Chapter 134: Bad News

Chapter 140: Bad News

Kang De looked at the crimson scroll in surprise.

Golden brilliant flames burned on the scroll and enveloped his right hand, but there was no burning or pain… There was only an extremely familiar feeling echoing.

He could not help but think of the situation that had suddenly appeared last night… He sighed at the cruelty of war and thought about what he could do other than repel the elves and guard Goethe. An inexplicable and magical feeling surged in his body. He could sense that his body had changed, but he could not say or find it.

Now, holding the crimson scroll, he felt the same strange feeling.

Therefore, he understood something.

The key to this change might be in this crimson scroll.

This was because he had previously obtained this scroll from the Holy Seal Islands. He had also come into contact with and flipped through it, but he did not understand the words on it at all, nor did he see any magical changes.

However, now, when he touched the scroll, this extraordinary item burned with resplendent golden flames.

What was going on?

Ancient scroll?

With a thought, Kang De unfolded the scroll. In an instant, a golden light flashed and illuminated the room. The obscure and ancient words in the scroll emitted a dazzling light as if they contained endless truths and profundities. They recorded the world, wrote laws, and carried unknown stories.

Kang De took a deep breath and looked over.

Then, he still did not understand anything.

“…”

What a joke.

Did it just have special light effects?

—What’s wrong with you? Be it a cheat or this thing, it doesn’t give a mission notification or explanation. Do you still want to solve the riddle?

Kang De looked around and did not see any flowers or plants. He did not see any future images, nor did he interpret any shocking skills. This scroll only shone and heated up.

Apart from that, there was no effect.

He even tried to treat those alien words as the circulation diagram of a certain cultivation technique, but it was still impossible.

At this moment, Hong San, who had covered his eyes because the light was too bright, said, “Master, it’s too bright!”

Then, Kang De heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps below. Then, someone ran up and shouted as he ran, “Mountain Chieftain, what happened?”

Kang De immediately closed the scroll. This thing was still glowing, so he simply threw it to the ground. Without his touch, the scroll immediately converged its light and became ordinary.

The few people downstairs also rushed up. They saw Kang De at a glance and saw the offering table shatter on the ground. They could not help but be shocked and ask loudly, “Who are you?”

Kang De glanced at them. They were all young people with yellow skin, black hair, and Asian appearances. However, now, he no longer felt any familiarity with this Cathayan. He already had a home.

Facing the rude question, Kang De only sneered and turned around not to look at them.

Hong San was shocked and immediately said, “Don’t be rude! Hurry up and retreat!”

Although he was already a medium-sized figure and was called by the Mountain Chieftain every day and regarded by many as a leader and important figure, Hong San… had always maintained his status.

Especially in front of Kang De.

In Glory Sand Town Town, they had interacted for a short period of time. At that time, Kang De had left a deep impression on Hong San. If he was a big shot, he did not know martial arts, but if he was a small figure, the natural aura and confidence he revealed did not seem to be fake. Before Hong San could further figure out Mr. Kang’s background, the Goode family attacked.

Then, Hong San confirmed that Kang De must be a big shot.

He didn’t know martial arts? He killed Glory Sand Town in a day and the territory almost fell apart. That night, he planted a hot mushroom in the Glory Sand Manor.

After Hong San panicked and feared, in the few days he was hiding, he reviewed Kang De’s methods and plans. After thinking carefully, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became and the more shocked he was by Master Kang’s ruthless methods.

The other party had killed and spread fear in Glory Sand Town in the day. Clearly, it was to let Viscount Samuel gather all his strength and capture them in one fell swoop. Later on, he even saw the capital temple that was built with the corpses of bandits when he had nothing to do. He was even more frightened.

Oh my god, it was true. He was definitely a descendant of a military family, and he was the most particular one.

—The work of an official was for the Emperor, but war was fought for oneself. The war needed a little ceremony.

This was probably the feeling.

Coupled with the fact that Hong San had been offering incense to Kang De every day these past few days, he could not help but think of him. He even subconsciously took out Kang De’s style when interacting with his subordinates every day. He smiled at everyone, but he was especially ruthless when fighting.

In the long run, he could not forget it. This subtle behavior deepened his reverence.

In the end, this reverence reached its peak the moment Master Kang’s malicious ghost descended into the mortal world.

In particular, those hotheads shouted at Kang De, almost scaring Hong San out of his wits.

He pulled a long face and said sternly, “Get out!”

Those young people had almost never seen the Mountain Chieftain so angry. This was even more terrifying. They looked at each other and then at Kang De before retreating with dust on their faces.

Hong San wiped his sweat and revealed a bitter expression. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Master, leave now. They must have gone to report. It won’t be long before those old brothers know the news.”

Kang De looked at him with a faint smile. “Are you afraid that I’ll be troubled by your old brothers, or are you afraid that I’ll make things difficult for them?”

Hong San smiled bitterly, “At the very least, they called me Mountain Chieftain. I can’t watch them die…”

Kang De said again, “You’re not leaving?”

Hong San replied, “I’ll send you away now. They haven’t received the news yet. I have some prestige and the guards don’t dare to stop me, but if I leave with you, things will be different… Sigh, as for how I leave, let’s talk about it later. We’ll definitely find a chance to escape.”

Kang De wanted to say something, but suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open came from below, and it was even rougher and more violent. A moment later, the sound of running came from the stairs.

If it was the guards who were worried just now, this… was a little rude.

Kang De glanced at Hong San again.

Hong San was stunned, then he was furious. Killing intent flashed across his face. A person was in a high position and had led an army into battle. After experiencing killing, his personality might be difficult to change, but his temperament would change no matter what.

This Mountain Chieftain Hong looked in the direction of the stairs with a dark expression.

Kang De saw him put his hand behind his back. His palm stretched out and turned half a circle. He was clearly circulating his strength.

Tsk tsk.

Kang De calmly took two steps back and stood against the wall. His hand was already pressed against the wall. His mental strength spread silently and slowly spread, enveloping the house. If there was a conflict next and the enemy swarmed in, he would extract the load-bearing structure of the house and directly build a grave for these people.

With his iron son not by his side, he returned to the auto-defense mode where he suspected everything and was prepared to attack at any time. Moreover, he would kill as soon as he attacked.

However, the person rushed upstairs without even looking at Kang De and shouted, “Mountain Chieftain! Mountain Chieftain! Something bad has happened!”

When Hong San saw the person, his expression softened. “Old Du, why are you so flustered?”

The person who came was a short-bearded middle-aged man, but his figure was very tall and could be called a warrior. However, his expression was very panicked. He said, “The City Lord…”

Hong San sighed. “Take your time.”

Kang De watched interestingly from the side—it was like a historical film.

Old Du stood on the spot and took a few breaths to calm himself down, but his face was still filled with panic. He said, “It’s not good, that City Lord ordered that the four gates are closed. You’re allowed to enter but not leave. There’s going to be a war!”

This time, it was Hong San’s expression that changed drastically. “What?”

“There’s no mistake!” Old Du said anxiously, “I heard the news and personally asked around. The city gates are indeed all closed and guarded by elite soldiers holding weapons. Whoever dares to barge out will be killed! The mayor’s officials have already mobilized and ordered all the shops to close. Everyone will stay at home and resources are gathered together. All the rations will be distributed uniformly…”

Hong San took two steps back.

He had already heard the most important word.

“The rations of all families will be distributed uniformly…”

He muttered this sentence again.

Collecting food and resources, ordering merchants to close their businesses and preventing hoarding… Was this a good thing?

No, this was a really bad thing!

This meant that…

Hong San muttered, “After eating the mayor’s food, we naturally have to defend the city for him…”

He said in confusion, “The elves… attacked just like that?”

Kang De’s expression also changed slightly.

This matter was really unexpected one after another.

Firstly, when he teleported back, he inexplicably ran to Hong San and was separated from his iron son. When he took the crimson scroll and was about to leave, he encountered the siege and the attack of the elves.

This was… a true war.

Hong San composed himself and said to Old Du, “Go out first!”

Old Du seemed to be very convinced by Hong San. He only looked at Kang De strangely and did not ask much before arriving downstairs. Hong San paced two steps on the spot and said to Kang De, “At this point, Master, I’m afraid I can’t leave. The City Lord has ordered to seal the city gate. The next step is to recruit civilian forces to help defend the city. I’m afraid the envoy who will invite me to the council is already on the way…”

Kang De said, “There’s still a way to leave.”

His Extraction superpower was very useful and could even be used to dig tunnels. Even if the surroundings of Hong San’s residence were monitored tightly, he could completely think of a way underground.

After telling Hong San this method, he shook his head like a rattling drum. He said, “Master, there are mages from the Earth Vein School among the people monitoring me. We’ll be discovered if we dig a tunnel.”

“I know you’re powerful, but it’s too dangerous at this moment. You’ll go against the entire city. I have a plan. Come with me to see the mayor later and reveal your identity. You’re Princess Tina’s husband. For the sake of the Tedrell family, the mayor will most likely be lenient and let you out of the city so that you won’t be trapped…”
