Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410 Force Onto A Dead End

Ye Liuyun didn’t expect Fan Gang to not harbor any blame towards him. Instead, Fan Gang seemed remarkably understanding, perhaps owing to the good upbringing of Qu Wanying.

"Regardless, let’s focus on rescuing people first. Who else is joining us?" Ye Liuyun inquired.

"We also have the warden’s two hundred thousand army. The Grand Commander is leading them! I’ll take you there!"

Fan Gang replied, leading Ye Liuyun toward the military camp.

Ye Liuyun also felt it necessary to meet them and collaborate to save lives. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The Grand Commander under command of the Warden of Peakstead, Wen Chernggang, initially approached Ye Liuyun with caution.

Unable to discern Ye Liuyun’s realm, he feared that Ye Liuyun might not be able to rescue the Warden of Peakstead, potentially worsening his situation.

However, when Fang Gang revealed that Ye Liuyun had tamed a Sacred Majesty-level Demon, Wen Chernggang’s attitude shifted.

"Mr. Ye, I apologize for my earlier caution. This is a critical moment, and any misstep could not only fail to rescue the Lord but also damage his reputation. I was cautious for that reason. I hope you can understand," Wen Chernggang apologized to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun understood his situation. Wen Chernggang bore a heavy responsibility at this moment, not just for the lives of the Mountain Lord’s family but also for the fate of the two hundred thousand troops.

"There’s no need to be so polite, Commander. Our goals are aligned. What concerns you also concerns me. So, before taking action, I would like to consult the warden’s opinion!" Ye Liuyun gently replied.

"But we can’t even see him now!" Wen Chernggang shook his head in frustration.

"Yes! The place where the warden is detained has a formation. As soon as someone enters, it activates, trapping the rescuer inside! Our Divine Souls are not strong enough, so we can’t sense his situation inside or establish contact with him!"

Fan Gang explained, aware of the arrangements within the mansion but lacking the ability to contact the Warden of Peakstead.

"No worries. Maybe we don’t need to go inside to contact the warden. If Commander doesn’t mind, I would like Fan Gang to take me to investigate the mansion," Ye Liuyun suggested.

"But you are currently wanted, and there are likely many spies around there. Going there might expose your identity," Wen Chernggang hesitated.

Without saying much, Ye Liuyun took out his Concealcape and vanished on the spot as he threw it over himself. However, he remained in the same spot to continue the conversation.

"How is this?"

When Wen Chernggang and Fan Gang saw this, they both looked happy.

With this, rescuing people became more hopeful.

"Good, good!" Wen Chernggang eagerly agreed, allowing Fan Gang to accompany Ye Liuyun.

"Go ahead. I’ll be following you!" Ye Liuyun told Fan Gang, who led the way out of the military camp. Afterward, Ye Liuyun changed into different attire and returned to the teahouse outside the mansion.

Fan Gang provided Ye Liuyun with a map of the mansion, including the location, mechanisms, and other details regarding the captivity of the warden’s family.

According to the information provided, Ye Liuyun quickly found the location of the Warden of Peakstead.

He found that the warden was held in a vacant room with only two ordinary guards at the entrance and not even a Divine Soul barrier.

However, they overlooked one thing: Ye Liuyun’s Hyper Hop. He could rescue the warden without entering.

But rescuing only the warden wasn’t enough. Qu Wanying was also imprisoned in the dungeon, guarded by formidable experts.

Xie Tianqi’s scheme was indeed cunning. He knew that even if someone came, they couldn’t rescue the Warden of Peakstead, and the warden wouldn’t escape on his own.

If he left, his family would be doomed.

Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul power was formidable, enabling him to communicate with the warden from a distance.

Fan Gang and the others couldn’t achieve this because they lacked a powerful expert with a strong Divine Soul.

"Warden!" Ye Liuyun greeted the warden, explained his intentions, provided a brief overview of the situation outside, and awaited his decision.

The Warden of Peakstead listened silently, and after understanding the situation, he said to Ye Liuyun, "Even if you can rescue me and my family, what about the soldiers? There’s no place for them under the empire. I don’t want them to die because of me!"

"If you die, what will happen to them?" Ye Liuyun asked in return.

"Sigh! They’ll be sent to the southern battlefield, becoming stepping stones for Xie Tianqi’s achievements. But at least some may survive!" the warden sighed.

"What if I only save your family and you? With fewer people, finding a place to hide would be relatively easier," Ye Liuyun asked again.

"If you can, please save my family! I’ll stay behind and give those soldiers an explanation!" The warden said.

"But they won’t just watch you get killed. They have lost confidence in the empire. After you die, they will rebel, and ultimately, they will die as well!" Ye Liuyun analyzed.

At this moment, the Warden of Peakstead was at a loss. Whatever choice he made seemed to lead to the same outcome.

"No matter how you choose, the result is almost the same. Both you and your troops will die! It’s just a matter of choosing a way to die for yourself and them!"

"I believe your soldiers won’t want to beg for their lives on their knees! If you lead them in resistance, at least they can die without feeling too oppressed, and they can still harbor hope before their deaths!"

Ye Liuyun said and stopped trying to persuade him.

He was only here to save people. If the Warden of Peakstead was determined to die, there was nothing he could do.

The plan to rescue people depended on his decision. If he didn’t firmly cooperate, the plan might fail.

After hearing this, the warden fell silent for a long time before slowly sighing, "I have contributed countless merits for the empire, only to be forced onto a dead-end by the empire!"

He finally figured it out. What Ye Liuyun said was right, and he had no choice.

Either die with the soldiers, only with a difference in timing or resist the empire, perhaps with a glimmer of hope for survival. Even if death was inevitable in the end, at least everyone wouldn’t die too miserably.

"So, what’s your decision?" Ye Liuyun finally confirmed with him.

The Warden of Peakstead made his decision. "Rebel! You and Wen Chernggang are in charge. Proceed with the rescue!"

"Good! We’ll take care of the rescue. You can consider where your troops will be stationed afterward!"

After getting his approval, Ye Liuyun and Fan Gang returned to the military camp together.

He conveyed the details of his communication with the Warden of Peakstead to Wen Chernggang.

After listening, Wen Chernggang bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you very much for your righteousness, Mr. Ye. You persuaded the warden and gave us a way out! Indeed, we old rough guys would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
