133 A Lot of Fuss
In the evening, with the setting sun like blood, the United Army pressed forward and stopped only a few kilometers away from Lion City. The large city was completely surrounded, and not even a bird could fly out. The soldiers standing on the city wall looked at the oncoming army and trembled involuntarily.
Although I know that a large part of them are just make-up and their cultivation level is not high, the situation in Shilin City is not much better. The elite generals and soldiers are always in the minority. It is almost impossible to succeed with the power of one city against the rest of the forces in the Northern Cold Continent.
The only hope is that the city defense formation can hold on for a while, waiting for the city lord and deputy city lord who get the opportunity from the secret realm to come back.
The combined army did not launch an attack immediately. First, they sent several harpies who were good at amplification. They flew high and jointly spoke towards Lion Forest City in different directions: "Don't make unnecessary resistance. Let the city lord and deputy city lords lead the attack." There is no need for you generals and soldiers to bear this disaster. Just lay down your weapons and open the city gates to surrender. No one will bleed or be injured."
The first step in attacking a city is to attack the heart. If the people's hearts are unstable, the city defense is like a fragile piece of paper, which can be broken with just one poke.
But obviously Shilin City has done a good job in this area, and no one will easily believe the other party's words.
After all, since ancient times, those who lose in war will not have a good ending. Either be executed or become a slave and lose your freedom.
In a sense, being executed was easier. Being a slave meant living a life of darkness.

All the high-level officials gathered here. After Niyu assigned them tasks, the city defense matters were carried out in an orderly manner. However, she knew that there were traitors in the upper echelons, and the current order would be broken soon, and various problems would continue to arise, eventually leading to the failure of the city defense formation.
Not knowing who the traitor is, or whose heart is determined to stand with Shilin City, Niyu is not in a hurry. She is confident enough to solve the problem. Now it only takes a little time for her to see clearly who is suitable to stay in Shilin City.
"Lord Niwa, please have a good rest. You are now the highest combat power in our city. Please do not take action until the last moment."
"I understand, how are the residents settling in?" Niyu sat in the military camp and asked the adjutant who spoke.
"all the best."
"Is there any trouble?"
"Not found yet."
"Even if there is trouble, it is not necessarily an undercover agent planted outside. Try your best to investigate clearly, enforce the law reasonably, and don't kill good people by mistake."
"Yes." The adjutant said, but he didn't care in his heart.
In times of crisis like this, no matter what the reason is, as long as they cause trouble and stir up public sentiment, they will be executed on the spot as soon as possible to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, the city would be in chaos even before the enemy could be attacked outside the city.
The adjutant felt that upper-level managers like Niwa didn't take into account the hard work of middle-level people like them. If something happened to the lower-level people, it would be the middle-level management's failure to take the blame, so he wouldn't do it.
Not long after, the adjutant returned to the place he was responsible for. It was the inner circle of Lion City, the center of the city. There was the city lord's palace and the residence of the nobles, but there was no room for civilians, so the streets were crowded with people at this time. .
In addition to nervousness and fear, the people's faces are more confused. They don't know what the outcome will be and what their fate will be. Just like a lamb in a sheepfold, waiting for dawn in the darkness, when there is a terrible movement outside the sheepfold, one can only stare nervously at the entrance, praying that the person coming is a companion, not a vicious wolf.
"Have you heard that Young Master Kuang Biao of the deputy city lord's family seems to have had an accident in prison?" The patrol soldiers maintaining law and order were walking among the people and suddenly started chatting.
"what's the situation?"
"It seems that he was tortured terribly by a spy, and was disguised as that spy. In the end, he was tortured alive by a young master from another family..."
"died?"
"It is said that it is hopeless."
"The deputy city lord must not go crazy when he comes back?"
"Who says it isn't? Besides, the spy ran away and hasn't been caught yet. What happened at this critical moment would be very disastrous. By the way, this is a portrait. Pay more attention to it later. Yes Personal clan." The patrolman shared the information: "Master Kuang Quanbing said that whoever catches him will be rewarded with a fifth-grade medicinal herb and a hundred high-grade demon stones."
A corner next to the city lord's palace.
"You kid! How dare you do that kind of thing!" According to the message, Guan Dongzi came to the designated place and saw several people wearing cloaks covering their faces, two older and two younger: "That's the young master of the deputy city lord's family! What happened?"
"It's a long story." Long Tian sighed. He found Qiu Ligao and Chi Shi's siblings in the prison. They had lost the chance to leave the city. He had no choice but to take them to follow the crowd and come to the inner circle. Fortunately, they were contacted. Got Guan Dongzi.
"Forget it, the young master of the Kuang family is not a good guy anyway." Guan Dongzi didn't ask any more questions, but just analyzed the current situation for Long Tian: "The city has been surrounded by the United Army, you can't get out, and there are law enforcement teams in the city looking for you. , I think you should go to Lord Manxiang’s house to take shelter.”
"Will he agree?"
"Will do."
"Then can you take them back to your family? Tell Chi Shi that I'm sorry for him." Long Tian pointed at Chi Shi's brother and sister.
"Now the entire city's residents are gathered here. It's hard to find them. It's better to take them with you first."
"I'm sorry, big brother, we have burdened you." Akashi's younger siblings are sensible.
"It's me who's dragging you down." Long Tian patted his younger brother's head, and under the leadership of Guan Dongzi, he successfully arrived at Man Xiang's house.

"Trash!!! I've been looking for a long time! I can't even find anyone!!!" Kuang Quanbing yelled at a group of soldiers. He never expected that his younger brother, who was still lively and jumping in the morning, would show hatred in such a depressed way at noon. In the end, the murderer was at large.
"I'm very sorry! We have distributed the portraits to the security guards in the city. It will be much faster with their help."
"Hurry? It's already night now! You tell me to hurry up!?" Kuang Quanbing breathed heavily, looking very ferocious: "I want to find it myself!"
"Absolutely not, Master Quanbing! You are the commander here and you have to stay here!"
"Guard? Expect you trash? Impossible! I can't let him continue to live. I want to find him in the shortest time, torture him in the most cruel way, and let him die bit by bit in front of my brother's body. Lose your life and comfort my brother’s spirit!”
The surrounding soldiers could not persuade him at all and could only watch Kuang Quanjun leave his post without permission.
The Kuang Quan soldiers who left their posts were like crazy, looking for people everywhere, and even broke into some key positions. Everywhere they looked looked like Long Tian's hideout. Due to his identity, no one dared to do anything to Kuang Quanbing, but his behavior gave some evil spirits the opportunity to operate.
Each team of soldiers has its own responsibilities and does not interfere with each other. They cannot leave their own area at will. However, it is different with the Kuang Quan soldiers. They can go to positions that they could not go before.
Not long after, a few soldiers accompanied Kuang Quanbing, and they "arrested people" with him, broke into various important places, and made a lot of noise.
