Chapter 689 We Cannot Surrender
Kill, kill, kill...
Outside Cloud West City, the clamor of killing shakes the heavens.
The enemy keeps attacking.
At this point, everyone inside Cloud West City is very exhausted; if there were a chance, they really would like to get a good sleep and rest.
But the enemy outside constantly attacks like tidal waves, so they are unable to rest and can only desperately resist.
Hu Feifan and his son Hu Shengyi stand outside, organizing the resistance.
Seeing so many people outside, and experts hidden among them, Hu Feifan occasionally frowns.
"Young Master, where are you? Now, our Cloud West City has reached the end of its rope, only you can save Cloud West City!" Hu Feifan thought in his heart.
Hu Feifan is very worried at this time.
Several days ago, he had already sent people to find Lin Fan.
But unfortunately, so much time has passed and Lin Fan has not yet arrived?
"Could it be that something happened to the Young Master?" Hu Feifan worriedly thought again.
Now, Hu Feifan feels helpless and worried, fearing that Cloud West City would truly be destroyed.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Cloud West City would have long been destroyed, luckily Lin Fan had left many methods in Cloud West City before and even improved the Protective Array surrounding Cloud West City. If it weren't for the methods Lin Fan left, Cloud West City would have been captured long ago.
As Hu Feifan was extremely worried, someone came next to him and said, "I'm back!"
"Back?"
Hu Feifan immediately asked happily: "What about the Young Master? Did he come back with you?"
The person shook his head and said, "Old City Lord, the Young Master said to hold on at all costs for three days, no matter what. If we can hold out for three days, he will come and save us after three days."
"Three days?"
Hu Feifan's brow furrowed once more.
You should know, the situation in Cloud West City is already at its worst.
If we really hold on for three more days, even if we can manage it, the losses will be heavy.
A Deputy City Lord somewhat unhappily said, "What? The Young Master is asking us to hold out for three more days? You should know, the condition of our Cloud West City is already at its worst. Under normal circumstances, it's hard even for a day, and yet he wants us to hold out for three days? Does he not intend to give us a way to live?"
Another person also said, "It seems, the Young Master plans to abandon us!"
Many people couldn't help but feel despair.
Before, they still felt, as long as Lin Fan arrived, all their crises could be overcome.
But now...
It looks like Cloud West City can only be destroyed.
Hu Feifan again looked towards the person, asking, "Are you sure? The Young Master really wants us to hold out for three days?"
The person nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure, the Young Master definitely said so!"
"Very good!"
Hu Feifan nodded and said, "Go rest for now, this time, you risked your life to find the Young Master, which is a great achievement, rest assured, after Cloud West City gets out of the current predicament, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"Yes, Old City Lord!"
The person answered and quickly retreated.
After the person left, Hu Feifan's gaze slowly swept across the crowd and spoke, "You all heard what was just said, next, I want to hear everyone's opinions, I want to know what everyone is thinking?"
Immediately, someone spoke, "Old City Lord, I feel that the Young Master has abandoned us, we should not resist in vain, let's just open the gates and surrender!"
"Yes, open the gates and surrender, now, the enemy outside is overwhelming, we simply cannot resist."
People keep talking one after another.
But, everyone's goal is the same, all urging Hu Feifan to open the gates and surrender.
Previously, they had placed all their hopes on Lin Fan, feeling that upon his arrival there would be salvation, but now Lin Fan hasn't returned, and they still have to wait three days?
Thus, they gave up.
Hu Feifan's eyes slowly swept across the people, he faintly asked, "Is this everyone's opinion? All want to surrender?"
Someone said, "City Lord, we don't want to surrender either, but under the current circumstances, if we don't surrender, we really have no other way, unless, City Lord, do you have any other solutions?"
Hu Feifan did not respond to this person's words, instead he looked towards Hu Shengyi and asked, "What about you? What are you thinking?"
"I..."
Hu Shengyi said with difficulty, "Father, to be honest, I am very conflicted right now, I feel that we can't resist, but in our hearts, we feel that we shouldn't give up, we should continue to resist, so, I am very conflicted, I also don't know what to do!"
As Hu Shengyi spoke, a troubled expression appeared on his face.
"Hehe..."
Hu Feifan laughed and said, "I know, everyone really wants to surrender, because everyone thinks, this time Cloud West City is definitely finished, but..."
"I want to tell everyone that under the current circumstances, we cannot surrender, we should continue to persevere!"
"The Young Master wants us to resist for three days, right? Fine, then we will do our utmost to resist for three days!"
After Hu Feifan's words fell, immediately someone said, "City Lord, under our current dire circumstances, how can we possibly hold out for three days?"
Hu Feifan immediately asked, "Do you know why the Young Master wants us to hold out for three days?"
"This... I don't know!"
Most people shook their heads.
Hu Feifan continued, "Because the Young Master is testing us, he has asked us to hold out for three days to see if we still have value to use. If we can successfully resist for three days this time, the Young Master will surely regard us highly, and we can enter the core circle of the Young Master, but... If we can't withstand for three days, the Young Master will definitely give up on us!"
"Furthermore, I want to tell everyone that the enmity between Gaitian Alliance and our Cloud West City has penetrated deep into the marrow!"
"So, don't naively think that by surrendering we could save our lives."
"With the enmity between us, even if we truly surrendered, in the end, it would only be a dead end!"
"Conversely, if we desperately resist here, just until we hold out until the arrival of Young Master Lin Fan, all the troubles will be solved!"
"Of course, among everyone here, if there is anyone who does not wish to resist with me, wanting to surrender, I will absolutely not stop you."
"Alright, I have said all I wanted to say, those who want to speak, can continue speaking now!"
Hu Feifan then said nothing further.
