Explain? How
Except for Wei Qingning, almost everyone else looked towards the injured Li Junwei. Lin Zhengnan's eyes also fell on the general and said in a deep voice: "Junwei, tell me, what happened today?"
Li Junwei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Lin Zhengnan, the city lord he had followed for most of his life: "Through reconnaissance, we knew that the enemy was hiding in the mountains. I led my troops directly to the mountains, where we fought a desperate battle with the enemy."
"However, the enemy is much superior to us in both quantity and quality. Although our soldiers fought desperately, they were still no match for the enemy."
Lin Zhengnan shouted, "How is this possible? Even if all the guards of the Ruby Caravan join the battle, they can't fight against our army. Junwei, you are a Level 6 warrior, and you have two Level 5 generals, a dozen Level 4 officers, five hundred warriors, and dozens of chariots."
"With such a lineup, they can't even deal with some small-time villains? Are you kidding me?"
Li Junwei sighed and said, "City Lord, I am not joking. Everything Junwei said is true."
"I don't know how they did it, but it was indeed an army, an army made up of monsters. In that army, there were tall knights who could compete with me and even surpass me."
"Its sword is extremely sharp. My Dou Qi armor was shattered by a single blow from that sword."
"It can also bless several other powerful monsters, improving their all-around abilities."
"There are also some monsters that can absorb light sources. They turn day into night, leaving us fighting like blind people."
Li Junwei's story moved the audience, except Wei Qingning, who closed his eyes with no expression on his face.
Listening to Li Junwei's story, Lin Zhengnan couldn't help but waver. He knew his character as a general and would never shirk responsibility because of a defeat. If that was the case, then, did the other side really have an extremely terrifying army
Lin Zhengnan frowned and said, "If it is true as you said, that army is so powerful, how can you still survive?"
Li Junwei smiled bitterly and said, "That's because, when we surrendered, the other leader said clearly that 'surrender is not death'. In order to save some vitality for our Chizhou Fort, Li, therefore..."
The word "降" could not be uttered no matter what.
There was a long silence in the office.
After a moment, Lin Zhengnan said with a gloomy face: "If this is the case, do you have a way to defeat the enemy?"
Li Junwei gave a bitter smile and hesitated to speak.
"That's all."
Lin Zhengnan stood up and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have to find a solution myself."
"Well, you said that the other leader clearly stated 'surrender your weapons and we will not kill you'?"
Li Junwei nodded: "Yes."
Lin Zhengnan suddenly laughed: "That's easy. If that's the case, we can openly ask for help and support from other fortresses."
Li Junwei and the others looked at each other, wondering why Lin Zhengnan said that.
Wei Qingning, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "What's the city lord's plan?"
Lin Zhengnan turned around and smiled: "Doesn't he not kill unarmed people? Then we will send a group of civilians out and let them go to the Iron Soldier Fort for help. No, it can't be just one group, we need to send several groups at the same time."
"That's right. Gather the civilians in the city immediately and have them divide into a dozen teams and head to Tiebing Fort and Qingtian Fort from different directions.
Go get us some reinforcements. With so many civilians, it would be impossible for him to detain every team."
"But if he kills civilians, then we have even more reason to unite with other fortresses to launch a crusade!"
Li Junwei stood up immediately: "This won't do, City Lord."
Lin Zhengnan immediately glared at him: "Why, General Li, do you have a better plan?"
"Your subordinate..."
Li Junwei was unable to answer for a moment.
Wei Qingning stepped forward and said, "Jun Wei means that the previous war caused almost all the civilians in the outer city to leave. There are really not many left in the inner city, and we still have to rely on them to rebuild the outer city. Therefore, should the city lord reconsider this plan?"
Lin Zhengnan insisted: "There is no need to rush to rebuild the outer city. Besides, we are blocked now. No supplies can come in. How can we rebuild it?"
"If there are not enough civilians, we can use soldiers to make up the difference. We can transfer those who are injured and can no longer fight and assign them to the civilian team. They can then pass on the message. Besides, when other fortresses see our wounded soldiers, they will know that we are not lying."
"This..." Wei Qingning frowned, but finally said nothing and sat down.
So the matter was decided. Since Li Junwei was injured, Lin Zhengnan asked other people to take charge of this matter.
When I walked out of the city lord's building, it was already evening. The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the earth blood red.
Wei Qingning and Li Junwei walked in the sunset, as if they were walking on a ground covered in blood.
"Junwei, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight? It's been a long time since we had a drink together?" Wei Qingning suddenly said.
Li Junwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back together now?"
"Walk!"
The two of them came to Wei Qingning's residence together. The moment they walked into Wei Qingning's study, Li Junwei let out a long sigh.
"Mr. Wei, you said, the city lord..."
Wei Qingning ordered people to prepare dinner, then nodded and said, "He has changed."
"Or rather, he has always been this kind of person, but he used to hide it very deeply. But after he obtained Mr. Su's power, he no longer controlled his ambitions and no longer hid his thoughts."
"If you say that stealing Mr. Su's power is to make Chizhou Fort rise. Well, I lied to myself and believed it. But now listen, he actually plans to push the civilians out to die."
"Civilians are the foundation of every fortress. Without them, there is no fortress. Moreover, in addition to civilians, he also has to abandon those injured soldiers. Isn't this chilling everyone's heart."
Li Junwei slammed his fist on the table: "I will immediately transfer those wounded soldiers away. They are already injured, and I can't let them go to die."
"No!"
Wei Qingning shook his head and said, "It's useless to do this."
"What if we push him too far and he sends the other uninjured soldiers away? What should we do then?"
Li Junwei frowned and said, "This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do?"
Wei Qingning looked at him and said, "Jun Wei, now is not the time to think about what we should do. Instead, we should think about what we should save. We should save Chizhou Fort and save those innocent civilians."
"Still, I have to continue following Lin Zhengnan."
Li Junwei was stunned for a moment, then looked around alertly: "Mr. Wei, what do you mean?"
Wei Qingning smiled bitterly and said, "Could it be
Haven’t I made that clear enough?”
"I have a feeling that if Lin Zhengnan insists on doing what he wants, not only will he end up in an eternal hell, but even our Chizhou Fort will be buried with him."
"He's already crazy, we can't go crazy with him."
Li Junwei thought deeply for a moment, then nodded and said, "What do you think, Mr. Wei?"
"The key lies in what Lin Zhengnan stole. I have an idea..."
That night.
The moonlight was dim, and Tianyang stood on a high slope, looking at the bright lights of Chizhou Fort in the distance. Behind him, a cracked door opened, and Yan Mo stepped out silently. In a blink of an eye, the number of Yan Mo in this mountainous area had reached nearly a thousand.
At this moment, Tianyang's heart moved and the corners of his mouth raised.
He put on the demon mask again and disappeared from the spot.
At this time, there was a magnetic energy vehicle at the entrance of the mountain area. The door opened and Wei Qingning got out.
I looked around, wondering where to find someone, when I suddenly sensed something. I turned around and saw a figure standing quietly in front of the car lights.
It is Tianyang.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to launch a surprise attack on us?" Tian Yang looked at the old man leisurely.
Wei Qingning smiled bitterly and said, "If we help you take back Mr. Su's power, I wonder if you can let us go of Chizhou Fort."
"Can."
"But Lin Zhengnan must be handed over to me." Tian Yang said without hesitation.
He never thought about doing anything to Chizhou Fort. Everything he did was to force Lin Zhengnan.
"But, do you have any way to help me regain Mr. Su's power?"
Wei Qingning nodded and immediately explained in detail to Tianyang.
the other side.
In Chizhou Fort.
Lin Zhengnan's female secretary dragged her tired steps, left the City Lord's Mansion, and drove back home. She lived alone, had no family, and lived in a very quiet house, which was one of the benefits of being Lin Zhengnan's secretary.
The female secretary stopped the car, opened the door, and got out, then she heard a dry cough.
She was startled and quickly took out the Xingsu pistol for self-defense.
"Ms. Yuewei, it's me." A deep voice sounded.
Secretary Yue Wei was stunned for a moment, put away her gun, and watched a tall figure walk out from a hiding place: "General Li, why are you here?"
Li Junwei looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Yuewei, Chizhou Fort is in danger. I wonder if you are willing to lend a hand and save this fort."
Yue Wei stared at the general in amazement: "Me? How can I save him? Besides, hasn't the city lord already come up with a plan?"
"Ms. Yuewei, can't you see that the city lord's plan will not only fail to save the fortress, but will also push Chizhou Fort into the fire pit."
Li Junwei looked at her sincerely: "Ms. Yuewei, think about it carefully. If we send the civilians out, and even send the soldiers out to die, will this fortress still exist?"
"Besides, Lin Zhengnan can sacrifice civilians today, but what about tomorrow? What about the future? When the time comes, will he sacrifice me and you without hesitation?"
"Are you still willing to follow such a city lord?"
The female secretary stared at the general in front of her in a daze, and remained silent for a long time...
