I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2120 Surrender
Liu Jun approached the map and found that with this underground fortress as the center, more than a dozen cities around it were marked with red. Even more frightening was that several carefully planned routes of advance had been marked with black lines, pointing directly to several strategic locations.

"With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you just want to capture so many cities?" Liu Jun was puzzled.

These cities are all frontier cities of the Platinum Divine Realm, and some of them are fortress-like cities, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even if there are five times that many, it would be a tough task.

Shi Yu'er suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the confined space. "It's not that exaggerated!" He slapped the map hard, "I have ambitions, but I'm not stupid. Which of those old-fashioned governors in the Platinum Divine Realm doesn't have hundreds of thousands of troops?"

He pointed to the area circled by a blue circle on the map and said, "My goal is just to become the general of the four towns and control the military power of these thirty-six cities." As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "As for going further up, that will be a matter for the future."

Liu Jun noticed that when Shi Yuer mentioned the "Four Town Generals", the old general who had been silent in the corner nodded slightly. The white-haired old man wore a golden medal on his chest, which symbolized military merit. He was obviously a military advisor hired by Shi Yuer at a high price.

"Are you willing to join us? I will give you my position and even assist you!" Shi Yu'er said fanatically, his eyes fixed on Liu Jun.

Liu Jun took a half step back without leaving any trace, and put on a forced smile on his face: "I, I don't need it. I don't like being an official."

He secretly complained to himself: You are kidding, this guy’s biggest dream is to become a general of four towns. There is no future in following this guy.

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance. A zombie soldier rushed over, his already pale face now even more bloodless.

"Chief! Something terrible has happened!" The corpse soldier knelt on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling so much that it was almost inaudible. "Thirty kilometers away, we have discovered the army of the Skyfire Divine Realm! They are marching towards here!"

When Shi Yuer heard this, the fanaticism on his face froze instantly.

“Heavenly Fire Divine Realm? Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?” Corpse Fish’s voice was as dry as sandpaper rubbing against it.

"It's absolutely true!" The zombie soldier who reported the news trembled, "The red battle flag, and... the burning flame emblem on their armor..."

Shi Yu'er's face turned even uglier than his men's. Everyone in the God Realm knew that just three days ago, the millions of troops of the Platinum God Realm and the Heavenly Lord City were slaughtered by the Skyfire God Realm in Nanjiang City. It was said that in that battle, less than a thousand people from the Platinum God Realm survived. How tragic it was.

Liu Jun's expression was a little complicated. As soon as he heard the description of the corpse soldier, he knew that it was the Jihuo Army and the Liehuo Army who were coming to kill him. He didn't know why these guys came here.

Shi Yuer forced herself to remain calm, turned to look at Liu Jun, and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Well, you see, the situation is urgent now."

Liu Jun waved his hand quickly: "Well, I suddenly remembered that there is still soup stewing at home! Goodbye!"

He was about to run away when he suddenly froze. He looked at the dead fish hanging on his leg with a helpless look.

"Brother, don't you dream of becoming the general of the Four Towns? Aren't your current behaviors a bit cheap?" Liu Jun looked down at this guy with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

If he remembered correctly, a few minutes ago, this guy was still fanatical and ambitious, wanting to capture the surrounding cities and become the general of four towns.

"I don't care if the price drops or not. Anyway, I'm not a general of the Four Towns now." Shi Yu'er had no intention of letting Liu Jun go. "I just want you to save us and save nearly 200,000 people in Xiangdong City!"

Liu Jun sighed and tried to pull his legs away but they didn't move at all.

"Let go first, I promise you." Liu Jun finally compromised, thinking that this was not the attitude of begging, it was clearly kidnapping.

"Really?" Shi Yu'er looked up suspiciously. After getting a positive answer, he slowly loosened his hands, but immediately took a step forward to block Liu Jun's way to leave.

Liu Jun brushed off his wrinkled robe and suddenly said seriously: "I can help you, but I have conditions."

Shi Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then said firmly: "Sure! You want food, money, and people, even if you want my life."

Before he finished speaking, a loud bang was heard in the distance, and a section of the city wall collapsed in thick smoke. It was obviously the work of the rocket. These dozens of kilometers were already within the range of the rocket.

Shi Yu'er trembled all over, as if he had been electrocuted, but his eyes remained firm as he stared at Liu Jun: "I agree to any condition!"

"Okay, then you submit to me. If you bring these soldiers and submit to me, I guarantee that the army of the Sky Fire Divine Realm on the opposite side will not touch a hair of yours." Liu Jun said lightly.

He still has some confidence. After all, he is the dignified Skyfire God King, and opposite him is the army of the Skyfire Divine Realm. If he says they cannot fight and the opponent still fights, wouldn't that be treason?

Shi Yu'er's eyes were a little complicated. He looked at Liu Jun as if he was bragging. The reason why he wanted Liu Jun to save him was because he felt that Liu Jun had someone behind him and was very powerful. However, he was still a little hesitant to let him lead his soldiers to surrender to Liu Jun.

Especially when Liu Jun said that he wanted the army of the Skyfire Divine Realm to not cause any damage to Xiangdong City, Shi Yuer didn't believe it. He knew that the army of the Skyfire Divine Realm was extremely powerful, and their attack methods were cruel and effective. He couldn't believe that Liu Jun had such ability. Sure enough, the next second, three more cannonballs hit the wall of Xiangdong City. The explosion was deafening, smoke and dust filled the air, and a big hole was blown out of the wall.

Shi Yu'er looked at the scene in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. His heart was full of doubts. He didn't understand what trump card Liu Jun had that could stop the attack of the Skyfire Divine Realm.

"Look, this?" Shi Yu'er asked uncertainly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

"If you surrender, everyone here can survive, and the enemy's cannons will stop attacking." Liu Jun's voice was firm and powerful, his eyes looking directly at the corpse fish, full of confidence.

Shi Yu'er's heart was in turmoil. He looked at Liu Jun with mixed emotions in his eyes. He knew that he was facing a major choice. Submitting to Liu Jun might save his life and the lives of his soldiers, but he also knew that this meant that he would have to give his loyalty to Liu Jun. The key point was that he didn't know whether Liu Jun was bragging or not.

After thinking for a long time, finally after a few more shells fell, Shi Yuer took a deep breath, looked at Liu Jun, and bowed deeply: "I am willing to submit to you."

Liu Jun grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. His figure flashed like a ghost, spiritual power surged under his feet, and he arrived on the city wall in an instant.

Looking at the red torrent in the distance, Liu Jun took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body surged like a river. He formed seals with his hands, and a dazzling red light burst out from his palms. In an instant, a small red phoenix soared into the sky from behind him, with its wings spread out to a width of more than ten feet, drawing a gorgeous line of fire in the air.

"Chiu--" A loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and the sound waves shook the broken stones on the city wall to fall. The phoenix was burning with golden flames, illuminating half of the sky, even eclipsing the setting sun.

At the same time, at the artillery position of the Skyfire Divine Realm army, Tiger and Ape were commanding dozens of sky rockets. These black gun barrels glowed coldly in the twilight, and wisps of green smoke were still coming out of the muzzles.

"Stop the shelling!" Tiger suddenly roared, and slammed his thick claws on the gong beside him, making a deafening sound. He looked up at the huge firebird in the sky, and his amber pupils shrank violently.

The ape-man leaped nimbly onto the observation deck, resting his hairy arms on his brow, and squinting his eyes to observe carefully.

"Is it Liu Jun?" the tiger asked anxiously, its tail twitching restlessly.

"It must be!" The ape-man answered decisively, with his sharp nails pointing to the sky. "Look at the color of the flame, pure golden red. This is a real phoenix. Who else in the entire Skyfire Divine Realm can summon it except him?"

The tiger scratched its head with its claws and its tail, like a steel whip, slapped the ground, leaving small holes.

"Then why did he run to the other side?" Tiger's eyes suddenly widened, "Could he have betrayed the Skyfire Divine Realm?"

The ape-man rolled his eyes, showing his fangs, jumped off the observation deck, and slapped the tiger on the back of the head. "Do you have a brain? He is the Skyfire God King! The most powerful being in the entire God's Domain! He will betray you! If he wants to betray someone, let others betray him!"

The tiger shrank his neck in pain, but suddenly found that the phoenix drew a strange trajectory in the air. The pattern formed by the flames was the symbol of the Heavenly Fire God King.

"Okay, it's confirmed, it's Liu Jun, put away all the cannons, and send a team to follow me into the city." Lao Hu waved his hand and gave an order, his voice was particularly clear on the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated.

Following his order, the artillerymen who were waiting in full battle array immediately took action. The heavy gun barrel was slowly lowered, and wisps of white smoke came out of the hot barrel. The soldiers skillfully began to dismantle the gun carriage. In the distance, several war horses snorted uneasily, as if they had not yet recovered from the deafening sound of the cannon.

Soon, the tiger and the ape-man led two hundred elite cavalrymen and galloped towards Xiangdong City. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, raising a cloud of dust.

On the city wall, Corpse Fish clenched his fists nervously, his knuckles turning bluish-white.

"What do you mean? Didn't we cease fire?" Shi Yu'er's voice trembled, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. "Then why are these cavalry rushing over? Are they going to attack the city again?"

Liu Jun leaned against the battlement and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You only brought 200 people to attack the city? Do you think they are fools?"

As he spoke, Liu Jun brushed off the dust on his sleeves, and said with a hint of joking, "If we really want to attack the city, at least let those dozens of sky rockets fire a few more rounds to flatten the city wall."

Shi Yuer swallowed his saliva, thought about it, and stopped talking, but his eyes were still fixed on the cavalry that was getting closer and closer. He noticed that although these cavalry were coming fiercely, their formation was loose and they were obviously not in an offensive posture.

In a moment, the tiger and the ape-man arrived at the foot of the city wall with the 200 cavalrymen. The sound of horse hooves stopped abruptly, and the entire team pulled the reins in unison, showing a very high level of training.

"King of ceremonies, His Majesty the God King!" Seeing that there were outsiders beside Liu Jun, the tiger and the ape also dismounted and saluted out of courtesy.

The two men knelt on one knee, and placed their right hands on their chests. Their movements were so standard that it seemed as if they had practiced them thousands of times. The two hundred cavalrymen behind them also dismounted in unison, their movements in unison, and the sound of their armor colliding made a crisp sound.

The corpse fisherman next to him was dumbfounded. He stared with his eyes wide open, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. The enemy general who was just on the verge of a fight, now showed such a great courtesy to Liu Jun? He secretly pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming.

Liu Jun, however, looked as if he was used to it and waved his hand casually: "Get up." He turned to the stunned Shi Yu'er and explained, "These two are my good brothers." His tone was so relaxed, as if he was introducing two old friends who came to visit.
