Chapter 1534 – Beast Tide (4)
The alliance of the four countries did not come back to counterattack, but rather had come to surrender for
protection.
This turn of events really made people feel ridiculous.
“Originally, it was you who wanted to eliminate us, but were unable to defeat us. Now, you actually run to us
seeking our protection; your four countries are really behaving as if the war didn’t happen. I, Shen Yanxiao, don’t
have such great magnanimity.” Shen Yanxiao sneered. Let them enter the city? God knew if they would
wholeheartedly help them in dealing with the beast tide. At that time, when The Rising Sun City was resisting the
beast tide, wouldn’t this group of people reap the benefits of fishing instead? Such a thing was not impossible.
In particular, there were two commanders in the four-nation alliance who hated her to the bones.
Long Yue bit his lips. Even he knew that these words sounded ridiculous.
Before, they had attacked The Rising Sun City without any reason at all. There were countless deaths and injuries
on both sides. But to think that they were actually seeking protection from Shen Yanxiao now.
Jiang Wan looked at Long Yue before taking a step forward.
“Lord Shen, I know it is too difficult for you to take us in now, but please be merciful. As long as you give the
soldiers a way to live, we are willing to fight the beast tide with The Rising Sun City.”
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wan, who seemed very earnest.
As a matter of fact, Shen Yanxiao was not so decisive. Confronting the demon beasts with the present state of The
Rising Sun City, she and her people only had to sneak into the underground city. But like this, The Rising Sun City
would be completely destroyed. This was their first city in the Barren Land and she did not want to see it destroyed.
Moreover, the beast tide appeared once in a hundred years in the Barren Land. If she would escape into the
underground city every time, did it mean that the city under her hands must be rebuilt every hundred years?
The demon beasts were running rampant in the eastern region. Even if they could hide, the other cities could not
escape being ravaged. Those who were sent to the other main cities would also be in danger. The foundation that she
had laid after so long would then be completely destroyed.
Emotionally, she absolutely did not want to offer shelter to the four-nation alliance, but rationality told Shen
Yanxiao that she could only do this now. However… she would not take them so easily.
“I can let you into the city, but I have three conditions.”
“Please speak!”
“First! I want the commanders of your four countries to enter the city first. I will detain you to prevent you from
mobilizing your armies privately against The Rising Sun City.”
“Second! I want you to hand over all the soldiers in your hands to my command and let them take orders from me.”
“Third, all four commanders must sign a contract for me not to encroach on my Barren Land.”
“If you can’t agree with these three conditions, then just stay outside and die.” Shen Yanxiao was not polite at all.
In an instant, the commanders of the four countries were shocked.
The faces of Qu Xun and Elder Wen were unsightly to the extreme. They and Shen Yanxiao had a past conflict. If
they were detained by Shen Yanxiao, wouldn’t there be some good fruit for them to eat?
Jiang Wan and Shi Heng were carefully thinking about the conditions of Shen Yanxiao. Although these conditions
seemed harsh, it was truly the best choice to ensure the safety of The Rising Sun City.
The detainment of the four commanders would prevent them from doing small moves behind their backs and would
suppress the soldiers of the four countries.
“Do you agree or not? I don’t have much time to spend with you here. Whether you cherish your own lives or the
lives of your soldiers, it depends on your choice.” Shen Yanxiao gave an ultimatum.
Her words caused a wave of arguments from the soldiers of the four countries. This was a crucial moment that
would examine the character of the commanders of the four countries. If they dared to take risks upon themselves, it
would save the lives of the 800,000 people.
