C358 This Is an Opportunity
It was a bit of a fantasy.
The Sand Empire was on the east side, so if they wanted to come here, they had to go through at least several cities on the east side.
Furthermore, they were moving on such a large scale, it was impossible that not a single person had noticed them.
Therefore, Zheng Fang felt that Xu Tianyu was joking.
He had never even heard of Necromancer before, so Zheng Fang laughed rudely.
"Why don't you believe it?"
When Xu Tianyu saw Zheng Fang's laughter, he could roughly guess what Zheng Fang was thinking.
"Young Hero, this news is too sudden. I will send someone to check the Swamp Forest. If there is any problem, we will immediately inform the Empire to request for assistance."
Zheng Fang didn't sound like there was anything wrong with his words.
However, Xu Tianyu knew it was a perfunctory act. First, let's not talk about whether the soldiers sent by Zheng Fang could find the Sha King's army.
After all, not everyone was Xu Tianyu. He could accurately pinpoint the enemy's location.
Even if they were lucky and met an army from Sand Empire, they would not even have a chance to return.
Moreover, that would also directly stimulate the Sand King's army, and might cause the Sand Empire's deployment to start earlier.
When that time came, only when Five Seas City that did not know anything would there be a reaction, and then, who knows how many commoners would have to sacrifice themselves before the city gates.
"I advise you to believe me. If by the time they reach the city gate, both civilians and soldiers will be severely injured, and you won't be able to keep your position as the city lord. That's all I have to offer you, as for your choice, it's up to you. "
Xu Tianyu did not continue to persuade him. He knew that there was no point in talking anymore. He just left them a message and left.
Xu Tianyu's words also calmed Zheng Fang down a little.
He didn't care about anything else, but once someone threatened the position of city lord, he had no choice but to seriously consider it.
"City Lord, that brat was so cocky, should we send someone to kill him?"
"Can you beat him?"
Zheng Fang was interrupted while he was thinking. He looked a little unhappy.
The butler, of course, was very observant. Seeing the displeasure on Zheng Fang's face, he didn't mention Xu Tianyu immediately, but instead leaned towards the Sand Empire.
"City Lord, I think this is an opportunity."
"A chance?"
As expected, it caught Zheng Fang's attention. The butler continued speaking.
"Let's not care about whether the news of Sand Empire is right or not, we should gather our troops and pretend that there are enemies attacking us."
"Go on." Zheng Fang looked at the butler with interest.
"Master, the order of our Five Seas City is getting a little old. It's time to inject new blood."
The butler's words made Zheng Fang's eyes light up.
Even though Five Seas City was seemingly the largest power in the city, it would often be forced by the aristocrats and wealthy merchants in the city to the point where they were unable to implement their own policies.
The current him could make use of Sand Empire and let them work hard and contribute money.1
If anyone disobeys, kick them all out.
"Butler, spread the information about our conversation with Young Hero. Then, gather the troops and close the city gates."
"Yes, milord."
Acting, of course, had to be done in the guise of something real. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to deceive those old foxes within the city.
At this time, Xu Tianyu had already arrived at Five Seas City's pier, paid for a small boat, and started going down the river, preparing to go home.
Xu Tianyu had just left when the news of the Sand Empire's invasion had spread.
The people around them were all flustered. No one liked to fight; they wanted to live a peaceful life.
