Chapter 1536 – Beast Tide (6)
Were these people so low that they didn’t deserve his sacrifice?!
Was there anything else that could give the soldiers a more terrible blow than this?
They actually fought desperately hard for such a commander?
Even Jiang Wan, Shi Heng and Elder Wen cast an incredulous gaze on Qu Xun.
Was this fellow an idiot?
He actually said such thing at this time, in the face of all the soldiers!
Shen Yanxiao looked at Qu Xun with a sneer. She more or less knew what kind of person he was, so she was not
surprised that he would say such a thing. Indeed, a dragon gave birth to a dragon, a Phoenix gave birth to a Phoenix,
and the son of a rat would dig holes.
Qu Rui was not a good person; his father, even less so.
“Since the Divine Wind Alliance, Long Xuan Empire and Seven Kingdoms have accepted my conditions, the gate
of The Rising Sun City will open for you. As for the Lan Yue Dynasty… I will ask for more good fortune for you!”
The voice of Shen Yanxiao had just fallen when the gate of The Rising Sun City slowly opened. Shi Heng, Jiang
Wan, as well as Elder Wen entered through the open gate.
The soldiers behind them looked at the three of them with eyes full of respect and gratitude.
The hearts of the soldiers of the Lan Yue Dynasty totally died. Watching the commanders of other people make a
sacrifice for their own army, and then looking at their own commander actually behaving as such, it truly left their
hearts dead.
“Lord Shen!” Suddenly, one soldier of the Lan Yue Dynasty rushed to the front of the team.
“Hm?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the soldier with cold eyes.
“Lord Shen, I am willing to leave the Lan Yue Dynasty and join The Rising Sun City. I am also willing to help fight
against the beast tide even if I die in the battlefield. I only hope that Lord Shen can give me this opportunity. I
would rather die for myself than throw away my life for such scum!” The soldier decisively took off the Lan Yue
Dynasty badge on his chest.
This badge made him feel shame!
Once, he was proud of himself as a soldier, proud of being able to keep his land safe… but now, he was no longer
willing to work for scum who regarded them as worthless. Even if Shen Yanxiao let him take the vanguard and he
died at the foot of the demon beasts as a result, he was also willing to do it.
At least he was fighting for himself, not for others.
“You traitor! Somebody, take this traitor down for me!” Qu Xun incredulously stared at the soldier who defected to
Shen Yanxiao’s side, and wanted to kill him with a sword.
But none of the soldiers behind him acted; everyone just looked on in silence.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the soldier with interest. Qu Xun was really an idiot. To make his soldiers bitterly
disappointed at this point, it was no wonder someone would defect.
“Good. I accept your request.” Shen Yanxiao said.
“You bastard!” Qu Xun raised his sword angrily and slashed at the soldier, but he had always lived in comfort, how
could he be the soldier’s opponent? The man took up his blade and directly cut Qu Xun down.
Qu Xun opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He never thought that this lowly person would dare to fight back.
The soldier coldly looked at Qu Xun’s hideous face. He then raised his head and looked at his former comrades.
“I, Xu Rui, used to be a soldier of the Lan Yue Dynasty. I was proud of my identity, but today I understand that
everything I did was not for my country nor my family, but for this group of exploitative nobles to build their castles
in the sky! Today, I’m leaving the Lan Yue Dynasty. If I will die on a battlefield, I will die for myself! Comrades, do
you really want to fight for this scum?” Xu Rui pointed the sharp tip of his sword at the nose of Qu Xun’s big head.
[1] Don’t know if there’s a deeper meaning to this sentence but based from what I found, it’s basically saying “Like
father, like son”
