The Sun Never Sets’ city walls were nearly completed. However, if the three countries were to launch a joint attack, the walls would not hold.
“Am I supposed to swallow this anger?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Her head was filled with images of the injured miners. How could she be the city master if she could not protect her people?
“We have no other viable ways right now. We can speed up the construction of the city. It won’t be too late to take our revenge after the wall is completed. They must have attacked us because they wanted to hinder our progress. Dealing with them now will cause a delay in our construction.” Du Lang looked angry too, but he knew the consequences of their action.
“Reporting to the city master, another three teams have returned to the city. All of them were attacked too.” A high-level demon swiftly made his way in and reported another terrifying news.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath. It seemed like their opponents were dead set to hinder the construction of her city. It looked like the other teams would have suffered the same fate as well.
They had lost too many people to the series of attacks, so they could not continue their work. Fortunately, they had enough obsidians to complete the rest of the walls.
However, Shen Yanxiao would not let that debt go unpaid!
“Bear with it? If I were to bear with it, does that not mean that I allowed them to harm my people in my own land? Since they dared to attack our teams in the eastern area, do we want to wait for them to cause trouble in my city?! They’ll get even more fearless to bully us!” Shen Yanxiao could not swallow that anger. She went to the Forsaken Land to build a city and not to be humiliated as such.
Slaves were human, too, and she would never let them die in vain.
“If I do not take revenge, wouldn’t that make my people lose faith in me?” Shen Yanxiao shut her eyes. If it were not for her identity, she would have just brought the Vermillion Bird to wreak havoc on the other three cities for their actions.
Du Lang sighed. He knew that Shen Yanxiao was someone who would always protect her people; she would never swallow that anger.
“However, the other three cities are already deeply rooted in the Forsaken Land. Even if you wish to take revenge or have three mythical beasts, how could you possibly rival against them? They might also have mythical beasts and other experts. If you were to rush into a trap, then there would be no hope for Sun Never Sets!” Shen Yanxiao was the backbone of the city, and without her, how would they persist? Without her, would the demons still get along with the humans there?
In any case, nothing bad should happen to Shen Yanxiao. Absolutely not!
“Please think thrice!”
“Please think thrice!”
Humans and demons knelt before Shen Yanxiao as they pleaded for her not to be rash.
She was their only hope, and if something were to happen to her, the city could not reconstruct again.
“What’s wrong? Did someone bully our Xiaoxiao? Which fool had such courage to do so?” A languid voice echoed from behind the crowd, and that familiar voice caused Shen Yanxiao’s heart to jump.
