I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 291 Someone will come to help you later, just don't make trouble! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Li Chen and Le Li came to the gate of Qizhou City. The gate was closed and the city defender Zhou Jing was organizing the city guards to deal with the next beast tide.

That’s the job of the City Guard, after all.

The scene before one's eyes made one frown.

The defender of Qizhou City is named Zhou Jing. He is of average ability and is not very diligent in training the city guards.

In addition, this is the central part of the Tiance Dynasty. There is no war and there has been no beast tide in the past ten years. Zhou Jing, who has been living a life of luxury, did not know what to do when facing the beast tide.

Li Chen looked at Zhou Jing, who was in a panic in front of him, and felt a little displeased.

Zhou Jing was seen standing on the city wall, holding a book in his hand and reading it. He seemed to be reading a "strategy guide". Then he saw something and shouted, "Quick! Quick! Get on the city wall! Where are the archers? Where are the archers?"
Stand as written above, don't stand in the wrong position. Where are the shield soldiers? Come up quickly. No, it seems to say that you should be in other positions. Bring up all the logs and stones, hurry up."

Under Zhou Jing's reckless command, the city guards were in chaos.

Some soldiers hurriedly ran up the city wall with quivers in their arms, but accidentally bumped into their companions who were carrying rolling logs, and arrows scattered all over the ground.

Some soldiers held shields but didn't know how to stand, so they stood there at a loss.

Some soldiers even ran in the wrong direction and were knocked over by other soldiers, grimacing in pain.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "You bunch of rubbish! You don't train normally, and now you can't even stand in line?!"

But his roar had no effect.

The city guards were still in a panic and the scene was in chaos.

The archers on the city wall didn't even prepare enough arrows, and some didn't even adjust their bowstrings.

Li Chen was puzzled. How could this guy be the city defender? How was he selected? It shouldn't be me who appointed him.
He also began to understand the core of the task given to him by the system.

If Li Chen was the weaker prince now, he could help Zhou Jing complete the task of resisting the beast tide.

Zhou Jing will definitely be grateful to Li Chen and become Li Chen's subordinate.

But the problem is, the one who came is Li Chen, who has reached the maximum level and is the emperor. He doesn't need Zhou Jing's help at all. In his eyes, Zhou Jing is just an unqualified city defender.

Even Le Li, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but whispered, "Your Majesty, this city guard is too unreliable, isn't he? If this continues, I'm afraid the city gate won't be able to be defended when the beast tide comes."

Normally she would not dare to say it for fear of offending Zhou Jing.

It’s different now. The person next to me is the emperor of the Tiance Dynasty. There is nothing I can’t say.

Li Chen nodded, his tone a little cold: "Indeed, it seems that he usually lives a life of luxury and has no experience in dealing with beast tides. The city guards are also neglected in training. It is too late to cram now."

Hearing Li Chen say this, Le Li felt a terrifying imperial pressure coming towards her.

Different from the Li Chen we usually see, he may be the real emperor now.

The invisible pressure made Le Li dare not breathe, and even her heartbeat quickened.

She knew that someone might be in trouble.

Even if Li Chen wanted to deal with Zhou Jing, he had to wait until the beast tide passed.

Now we have to find a way to solve the problem of the beast tide, otherwise, this area will be devastated.

According to normal procedures, Li Chen should use his appeal to invite a group of practitioners to resist the beast tide together and share the pressure of the city guards.

Everyone fights together to the end, guarding the peace, and then after surviving the disaster, they sigh at the sunset how great it is to be alive, and the relationship between each other will become closer.

But if he did this, Li Chen would feel very tired, and he would also owe favors to other people or the sect.

He thought casually and came up with a brilliant idea, and he had a ready-made answer.

What do practitioners need? Of course, it's resources! I still remember when we were in the coastal areas, Li Chen led the Fourth Army to fight against the sea tribe, and everyone thought it would be a big battle.

As a result, millions of cultivators came and directly provided resources to the sea clan.

This is the importance of publicity. All races are also dangerous, especially the dragon race, which has great destructive power.

But the problem is, as long as you treat the dragon clan as a cultivation resource, as long as you kill the dragon clan, you can gain unparalleled power and stand at the top of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of people.

Thinking about it this way, everyone will feel that the dragon clan is not that scary. If you try hard, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

Thinking of this, Li Chen turned to Le Li and said, "Le Li, take people to the city to spread the word that the monsters are attacking the city. We can use the city to pick up cultivation resources. If you are slow, you will miss out. Ziyun Immortal Mansion has already picked up a lot of resources."

After hearing this, Le Li's eyes lit up and she immediately understood Li Chen's intention.

She nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

After saying that, Le Li, along with several disciples from Ziyun Immortal Mansion, quickly left the city wall and ran towards the city.

After Le Li left, Li Chen went to the top of the city alone.

When he came near Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing was busy commanding the city guards. Seeing Li Chen coming over, he immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you? This is not the place for you, get out!"

Li Chen looked at him coldly, and without any nonsense, he slapped him in the face.

Snapped!
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Zhou Jing was slapped more than ten meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

A bright red slap mark instantly swelled up on his face, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The soldiers around were all shocked when they saw this scene.

They never imagined that this gentle-looking and handsome young man would actually dare to attack the city defender!

Zhou Jing fell to the ground, covering his swollen face, and angrily said: "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?!"

Li Chen sneered, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "If I beat you, do I need to care who you are?"

As he spoke, a terrifying purple aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly covering the entire area.

This is the imperial aura that symbolizes imperial power, majestic and inviolable.

The soldiers around felt the pressure and heard that the other party called himself "I". In the entire Tiance Dynasty, only that man dared to call himself that.

Those soldiers who were just about to attack Li Chen now knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

No one expected that the emperor of the Tiance Dynasty would appear here!

Zhou Jing was also stunned, and the anger on his face instantly turned into horror.

He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me!"

Li Chen glanced at him coldly and said calmly: "Get up, I am just visiting incognito."

He didn't say anything, but Zhou Jing knew that he was most likely going to be in trouble.

As a subject, I am not afraid of the emperor scolding me, but I am afraid of the emperor not scolding me.

I didn't know what the emperor was thinking and I was very confused.

Zhou Jing quickly got up, knelt on the ground, walked respectfully to Li Chen, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

If the beast tide caused huge losses to Qizhou City, Zhou Jing could be spared the death penalty, but he would be punished alive.

Li Chen said casually: "Someone will come to help you later, just don't make trouble."
