The small square was as quiet as a cemetery.
Only the wind blows from time to time.
Lin Canghai looked at his still shaking hands, and a voice kept echoing in his mind: I lost
Am I defeated
Now he finally understood that Tianyang's words "try not to kill" were not a joke, but the truth.
Look at yourself.
I didn't take him seriously at all and kept talking nonsense. Now when I think about it, I was as ridiculous as a clown!
It turned out that the guy who he had promised to help him grow has now soared to the sky and left everyone far behind.
Whether it was himself, Yunfeng, or Bai Wuji, all of these people who were called geniuses would pale in comparison to him, because he was the real genius!
"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin?" The major covered his chest, looked at the distraught Lin Canghai, and called out worriedly.
Lin Canghai came back to his senses at this moment, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray glass, without the former brilliance.
He saw Tianyang coming back and heard him say calmly: "Tell your people outside to cease fire, and you, surrender."
"surrender?"
Lin Canghai's eyes moved, then he gave a bitter smile and nodded helplessly.
Being able to defeat himself who was protected by layers of armor with just one move, it can be seen that this guy in front of him, who is younger than himself, is already at the top of rank 6, or even rank 7.
Facing such a strong man, the army was no longer effective, and the number of troops could not influence the outcome of the battle. If he did not surrender, it would only be a matter of time before he completely wiped out his team.
"surrender."
Lin Canghai stood up, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Pass the order, we lost, we surrender."
Battlefield outside the city.
Han Shu soon discovered that the other side had ceased fire. The two Level 6 soldiers who had just joined the battlefield seemed to have received some shocking news. They looked stunned and then stepped back.
Not long after, they raised the white flag and announced surrender.
Han Shu was completely confused and had no idea what had happened in Jiliu City until he saw Tianyang and Lin Canghai appear together. He then understood when he saw Lin Canghai's eyes were blank and he had injuries on his body.
"That kid Tianyang conquered the Rapid City by himself?"
At this moment, Han Shushi found it hard to connect him with the rookie who had just joined the Night Walkers.
The news of the surrender of Jiliu City spread quickly, and Chu Yan quickly sent an army to take over. Many high-ranking officers and strong men of Jingtao Fort, including Lin Canghai, arrived at the supply base under Tianyang's escort and were detained.
Its daybreak.
Base command room.
"Well done, Tianyang." Chu Yan laughed loudly, and the old commander slapped Tianyang's arm hard, making people worry that he would slap Tianyang away.
But in fact, Tianyang didn't move at all, not even shaking.
"You did a great job last night. Not only did you rescue Xun for me, but you also captured Rapid City, captured Lin Canghai, and gave that old guy Lin Yuanwu a big slap in the face."
Chu Yan snorted and said, "That old guy probably didn't expect that we would act so quickly and retaliate so quickly. After all, even I didn't expect that Tianyang could take down Jiliu City by himself, let alone Lin Yuanwu."
"Now, he not only wants our medical
We have to consider how to redeem the captives.”
At this point, the old man rubbed his face and said, "I hope he can come and redeem the people soon. This time, with the troops from Stirling City and Lu Jian's men, Jingtao Castle has lost several thousand people here."
"For so many people, the food alone would cost a lot of money every day."
As soon as he finished speaking, a staff officer ran over and shouted, "Commander, Commander. Lin Yuanwu is online now and he wants to talk to you."
Chu Yan was cheered up and shouted, "Take it for me."
Soon, Lin Yuanwu's figure appeared on the screen in the command room. The mayor of Jingtao Fort was dressed in military uniform, his lips tightly pursed, and he looked towards the camera seriously.
Chu Yan put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "City Lord Lin, it's so hard to see you. You finally agreed to talk to me."
Lin Yuanwu said expressionlessly: "Give Canghai back to me. I have released your medical staff and will now send them to Rapid City."
Chu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then we will exchange hostages outside of Jiliu City. However, what you left behind with me is not just your precious son."
"Don't you plan to use something to redeem your brother-in-law and the other officers and soldiers?"
Lin Yuanwu was silent for a moment and then said: "War cannot be without sacrifice. When we set foot on the battlefield, we are ready to sacrifice."
"Except Cang Haiwai, you can handle the rest."
The screen flashed and the communication was interrupted.
Chu Yan jumped up immediately: "Is this old man crazy? He just wants to give up thousands of people? Even his own brother-in-law?"
"Crazy, crazy."
Han Shugan coughed and said, "Commander, this is not a solution."
"You said before that this war might become food for EsGod, so let's try not to kill each other on the battlefield."
"Because of this, it's very difficult for everyone to fight. Look at Jingtao Fort, Lin Yuanwu's attitude is just like a mad dog, he bites and kills anyone he catches, and he is not afraid of being beaten or killed."
"If we continue to fight like this, we'll never know when the battle will end."
Han Shu expressed the thoughts of most people. Indeed, due to these concerns, since the war broke out, Skyforge has been relatively conservative in its approach and dared not be too radical in order to avoid causing too many casualties.
On the other hand, Lin Yuanwu of Jingtao Fort was not afraid of sacrifice at all, and even now he did not want to redeem his own prisoners. If the battle continued like this, Qingtian Fort might be defeated.
Chu Yan calmed down now. The old man said calmly, "Actually, I have also considered this issue. Now we have some concerns and dare not go all out."
"My original idea was to force Lin Yuanwu to the negotiation table, but looking at his attitude, he doesn't want to negotiate with us at all."
"But on the front battlefield, we are worried that too many casualties will benefit the EsGod. In this case, all we can do is to divide them from within and force Lin Yuanwu to step down."
"To achieve this, we must destroy Lin Yuanwu's prestige. Now, this old guy is determined to fight us to the end, and he doesn't even want to redeem the prisoners to avoid wasting resources."
"This has definitely caused a bad impact among them. If someone pushes it further at this time, the voices against Lin Yuanwu will intensify."
Han Shu bit a cigarette and asked, "So what do you mean?"
"I will go talk to Lu Jian and tell him Lin Yuanwu's decision. I think Lu Jian will know how to deal with it.
But Lu Jian alone is not enough. Lin Yuanwu is able to fight us now, not only because he has the support of the army, but also because he has the support of other families in Jingtao Castle. "
"Lu Jian can lobby the military and use his personal experience to convince the top military officials to stop supporting Lin Yuanwu."
"But if Lin Yuanwu still has the support of the family, Lu Jian may not be able to persuade those senior generals. Therefore, we still need to divide the relationship between Lin Yuanwu and the family."
Han Shu took off his cigarette: "Broken Pass Mountain!"
"He was imprisoned because he tried to dissuade Lin Yuanwu from giving up the war. He probably doesn't have a good impression of Lin Yuanwu. Moreover, the Duan family is also a prominent family in Jingtao Castle. If he is willing to lobby, those families may give up supporting Lin Yuanwu."
Chu Yan pointed at him and said, "You and I have the same idea. I want to send someone to sneak into Jingtao Castle and rescue Duanguanshan. But Duanguanshan himself is a strong man of rank 6. It is impossible for Lin Yuanwu to be defenseless against him. Duanguanshan must be guarded by someone."
"Therefore, the people who rescue Duanguanshan must have certain strength."
Hearing this, Tian Yang came out and said, "I'll go. Since we don't plan to fight Jing Tao Fort to the death on the front battlefield, there is no need for me."
"Just let me go and rescue Duan Guanshan. I don't know where he is imprisoned."
Han Shu stroked his chin and said, "I can think of a way to do this. I know a guy who is quite popular in Jingtao Castle. He can be your insider. I'll contact him now and get back to you when I have news."
After saying that, Han Shu left the command room.
There was nothing else to do for the time being, so Tianyang followed him out. As soon as he came out, his arm was tightened, and he saw a chain wrapped around his hand. Looking along the chain, he saw Qianhong.
A girl with purple hair that was almost black walked over. Her hair had grown much longer. She didn't say a word, but held Tianyang's arm tightly with both hands, afraid that he would run away again.
Tianyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave without saying goodbye again."
Qianhong nodded silently, but refused to let go. Tianyang could only let her do that and dragged her along until he found Xun.
Seeing Qianhong hugging Tianyang tightly, Xun laughed: "It seems that you can't get rid of her for the time being."
Tian Yang shrugged his shoulders, looked at Xun and said, "You are already at rank 5. What abilities does a rank 5 of Guanghui have?"
Xun nodded and said, "I have awakened a new ability at this level, it's called 'Enlightenment Blessing'. It can only bless one target at a time, and it will form a blessing aura on the target. The blessing aura can continuously dispel negative effects and continuously heal the target's injuries. It can last for two hours."
"If the target is seriously injured, all treatment time will be consumed to stabilize the target's injuries."
Tian Yang was surprised and said: "This ability is very powerful. If it is combined with the defensive ability of the fortress, it will be difficult to die."
Xun smiled and asked, "How about it, will Jingtao Castle release our people?"
"Don't worry, Lin Yuanwu has just agreed that he is willing to release our medical staff in exchange for Lin Canghai."
Tian Yang added: "I will go to Jing Tao Fort later. The commander hopes to rescue Duan Guan Shan and cooperate with Lu Jian to lobby the military and families of Jing Tao Fort to divide them internally and make Lin Yuanwu lose all support so as to end this war as soon as possible."
Xun said sincerely: "If that's the case, it would be great. I hope the war will end soon."
