Doomsday Code

Chapter 131 Determination

Torre didn't give Chen Cheng time to speak and pushed him directly into the tent where Huidun was.

Although Moss XIII ordered that the land opened up by the Eighth Legion this time did not belong to the Governor's Office of the Western Territory, but to him, Earl Huidun.

However, there was actually no need for him to come in with the legion.

Because the two of them were originally from different factions, he had no authority over Keelung at all, and he was here purely to make up the numbers.

His main goal was to build a good relationship with Keelung, preferably the kind of comradeship they had fought together, so that he could follow Keelung and get in touch with Governor Modonik.

Although this may seem a bit scheming, most interactions between people are often based on this. However, there are very few people who can become friends at first sight and stay together forever.

Moreover, as early as when they arrived, Huidun had sent them valuable magic crystals as training resources. Jilong was naturally aware of Huidun's obvious intentions.

If he really didn't like Huidun's being too thoughtful in his relationship, then he could have simply refused Huidun's joining before leaving.

The fact that he didn't mean that he didn't care about it.

And really speaking, would it be bad for him to be close to Huidun? That's not necessarily true.

He has now become the commander of the kingdom's standing army. It can be said that his opportunities and foundation have almost come to an end.

And if he could hook up with a prince of the kingdom, even if the prince is a little down and out now, but the position of the heir to the kingdom is not yet determined, who knows if the prince will have another chance.

Not to mention that Huidun is now very enterprising and can seize the opportunity to spend a lot of money to win over himself and others at the very beginning.

Although this method is a bit naked, it has received the best response.

And this is enough to illustrate Huidun's methods.

It can be said that the two sides are linked by interests and then become friends who need each other.

Huidun was sitting at his desk, looking through the documents regarding the Eighth Legion's logistics, military supplies, and personnel deployment.

He needs to lead his soldiers to explore deeper into Keelung, and the matters in the rear can only be handed over to the strongest wise shield who is here to handle these matters.

After Huidun met Chen Cheng, he put down the document he was halfway through reviewing.

"You better give me a satisfactory explanation, or you won't be able to escape this beating."

At this time, Huidun still thought that Chen Cheng had just trespassed into the military camp. Although this problem could be serious or minor, he could not avoid the beating.

However, Chen Cheng at this moment no longer had the calmness he had outside. He sat cross-legged at the table in front of Hui Dun and said in a bitter voice:

"Oh my Lord Earl, this is not a matter of whether to punish me or not. It's a matter of whether I will die sooner or later."

Chen Cheng's words made Huidun very confused, as he didn't say he wanted to kill him.

Chen Cheng did not look at Huidun's expression, but told Huidun everything he had seen after returning to the city, and also expressed his own guesses.

After hearing Chen Cheng's words, Huidun's face turned from white to blue and then from blue to purple.

He finally understood what Chen Cheng meant by dying early or late.

If things did not develop as Chen Cheng expected, and the guy who took over the body just wanted to take this opportunity to escape, then Chen Cheng spread rumors indiscriminately, causing the people in the territory to migrate without reason, then after this series of events, he would have to die.

And if his words are unfortunately true, then under the beast tide, the entire Huidun territory and the surrounding large areas will probably become a desolate place.

Huidun clenched his fists tightly, not because he was afraid of the possible death from the coming beast tide.

But he was extremely unwilling.

He had worked so hard for so long and finally made the Huidun Territory start to improve. His great blueprint for the future had slowly taken shape under the guidance of Chen Cheng, the military strategist.

But Chen Cheng now came to tell him that his career might be over.

Even if there was no beast tide as Chen Cheng guessed, Chen Cheng died. For Huidun now, it was undoubtedly a broken spine, which directly made him paralyzed on one side.

For others, hemiplegia and death may be just a fine line apart, and they may think there is still a chance.

But only Huidun knew that this was no different from death to him.

At this time, Huidun's heart was already thinking in the best direction, which would be best if the beast tide did not come.

Even if Xiao Dun wanted to kill Chen Cheng afterwards, he would protect Chen Cheng even at the cost of losing Xiao Dun and his father's support.

The support of a marquis is still a mirage for him now, but Chen Cheng is the foundation for his rise.

It is impossible for him to abandon his foundation to cater to something that is somewhat ethereal to him now.

After Chen Cheng spoke these words to everyone, the oppressive feeling brought by his conscience in his heart was reduced by three points.

This doesn't mean that he has lost his conscience or anything, but he no longer has the suffocating feeling of having to bear it all alone.

"Although some of my words may sound hypocritical, I still have to say them."

“If, if my guess is really wrong, then when Earl Shaw really wants to deal with me, remember, you must not take any other actions.

This is not to say that I am not afraid of death or anything, but I have my own way to solve it. If you take action, then all the hard work I have put in helping you plan until today will be in vain.

Remember to think before you do anything.”

Huidun had a look of pity on his face. He wanted to say that there was no need to be afraid, and that he could help Chen Cheng solve the problem.

But after listening to Chen Cheng's words, he knew that he could not say this so irresponsibly.

He not only carries the expectations of his teacher Achilles, but also the expectations of those who are willing to support him and his family.

"Okay, don't be like that. I think my guess is 98% true. By then, all this and that will be bullshit. Let's all prepare for the end of the world."

Huidun stood up and said with a smile:

"Then let my career end at the most glorious moment of battle."

Huidun regained his former high spirits and was the first to walk out of the tent.

And Chen Cheng, who was standing behind, looked at Huidun's figure and smiled with a fatherly kindness.

In fact, in his eyes, Huidun is really like his son. After all, if he has a child, his age in the previous life and this life added together, he will be almost the same age as Huidun.

Under his guidance, Huidun's career showed signs of taking off. At the same time, the fact that he did not say those words out of anger just now showed that his character had also improved under his guidance.

As for the claim that Chen Cheng was really not afraid of death and that saying he had a way to escape was just a lie, that was not entirely true.

Although Chen Cheng has always wanted to get rid of his previous identity in this world in order to integrate into the human society of this world after his rebirth.

But the bloodline is there. Even if he drove Uncle Samlet away, Chen Cheng would never believe that Uncle Samlet had not left any tricks on him.

Perhaps once this back-up plan is triggered, it will very likely expose his identity and bring him fatal disaster, but before that, this back-up plan definitely exists.

And his coming here this time was not only to make Huidun and the others retreat, but also to use his own life to give Huidun another lesson in psychological growth, so that he could understand how he should consider the gains and losses of things in his current position.

At the same time, he was also prepared to expose Samlet's backup plan in order to help Huidun survive this disaster.

Perhaps after this incident, he will return to the days of being hunted constantly. Those who trust him, care about him, and even love him may become his enemies because of his identity.

But being able to see that they are still alive and well is more important than anything else.

Even if they curse me afterwards for hiding my identity from them.
