In Original Work, Qian Renxue had once missed several chances to kill Tang San because of her own pride, ultimately allowing Tang San to Flip the tables in a desperate situation.

Dai Chengfeng was willing to gamble on human nature...

Qian Renxue absolutely could not obediently sit in command at the rear. She would definitely come to the front lines in person.

At that moment, it would be his chance to Flip the tables from a desperate situation!

Although there was a Titled Douluo at Qian Renxue's side, she absolutely could not let a Titled Douluo act in front of so many soldiers unless her own life was in danger.

Otherwise!

She would have no way to explain to Xue Ye and the officials of Heaven Dou Empire why a Titled Douluo from Martial Soul Hall was following at her side.

And the soldiers of Heaven Dou Empire had no idea that there was a Titled Douluo beside their own "Crown Prince."

If they saw their own Crown Prince fall into a "crisis," they would definitely lead troops over to rescue him.

Otherwise, even if they took Wu'an City, they would most likely be unable to escape death.

"As long as we can disrupt the encirclement formation of Heaven Dou Empire's soldiers and let a large number of scouts break out in every direction to seek aid, even a Titled Douluo won't be able to Block them all."

"From that point on, Qian Renxue's plan will collapse on its own!"

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath. "And the only danger in this plan is that I might die amid the chaos of battle. Though with Uncle guarding me personally, the odds are very low..."

Dai Chengfeng knew that Zhu Fan absolutely would not leave his side.

If he did not enter the game, Zhu Fan would definitely choose the safest option... forcibly taking him away directly and letting Wu'an City fall.

But without Zhu Fan, a Soul Douluo, wanting to use one thousand men to charge nearly ten thousand men in Heaven Dou's central army was as hard as ascending to the heavens.

At that time, who knew how many soldiers would die innocently? They were all iron-boned men of Star Luo Empire!

Dai Chengfeng was not Dai Mubai, that useless coward who would be scared into running away!

As for falling into Qian Renxue's hands?

Dai Chengfeng was not afraid of that outcome at all.

Whether she was Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire, or Qian Renxue, the daughter of the Pope of Martial Soul Hall...

Both identities meant she was destined not to kill Dai Chengfeng, who was Star Luo Empire's Fourth Prince.

After all, Star Luo Emperor Dai An was famous for being tough, iron-blooded, and fiercely protective of his own!

Qian Renxue was so intelligent that it was impossible for her not to understand the Consequences she would bear if she killed Dai Chengfeng.

"Smart people always look ahead and behind..."

The corner of Dai Chengfeng's mouth lifted slightly.

Compared to Dai Chengfeng instantly thinking through so much, however, at this moment there were only four large words in Zhu Fan's mind—Vanguard Death Soldiers!

Without the slightest hesitation, he spoke up and rebuked him angrily. "No! This plan is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Chengfeng, your status is so noble. You are our Star Luo Empire's Fourth Prince, worth more than gold!"

"How can you put yourself in danger?"

Dai Chengfeng slowly shook his head and stared fixedly at his uncle Zhu Fan, enunciating each word, his tone heavy.

"Uncle!"

"With mountains and rivers like this, why... would I spare this head!"

In an instant.

All the surrounding soldiers, Zhu Yan included, looked at Dai Chengfeng in shock.

They even could not believe their own Ears.

After all, what Zhu Fan said was right. The person before them was Star Luo Empire's Fourth Prince, whose status was incomparably noble. It was no exaggeration to say he had been born standing atop the mountain.

Even now!

If he wanted to leave, he could easily leave at any time. He was completely different from Common Soldiers like them, who had no path of retreat.

Yet this Fourth Prince had not chosen to flee. Instead, he resolutely wanted to face the Heaven Dou army head-on... personally leading the Vanguard Death Soldiers in a fight to the death!

What kind of courage was this?!

Even Zhu Fan's expression became extremely complicated as he looked at Dai Chengfeng, all kinds of feelings surging into his heart.

There was worry in his eyes, after all, blades and swords had no eyes.

But even more than that, an uncontrollable pride welled up in his heart.

At this moment, looking at Dai Chengfeng's resolute gaze...

Zhu Fan knew that he no longer had the strength to persuade him.

In the end, he could only let out a helpless long sigh, raise his hand, and pat Dai Chengfeng's shoulder with great force. "Fine, then. This uncle of yours will go mad with you just this once!"

"But if things reach a completely irreversible point, I will forcibly take you away!"

"It's just that I have to say this!"

"Whether this battle succeeds or fails..."

"You, Dai Chengfeng! You will be my pride, your father's pride, and the pride of every hot-blooded man in the Star Luo Empire!"

"You owe nothing to anyone!"

Hearing Zhu Fan agree to this way of breaking the deadlock—a method that, to outsiders, seemed utterly insane and absurd—

The corners of Dai Chengfeng's mouth lifted slightly, and he let out a long breath.

"The first problem is solved!"

"Report!"

Just then, a soldier drenched in blood rushed over from the distance.

Blood kept dripping down his armor, spreading into dark patches across the scorched ground. It was not hard to see how brutal the battle he had just been through had been.

Only when he reached Zhu Yan did he hurriedly speak.

"City Lord! The soldiers sent by the Heaven Dou Empire this time are completely different from before. They're unbelievably vicious..."

"On the southern city wall, quite a few enemy troops have already fought their way onto the battlements. Even though our brothers are resisting with their lives, they're almost unable to hold on!"

"My lord, what should we do now?"

When Dai Chengfeng heard this, his heart instantly tightened. They've already made it onto the city wall this quickly. So this is your confidence, Qian Renxue?

Thinking this, he hurriedly turned to look behind him.

He saw that the defensive line on the city wall behind him was already on the verge of collapse as well.

Enemy troops surged forward like tidewater, wave after wave, in a frenzied rush. Their offensive was ferocious, and they feared no sacrifice.

Under such a fearless assault, their own soldiers resisted with difficulty. Every inch of the battlements was soaked in blood.

From time to time, soldiers fell with agonized screams, intertwining with the cries of battle... They were hanging by a thread!

"Hoo!"

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath. He knew that the more critical the moment, the less he could afford to be flustered.

He closed his eyes slightly.

When he opened them again, calm had already returned to his gaze.

Then he raised his head and looked toward the Heaven Dou Empire's central army.

"As expected!"

At this moment.

The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, "Xue Qinghe," had already ridden a white steed to the front lines in person.

"In that case, it's time!"

Dai Chengfeng abruptly turned around and looked once more at the soldiers before him. Using every bit of strength in his body, he roared, "From this moment on, I am no longer the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire. I am only the most ordinary hot-blooded man of the Star Luo Empire!"

"I ask again!"

"The tide of fate is about to crush down upon us. Gentlemen... is there anyone willing to hold up the collapsing heavens!!!"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan was the first to step forward. "The Star Luo Empire has raised its warriors for five full centuries. To die for righteousness and honor—today is the day!"

"This subject, Zhu Fan, is willing to follow the Fourth Prince into a battle to the death!"

"I come from a poor family, so I will not yield a single inch of land. Centurion Xu Feng is willing to follow the Fourth Prince to his death!"

"Loyal bones may be buried in green hills anywhere; why must they return wrapped in horsehide? Li Zhizhao, soldier of the Star Luo Empire, is willing to die!"

"This world is absurd. I'll go take a look up in the heavens first. Zhu Yan, City Lord of Wu'an City, is willing to take the first step in this life! If I unfortunately die in battle, everyone who survives, please tell my daughter for me that I was not a good father."

"Wang Yi, soldier of the Star Luo Empire, is willing to give his life for the people of the empire!"

"Bai Zhan, soldier of the Star Luo Empire..."

"..."

Roar after roar rang out like rolling thunder. Since Dai Chengfeng, the Fourth Prince, could face life and death without fear, they were hot-blooded men all the same.

Dai Chengfeng shouted once more, "Gentlemen, you are all heroes!"

"Mount up with me and kill the enemy!!!"

P.S. Someone just said the protagonist is a saint. The protagonist is now a prince of the Star Luo Empire. If, when the danger isn't that great, he chose to abandon the soldiers and civilians of the entire city and run away, would that make him not a saint? That would obviously make him a coward!

The protagonist is not Tang San, nor Dai Mubai. He has a fierce tiger in his heart and a pride of his own.
