The sky was getting brighter, but there was still mist outside Twin Dragons Town.
The mist enveloped Twin Dragons Town. Although it seemed a bit ethereal, the troubles behind Twin Dragons Town were still a lot more.
………
In Twin Dragons Town’s Council Hall, everyone had gathered.
Shi Hao quickly showed the joint action plan document, and everyone browsed through it in succession.
After a long time, the document returned to Shi Hao’s hands again.
At this moment, everyone looked hesitant, and Shi Hao was the first to ask: “What do you all think?”
Immediately, Dian Wei angrily shouted: “That Heroic Overlord Under Heaven is too excessive. The document states besieging four paths, but we are the vanguards for him in all four paths, how is this reasonable? It’s obviously making us work bitterly and he will take the lion’s share!!!”
Pei Yuanqing nodded his head and chimed in: “It’s indeed like that, during combat, vanguards often suffer the most losses…”
Fa Zheng sighed and said: “The other plan is to abandon all those common people.”
“This!!! No…”
Dian Wei was angry. He stamped his feet and slammed on the table.
Fa Zheng added: “In the world, there are some things you learn only after abandoning them. Now, the choice is in My Lord’s hands.”
After speaking, Fa Zheng looked at Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao, respectfully waiting for a reply.
Feng Tianhao’s face was filled with anger. He stood up, walked around the hall, seemingly he had nowhere to vent his endless resentment.
Suddenly, Feng Tianhao shouted: “As I see it, let’s take this chance to wipe out both Heroic Overlord Under Heaven and Capable Monarch in one fell swoop. Like this, the world will be very peaceful, and there will also not be so many troubles. What do you think about this? Tell me.”
Dian Wei immediately chimed in: “I think it’s good!!! Let’s do it.”
Pei Yuanqing was dumbfounded and didn’t speak.
Huang Zhong, however, remained calm and hastily persuaded: “No!!! We can’t do it.”
Feng Tianhao was puzzled and asked: “Han Sheng, are you scared? What’s so bad about this? If the worst comes to the worst, we can directly summon troops from the Fire Dragon Village too. First, our troops will pretend to cooperate with Heavenly Dragon Village, and after getting rid of Capable Monarch, the troops of Fire Dragon Village will appear, attacking from both front and behind, then annex Heavenly Dragon Village. The probability of success is very high!!! I don’t believe that Capable Monarch and Heroic Overlord Under Heaven can resist us!!!”
Huang Zhong immediately said: “However, once this joint action plan takes effect, the system will severely restrict us. And for three days after this plan is completed, we cannot attack Heavenly Dragon Village. Otherwise, we’ll receive the system punishment. At that time…”
Fa Zheng added: “It’s indeed like that!!! At that time, the entire force of Twin Dragons will be destroyed.”
“Neither this nor that, then what should we do???”
“Could it be that we just work hard for that Heroic Overlord Under Heaven???”
Feng Tianhao seemed to be a little annoyed. He couldn’t control the volume of his sound, making it frightening to hear.
“Enough!!! Everyone is tired, so go back and rest first. This joint operation is scheduled to start at midnight today. Fa Zheng, go to make war preparations and assemble the troops. We will make the final decision before setting off tonight!!!”
After speaking, Shi Hao alone left first. He was also very irritated in his heart and wanted to find a place to vent his emotions.
………
Before he knew it, Shi Hao had arrived outside Su Xiao’s pavilion.
This place was full of fresh flowers and plants. Su Xiao stayed in this pavilion taking care of these flowers all day long. She was very idle.
“Eh! You came.”
Su Xiao suddenly noticed Shi Hao and invited him in.
“Come! Have a cup of tea. This is the tea I grew myself, and also made personally.”
Su Xiao brought Shi Hao a cup of fragrant tea, and the cup was also very exquisite. It was carved with white jade and had golden flower patterns. It had a type of delicate lady’s taste and it also didn’t lack artistic air. Su Xiao must have spent a lot of effort to specially customize it.
“It’s so fragrant!!! It’s good tea…”
Shi Hao took a sip, immediately closed his eyes and sunk into it, as if he was unable to extricate himself from the endless aftertaste.
He felt that that taste seemed intoxicating but not harmful, which made him reluctant to leave.
“I truly hope that everything will continue as usual!!!”
After a long time, Shi Hao opened his eyes, and it became even more difficult to choose.
If he decided not to participate in this joint action, then Twin Dragos Town would lose the common people, but Twin Dragons Town would still exist and it would still be a behemoth. In addition, he could still taste the tea made by Su Xiao and wait until the day Su Xiao’s memories would be restored, then hold a grand wedding.
But if he decided to participate in this joint action, the common people of Twin Dragons Town would still have a hope to survive, but Heavenly Dragon Village would have a chance to surpass Twin Dragons Town. Once Heroic Overlord Under Heaven took everything of Capable Monarch, Twin Dragons Town wouldn’t be able to protect itself.
And if Shi Hao didn’t have Twin Dragons Town, then his foundation would collapse.
The future of him and Su Xiao would change and become hazy again.
He suddenly had a hint of unwillingness to take risks in his heart. He was afraid of losing it all.
“I’m also just a selfish ordinary person!!!”
Shi Hao finally saw himself clearly. He had gradually lost the courage to take risks for the common people.
He wanted to be satisfied with the status quo and keep all his existing wealth, power and status.
“Perhaps, those people are just regular NPCs, they can be abandoned originally, all other lords are also like that…”
He comforted himself like this, giving himself a good reason so that he would no longer be sad and be at ease.
“Hmm!!! Yes, I can’t lose all of this…”
Shi Hao sighed in relief, secretly deciding to not take action tonight!!!”
He decided to let Capable Monarch and Heroic Overlord Under Heaven fight, and he would reap the fisherman’s benefits!!!
However, at this moment, perhaps because Shi Hao’s change in expression caused by the struggle of thoughts made Su Xiao notice something, she hastily said: “What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you? Or are you uncomfortable anywhere? If you are feeling unwell, then quickly go to find that strange young doctor. He is amazing. It seems that he can solve the root cause of any disease with a single action…”
“Huh? Strange young doctor? Could it be…”
Immediately, Shi Hao was stunned, but he also recalled the strange fellow who called himself Yuan Rang. “It should be him.” But he didn’t understand one thing, how could Su Xiao call such a fellow who seemed unreliable a genius doctor? It was truly too strange.
“This won’t do! I have to go and see with my own eyes, that fellow might just be playing tricks.”
After thinking this, Shi Hao exchanged a few words with Su Xiao, then asked that fellow’s location, bade farewell and left hastily…
