C634 Suspicion
"Commander Zhou, the power of Hundred Frost Nie Family is so impressive. Now that we are losing troops, I wonder if Commander Zhou has any plans?" Steward Tang originally thought he was at an advantage, but now he realized that he was at a disadvantage. Even though Commander Zhou was sure that there was no Nie Family Headquarters to intervene, Steward Tang was still worried.2
Commander Zhou laughed blandly: "Indeed, at the moment, Hundred Frost Nie Family is much stronger than what we had initially thought, so this Governor has decided that I will leave temporarily and go outside to request for some external help. I will travel for half a month at the fastest speed, and I will return at the slowest in a month."
Hearing Commander Zhou's words, Chief Steward immediately said anxiously, "Commander Zhou, you are the commander of the entire army. How can you leave the commander position so easily? Why don't you ask for outside help?"
Commander Zhou waved his hand and said, "It's not that I left easily, it's just that the external aid status that I'm looking for is extraordinary. Steward Tang, with your status, you and Steward Zhu must not go anywhere near the camp. Steward Tang, while I'm away, you and Steward Zhu must guard the camp well.
The latter half of Commander Zhou's sentence was directed towards his subordinates, which meant that Chief Steward was the actual controller of the base during the period when Commander Zhou left.
After giving out the instructions, Commander Zhou glanced at Nie Zhen and the others, and then said to Steward Zhu, "Steward Zhu, I saw that Steward Shaw escaped and won't be coming back for a while. Since the three of them are able to fight to the death in this situation, they can be considered talented people.
Steward Zhu was indifferent, but he smiled towards Commander Zhou and said: "This subordinate has received his orders, it just so happens that last night I fought against the Hundred Frost Nie Family, and this subordinate also lost a few people, so it's good that they can make up for it when they come."
"Alright, then you three will follow Steward Zhu from now on!" Commander Zhou made some arrangements and let Nie Zhen and the other two leave first.
After Nie Zhen and the others left, Commander Zhou suddenly said to Steward Zhu in a low voice, "Steward Zhu, I put these three people under your command. Do you understand what I mean?"
Steward Zhu was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. He clearly didn't understand what Commander Zhou meant.
Commander Zhou patiently said: "There's something strange about the three of them coming back, I'm unable to determine whether they are truly subordinate to us, or are spies of the Hundred Frost Nie Family. Even Steward Shaw's life and death is uncertain, yet they actually came back, and coincidentally, three of the four brothers came back all of a sudden. At the very least, it's suspicious, isn't it?"
Steward Zhu frowned and said, "It's also possible that they didn't have enough fighting spirit and kept circling around the battle circle, which resulted in them taking the initiative to escape. Besides, among the four brothers, one of them hasn't come back yet..."
Wu Tie said in a deep voice, "Before Steward Shaw comes back, they still can't completely trust him. The reason I said that I wanted to personally request for external help was to probe them. If they really are members of the Hundred Frozen Nie Family, then I can give them some fake information and let them pass on to the Hundred Frozen Nie Family.
When Steward Zhu heard Commander Zhou's analysis, he slowly realized that it was the truth. He immediately said, "Commander Zhou's words have awoken the person in my dreams! Speaking of which, I also think that these three fellows are weird and weird. It turns out that Commander Zhou has suspected them for a long time! "
Commander Zhou smiled sinisterly, and said: "Anything can happen, all I did was to make more preparations, I was just a little suspicious, and was not very sure, so I prepared a little more, but I hope that they were spies in Hundred Frost Nie Family, and then I can make the best of it!"
"Commander Zhou has a myriad of ingenious moves, your subordinate is impressed …" Although these people have some ability, it does not have much of an impact on the overall situation. In comparison, if they are spies, then it might have unpredictable effects! " Steward Zhu flattered.
Although I said those words for them on purpose, but the matter of finding reinforcements is absolutely true, but naturally, this Governor will not leave this place. Steward Tang, you take my place to take a trip to the Thousand Cloud Sect outside of Thousand Cloud City, and invite the Thousand Cloud Sect to beat up the third clan elder.
"Thousand Cloud Sect?!" Steward Tang was shocked.
Let alone Steward Tang, even the other people in the tent were somewhat shocked. They all knew that Thousand Cloud Sect was a very famous sect around them, and in terms of Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, they were second rate forces.
To be able to establish a sect in such a large Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, it was definitely not a simple matter. Moreover, it was a force that could enter the second rate.
This sect master of Thousand Cloud Sect was a stately practitioner of Eighth Level, and was more than a rank stronger than Commander Zhou. This was also why Commander Zhou placed so much importance on Thousand Cloud Sect, and the reason why everyone present was so shocked when they heard the name Thousand Cloud Sect.
Of course, with Commander Zhou's face, it was not enough to invite the Thousand Cloud Sect's sect master. But the third elder had met Commander Zhou a few times, so the two could be considered to have some friendship.
The most important thing was that the Third Elder's cultivation level was also extremely high; this was what Commander Zhou valued the most.
Thousand Cloud Sect was perhaps one breath weaker than Pingsha Sect, but it was not by much. From this, one could see just how strong Thousand Cloud Sect were.
After the battle with the Hundred Frost Nie Family last night, Commander Zhou realized that he had still underestimated the strength of the Hundred Frost Nie Family. Other than the Great Clan Elder of the Hundred Frost Nie Family who had been fighting with him all night, there was also the Patriarch of the Hundred Frost Nie Family who had yet to make a move.
If the two were to engage in another fight and attack him together, Commander Zhou felt that he would definitely be at a disadvantage. He might even be unable to make it out alive.
Although Commander Zhou was arrogant, it did not mean that he did not have any brains. At the very least, he knew clearly in his heart that it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with two practitioners of Origin Stage at the same time.
After knowing that Commander Zhou and Thousand Cloud Sect's third elder had a good relationship, the subordinates' confidence immediately rose. Originally, they thought that the battle situation would fall into a deadlock, but now that they found out that Commander Zhou actually had this trump card, they were all extremely excited, and were filled with confidence towards the future of the battle.
Elder Tang immediately said excitedly: "Commander Zhou, this subordinate will immediately head over to Thousand Cloud Sect and request for Third Elder's help!"
Commander Zhou nodded. "Return quickly. When the Third Elder arrives here, that will be the time for us to take over the Baishuang City!"
