Chapter 289-290: Guarding the Front Lines, Just the Two of Us Is Enough
Su Tianchen’s expression was serious, and he spoke without any beating around the bush.
He didn’t give any speeches either.
He simply said calmly: “Many civilians in the city are still being evacuated, so everyone, I hope you can hold on for two days. I won’t say much more. Those who flee will be dealt with by military law. Hold on, and after two days, there will be rewards based on rit!”
His words were very concise.
Afterwards, he turned the guard posts into cards and provided them to the people below to choose from.
Luo Sheng was in the crowd, scanning the Card Masters around him. Their levels were mostly between Silver 5-star and Silver 1-star, with none below Bronze level.
Presumably, the Bronze-level Card Masters had been mostly consud.
Now it was the turn of the Silver level.
War has always been a rciless thing.
Just like in World War II, young people went first, then middle-aged and elderly, and finally won. Of course, children also inevitably beca part of the war machine.
In this world, it was the sa.
At least Luo Sheng noticed that there were far fewer Bronze-level Card Masters.
Then he saw many Card Masters fighting over guard posts.
Those who managed to grab guard posts at the rear of Pingcheng were beaming with joy, while those whose guard posts were on the front lines looked gloomy, as if their parents had just died.
Luo Sheng held Xu Yourong’s hand.
“Just follow .”
“Mm.”
Xu Yourong nodded gently.
Luo Sheng knew she was in great danger now.
The biggest threat ca not from the creatures of the polluted land, but from the Xu family and the Evil Card Masters.
Luo Sheng didn’t rush to compete with the Card Masters for guard positions, but waited outside the crowd. After a while, Luo Sheng finally got a position.
It was about the most forward position.
Guarding the city gate.
Although Pingcheng was a modern city, in order to adapt to the changes in this world, city walls had been built.
To prevent invading creatures from attacking.
And now, guarding the city gate was the most arduous task, after all, most invading creatures would pass through there.
As for other guard posts, they were mostly located on the streets, forming a protective network to allow civilians to quickly transfer to the XC district.
At this ti.
Many Card Masters, seeing Luo Sheng draw the frontline post,
Discussed among themselves.
“His luck is too bad, he directly drew the position at the city gate, I guess he won’t last half a day.”
“Perhaps heaven is fair, giving him a beautiful girl, but letting him choose the most dangerous place.”
“I guess Xu Yourong will follow him, what a pity.”
“Why don’t you go pick up a corpse, maybe it’s still warm?”
“I don’t want to, going there is basically a death sentence.”
In the eyes of other Card Masters, it was simply a suicidal position.
Because the number of invading creatures at the city gate was not ordinary, basically all invasions into the city would pass through there.
This ant that the Card Masters guarding the city gate were fighting against thousands of troops.
However, Luo Sheng didn’t mind.
If he couldn’t win, he could escape.
Moreover, Luo Sheng now had a huge reserve of spiritual power. Except for 【Levni】 consuming a bit more during battle.
The rest, like Bai Moxue or Alice, consud spiritual power equivalent to Bronze cards, hardly consuming much of his spiritual power.
Persisting for a few weeks was not a problem at all.
Moreover, Luo Sheng only needed to summon Anastasia to solve all problems.
Of course, to be more conservative, summoning 【tal Flower Tree】 would suffice. Its power was even more enormous, enough to devour a large number of incoming enemies.
At this ti, Su Tianchen patted his shoulder and said:
“Stay alive, your rits can get you huge rewards in the Card Alliance.”
Obviously, he felt sorry that Luo Sheng had drawn the frontline position.
After all, this was randomly drawn.
Luo Sheng didn’t mind, this was his own choice.
Luo Sheng turned back and asked: “After holding on for two days, will soone co to clean them up?”
“Yes, hold on for two more days, and reinforcents will arrive. I heard there’s also a powerful envoy coming, for whom these are not a problem.”
Su Tianchen answered simply.
Then he rushed off to other positions.
Generally, Gold-level Card Masters guarded important nodes and key positions.
Such as power plants, reservoirs, resource warehouses and other important locations that could stop a city from functioning.
As for the front lines, they were the responsibility of Silver Card Masters.
Luo Sheng took Xu Yourong to the front lines.
But after he left.
Several Card Masters suddenly smiled sinisterly: “Looks like he’s really going to his death.”
“But just in case, let’s report this news to the Xu family steward.”
“Mm.”
These Xu family Card Masters, after discussing briefly, hurriedly rushed to the Xu family’s stronghold in the old city district.
At this ti, Xu Wenbai was in the stronghold, waiting for news.
Besides being a steward of the Xu family, he was also soone who handled dirty work, specializing in solving all kinds of difficulties for the Xu family.
Those Card Masters hurriedly said: “We know the girl’s location, she’s with Luo Sheng, now guarding the North City Gate.”
Xu Wenbai’s eyes imdiately lit up.
Then he lowered his head, muttering: “No wonder that girl could run away, so she had another helper. That boy is a tough one to deal with.”
The Xu family had suffered losses at Luo Sheng’s hands before.
Especially during the academy competition.
Luo Sheng specifically targeted Xu family Card Masters for hunting, until he made the Xu family compensate with a bottle of spiritual essence. Only then did he stop, even incurring the displeasure of the Alliance envoy.
So, Xu Wenbai had never had any good feelings towards Luo Sheng, wishing to kill him.
However, it hadn’t risen to the level of hatred, just dislike.
Now, that Xu Yourong could successfully escape from the Evil Card Masters’ pursuit, it was probably Luo Sheng’s doing.
Because his potential and strength were indeed powerful, he could be considered a genius, with abilities stronger than opponents of the sa level.
Unfortunately.
How could the Xu family, such a huge entity, allow this kind of potential genius to step on their heads?
Not a chance!
A dead genius is the only good genius.
“Both of them must die. You go to your guard posts first, I’ll handle the rest,” Xu Wenbai said directly.
A Card Master still wanted to scavenge, so he asked: “Manager, if we all go to guard, who will deal with them?”
Because killing a Card Master allowed one to seize the resources on their body.
Many Card Masters were willing to do such things.
“Don’t concern yourself with this, and don’t get involved in this matter, otherwise you might die without knowing why,” Xu Wenbai warned.
That Card Master imdiately deflated.
Returning empty-handed.
Continuing back to his guard post.
As for Xu Wenbai, watching the sky gradually darken, he returned to the family compound, telling this news to Old Lady Xu.
Old Lady Xu was the leader of the Xu family.
She had been in seclusion before.
Now she ended her seclusion due to the chaos in Pingcheng.
Then she also nodded, “It’s best to scatter their corpses. I don’t want any of the Xu family’s information to be leaked out. That girl is very cunning.
When she was in the Xu family, she secretly collected a lot of information.
If she one day denounces these secrets to the Alliance, we’ll all be finished, so you know what to do, right?”
Xu Wenbai nodded: “Yes, Old Lady Xu, I plan to take action myself, I will definitely kill those two brats.”
He was a Silver 9-star Card Master.
Killing those two brats would be easy.
But Old Lady Xu said: “Be careful, and notify the organization’s people, it’s best to have them find a few people to help.
Moreover, the organization also wants to advance into the city, perhaps the North City Gate is a good breach. We might as well go with the flow and sell them a favor.”
Old Lady Xu was still thinking of killing two birds with one stone.
Not only could they cleanly kill Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong, but they could also sell a favor to the Evil Card Masters, seeking benefits.
A small old man asked: “Do you need
to take action?”
He was a Gold-level deputy elder.
Old Lady Xu shook her head, “We are about to move to the XC district, there’s a lot to busy ourselves with these few days, the family’s rear needs you to take charge.”
The small old man nodded helplessly: “Alright.”
Old Lady Xu looked at Xu Wenbai again: “Report to him afterwards, I’ll lead the main force into the XC district first.”
“Yes.”
After Xu Wenbai left.
He ca to the outskirts of the city through covert ans.
And contacted mbers of the Evil Card Masters, then Xu Wenbai told them everything according to Old Lady Xu’s intentions.
A Gold 5-star Card Master, who was the leader of the Evil Card Masters this ti, Dongli Wentian, nodded lightly.
And said: “Then we’ll trust you to start breaking through from the North City Gate. You must attack into the old city district within half a day, ti is of the essence.”
Xu Wenbai then asked quietly: “Is it so urgent?”
“You don’t know, the Alliance has already sent reinforcents, so we must fight for every minute and second here. Our purpose in Pingcheng is very simple, to weaken the Alliance.” Dongli Wentian explained briefly.
Then he added: “Don’t worry about those two brats, we’ll definitely deal with them cleanly for you, but you know about the things on their bodies.”
“Of course, it’s all your spoils of war, we won’t take a bit.” Xu Wenbai nodded.
“You get it.” Dongli Wentian was very satisfied, patting his shoulder.
Then he led several Evil Card Masters towards the North City Gate where Luo Sheng was guarding.
In their eyes, killing Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong was just a side task.
A Gold-level Card Master fighting against Silver-level Card Masters was a crushing stance.
Wasn’t it just a piece of cake?
In their eyes, capturing Pingcheng was the most important thing.
