Chapter 1614: Chapter 1615: Deployment of Troops

”In their eyes, there’s only money,” Su Chengyu continued. ”Hiring them to act once would absolutely be at a sky-high price. But once they take action, there’s nothing they can’t accomplish. There’s even a rumor that if they wanted the world, the world would instantly be in their hands.”

”Quite a few people in Xiyun have also died at their hands. All along, the Slayer Tower has been Xiyun’s number one wanted criminal.”

”However, no one knows the location of the Slayer Tower, no one knows the appearances of the people inside, and even less, anyone has ever seen their Building Master. Even if all countries are hunting them, it’s of no use.”

”Everyone has always especially wanted to eliminate the Slayer Tower, so it wouldn’t harm people anymore. Especially the Emperor of Beihe. His great-grandfather was killed by the Slayer Tower.”

”Today, the Emperor of Beihe also told me that someone from the Slayer Tower, a person wearing a mask, negotiated with him, saying that if he could put up more money than Dongqing, the Slayer Tower would help Beihe instead. But with his great-grandfather killed by the Slayer Tower, the Emperor of Beihe holds a deep hatred for them. How could he possibly pay them for help? Naturally, he refused outright.”

”But Dongqing actually got the Slayer Tower’s help. Their ambition is completely to take over all of Beihe.”

”Now, with the help of the Slayer Tower, Dongqing has already conquered half of Beihe’s territory. The situation in Beihe is indeed extremely critical.”

”The Slayer Tower is also cunning. Even when assisting Dongqing in battle, everyone wears white masks, dressed in black clothes, black robes, black boots, and holding longswords. The Emperor of Beihe said just watching them is terrifying.”

”Sister-in-law, even if you don’t know about the Slayer Tower, just by seeing that Dongqing, with their help, has conquered half of Beihe’s territory in just three months, you can understand how frightening they are.”

After listening to Su Chengyu, An Jing understood and involuntarily looked at Xiao Changyi: ”Husband, have you heard of this Slayer Tower?”

Xiao Changyi said, ”I’ve heard of it.”

He heard about the Slayer Tower once, in passing, from a Great General in the military camp.

”Then do you know about it?” An Jing asked again.

Xiao Changyi glanced at Su Chengyu, ”I know even less about the Slayer Tower than he does.”

Some of the things Su Chengyu just mentioned, he didn’t even know. He truly only heard the Great General mention it once, and he hasn’t heard about it again since, nor has he paid attention to it.

”Then what do you think we should do?” An Jing continued to ask. She had already expressed her attitude, which was—to accept Beihe.

Only then did Xiao Changyi say, ”Although Dongqing has always been friendly with Xiyun, we are not the same nation and cannot be completely without defenses. In that case, Chengyu, go ahead and do as you think best—send troops.”

In other words, accept Beihe and let Beihe be part of Xiyun.

Su Chengyu sighed and said, ”If it weren’t for the long-standing disputes between Dongqing and Beihe, and the Emperor of Beihe’s concern that once Dongqing fully occupied Beihe, they would mistreat Beihe’s people, the Emperor of Beihe wouldn’t have come all this way to surrender to Xiyun. But Brother Yi, I am genuinely worried about that Slayer Tower. How many troops do you think are needed to stop the Slayer Tower and Dongqing’s soldiers from continuing to invade Beihe?”

Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment before he seriously said, ”First let Qi Tengfei lead a force of two hundred thousand to go and assess the situation; if it doesn’t work, I will lead more troops over.”

Upon hearing the latter part of Xiao Changyi’s words, Su Chengyu felt completely at ease. His Brother Yi was invincible.
