Chapter 174 - 174 If You Want to Do Things Well, You Have to Sharpen Your Weapons First



The elves retreated. This matter was really tempting…

Hong San was momentarily sad and happy. When he thought of the people who had died today, he felt very upset. His voice became bitter as he said softly, “Could this be Mayor Nick’s plan? He deliberately revealed it to us…”

Kang De knocked on the table. “Come back to your senses… Don’t let your emotions interfere with your judgment.”

Hong San was stunned.

Kang De said, “It’s very obvious. You’re only resentful and don’t necessarily have the courage to believe outside the city. Whether Leona is colluding with the elves is also ambiguous. How can he place such a plan on an unclear probability? If he has such a plan, why won’t he do it himself?”

When Hong San heard this, he muttered, “That’s true… Then, why did he do this?”

Kang De did not speak. He sat on the edge of the table, took his phone, replayed it, and slid the progress bar to the part where Mayor Nick’s emotions erupted.

Leona mocked him for disregarding the lives of commoners in order to get promoted and rich. Although it was this Miss Vidal who mocked him because of the prejudice and hatred in her heart, Mayor Nick instantly exploded and roared in response. He was a completely different person from his usual calm and collected appearance as if the pressure and madness in his heart had instantly been released.

Kang De thought for a moment and said softly, “Do you think he’s willing to use Valentine as a blood bait to fight to the death to defend the city for a larger strategy and hope of victory?”

Leona said indifferently, “He’s already done it whether he’s willing or not.”

“Doing it is one thing. What he thinks so is another.”

Kang De said, “Just like what he did to defend the city, although I can understand this behavior, I can’t accept it emotionally. This is the same. Although he thinks that the opportunity to surround and hunt the Twilight Group is rare and is willing to defend this city for Goethe, is he willing to let the flames of war burn in his hometown and let the familiar city suffer this sacrifice… Is he willing?”

The two of them pondered.

After a while, Leona said with a complicated expression, “What’s his goal? On the one hand, he decided to defend this city to death and disregard everything, but he deliberately did such a thing, hoping that the elves can hear the news and escape… What’s he thinking?”

Before Kang De could speak, Hong San sighed softly, “It’s just people who can’t help themselves. It’s not easy.”

Kang De said, “But this is only our guess. It’s not necessarily right… Only he knows what Mayor Nick thinks, what he plans, and if he’s hiding anything.”

Hong San said silently, “If this guess is true, it can indirectly prove that reinforcements are coming… That’s why the mayor has a dilemma.”

“I hope so…” Kang De said indifferently, “Because even if the reinforcements don’t come, we have to guard this city. Otherwise, you all understand, right? No matter what, as long as Nick is not a traitor of Goethe, we have to temporarily help him guard this city, but we have to be wary.”

“But the problem is…” Hong San said worriedly, “How can we defend?”

He really could not think of what the two of them could do.

“Just do your best,” Kang De said. “Persevere and wait… I called for help. They’re probably rushing here now. If they can arrive in time, our chances of winning will be much higher.”

When Hong San heard this, his eyes lit up. “How many people?”

Kang De thought for a moment and raised a finger. “There’s only one.”

The Cathayan was first shocked, then expectant, “That must be a peerless expert!”

Kang De shook his head. It was far from enough. His iron son’s ammunition was limited. It was easy for him to fight dozens of elf cavalry alone, but facing an elite battle group of 12,000 people, it was really too insufficient.

After all, it no longer had any heavy firepower.

Hong San was finally disappointed and could not help but ask, “Then why is the chance of winning much higher?”

Kang De revealed a proud smile, just like all the parents in the world who mentioned their successful son. He said, “Because this child is hardworking and very capable. His work efficiency is very high. I’ve fought a bloody battle and can only defend a small portion of the city wall, but after a hard night, it can temporarily increase the combat strength of an entire city defense team. As the saying goes, if you want to do things well, you have to sharpen your weapons first…”

Hong San did not understand.

However, it did not matter. Kang De said to Leona, “Speaking of which, there’s no time to lose. I have something to ask you to do. Send someone to the city hall to find Nick and ask him to send two sets of elf armor over. It’s even better to send one or two experienced veterans who are fighting the elves. In addition, ask him to send some weapons of the city defense army. I want spears and arrows, as well as weapons like spears…”

Leona snorted. “It’s quite convenient to order me around…”

She complained, but she still personally went out.

Only Hong San and Kang De were left in the room. Kang De looked at the door and frowned, “I keep feeling that Leona is getting increasingly angry. She’s much worse than before. How did she become like this in the face of a battle?”

Hong San hesitated for a moment as if he was considering whether to say it or not. In the end, he made a decision and said as if nothing had happened, “Master, but Miss Leona still maintains her original attitude towards me, the people of the Chamber of Commerce, and even Mayor Nick. She’s polite and generous, neither servile nor overbearing… You don’t know, but girls are only rigid in front of unrelated outsiders. Being like this with you means that she doesn’t treat you as an outsider…”

He did not finish, but the meaning was obvious.

Kang De was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and subconsciously revealed a proud smile.

However, in the next moment, his smile retracted and he frowned, “Wait, why are there all kinds of snorts when she has a good impression of me? Then it’s not as good as before. If she has a good impression, she should be more sensible in front of me. Moreover, it’s not like I took advantage of her. Why should she do this to me every other day?”

Hong San was stunned, then he revealed a speechless expression, “Master, just keep these words in your heart. Don’t tell Miss Leona in person. Moreover, although she said a few words, it won’t delay things. Just get someone to do what you said, but she clearly wants to personally arrange and ask. Moreover, didn’t she give many things without hesitation earlier? You shouldn’t be too…”

Kang De waved his hand and said, “I understand, I understand. I’m not a blockhead.”
