Faced with Qin Jue's question, Lion Duke smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to use this opportunity to slaughter the Elf City and make a contribution to exchange for some rare medicinal herbs from the Demon Court to heal my injuries. But now, I've suddenly changed my mind."
"As long as you give me one person, I'll immediately have the Rat Race retreat and never attack again!"
Hearing Lion Duke's request, Qin Jue couldn't help but be stunned. Lion Duke actually wanted a person from her?
"You can also see that I won't be able to live for long. Perhaps before I die, I can still regain my former might. A mere army can be destroyed. Think about it carefully. Is it worth it to use one person to exchange for the lives of tens of millions of people?"
Lion Duke didn't try to hide his voice when he spoke, so everyone in the Elf City could hear him clearly. At this time, everyone was uneasy, but they couldn't help but be curious. Who was the person that Lion Duke wanted?
To everyone, no matter who this person was, they all hoped that Qin Jue could be handed over. Using one person's life in exchange for the lives of tens of millions of people was definitely worth it. One had to know that this was the famous Demon King Lion Duke. He was definitely not joking when he said that he wanted to slaughter tens of millions of people!
Of course, if the person Lion Duke wanted was Qin Jue, that would be a different story.
"As a fellow human, I will not abandon or give up on anyone!"
Qin Jue pursed his lips and said, "If you want to fight, then let's fight. As for the matter of asking for someone, forgive me for not being able to comply!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no matter how shameless Qin Jue was, he would definitely not do something like using the lives of others in exchange for Lion Duke's departure. After the storm, no one would think that she was looking at the overall situation. People would only think that she was treating human lives like grass, showing weakness to the Demon Race, and losing face for the human race!
Qin Jue's words were filled with righteousness. Everyone admired Qin Jue's loyalty, but at the same time, they were also a little uneasy. Once they really fought, the Elf City would definitely be affected at such a close distance. At that time, it would be a small matter, but once Qin Jue was defeated, the matter would be serious!
"General Qin, don't be in a hurry to refuse."
Lion Duke looked deeply at Qin Jue and said, "I can guarantee that I only want this person to help me do something. I won't hurt him."
Looking for someone to do something?
Hearing Lion Jue's words, Qin Jue was completely stunned. He realized that he couldn't understand Lion Jue anymore. A famous Demon King actually wanted to find a human to help him?
Qin Jue wasn't the only one who didn't understand. No one in the city understood what Lion Duke meant. A Demon King was looking for someone to do something for him.
"Or, if General Qin is unable to make a decision, why not let that person make the decision himself?"
When Lion Duke saw Qin Jue's expression change, he couldn't help but chuckle. He slowly looked in the direction of the east city gate!
The people standing on the East Gate trembled in fear when they saw the Lion Baron looking at them. They subconsciously scattered in all directions, and as the crowd dispersed, a figure standing on the same spot became particularly eye-catching.
Qinchuan stood on the spot with a confused expression. He was puzzled by Lion Duke's gaze. Why was this old Demon King targeting him?!
At first, when Lion Duke asked Qinchuan for someone, Qinchuan didn't feel anything special. However, when Lion Duke looked at the people on the East Gate and locked onto him, he was stunned.
Not to mention Qinchuan, Lü Zi and Zhu Feng were also stunned. They had thought of many possibilities, but they had never thought that the person Lion Duke wanted was Qinchuan!
At this moment, everyone on the East Gate couldn't help but look at Qinchuan, who was alone. Their eyes were filled with surprise and subtlety.
"He is the one I want."
Lion Duke looked at Qinchuan with a meaningful gaze and said to Qin Jue, "Let him come with me. This war will stop immediately."
Qin Jue couldn't help but look at the isolated Qinchuan. Her eyes were filled with doubt. This young man looked ordinary. Why would he be targeted by Lion Duke?
And from the looks of it, Lion Duke didn't have any intention of asking for him before. He only changed his mind after coming close!
What secret was this young man hiding?!
Lion Duke didn't think much of Qin Jue's silence. He looked at Qinchuan and asked indifferently, "Young man, are you willing to come with me to save the lives of millions of people in Elf City?"
As Lion Duke's voice fell, the entire East Gate was silent. Everyone was waiting for Qinchuan's response. However, Qinchuan remained silent as if he didn't hear Lion Duke's question.
He didn't know how to answer this question. Let him, a Qi Condensation Stage human, go with a Demon King who had killed countless people?
What was the difference between this and a sheep entering a tiger's den?
Even if Lion Duke had promised that he wouldn't harm his life, could a Demon King's promise to a human be trusted?
Qinchuan didn't want to gamble. He didn't want to take the risk!
Therefore, Qinchuan turned to look at Qin Jue.
"General Qin, if I reject this Demon King, what will you do?"
Facing Qinchuan's question, Qin Jue looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "The tenth legion will fight to the death!"
This was Qin Jue's attitude. It was not perfunctory or hypocritical!
"Let's go."
No one knew who it was that softly uttered these words within the crowd, causing the people on the eastern city gate to become restless.
"Once we start fighting, who knows how many people will die? And these people will die because of you!"
It was unknown who said this, but everyone looked at each other. Their gazes were extremely subtle, and the atmosphere was even more strange!
"You guys are sending him to his death. You want him to sacrifice himself to protect you guys!"
Lü Zi stared angrily at the crowd and said angrily, "He's only eighteen years old, and he's only at the Qi Condensation Stage!"
"We're not that old either. We have elders and children to take care of. Why should we die because he rejected the Demon King?"
Someone was unconvinced and retorted, but it successfully made Qinchuan laugh.
Everyone looked at the laughing Qinchuan with different expressions.
"Hahaha, hahahaha."
Qinchuan laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. After a while, he stopped laughing and looked at Lion Duke with a subtle gaze. "Demon King, I can go with you, but I have a condition. How about letting those people who were hiding in the crowd and talking to me come with me?"
As soon as Qinchuan finished speaking, the originally chaotic East Gate immediately became silent. Everyone looked at Qinchuan with shock in their eyes.
"Sure."
Lion Duke looked at the crowd playfully. "I'll have to trouble those few people to come out on their own. In order to protect the millions of people in Elf City, sacrificing the few of you is worth it."
When the few people hiding in the crowd heard Lion Duke's words, they couldn't help but reveal looks of fear and despair.
