Tang Tianjun angrily ran in.
Tang Yuan was right beside him with a chopping knife in his hand. However, Tang Yuan didn't seem to want to stop Tang Tianjun from cutting Wan Tong.
Seeing the chopping knife, Wan Tong could no longer stay calm. He quickly hid behind Sun Qiqi.
He originally thought that Sun Qiqi would block the knife for him. He didn't expect that Sun Qiqi would take a step back, leaving him free. Wan Tong was so scared that he ran away.
Seeing Tang Tianjun's knife coming down, Sun Qiqi raised her hand. The knife didn't fall on Wan Tong's body. Otherwise, with Tang Tianjun's current strength, cutting Wan Tong down would be as easy as cutting vegetables.
Wan Tong swallowed his saliva. He had almost lost his life. He immediately became furious. "Tang Tianjun, why the f * ck are you venting your anger on me? This is the City Lord's will. How can I disobey?"
Speaking until here, he quickly threw the Jade Slips to Tang Tianjun and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself!"
At this time, Gao Cainyun and the others also rushed over. Lee Chao-young was the last to arrive. Wan Tong looked at her as if he was asking for help. However, she only gave him a pitiful look and didn't say anything.
Lee Chao-young knew that if Shi Cheng surrendered, wouldn't she be killed by the Five Great Alliance?
Thinking back, when she chased the Three Great Alliance out of Buzhou Mountain, how much blood did she have on her hands?
Although she dared to have a good relationship with Wan Tong, it wasn't to the point where she would risk her life to help Wan Tong. Wasn't this digging her own grave?
It's already good that I didn't give you a knife!
Tang Tianjun looked at the Jade Slips and froze in place. The others looked at him and found it strange. One must know that although Tang Tianjun had a fiery temper, he was the most loyal to Ye Tianze among these people.
His hand that was holding the knife trembled slightly.
Lee Chao-young felt that something was amiss. She immediately snatched the Jade Slips and examined it carefully. Her face immediately turned pale!
Surrender!
This was Ye Tianze's order. The Jade Slips contained Ye Tianze's aura and Spiritual Manifestation.
Lee Chao-young felt as if her world had collapsed in an instant. Everyone else could join the White Tiger Corps, but she couldn't!
The Great Five Alliance would definitely take her life!
"That's impossible. How could Boss ask us to surrender? How could he? Does he not trust us?" Tang Tianjun was in a daze.
The seven division heads present all looked at the Jade Slips with ugly expressions.
Only Wan Tong was still calm. His gaze landed on Lee Chao-young. He knew that this result would definitely sacrifice Lee Chao-young. He couldn't bear it.
At this moment, Gao Ceyun walked over and held Lee Chao-young's trembling hand. "Don't worry, we won't surrender!"
Li Chaoying looked at her. In her empty eyes, there was a glimmer of light. That was gratitude.
However, she knew what would happen to her. Sometimes, the situation wouldn't change because of the few of them.
Sitting in this position, Lee Chao-young knew that there would be a day when she would end up like today. However, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"We won't surrender!"
Feng Wu Hui said. "Even if we die, we will fight. If the Great Five Alliance wants Stone City, they will have to … step over our dead bodies!"
"But Stone City has three hundred thousand people. It wasn't easy to build them up. If we drag this out, it will be disadvantageous for us!"
Patriarch Ming said. "Without a backing, even if we kill the million strong army of the Great Five Alliance, they will still come back. Don't forget that the Heavenly Dao Academy controls the entire human race. Even the Human Emperor Palace has made concessions!"
"But how can Teacher be so heartless!" Shanhai Fu said.
"He isn't heartless. He just made a responsible decision. If he was here, perhaps … we would still have a chance. But he isn't here!"
Zhuge Qi said. "We have to think for the entire Stone City. We have to think for these three hundred thousand people. If they are incorporated into the White Tiger Corps, with the Human Emperor Palace as our backing, we … still have a chance. However … if we continue to drag this out, just like Patriarch said, even if we destroy the million strong army outside the city, it will be useless. We are water without a source, but they are a surging river that will never dry up!"
"Then we will take back the stronghold on the mountain and use Mount Buzhou as the foundation to support Stone City!" Tang Tianjun said.
"Impossible!"
Zhou Chong shook his head. "When we abandoned the stronghold on the mountain, our goal was to unite our forces. If we split up now, we will only be defeated one by one. Moreover, without the support of the White Tiger Corps, we will be completely annihilated if the foreign races join forces to attack us."
"Then …"
Tang Tianjun's hand holding the hatchet trembled slightly.
He wanted to say, 'Then fight, fight!'
However, he was now a general with tens of thousands of Fire Tribe brothers under his command. He believed that they would never surrender. Even if they knew it was suicide, they would still follow him.
But it was also because of this that he couldn't let them down. How could he be willing to lead them to their deaths without any value?
The ancestral hall suddenly fell silent.
They didn't dare to look at Lee Chao-young. Only now did they realize that most of the things that Lee Chao-young had done in the past were actually scapegoats for them.
But the scapegoat was also the most miserable.
"Stop talking!"
Li Chaoying suddenly raised her head, and her eyes became clear. She said, "I know that all of you hated me in the past. The things I did, in your eyes, were too cruel and merciless, and even outrageous. But … I don't regret it at all."
She glanced at everyone present and found that they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at her. It wasn't because they were afraid, but because they couldn't bear her gaze.
Everyone felt guilty!
"City Lord, if you are willing to die for the entire human race, then I … Actually, I never thought that there would be a day when I would be willing to die."
As Lee Chao-young spoke, tears fell. No one present had ever seen her cry.
No matter what, she was always cold and heartless. Only now did they understand that she was just a woman. A woman would cry when faced with death. A woman who would break down when she couldn't bear the pressure.
The slaughter on the battlefield was all about real swords and spears. However, her slaughter was to be cold to herself, cold to her friends, and finally, cold to her enemies.
"But this time …."
Lee Chao-young wiped her tears and put away her weak appearance. Only then did the people present realize that she was so beautiful!
"This time, I am willing!" She calmly said. Just like every decision she made, she didn't hesitate.
"I hope that Shi City can go further. I hope that these three hundred thousand soldiers, I hope that you …. My friends, although none of you treat me as a friend, I hope that you will go more willingly."
Lee Chao-young said. "I only want a complete corpse. Bury me under Shi City. I hope that one day, a bouquet of flowers will bloom on my grave and warm everyone who sees this bouquet of flowers …."
She turned and left the ancestral hall. When they reached the door, they found that Lee Chao-young had already disappeared.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Tang Tianjun cursed twice and ran out. "Surrender, quickly surrender. Take our dignity, take our ideals, take our beliefs and surrender together!"
