Chapter 413 -0408: Commander Chen

“Enfeoffment is unnecessary, but I won’t be shy about accepting rewards.”

Following a burst of laughter, a figure appeared in the distance and headed towards Qianshan City.

“Chen Yu!”

“Brother Chen, you’re unharmed, that’s wonderful.”

The numerous captives below were both shocked and overjoyed.

In their eyes, Chen Yu must have paid a heavy price to escape from the hands of the Yan Leader.

“How did you come back?”

Commander Wei’s face changed on the spot.

Wasn’t it said that Chen Yu alone was holding off the Yan Leader and other high-ranking members? How could he have possibly survived and returned?

Could it be that the Hall Master from the Bone Demon Palace just now had deceived him? He doubted he would dare to.

“Commander doesn’t seem pleased with my return?”

Chen Yu maintained a calm smile, staring at Commander Wei.

Commander Wei did not reply; another thought had formed in his mind: keep Chen Yu outside the city.

When the enemy high ranks would arrive, they would massacre without constraint, and with the power of Chen Yu and a few captives, they would be crushed instantly.

However, the current Chen Yu was not the same as when he had first arrived; in just one day’s time, Chen Yu had won tremendous prestige.

It was highly inappropriate for Commander Wei to betray Chen Yu in front of so many people, difficult to justify.

Now, within the Three Kingdoms Alliance, to blatantly harm a strong warrior from Chu Country was to actively cause internal strife in Chu Country, a grave crime indeed.

“Commander Wei, don’t you intend to let me in? I’ve been entirely selfless, sacrificing myself for others, and have devoted myself wholeheartedly to Chu Country!”

Chen Yu asked with a smile, bringing up Commander Wei’s previous words.

“How could that be?”

Commander Wei showed a tinge of an awkward smile, waved his hand, and said, “Disengage the Array, open the city gates.”

Thereafter, Chen Yu and a group of captives who had escaped death entered Qianshan City.

“We’re finally back.”

Fang Haofei burst into laughter, and the other captives also heaved a sigh of relief, looking towards Chen Yu with genuine admiration. fгeewebnovёl.com

Being captives, they had had little chance of survival, but Chen Yu had ventured into the lion’s den and rescued them all, earning their life-saving gratitude.

Outside the city walls, the enemy tribe’s people were puzzled.

“How did that kid come back? Where are the leaders?”

“Could something have gone wrong?”

A sense of foreboding grew in a woman’s heart.

“How could it be possible, the Leader is a pinnacle Innate expert, and he has a Guiyuan Realm Demon Beast. Killing this kid would be as easy as flipping his hand!”

Another tall man objected.

“But, if Qianshan City launches an attack now, we’re finished.”

Another captain remarked.

Though they had deployed many troops, they lacked top battle strength. If Qianshan City launched a full attack now, they would surely be defeated.

“Retreat a distance for now, and wait for the Leader and the others…”

An elder with high prestige spoke.

…

Atop Qianshan City.

“Vice Commander Chen Yu, why did you leave without a word, sneaking out in the middle of the night and even covertly into the enemy city? Do you realize how dangerous that was?”

Commander Wei spoke with a tone of rebuke.

As the highest ruler of Qianshan City, he had the authority to rebuke and punish when his subordinates acted improperly.

“Now, the enemy is right outside Qianshan City, ready to attack at any moment, all because of you. Do you realize this?”

Commander Wei continued sternly.

“Commander, the enemy is right outside, and their high ranks are not present. Isn’t this a perfect opportunity for us to attack on a grand scale?”

Chen Yu retorted.

As Vice Commander, as long as he was reasonable, he could challenge the Commander’s words.

Even if the Commander made a grave mistake, the Vice Commander could be elected to take his place.

“Ha ha, I know the Yan Leader’s character best. He is extremely cunning and full of tricks. Perhaps he is already here, just hidden in the dark. What if we rush out and fall into an ambush?”

Commander Wei laughed lightly.

“How about I make a bet with the Commander? Give me five hundred troops, and I will exterminate the enemy.”

A gleam shot through Chen Yu’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.

As soon as he spoke, many nearby were inwardly shaken.

Five hundred troops to annihilate the enemy!

Bear in mind, the enemy numbered over a thousand.

Moreover, the enemy’s high ranks were filled with powerful experts, much stronger than those of Qianshan City.

Commander Wei had always defended this location, never attacking, fearing that any carelessness could result in heavy losses and the fall of the city.

“Brother Chen, are you truly confident?”

Fang Haofei shivered upon hearing this.

Commander Wei was from the Bone Demon Palace; if Chen Yu did not follow through after such a bold claim, Commander Wei would surely not let it slide.

Commander Wei’s gaze sank slightly and he did not rush to agree.

Although it seemed like a bet Chen Yu would surely lose,

Chen Yu was so confident that Commander Wei felt a bit uncertain.

“What’s the matter? Is Commander Wei afraid? If Commander Wei leads five hundred troops and eradicates the enemy, I, Chen, will admit defeat and willingly accept the punishment.”

Chen Yu smiled and continued speaking.

Though Chen Yu made the bold statement, though Commander Wei felt something was amiss, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Not to mention others, the Yan Leader alone was slightly stronger than himself; leading five hundred troops over would be suicidal.

Just then,

Whoosh!

The enemy tribe forces outside Qianshan City began their retreat.

They had waited a while, but since the Leader did not arrive, they sensed something was off, and so the entire force withdrew.

“Chen Yu, I agree to your terms. If you lead five hundred troops and annihilate the enemy, then consider that I have lost.”

Seeing the enemies withdrawing, Commander Wei suddenly spoke up.

Since the enemy had already returned to their city, if Chen Yu attacked now, he would face the enemy’s full battlemight and City Protection Array. With just five hundred troops, it would be hitting a rock with an egg.

“Since it’s a wager, there must be stakes involved. If I lose, I will resign from my position as Vice Commander and willingly accept punishment. May I ask, what will be Commander Wei’s wager?”

Chen Yu finished speaking and looked on expectantly.

As a commander, Commander Wei’s stake was certainly not going to be smaller than Chen Yu’s.

“If I, Wei, lose, I will relinquish my position as commander of Qianshan City to you.”

Commander Wei thought for a moment and then spoke solemnly.

“Good, who wants to join me in killing the enemy?”

Chen Yu agreed and turned around to look at the rest of the people behind him.

At the same time, Commander Wei also turned around and looked over, his gaze deep and probing, sweeping over the many high-ranking officials with a warning intent.

Although Chen Yu had just arrived and had already gained tremendous prestige, Chen Yu had only been there one day after all.

Commander Wei, on the other hand, had been defending Qianshan City for over a year and had the support of a major power like the Bone Demon Palace behind him.

In the end, only two hall masters of the Yunyue Sect who had undergone Postnatal Qi Transformation stood out.

However, eight out of ten captives saved by Chen Yu were willing to follow him.

Afterward, Chen Yu selected several hundred soldiers.

The ones chosen all hung their heads in dejection, lamenting in their hearts, “It seems that this time, we’re destined to die on the front lines.”

But as ordinary soldiers, even if they had a hundred objections, they couldn’t defy the orders of Deputy Commander Chen.

Commander Wei didn’t care about any of this; by then, these five hundred people would probably all perish, and even if Chen Yu returned alive, he would carry an immense burden of guilt.

Besides, the vast majority of these five hundred were from Yunyue Sect or small forces affiliated with Yunyue Sect.

Commander Wei laughed secretly; if he were Chen Yu, he would definitely choose people from the Bone Demon Palace to be the ones to die.

“Let’s go!”

At Chen Yu’s command, he led the five hundred men, marching out of Qianshan City.

“You two, come with me. If Deputy Commander Chen can’t hold his own, we might still be able to save his life.”

Commander Wei said to the two people beside him, then walked out of the city gate.

Although he said this, he didn’t actually intend to do so. Taking the two men with him was just to witness Chen Yu’s failure.

Both of these men were his confidants; if Chen Yu had any trump cards to contend with the enemy, they could sneak attack from behind and kill Chen Yu.

…

“Brother Chen, what brilliant plans do you have? Otherwise, why would you say such a thing?”

On the way, Nangong Li asked.

He followed instinctively because he trusted Chen Yu, but at this moment, he was still very scared.

The others couldn’t help but look over too, wanting to know if Chen Yu had any ingenious plans, or else they would all perish.

“No need for any strategy; with our strength, we’re more than capable of crushing the enemy.”

Chen Yu confidently declared, patting his chest.

The others listened and felt a bit speechless inside—no matter how you calculated it, it was our side that should be getting crushed by the enemy.

Before long, the team led by Chen Yu caught up with the retreating enemy.

“Kill.”

Chen Yu took the lead and burst forth.

At that moment, the others had no choice but to follow suit.

Boom!

Chen Yu plunged headfirst into the enemy ranks, like a ferocious beast, sending a dozen men flying.

At the same time, Chen Yu released the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

This insect was at the Late Innate stage, possessing extreme penetration power, reaping lives equally swiftly.

“Run!”

“We’re almost at the city.”

Shouts rang out from the enemy’s ranks.

Although they were numerous, they had no top-tier experts, no one who could stop Chen Yu.

The team led by Chen Yu chased and killed, reaping many enemy lives as they went.

And when the enemy forces returned to their city, they stood there dumbfounded like idiots.

At that moment, their city was practically a dead city, engulfed in chaos, wafting with the stench of blood, utterly empty!

Not a single person!

The Yan Leader, Deputy Leader, and all the other high-ranking officials were all missing!

The scene in front of them threw all those men into a panic, and a wave of fear rose in their hearts.

“Kill!”

Chen Yu let out a laugh and charged forward.

The troops following him were shocked beyond reason—the enemy city was completely empty.

Beyond the shock, all of them showed expressions of jubilation and rushed forward.

“Flee!”

The morale of the enemy forces was completely gone, and without anyone to hold the scene, chaos ensued, and they scattered in all directions.

In the distant sky,

The Yan Leader and two other high-ranking officials, watching the scene unfold, all widened their eyes in disbelief.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t Yan Chuan here? Where are the others… The city is destroyed, what happened here?”

Commander Wei’s mind was in turmoil.

The battle before his eyes was simply a one-sided slaughter.

“Commander Wei, should we take action?”

Someone beside him asked.

“Act? Unless all these people are annihilated, leaving no survivors.”

Commander Wei shook his head.

Just the two spirit pets of Chen Yu were formidable; the likelihood of annihilating these several hundred people was too low.

In no time at all, Chen Yu and his men had completely driven off the enemy and occupied the city.

Upon the city walls, Chen Yu stood proudly, glancing into the distance with a faint smile.

“He’s seen me.”

Commander Wei could tell that Chen Yu was watching him.

The three of them had followed carefully, only to be detected by Chen Yu.

“Hahaha, it turns out Deputy Commander Chen knew the enemy’s situation all along. This battle was beautifully fought. Congratulations to Deputy Commander Chen for another great achievement.”

Commander Wei walked over slowly, putting on an enthusiastic front.

“Please, call me Commander Chen!”

Chen Yu said flatly.
