The group of new guards before me obviously hadn't realized the severity of the problem yet.
They had been training in the barracks all along and knew little about the outside world.
But there was one thing they knew, and that was the City Lord's command must not be defied.
The leading guard captain looked at Dongfang Cheng soberly and said, "I will say it one last time, the martial law level this time is at its highest, concerning a major issue that relates to the safety within the city."
"If at this critical juncture, someone with ill intentions breaks in here, and causes harm to the fragile Myriad Stars City, can you bear the responsibility?"
With his hands on his hips, Dongfang Cheng looked at the captain and asked, "What if I say that I can bear the responsibility?"
"Sorry, but what you say doesn't count. Only what our City Lord says matters; he is the ruler of this city and the only one who calls the shots here. His orders are something we all should obey."
