Chapter 302: Ge Long's helplessness, Sun Yu's confidence
As Marshal Ge Long listened to his subordinates' reports, the expression on his face became quite complex.
He knew Tiger Stone Pass was a tough nut to crack.
But he didn't expect it to be this tough.
After three days of biting the bullet, not only were they unable to break through Tiger Stone Pass, but many people also died.
After all, when their men were attacking the city, only a portion died at the hands of the enemy.
Another portion died from falling off the cliff....
Therefore, now, either a high-level Spirit Master who can fly goes up to stall for time.
Or, they retreat.
But if they were to choose to retreat.
They would have to abandon the three cities they had just captured not long ago.
After all, they didn't need to suffer countless casualties for these three cities.
But if they did that, everything would go back to square one.
If they allowed the cities to be retaken again, wouldn't all their efforts these past few days have been completely in vain?!
"Report, Marshal, Frost Flame Earl is leading a thousand personal guards to provide support!"
Just as Ge Long was finding Tiger Stone Pass troublesome.
Hearing the soldier's report, Ge Long's expression instantly froze.
Frost Flame Earl?!
Which one?!
Is there a general with that title in the Empire?!
I know the Frost Flame Earl, wait, Frost Flame? Could it be....
For a moment, as if he had thought of something, Ge Long's expression changed instantly, and he immediately ordered someone to invite the Frost Flame Earl in.
Not long after, when the Frost Flame Earl, radiating killing intent, walked into the tent, Ge Long immediately stood up in surprise.
"My heavens, Sun Yu, it really is you, kid! You actually came out of Slaughter City?!"
"Yes, Marshal Ge Long, as soon as I came out of Slaughter City, I came to fulfill my promise..."
Sun Yu bowed to Ge Long and said.
"Hahaha!! Good, good, good! I was just worrying, but since you're here, everything will be easy! Someone, prepare wine! Today I want to have a good drink with the Earl!!"
Ge Long pulled Sun Yu to sit down while shouting.
Sun Yu looked at Ge Long's inexplicable welcome.
He was instantly filled with doubt.
No, I'm not that close with Ge Long, am I? Why does it look like I'm his old friend of many years.....
Sure enough, not long after Sun Yu was pulled down by Ge Long to sit, Ge Long revealed his true colors and spoke the words he truly wanted to know.
"Sun Yu, has Dugu Bo come with you?!"
Hearing this, Sun Yu shook his head and said.
"No, my grandpa is still recuperating in Heaven Dou City. Why do you say that, Marshal Ge Long?!"
Hearing that Dugu Bo had not come, the expression on Ge Long's face instantly became incredibly disappointed.
His expression was as if the woman Ge Long liked had fallen in love with someone else.
Sun Yu looked at Ge Long's eyes, and a bewildered expression also appeared on his face.
"Marshal Ge Long, do you perhaps really hope my grandpa came with me?!"
Ge Long sighed, then spoke with a helpless tone.
"Alas, Sun Yu, I'm not afraid to tell you, I really do hope your grandpa came with you. That way, I would be confident in breaking through Tiger Stone Pass...."
After sighing, Marshal Ge Long briefly introduced Sun Yu to information about Tiger Stone Pass.
After listening to Ge Long's narration, Sun Yu finally understood why Marshal Ge Long was so eager for his grandpa to be here.
After all, if Dugu Bo, this siege weapon, were here, he alone could break through this city wall.
But Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo after all, and Ge Long might not have the face to invite him to participate.
Therefore, Ge Long thought of Sun Yu.
If Sun Yu was willing to ask, perhaps Dugu Bo would choose to help break the city...
However, now that Dugu Bo hadn't come, this news was a heavy blow to Ge Long's heart.
It shattered the glimmer of hope he had finally managed to ignite.
After listening to Ge Long's words, Sun Yu smiled slightly and said.
"Marshal Ge Long, why bother with my grandpa? Even if my grandpa isn't here, I still have a way to break through the pass!"
As soon as Sun Yu said this, Ge Long, who was originally drinking, directly spat out the wine he had just taken into his mouth.
"Cough cough..."
After a few simple coughs, he looked at Sun Yu with an embarrassed smile and said.
"Cough cough, Sun Yu, don't brag. How could you possibly do that?! Tiger Stone Pass is not an ordinary pass. Even using ladders for combat is extremely difficult. Soldiers can't even stand steadily on the steep cliffs. How could you, alone, possibly do it, unless you're telling me you're a Titled Douluo now...."
Looking at Ge Long's disbelieving expression.
Sun Yu spread his hands, stood up, and then summoned his Spirit.
"A Titled Douluo, I'm not yet, but after the tempering in Slaughter City, I have already broken through to level sixty....."
After speaking, Sun Yu's feet also displayed six spirit rings: one yellow, two purple, two black, and one red.
"Clang..."
Not long after, as Sun Yu displayed his Spirit and spirit rings, Ge Long was shocked.
And what shocked Ge Long the most was not that Sun Yu had broken through to level sixty and become a Spirit Emperor at such a young age.
But that he had actually obtained a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring at level sixty, which everyone desired....
And Sun Yu being able to obtain a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring proved that Sun Yu must have a Ten-thousand Year Spirit Bone within him....
My goodness, where did Sun Yu go these past few years, Slaughter City or the God Realm?
How could he have grown into such a strange existence that even Ge Long felt unfamiliar with him after just a few short years?!
However, even though Sun Yu displayed his Spirit and spirit rings.
Ge Long still shook his head and said.
"Sun Yu, you truly surprise me, but I still don't think you can take Tiger Stone Pass.... Your spirit ring configuration is indeed astonishing, but your strength is a fatal flaw. If you were a Titled Douluo today, I, Ge Long, would respectfully invite you to go there.
But unfortunately, you are not..... Alright, Sun Yu, this battlefield is not a place for you to be. You should quickly return to Fasinuo Province and be your Earl. Your future may be brilliant, but it's definitely not now. I cannot let you take such a risk for one city...."
Hearing this, Sun Yu put away his Spirit, spread his hands, and laughed.
"No, Marshal Ge Long, I've come all this way, you should at least let me try, after all, since I'm already here, what would it look like to go back empty-handed!
Otherwise, how about this: if I can't break through the pass, I'll leave immediately, but if I can, I'll be fully responsible for the subsequent combat missions, how about that!?"
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Ge Long's expression froze.
He wanted to stop him, but for a moment, he couldn't find anything good to say.
After all, to be honest, besides Sun Yu's self-recommendation just now, he had no other viable methods to execute....
Therefore, after Ge Long went through intense ideological struggle, Ge Long slowly stood up and said.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once, but only once. If you can't break the city, I will immediately have people risk their lives to send you back. Your talent is so outstanding, you absolutely cannot be harmed!"
Sun Yu looked at Ge Long's serious expression.
He spread his hands and chuckled softly.
"Don't worry, I also brought an agility-attack system Titled Douluo who can fly. In terms of running speed, I'm definitely faster than any of you...."
