Chapter 235: 149: The Way to Save Yan Yan! The Villain Suo Lun!_2

After speaking, she rode the Lion-Tiger Beast, carrying her father’s coffin, and fiercely charged out of the military camp, towards the distant dark night, towards the unknown slaughter!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

More than a thousand Daredevil Brigade members followed her silhouette, like a terrifying sword, rushing out of the camp, into the blood-colored night.

With an indescribably tragic aura, with soaring murderous intent, with a resolve of life-and-death decisiveness!

...

Yan Nai’er, or rather Yan Shuang, had left, not giving Suo Lun any chance.

There are people who, once they’ve made up their minds, simply cannot be persuaded or brought back.

Yan Shuang was such a person, and so was Suo Lun!

A quarter of an hour after her departure, Suo Lun’s body regained its movement. In fact, if Yao Xing had put his full strength into breaking the restraints on his veins, he could have recovered earlier, but he didn’t.

Leaving the basement, emerging from the Central Army building, by this time the entire camp had completely sunk into a state of despair and desolation.

An old blind man, leading a Lion-Tiger Beast, waited at the entrance for Suo Lun, who had ridden this fierce beast before.

The old blind man said, "This is the mount the young miss has given you, she wishes you success."

Then, he handed the reins over to Suo Lun.

Suo Lun took them, then went to mount the Lion-Tiger Beast.

"Roar..." The Lion-Tiger Beast’s eyes flashed hostilely, baring its teeth and roaring, refusing to let Suo Lun mount it.

The old blind man slapped it on the head and commanded, "Behave, what did your mistress tell you before?"

This fierce and powerful Lion-Tiger Beast could easily tear the blind old man to shreds, but after a slap to the head, it whimpered pitifully and reluctantly laid down its body, allowing Suo Lun to ride on its back against its will.

In front of the old blind man, this fierce beast was as docile as a little cat.

The old blind man gently stroked the Lion-Tiger Beast’s head, his face filled with boundless reluctance, then lift his face, using completely clouded and dark eyes to address Suo Lun, "Young master, I raised this Lion-Tiger Beast from a cub, please take good care of it. You must talk to it often and control its appetite – don’t let it eat just anything."

"Yes!" Suo Lun said.

"Then, off you go." The old man gave the Lion-Tiger Beast’s back a pat.

Instantly, like an arrow leaving its bow, the Lion-Tiger Beast fiercely sprinted out of the Silver Wolf Legion’s camp, into the dark wilderness.

...

Riding the Lion-Tiger Beast, galloping through the night.

All at once, Suo Lun didn’t know where to go. Should he follow the hoofprints to catch up with Yan Shuang’s army?

It’s still possible now, but in half an hour, the winds would erase the hoofprints on the sandy ground. For Yan Shuang was going to be launching surprise attacks continuously, hiding constantly, and carrying Suo Lun’s guerrilla strategy to the end. Once her traces were lost, finding her would be not so easy again.

But even if he caught up to Yan Shuang’s army now, it would be meaningless.

So, should he take the Gold Coins to Tianye City and directly hire an army to return to Tianshui City?

That’s not feasible either, as the mercenaries of Tianye City have intricate connections with Rage Wave Kingdom, which is apparent just by seeing Turing Duo treated as an honored guest.

Heading there rashly would be like giving a meat bun to a dog – it might even cost him his life.

What about another approach, to go to a neutral mercenary city and hire a large number of troops?

Still no good, the other neutral cities are too far away and, even if he could hire a large number of troops, he wouldn’t be able to bring them to Tianshui City.

Moreover, without a core army of his own, hired troops are just like loose sand. No matter how many, they’ll be defeated in battle, possibly resulting in his own downfall as well.

In Suo Lun’s grand plan to retake Tianshui City, the Silver Wolf Legion had always been the premise and core of the strategy. Without it, all plans were moot.

And now, the elite of the Silver Wolf Legion have followed Yan Shuang to battle, to either struggle for survival or to be completely annihilated amidst the encirclement of an enemy force many times their size.

If these three plans were not feasible, what then should his next move be?

In front of Suo Lun, there was a chessboard of death, an absolute dead end!

So where was the sole, living eye in this dead game?

Suo Lun continued to ride the Lion-Tiger Beast, madly galloping through the desert night, allowing the swift race to clear his mind.

In this frenzied rush, Suo Lun’s mind became more and more lucid.

Indeed, this was already a lost game, but the only living eye in this dead game... was Yan Yan.

As long as Yan Yan was saved, not only would this dead game instantly come to life, but it also could turn the situation around completely; all crises would dissolve in a moment.

It would not only save the Silver Wolf Legion, on the brink of destruction, but also provide Suo Lun’s army with an absolute leader, able to command the twenty thousand mercenaries.

Suo Lun was just a financial backer, he could not command twenty thousand mercenaries, but Yan Yan could.

Of course, Yan Yan harbored absolute hostility towards him, wishing to kill him the moment he saw him.

But this man also had one characteristic – absolute pride and righteousness, unwilling to be in debt to anyone.

If Suo Lun saved his life, then Yan Yan would owe him an enormous favor.

Besides, Yan Yan’s brother, Yan Nu, died at the hands of Suo Hanyi, so by both emotion and reason he should kill Suo Hanyi to avenge his brother.

Therefore, as long as Yan Yan was saved, all difficult problems would be solved.

But now... Silver Wolf Yan Yan was done for. Fang Qingshu said definitively that although Yan Yan couldn’t be completely considered dead, he might as well be, and not even the Dragon Temple could save him.
