The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5866

Elijah realized that the old man in front of them indeed possessed great powers and was also a fellow Oskian, so he almost instinctively knelt down on the spot and sobbed tearfully as he cried out, “Sir, these days, most of the Oskian land has been almost completely occupied by the barbarians, and the lives of the Oskians are in misery and suffering. We have been resisting the Qing army for many years, but our strength is limited. We can only watch helplessly as the Oskian land continues to fall. Since you are also an Oskian, please help drive away the Qing scumbags and restore Oskia!”

Fleur also regained her senses and quickly knelt down, bowing respectfully as she said, “Please lend us your hand, Sir!”

Marcius was slightly surprised by their actions, then sneered and said, “I have been living in seclusion here for hundreds of years. Whoever owns the land outside has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether it's a king from Oskia, Mongolia, or from the Qing Army, it is not my concern.”

Elijah and Fleur were immediately filled with despair.

They had thought that with Marcius's ability to easily kill hundreds of Qing soldiers with a flick of his finger, even taking the head of the king of the Qing army in Eastciff would be a piece of cake.

However, they had overestimated the Oskian spirit in Marcius.

In fact, Marcius, at his age, had long disregarded national righteousness and ethnic integrity.

So, he had an indifferent expression as he said, “This place is where I cultivate in seclusion. You two should not disturb my cultivation anymore. The Qing soldiers chasing you have all been killed by me. You can leave now.”

Upon hearing this, Elijah appeared extremely disheartened. He lowered his head, his tone firm and resolute yet somewhat tragic as he said, “Even if I am unable to support Oskia, I will never give up fighting the Qing army to the end! The Qing army is just a few million in numbers, yet they can occupy most of Oskia. If every Oskian simply stands by, we will never be able to reclaim our land!”

Marcius chuckled indifferently. “Your so-called aspirations are just because you haven't lived long enough. If you could live to my age, what difference would it make to you whether it's the barbarians or the Oskians who become the king?”

When Fleur, who was aside, saw that he was unmoved, she quickly said, “Sir, the Qing army is now advancing southward. They have already reached Hilten City, and they are about to enter Mount Tason. Once they take control of Mount Tason, Yorkshire Hill will be next. Once they capture Yorkshire Hill, Oskia will be completely lost. At that time, if you have nowhere to cultivate and are forced into the world, if you don't want to provoke trouble, you will have to cut off your long hair. Can you accept that?”

Marcius's expression suddenly became unpleasant.
