"God has doomed me!"
The moment he saw Fang Yuan, the old lord understood: "The Gu family is doomed."
The aura on his body instantly subsided, and he spoke solemnly to Fang Yuanxing.
"What's your name, sir?"
"I'm Xia Yuan!"
…
As the conversation between the two began, there was a sound of heavy breathing all around.
The only person who could be treated so seriously by the old lord and prevent him from killing people was someone from the same combat school.
In other words, Lord Fang Yuan has been promoted to the combat school!
Too fantastical, right?!
This promotion speed is terrifying!
…
Most people made this judgment, and Jiang Jie also made this judgment even faster.
Jiang Jie's expression immediately changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Go!"
I won’t talk about any strategies to win them over now. I just want to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
It's too dangerous. There are two combat schools that are enemies, not friends, confronting each other.
If you don't leave now, when will you leave?
The old lord glanced at Jiang Jie and his group who were fleeing quickly, frowned, and wanted to stop them, but because he was concerned about the situation ahead, he did not take action.
Fang Yuan had no intention of taking action. One reason was that they were both Heavenly Dao mercenaries, and the other was that the other party was the lord of a territory. If he died, it would cause great unrest and weaken the overall strength of the human race!
After all, Fang Yuan is not a real politician. When considering issues, he does not make so many calculations and just follows his heart.
So, Jiang Jie left the water fort safely, boarded the boat, and left the territory of the Gu Principality.
Lin Yu looked at Jiang Jie, who looked unwilling, and said, "My lord, victory and defeat are common in the military, so don't be discouraged."
Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "I just didn't expect Fang Yuan to be promoted to the combat school so quickly."
Lin Yu analyzed, "Fang Yuan comes from a declining warrior family and was educated in strict warrior ethics from a young age. Even after acquiring the Heavenly Dao Mercenary System, he hasn't lost his true nature and remains steadfast in his resolve. From the intelligence we've gathered, it seems he spends his time cultivating and killing corpse demons on missions. He's completely focused on other matters and doesn't care about the power struggles within the territory! With the Heavenly Dao Mercenary System, it's no surprise he was able to advance to the Battle School so quickly."
Jiang Jie nodded in agreement with Lin Yu's analysis and sighed, "Yeah! We've been out for over ten days now, and we've been busy scheming against each other. How can we have time to practice and complete missions? Naturally, we're still a long way from advancing to the Battle School. That's why we didn't notice such an obvious loophole!"
Jiang Jie and Lin Yu both possessed the Tiandao Mercenary System and were both extremely intelligent people. However, they did not notice the speed and time required for Tiandao Mercenaries to advance to the combat school.
Let Fang Yuan advance to the combat school and directly break the deadlock!
Lin Yu thought about the manpower, material resources and effort invested in this operation, and he felt distressed: "My lord, this opportunity is gone just like that, what a pity!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Jie was also very depressed. Looking at the water stronghold from afar, he said solemnly, "Jin Mao's use of momentum is really amazing! He has been passively defending and using overt tactics all the time, but he has calculated everything!"
"Look, the old lord has appeared and is going to clean up the territory. With this, the Gu family has completely lost its last bit of prestige. It will never be a lord family again!"
"He didn't do anything, he just went with the flow. He just managed the timing perfectly, and got the result he wanted without anyone dying!"
"Completely eliminate the possibility of Gu's restoration!"
"Completely destroy the Cheng family's ambition to restore the monarchy!"
"Let the virtual monarch council completely replace the feudal lord shogunate system."
"He succeeded! He used the least amount of resources, borrowed all the resources he could, achieved his goal, and became the biggest winner!"
"Is this method powerful?"
"Lin Yu, I lost to Jin Mao, and it wasn't unfair!"
Lin Yu listened silently to Jiang Jie's many words. After seeing that Jiang Jie had finished venting, he said, "My Lord, the important thing is the future. What's important is your ambition!"
Jiang Jie took a deep breath, his face slowly subsiding from the unnecessary emotions, and said, "Our alliance with the Gu Principality died before it was even proposed. What are your opinions?"
"My lord, do you want to go back? No, it's too dangerous!"
"However, we must give the alliance a try. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for both of our families."
"My Lord, let's go back first, and then I will go on a diplomatic mission to the Gu Principality again. What do you think?"
"Okay! Let's do this!" Jiang Jie looked at the determined Lin Yu and realized that his persistence was useless! Lin Yu definitely didn't dare to let him go back! So he nodded and agreed to Lin Yu's proposal.
…
Jiang Jie's departure was just a minor incident. It did not hinder the confrontation between the old lord and Fang Yuan, nor did it hinder this battle that concerned the future of the territory.
"Sir, today I will only kill the ringleaders, Jin Mao and Wu Zheng. The others will not be implicated. How do you do that?"
"No! I'm here today, you can't move alone!"
"You are so young? You have already been promoted to the combat school. Are you willing to be a lackey in the eyes of Jin Mao?!"
"I'm no one's lackey. I'm just protecting our common territory!"
"Your territory? This is our Gu family's territory!"
"Not anymore!"
"You just say it's not?! How domineering!"
"It's not that I say it's not true. It's that the Gu family lacks the power to control the territory! That's why we have the result today, isn't it? The old lord should understand this principle!"
The old lord truly understood this truth, and precisely because he understood it so well, he wanted to eliminate the "Thirty-Six Allies" of the past! Today, they are the most powerful force in the territory!
Now, the attempt has ended in failure, and everyone has been offended, but the plan cannot be carried out. Doesn't this put the Gu family in opposition to everyone?
The old lord was in a difficult situation.
The Gu family is in danger!
The old lord was decisive. He knew that he didn't have much time left and could not achieve the goal of purge, and he had offended so many people, so he immediately gave in.
Protect the family first, then think about other things!
If this situation is not handled properly, the Gu family might really be wiped out by the angry crowd!
After all, the old lord had been a lord for half his life. He was thick-skinned and humble. He stared at Fang Yuan blankly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Of course I understand this simple truth! But knowing is easier said than done! I have the will, but not the strength. What can I do?!"
The old lord understood that surrendering at this time would not be an excuse to shirk responsibility!
That will only backfire!
You have to stop it first, then commit the crime, and finally surrender, only then will there be a chance of survival!
