Chapter 299: Taking advantage of power
At the same time, Linhai City was facing the north of the demon clan.
On the wide city wall, there was an observation tower that overlooked the entire city. Inside, a group of garrison commanders wearing heavy armor and holding various weapons were urgently dispatching troops and preparing to go.
On closer inspection, this group of dozens of cultivators were almost all at the middle and late stages of foundation building, and each of them had a condensed aura and was surrounded by murderous aura. They were obviously experienced warriors!
And the young city lord of Linhai City had already taken off his brocade robe and put on a gorgeous battle armor. Accompanied by the commander of the garrison, he personally sat in the observation tower and served as the military supervisor!
As the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son!
As a descendant of a general of the human race, the young man surnamed Gu was narrow-minded and sinister, but after putting on his battle robe and climbing the city wall, he showed his ability as a general.
As his orders continued to be issued, almost all the monks in Linhai City, including the garrison in the city, were mobilized and scattered on the four walls!
Just at this moment, the voice of Gu Changfeng in the air suddenly sounded in the observation deck:
"The demon tribe is coming fiercely, and its strength is far beyond the ordinary beast tide. There may be a conspiracy brewing. You should immediately send the "Wanli Chuanyin Note" to notify the nearest Hanhai City to come to the rescue!"
Hearing this, many garrison commanders in the field were slightly surprised!
Probably because since the establishment of Linhai City, relying on the many defensive forces in the city, except for the massive invasion of the demon tribe, there are very few requests for help from the other two cities.
Once help is needed, it means that the situation has become extremely serious, even to the point of life and death for Linhai City!
It was precisely because of this that everyone present changed their faces, and the young man surnamed Gu also looked solemn.
But due to the urgency of the situation, the young man surnamed Gu did not dare to delay, and quickly took out the "Wanli Chuanyin Note" and began to pinch the formula to cast a spell.
After a moment, as a stream of light flew away, the expressions of the people in the field eased.
But at this moment, the ancient cultivator youth discovered something, and a sneer appeared on his face. Then he stood up and walked towards the northern city wall.
Seeing this, the garrison commanders in the observation deck, although a little confused in their hearts, also stood up and followed.
So, a group of people went straight to a corner of the city wall.
And in that corner, Qin Tian, who looked ordinary in a black robe, was mixed in the crowd of cultivators guarding the city.
But as the group of ancient cultivators approached, the cultivators also found something wrong and hurriedly avoided them, and scattered to both sides.
As for Qin Tian, who had already noticed this scene, his face also sank slightly, and a cold light began to flash in his eyes.
Not long after, the ancient cultivator youth in gorgeous armor, surrounded by a group of garrison commanders, came straight to Qin Tian.
Looking at the ordinary Qin Tian in front of him, the ancient cultivator suddenly sneered and said with pride
"Are you the Qianyuan Sect Qin Tian who broke into the demon clan's territorial waters alone?"
Hearing this, before Qin Tian could reply, many cultivators around him had already exploded:
"What? Did I hear it right! This kid is the Qianyuan Sect fierce man?"
"No! He doesn't look like him!"
"He must have changed his appearance! Otherwise, how could he attract the young city lord to come in person!"
"I didn't expect that the famous Qianyuan Sect fierce man was standing next to me. It's a sin!"
.........
Hearing the noise coming from the surroundings, Qin Tian's heart sank slightly. Obviously, he had already guessed the purpose of this young man surnamed Gu.
But he didn't show any sign on the surface, and still said calmly:
"Yes! The young city lord came here specially, I don't know what it is about!"
Sure enough, the young man surnamed Gu heard the words and immediately said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin is a leader of Qianyuan Sect, and we can't give orders directly, but now the border of the human race is in chaos with the monsters. Fellow Daoist Qin is strong and brave, so he will not sit idly by, right?"
Hearing this "righteous" words, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
But the other party exposed his identity and put pressure on the righteousness of the human race, which was related to the reputation of the sect. In addition, under the fierce gaze of the group of garrison commanders, Qin Tian had to pretend:
"It is related to the safety of the human race. Qin will do his best to help the human race guard the border!"
As soon as this righteous word came out, there was a burst of applause from the surroundings, and the crowd was excited and morale was high!
However, Qin Tian's eyes were full of gloom when he saw this.
Sure enough, the young man surnamed Gu on the opposite side spoke loudly again:
"It's rare that Fellow Daoist Qin has such awareness. In this case, I will trouble Fellow Daoist Qin to guard the east wall!"
After saying this, the young man Gu Xiu turned around and instructed a bearded man wearing heavy armor and with a cultivation base at the peak of the late stage of foundation building:
"Commander Pang! This fellow Daoist Qin is very powerful. You can trust him with an "important task". Do you understand!"
While speaking, the young man Gu Xiu calmly emphasized the word "important task"!
The bearded man on the side smiled knowingly when he heard this, and saluted respectfully:
"I obey the order!"
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian could not see the calculation of the young man Gu Xiu, and a nameless fire rose in his heart.
But now the situation is forced, Qin Tian can't get angry on the spot.
When the ancient cultivator on the opposite side saw this, he immediately showed satisfaction on his face, then he suddenly turned around and sternly ordered the garrison commanders:
"All soldiers, listen to the order! This battle is related to the life and death of Linhai City! If anyone resists the order or escapes from the battle, he will be killed on the spot! As the young city lord, Gu will definitely fight bloody battles with all the soldiers! I swear to live and die with Linhai City!"
As soon as these words came out, all the garrison commanders couldn't help but look solemn, and they all clasped their fists to accept the order.
In the entire Linhai City, there was a roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami!
For a time, morale was high!
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian suddenly frowned, and a chill flashed in his eyes. But in his heart, he had a slightly higher opinion of this young man with the surname Gu.
After all, in just a few words, this man not only forced the enemy with his own conspiracy, but also greatly boosted the morale of the garrison defending the city, and by the way, he also won over the hearts of the people!
After going through this set of procedures, it is clear that this person has a deep scheming mind and is by no means an easy person!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian looked at the young man named Gu who was going away, and couldn't help but be secretly on guard...
On the other side, the young man surnamed Gu and others returned to the observatory, and a middle-aged commander with a cultivation level of fake elixir suddenly spoke:
"Young City Lord, is there something wrong with this arrangement? If Qin Tian is killed in Linhai City, it will be hard to explain to the Qianyuan Sect!"
Upon closer inspection, the person who made the noise was the middle-aged man in armor who was at the auction house that day.
