It wasn't just this member of the Burning Squad; the surrounding group of traders also nodded in agreement, fully understanding the concerns in Gu Ran's mind.
"My lord, regardless, please accept this card, and we implore you to think of a solution. Our captain said that the only person who can save the Burning Squad and all the remaining survivors in Lou City is you. If even you are powerless, then the humans of Lou City will have no hope left."
With these words, at this moment, everyone's gaze converged onto Gu Ran alone.
Feeling the hope, curiosity, respect, and expectation in the gazes from behind him, to tell the truth, even as the City Lord of Blazing Plains City for half a year, Gu Ran still felt an immense pressure.
It was different from the natural suppression that higher life forms have over lower ones—this was psychological.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and this was the most accurate portrayal of Gu Ran at this moment.
