The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 206 Risking My Life to Accompany a Gentleman (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Reading Commitment)

Upon hearing this, the Silver Knife Squad members all turned solemn, for they were about to face a spatial-type calamity.

Spatial-type calamities are the most difficult to deal with, which also means they require taking great risks.

For a moment, all the copper-sword patrolmen looked solemn.

At this moment, Xia Tianlan, as a bronze-sword patrolman of the Golden Knife Guard branch of Huangsha City, said, "Our Huangsha branch has dispatched many iron-sword patrolmen, and they have all been wiped out. We have done our best in this mission."

Xia Tianlan's words were quite clear; she obviously did not intend to send any more people.

In other words, this mission is too similar to the previous ones, and the Silver Knife Squad can only rely on themselves.

Qin Changge was already used to this scene.

These people are just trying to make a living; they're unwilling to risk their lives. That's normal; that's what happens when you don't have faith.

Yue Chenfeng and the other members of the Silver Knife Squad left Huangsha City and headed to Huangsha Mountain.

The group remained silent on the road, each one seemingly preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Upon reaching the foot of Huangsha Mountain, Qin Hanyue finally spoke up, "Captain, how about we abandon this mission?"

"You should know that spatial calamities are unpredictable, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making them the most difficult to deal with. Although we outnumber them, we don't actually have much of a chance of winning against spatial calamities."

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "This mission shouldn't have been our responsibility. It's because this little princess was tricked that it's our turn to take action."

Upon hearing this, many members of the Silver Knife Squad nodded in agreement.

As the daughter of a prince, the young princess held a noble status, and naturally, she had no shortage of guards around her.

Although the Golden Knife Guards were meant to eliminate calamities and rescue nobles, it was clear that the Prince's manpower was more capable of rescuing the young princess.

However, this task still fell to the Golden Knife Guards, which means that there was a power struggle among them, and that some people did not want the young princess to return alive.

Moreover, the other side hopes that the young princess will return alive, which means that this task is a hot potato. Doing it well will offend people, and doing it poorly will also offend people.

Yue Chenfeng looked helplessly at his subordinates, "This task is definitely not going to be well-received by us, but we still have no choice but to do it well."

“If we complete the mission but offend people, they will have to find another reason to punish us. But if we fail to complete the mission, they will immediately have an excuse to punish us. After all, we failed to complete the mission, which led to the death of the little princess.”

Upon hearing this, the faces of many members of the Silver Knife Squad turned grim. They cursed the participants in their hearts, realizing that they had become pawns in a game, and in a dangerous one at that, where they could lose their lives at any moment.

Yue Chenfeng looked at Qin Changge and said, "This mission is probably aimed at you."

Qin Changge was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and said, "Have I offended someone already?"

Yue Chenfeng nodded and said, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. There are only a few positions in the Golden Knife Patrol, and each one is a specific person. Now that you have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, you are obviously blocking other people's way."

Qin Changge felt somewhat helpless. Sure enough, this was the consequence of being careless. He would have to be more cautious in the future.

Yue Chenfeng looked at the many members of the Silver Knife Squad present and said, "We have no choice. We can only grit our teeth and complete this mission. If we fail, we will die when we go back, and it may even implicate our families."

"But if we die while on a mission, our relatives will be descendants of heroes and righteous men."

The members of the squad fell silent, clearly having decided to dedicate themselves to this mission. Qin Changge looked at Yue Chenfeng with some surprise. It seemed that Yue Chenfeng's appointment as captain of the Silver Knife Squad was not undeserved; he truly possessed considerable skill.

At least Yue Chenfeng managed to get these copper-knife patrolmen to willingly risk their lives with just a few words, which is quite difficult.

Yue Chenfeng said, "Alright, let's make a plan now. Following conventional thinking, we need to send people in to investigate the true nature of the calamity and then take appropriate measures. However, we need to carefully consider who should go in to scout the way."

Everyone fell silent. The scouts were expendable, and even if they managed to return, they wouldn't gain much merit. It was a thankless and arduous task.

No one said a word, unwilling to take on this task.

Qin Changge said, "I have a different opinion."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Changge, who was now a rising star in the Golden Saber Guard, and his words carried considerable weight.

Yue Chenfeng looked at Qin Changge and asked, "Feel free to speak your mind if you have any opinions."

Qin Changge explained, "This calamity doesn't know we're coming, so it might be a little more relaxed the first time. If we go in to scout ahead, it will alert the calamity. By the time we go in a second time, the calamity will be prepared, and we'll face a lot of resistance."

Upon hearing this, Yue Chenfeng nodded and said, "That makes a lot of sense, but if we don't do it this way and rashly enter without knowing the inside details, we will suffer great losses."

Yue Chenfeng meant that if someone scouted ahead, at most one or two people would die; if no one scouted ahead, the entire army would likely be wiped out.

Qin Changge asked, "Is the greatest calamity inside the Divine Realm Calamity of Blue Eyes?"

Yue Chenfeng nodded and said, "The divine realm calamity of the blue-eyed is certain, because the divine king realm calamity of the green-eyed is something only the Golden Blade Patrol can handle, and it's impossible for it to fall on our heads. Although there may be false information, in reality, the divine king realm calamities of the green-eyed are very rare, and their numbers are very small, making them seldom seen within the territory of our Great Xia Dynasty."

Upon seeing this, Qin Changge said, "If it is the divine calamity of the Blue Eyes, then I have a plan."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Changge, curious about his plans.

Qin Changge explained, "The two of us, Captain, will go in. We'll go all out from the start, then not linger. We'll rescue the little princess and leave. Don't think about eliminating the calamity. What do you think?"

Qin Changge's words made many Silver Knife patrol officers and members of the Silver Knife Squad nod in agreement.

"That's a good idea."

"Yes, I also think it's a good idea."

"That's right, Brother Changge's idea is fantastic!"

This statement was met with approval from the other eight people, excluding Yue Chenfeng.

Seeing this, Yue Chenfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Of course, these guys would think it was great because they didn't have to take any risks.

However, Yue Chenfeng was specifically requested by Qin Changge to go in together.

Yue Chenfeng said, "That's fine too."

Clearly, Yue Chenfeng didn't necessarily want his brothers to go and scout ahead to their deaths. Since Qin Changge was confident, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him.
