In the Guanhai City commercial district, the guards stationed there are blocking civilians from evacuating.

On the streets, guards confronted civilians who wanted to evacuate across roadblocks.

"You are not allowed to leave. Stay at home obediently."

"The enemy can't defeat us, so you can rest assured."

"Don't worry, we will win this war soon."

"Don't you believe in the strength of the guards? We will protect you."

The guards tried to find all kinds of reasons to appease the civilians and let them go home.

But the civilians are not stupid. They also have their own channels of information. In addition, they have heard the explosions in the southern city area with their own ears and seen the guards retreating in a panic with their own eyes. They naturally know that the situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, civilians in the commercial district argued for their rights and wanted to evacuate with their families.

"Why do you restrict our freedom?"

"I know the enemy can't defeat us, so I just want to go around the North City area, right?"

"Get out of my way! How dare you stop me? Do you know who my uncle is?!"

"Master Guard, it's not that I don't trust you, but my child misses his grandmother. We want to take him to the North City to find his grandmother."

The civilians responded either forcefully or flatteringly, trying to convince the guards to let them leave.

However, the guards had received a death order, so how could they let them leave? So their tone became increasingly hostile, and their attempts to stop them became more and more intense, gradually turning into pushing.

Most civilians did not dare to provoke the guards and could only shut their mouths in embarrassment.

However, a small number of civilians who had good family connections were not afraid of the guards. When they saw that the guards would not let them evacuate, they started cursing in frustration.

"You bunch of losers, you can only bully us civilians. When you see an invader, you run faster than anyone else!"

"What did you say?!"

"What? Did I say something wrong? Don't think I didn't see you guys running away in panic. If you guys can run away, why can't we evacuate?"

"What do you know? We are luring the enemy deeper into our territory!"

"Bah! You guys are really good at flattering yourself. If you can't beat me, then you can't beat me. Why are you pretending here?"

"You bastard, I'm here."

"What? You want to hit me? I paid my taxes. The sword in your hand might have been bought with my tax money. Now you want to hit your breadwinners, right?"

Seeing that the guards were speechless, the civilian smugly tried to cross the roadblock.

As a result, just as he took a step forward, a feather arrow flew over with a whoosh and pierced deeply into the ground in front of him.

Looking at the feather arrow that was only two inches away from his feet, the civilian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then raised his head suddenly and shouted angrily:

"Who? Who shot the arrow? Do you know who I am?!"

"Then do you know who I am?"

A deep voice reached the civilian's ears, and he subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

He saw a young man in a cloak walking towards him calmly, followed by a monster that looked like it was wearing a hood.

This civilian was quite knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that this monster was the final evolved form of the Tree Owl, the Sniper Tree Owl.

It is not difficult to tell from the name that this kind of monster is extremely good at archery. The feather arrow just now should have been shot by the sniper tree owl.

In Guanhai City, there is only one person who possesses such a powerful sniper tree owl, and that is Robin, the captain of the first team.

Thinking of this, the civilian immediately said with a wry smile:
"Isn't this Lord Robin? How could I not know you? My uncle often mentions you to me."

"Who is your uncle?" Robin asked expressionlessly.

"My uncle's name is Sel, and he's a director of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce." The civilian said with a little pride.

Robin said without changing his expression: "Your uncle is a supervisor, and you are just a civilian. It seems that you and Supervisor Searle don't have a good relationship."

Looking at the civilians whose faces suddenly changed, Robin continued:

"Don't be nervous. After all, your uncle is the head of the Chamber of Commerce. We, the guards, have to give him some respect."

Hearing this, the civilian forced a smile, rubbed his hands and said, "Then can I leave now?"

Robin shook his head: "No, because your uncle will no longer be the supervisor soon, so we don't need to give him face."

The civilians were incredulous and asked, "How is this possible? Where did you get this information?"

"From what I heard, I think Director Sel is not very competent, so I plan to remove him from his position. Do you have any other questions?" Robin asked, tilting his head.

"You are just a squad leader of the guard team. What qualifications do you have to revoke my uncle's position?" the civilian said in panic.

Robin smiled calmly: "I am not qualified, but my great grandfather is qualified."

"Who is your great-grandfather?" the civilian asked blankly.

Robin said with contempt: "It seems that your relationship with Director Searle is really not very good, otherwise you wouldn't even know who my great grandfather is."

"Forget it. Anyway, I don't know if this relationship will be useful in the future, so I'll just tell you."

"My great grandfather is President Morgan of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. He must be qualified to revoke your uncle's supervisor position, right?"

"You are not worthy enough to compete with me!"

After saying that, Robin ignored the civilians slumped on the ground and waved to the guards:
"Why are you still standing there? Send these civilians back to their homes."

"But they just won't leave."

"If they don't leave, chase them away. Are your monsters just eating for free?"

"As ordered!"

After getting Robin's permission, the guard immediately commanded his monster to move forward.

Seeing that the guards were serious about their actions, the civilians could only return home reluctantly.

But there were still some civilians who refused to give up and did not leave. Among them, a couple came to Robin holding their daughter.

Before they could speak, Robin said impatiently:
"Unless your family has a relationship with the two presidents, I will let you pass."

"If it's okay, go home quickly. I don't want to hit you in front of the children."

The couple looked at each other and knelt down in front of Robin.

"Sir, please let our daughter leave here. Her grandmother is in the North City. She knows the way and won't trouble you!"

When Robin heard this, he looked the couple up and down, then frowned and said:

"You must have heard some news, right?"

The couple lowered their heads and said nothing, clearly agreeing with Robin's words. "Now that you know the whole story, you should understand that no place in Guanhai City is safe."

"Even if your daughter ran to the North City area, she could still be harmed."

"Rather than being separated from my daughter and living in fear all day, it is better for the whole family to stay together and silently pray for the enemy's mercy."

"Go home. This is my last reminder. If you don't leave, I will take action." Robin said indifferently.

The couple was silent for a moment, then stood up, bowed to Robin and left.

Looking at the backs of the family of three, Robin sighed helplessly and muttered to himself:

"When did our guard team fall to the point where we have to rely on the mercy of civilians and enemies to protect Guanhai City!"

"Are you unwilling?" A familiar voice sounded in Robin's ears.

Robin said without turning his head: "Well, Master Connor probably won't accept this either."

Connor came to Robin and said calmly: "Of course I am unwilling, but what's the point of being unwilling?"

“It is what it is, and there is nothing we can do to change it.”

Robin looked at Connor in surprise and said, "When did you become so depressed? This is not like you!"

Connor chuckled and said, "You've changed, too. You used to hate people talking about your relationship with President Morgan, but now you can even use President Morgan to pressure others."

Robin curled his lips and said, "Who asked him to compete with me for connections first? Besides, if I don't use this connection, I may not be able to use it in the future. Naturally, I have to experience the feeling of having the strongest connections."

Connor joked, "Do you think you didn't use this relationship before? Not just any guard can be the captain of the first team."

"I'm not that naive. I was able to become the captain of the first team, and it must be because of my great-grandfather's support."

Robin said calmly, "But my ability is worthy of this position. Otherwise, with your temper, you would have driven me away long ago."

Connor nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you are the most qualified person to be the captain of the first team!"

Robin was not happy to hear Connor's praise. Instead, he said with a sad face:

"I thought so before, but after last night's battle, I suddenly began to doubt myself. Am I really capable of being a captain?"

"I was arrogant and looked down on everyone. Even though I had sensed something was wrong, I still insisted on leading the team in a surprise attack, fantasizing about charging into the enemy camp, capturing Viscount Ryan, and becoming a hero of Guanhai City."

"As a result, we were surrounded by the enemy. We suffered heavy losses before we even saw the shadow of Viscount Ryan. We were forced to break out and retreat."

"Although we finally made it out, the second team was almost wiped out, and only one-third of the guards from the first team escaped. This is all my fault!"

Connor looked at Robin, whose face was full of remorse and pain, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I won't say it's not your fault. As the commander of the night attack force, you naturally have to take responsibility for this failure."

"But the responsibility is not yours alone. Captain Snake who proposed this plan, Captain Will who failed to respond in time, and even I are all responsible. You don't have to take all the blame on yourself."

Robin asked in confusion: "What is your responsibility? Aren't you against the night attack plan?"

Connor replied: "I objected, but I didn't follow through. That's my responsibility."

"My biggest responsibility is that I lost command of you and did not personally lead this night raid."

"Of course, even if I were in command, this night raid would be doomed to fail. The best I can do is reduce the losses of the team."

Robin smiled bitterly and said, "That's better than me. I don't know how to face the guards under my command now."

Connor teased, "So that's why you asked to die as an apology. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Let's not talk about your relationship with President Morgan. The situation is so critical right now. How could the two presidents cut off their own arms?"

"Even Will, who has been defeated in many battles, is alive and well, and you still want to die to atone for your sins. Isn't this just putting the two presidents on the fire?"

Robin scratched his head and said, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just felt sorry for the guards who didn't come back."

"It's good that you have this idea. Unlike some squad leaders, they are so scared of being implicated by you that their faces change color." Connor smiled disdainfully.

Robin also smiled and said, "Why don't you just say the name of Captain Will."

Connor shook his head. "Alright, let's not talk about him. Although your night attack failed, it also caused considerable casualties to the enemy. It is reasonable for the two presidents to only punish you slightly."

"They arranged you here to make up for your crime, but this job is not very good. No matter whether we win or lose this war, we will be despised by the civilians."

Robin sneered, "We deserve to be scorned! Is Grandfather getting senile? Why did he listen to the slander of that poisonous snake?"

"He has the audacity to use the lives of civilians as bargaining chips to gamble on the enemy's mercy!"

Connor sighed and said, "Alas, President Morgan has no choice but to adopt this strategy."

Robin snorted coldly: "I would rather be killed by the hazelnut ball than rely on civilians to survive!"

"We, the Guards, are here to protect civilians, not let civilians protect us!"

Connor said with admiration: "I'm glad you think so. It seems that you have grown a lot after last night's failure."

"No wonder President Morgan regards you as the hope of the family and asked me to take care of you personally. His vision is still as vicious as ever."

Robin said in an inexplicable tone: "What's the use of having a good vision? He only has the Shang Hu Hui in his eyes, not our family at all."

"I can guarantee that if we lose this war, he will be destroyed along with the Shang Hu Association."

Connor explained: "This is normal. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is the hard work of President Morgan."

After that, he changed the subject and asked Robin:

"By the way, you seem to have lost confidence in this war. Are you scared by the enemy?"

Robin said calmly, "You don't need to test me. I will not be a deserter. I will definitely fight to the end."

"But for the continuation of my family, when Shang Hu Hui is powerless to turn the tide and I am lucky enough not to die in battle, I will surrender to the enemy."

Hearing this, Connor turned his head and examined Robin, then said in a complicated tone:
"Your father told you this, didn't he?"

"Ah."

"That means even President Morgan has lost confidence in this war."

"What does this have to do with my great grandfather? You mean."

Robin suddenly realized that without the instruction of the patriarch Morgan, how could his father dare to let him find an opportunity to surrender.

The two were silent for a while, until they heard a low horn sound.

"Woo~~"

Connor and Robin looked up at the same time and saw the dark shadow in the sky.

"It's the enemy's air force! Everyone be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"As you command!" (End of this chapter)
