Chapter 138: The Last First-Class Hero Medal of Xingcheng

"Good, truly heroes emerge in youth!"

"Su Liqun got lucky!"

"Interested in coming to our Xin'an City?"

"…"

City Lords Xu Kaifeng and He Luo also held Su Yang in high regard.

They knew well the importance of the intelligence Su Yang provided.

Xu Kaifeng smiled and asked, "Su Yang, would you like some wine?"

Su Liqun chuckled, "What's so good about wine? Give him some juice!"

"Yes, juice!"

Holding the juice, Su Yang quietly squeezed in among the four elders, eating quietly and modestly.

The four city lords began discussing the fierce battle they had fought that day against the Hellblood Vine.

Jian Renhao sighed and said, "What a pity—we didn't bind that plant-type beast as a pet!"

Su Liqun also nodded: "But there was no choice—if we hadn't acted quickly, once those six Platinum-rank beasts arrived, we'd have lost. That was our best chance; if we'd held back, we might have had to abandon the city entirely!"

"Maybe it's just bad luck."

"…"

Su Yang lowered his head in silence.

These four city lords did not know that the Hellblood Vine they had wanted was already in Su Yang's possession!

Then Jian Renhao spoke of Xingcheng's losses; as he spoke, he burst into tears!

Xingcheng had lost over a hundred thousand civilians and more than two thousand Beast Tamer masters.

Effectively, Xingcheng was gone.

A true man does not shed tears easily—only when his heart is broken.

Seeing this big man weep, Su Yang's heart ached too.

The other three city lords also lowered their heads in silence.

"The disaster in Xingcheng is my responsibility!" Jian Renhao choked out. "Once we've handled the bodies, I will announce that Xingcheng is officially abandoned, and I will resign from the Federation in shame!"

Su Liqun put an arm around Jian Renhao's shoulder. "Brother, this isn't entirely your fault."

Xu Kaifeng said, "Yes—if we'd faced such a bizarre plant-type beast, we couldn't have held out either."

City Lord He Luo also nodded.

He was a quiet man, not good at offering comfort.
