Chapter 950: Su Yang: What? You Look Down on the Position of City Lord?

"In other words, they stayed on the island without my permission, on their own?"

Su Yang asked, expressionless.

Sovereign Jiazi's heart immediately began to pound with anxiety.

She had not forgotten that Su Yang had said he would toss all those people into the sea to feed the fish.

Sovereign Jiazi would not doubt Su Yang's words—after all, Su Yang had a "track record."

She knew very well that the man before her was more cold-blooded than the average man!

She would not forget the several hundred thousand civilians the island nation had lost!

She would not forget the fist she had taken during the last naval battle.

If she had not been on guard at the time, if she had still had that fox on her, she would have been done for!

"City Lord Su, could you take them along?"

Su Yang nodded calmly: "I can take them along, but you need to give me a reason!"

A reason?

Sovereign Jiazi drew a deep breath.

She truly could not find any reason.

Now, she was no longer the ruler of the island nation, but a prisoner.

She could hardly tell Su Yang to do it for her sake, could she?

But those three thousand people were the beast-tamer troops she had cultivated when she served as city lord, along with their families.

It was only because Sovereign Jiazi had served as city lord for a relatively short time that their strength had not yet grown, so she had left them in the city as the defensive force for this island.

They counted as one of Sovereign Jiazi's direct loyalists, and were the troops who trusted her the most!

When General Zao Tian ordered all civilians in the city to evacuate, they chose to stay and wait for Sovereign Jiazi's return.

They did not believe the rumors outside; they only wanted to wait for Sovereign Jiazi to come back and ask her in person!

Now the island nation's Profound Mystery Sea Giant Turtle herds had already left.

For the remaining three thousand people, the vast majority could no longer return.

Even if they did return, their identity as Sovereign Jiazi's direct troops would very likely make them targets for General Zao Tian and the others!

Su Yang paid no attention to Sovereign Jiazi's expression and simply continued: "The Xia Federation isn't something just anyone can enter, let alone refugees from a former enemy nation. I accepted your subordinates' families only because those guards of yours are useful and capable. What about those three thousand people?"

"The strongest among them is Platinum-rank!"

"How many?"

"One!"

Su Yang pointed his chopsticks at the two little maidservants beside Sovereign Jiazi: "These two little girls are more useful; they can stay!"

The two little maidservants looked at Su Yang in terror, their small frames trembling.

They did not understand Su Yang's meaning and thought it was something about them that had displeased Su Yang!

Sovereign Jiazi could not bear to watch and translated Su Yang's meaning for them; the two little maidservants hurriedly dropped to their knees and kowtowed to Su Yang.

"Tell them to get up, and tell them that if they ever dare kneel again, I'll throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"

After the two little maidservants stood up, Sovereign Jiazi had them leave.

Su Yang's meaning, Sovereign Jiazi understood: those city guards hidden in the city, and the families of those city guards, held little value in Su Yang's eyes.

They were not as useful as maidservants to attend him.

Sovereign Jiazi said softly: "If I really go to the Xia Federation, you won't imprison me, will you?"

"If I vouch for you, probably not!" Su Yang replied casually. "I should still have some face!"

He had not gone through all the trouble of luring Sovereign Jiazi back to the Xia Federation just to let her remain a vase.

Sovereign Jiazi was indeed an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

But to be honest, within the Xia Federation Territory, beauties like Sovereign Jiazi were not entirely absent.

Apart from Liu Mengyun and Xi Yao, if one looked carefully, one could always find some.

It was just that those other beauties did not possess Sovereign Jiazi's lofty status and outstanding strength!

A pretty girl, if she also possessed a striking status, a clever mind, decent learning, or formidable strength, would always earn a great many extra points.

Sovereign Jiazi drew a deep breath and asked: "What if I want to join the Xia Federation's military?"

"I can put in a word with the higher-ups; it should still be possible, but don't even think about a senior post!"

Su Yang had known it: a woman like Sovereign Jiazi would not be content to be a vase.

She was a pride of the island nation; there was always that fire burning in her heart.

"What kind of position might it be?"

"City lord. Want it?"

"City lord?"

Sovereign Jiazi stared at Su Yang blankly, as if she had not expected it would be the position of city lord.

After all, she was a King-rank powerhouse, the former ruler of a nation!

"What? You look down on the position of city lord?"

"No! That's not what I meant!"

Sovereign Jiazi suddenly remembered—Su Yang was the city lord of Mount Dajiao!

Recalling Su Yang's position, Sovereign Jiazi felt even more aggrieved inside.

In other words, the Xia Federation had sent just one city lord to attack their island nation, and that alone had crushed them?

And she herself had been captured!

After much thought, Su Yang concluded that Sovereign Jiazi was suited only to serve as city lord.

Power cannot spread far; influence is constrained, leaving her confined to one city, where she assists Shunbian Gang in guarding a region for the Huaxia Federation.

If you station half of the five thousand people she brought into that city, you won't have to worry about her not giving her all!

"I can serve as city governor!" Jiazi replied. "Can you leave those three thousand behind?"

"Then it's settled!"

Su Yang thought about the various regions of the Huaxia Federation.

A sovereign-level powerhouse like Jiazi would be best suited for a city located in a dangerous region!

"Then I leave it in your hands, Governor Su!"

Jiazi stood up and bowed to Su Yang.

Come to think of it, reality is this cruel.

A few days ago, she was a sovereign of a nation; now she is a prisoner.
