Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 176: Never Retreat

Hearing Mu Silin’s sharp rebuke, the members of the Guard Army who had wanted to flee stopped in their tracks, their hearts gripped by fear.

But it was clear that when facing the massive, terrifying horde of Lizardmen, Mu Silin’s words alone were not enough to persuade them.

After all, fear is a basic instinct.

They still lacked the courage to charge fearlessly into battle against those cold-blooded brutes.

Seeing this, Mu Silin unleashed his imposing aura and looked out over the men.

"I am the Great General of the Black Panther Royal Family of Muxue City. I trust you’ve all heard my name. Today, I stand with you upon the walls of Barbaric City, and I, Mu Silin, will defend its people alongside you, until the very moment I can no longer fight!"

He announced his identity and his name.

Instantly, the guards on the city wall exchanged glances, their faces a mixture of excitement and disbelief.

After all, Barbaric City was a place of exile, home only to lower-ranking members of the Beast Clan. No one from a royal family had ever come here.

And this was none other than the renowned Mu Silin, Great General of the Black Panther Royal Family.

His name was, of course, familiar to every Beastman and warrior.

If only their power permitted it, what male of the Beast Clan didn’t aspire to be like Great General Mu Silin—a great man, valiant in battle, and famous throughout the entire K Empire?

The chance to see him, even just a glimpse from afar, was something they would never have dared to dream of.

Yet here he was, standing with them on the walls of Barbaric City, about to fight by their side.

In that instant, the fighting spirit of the guards ignited.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Mu Silin continued:

"Barbaric City is part of the K Empire. You are all subjects of the K Empire. Every life is precious. Be it Muxue City, the Royal City, or Barbaric City—I, Mu Silin, swear here and now to defend this city to the death with you all. The Royal City will not abandon Barbaric City, Muxue City will not, and the K Empire certainly will not!"

"So, as warriors of the K Empire, you must now pick up your spears and swords! Use your own flesh and blood to protect the home you depend on for survival! If even Barbaric City, a border city of the K Empire, falls to these brutes, then tell me, where in this empire will our people be able to live? Where will your children and families find a place to live in peace?"

As he spoke, the guards became visibly agitated and impassioned.

Some bent down to pick up the spears and weapons they had dropped.

Others simply clenched their fists.

Spiritual power began to emanate from their bodies.

Even their gazes turned sharp, filled with killing intent.

’That’s right, this is our home.’

’And a home must be protected.’

’How could we just give up and let these brutish reptiles run all over us?’

’After all, the empire hasn’t abandoned us, the royal family hasn’t abandoned us!’

Ye Lüqi and Gu Fangqi exchanged a look. They had to admit, Mu Silin truly lived up to his reputation as a Great General—valiant, battle-hardened, and renowned far and wide for the countless battles he had fought.

His presence and power on the battlefield could truly ignite the fighting spirit in anyone.

Even they were swept up in the moment.

Perhaps, from this moment on, the Beast World was destined for turmoil. There would be no more peaceful days.

The future would not lack warriors with High-level Spiritual Power, but it would be in dire need of commanders who could restore the people’s faith.

The men on the city wall, hearing the screeches of the charging Lizardmen below, no longer felt fear. Instead, they were filled with a united resolve to fight to the death.

Seeing this, Mu Silin’s handsome face took on the stern, unsmiling expression he wore on the battlefield.

He raised his voice, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, radiating a killing intent so potent that no one dared to meet his eyes.

"Today, we fight to the death! No one is to abandon the city and flee until the very last moment! If I find anyone retreating without a fight and undermining morale, I will personally cut him down!"

His final words were delivered with resounding force, cutting off any thought of retreat.

At the same time, his thunderous voice stirred their very souls.

At that moment, everyone gripped their weapons, raised their arms, and roared:

"We swear to defend Barbaric City to the death! We will never retreat!"

The soaring, inspiring shout rang out three times, echoing across the top of Barbaric City’s walls.
