“Now! ”
When they heard Moxiu say the word ‘now’, the other four people in the room all came over.
They were Cao Fenglin, Xiao Hong, Fang Yong, and Xiao Xinru.
Including MO Xiu, the five of them had arrived at Shun City on the night of the 5th of November. They had been hiding in this house until now.
During this period of time, MO Xiu had been constantly communicating with the few people in Yan City to ask about the progress. Just now, Yang Zekun sent a message saying that the plan had succeeded and had trapped Bai Fan and Zhou Qiuwu.
The other four started to complain. Weren’t they supposed to be the vanguard? Why didn’t he do anything after coming here?
Moxiu called the five of them the Special Operations Team, saying that whether this incident could be successfully resolved depended on the performance of the five of them.
However, Moxiu hadn’t given a single order.
Xiao Xinru was the last person MO Xiu came to find. At that time, Hao Ren sent MO Xiu a message saying that someone wanted to see him.
This person was Xiao Xinru. The reason why he wanted to see Moxiu was very simple. His skill had leveled up again, and he wanted to see Moxiu to test its effects.
Thunder Crash had reached level six. Xiao Xinru was only a first-year student, but her skill had already reached level six. It was simply terrifying.
Moxiu had used God’s Snooping at that time.
“Skill 1: Thunderbolt 6(ready to be used)
[Skill effect: Explodes lightning within a 500-meter range (range can be adjusted at any time). The number of lightning bolts is one million. Lightning bolts have a paralysis effect.]
Additional effect: The main body is immune to lightning damage.
[Duration: 1 minute]
Cooldown time: 1 hour.”
When Moxiu saw the terrifying effect of the skill, how could he dare to test it out with him?
However, he told Xiao Xinru that he could bring him somewhere else to test its power.
Just like that, Moxiu managed to trick Xiao Xinru into coming over. This Mage with large AOE damage was a god-like weapon against the firearms army.
The few of them rubbed their hands and waited for Moxiu to give the order to start working.
“How do you think we should fight?” Fang Yong asked. How do we fight?
“I’ll go out first to get a key!”
Xiao Hong was getting impatient as well.””Wait? Right now, Yan City has tens of thousands of armed soldiers. It’s hard to defeat them, but isn’t our goal to save people? With some movement and Yue Long’s cooperation, they should be able to save most of the residents in the city.” “I have to correct two of your mistakes,” Moxiu said with a smile.”
“What mistake?” Xiao Hong narrowed her eyes.”
“Firstly, we are not going to save most of them, but everyone! Secondly, the strongest force in Shun City was not the firearms army!”
Shun City, noon.
In the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion.
After the cheers from yesterday evening, only the occasional conversation could be heard outside. The voices were so far away that Qingfeng Ye couldn’t hear them clearly.
Qingfeng Ye sat on the ground with lifeless eyes. He hadn’t eaten anything since he was locked up. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to eat, but he didn’t have anything to eat.
There was no one here, not even a person who delivered food. There was only a bucket of water in the corner.
Qingfeng Ye knew that the Old City Lord had given up on him. On the surface, he was locked up, but in fact, he wanted to starve to death.
In just two days, Qingfeng Ye had lost a lot of weight. This wasn’t what made him sad. What made him sad was that he didn’t know what was happening outside.
Shun Citv…Are vou still there?
In his despair, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Qingfeng Ye immediately stood up and rushed to the door, shouting,””Who is it? Tell me what happened outside!!!”
There was no response. The footsteps stopped outside the door, followed by the sound of a key opening the iron door.
Qingfeng Ye took two steps back and looked at the door. He wanted to see who would come at this time.
The iron door opened and a person walked in. His face and figure could not be seen clearly as he was covered by a huge cloak. ” Who are you?” Qingfeng Ye asked. Why are you here?”
A voice came from within the cloak.
“You disappoint me. Can this iron door lock you in? Or is there a door in your heart?”
“I… I, tell me what happened outside?”
‘What happened outside? Go and see for yourself! Do you still remember what you said before?”
‘What words?”
‘You will always stand on the side of justice.”
Qingfeng Ye widened his eyes and said, “You…” You are MO Xiu? How did you get
The hood on his cloak slid off, revealing his face. It was MO Xiu!
“I’m here to save the citizens of the city!”
Qingfeng Ye hesitated when he saw it was MO Xiu.
” You should leave now. I don’t know how you got in here, but it’s very dangerous here. It’s useless to save me. If you can save all the people in the city, I, Qingfeng Ye, will die without regrets!’”‘
‘ Coward!!
MO Xiu berated sternly.
Qingfeng Ye didn’t retort and lowered his head.
“Do you have no regrets in dying? How will your death help the citizens of the city? As the commander of the Shun City Army, what have you done for the entire city in this time of crisis? Was he going to lock himself up here? You’re just running away. You’re a complete coward. You can’t make a choice just because you can’t?”
“Don’t say anymore!”
“Even if you choose to support Qiu Qiming and join the firearms army, I won’t look down on you like this. I don’t know Uncle Ye. He is not worthy of being the commander of the Shun City Army.”
‘ I told you to stop!!!”
Ye Qingfeng kneeled on the ground and cried out in his heart.
“You can still be angry, which means that your heart hasn’t died yet,” said Moxiu.”
Qingfeng Ye calmed down and said, “”1 also want to make a choice, but on one side, I have to protect the faith of the city, and on the other, I have to be disloyal and unfilial.”
“Let me ask you, what are you and your father loyal to?”
This sentence struck straight to the soul, Ye Qingfeng was stunned. That’s right, what is loyalty?
MO Xiu’s tone gradually softened. He pointed at the door and said,”ls it this Qiu Qiming who disregarded the lives of the entire city and did such a heartless thing? Is this the Qiu Qiming who locked you up here and didn’t give you a single bite of food?”
Qingfeng Ye seemed to understand.
Moxiu continued,” No, it definitely isn’t. It’s the old city lord who saved Shun
City from fire and water and sacrificed his entire life for the citizens of Shun City. He is no longer the same person as before. You are truly loyal to the citizens of the city. Your responsibility is to protect this city. No one can harm
Shun City, not even the city lord…No!”
MO Xiu’s voice grew louder as he spoke. Every word seemed to be imprinted in
Qingfeng Ye’s heart.
“Protect Shun City?”
” That’s right. This was the will of the old city lord, and I think it was also your father’s last wish. I believe that if the old general was still alive, he would never let Qiu Qiming do this. He had experienced the war and understood the cruelty of war.”
Qingfeng Ye pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and then dimmed.
“I understand what you mean. You’re right, but…What else can I do now?”
MO Xiu smiled for the first time and said indifferently, “On the contrary, you can do a lot. You are the key to saving Shun City..”
