Chapter 1015015

“Mr. Liang, you’re making it difficult for us p>

“Exactly, Mr. Liang, the City of Ice Mist is the core of Mist City. Not to mention crossing the Mist Forest, we first have to deal with the mercenary corps in the Mist Forest, and the Ice Armor Soldier Legion isn’t a force to be trifled with p>

“Mr. Liang, you’re new to Mist City, so perhaps you’re not aware of the situation. The City of Ice Mist isn’t a small force; it’s an entire city p>

“Mr. Liang, we’re afraid this is beyond our capability p>

Everyone spoke one after another, showing expressions of difficulty.

Liang Yuan remained silent, merely watching them quietly.

Gradually, the discussion grew quieter.

People suddenly realized that, right now, they lacked the privilege to bargain.

Their lives were in Liang Yuan’s hands.

From start to finish, Zhou Wanxi, Li Chongming, Zhang Hengliang, and the owners of the other four boats remained silent.

They were swiftly contemplating Liang Yuan’s intentions.

Zhou Wanxi, Li Chongming, and Zhang Hengliang showed a keen light in their eyes, a flash of unexpected surprise.

They clearly hadn’t anticipated that Liang Yuan truly intended to target the City of Ice Mist!

Testing, Zhou Wanxi asked, “May I ask why Mr. Liang wants to attack the City of Ice Mist p>

Liang Yuan chuckled, “Why are you staying here and refusing to leave p>

Zhou Wanxi instinctively replied, “Everyone’s boats are trapped here p>

He quickly fell silent; the reason clearly didn’t hold water. Given their strength, even if their own boats were trapped here, they could seize others’ smaller boats and avoid obstacles to leave.

Moreover, none of their boats were trapped; they’d just been attacking President No. 7.

Zhou Wanxi fell silent, Zhang Hengliang immediately said, “Naturally, we want to go live on the Floating Island p>

“Mr. Liang, you’ve seen the situation outside. The flood waters are everywhere, the rain never stops, and nobody knows how long this great flood will last p>

“As the water levels continue to rise, those tall buildings will all be submerged sooner or later p>

“Although we can avoid the flood on our ships, without food and drink, we can’t survive p>

“Mist City is a floating island, able to float on water. No matter how bad the flood gets, it won’t submerge it p>

“The island has forests, lakes, mutant beasts, and land, making it a perfect place for survival p>

“We’re lingering here hoping that, one day, we can move into the City of Ice Mist p>

Liang Yuan laughed softly, suddenly interrupting him, and asked, “Then why haven’t you moved in yet p>

Zhang Hengliang was stunned: “Uh… naturally, it’s due to the rules set by the Master of Fog City p>

Liang Yuan scoffed again: “Why do you have to follow his rules p>

“Is Mist City his? Is the Floating Island his p>

“Does he have a property certificate p>

Zhang Hengliang was immediately left speechless.

Li Chongming, however, understood Liang Yuan’s meaning, saying seriously: “Mr. Liang, you intend to directly attack the City of Ice Mist and take over the Floating Island p>

Upon hearing this, all the captains present widened their eyes.

This idea was something they’d never considered before.

The City of Ice Mist always felt like a local government, powerful and unshakable.

The strength of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion discouraged them from ever trying to seize the Floating Island by force.

Of course, a deeper reason was because they had originally been common folk.

Their very bones carried a fear of the official authority.

As long as they were given food, not driven to desperation, they wouldn’t resist; they’d comply with established rules.

Their thinking was deeply rooted in the mindset of the common folk.

Even though they had grown accustomed to bloody battles, these were always personal vendettas and struggles.

Just like most people would dare to argue or fight with an ordinary person in life, but when facing someone in a uniform representing authority, their first reaction wouldn’t be to pick up weapons and fight back.

Most people would still obediently follow the other party’s rules.

And this Floating Island, Mist City, City of Ice Mist, and Master of Fog City, represented the rules, the authority, the ruling class.

They instinctively hadn’t considered rebelling.

They only thought about how to exploit those around them, gather resources, meet the entry requirements for the City of Ice Mist, gain admission, and become part of it.

Clearly, cowardice was involved.

Bullying those nearby and seizing their resources was far simpler than toppling the City of Ice Mist.

So, hearing Li Chongming’s words suddenly now, everyone was utterly shocked.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wanxi, Zhang Hengliang, and the others, stared intently at Liang Yuan.

Their eyes were filled with excitement, joy, and a bit of confusion.

Liang Yuan glanced at them and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly: “Seems not all of you are cowards p>

“That’s right, I’m going to attack the City of Ice Mist p>

“The strict rules of this Master of Fog City, I don’t have time to fulfill them, and I refuse to undergo their scrutiny p>

“If I want something, I’ll take it myself p>

Zhou Wanxi couldn’t help exhaling deeply, speaking seriously, “Mr. Liang, if you’d said so earlier, why would we have fought you p>

“To be honest, we’ve long been dissatisfied with the stringent entry conditions of the City of Ice Mist. Even though there’s plenty of resources and land, we’re still not allowed in p>

“Unfortunately, I’m just a nobody, and others don’t respect me. Although I’ve once had ambitions like yours, Mr. Liang, I’ve always struggled to put them into action p>
