Niu Ping and everyone in the Niu family knelt down and prayed to Guo Chen, hoping that he would be lenient.

"City Lord Guo, you and I have been friends for many years. Can you please bypass me this time?"

Niu Ping lowered his voice, "I will confiscate all of our Niu family's family property for generations... I can give it to you, too."

"Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you."

Guo Chen scratched his head, "Since I sent people to arrest you, your assets have been confiscated."

"I usually respect you, so why do you want to kill me?"

Niu Ping looked lonely.

"If you had done other things, I might still be able to forgive you."

Guo Chen said calmly, "But what you do is bad, but you are a spy... Since you want Xuanmo City to be breached, I will not let you go no matter what!"

"I don't want to either!"

Niu Ping cried, "They threatened me with my parents, wife and daughter, and I had to do this."

"never mind."

Guo Chen sighed and then turned around.

When Niu Ping heard this, he felt that Guo Chen had the idea of ​​being open to him, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Take them directly down, or follow the method just now... keep their children, imprison them and send them to Beiwang Wasteland."

Niu Ping was stunned, although Guo Chen gave in and saved their child's life.

But he was exiled to the north looking wilderness, a place full of glaciers and lacking in resources, known as a "barren land".

Legend has it that when Beiwang Wasteland was first developed, at least six out of ten people slept in Beiwang Wasteland forever. You can imagine how dangerous this place was!

Niu Ping didn't know whether his descendants could survive in the Beiwang Wasteland.

But no matter what, this decision is better than cutting it off directly.

"Guo Chen, thank you."

After Niu Ping learned that the ending could not be changed, he felt calm.

He bowed his hand to Guo Chen, and then left Guo Chen's room with his family and subordinates.

Guo Chen secretly turned around and looked at the backs of everyone, feeling suddenly filled with emotion in his heart.

Although Niu Ping didn't have much respect for Guo Chen in the past because he was rich, his character was still quite good.

Why didn't Guo Chen want to spare him? But what he did was absolutely unforgivable.

Guo Chen did this, on the one hand, to give an explanation to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and on the other hand, to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

By using extreme punishment to make the traitors lurking in Xuanmo City fearful, Guo Chen's goal was achieved.

As Niu Ping and others stayed, Guo Chen also began to deal with other things.

After this battle, the reconstruction of Xuanmo City has become a top priority, and he, the city lord, obviously has to shoulder this responsibility.

At the same time, in an abandoned house in the corner of Xuanmo City, there were two orcs standing.

One is the messenger, and the other is actually a fully-charged demonized orc!

Coincidentally, when the messenger arrived at the city lord's mansion that day, the battle was already over. Not only did the three orc masters die tragically, but all their equipment was ruthlessly taken away by Guo Chen.

His assassination mission completely failed. However, just when it didn't know where to go, a demonized orc landed not far from it.

This demonized orc is more perfect than other demonized orcs, which also gives the messenger hope.

So it controlled the demonized orcs in the form of hypnosis. Without the protection of the Niu family, the two orcs had no choice but to hide in this place.

Immediately afterwards, the Beast Realm sent an order, and the messenger discovered that he could no longer return to the Beast Realm.

The only thing it can do now is to wait for an opportunity in Xuanmo City and prepare to assassinate Guo Chen and the other three people.

He decided to start with Cao Wei. After all, Cao Wei had unlimited potential, and with the powerful attack power of it and the demonized orcs, the chance of Cao Wei escaping was extremely slim.

After finalizing the plan, the messenger began to investigate Cao Wei's daily activities and formulated an assassination plan.

Cao Wei has been feeling as if a pair of eyes were observing him these past few days, but there was no movement in his crisis investigation.

Regarding this situation, Cao Wei could only helplessly believe that this was his own misunderstanding.

In the past few days, they had resumed the routine of the previous recruits, with some actual combat every day, followed by boring theoretical knowledge, which was no different from when he was in class before.

However, in two days, the commendation ceremony will begin. As an outstanding soldier, it is said that Cao Wei will be promoted directly to the next level.

Many classmates also expressed their congratulations to Cao Wei. It is simply impossible to be promoted in such a short period of time, but Cao Wei has achieved this with his strong ability and calm and flexible style.

Cao Wei didn't know that a crisis was approaching him.

Two days passed quickly, and the commendation meeting was held as scheduled.

Guo Chen, Liu Bin and others took to the stage to speak, and then came the commendation session for outstanding individuals in the Royal Forest Army.

The first people to be commended were a few veterans, and Cao Wei also saw the old priest among them.

"Cao Wei, the Imperial Guardsman, played an indispensable role in this defensive battle. As decided by his superiors, Cao Wei will be rewarded with a two-level promotion, and he will be qualified to enter the Amethyst Secret Realm!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.

"What?"

"Damn it, getting promoted by two ranks? Isn't this too cheap for Cao Wei?"

"In just a few months, he accomplished something that took others decades to accomplish. Isn't he too lucky?"

"However, it is said that in this battle, Cao Wei first blocked the city wall, then blocked the powerful enemy, and later saved lives and healed the wounded, holding back the demonized orcs. He deserves this honor."

"It seems that the higher-ups have noticed him. Even though he is only in the middle of the fourth rank, he has unlimited potential!"

Cao Wei was also confused when he heard the result. After being promoted by two levels, he was directly promoted from a small recruit to the level of squad leader.

In other words, he can also be regarded as the manager of the Xuanmo City Royal Forest Army.

He walked onto the stage excitedly, and Liu Bin walked up to the stands in person and pinned the dark gold medal on Cao Wei's shoulder.

"Damn, the leader personally presented the award, now Cao Wei has the ability to show off!"

"It's been a few years since I joined the Royal Guards, and this is the first time I've seen a leader award medals to new recruits."

"Do a good job, we all like you."

Liu Bin patted Cao Wei on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then whispered in his ear, "We are already fighting for another reward for you, but the next reward may not be transparent."

Cao Wei's eyes jumped, and he immediately realized that his opportunity was coming again!

The secret that has not been disclosed makes him extremely excited just thinking about it!
