Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 630: First Encounter with Dragon Front

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang’s body trembled violently as an indescribable fervor surged through his veins!

Chen Anhun’s words were fiery, at least making Lin Kuang feel so.

Indeed. We will be the ones to protect the glory and heritage of this ancient eastern nation. We will carry it forward, for this country, for our motherland!

The blood of Yan Huang was not just boiling in Lin Kuang’s veins; it was surging in the nine other members of Dragon Front as well.

Looking at Britney, Chen Anhun asked again, "Britney, when will the Blood Clan make their move?"

"I’m not sure," Britney said earnestly. "It could be as soon as a day or two, or as long as three to five days. But they will definitely make a move within that time."

Hearing this, Chen Anhun nodded. "I understand. I believe you, because I have an ability that lets me know if you’re telling the truth. Still, I have one question. As a member of the Blood Clan, why are you helping us?"

As he spoke, he watched Britney calmly, his eyes betraying a hint of confusion.

Hearing this, Britney looked slightly stunned, clearly not expecting him to possess such an ability.

"Hah," she exhaled. "It’s actually quite simple. If you understood the Blood Clan and our Tuobingduo Clan, you would know that while we are of the Blood Clan, we Tuobingduo revere nature. We dislike conflict, abhor fighting, and hate being ruled.

"However, regardless of whether the Secret Alliance or the Demon Banquet Alliance obtains Cain’s Left Hand, the Holy War will erupt. No matter who wins, a new king will emerge to rule the entire Blood Clan. When that happens, our Tuobingduo Clan will be subjugated. Our people, with their handsome men and beautiful women, might even become mere playthings for other clans!

"That is something I refuse to witness. If that’s the case, why shouldn’t the Tuobingduo Clan resist? Why should we willingly submit to being ruled? The answer is no, we are not willing! So, I want to sabotage their plans and prevent either side from obtaining Cain’s Left Hand," Britney said, her voice filled with passion, her gorgeous face flushing with emotion.

After she spoke, everyone fell silent, gazing quietly at the courageous woman before them.

"If that’s the case, then if we get Cain’s Left Hand, won’t your Holy War continue anyway? It erupts every century, which sounds even worse for you. So why not just let one of the alliances obtain the hand? That way, the Holy War would finally end," Chen Anhun asked, looking at Britney again.

"It’s not the same," Britney said very seriously, looking back at Chen Anhun. "The Holy War erupts every hundred years, and members from every clan die, weakening the Blood Clan’s overall power. I feel this creates a kind of balance.

"With the Holy War in place, the various clans don’t openly slaughter one another. Even if they make a move, it’s not out in the open. If the entire Blood Clan were unified under one ruler, internal strife would be inevitable. As I said before, the Tuobingduo are not suited for combat. And our clan is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Given the depravity of certain other clans, our people would surely be defiled. So, in my eyes, the existence of the Holy War is far better than the entire Blood Clan being unified."

Hearing this, Chen Anhun nodded. "Alright, I understand. One last question: if Cain’s Left Hand is nearby, can you sense it?"

"Yes," Britney said, her tone grave. "As the Saintess of the Tuobingduo Clan, I can definitely sense Cain’s Left Hand. Of course, it has to be within a certain effective range, though I’m not sure how large that is. Also, the stronger a member of the Blood Clan is, the greater their detection range."

At this point, she and Lin Kuang’s group were in the same boat, since she did not want either alliance to get the artifact.

"Alright. In that case, get ready. We’re heading to Pegasus Mountain tomorrow to search for Cain’s Left Hand," Chen Anhun said, looking at Britney again.

"Okay," Britney replied.

Lin Kuang, who was sitting beside Britney, asked in confusion, "Vice-Captain Chen, if that’s the plan, why not go sooner? Why wait until tomorrow?"

"Because we’re waiting for someone," Chen Anhun said with a smile. "Also, Commander Yang is still evacuating the tourists from Pegasus Mountain to lock the area down, and that takes time. Besides, one day won’t make a difference. It’s not like Cain’s Left Hand will be easy to find."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang could only nod. "Oh, so that’s why. I get it."

"Good, that’s settled then," Chen Anhun said with a smile. "Lin Kuang, go back and prepare. Wait for my call."

Lin Kuang nodded again. "Alright, Vice-Captain Chen. Britney and I will take our leave then."

"Go on," Chen Anhun said with a wave.

Lin Kuang acknowledged him and left with Britney.

After Lin Kuang and Britney had gone, a member of Dragon Front asked, "Vice-Captain, is she really okay?"

"No problem," Chen Anhun said with a smile. "Everything Britney said was true. We have nothing to worry about."

Hearing Chen Anhun’s confirmation, the Dragon Front members finally relaxed, their doubts about Britney completely dispelled.

Meanwhile, Lin Kuang led Britney back to the car.

It’s a good thing we aren’t going today, Lin Kuang thought. It’s Guo’er’s birthday. If I missed it, that girl would definitely pick a fight with me.

"What are you thinking about?" Britney asked.

"Ah, nothing," Lin Kuang said with a laugh. "Just that today is Guo’er’s birthday. It’s a good thing we’re not going to Pegasus Mountain today."

"What? It’s Guo’er’s birthday?" Britney couldn’t help but exclaim. "I haven’t prepared a gift! Quick, take me to a mall! I need to buy her something!" She was the newest "sister" in their group; how could she not give a gift for Lin Guo’er’s birthday? It was an absolute must.

"Uh, alright. But aren’t the malls closed by now? Never mind, we’ll figure it out once we’re on the road," Lin Kuang said, starting the car and driving away from the military base.

"Hey, what should I get for Guo’er?" Britney asked with a frown, completely stumped.

"It doesn’t really matter," Lin Kuang laughed. "It’s the thought that counts."

"Oh, right. I’ll just browse at the mall later," Britney said. Then, she asked with a smile, "By the way, what did you get her?"

Hearing this, Lin Kuang froze. "Shoot, I would have completely forgotten if you hadn’t reminded me. I still need to get this pendant ready!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled the intricate pendant from his clothes.
