C18 Snake-rat Fossa

Chapter XVIII: The Snake-Rat Nest

"Didn't you say that the defenses are the hardest to break through? Why do we have to start from the inside now? " Lin Yun didn't seem to understand Xu Yan's logic.

He clearly knew that the inside of the army was the most dangerous, and also the most difficult to deal with, but he had to start from the inside. If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Yan had shown great wisdom previously, he could have rejected this plan at the very first moment.

"What do you think? With just us and without any subordinates, how do you think we should be able to stand firm in this Peace City? Support their own forces? And who will follow us? " Xu Yan was helpless. If he was given a choice, he wouldn't mind starting from the bottom.

It would be the easiest and most orderly, but under the condition of not revealing his identity, a person like him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wanting to build a power in the Peace City that was comparable to the defense army, was equivalent to dreaming.

Anyone with a little brain would find it hard to believe that this was true. Naturally, such a thing wouldn't work on Xu Yan.

"Help me investigate which one of these defense teams has the weakest backer. Let's start with this backer. If we can get him to join us as soon as possible, then things will be much easier later on." Xu Yan already had a set of plans in his heart, but at the same time, it would not be easy to implement them.

In other words, everything was difficult at the beginning. Xu Yan knew it very well. It was just that at this time, without revealing his identity, the difficulty would only be increased.

Compared to that, he, as a human being, was more willing to be a so-called prince. Unfortunately, things did not turn out as he wished, and when many forces had already started to act against him, he did not try to catch up, or even resist.

The royal family, and especially so the son of the current Emperor. This was indeed extremely respected, but at times, there was an additional helplessness and surprise that was difficult for an ordinary person to imagine.

Their lives looked so glorious, but they were much more cruel than ordinary people. They were also respected as strong people.

Why would Third Bro dare to directly take his life when he ascended the throne? [Isn't it because I don't have many talents on me that I can use? And my cultivation capability is too powerful to be ignored!]

"Someone is colluding with the Peace City?" Lin Yun's face was filled with disbelief. He never expected this kind of situation.

Whether it was this Wanfa Battalion or the Meng Battalion under it, both had very strict rules, and that meant that the powers within the Peace City could not collude with them.

However, there was actually City Guard that could ignore this prohibition and directly attach itself to those families. If it was anyone else, Lin Yun would definitely not believe it at first, who would have the guts to do so?

However, Xu Yan spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which made Lin Yun's heart unimaginable. It seemed that the main reason why the entire so called City Guard was so scary was because they did not follow the rules.

[Do I have to break the rules like this too?]

"It's just a nest of rats and snakes. I even suspect that there are connections between some powers and Barbarian Clan. This kind of thing is unavoidable. Even under strict orders, in front of the huge benefits, loyalty is nothing more than a joke." Xu Yan twitched his mouth.

If he really said it, would Commander Meng not know about this matter regarding Meng Battalion? Not to mention him, even if it was the Qin Empire Imperial Family, they would still be well aware of it.

It was inevitable, it could not be avoided, it was already too late. Normally, these commanders and generals could only turn a blind eye to things.

[How many higher-ups aren't in this situation anymore?] It was hard for ordinary people to understand the transactions in the dark, but it was impossible to erase the fact that such a thing actually existed.

"Commander Meng actually allowed us to take over the defense of the Meng Battalion on the premise that he clearly knew my identity, which is actually just to get what we want. If you want to get that, you must ally with the other factions in the city and even take them under your command. It's just that we all have an understanding. " Xu Yan explained to Lin Yun bit by bit.

This guy was indeed someone worth trusting, but he also had his own weakness.

That was too upright. Perhaps he should never have come into contact with such things. Unfortunately, Xu Yan had no other choice now. Under his command, there was no one who was truly loyal to him.

If he could get Sect Guard to come with him for this kind of experiential learning, then it would be great. That kind of power, even if it was against Commander Meng, would not be inferior.

"Then what should we do next?" Lin Yun was also confused.

Even though Xu Yan had explained everything clearly, he had analysed the specific steps in his heart for a long time and still couldn't come up with anything.

"This family, our first target is him." Xu Yan pointed casually.

The name of the enemy on the account book appeared in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was stunned, then his face changed and he exclaimed, "Enemy? That clan that was not much weaker than the Fang Clan? "Rumor has it that they have a tyrannical power backing them up. Can we even move against them?"

That voice was filled with disbelief. It was clear that this kind of clan possessing background was no different from the most difficult clan to deal with within the Peace City.

Why did Xu Yan choose such a family to take the lead?

"Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger." Xu Yan smiled.

Of course, his purpose was not limited to this.

The more powerful a family was, the less afraid you would be. If you could really do something, then it wouldn't be too hard for the backers to find out who you were.

At that time, if they were unwilling to offend him, the possibility of them giving up on this power was not small.

At that time, he had stepped in under their most desperate situation.

This might be a bit immoral, but it was the best way. In this situation, it was obviously impossible to obtain enormous benefits without some tricks. Since that was the case, then he could only do some shameful things.

Furthermore, Xu Yan had already expected such a situation. To him, it was not a difficult matter.
