FVN Chapter 170 Entering the City
Chapter 170 Entering the City
"Who are you people to act so arrogantly in front of the East Sea Army's gate?"
"Who are these rascals to even suggest that the King of East Sea should come out to meet them personally?"
Before Wu Youwei could speak again, a domineering voice suddenly erupted.
Following the voice, everyone turned to see a pot-bellied middle-aged man striding out of the city, arrogantly sizing up Ye Ling and the others.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Wu Youwei immediately spoke, "Steward Shen, what brings you here?"
"Oh, isn't this Commander Wu? What are you doing here?"
Steward Shen glanced at Wu Youwei with a light laugh.
Wu Youwei's brow furrowed slightly, showing a bit of embarrassment. He had come to seek revenge for the Wu family's Family Head, but now he had become a captive under Ye Ling and his comrades.
If it weren't for Ye Ling's reluctance to harm him, he likely wouldn't have been able to return alive to this main base of the East Sea Army.
Suddenly, Steward Shen's brow twitched, and he said in a grave tone, "I understand! Commander Wu, were you kidnapped by these people?"
"How daring! To think someone has the audacity to kidnap a commander of our East Sea Army!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry rose in Wu Youwei's heart.
Although he hadn't truly exchanged blows with Ye Ling and his team, he had a fairly good understanding of their strength.
If Ye Ling desired, it was likely that even at the gates of this East Sea Army's main base, they could easily kill Steward Shen right here.
"A mere steward of the East Sea Army dares to speak to the master in such a manner?"
"Master, why don't I take action and finish this guy off once and for all?"
Chen Dao looked at Steward Shen with a fierce expression and said sternly.
However, Ye Ling waved his hand and said lightly, "Don't be impulsive. This is, after all, the East Sea Army's main base, and you know well that the old coot East Sea King is extremely proud."
Hearing this, Chen Dao nodded and stepped aside.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling turned to Steward Shen and demanded, "Where is the East Sea King now? Notify him immediately to come and meet me!"
"Do you really think yourself some kind of big shot?"
Steward Shen eyed Ye Ling coldly before continuing, "You're the first in many years to demand the East Sea King meet you personally!"
"Don't get too full of yourself and dare to demand a personal audience with the East Sea King!"
Ye Ling continuously surveyed the Eastern Sea Army soldiers around him, his eyes flashing with a peculiar expression.
Soon, led by Wu Youwei, everyone arrived in the council hall.
"You really do not know how to live! I advise you to release me immediately, otherwise, not even gods descending to earth could save you!"
Tied up in the corner of the council hall, Steward Shen struggled while still not forgetting to threaten Ye Ling and the others.
Seeing him like this, Wu Youwei suddenly sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Steward Shen, just calm down for a moment. These people dared to stride into the Eastern Sea Army headquarters openly; do you think their identities are simple?"
"So what if it's not simple? This is the Eastern Sea Army headquarters. Me, being the chief steward of the Eastern Sea Army tied up like this—if this gets out, how will outsiders view our Eastern Sea Army?"

Steward Shen's gaze darkened as he spoke irritably.
Wu Youwei shook his head helplessly and continued, "They will not release you easily without seeing the King of the Eastern Sea."
"Do you know how long it has been since the King of the Eastern Sea left, and when he will return?"
Steward Shen raised his eyebrows and spoke somewhat annoyed, "What do you think the temperament of the King of the Eastern Sea is like? Once he sets out to sea, it would be at least a week before he returns."
"Are you saying that I'll just stay tied up here until the King of the Eastern Sea returns?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Youwei suddenly fell into silence, seemingly contemplating what to do next.
Before he could speak, Steward Shen suddenly said, "Commander Wu, I heard that you have a good relationship with the noble daughter of the Eastern Lord. Perhaps you could find a way to contact the Eastern Lord and get him to come here?"
Besides a few army commanders, the King of the Eastern Sea's subordinates also include lords from the north, south, east, and west.
The power and status of these four lords exceed those of the army commanders.
It can be said that besides the King of the Eastern Sea, these four are the most powerful individuals.
And Wu Youwei had been rumored over the past two years to have developed a mutual affection with the noble daughter of the Eastern Lord, and naturally, Steward Shen also set his sights on the Eastern Lord.
He believed that if the Eastern Lord could personally make an appearance, he would surely be able to intimidate Ye Ling and his group and rescue him.
"Good! I'll send someone to inform the Eastern Lord immediately!"
After a moment of silence, Wu Youwei nodded and said.
Hearing this, Steward Shen's eyes flickered with intense excitement, muttering, "These arrogant fools, wait for the Eastern Lord to personally arrive, and see how they die!"
"To dare treat me like this in the Eastern Sea, they are truly courting death!"
