Chapter Summary
However, all signs indicate that there will be no ferocious beasts attacking today. So Zhao Wudi said that Liu Ning wanted to join the army, which was equivalent to letting these people know that he would not choose them. But with such thick smoke at night, even if Liu Ning's marksmanship was perfect, he probably wouldn't be able to kill them.
Just as Liu Ning was wondering, someone pushed the door open and came in. There was no need for formalities on the city wall anymore. Liu Ning could tell at a glance that it was the city lord.
"Although the food and drinks are a bit simple, they have a unique flavor. It seems you're enjoying yourselves. May I join in? I can certainly contribute something too."
According to the original schedule, the city lord should be patrolling the city walls. However, all signs indicate that there will be no ferocious beasts attacking today. Therefore, the city lord thought of Liu Ning. As the highest leader of this city, Liu Ning, a young and talented man, is naturally someone he wants to win over. If he can turn the two guards into three guards, it will be of great benefit to his rule.
"Your contribution is just a bottle of wine, right? I specially had these side dishes delivered. Don't underestimate these things; they're the kind you have to queue up to buy normally. Now that the city is so badly damaged, these kinds of things will be scarce in the future. Production might not be able to resume for at least a month or two. We should take this opportunity to treat ourselves."
The city lord is the highest leader of this city. If someone dares to speak to the city lord like this, then this person's identity must be extraordinary. When Liu Ning looked up, he saw Xue Tianlong's figure appear at the door, and both of them were holding some snacks for drinking.
Everyone knows Liu Ning's abilities. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and Liu Ning's abilities are what everyone has seen. That's why these guys have all come over. For them, whoever can win over Liu Ning would be doing a great service to their backers.
Everyone saw Liu Ning's performance just now. Although he can't match Zhao Wudi, under special circumstances, he is even more powerful than Zhao Wudi, and he also suffered less damage.
Zhao Wudi stood up and looked at these guys. They all looked a little embarrassed. They usually ignored Liu Ning and wouldn't stand up for him even if something happened. Now that Liu Ning had shown such ability, they all came over to him. Although that's how the world is, they still felt a little embarrassed by Zhao Wudi's gaze.
"This is really strange. When I drink alone, you guys never bring anything with you. Now that there's just one more brother, you've all brought your best stuff. If I'm not mistaken, these aren't just ordinary snacks; they must be quite valuable. But let me be clear: my brother's decision is his own. We've already talked enough, and I'm afraid he won't be able to join your side. My brother is determined to join the army."
Before Liu Ning could even speak, Zhao Wudi had already shut down their ideas. Zhao Wudi naturally knew what these guys were thinking, and in Zhao Wudi's view, there was no need for Liu Ning to join any of their sides. So Zhao Wudi said that Liu Ning wanted to join the army, which was equivalent to letting these people know that he would not choose them.
Fortunately, Zhao Wudi said so. If they had said it directly, Liu Ning would have had a hard time refusing, and that would have offended people. Liu Ning is not capable of offending these people now. In this city, these people can absolutely get whatever they want.
"I've prepared quite a few arguments, but I didn't expect the Masked Gun God to be willing to join the army. Since that's the case, I'll arrange everything for you right away. Based on your performance on the battlefield this time, this merit is definitely not small. In the army, you'd need to be at least a major general, no doubt about it. Don't worry."
A voice rang out behind them. It was Old Master Wang's voice. Although Old Master Wang was not a War God-level expert and there was a certain gap between him and them, he was a member of the military and the head of the military in the entire city. Therefore, under certain circumstances, Old Master Wang was equal to them, and if it came to things like weapons, Old Master Wang had more say than them.
After hearing what Old Master Wang said, these people understood what was going on. It seemed that they had no hope. Old Master Wang and this guy had probably reached some kind of agreement long ago.
After all, Wang Jun is the disciple of the Masked Gun God, and Wang Fang has an ambiguous relationship with him. Who knows if they're already family? If we force them, we'll offend two major forces at once, which is unnecessary.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Liu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Without Zhao Wudi and Old Master Wang, things wouldn't have been so easy today. Since everyone here had nothing else to add, they should sit down and have a drink now.
Everyone had set out their glasses, ready to drink and chat, when suddenly the alarm went off again. Weren't they saying the beasts might not attack tonight? What was going on? Everyone here was a seasoned soldier, so they quickly dressed and went outside to see what was wrong with the beasts.
According to everyone's original prediction, the ferocious beasts would definitely attack at night, because nighttime is their best help. However, after scouting just now, we did not find any signs that they wanted to attack. What's going on now? Could it be that they were just feinting?
Grandpa Wang and his group immediately went to the observation post. The officer at the post had been watching for a long time. It turned out that there was a lot of thick smoke far outside the city wall. According to our guess, the ferocious beast must have a large force coming.
They should be starting to assemble, which is why the alarm was raised here. They're afraid of being caught off guard by the ferocious beasts. This kind of situation has happened in other cities before. They don't attack when night falls; they only attack in the middle of the night.
Following the guy's finger, they saw a lot of thick smoke over there, probably caused by flying dust. Everyone was a little nervous at this point. If the other side really attacked, it would probably be a fierce battle tonight.
During the day, Liu Ning kept an eye on the ferocious beasts. But with such thick smoke at night, even if Liu Ning's marksmanship was perfect, he probably wouldn't be able to kill them. He really didn't know what these guys were thinking, managing to find such a huge flaw in humans. These ferocious beasts were getting smarter and smarter.
