“So I don’t care about another infamy.”
The old man smiled and said, “Prefecture Lord Zheng, Prefecture Lord Wan is actually right. The Great Xia Prefecture’s treasury is almost empty. We really can’t continue fighting like this. We can’t build a second Longwu Guards. If we finish fighting this group of strong soldiers, the Great Xia Prefecture’s elites will be finished!”
“It’s just the Heavenly Yi God Race. It’s not like we’re going to directly destroy their God Race. Why should we keep an eye on a ten thousand-strong guard? The Prefecture Lord is in seclusion and Lord Xia Hou is in charge. He cares about money and not reputation. All the races in the world know.”
“He chose to withdraw his troops so that Heavenly Yi God Race could compensate and fill the Great Xia Prefecture’s coffers. Who could object?”
The old man smiled brightly. “The Heavenly Yi God Race will probably be glad that Lord Xia Hou is in charge and not the Prefecture Lord to continue to control the Longwu Guards. Otherwise, this ten thousand-man guard would really be finished.”
“The Prefecture Lord is famous for not lowering his head. If the Prefecture Lord withdraws at this time, it will be unbelievable. They will feel that the Great Xia Prefecture… is really finished.”
Zheng Ping wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment, he said in a muffled voice, “Is it really that serious?”
“Really. The vault is really almost empty.”
The old man sighed. “Otherwise, after fighting for so many years, why would they choose to compromise now? The Heavenly Yi God Race still dares to attack the Great Xia Prefecture. According to their previous attitude, they will not stop until they are hurt!”
“But now we really have to build up our strength.”
The old man said seriously, “The Prefecture Lord chose to enter seclusion at this time because of this. We can’t fight anymore. Not only the Longwu Guards, but the Devil Suppression Army has also issued many recruitment orders for veterans. The losses are too great, including the Devil Suppression Army. We have to stop for a while.”
“The Great Xia Prefecture looks powerful, but in fact, it’s already out of stock. It has made a name for itself over the years. It’s necessary for it to choose to recuperate now!”
“When the Great Xia Prefecture recovers, when the Prefecture Lord comes out of seclusion!”
“At that time, the Prefecture Lord will also be invincible!”
Xia Longwu said indifferently at the side, “I originally wanted to kill my way into the Heavenly Battlefield and kill a king to help me ascend to this realm! However… in order to be safe, I’ll conserve my energy and postpone this battle. In a few years, I believe the Great Xia Prefecture can recover!”
“The Prefecture Lord is wise!”
The Myriad Heavenly Saint greeted him. “With this choice, the Great Xia Prefecture has a chance!”
Xia Longwu did not buy it. He said indifferently, “Didn’t you want to resign? How about this? You can resign at the ceremony in a few days! Since Zhou Potian wants you, you can go over.”
“You jest, Prefecture Lord!”
Myriad Heavenly Saint’s expression did not change. “It was just a demonstration just now to prevent Lord Xia Hou from seeing through the clues during the ceremony and others from seeing through the truth. Zhou Potian is cunning and disdainful!”
“Ha-ha!”
Xia Longwu sneered. “These words… convey to Zhou Potian!”
He told the old man on his left.
The old man smiled and looked at Zheng Ping. He said with a smile, “Prefecture Lord Zheng, please convey these words to Prefecture Lord Zhou and Prefecture Lord Wan without missing a word!”
Zheng Ping’s face was dark, and he did not say anything.
Xia Longwu ignored them and stood up. “This matter has been decided! The Longwu Guards will quickly retreat. The Heavenly Yi God Race needs to pay the price, and I… will go into seclusion. When I come out of seclusion, I will attack the Heavenly Yi God Race!”
The few people below agreed and no one else had any objections.
Myriad Heavenly Saint smiled. Before he left, he glanced at Zheng Ping and sighed. “Brute, you’re not good enough!”
Zheng Ping’s face darkened. “Old man, there will be a lot of crying in your residence this year!”
The Myriad Heavenly Saint didn’t mind. Instead, he smiled happily. “I’ll wait. Hit, hit hard! In the past, your people from the War Academy were too weak and their punches were too light. It was as if they didn’t eat.”
“If you guys go again this year, I’ll provide you with 5,000 kilograms of blood food for free. Eat your fill and use more strength. If you defeat half of the students, I’ll give you a banner. There are too many people in the Great Xia Civilization Academy. What do you need so many people for?”
Myriad Heavenly Saint shook his head and said, “They’re just a bunch of mediocre people. I’ve long wanted to streamline the organization. If it weren’t for those old fellows stopping me, I would have only recruited a thousand people a year! Old Zheng, I’ll have to trouble you this time. It’ll be hard on you. After fighting off a thousand people, I’ll personally lead the teachers and students of the academy to deliver the pennant to you!”
Zheng Ping’s expression turned even uglier. He had never won against this old man!
The Myriad Heavenly Saint laughed heartily and slowly walked out of the hall. He sighed and said, “The war academy… has fallen! Sigh! The Martial Dragon War Academy is a little interesting. It’s a pity that your Great Xia War academy has lost a thousand people this year. I look down on you!”
With that, the Myriad Heavenly Saint disappeared.
After he left, Zheng Ping suddenly said weakly, “This old man is getting more and more difficult to deal with! Master, is the Great Xia Prefecture really going to switch from offense to defense?”
Beside him, Xia Longwu, who had just left, had appeared again.
After seeing the Myriad Heavenly Saint leave, Xia Longwu was silent for a moment before saying softly, “Not to defend, but to wait! Wait for his origin qi to recover! The Myriad Heavenly Saint waited for so many years until the Great Xia Prefecture was powerless, so… he won.”
Zheng Ping sighed again. “I’m a little afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
“Afraid … of losing the will to fight, the confidence, the morale.”
Zheng Ping turned to look at Xia Longwu with a complicated expression. “I’m afraid that after we retreat, the hearts of the people in the Great Xia Prefecture… will change!”
“What will be will be.”
Xia Longwu said indifferently, “We can’t fight for the rest of our lives. We have to return to the battlefield when the veterans are discharged! It’s necessary to recuperate. It’s better to recuperate now than when we can’t fight.”
“Old Zheng, the War Academy has suffered heavy losses over the years. It’s time to rest.”
After Xia Longwu finished speaking, he stopped speaking and looked a little bleak.
He had been so strong all his life. At this moment, he could no longer be strong.
Even though he said that he looked down on Zhu Tiandao and Zhou Potian, in reality… he was a little impressed and envious.
“At least… they died in fewer battles than my Great Xia Prefecture…”
Xia Longwu muttered to himself as bitterness appeared in his eyes. He wanted to continue fighting, but reality did not allow him to.
They were desperate!
At this moment, the Great Xia Prefecture was like a raging fire. It looked like flowers were blooming, but in fact, danger was already everywhere.
“Myriad Heavenly Saint… after all these years of fighting, I’d like to see what you can change.”
Xia Longwu muttered in his heart. He also wanted to see how far this Myriad Heavenly Saint could go.
“Great Xia Civilization Academy… I hope there won’t be any trouble at the next frontier. Teacher… can you really control it?”
Xia Longwu chuckled. Teacher. Yes, that was his mentor.
However, after all these years, he’d almost forgotten.
