Chapter 3172 The Only Way


    Yuven responded with a faint smile and remained silent, keeping his attention fixed on the airship in the sky.


    The airship gradually approached the heights of Imperial Beast City, and Jared finally spotted the vignt soldiers standing guard on the city walls.


    “Mr. Chance, what''s going on here? Look at all the bodies on the ground! Has there been a battle?” Cloud eximed as he took in the gruesome


    sight.


    The goriest sight he had ever encountered was a sh between two sects resulting in around a hundred casualties.


    However, whaty before him now was a staggering mound of corpses—tens of thousands of lifeless bodies.


    It was a scene of unfathomable bloodshed and sheer horror.


    Upon seeing that, Quinley felt a surge of nausea, and she began to vomit.


    Jared''s brow furrowed, a grave expression washing over his face.


    He recognized that there was only one usible exnation for this grim scene—Norwal City had initiated a conflict with Imperial Beast City.


    This was the aftermath of a sh between two cities.


    "Cloud, bring the airship down immediately!” Jared shouted


    Cloud nodded and promptly directed the airship to descend toward Imperial Beast City''s central square.


    Many residents of Imperial Beast City had never seen an airship before, so they swarmed around it in curiosity.


    At the sight of that, Yuven hurried down from the city walls with Ivasha, too.


    When Jared emerged from the airship, Yuven joyfully eximed, "Mr. Chance, it''s really you! You''ve returned! This is great!


    At that moment, Jared felt like a stranger to Ivasha, as his aura appeared to have undergone a profound change.


    "What happened?” Jared asked Yuven


    “Mr. Chance, why don''t we talk about this in the pce instead?” Yuven suggested.


    He then instructed Ivasha to get someone to keep an eye on the airship.


    After they entered the pce, Vi, Aislin, Ghaylen, and the others who had learned of Jared''s return hurried over to greet him


    A short while of exchanging


    pleasantries {ater, Yuven turned to


    Jared and said, “Mr. Chance, NorwaI


    City has initiated an assault on our


    city. Although King Lucian appears


    to be testing our defenses, we have


    S ilLincurred significant losses. Leifr


    ard hisrades have alperished


    in the battle...”


    A pained expression washed over Yuven''s face.


    When Jared learned of Leifr''s demise, his brows furrowed in anger, and a fiery resolve burned in his eyes.


    "Given Imperial Beast City''s resources, can we withstand Norwal City''s assault?” he inquired


    Yuven shook his head sadly. “During Tigerus'' time as king, he caused the death of many citizens of Imperial Beast City. Some fled as well,


    diminishing our city''s strength. It''s extremely challenging for us to fend off Norwal City''s attack now, unless we have help.”


    “The real question is, who within the


    Ethereal Reajm woulde to our


    aid? Nevertheless, I''ve already asked


    Ms. Feerix to send word to the other


    cities Af they''re willing to mobilize


    theirforces, King Lucian will ~~


    undoubtedly withdraw,” he added,


    esining his strategy to-Jared.


    While the n seemed reasonable, Jared immediately recognized its inherent risks.


    If the forces from the other cities arrived but decided to unite against both Yuven and Lucian’s factions, it could result in a dire situation.


    All the kings and archons had


    chosen to maintain the status quo


    and dared not infiltrate Imperia


    Beast City and Norwal City because.


    they were too far away. Plus, the two


    cities were in a coborative oY


    rtisnship, so they would certainly


    support one another in times of


    fasion. This was precisely why the


    other cities had reservations about


    attempting to conquer both cities


    simultaneously.


    However, with Imperial Beast City and Norwal City now at odds, the other cities could seize the opportunity to join forces andunch a joint invasion.


    There was another possibility: the other cities might ally with Norwal City instead, with the intention of capturing Imperial Beast City before dividing the


    spoils amongst themselves.


    This was another potential scenario that they needed to consider and prepare for.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    While Yuven understood the pros and cons of the n, he had no other choice and no one else to turn to for help.
