Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Ye Wudi Must Die!

Xiao Zhan said, "It’s like this, we encountered an attack on our way back, by Huang Yuan’s people. We hid in the Demon Beast Forest, luckily fought our way out, contacted Director Qin and others at the first opportunity, and then returned together to Northern Town. Now Northern Town is also under control; Huang Yuan has launched a military coup, and we fear for my uncle’s safety!"

Having heard Xiao Zhan’s words, Zhang Wei’s face instantly scrunched up.

"Are you serious? Why haven’t I received any news at all?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "Huang Yuan was well-prepared, Northern Town was almost taken without bloodshed. Housekeeper He is dead, and Housekeeper Zhou has betrayed us. Your front line was exactly at a burst of the Demon Beast tide, so it’s normal for you to be unaware."

Zhang Wei hung his head low, his eyes grew terribly gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly, "This Huang Yuan, to commit such an act, to betray Northern Town, how dare he! And right under my watch, yet I’ve detected nothing!!"

Such a significant turn of events, and he, a Commander, had no clue whatsoever and had to rely on Xiao Zhan, who narrowly escaped death, to inform him of this.

Zhang Wei fiercely slapped his own face, instantly turning it red and swollen.

This is simply a dereliction of duty!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan quickly held him back.

Zhang Wei raised his head to look at Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, his eyes full of remorse, "Luckily you two are alright, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Suddenly, he thought of something, "Northern Town is already under Huang Yuan’s control, but he didn’t make things difficult for you and even let you go to the front line; does he feel so untouchable?"

Puzzled, his eyes flashed sharply, "No, he’s not untouchable, he wants to cover the sky with one hand."

"Cover the sky with one hand? What does that mean?"

Zhang Wei explained, "With Northern Town under control, your every move would definitely be monitored. Yet, you were able to safely arrive here and meet with me, which only means one thing. Huang Yuan is overly confident and not afraid of you at all. Or rather, he’s not afraid of this affair getting revealed, even if the entire Federation comes to know."

This line of thought aligned exactly with Lei Hong and their speculations.

Lei Hong also said, "We guessed the same point, which is why we came to the front line. Now, the only way to resolve Huang Yuan’s threat is for Ye Wudi to return from the front. Only he can retake control of Northern City and quell this rebellion."

Zhang Wei nodded, yet his expression remained grave, "But the key issue now is, can General Ye return?"

"What do you mean by...?"

"That’s exactly what I mean," Zhang Wei gravely said, "Since Huang Yuan dares to initiate a coup and let you in, it indicates he fears nothing. The only critical point to break the situation lies in Ye Wudi; we want him back, and naturally, Huang Yuan does not."

"What is the situation with General Ye now?" Lei Hong asked anxiously.

Zhang Wei immediately opened the map, "Two hours ago, General Ye had reached Snow Demon Valley, he might already be fighting the Snow Demon King right now."

"Can he win?" Lei Hong asked further.

Zhang Wei shook his head, "Hard to say, the Snow Demon King is tough to deal with, and the Northern Snow Domain is its home turf. However, this time the elite troops of Northern Army are also involved, and the Snow Demon King has just broken its seal; its strength has greatly weakened. Now is its weakest moment, it’s uncertain who will win or lose!"

"It’s not uncertain; uncle will definitely lose! No, he might actually die!" At this moment, a silent Xiao Zhan spoke.

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Xiao Zhan was so certain in his conclusion.

But just after one or two seconds, they understood.

Lei Hong nodded, "That’s right, if Huang Yuan wants to blatantly control Northern City, then General Ye must die! Because as long as he is dead, there will be no doubt about who actually controls Northern City."

"Once Northern City falls completely into Huang Yuan’s hands, the Federation will definitely not use a lot of manpower and resources to punish him just because of a dead person. Furthermore, Huang Yuan is just staging a mutiny, not betraying the country, and he still needs to deal with the Demon Beasts. So, the most likely outcome is that the Federation Government will tacitly acknowledge Huang Yuan as the new authority of Northern Town."

Xiao Zhan said, "Which means right now, we must ensure my uncle stays alive!"

After speaking, he looked at the communication device next to him, "Can we contact my uncle now?"

Zhang Wei shook his head, "No, the Northern Snow Domain is a Deserted Domain, there’s no signal at all. Their last message was also sent before entering Snow Demon Valley."

Hearing this, everyone’s heart sank.

"I will lead the troops to support him, that’s the only way to ensure General Ye’s survival rate," said Zhang Wei.

"Then we will go with you!" Xiao Zhan stated.

Going together, the chances of survival are greater.

Everyone nodded in agreement, ready to depart.

But at this moment, a soldier outside the door delivered an order, "Commander, the Acting General has ordered you to prepare the defensive lines. He is now leading the First Legion to support General Ye in Snow Demon Valley!"

Upon hearing this command, everyone was taken aback.

After a moment of silence.

Lei Hong said, "It seems Huang Yuan is also unwilling to wait; he knows the importance of Ye Wudi, so under the guise of support, he aims to take Ye Wudi down directly!"

Zhang Wei said, "Heading there now, regardless of whatever situation General Ye is facing, Huang Yuan will have the absolute upper hand."

"What do we do now? Do we go or not?" asked Lei Hong.

Zhang Wei frowned deeply, his face almost contorting, seemingly struggling with the decision.

Next to him, Qin Wanfeng urgently said, "It’s such a critical moment, what are you hesitating for? Are you afraid of violating military orders?"

"It’s not about fearing the violation of military orders, but rather I have to consider the entirety of Northern City," Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Think about it, if we forcibly depart now, what consequences will arise? Won’t it lead to us breaking with Huang Yuan? Once we do, it means war!"

"The Second Legion itself is weaker than the First Legion, and with Huang Yuan already well-prepared, we are bound to lose!"

"If we lose, General Ye will still die, so what’s the point in us forcibly departing?"

"Moreover, it’s now the time when Demon Beasts are frequently active; a surge could happen at any moment. If we plunge into internal strife, who will stand against the Demon Beasts when they attack? And what about the people of Northern City?"

Zhang Wei’s words carried significant weight.

Huang Yuan is now at a point where he’s like a cornered dog, desperate enough to do anything.

But Zhang Wei can’t, he not only has to consider Ye Wudi, but more importantly, he must consider the entire Northern City!
