates the nine generations? It affects the entire family."
"But isn't that the crime that you are now carrying? Whether it's true or false, what's the difference?"
"Wang Cheng, you have to be clear. The Crown Prince saying we're conspiring against him is just putting a cap on it. If we return to the capital and confess, at most, we'll be considered deserters and be imprisoned for a few years!"
"Sir, can we still return?"
"..."
The tent fell into a short silence.
It seemed that the Azure Dragon Marshal was also struggling with this problem.
When He Chuan heard this, the corners of his mouth had already curled up slightly.
Everything turned out to be a trap the Crown Prince had secretly dug for him.
He wanted to make Glory City's defensive troops insufficient so that he would be dead in the mouth of the beast.
No wonder Green Dragon's Marshal had agreed so readily at that time.
He did not hesitate at all.
Unfortunately, he had also been plotted against by the Crown Prince now.
He could not go anywhere and only struggled for his life in the wilderness.
He had initially wanted to rob the dojo to extend their life, but he had stumbled upon it by chance.
As the old saying goes, it was cutting off one's nose to spite one's face!
Speaking of which, this big brother was quite ruthless in doing things.
In order to make him lose the chance to go back and fight for the throne.
He could push all the people in Glory City to die with him!
He had to be said to be very bold!
He was a person who could do great things.
Unfortunately, his methods were a little dark.
They were too dirty.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Marshal and deputy general also walked out of the tent.
They had just discussed and decided.
Return to Glory City!
On the surface, they pretended to surrender. After they survived the beast tide, they would stab He Chuan from the back and occupy Glory City. Then, they would use this as capital to defect to other countries!
This plan was a little too big.
Although Glory City was located in a mountain range, its strategic location was essential.
As long as they occupied this place, they could cut off the communication between Freedom City and the imperial court, turning Freedom City into an isolated island!
Freedom City was such a huge piece of meat. It was impossible for the two countries bordering it and currently at war not to know about it.
The war maniacs and ambitious people would not let go of such an opportunity.
If Green Dragon's Marshal succeeded, they might be able to escape from the predicament and escape the trap set by the Crown Prince.
Unfortunately, He Chuan had heard it.
This plan was doomed to fail.
After thinking about it, He Chuan did not alert the enemy.
He had initially planned to destroy the Azure Dragon Legion, but he temporarily let them go because he was not strong enough.
Now that these people were rushing to Glory City to die, he naturally would not stop them.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
A monstrous beast cry suddenly sounded in the direction of Glory City in the east.
He Chuan couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that the beast tide had begun?
No, it had only been half a month.
The strangebeasts could still find food in the forest.
It was impossible for them to leave their territory so quickly.
There must be another reason!
He turned his gaze and looked around.
Then, he saw an intersection of the white mountain range that blocked the Gobi Desert had collapsed!
Avalanche?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he saw countless large-scale strange beasts fleeing on the horizon, trying to escape this disaster.
But he didn't expect that the disaster would come again and again. Soon after, a powerful tremor came from under his feet.
For a moment, the mountain shook, and the earth trembled.
The fragile layer of rocks was shattered under the impact of this natural energy.
Even the earth was torn apart!
