Chapter 586 A Ccrime That Deserves Ten Thousand Deaths

Lu Yu’s calm reply left Zhao Yan dumbfounded. Had Lu Yu flown up from the stronghold just to change his location and sit on a chair to rest?

“Mr. Lu Yu, please don’t make fun of me. Didn’t you all come just to help us fight the beast tide?”

Lu Yu stared at Zhao Yan and replied seriously, “However, you don’t seem to want our help. You appear to believe you are strong enough to withstand the beast tide.”

!!

Zhao Yan nodded his head repeatedly. “Yes, our original preparations were definitely enough. But not all of us are here, as the strongest person in our stronghold has gone out and won’t be back for a while. That’s why we’re here to trouble you…”

Xu Yuan looked at him speechlessly. “It’s no surprise you’ve been stuck battling the beast tide at the border. I’m speechless by your att.i.tidue.”

He didn’t expect this guy’s EQ to be so low. He was asking for help, but he didn’t look like he was begging. To put it bluntly, he was still putting on his insignificant arrogance.

“Well, what I said just now probably wasn’t appropriate. But I’m hoping you’ll be able to act quickly and stop the beast tide’s rampage. Otherwise, we will suffer heavy losses.”

At that moment, Zhao Yan’s heart was already filled with panic. If he didn’t handle this crisis properly, he might be suspended from his duties!

Perhaps it might not even be as simple as getting suspended…

“Hurry up and do it. We can’t drag this on any longer, and you only need to endure for half an hour. I believe you can definitely do it!”

Zhao Yan looked at Lu Yu with a sincere expression.

Lin Shu continued, “What we expressed previously was inappropriate, but now, we hope you can help us out. We believe that you have the ability to do it!”

The two of them looked at Lu Yu nervously. Whether Lu Yu would agree to this request would determine this stronghold’s future.

Lu Yu looked at Zhao Yan and calmly asked, “If you don’t handle this crisis well, what’s your punishment?”

Zhao Yan lowered his head, looking as if he found it difficult to answer this question.

“It… it depends on the situation. If there are heavy casualties and the heavy losses were under my command, I will be dismissed and driven out of the military.”

“But, if I can remedy it now, I’ll just get a demerit, and it’ll be over!”

Once again, he looked at Lu Yu with pleading eyes. Time was pa.s.sing by, and he couldn’t risk wasting any more time. The earlier he asked Lu Yu for help, the better his situation would be.

“Hmm… What if everyone in the stronghold died because of your mistake?” Lu Yu looked at Zhao Yan and asked again.

When Zhao Yan heard this, his entire body trembled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn’t know how to answer this question.

“I’m asking you, what would it be?” w.a.n.g Meng probed.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and answered, “If that’s the case, I might have to go to the military court and be sentenced to death…”

“So, if I don’t act now, the stronghold will be littered with corpses half an hour later. No one will be spared,” Lu Yu continued.

Zhao Yan glanced at the situation in the stronghold. About a thousand soldiers were fighting against more than 3,000 ferocious beasts. Among them, it might take more than ten people to hold back one giant ferocious beast, and killing them would take even more.

The beasts were still entering the stronghold, one after another. It was impossible to hold on for half an hour. If only the fortress gates were still intact, it might be possible…

“What do you mean?” Zhao Yan looked at Lu Yu tentatively, afraid that Lu Yu would reject him.

“Since you’ll be sentenced to death if I don’t make a move, then won’t I be saving your life if I help you out?”

“Am I right?”

Lu Yu’s eyes were burning into Zhao Yan, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment before he hurriedly nodded. “That’s right, you’re my savior, as long as you help!”

“Is this your att.i.tude towards your savior?”

Zhao Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn’t.

“But… I think I have a good att.i.tude…”

He rebuked stubbornly.

Suddenly, Xu Yuan burned with anger.

“Do you have the face to say that again? We rushed here in a hurry to help you against the beast tide, but you made us sit on a bench. If your att.i.tude is fine, is it our att.i.tude that has a problem?”

These words left Zhao Yan completely speechless. His heartbeat raced, and he slowly realized that he was acting inappropriately. But, it was still difficult for him to put down his pride and apologize to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu leaned back in his seat and said in a relaxed tone, “I don’t care. All these people who died will be blamed on you. When we return, you’ll be the one who gets sentenced to death, not me.”

The word “death” jolted Zhao Yan’s heart, and he started to feel afraid.

The fear of death occupied his insides, and he was completely fl.u.s.tered.

At that moment, he didn’t have time to hesitate. The screams in the stronghold were getting increasingly intense, and he didn’t have more time to think.

Plop!

Zhao Yan kneeled in front of Lu Yu decisively, then slammed his head on the ground and shouted, ” Mr. Lu Yu, I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I shouldn’t have been so arrogant. Please give me a chance and save my life… I… I don’t want to die yet!”

At the end of his speech, his voice turned into a mournful wail.

Lu Yu looked at the person in front of him and was enraged. This guy was just afraid of death and apologized purely because of that.

He wasn’t admitting his mistake and was just apologizing out of fear of death.

Lu Yu saw no sincerity in his apology, but it was time for him to end the beast tide. After that, he would slowly settle the score with this coward!

Whoosh!

Lu Yu suddenly stood up. “I’m going to deal with this beast tide, but not because of your apology!”

“After this is over, I’ll settle the score with you!”

Because of Zhao Yan’s att.i.tude, countless people paid the price with their lives. Since that was the case, Lu Yu wouldn’t let this fellow off.

“As long as you do it, and you only have to hold on for a half-hour. When the fighter gets here, everything will be over!”

“The six of us are more than enough to put a stop to this beast tide,” Lu Yu said calmly.

“There are so many beasts. You won’t be able to kill them all in such a short time,” Lin Shu continued. “You can continue to rest after half an hour.”

Lu Yu glanced at Lin Shu and said, “I won’t let you off either; I’ll settle the score with you two later!”

Lin Shu stood rooted to the ground, looking at Lu Yu blankly, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yu looked at his teammates and said, “Go. End this tragedy as soon as possible!”

After that, Lu Yu and the others jumped down the city wall.

Lin Shu squatted beside Zhao Yan and asked, “Do you think they really have the strength to exterminate the beasts? Also, what do you mean by settling our score?”
