Upon hearing Turing Duo’s conditions, a stir immediately went through Huangquan Ancient City.
Everyone here was an elite die-hard member of the Silver Wolf Legion; previously, their trust in Yan Nai’er was merely out of faith, and this trust stemmed more from her identity—she was the only child of Silver Wolf Yan Yan and possessed extremely high martial prowess.
Over the past month, this trust had transformed into a fervent adoration and worship.
Yan Shuang (Yan Nai’er)’s ruthlessness and decisiveness, her immense wisdom, rivalled that of Yan Yan, qualifying her to become the new Wolf King.
If not for Yuan Jie’s betrayal, his despicable surprise attack that resulted in Yan Shuang being poisoned and falling, the Silver Wolf Legion might have already claimed victory.
All members of the Silver Wolf Legion did not want Yan Nai’er to die, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives instead.
After all, she was not only the new Wolf King but also a girl—a girl so beautiful it broke their hearts.
Now, Turing Duo’s condition was astonishingly straightforward: Yan Nai’er was to marry Liu Chen and hand over Suo Lun.
Thus, many soldiers began inquiring among their officers about who Liu Chen and Suo Lun were.
Yan Nai’er’s feelings weren’t an absolute secret, having once caused an uproar in the City of Rage Wave.
And so it spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred.
This Liu Chen professed deep, unwavering love for Miss Yan Shuang, to the extent that he had even taken monastic vows for her.
Suo Lun, on the other hand, was a good-for-nothing spoiled brat, useless, and had spurned and abandoned the missy.
In an instant, everyone’s favor tilted toward Liu Chen.
Suo Lun was nothing but a bastard, a loathsome scoundrel who deserved a thousand cuts—a type of deceitful pretty boy they despised the most.
Liu Chen was immensely talented, of noble status, and loyal in love—truly a suitable match for Miss Yan Shuang.
Suddenly, many warriors of the Silver Wolf Legion were internally restless, eager to accept the proposal on behalf of Miss Yan Shuang.
She was so outstanding, so beautiful—she didn’t deserve to die here.
With a smile on her lips, Turing Duo continued, "As for the brothers of the Silver Wolf, you are the bravest and strongest army in the world and should not wither away in Huangquan Ancient City. None of you deserves to die. Once your mistress marries my brother Liu Chen, the Silver Wolf Legion will directly become the ace army of the Rage Wave Kingdom. The Silver Wolf Legion will be expanded into a ten-thousand-strong cavalry legion, and Miss Yan Shuang will become the sole commander of ten thousand knights. All the officers of this mighty cavalry legion will be born from among you."
These words, like a boulder tossed into a lake, stirred tremendous waves.
The people of the Silver Wolf Legion did not fear death, but if they could live, that would be ten thousand times better than dying.
Moreover, these conditions were so generous that even the tens of thousands of soldiers besieging them were filled with envy and resentment.
The Silver Wolf Legion, on the brink of annihilation, was incredibly about to receive such a grand favor, while those tens of thousands of soldiers could only hope to earn a mere gold coin or two.
Actually, Turing Duo had previously offered Yan Shuang even better terms: marry Liu Chen, but still reside in Tianye City and become its supreme ruler. Yan Shuang had refused at the time.
Now, Turing Duo had lowered the conditions, requesting the Silver Wolf Legion’s allegiance to the Turing Clan.
However, at this point, the Silver Wolf Legion was in a dire situation, so even these terms appeared to them as heavenly music.
Drive you to desperation first, leaving you with nothing, then give you a bun, and you’ll be grateful. Turing Duo’s methods had always been very vicious.
Turing Duo spoke again, "To save Miss Yan Shuang, to rescue the Silver Wolf, it’s simple: kill Suo Lun, and you can trade for the antidote."
"Your Excellency, there is no one by the name of Suo Lun in our Silver Wolf Legion," Fen Mo said.
Turing Duo replied, "If I mention his other name, I believe you will all be familiar: Lanling!"
Upon hearing this, Fen Mo’s expression changed.
Lanling was actually Suo Lun, the spoiled brat who had hurt Miss Yan Shuang?
Although Suo Lun, under the name Lanling, had not been with the Silver Wolf Legion for long, almost everyone had heard of him because this lucky individual had become the final test target of Miss Yan Shuang and had been allowed to stay by her side.
All members of the Silver Wolf Legion were filled with intense jealousy towards him. Who could have imagined that this Lanling was actually the scoundrel Suo Lun?
And indeed, he was currently in Huangquan Ancient City; Suo Lun had just entered the city disguised as a messenger from Heibing Mansion, and Fen Mo was not the only one who had seen him.
Turing Duo continued to instigate, "Now your Miss Yan Shuang is deeply poisoned and no longer has the strength to control her own destiny. You, her most loyal supporters, should take the initiative to protect her, to save her fate. Burst in and bring out Suo Lun’s head. Not only can Miss Yan Shuang be saved, but you will also gain a new lease on life."
With these words, hearts within Huangquan Ancient City started to stir.
If it was any other condition, like surrendering to the Tianye Allied Forces outside, they would never agree to it.
But now, by merely killing Suo Lun, the missy could be saved, they could be saved—it sounded incredibly tempting.
Suo Lun was, after all, a worthless scoundrel who had treated the missy with abandon—he deserved to die.
Thus, the Silver Wolf warriors present exchanged glances with each other before focusing their attention on Gu Yin, the second commander of a thousand in the Silver Wolf Legion.
Gu Yin, a great swordsman, thirty-three years old, with a tall and sturdily built figure, as lion-like as they come!
His feelings for Yan Nai’er were complex, akin to those of a brother yet tinged with an undertone of affection he dared not confess.
