Chapter 379: A Dangerous Situation
“Hachikuju, do you feel like you want to fight?”
“Haha, Xiao Nan, don’t you recognize your fourth brother anymore? Even if you forget your fourth brother, have you also forgotten the time you lost to Green Rain sword?”
After saying that, Hachikuju raised the giant axe in his hand and waved it fiercely. The Red Flame Wolf Riders behind him began to roar in agreement, knowing exactly what Hachikuju meant.
City Lord Xiao Nan’s previous sword, Green Rain, was split into two pieces by the giant axe in Hachikujus’s hand. Although Xiao Nan’s current sword was perfectly replicated to look like Green Rain by an evolver who could forge weapons, a replica is still a replica, forever a painful memory in Xiao Nan’s heart.
Although many people already knew what had happened, for Hachikuju to say it again in front of thousands of people was a bold move.
The ranking was already set between the fourth and fifth positions, there was no brotherly love between these two. Now, when Hachikuju asked Xiao Nan to call him his fourth brother, it was just a deliberate mockery.
With brothers set up like this, can there be any brotherly love left?
Xiao Nan’s face changed instantly. He couldn’t believe that Hachikuju would embarrass him in front of other warlords, his City Guard, and two thousand war riders under the city wall.
He was filled with anger. If Xiao Nan had Hachikuju’s personality, the City Guard would have already been at war between the two of them.
Unfortunately, he is not Hachikuju. He can control his emotions well, and even though there was a slight energy fluctuation, it quickly subsided.
People are different, just like how he couldn’t understand why Hachikuju would stand up for a regular second-rank revolver.
Those who prioritize their own interests would even abandon the Oath of the Eight Riders, let alone for the life of just a common second-rank revolver who is only his subordinate.
How many elemental crystals is friendship worth? Does drinking together a few times make someone a friend?
At that moment, watching the two of them facing each other in silence, Zhang Yi finally spoke up.
“Hachikuju, leading troops to besiege the city was a mistake, breaking the rules.”
Seeing Zhang Yi speak up, Hachikuju changed her expression, returning to a normal tone and looking towards him, “Brother, yes, I was impulsive in this matter, but do you know, Badar was killed on Xiao Nan’s orders, just to please those people in the Caravan Alliance.”
Hachikuju calling Zhang Yi brother was sincere, as he led them in capturing Hohhot City. Besides Zhang Yi, Hachikuju hadn’t truly respected anyone among the Eight Riders, but his words were harsh, exposing Xiao Nan’s true intentions.
“Badar was an elder who fought alongside us in capturing the capital city. It was only because of his limited talents that he was made the City Guard leader under Xiao Nan. If his awakening ability had been more outstanding, the ninth rider’s position would have belonged to Badar. And now he’s gone.”
Badar fought bravely in the capital city, he didn’t die in the hands of those terrible zombies, nor in the mouths of those mutated beasts, but tragically died at the hands of his own people.
People were hoping that Xiao Nan, the City Guard leader, would intervene when the mercenaries tried to harm Badar, but no one stepped in. If someone had delayed them, I could have saved Badar’s life.
But, no!
Not a single person!
“Who should I ask for his rules? Big brother, who should I ask for his rules?”
At this moment, a Qizilbash, taller than everyone else, spoke up, “I tried to reason with Hachikuju before, but Xiao Nan, you have gone too far with Badar, do you really want to push him to his death?”
Zhang Yi was well aware of what happened to Badar, but there were too many things to consider at the moment.
Seeing Zhang Yi silent, Xiao Nan mocked Hachikuju disdainfully, “So what if I ordered someone to kill him? I don’t need to explain much to you. Rules are rules, Hachikuju, what you need to worry about now is whether we will revoke your qualifications for the Ordos City City Master competition.”
The most powerful effect of the Oath of the Eight Riders is that when a War Chief makes a serious mistake, the majority of other War Chiefs have the authority to decide whether to remove his title.
“Do you think you’re qualified enough?”
“Would you like to have another round of sparring? My giant ax has dulled a bit from chopping mutant beasts recently, I need to sharpen my sword. Your newly made Green Rain sword looks interesting, why not give it a try?”
“Yes, I may not be qualified, but now all the other six riders are present, everyone has seen you openly violating the Oath of the Eight Riders, so it’s only right to accuse you.
“Without your title as the leader of the battle riders, what qualifications do you have to spar with me?”
Xiao Nan burst into laughter, his attitude extremely arrogant because Hachikuju’s impulsiveness had indeed committed a serious offense.
“I see no issue with City Lord Xiao Nan’s words, everyone is here now, we can take a vote.”
Su Rui, who had been silent since the Drunken Immortal Building, finally struck a harsh blow at Hachikuju at the most sinister moment, striking directly at Hachikuju’s vital point in collaboration with Xiao Nan.
Despite being on the same side as Xiao Nan in the conflict with Hachikuju, even Bara, who had been the most cheerful just now, did not speak up immediately. The battle rider vote was not a trivial matter, but Su Rui chose to speak at this critical moment, revealing his true vicious intentions.
With Su Rui leading the way, Bara also no longer hesitated, laughing loudly, “I also think that Hachikuju and Qizilbash are not suitable for the position of battle rider leader. Acting so impulsively will inevitably lead to bigger mistakes later on, which could implicate the capital city and us. It might be better to consider removing his position now.”
“I also agree, but the City Lord of Qizilbash was influenced by Hachikuju, it doesn’t need to be so serious, just need to remove Hachikuju from the position of the leader of the warhorse.”
Huang Yan, who shares the same pants with Su Rui, would not miss this rare opportunity brought by Hachikuju himself. With his deep cunning, he deliberately tries to keep Qizilbash a little longer, attempting to divide the two.
With Hachikuju and Qizilbash out of the picture, only he and Su Rui are left to fight for the position of Ordos City City Master.
The atmosphere on the city wall became extremely tense. Xiao Nan couldn’t help but smile, “Hachikuju, it seems like you don’t have much support. Four people have accused you together, and even if the remaining two votes are for you, you still can’t turn the situation around!”
The situation suddenly became very dangerous.
