Quan Ji raised her head, and the power of the Golden-Sealed Divine Official was unleashed. With the blessing of the Crown of Life, she gave people a very terrifying feeling.
"Exactly."
Looking at this thin and weak force, the city lord of Ruocheng was completely dumbfounded.
Isn't the Holy Empire being far too disrespectful?
It's a national war, after all. Each city in the Qingquan Empire has at least tens of thousands of troops. They can't possibly send just a tiny number of people to fight, can they?
What can you guys fight?!
No... Judging from the experience of the first two cities, the Holy Glory Empire is already powerful enough to crush any city of the Clear Spring Empire.
It's absolutely impossible that they would send so many people over without any sense of vigilance, just like they are now.
Unless—there is an unparalleled master among them who can single-handedly withstand an army of thousands!
Looking at the soldiers approaching the city, the city lord of Ruocheng felt more and more certain that his guess was correct, and he gasped in shock.
A general next to him said, "The Holy Glory Empire only sent this many people. Are they really getting arrogant? Why don't we just wipe them all out?"
Upon hearing this statement, the city lord of Ruocheng was terrified and quickly covered his mouth.
"Disaster comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth!"
"Although the new leader of the Holy Glory Empire has only just taken office, look at how the Fire Archer Empire was destroyed back then?"
"She personally led the charge in this battle, so she certainly wouldn't make such a basic mistake!"
"Who knows, she might have deliberately provoked us to attack the small team from the Holy Glory Empire, and then used those pre-prepared methods to catch us completely off guard!"
"And who knows, there might be the Holy Glory Empire's army hiding around here. If we make any rash moves, they will immediately show up and destroy our city!"
"This is a trap, this is definitely a scheme! I've lived most of my life, what haven't I seen? There's no way I'd fall for this!"
The general beside him agreed with the city lord's point and nodded, but then considered another possible outcome:
"What if they just want to test us?"
The city lord clicked his tongue.
"How is that possible? The Holy Glory Empire isn't stupid. Even if it's a test, they must have a backup plan. We can't act rashly."
During the time the two were discussing, Quan Ji was already yawning from sleepiness.
She said:
"No matter how much you discuss, it's useless. Our Holy Glory Empire is exhausted and we want a temporary truce."
"Therefore, to show our sincerity, we are willing to send only a small team, after all, no one wants to see innocent casualties from war, right?"
"Lord of the city, for the safety of your people, please show your sincerity and open the gates for us."
Quan Ji's tone was very serious, and she didn't seem to be trying to fool anyone.
The two men on the city gate exchanged a glance.
The general said decisively, "No, we absolutely cannot open the gate for them. Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger into our sheepfold? It's too dangerous!"
If the city lord really thought this blockhead was useless, he slapped him on the head.
"Are you out of your mind? Wouldn't letting them into the city benefit everyone? Do you really want Ruocheng to suffer the same fate as the previous two cities?"
"Besides...wouldn't it be easier for us to get things done if we let the Holy Glory Empire in?!"
The general suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean...we'll secretly assassinate them all after they enter the city?!"
The next second, another slap landed hard on the back of his head.
Snap—
The pain was so intense that he almost lost his head.
"What the hell did I say wrong? What did I do to you?!"
The city lord coughed lightly: "Look at that first little girl... her strength is terrifying. Who knows which old hag used a secret technique to lock onto her appearance? You must not underestimate her, you know?!"
"If you dare to make a move, she'll reveal her true strength in the next second and wipe out our entire city, believe it or not?!"
The general, reminded of this, looked at Princess Quan again.
hiss--
It's terrifying to think about.
Yes, such a beautiful woman, who looks only in her teens, how could she possibly possess such powerful energy?
The only explanation is what the city lord just said—this must be an illusion created by some old hag using secret magic!
"So... should we let them in? What if they cause trouble?"
The city lord sighed: "You said it yourself, it's just a 'what if'... Believe it or not, if we don't let them in, their 'what if' could become 'what if'."
As he spoke, Quan Ji also revealed her Brahma, a divinely bestowed weapon whose energy fluctuations were even more terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
General: "..." I'm scared.
The city lord patted the general on the shoulder.
“You guys who don’t study hard are really all brawn and no brains, but it’s okay… luckily we have my strategist here.”
"From now on... be more mindful. This city, this country, is more important than anything else, you understand?"
The general nodded: "Thanks to you."
After the two finished speaking, the city lord of Ruocheng elegantly took out a folding fan from his spatial treasure bag.
He opened it and shook it in front of him.
"So you are guests from the Holy Glory Empire who have come from afar. Since you wish to submit a request for a truce, our Ruocheng would naturally be more than happy to welcome you."
