Nemesis is Coming - C91
We left Stone Village and headed east. It should take us a few days to reach the Luo City.
During the break, I asked Han Xifei why she wanted me to lead a squadron when I had never led a soldier before.
However, Han Xifei said: “It’s not hard to lead a Company. If you don’t want to bring it, I can change to someone else to take your place. Do you need it?”
Of course I refused, and I could see that Han Xifei wanted to cultivate me.
The two hundred kilometers of road was extremely smooth. Along the way, we met a few waves of Heaven Realm soldiers, but they were only patrol soldiers in groups of three or four.
Finally, on the seventh day, we reached the Luo City entrance. But the guards, seeing how many of us there were and how well armed we were, wouldn’t let us in. They said they wanted to inform the mayor first.
After the guards had gone in to give their report, two middle-aged men appeared on the tower. One was tall and thin, with a moustache on his face, a sharp nose, and very crafty look. The other was a round, fat man with only a slit in his eyes, a large head and ears, and a bald man with some hair on either side of his temple.
Then the tall, thin, middle-aged man with the megaphone said to us, I’m the mayor of this city. Are you refugees?
Luo Sha wanted to negotiate with them, but she was stopped by Han Xifei. Han Xifei waved her hand towards me, indicating that she wanted me to go forward and negotiate.
I walked forward. The countless number of guns aimed at the city gate tower had scared me a little, but I still mustered my courage and shouted: “We are General Han Xifei’s troops. We wish to enter the city to rest.”
Both Fatty and the mayor were stunned for a moment. The mayor continued, “The war is in a critical situation ahead. Why did you guys escape to me instead of fighting on the battlefield?” Are you deserters?
When I heard this, I became a little depressed and shouted, “The soldiers in the rear have not come to support us yet. The Ironsand River defense line has collapsed. We can’t defend against them anymore. So I decided to retreat for now and rest, making other plans.”
Just then, the mayor asked again: “Then is General Han Xifei here?” I heard that she died in the Tiesha River Battlefield.
Just then, Han Xifei walked out from the crowd and said loudly: I am Han Xifei.
When the mayor saw Han Xifei appearing, he started to discuss in a low voice with the fat man beside him.
After a long while, the mayor finally turned around and spoke to us. General Han Xifei, come into the city to discuss things with us, we’ll have to wait for the other officials in the city to decide whether or not your troops can enter the city. Right now, you can only bring two people in at most.
I was very confused as to why these people were so cautious.
Han Xifei turned around and looked at everyone. Finally, she ordered: Luo Sha, take care of the team, and temporarily manage the two squadrons, be careful of sneak attacks. Yang Xiao, come with me into the city.
Everyone replied and began to carry out their respective duties.
I followed Han Xifei and slowly walked into the city. I whispered to him: General, why are they so careful?
However, Han Xifei said: There’s something wrong with my mind.
After Han Xifei and I entered the city, a woman around thirty years old who was wearing a business suit walked up and said, “Hello!” General Han Xifei, I am the mayor’s secretary, Zhang Na. Please follow me.
She led us to a silver sedan. She opened the door and said, General Han Xifei, our mayor just went to the city hall. He wants you to meet him there.
Just as Han Xifei and I were about to get on the car, we were stopped by a soldier holding a gun. At this time, Zhang Na smiled and said, “My apologies, General Han Xifei, for the safety of the city, we must search your bodies first.
I was annoyed to hear that. I felt as if they were treating us like bandits.
Han Xifei was also not very happy, but she only coldly said to Zhang Na: Alright, come search me.
Zhang Na smiled and nodded, she then started to feel around Han Xifei’s body, and finally found that Han Xifei did not bring a weapon.
Just then, Zhang Na turned to me again. I scratched my head, took out a gun from my waist and gave it to her. She smiled, and I said, I’m sorry about the security guard.
But then she pointed to my pocket, and I remembered. I took two more grenades from my belt and said with a smile, Sorry, it’s too dangerous outside the city.
At this time, Zhang Na was obviously very wary of me. She came up to me and began to run her hands over me. At last I saw that my face was flushed. Only then did she smile and let me go.
She turned to Han Xifei and said, Your security guard is cute.
Han Xifei also wanted to laugh when she saw me like this, but she held it in in in the end.
At this time, Zhang Na looked at the broken sword at my waist, and seeing how dilapidated it is, she hesitated to put it away too.
I had an idea and said, This is an antique passed down from my ancestors. It was brought to the battlefield with the blessing of the ancestors.
I don’t want to give them all of my weapons. If these guys aren’t good birds, then at least I have one weapon to keep me alive.
Zhang Na covered her mouth and laughed: I will not help you keep something like this, you should just take it yourself, I’m afraid that I might break it for you.
I heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious that she had underestimated the sword’s power.
After Zhang Na finished speaking, she got into the driver’s seat of the car and let Han Xifei and I sit in the back.
As we drove slowly towards the city hall, I was more and more surprised by how busy the city was. The city was full of people, and there were tall buildings everywhere that gave off the feeling of a modern city.
I sighed. I haven’t seen such a big city in a long time.
But Zhang Na said: You’re from the countryside.
I shook my head. The south has been ruined by the monsters. Compared to this place, it was like an Asura battlefield.
Zhang Na smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this city is impregnable, there won’t be any tragedies like this in the south. This city is guarded by a hundred thousand strong army, even if the starship from the south were to come here.” You can’t take this city.
I secretly cursed in my heart, This Zhang Na’s hair has a lot of knowledge.
After about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the City Hall, which was a skyscraper. Zhang Na led us inside and took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.
When the elevator stopped. We’ve reached the eighteenth floor. I looked around and saw four soldiers standing guard in the corridor.
Zhang Na led us into a meeting room, and just as we entered, a figure charged towards Han Xi Fei. I acted quickly and stopped that person in an instant.
He saw a man in his forties wearing sunglasses and a military uniform.
He sneered, and said to Han Xifei: Yo! You are Han Xifei, I heard that because of your lack of leadership skills, all of the one hundred and fifty thousand troops at the front lines lost their lives.
