Chapter 225: The saviour of Thunder State
After several hours of riots, the citizens of Thunder State City were now forming long lines, as they brought their possessions and family members to lead a new life of wandering.
Of course, for the residents of a large city like Thunder State City, they couldn’t really run.The people who were leaving were merchants or cultivators, either those that had money or power, being able to make a living if they left Thunder State City.
The lower rank of Thunder State City did not leave because their livelihoods were in Thunder State City.How could they make a living if they left Thunder State City?
If they left Thunder State City, they would be trees without roots.
If they left Thunder State City, they would find it hard to keep their lives.
If they left Thunder State City, they would wander around in destitution.
The three hundred year old Thunder State City did not lose to Central State City.It was full of people just a few days ago and was very prosperous, not disgracing its name as a Main City.This kind of heavily populated city had become this abandoned?
God bless Thunder State!
God bless Thunder State!
Countless white haired old folk carrying children were kneeling in the streets, praying for Thunder State City.Even if they knew that it was impossible, they still all prayed for a miracle.
The Golden Arrow Marquis sat dejectedly in the mayor’s palace.
The entire city was filled with the cries of the elderly and weak women, filling him with deep remorse.Thunder State was falling into disorder in front of him, but he could not save it.He really was the guardian of Thunder State.
This situation had far exceeded the Calm Martial Ruler’s estimates.
Even if the three Rulers left now, it would be too late!
Was Thunder State City really about to be destroyed?
“Marquis!”A general clad in armour walked in and magnanimously said, “Thunder State’s three defense battalions have been gathered, willing to die in battle.Please give your orders!”
The Golden Arrow Marquis was a little surprised, “Weren’t the troops dispersed?”
“Thunder State is the soul of the military, head of all eight states!”The general shouted, “In times of danger, we soldiers should rush into danger, how could we run away?This is what the Marquis has taught us!We are willing to die to protect Thunder State City.We will die with Thunder State City, dying with the citizens!”
“Good!Good!Good!”The Golden Arrow Marquis gave an amazed sigh, “For me, Jiang Xiong, to have this kind of army, my years in Central State have not been wasted!This Marquis will defend Thunder State City with you, waiting for the Imperial City’s rescue!”
The Golden Arrow Marquis made his decision.
Thunder State City could not be lost.If the Abyss Demon attacked Thunder State City, he would personally defend it!
The Western Marquis and the Divine Wind Marquis walked in with ugly expressions, “A group of cavalry just came back, but there were no signs of Shangguan Feichen, Jiang Shan, or Chu Tian.”
The Golden Arrow Marquis’ heart sank.
If they were still not back, did they encounter some kind of trouble?
The Western Marquis Shangguan Hong said, “Golden Arrow Marquis, I want you to sent the Thunder State army to search.You have to find him for me!”
Search?
What search!
“White Jade City is surrounded by Demon Soldiers, once the soldiers come close, it is equivalent to being sent to death.That demon has awakened and the strongest Storm Colts cannot approach because they can’t resist the demon’s aura.I’m afraid normal mounts will not be able to approach at all.”
The Western Marquis flew into a rage, “Golden Arrow Marquis!You’re dismantling the bridge before crossing it!We came to save Central State and now my son’s in an unknown situation, what does your hesitation mean!”
“I ask you to be careful of your words!The Western Marquis’ son has a life, then does the life of the thousands of soldiers not count?”
“Normal soldiers’ lives are cheap!What does it matter if they die?At worst, Southern State can compensate you!”
“Enough!My son is also missing!”
The Golden Arrow Marquis looked aggrieved and Shangguan Hong was filled with anger, the two of them looked like they were about to clash.
The Divine Wind Marquis gave a sigh and prepared to stop them.
“Marquis!Marquis!Good news!”A guard quickly ran in, “Marquis, marquis!The successors have come back!”
“How many are back?”The Divine Wind Marquis quickly asked, “What about the others?”
“No need to worry Divine Wind Marquis.The Central State geniuses are back, they’re all fine!”
The three Marquises gave sighs of relief.
Chu Tian and Jiang Shan rode their horses into Thunder State City.There were only five hundred soldiers that returned from the three thousand sent, one could imagine what fate the others suffered.
Meng Yingying excitedly ran over, “Chu Tian, Chu Tian, I knew you would be fine!”
Chu Tian gave Meng Yingying a faint smile, “I’m sorry, I made you worry!”
“Che, who was worried about you!”Meng Yingying shook her head, “There is nothing in this world that can subdue you!What does a trivial demon count for!”
This girl really was simple minded!
But Meng Yingying was the person who understood Chu Tian best!
At this moment, the three Marquises quickly ran over.
“Feichen, what’s wrong?”
The Western Marquis’ heir was covered in injuries.He was tied to a horse and brought back, almost suffocating.
“Father, please avenge me!”Shangguan Feichen opened his eyes to see his father, whose heroic face was black and body was scorched, but he immediately shouted, “Chu Tian wanted to desert and I wanted to catch him to punish him, but he plotted against me!”
“Daring to hurt my son, I want your life!”
The Western Marquis’ killing intent spilled out like a landslide and the long pen stabbed at Chu Tian.The Divine Wind Marquis quickly came over to block it, grabbing the Western Marquis’ pen.
The entire area fell silent.
These people coming back safely was a happy matter.
Now the Western Marquis wanted to personally take Chu Tian’s life?
“Feng Yuntian!You dare to block me!”Shangguan Hong angrily shouted with red eyes, “This marquis’ son is priceless and he has been heavily injured, even you cannot protect him today!”
That’s right!
Shangguan Hong must kill Chu Tian!
The Southern Summer Eight Marquises’ killing intent was strong and everyone couldn’t help shrinking back.
