Chapter 291

Li Chen and Le Li arrived near the city gate of Qizhoucheng, where the gate was already tightly closed, and the City Garrison Commander Zhou Jing was organizing the City Garrison Army, intending to deal with the upcoming beast tide.

After all, this is the job of the City Garrison Army.

The scene in front of them, however, made people frown.

The City Garrison Commander of Qizhoucheng is named Zhou Jing; this guy has average ability, and usually doesn't train the City Garrison Army very diligently.

Plus, this is the central part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, there is no war, and there hasn't been a beast tide in the last ten years or so, so the pampered Zhou Jing didn't know what to do for a while when facing the beast tide.

Li Chen looked at the flustered Zhou Jing in front of him, feeling a bit displeased.

He saw Zhou Jing standing on the city wall, actually holding a book in his hand and reading it, seemingly looking at a 'strategy', and then seeing something, he shouted: "Quick! Quick! Everyone get on the city wall for me! Where are the archers? Where are the archers?

You stand according to what is written above, don't stand in the wrong position, where are the shield soldiers, you hurry up, no, it seems to be written above, you should be in other positions, move the rolling logs and stones up, hurry up..."

Under Zhou Jing's chaotic command, the City Garrison Army was in a mess.

Some soldiers ran onto the city wall holding arrow quivers, only to accidentally bump into companions who were moving rolling logs, and the arrows scattered all over the ground.

Some soldiers held shields but didn't know how to stand, standing in place at a loss.

Some soldiers even ran in the wrong direction and were knocked over by other soldiers, grimacing in pain.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing was so angry he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "You bunch of trash! You don't train usually, and now you don't even know how to stand in line?!"

But his roar didn't have any effect.

The City Garrison Army was still flustered, and the scene was in chaos.

The archers on the city wall didn't even prepare enough arrows, and some didn't even adjust their bowstrings.

Li Chen was also puzzled; this guy can also be a City Garrison Commander? How was he selected? It shouldn't have been appointed by me...

He also began to understand the core of the task the system gave him.

If Li Chen were a weaker prince now, he could help Zhou Jing complete this task of resisting the beast tide.

Zhou Jing would definitely be grateful to Li Chen and become Li Chen's subordinate or something.

But the problem is, the one who came is Li Chen, who is max-level and an emperor; where does he need Zhou Jing's help? In his eyes, Zhou Jing is an unqualified City Garrison Commander.

Even Le Li nearby looked at this scene and couldn't help whispering: "Your Majesty, this City Garrison Commander is too unreliable, right? If this continues, when the beast tide comes, I'm afraid the city gate won't be held."

Usually she definitely wouldn't dare to say it, fearing offending Zhou Jing.

Now it's different; the one beside her is the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, what can't she say?

Li Chen nodded, his tone carrying a bit of coldness: "Indeed, it seems he is pampered and has no experience in dealing with beast tides at all, and the City Garrison Army is also lax in training; now trying to embrace Buddha's feet temporarily is too late."

Hearing Li Chen say this, Le Li felt a terrifying imperial pressure rushing towards her.

Different from the Li Chen she usually sees, he might be the real emperor now.

That invisible pressure made Le Li not dare to breathe, and even her heartbeat accelerated a bit.

She knew that perhaps someone was going to be unlucky.

Even if Li Chen wants to deal with Zhou Jing, he has to wait until the beast tide passes.

Now he has to find a way to solve the beast tide problem; otherwise, this area will be devastated.

According to the normal process, Li Chen should use his appeal to invite a group of cultivators to resist the beast tide together and share the pressure of the City Garrison Army.

Everyone fights to the end together, guarding the peace of one side, and then surviving the disaster, sighing in the sunset that it's good to be alive, and the relationship between each other will be closer.

But if he does this, Li Chen feels very tired and will owe favors to others or sects.

He thought about it casually and came up with a brilliant idea, and there was a ready-made answer.

What do cultivators need? Naturally, resources!

Remember when he was in the coastal area, Li Chen originally brought the Fourth Group Army to fight the Sea Clan, and everyone thought it would be a big battle.

As a result, a million cultivators came and directly treated the Sea Clan as resources to be farmed.

This is the importance of propaganda; the Myriad Clans are also dangerous, especially the Dragon Clan, which has huge destructive power.

But the problem is, as long as you treat the Dragon Clan as cultivation resources, as long as you kill the Dragon Clan, you can obtain unparalleled power and stand at the peak of hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of people.

Thinking about it this way, everyone will feel that the Dragon Clan is actually not that scary; take a gamble, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

Thinking of this, Li Chen turned to Le Li and said: "Le Li, you take people to promote in the city, saying that the demonic beasts are attacking the city, and you can take advantage of the city to pick up cultivation resources; first come, first served, the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion has already picked up a lot."

Hearing this, Le Li's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood Li Chen's intention.

She nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go do it right away."

After speaking, Le Li took a few disciples of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, quickly left the city wall, and ran towards the city.

After Le Li left, Li Chen went to the city head alone.

When he arrived near Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing was flusteredly commanding the City Garrison Army; seeing Li Chen walk over, he immediately scolded: "Who are you? This is not a place you should come to, get out!"

Li Chen looked at him coldly, without nonsense, and directly slapped him across the face.

Slap!

A crisp slap sound rang out, and Zhou Jing was directly slapped flying more than ten meters, falling heavily to the ground.

A bright red slap print instantly swelled on his face, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The soldiers around saw this scene and were all stunned.

They never expected that this young man who looked gentle and handsome would dare to make a move on the City Garrison Commander!

Zhou Jing fell to the ground, covering his swollen face, and said angrily: "You actually dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?!"

Li Chen sneered, his tone carrying a bit of disdain: "I hit you, do I still need to care who you are?"

Saying that, a terrifying purple energy suddenly erupted from his body, instantly covering the entire area.

This is the imperial energy symbolizing imperial power, majestic and inviolable.

The soldiers around felt this pressure and heard the other party call himself 'I' (Zhen); in the entire May Tian Ce Dynasty, the only man who dared to call himself that was that man.

Those soldiers who were just about to make a move on Li Chen now knelt on the ground one after another, not even daring to raise their heads.

No one expected that the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty would appear here!

Zhou Jing was also stunned, and the anger on his face instantly turned into horror.

He knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said: "Your... Your Majesty... Your humble servant had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Chen looked at him coldly and said indifferently: "Get up, I am just visiting incognito."

He didn't say anything, but Zhou Jing knew that he was likely going to suffer.

As a subject, one is not afraid of the emperor scolding, but afraid of the emperor not scolding.

Not knowing what the emperor is thinking is very chaotic.

Zhou Jing quickly climbed up, knelt on the ground, walked respectfully to Li Chen's side, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

If the beast tide causes huge losses to Qizhoucheng, Zhou Jing's death penalty may be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.

Li Chen said casually: "Someone will come to help you later, just don't make trouble."
