"What should we do?"
Heavenstone City's officials hurriedly discussed among themselves. This was a moment of life and death, so they couldn't help but feel anxious.
Right now, there were only two paths they could take: surrender and preserve their lives, or resist and face certain death. They had no chance of victory.
A short official with small eyes said with a fearful expression, "I say, let's surrender! If we continue to resist, we'll be massacred. Don't think about us; think about the innocent residents. "
If Shi Jian was still here, he would be able to preserve his loyalty, but now that Shi Jian was dead, he had to think about himself. Of course, no one wanted to die – death meant that they would lose everything, and they would never be able to enjoy this world again.
Another well-built big man unhappily harrumphed and said, "I think you're the one who's afraid of death. How dare you drag Heavenstone City's residents into this? I think we shouldn't surrender and kill as many as we can. It's best if we can take revenge for the City Lord."
This big man was evidently very loyal to Shi Jian, so he was willing to sacrifice his life to resist.
The others all had different thoughts, and they were split into those who wanted to surrender and those who wanted to resist. The two sides were arguing, and neither side could convince the other.
In the sky, Zhao Fu didn't give them any time to think. He took out Heavenstone City's City Lord Seal and chose to remove the city walls, making all of Heavenstone City's residents criminals.
A formless energy burst forth from the City Lord Seal, and the incredibly sturdy city walls that were dozens of meters tall started to crack. Soon, they started to collapse, giving off massive sounds that shocked countless people.
Now that their defensive city walls were gone, their confidence in resisting plummeted. The players all wanted to surrender, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
Heavenstone City's residents' expressions were quite unsightly. Not only were their defensive city walls gone, but they had also been made criminals. If they continued to stay within Heavenstone City, their stats would be reduced by 30%, and they wouldn't receive any buffs from the city either.
Now that their stats were slightly lower than ordinary players', it would be much easier for Qin to kill them. It would be a massacre.
The officials' expressions fell, and they immediately fell silent. The few of them fell silent. It was time to make a final decision.
"Heavenstone City's residents, I'll say it again. If you're willing to surrender, come out and enjoy the same treatment as Qin City's residents. If you're not willing, I can only kill all of you," Zhao Fu's voice, which was filled with killing intent, sounded out.
This caused the officials to make a decision and say, "I choose to surrender. If this goes on, we'll just die a meaningless death."
The other officials sighed inwardly and did not try to stop them. After all, they had no right to ask others to die with them. However, they also made up their minds to fight to the death with Qin!
Very soon!
The system main city's residents split into two groups. One group walked out of the city and knelt on the ground, choosing to surrender, while the other raised their weapons and set up simple defenses, preparing to fight.
Roughly 200,000 or so people had come out, and they were all system main residents. There were not a single system main city soldier. Heavenstone City had 380,000 residents, which meant that 180,000 residents had chosen to resist, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers had also chosen to fight.
Zhao Fu couldn't help but coldly and cruelly laugh. Now, there was no need for Qin City to act, and Zhao Fu loudly said to the players, "Do you usually envy the indigenous residents' equipment? Do you envy their skills? Do you covet their wealth?
"Now, I've listed them as criminals, and their stats are even lower than yours. I'll allow you to commit any crime, whether it's murder, robbery, or anything else. As long as you don't leave a single person alive in the system main city, I'll open the isolation barrier in four hours, and you can leave!"
Zhao Fu's words caused countless players' eyes to go red. Every system main city's indigenous residents had a lot of wealth, and just as Zhao Fu had said, players coveted the indigenous residents' wealth. However, because of the system main city's soldiers' suppression, they didn't dare to do anything.
However, it seemed that Heavenstone City didn't have the power to stop them anymore. What was more important was that Qin Qin City's Legatee had given permission to do this, so they could openly plunder everything without fear.
There were roughly 200,000 indigenous residents and soldiers left, and if Qin Qin City's 400,000 soldiers charged in, they would be able to easily kill everyone. After all, their equipment and cultivations were far superior to theirs, and this was especially so for the 200,000 Stage 1 soldiers. After all, Stage 1 soldiers could kill a group of people with lower cultivations.
However, there were 200,000 indigenous residents, and Qin Qin City's casualties could reach 10,000. As such, Zhao Fu wanted to use the players within the city. After all, the wealth within the city wasn't something that Qin Qin City cared about.
Hearing Zhao Fu's words, the countless players immediately started to move. Not only would they be able to obtain great benefits, but they would also be able to survive, so of course they would be happy.
Many players picked up their weapons and rushed at the indigenous residents, and the battle immediately started. Countless players excitedly rushed at the indigenous residents and started to kill them, taking everything of value.
The indigenous residents had never thought that before they could even fight with Qin Qin, they would have to face countless greedy players. There were nearly one million players, and their stats were slightly higher than theirs. The only advantage they had was their equipment.
The indigenous residents did their best to resist, but they were unable to stop the countless greedy players from plundering. An Official, who was the valiant-looking big man from before, led 10,000 soldiers out of the city and rushed towards Qin Qin's soldiers, ignoring the countless players behind them.
He didn't want to die at the hands of those players, as they only had one enemy, Qin Qin!
However, Qin Qin had long since set up his bow, killing anyone who rushed out. Countless arrows rained down, and before the 10,000 or so soldiers could reach Qin Qin, they were completely annihilated.
This bloody and terrifying scene scared some of the players who had wanted to rush out of the city to pick up equipment, and they could only retreat in fear.
The surrendered indigenous residents all had complicated and sorrowful expressions as they looked at the people being chased by countless players. They had once been from Heavenstone City, and many of them knew each other.
However, there was nothing they could do as they watched them being killed. This was the outcome of not surrendering.
The battle concluded much sooner than expected. All 200,000 indigenous residents had died, and 100,000 or so players had died. Corpses littered the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air. The city was in complete disarray, but most of the players still looked delighted as they stepped into teleportation channels and headed to other system main cities.
