50: C50 Coward City Lord

C50 Coward City Lord

"Military Lord! Something bad has happened!"

Yuan Qing, who was in the middle of his research, suddenly heard a series of rapid knocks on the door. Hu Sanyi's voice came from outside.

"What is it?"

At this moment, Yuan Qing had finished studying most of the skills. He calmly pushed open the door and asked.

"Emergency military situation in Tianlin City! There are great demons wreaking havoc in the vicinity of the Tianlin City. They are requesting reinforcements from the Shaotian Prefecture."

Yuan Qing sneered. Those guys had finally made their move.

"Rainbow Guard, gather! Prepare to set off."

Hu Sanyi nodded and quickly left.

After a while, the Rainbow Guard who had nothing to do in County Governor Residence quickly gathered.

Yuan Qing glanced at the Rainbow Guard. In ten days, he just wanted them to familiarize themselves with his identity.

Last time, the Rainbow Guard recruited 207 people, including 197 High Rank Body Refining, seven Enlightenment Stage, two One-apertured, and one Five Apertures Stage!

"Everyone, there is an urgent military situation in Tianlin City. There is a Great Demonic Beast roaming around. As the number one guard under the Heavenly Guard of the Shaotian Prefecture, the Rainbow Guard is naturally obligated to do so!"

Everyone from the Rainbow Guard was dumbfounded.

But very quickly, the entire Rainbow Guard was thrown into panic. They had just joined the Rainbow Guard, and now they were going to face the Demonic Beast? Wasn't this going to take their lives?

"I'll give you one last chance. If you withdraw from the Rainbow Guard now, this matter will have nothing to do with you. Once we depart, those who listen to my orders can live. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will kill them on the spot. "

In an instant, the entire square was silent. Everyone was looking at each other from left to right.

They had just joined the Rainbow Guard, so they had no sense of belonging at all. Most of them had joined the Rainbow Guard for the sake of taking advantage of the situation.

"Then? Do we need to return the Thousand Quenching Fruit we obtained back then?"

One of the Rainbow Guard suddenly asked loudly.

"No need. I'll just treat the Thousand Quenching Fruit as a gift to you. It's not a rare item anyway. However, you must return the low-grade edge tool. "

Yuan Qing said indifferently. He did not have the time to train these fellows properly.

After eliminating those who were afraid of death, the rest of them would have some value in nurturing them.

"I quit!"

"I withdraw as well."

"Erm, my lord, it's not that we're unwilling. With our strength, it's simply courting death for us to surround the big demon."

Upon hearing that there was no need to return the Thousand Quenching Fruit, dozens of people immediately thought of retreating.

Yuan Qing did not stop them and agreed to let them retreat one by one.

After a while, the Rainbow Guard, which originally had more than two hundred people, only had a hundred people left in an instant.

None of the Enlightenment Stage and above warriors left.

"Military Lord, I only have one question. As long as you can answer me, the three of us will be absolutely loyal to the Rainbow Guard."

Right at this moment, the Five Apertures Stage warrior, Chung Bing, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.

"Just say it."

"The three of us came here to pursue a higher realm. We just need you to promise us that we will at least reach the Nine Apertures in the future."

Chung Bing's eyes were filled with sincerity. He was a warrior from a small place, and he had his own fortuitous encounter, which was why he was able to reach his current realm.

However, without the support of a major power, he knew that he might not be able to advance any further in his life. Therefore, he needed to find hope in the Rainbow Guard.

"I'm sixteen years old this year."

Yuan Qing didn't answer him directly. Instead, he slowly stretched out his palm. The powerful Genuine Qi energy instantly filled the entire square.

Chung Bing first had a strange look on his face. Then, his facial expression changed drastically. After that, he knelt down on the ground.

"Big brother?"

"Big brother, how are you?"

The two One Aperture Stage warriors beside Chung Bing immediately leaned over and asked with concern.

"Nine Apertures Stage! You're a Nine Apertures Stage warrior? A sixteen year old Nine Apertures Stage warrior!"

Chung Bing ignored the two people beside him and looked at Yuan Qing in shock.

He called himself a genius. He had reached the Five Apertures Stage at the age of thirty, but compared to the young man in front of him, he was much weaker.

How could there be such a talented person in this world?

"Is my promise enough?"

Upon hearing Yuan Qing's words, Chung Bing immediately half-knelt in front of Yuan Qing and said in a deep voice.

"As long as you don't betray us, the three of us will never betray you!"

"Very good. Your cultivation base is the highest. You should temporarily become the commander of Rainbow Guard. Now, I will give you the first order. Organize the Rainbow Guard and prepare to go out of the city to support the Tianlin City!" Yuan Qing said in a clear voice.

"Understood!"

Chung Bing showed a trace of excitement. No matter what, Yuan Qing attached great importance to him.

"Also, those who can stay here will be the people of Rainbow Guard from now on. Everyone here will be rewarded with a Thousand Quenching Fruit and a top grade common weapon sword."

"Those who are above the Enlightenment Stage will be given a low-grade edge tool. Chang Kuan, you will be in charge of distributing it to them."

As soon as Yuan Qing's order was issued, all the heaviness in the Rainbow Guard was swept away, and the joy on their faces was expressed with words.

"Thank you, Military Lord!"

"Mighty Military Lord!"

"Let's go! Our destination is Tianlin City!"

The first battle of Rainbow Guard had officially begun.

Tianlin City was a small city located in the south of Shaotian Prefecture. It would take half a day for them to reach the Capital City, even if they were to ride on horseback.

The population of the city was only 100,000. City Lord was merely a Five Apertures Stage warrior.

Last night, they found several Demonic Beasts running out from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range near Tianlin City. City Lord from the Tianlin City immediately sent a request for help to the Capital City.

By now, several villages near the Tianlin City had sent out smoke signals to ask for help.

However, the master of the Tianlin City was timid and afraid of death. From the moment he discovered the big demon until now, he had always been in a state of seclusion, not even sending out a single expert to rescue him.

"Why hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet? Didn't I send people to Capital City last night?"

Zhang Tian paced back and forth in the government office, constantly inquiring about the news that came from the city gates.

"According to the fastest speed, they should have arrived by now. Just wait patiently."

The servant beside him quickly explained.

"Report! Report urgently!"

"Tell me quickly, did the Heavenly Guard send reinforcements?"

Zhang Tian was overjoyed and quickly asked.

"Reporting to City Lord, no, we found a big demon approaching our Tianlin City from the east gate."

The messenger quickly explained.

Zhang Tian sat on the chair in a daze.

"It's over. The Demonic Beast is about to attack the city. Why don't we run away in advance? How can the reinforcements from the Tianlin City defend against the Demonic Beast?"

" Sir, perhaps it's a First Grade Great Demon? "

The military advisor at the side said carefully.

"When you kill this First Grade Great Demon, you can ask for some benefits from the Heavenly Guard."

Zhang Tian rolled his eyes and patted his forehead.

"That makes sense! Someone, bring my middle grade edge tool! Today, I'm going to kill a Demon Lord!"

Seeing that Zhang Tian was not scared out of his wits, the military advisor heaved a sigh of relief. If City Lord ran away, the Tianlin City would really be finished.

Zhang Tian was after all a Five Apertures warrior. In just a short while, he had arrived at the top of the city wall.

Looking from afar, there was a giant Big Tiger Demon who was dozens of meters tall leisurely walking not far away. He was only less than ten kilometers away from the Tianlin City.

"Its body shape is very good. If I treat it as a mount, that would be great."

Zhang Tian said greedily, attracting a strange gaze from the soldiers beside him.

"Sir, that is a level seven demon!"

The advisor's expression was ugly. No one could stop a Level Seven Demon Lord from attacking the city.

"A Level Seven demon? Liang, quick, the fastest Profound Horse!"

Zhang Tian's expression changed. They could fight a First Grade Level 2 demon, but they couldn't fight a Seventh Grade demon.

"But, my lord, what should we do with the hundred thousand people of Tianlin City?"

The soldiers guarding the city all had ugly expressions on their faces. They, City Lord, only knew how to run when faced with danger. He really wasn't qualified to be City Lord.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's fine as long as we run away. At that time, as long as I run back to Swallow Cloud Prefecture, Heavenly Guard won't be able to do anything to me." Zhang Tian shook his head and said indifferently.1

"Master..."

The city guard wanted to persuade him, but he suddenly saw a group of flags drifting over from the distance. They were coming from the direction of Capital City.

"Sir, there's no need to leave. The reinforcements are here!"
