It doesn't matter what the lord is.

A hail of arrows came over, and the white flag of surrender became a sieve. The soldier waving the white flag was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground.

Lord Tiancheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Selaginella took a step forward and threw the spear in his hand fiercely. The spear nailed into the plaque of Anning City, and the spear handle was still vibrating.

He exhaled, looked around, and said:

"Did you see anything just now?"

The adjutants beside him shook their heads tactfully.

Selaginella dusted off his hands and spoke loudly to the bewildered people:

"It's winter, stop kneeling, get up and attack the city! There is no such thing as a man-eating monster with three heads and six arms in this world. Even if there is, with more than 100,000 of you here, you will starve it to death! Attack the city! I'll say it one last time, whoever reaches the city wall first will be rewarded, and whoever fails to retreat will be killed!"

The people hesitated, but still subconsciously got up from the ground.

A somewhat panicked voice came from the city wall:

"Envoys from Yunyang, troops from Zhaochen, our lord wants to talk to you..."

Another arrow accurately pierced his chest. Selaginella looked indifferent and had no intention of responding.

In fact, before this expedition, Lid had met with Selaginella alone.

At that time, Lid asked Juan Bo, what do you think Lord Tiancheng will do if our army attacks? Juan Bo thought this was a test for him, so he simulated an attack and defense battle of Anning City on the spot, and patted his chest to guarantee that there would be no large-scale losses on his side.

As a result, Lid smiled. He picked up the cherry on the milk cake with a fork and put it into his mouth. At the same time, he told Juanbai in a very calm tone that there was no need to go through so much trouble. Once the army arrived, Lord Tiancheng would definitely open the gate and surrender.

Selaginella was a little puzzled, and Lid didn't say much, but simply said:

——"Don't have too high expectations of people's bottom line, and don't underestimate the extent of a person's shamelessness. If Lord Tiancheng doesn't surrender and waits until several armies arrive together, he will definitely not survive the day. His only way out is to surrender to the territory that first reaches Anning City and let that territory protect him."

At that time, Selaginella clenched his fists and remained silent.

Once Lord Tiancheng's surrender is accepted, then Lord Tiancheng must not die, otherwise it will be a slap in Yunyang's face. At that time, Yunyang can only protect Lord Tiancheng with his life, but when he thinks that the man who has done countless evil things in his life will continue to live happily, who can bear this?

If everything really develops as Lord Tiancheng expected, then Selaginella's trip to Tiancheng this time would be like helping Lord Tiancheng escape from the sea of ​​suffering!

Lid licked the butter on the fork and said to Selaginella with a smile:

——"However, whether Lord Tiancheng surrenders or not is his business, and whether to accept his surrender is our business. I think the crime committed by Lord Tiancheng should be handed over to the people of Tiancheng for trial. If the people of Tiancheng forgive him, it will not be too late for us to accept his surrender. What do you think?"

At that time, Selaginella looked at Reed in surprise, but now he completely understood why Reed did that.

Tiancheng will one day become a part of Yunyang.

The people of Tiancheng will one day become the people of Yunyang.

Now Yunyang looked down on Zhaochen, and Zhaochen looked down on Tiancheng, but in the future, both the upper and lower ends of the contempt chain will become one family. So Lide gave the opportunity to capture Tiancheng to Zhaochen's soldiers in order to promote Zhaochen's soldiers to complete their self-awakening in the war. And Lide also had to consider the future of the people of Tiancheng - millions of people, you can't just kill them all, you really want the land but not the people.

The people of Tiancheng must also complete their self-awakening, and that opportunity may be right before their eyes.

Juanbai drew the long sword from his waist, pointed it diagonally at the city wall, and shouted loudly:

"Knife in hand, follow me--"

"Kill the lord, avenge blood revenge——"

Zhaochen's soldiers followed him and rushed to the city wall. Seeing this, the people of Tiancheng no longer hesitated and climbed up the city wall with their hands and feet. The number of defenders on the city was only tens of thousands. When they saw the dark figures below, they immediately became timid. Some of them were still resisting stubbornly, while others had secretly taken off their armor and planned to sneak out among the civilians.

Neither Zhaochen's army nor Tiancheng's people encountered any strong resistance. Anyone facing such a disaster movie-like scene would be terrified, not to mention that Tiancheng's army was not elite, but just some bullies used by Tiancheng lords to maintain their regime.

The people of Tiancheng mixed with the army of Zhaochen, forming a chaotic resistance army. If they were facing the elite troops of other territories, this mixed situation would actually reduce the combat effectiveness of the Zhaochen army, but since Zhaochen had no intention of resisting, none of this mattered.

The rebels quickly captured the city.

Juanbai swung his sword and cut off Tiancheng's flagpole, and hung a large flag of Yunyang on the city wall.

Then he said loudly to the people of Tiancheng:

"Lord Tiancheng is in the mansion, and there is everything they took from you! Don't be afraid. If he is really as scary as described in the legend, why hide like a turtle? He is just like you, with two eyes, a nose and a mouth! Go kill him and take back what belongs to you——"

The crowd surged towards the magnificent lord's mansion like a tide.

19. Do you dare to disobey me, who holds the position of lord?

Yunhai.

Old Man Hualong learned the result of the Huaiwang meeting from Lian Zhao, but he was not that surprised. Or rather, he was not that surprised by anything related to Lide. Even if someone told him that Lide became the son-in-law of the Lingwu Lord and returned as a tyrant after three years of forbearance, Old Man Hualong felt that this was very consistent with the image of Lide in his mind.

Lian Zhao asked Elder Hualong:

"I'm actually very curious. If the Prince of Huai hadn't proposed the idea of ​​dividing up Tiancheng, and Yunyang hadn't interfered in Tiancheng's affairs, how would you have planned to solve the quagmire that is Tiancheng's territory?"

Old Man Hualong stroked his beard and replied:

"Do you think that the people of Tiancheng are important to us?"

Lian Zhao shook his head:

"We need Tiancheng because we need a marching route to expand our territory. Those people who come from poor and remote areas are insignificant to us."

Old Man Hualong looked up at the gray sky and continued:

"That's what I think. In fact, when people are pushed into a corner, they will indeed unite, but any group that unites must have a leader, otherwise it will be a mess. Tiancheng must also have a leader. Those people may be respected elders, or they may be hot-blooded bandits. They secretly instigated these attacks. Those ignorant people alone cannot do this."

Lian Zhao asked:

"You mean... recruit them? But there are too many people in Tiancheng. We can't support them with the resources we have now in Yunhai."

Old Man Hualong shook his head:

"It's not about recruiting, it's about killing."

He seemed unwilling to talk more on this topic, leaving only a few words:

"We paid a lot of money to persuade those behind-the-scenes masters who were trusted by the people to lead the people into a big trap that had been dug in advance... I don't need to say more about what happened next."

Lian Zhao sighed:

"That's all we can do. But judging by what Lid is doing, it seems he's planning to help them."

The old man Hualong just smiled and said:

"I'm not surprised at what he does. But saving people is not as easy as killing people. There are millions of mouths, each one crying for food; there are millions of hearts, each one pointing in a different direction. The chaos in Tiancheng is far from over. Lid has temporarily suppressed the situation with brute force, but how to deal with the small leaders within Tiancheng? How to deal with the surrounding territories that are eyeing him covetously? He wants to be a good person, but in this situation of internal and external difficulties, how can it be so easy."

Lian held a press conference and said:

"Let's see if he has any other backup plans. What about us? Should we prepare to attack Tiancheng and snatch a piece of cake from Yunyang?"

Elder Hualong was silent for a while, then said to Lian Zhao:

"Let's observe for a while first."

……

For Lord Tiancheng, this was probably the most difficult winter in history.

The door of the lord's mansion was banged loudly, and the servants, who were always ferocious, were now in a panic. Lord Tiancheng's hand holding the wine glass was shaking slightly, but he kept muttering:

"This shouldn't be the case, this shouldn't be the case... Where does Yunyang get the courage to do this? If I die, who will help them take care of those unruly people..."

Tian Chenggongzi Wenming got off the woman and put on his clothes while saying nonchalantly:

"Dad, Lid is so young, how could he have such courage? I think it was most likely done by that androgynous guy from before, but he probably doesn't have the guts to kill us. He just wants to scare us with those troublemakers so that he can better control us."

Before asking about wealth, he looked half asleep, but after hearing this, he turned his head and said with a bright look:

"Lidd? Lidd is here too?"

Lord Tiancheng frowned and thought for a while. Although he felt that there were many things wrong, he still nodded and confirmed his eldest son's opinion:

"Indeed... my son's words make a lot of sense. In this case, we cannot lose the battle. If they want to control us, we have to give them a beating in return."

Lord Tiancheng turned around and called the maid to fill the glass with wine. While shaking the red wine glass, he posed in a deep and intimidating manner. Wenming and Wencai also adjusted their clothes and sat on the left and right of Lord Tiancheng. Seeing that their master had regained his former momentum, the servants happily stood behind them to support the scene.

Lord Tiancheng calmed down and silently repeated "I am the Lord" three times in his mind. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said loudly:

"Open the door!"

The guard at the door said loudly:

"Here!"

The two men opened the bolt, but before they could see the situation outside, they were immediately attacked by the crowd of victims. No one knew who screamed, but it seemed that a guard's helmet was blown away, and someone opened his mouth and bit his neck. But none of this mattered anymore, as a large number of people squeezed in because the table where Lord Tiancheng was sitting was still emitting the tempting aroma of food. Everyone squeezed over there, and it was impossible to count how many stampedes occurred and how many people died.

All I know is that the lord's mansion is full of people!

People squeezed each other, pushed each other, stepped on each other, grabbed each other, and killed each other!

The entire lord's mansion was in chaos. Lord Tiancheng was finally shocked and hurriedly said to the servants behind him:

"Kill them, kill these slaves!"

The servants held sticks, looking like they were playing whack-a-mole. But whack-a-mole can only produce a few at a time, and these "mole" in front of them seemed endless, constantly attacking from all directions. In fact, the people of Tiancheng were also afraid of the Tiancheng lord and many servants, but they had no choice now.

Because more people can't see the situation in front of them at all, and they are trying hard to squeeze forward from the back.

The people in front could only be pushed forward. If they stopped, they would fall down, and any loud shouts they made would be drowned out by the crowd. From the moment they rushed into the lord's mansion, the situation had nothing to do with courage, or in other words, it had nothing to do with anything.

At this moment, the ending was already determined.

When the first person who was pushed rushed to Lord Tiancheng, he had literally no way out. He could only get angry and rushed forward, grabbed Lord Tiancheng's neck with both hands, and threw him heavily into the table of luxurious dishes. Lord Tiancheng was so scared that he hit the man's head with a glass of wine. The glass fragments cut the man's head and blood flowed out.

People become angry when they see blood.

If your head is injured, you will lose your mind.

In an instant, the grievances and pain accumulated over the years surged into my heart.

Before this, he was just a nobody who dared not fight back even when two teeth were whipped out by someone. He worked like a cow and a horse to give blood transfusions to the Tiancheng family all his life. In the past, he would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously when he heard the four words "Lord Tiancheng". But now, he just grabbed Lord Tiancheng's neck with both hands and twisted it violently!

The crisp sound of broken bones echoed in everyone's ears.

20. Actually it’s the same

In Lord Yunyang's mansion, Lid was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.

In front of him sat Skadi, the only recognized great magician in the world, the owner of an independent magic workshop, and the "Mistress of Mist". The news of Skadi's coming to Yunyang had caused quite a stir in Yongtian Country. Skadi said that she had recently conducted some research on the demons, and it would be more convenient to come to Yunyang to do it. She herself, like before, had no intention of taking sides.

But everyone knows that if it is about the research of demons, it is undoubtedly a better choice to go to Wanze Territory in the northwest. In addition, Yunyang has used some unknown "explosive weapons" on the battlefield many times recently. The territories have silently tied Skadi and Yunyang together in their hearts, believing that Yunyang's success on the battlefield comes from the various magic devices made with the help of Skadi.

Skadi herself was kept in the dark about all this, or even if she knew, she was too lazy to explain.

According to Lid's observations during this period, Skadi is not a simple little girl. After all, she is old and experienced, and because of her transcendent status at the tenth level, her horizons are much broader than those of ordinary people. But she is definitely not a big sister who is well-versed in personal relationships. Precisely because of her transcendent status, Skadi lacks a lot of "common sense" in this world.

For example, now, when sitting opposite Lid, Skadi stared into Lid's eyes for a long time and uttered:

"You are... Li... Lid."

Although she hesitated a little, Skadi finally called out the name accurately, and a little pride emerged from her usually calm expression. She was not good at memorizing things other than magic, or her brain was already filled with various studies on magic, so she was much slower than others in memorizing and processing things other than magic.

Therefore, even though she heard people from the magic club discussing Lid's deeds every day, Skadi still needed to recall Lid for a long time every time she saw him. This time, the speed at which she could call out Lid's name increased from 3 minutes and 57 seconds to 12 seconds, which she considered a "leap-like" improvement. However, no matter how she looked at it, she could not see any expression of appreciation or surprise on Lid's face, so the little pride in Skadi's heart soon disappeared.

Of course, it wasn't that Reed didn't react, it was because he simply couldn't understand what Skadi was thinking.

Lid came to see Skadi for something else today, so he got straight to the point:

"I have attended one of your classes on the manufacture and triggering of magic mechanisms. I want to know whether this triggering mechanism can be mass-produced in a short period of time?"

When it comes to magic-related stuff, Skadi immediately regains her usual coolness and says very professionally:

"You mean the seal stone? By carving magic on the stone and setting the triggering conditions in advance, it can be used as a trap that is difficult to detect. Different seal stones have different levels of difficulty in making. Which one are you referring to?"

Lid gestured and said:

"For example, the kind that explodes when you step on it."

Skadi frowned slightly:

"You're going to use it in war?"

Although she used a questioning tone, the displeasure in her eyes was obvious.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing, and Lid replied:

"Yes. I plan to set a trap in Anning City, which requires this kind of prop. It does not need to have a strong explosive force, but it needs to be precisely controlled by us. In fact, our factory can also produce items with similar functions, which we call detonators. However, there are not enough assembly lines and skilled workers now, so it will be difficult to produce large quantities of detonators."

When Skadi heard the word "large quantities", his displeasure intensified, and he replied in a cold voice:

"Magic is not for killing people."

Lid said:
