I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Welcoming guests.

The two words came out of Shen Tian's mouth lightly.

But to Qin Zhenshan and Chi Xiao, it was like a thunderclap from the heavens.

Qin Zhenshan knows Shen Tian too well.

From Jiangcheng to Fengcheng, when has this young head of the guards ever reasoned with the enemy?

Whether it's a strange beast or a traitor, in Shen Tian's dictionary, only the dead are good people.

Shaking hands and making peace?

Absolutely not.

Qin Zhenshan and Chi Xiao exchanged a glance.

They both saw an irrepressible excitement in each other's eyes.

I felt so frustrated when we confronted them just now.

They were actually a little apprehensive when facing a powerful enemy.

Only after seeing Shen Tian return did they regain their confidence.

Welcoming guests?

They are welcoming the King of Hell, who will bring death to them, and inviting him to a feast that will result in beheading!

Qin Zhenshan remained silent.

He simply raised his right arm slightly and made a very subtle tactical gesture in mid-air.

Swish.

The three thousand soldiers of Jiangcheng Pojun Division were like a sophisticated war machine.

No one raised any questions.

No one whispered to each other.

Everyone took a half step back in unison.

A rough, large hand simultaneously pressed against the hilt of the battle sword at his waist.

With a flick of the thumb.

The latch popped open.

Three thousand swords were simultaneously drawn half an inch from their sheaths.

A chilling murderous aura quietly permeated the wilderness, only to be concealed by the swirling sandstorm.

Lin Hai stood on the opposite side, taking in everything.

But he paid no attention to the petty actions of those lower-ranking soldiers.

In his view, these crude brutes were nothing more than resentful men.

The outcome is decided.

Even their superior, Shen Tian, ​​bowed his head and admitted defeat. No matter how much the subordinates gritted their teeth, they couldn't cause any trouble.

Lin Hai looked at Shen Tian, ​​his wrinkles crinkling together with a smug smile.

"it is good."

"very good."

Lin Hai stroked his beard, his tone revealing undisguised admiration.

"Shen Qinwei is indeed a smart man."

"Those who understand the times are wise."

"I originally thought that since you were so young and held such a high position, you would inevitably be a bit arrogant and wouldn't listen to the good advice of your elders."

"Now it seems I was overthinking it."

Lin Hai put his hands behind his back, took two slow steps forward, and adopted a posture of an elder giving advice.

"Young people, those who can bend and stretch are the ones who can achieve great things."

"By giving up this wasteland today, you have gained the friendship of the Purple Spirit Clan, and even more so, a favor from me, Lin Hai."

"From now on, in this Heavenly Fortune Prefecture, and even throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom."

"As long as I, Lin Hai, am still alive, your future is absolutely limitless."

"The future is bright, Guard Shen."

Lin Hai spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he could already see Shen Tian being grateful to him.

Shen Tian ignored him.

He didn't even give Lin Hai a second glance.

Shen Tian turned around and walked towards the Po Jun Division's camp.

"Rest where you are."

"wait."

Shen Tian uttered two words and sat down directly on a broken rock.

Chu Feng, Zhou Xuan, Qin Zhenshan, and Chi Xiao immediately gathered around.

Several people surrounded Shen Tian, ​​lowering their voices.

Lin Hai, who was not far away, saw this scene and sneered.

Thinking that Shen Tian was trying to calm his subordinates down, they didn't bother to pay attention and closed their eyes to rest with the two Zi Ling clan members.

"Shen Qinwei".

Qin Zhenshan lowered his voice, his tone revealing an undisguised murderous intent. He still wanted to confirm Shen Tian's thoughts.

"Are we really going to let these purple-skinned monsters set up camp on our doorstep?"

"These otherworldly demons are ruthless and devour people without spitting out the bones. If we let 100,000 of them in, Jiangcheng will never have a peaceful day again!"

Chi Xiao clenched his fists beside him.

"Damn it."

Shen Tian looked at the two of them, his eyes eerily calm.

"Who said I was going to let them station themselves here?"

Qin Zhenshan was taken aback.

"So you just said you were welcoming guests..."

Zhou Xuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Old Qin, have you rusted your brain from killing so many monsters?"

"Don't you understand what Guard Shen means?"

"When guests arrive, just slaughter them."

Zhou Xuan always had a smiling, amiable demeanor, and he would say nice things to everyone he met.

But at this moment, the inspector of Tianyun Prefecture had a look of utter disgust in his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Hai not far away, then spat hard on the ground.

"The peacemakers?"

"That's utter bullshit!"

Zhou Xuan lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.

"Although I, Zhou Xuan, am greedy for money and afraid of death, I am still a human being!"

"What are those purple-skinned monsters?"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

"Back then, when one of the garrison lines of Tianyun Prefecture was breached, the Ziling Clan took advantage of the chaos, using their mental power to control two thousand of their own men, turning them into their henchmen!"

"They even turned on each other!"

"Those bastards."

"There are actually people who want to coexist peacefully with them now?"

Zhou Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes even turned red.

Chu Feng, who was listening nearby, was dumbfounded.

This was the first time he had ever seen Zhou Xuan act like such a desperate person.

Shen Tian looked at Zhou Xuan, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

This is the true spirit that humanity should possess.

Shen Tian withdrew his gaze and gently tapped his fingers on his knee.

"Lin Hai was able to swagger here with the Purple Spirit Clan."

"Do you think the Lord of the Manor wouldn't know?"

Upon hearing this, the group of people were all stunned.

Zhou Xuan reacted the fastest, his expression changing instantly.

"Your Excellency, do you mean...?"

"From Tianyun City to Jiangcheng, it's a distance of several thousand kilometers."

Shen Tian's voice was cold and his reasoning clear.

"A seventh-rank weapon forger, accompanied by two extremely dangerous alien envoys, traveled unimpeded."

"Without the tacit approval of the highest levels of Tianyun Prefecture, they wouldn't even be able to leave the city gates of Tianyun City."

Qin Zhenshan gasped.

"Is the Lord of the Prefecture... also a proponent of peace?"

"No."

Shen Tian shook his head.

"If Lu Changming wanted to negotiate, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until today?"

"This is a test."

"It's also a test."

Shen Tian raised his head and looked towards the distant north, in the direction of Tianyun City.

"He gave me the position of head of the personal guard, and he gave me military power in Jiangcheng and Fengcheng."

"But he wanted to see if I was truly qualified to hold this position."

"Faced with pressure from the pro-peace faction, the suppression of his status as a seventh-rank weapon forger, and the threat from foreign races."

"He wanted to see how I would handle this."

"How would I choose when faced with a behemoth that I can't afford to mess with?"

"Should we compromise and back down, or should we ask them to go back?"

"If we concede, it means the Lord of the Manor really misjudged us."

"What the Lord of the Manor probably wants to see is how I will invite them back."

Shen Tian stood up and dusted himself off.

"The Lord of the Manor is testing me."

Zhou Xuan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, this seventeen-year-old boy not only kills beasts without blinking an eye, but also has such a profound mind.

He saw through the lord's intentions at a glance.

Is this what it means to be a born commander?

"So what do we do now?"

Chu Feng swallowed hard and asked nervously.

Shen Tian turned his head and looked towards the end of the wilderness.

His eyes gleamed with undisguised brutality.

"How do I do it?"

"Didn't Lin Hai want land?"

"See if he's capable of taking it."
