Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 397: Chapter 332: We Are Just Ordinary Scouts
 

The choices made by the Marshal and most people in this world, including their actions, are actually not hard to understand.

On one hand, there is the pain and struggle without a sliver of hope, while on the other, one can pretend to know nothing and quietly enjoy the rest of their life.

Most people would probably make the same choice.

The very few who can’t accept it just silently die off with hardly a ripple to show for it.

However, understanding and accepting are entirely different.

The most important thing is—at this moment, deep in Tian Chunyan’s heart, there still lies a straw that seems fragile yet firm enough for her to grasp desperately!

“I must find that person!” The single thought consumed Tian Chunyan’s mind.

She was nearly mad with the need to know immediately whether the hope spoken of by the other was true or false.

Even the faintest glimmer would bring immense solace to her troubled heart!

But she couldn’t find the person.

Ignoring some people’s gazes, Tian Chunyan searched relentlessly through the entire military camp, and even ventured into the Inner City, yet still found no trace!

This plunged her into a profound fear.

Had her hesitation and refusal just now resulted in her being abandoned?

The anxiety and unease like none she had ever experienced were indescribable in words.

So much so that she made numerous errors during the subsequent battle operations.

Only the most perilous moment had passed with the departure of the Blood Mouth Giants, or else her performance tonight could have led to severe consequences.

In such torment, another excruciatingly long night had finally come to an end.

But as everyone yearned for the sunrise, painting the horizon and gradually illuminating the earth, seven or eight generals soaked in fresh blood, evidently just returned from the front lines, approached Tian Chunyan.

Each one was a seasoned warrior, yet each one now carried a complex look in their eyes.

Just by seeing their gazes, Tian Chunyan seemed to understand something.

“General Tian,” a female general, who was quite familiar with Tian Chunyan, saluted and spoke, “We have some matters we would like to discuss with you, General. Could we find a safer place?”

The anxiety and restlessness that had gripped Tian Chunyan’s heart began to subside substantially.

She looked at these people before her and had an inkling of what was about to happen.

She felt a hint of excitement.

The man hadn’t just sought her out but had approached many others. She wasn’t struggling alone.

“Yes!” Tian Chunyan nodded vehemently.

Indeed, as soon as they entered a room, someone couldn’t wait to ask, “General Tian, you are soon to enter the Inner City and become the Young Madam of the Wu Family. You must know more than us. We want to know…”

“It’s true,” Tian Chunyan interrupted, nodding somberly as she faced her colleagues filled with despair, sadness, and anger.

Just that one sentence was enough.

These warriors, who wouldn’t flinch even in the face of Evil Spirits and Demons, now seemed to lose all their strength, their faces turning pale.

Indeed, Zhuang Ying had found them, revealed the truth, and approached several of them together.

They had intended to confront the Marshal, but without the same status as Tian Chunyan, they were acutely aware they would be powerless against the Great Power of the Marshal if the reality proved true.

Hence, they thought to inquire with Tian Chunyan who held a special position.

Yet, when the truth became undeniable and the false lies were thoroughly exposed, it was still hard to accept.

Tian Chunyan took a deep breath, looked at her colleagues, and said gravely, “Like you, I only found out last night, but I have sought answers from the Marshal and learned the truth… So, have you also encountered a mysterious man?”

“What man?” A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Instantly, everyone, including Tian Chunyan, exhibited a dramatic change in expression!

It was the Marshal!

The next moment, a surge of Chi Yan roared in, carrying a terrifying might and forming a vast Fire Circle that enveloped everyone, filled with suffocating Suppression.

The might of the Fourth Stage was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Tian Chunyan possessed immense Talent and her power had even reached the “Great Master” level in people’s eyes, but in the presence of a true Great Power, she too had no strength to resist!

The Marshal, clad in War Armor and engulfed in Chi Yan, appeared before each person.

And his voice, filled with great anger, was involuntarily subdued.

“I wondered why, Tian Chunyan, you would suddenly be privy to insider information, and why you few would gather together. It turns out there is indeed treachery at work. Who is it? What did he tell you?”

The Marshal had felt something off the night before and reported it early to the Inner City.

But he had received no reply.

Today, seeing several generals with significant Talent and notable performances gathering around Tian Chunyan, he immediately sensed something amiss.

Indeed, someone had dared to spread the truth within the Outer City, and among these generals no less.

This was a capital offense—a crime that would undoubtedly be met with death!

There had been a time when similar information spread throughout a city, and once the Dynasty’s High-level was informed, that entire city—millions of inhabitants along with the negligent aristocrats of the Inner City—were wiped out without a trace by the formidable power of the strange, not a single soul left standing!
