Facing the vast and well-defended Source Sea City, launching a direct assault would be the most foolish move. So, after a round of discussion, Ian Song and Victor Ye settled on this dirty trick to lure the defenders out.
The City Lord of Source Sea City was Sean Jiang, who possessed late Nascent Soul cultivation. With the boost from his official seal, his strength could rival early Deity Transformation.
He also had two early Nascent Soul generals under his command. If Ian Song didn’t reveal his true strength, there was no way to take them down.
“Sean Jiang, you cowardly turtle, how can you call yourself City Lord of an Earth-grade city? If you have any guts, come out and fight us fair and square!”
“Coward!”
“With a gut that small, what’s the point of being City Lord? You might as well go home and raise pigs!”
............
As time passed, the Black Tortoise Army’s insults grew harsher and more obscene.
“Sir, are we really just going to let them keep cursing us? Why not go out and teach them a lesson?”
Finally, one of the Nascent Soul generals couldn’t hold back and made the proposal to Sean Jiang.
Sean Jiang’s face was dark and gloomy. As a late Nascent Soul, he was being publicly humiliated like this. He even felt the urge to charge out and chop whoever was leading the insults into eight pieces.
But the Black Tortoise Army was famous for its ferocity. If he led a sortie, he wasn’t confident of victory.
So he waved his hand. “Ignore them. They’re just showing off with words!”
“But their insults are way too much!” the Nascent Soul general protested, unwilling to let it go.
“If we go out, we’ll be playing right into their hands!” Sean Jiang said sternly. “No one leaves the city without my orders. Otherwise, you’ll be punished by military law!”
Seeing that Sean Jiang had made up his mind, the Nascent Soul general could only shut his mouth, though he felt utterly stifled inside.
The insults continued for more than two hours.
Then Victor Ye called back the troops.
The next day.
They sent men to continue the insults, and this time, while cursing, they even loosened their belts and collectively urinated toward the city walls. Seeing this, countless Source Sea City soldiers’ eyes turned red with rage and killing intent.
