"Commander He, I already gave you a clear answer yesterday. Our Changgan Regiment is only seeking peace and has no intention of participating in the struggle in Nancheng!" Zhang Ziping said impatiently, his meaning quite blunt.

"Seeking peace?" The man in plain clothes sneered, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table before slowly saying, "In the Southern City, only the Military Commander can promise peace. Do you think relying on you, or the Northern City Alliance, would be of any use?"

Zhang Ziping remained silent, while Taishicheng seemed somewhat tempted. "You mean the master of the South City is the military lord you mentioned?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think the South City is still the same South City as before? Freedom? Equality? Heh, now whoever has the power can rule the city!" The man in plain clothes shook his head dismissively.

Tai Shicheng frowned and asked again, "Then what benefits can you give us?"

"There are many benefits, as long as you join the Crimson Blood Army!"

Seeing that Zhang Ziping and Taishicheng were still hesitating, the man in plain clothes dropped a bombshell, saying, "We have people in the Northern City Alliance. A few days ago, the deputy leader of the Northern City Alliance left with a group of elites. Two days later, the Northern City Alliance will send another batch of core forces! So, that will be the best time to destroy the Northern City Alliance!"

"What do you want us to do?" Zhang Ziping, who had been silent all along, finally asked.

"With a coordinated attack from within and without, we'll take down the North City Alliance in one fell swoop!" The man in plain clothes lowered his voice and continued, "You have over four hundred men. With just a little cooperation, our army will take over the North City Alliance within half an hour!"

"When the Northern City Alliance is destroyed, this territory will belong to you! And from then on, you will enjoy the protection of the Crimson Blood Army!"

"Great, they've come to steal my man!"

Jiang Yuan walked in expressionlessly, while Liu Zhaodi, who was beside him, shrank her neck and silently followed him in.

It wasn't just the warlords from the southern city who were trying to poach her; she was too.

With the right hoe, no corner is too big to dig down.

"Who?" He Wenrui's expression hardened, and a powerful force emanated from his body, revealing him to be an eighth-level expert.

"Boss!"

Zhang Ziping and Taishicheng turned pale. The moment they saw Jiang Yuan, all their ulterior motives vanished without a trace, not for any other reason than the unfathomable depth of this man's abilities.

"Liu Zhaodi?" The first person He Wenrui saw was Liu Zhaodi. Liu Zhaodi was quite famous in Nancheng. Her abilities and talents were all top-notch, and she was hard to ignore.

"Is this group from your Liu family?"

He Wenrui's face showed a hint of surprise and doubt. If the people here were arranged by the Liu family, then it was clear that the Liu family and the Beicheng Alliance had formed an alliance, which would make things very difficult.

"You warlords are overreaching!" Liu Zhaodi looked at the person in front of her with disdain.

“It really is from your Liu family!” He Wenrui said solemnly.

Liu Zhaodi didn't explain. Jiang Yuan's things would eventually belong to her, Liu Zhaodi. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was a member of the Liu family!

"You can get out now!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, looking at He Wenrui.

"You two should think it over carefully!" He Wenrui glanced at Zhang Ziping and the other man, left after saying this last sentence.

Jiang Yuan sat down calmly. "Aren't you two going to explain?"

"Boss, He Wenrui came to us on his own! It has nothing to do with us!" Tai Shicheng immediately distanced himself from the situation. He was joking; if he didn't explain clearly, he might be killed to silence him.

"And you?" Jiang Yuan asked Zhang Ziping.

"He really did come by himself..."

"That's not the explanation I want!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, lighting a cigarette and waiting patiently.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Zhang Ziping asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan remained silent, while Zhang Ziping and Taishicheng grew increasingly anxious as they waited, but they still couldn't get a single question out.

Finally, as the cigarette burned out, Jiang Yuan stubbed it out and spoke.

"Haven't you forgotten the life of living on the edge of a knife just because you've come to the South City? Are you only interested in enjoying the comforts of the present?"

Zhang Ziping roughly understood what he meant when he heard this. He smiled wryly and said, "Boss, you know these brothers were all ordinary people before the disaster. Now, everyone is thinking about enjoying life to the fullest!"

“Very good, now go tell them that the enjoyment is over!” Jiang Yuan stood up.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

“Go to the occupied areas to kill monsters. I need to see your value!” Jiang Yuan said without any hesitation.

“The occupied area…” Zhang Ziping was stunned. The meaning of this was all too obvious.

The South City is different from the wilderness. Monsters from an entire province once flocked to the South City safe zone. It can be said that the monster density outside the South City is tens of millions of times that of the wilderness. Fighting monsters in the occupied area is bound to be a matter of life and death.

"This battle is entirely voluntary!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's remarkably calm demeanor, Zhang Ziping and Taishicheng exchanged a glance before finally replying, "Boss, we'll go down and ask the brothers for their opinions!"

After the two left, Liu Zhaodi squeezed into the seat where Jiang Yuan was sitting and said in a puzzled tone, "If you let them choose voluntarily, there definitely won't be many people who will go! After all, in their eyes, going to fight in the occupied area is undoubtedly a suicide mission!"

"If becoming stronger requires someone to urge him on, is he really strong?" Jiang Yuan said meaningfully.

"What if none of these people go? What will you do then?" Liu Zhaodi thought of the worst-case scenario.

Jiang Yuan replied without any pressure, "That would be best, I can train another group of people!"

Looking at the carefree Jiang Yuan, Liu Zhaodi felt an inexplicable fondness for him. She wrapped her arms around him and said gently, "Don't worry, even if you're all alone, you still have the lovely second young lady of the Liu family to keep you company!"
