"City Lord, Zhao family has deep roots in the city. They have hundreds of Life and Death Kings, and Iron Water King's nephew is already a commander. Rumor has it that he's breaking through to the seventh layer. Moreover, Zhao family has a close relationship with many powerful families of other planets. A few years ago, several titled monarchs visited Zhao family as guests. Their relationship seems to be not ordinary. You killing Iron Water King will bring you a lot of trouble." Iron Water King was surnamed Zhao, and he was the patriarch of Zhao family. Rose King felt the need to warn Ye Chen, lest he become too passive.
"Trouble?"
Ye Chen shook his head indifferently. Without reaching his realm, one simply couldn't understand the gap between a three star purple gold commander and an ordinary King. Take Iron Water King as an example. Ye Chen was at the fifth layer while his opponent was at the sixth layer. However, Ye Chen's battle strength was at least a thousand times higher than his. His opponent's martial skills were probably hovering between the first and second layer, while Ye Chen already had three peak third layer sword arts.
If Ye Chen wanted to kill, he could completely annihilate the entire Zhao family in a short period of time.
It was only a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
As for titled monarchs, they were indeed not a small threat. However, for Ye Chen, they were merely a threat. He didn't believe that Zhao family could invite an eighth layer Life and Death Monarch. If they could invite such a Monarch, they could completely protect Sparkle City, and the current situation wouldn't have happened. Not every seventh layer Life and Death Monarch had the strength of Snow Air Emperor. The majority of them were ordinary monarchs, equivalent to low level or mid level Battle Emperors.
It was true that the Rose King did not know how strong a three-star purple gold rank commander was. The difference between them was too big, so big that it could not be accurately estimated. It was just like how a newborn baby would not know how strong an adult was. In their eyes, all adults were very strong.
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't seem to care, Rose King felt somewhat relieved. Since he didn't care, he must have something to rely on.
"City Lord, you've just arrived, so the city guards and Sparkle Army certainly don't know you. I feel that we should gather the middle and high level officers of the two armies in a short period of time."
The Rose King suggested.
Ye Chen nodded. There were two large armies in Sparkle City. One was the city guard, and the other was the Sparkle Army.
The city guards were responsible for patrolling the main city, maintaining the order and prosperity of the main city. There were a million of them, consisting of Life and Death Realm warriors, Sea of Souls Realm warriors, and Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Astral Reaching Realm warriors were the most common soldiers, while Sea of Souls Realm warriors were the lowest level military officers, such as team leaders, squad leaders, and team leaders. Life and Death Realm warriors were the middle and high level military officers, such as team leaders, captains, captains, and commanders.
The Spark Army was responsible for patrolling the entire Flame Flower City. There were more than ten million of them, and they were also composed of Life and Death Realm warriors, Sea of Souls Realm warriors, and Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
The City Guard Branch Captains were in charge of twenty soldiers, the Squad Captains were in charge of one hundred soldiers, the Platoon Captains were in charge of five hundred soldiers, the Senior Captains were in charge of two thousand soldiers, the Branch Captains were in charge of ten thousand soldiers, the Colonels were in charge of fifty thousand soldiers, and the Major Captains were in charge of the entire City Guard.
The Sparkle Army had ten commanders, one of whom was the overall commander. Each commander was in charge of a region.
Of course, the city guards weren't limited to the main city guards. There were also city guards from ordinary cities within the borders. However, there was no need to summon these city guards for the time being.
…
In a large manor on the west side of Flame Flower City, the upper echelons of the Zhao family were sitting in the meeting hall. An old man sat in the main seat.
"Everyone, I think you already know the reason for summoning you here. Right now, what we need to consider is how to stabilize the Zhao family's position."
The old man was the previous patriarch of the Zhao family, Iron Leg King, and Iron Water King was his grandson.
"Old patriarch, this new city master might not necessarily want to attack our Zhao family, right? Aren't we worrying a bit groundless?" The one speaking was Iron Leg King's great-grandson, Zhao Fu. In the cosmos, apart from the first three generations, there was no such thing as intimacy. After all, Life and Death Kings could live for a hundred thousand years. Even if it was one generation per thousand years, there should be a hundred generations. In terms of seniority, they could be considered dead, but there was no need. Zhao Fu directly addressed Iron Leg King as old patriarch, and not great ancestor.
"Patriarch has been killed. Do you think this new city master won't attack our Zhao family?" The middle-aged man beside Zhao Fu coldly snorted.
Zhao Fu shook his head, "Patriarch has been acting city master for dozens of years. He can't let go of his identity. As far as I'm concerned, he brought this upon himself. To be able to assume the position of city master of a third grade life planet is not something our Zhao family can contend with. If we can't keep our identity straight, the new city master will naturally be dissatisfied. Therefore, I think Zhao family has to endure. We can't let the new city master think that our Zhao family is a scourge. Otherwise, our Zhao family will truly be finished."
Iron Leg King nodded. Zhao Fu was right. The city master of a main city was indeed not something their Zhao family could contend with. Although their Zhao family had a good relationship with many powerful families, and some of these families had titled monarchs, interfering with Flame Flower City with external forces was a bad idea. The new city master was not a soft persimmon. To be able to become the city master of a main city, one had to rely on strength.
"Zhao Fu is right. It is not wise to go against the new city master. Zhao Meng didn't keep his identity straight, so he deserved to die." The old patriarch had many grandsons. Iron Water King Zhao Meng was only one of them. He would not be too sad. Even if he was sad, he had to look at the big picture and not risk his family's future. "But our Zhao family has been in Flame Flower City for seventy to eighty thousand years. Our roots are very deep. The arrival of the new city master will definitely affect our Zhao family's foundation. There is no doubt about this. How to protect our Zhao family's benefits, or even a large part of our benefits, is our biggest problem right now."
Flame Flower City was equivalent to the Zhao family's base. Only here could the Zhao family earn three million yuan stones a year. If they moved to another planet, they might not even earn a hundred thousand yuan stones a year. As long as they could stay in Flame Flower City, even if their annual income was reduced by one or two times, the old patriarch would be very satisfied. He was only afraid that the new city master would deprive them of their future benefits.
Zhao Fu thought for a while and said, "Old patriarch, I think we shouldn't be too idealistic. The arrival of the new city master will definitely break the current situation. In other words, it is impossible for our Zhao family to maintain our current position. After so many years, our Zhao family has accumulated a lot of wealth. Why don't we slowly develop on other planets and look for opportunities? Wait until Uncle Yang reaches the seventh sky of Life and Death Realm and becomes a one star general. At that time, our Zhao family will be able to make a comeback on a rank 1 life planet."
A one star general could obtain a main city on a rank 1 life planet as their territory.
"No need to go through so much trouble. Flame Flower City will still belong to our Zhao family."
Right at this moment, a young man walked into the meeting hall.
"Yang 'er, you've reached the seventh sky of Life and Death Realm?"
The old patriarch's eyes shone brightly. He was at the peak of the sixth sky of Life and Death Realm, but as soon as the young man walked in, he felt a frightening pressure.
"Indeed."
Zhao Yang nodded. He was indeed the nephew Iron Water King had mentioned.
