I'm bad, but players love me

At Yun Shuo's command, bullets rained down like a torrential rain. Gou Zi, on the side, used a scope to shoot each child one by one, just like playing a shooting game.

A convoy of supplies had just passed by in front when a large convoy of soldiers behind it was caught off guard by sudden bullets and people and horses were thrown to the ground.

The supply convoy panicked when it saw the convoy behind it being attacked. The terrified groom wanted to surrender, but with a gun pressed against her head, all she could do was repeatedly raise her whip.

From the outset, this was a one-way mission. As long as supplies could be delivered to the besieged Kori army, their lives were of no concern.

But fate seemed to be on her side.

Turning around, they saw another ELO team aiming their guns at their horses, as if to ask them to guess who would die first, you or the horse.

"I surrender, don't kill me!" The groom immediately became cowardly as expected. She crawled towards ELO and hid behind him. For a moment, she didn't know who the ferocious rebel was.

The person who was pointing at the groom was also confused.

I've never seen this kid run so fast on weekdays!

Although she also had a gun, it was only one after all. The ELO team in front of her had at least a dozen people. She could still tell which ones were more important.

She looked at the dozen or so guns pointed at her, and recalled how she had acted arrogantly in front of those civilians.

ELO is a team composed of civilians who have been bullied by her, and now she has fallen into their hands. How can she believe that they will not retaliate a thousandfold?

If you don't die now, the ending will be a life worse than death.

She smiled sadly, and committed suicide by swallowing a gun right under the eyes of the ELO members.

The soldiers at the back finally managed to climb out of the overturned carriage. Some of them even raised their hands tremblingly to express surrender as soon as they came out. However, there were still many soldiers who wanted to fight to the death and were ready to rush forward, but before they could take a few steps, they were shot in the head by Gouzi.

With a few more gunshots, a few more people died, and the rest became quiet.

ELO members came from all directions and surrounded the remaining soldiers.

Yun Shuo took the lead and walked in front, shouting loudly: "Surrender your guns and you will not be killed. Everyone, hold your heads and squat at the back." His voice was sonorous and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

As everyone was happily counting the supplies, their hearts were filled with joy - after all, there were no casualties, and a large amount of supplies were harvested, so it could be said to be a great success!

Suddenly, the system popped up without warning, "Host, Ella is going to capture Sataish. Should we help?"

"Who? Who's arresting whom?" Yun Shuo was also confused. "How did Setaishi get exposed? Doesn't Ella trust him very much?"

【He was betrayed by Luo Lan.】

Saitaishi never took Luo Lan seriously.

The huge amount of money and the charges of corruption were enough to keep Luo Lan in his own camp for the rest of his life - that's what Setash always thought.

But he overlooked one thing. In stark contrast to him, Luo Lan had always been a sheltered child.

When her mother was still alive, she was the only daughter in the family and had all the love of her parents. They held her in their mouths for fear that she would melt, and held her in their hands for fear that she would fall.

After her mother died, the housekeeper protected her well. She still didn't have to worry about anything and just had to play there.

How could a child who grew up with so much love only see benefits?

Luo Lan could punch and kick the servants without a care in the world, and could even pour tea and throw food at them just because she was in a bad mood, but she would never do that to the housekeeper.

So when Fati brought Ella to her house, the only thing Luo Lan could be thankful for was that she was still useful. She was very gossipy and knew a lot of information.

At least she could save her own life and that of her housekeeper, and the price was just betraying Setash and giving up the money. It was a great deal.

Ella waved her hand. "Don't say anything unnecessary. Fati told me a long time ago that Setash has been involved with ELO for a long time. But what I want to know is..."

Those scarlet eyes stared at Luo Lan like a snake, "I want solid evidence."

"The director of the factory that manufactures weapons is from ELO. Although the name on the contract is Willis, when we went to check, it was Yun Shuo who signed it." The butler behind him followed Luo Lan's words and handed the evidence to Ella one by one.

Ella was silent for a moment. She began to recall the various interactions between herself and Yun Shuo, and her thoughts were intertwined in her mind.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the contract, she laughed out of anger.

Father, I was right, Yun Shuo... he is really a capable man!

When exactly had he connected with Setash? Their identities were so different that it seemed the only occasion they could have met was at that banquet—the banquet she had forced Yun Shuo into.

Ella still felt unwilling, and she spoke again: "When did they...?"

The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back. She knew how absurd the question sounded.

If it weren't for Saitaishi's help from behind, how could Yun Shuo have escaped so smoothly? The two of them formed an alliance from then on, and even the most dull-witted person could see through the reason at a glance.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the chaotic emotions in her heart. She knew that asking further questions would be useless and would only make herself more upset.

"ELO's leader truly has everything planned out." Ella's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and subtle resentment. "It seems Yun Shuo holds a very special position in ELO. He must be a core member without a doubt."

After all, being able to persuade the commander-in-chief to form a direct alliance with Setash must require a high level of trust.

Huh? This time it was Luo Lan's turn to be confused, so confused that she even forgot to think through her words. She quickly retorted, "No, Yun Shuo is not an ordinary member, he is the commander of ELO."

"Commander? You said he is the commander?" Ella repeated Luo Lan's words, her voice full of surprise and confusion.

An inexplicable anger surged in her heart, and she felt that Yun Shuo had tricked her.

She could almost imagine Yun Shuo's smug face after he returned to ELO, the expression as if everything was under his control.

Just like when Yun Shuo mocked her at the beginning, “How can there be a favor that the rescuer doesn’t mention, but the rescued keeps talking about it all the time?” Yun Shuo was the first person who dared to speak to her like that.

When she thought of this, Ella couldn't control her expression. She clenched her teeth and said viciously, "How do you know he is the commander?" Her voice was full of anger and confusion, as if she wanted to find the answer from Luo Lan.

Luo Lan looked at Ella's clearly faltering expression, and a surge of fear welled up in her heart. She replied cautiously, "It's his men who call him that. You... don't you know?"

Although Luo Lan himself did not mean this, the words he said inexplicably made Ella feel a hint of irony.

Yes, don’t you know?

These words, like an invisible hammer, hit Ella's heart hard, making her fall into shock in an instant.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was laughing at her. Everyone knew the secret that she had never touched upon, except her, who claimed to be a qualified city lord. She was like an ignorant clown, kept in the dark, and still self-righteously dancing ridiculous steps.

She felt her cheeks burning, her mind in a mess, caught off guard by this sudden truth, and the flames of shame and anger burning in her heart.

The ELO commander whom Ella had painstakingly tracked down and intercepted, the enemy whom she hated so deeply that she couldn't sleep at night, had been lingering around her so blatantly for so long, and she had never realized the important identity hidden behind him.

And she was still there, happily showing people around, happily showing off the treasures in her arsenal, and sharing the blueprints and secrets of new machinery.

At that time, she was filled with joy, but she had never thought about the conspiracy and danger hidden behind all this.

Ella was silent for a moment, then she took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotions in her heart.

What she needed now was to calm down and think about her next move, so she continued to ask, "Besides you, how many other people know about this?"

"Everyone in Lord Setaishi's camp basically knows about this."

Luo Lan's face flushed with embarrassment. Recalling how the secret had been revealed, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She knew that she was always too careless in her words and could easily leak secrets.

This time is no exception. Most people in Lord Setash's camp already know this secret.

Although Lord Setash once warned her not to negotiate with people outside the camp at will, he did not impose too many restrictions on people within the camp.

So what kind of person was Luo Lan? She loved gossiping behind people's backs and had tea parties whenever she had nothing to do. She could talk about any topic endlessly, not to mention those embarrassing things she had to say.

The "ELO Horror Theory" came from her mouth. In her mouth, Yun Shuo had become a hideous monster with a green face and fangs, who ate people without leaving any bones. Moreover, he came and went like the wind and could appear anywhere.

Ella closed her eyes slightly, trying to banish Yun Shuo's distraction from her mind. She knew that the focus now was not on her personal emotions and entanglements, but on finding irrefutable evidence of Setash's rebellion.

"Never mind, none of this matters. We're here solely to gather evidence of Setash's rebellion. Luo Lan, I hope you can remain so obedient."

"Of course." Luo Lan immediately lowered his head and saluted respectfully, with a humble expression on his face as if he had come to the right path.

But when she stood up, her eyes subconsciously turned to Fati, who had been standing behind Ella without saying a word.

There was always a faint smile on Fati's lips. After meeting Luo Lan's timid gaze, she nodded slightly, which made Luo Lan feel relieved.

Luo Lan's heart was filled with doubts. She really didn't understand why Fati made such a choice. The city lord was still unaware of Lord Setash's actions, but Fati was already eager to bring Lord Setash down.

In Luo Lan's view, the greatest advantage of the neutral faction lies in its very nature. As long as they can maintain this impartial stance, they can safely protect their interests no matter how the situation changes. However, once they choose to side with one side, the situation becomes completely different.

Not only will they become enemies with one side, but the other side will not favor her, because they already have allies, so why should they let the benefits go to you, a two-faced person?

Luo Lan really didn't understand why Fati would do such a thankless task. In her eyes, Fati had always been a smart and rational person, but this behavior made her feel very puzzled.

Was Fati really so blinded by hatred that she made such an unwise choice? But she didn't seem to care about Mina at all.

Could it be that Lord Setash didn't want Fati to take over Mina's property? But Mina's wealth wasn't so huge that anyone would be jealous, was it?

But she didn't have the chance to ask such a question, because the task of eliminating dissidents had to be completed as quickly and decisively as lightning, without any hesitation or delay.

After obtaining the accurate information from Luo Lan, Ella's heart was like a burning fire. She went straight to Setash's manor without hesitation.

The quiet and elegant manor was now surrounded by heavy troops, as if a huge net was tightening silently and wrapping the manor tightly.

Setash remained completely clueless. He sat in his spacious study, flipping through battle reports from the front lines, a smug smile on his face.

The front line was reporting frequent "good news" - ELO was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, beating the Corey army back step by step and making them unable to fight back.

"Lord Setash! Please evacuate this place immediately!" The housekeeper rushed into the room breathlessly, her hair disheveled from her rapid running, her eyes filled with anxiety and panic. "Time is running out, we must leave immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"What's wrong?" Setash frowned and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Even if ELO were to descend from the sky like a miracle, they wouldn't attack us right now, right? Besides, we're allies with them, so there's no reason to panic.

"The city lord has led his troops to surround this place. We must evacuate as soon as possible!" The housekeeper urged anxiously, waving her hands constantly, trying to instill the urgency of the situation into Setash. Her eyes were full of worry, and it was clear that the severity of the situation had far exceeded her expectations.

Setash was horrified when he heard this and could hardly believe his ears. "What on earth is going on? Did Ella send any news? Did she attack directly? Or..." His words were full of confusion and fear.

His hands gripped the edge of the wooden table tightly. "What is Ella going to do? Am I exposed?"

"The city lord didn't say anything, he just suddenly surrounded this place with his troops. If we don't flee now, we really can't escape. Lord Setaishi, run!"

The housekeeper was still there, trying to persuade her earnestly, but even now, her hands were still shaking uncontrollably. She had lived a life of luxury for so many years, and she had never witnessed such a thrilling scene.

"Escape? Where to? We're all surrounded. You expect me to fly?" Setash slammed the table, his voice filled with impatience. He turned his head, glaring at the panicked housekeeper, and shouted, "What the hell is in your head? Is running the only thing you can do when you encounter trouble?"

The butler was frightened by his sudden scolding and his face turned even paler.

She knew that her panic at the moment was really inappropriate, but the unprecedented fear made her almost lose the ability to think.

She could only stand there, her lips moving but unable to utter a complete sentence.

"I have to stay, otherwise I will really become a fugitive. I can't just go to my end in a muddle, never." Setash's hand slid from the desk, and with this movement, piles of documents scattered to the ground like fallen autumn leaves.

He shook his head nervously, his eyes flashing with an almost crazy persistence and determination, and whispered through gritted teeth: "I can't die like this!"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, then straightened his slightly messy clothes and put on a gentle face.

Saitaishi's expression suddenly changed, and he softly ordered, "Butler, go prepare afternoon tea. We must treat the city lord, our distinguished guest, well, and we cannot neglect anything."

As he finished speaking, the butler responded respectfully and turned to leave.

Setash stood there, looking deeply at the sky outside the window, but he couldn't stop feeling panic in his heart.

What should I do? Am I really going to just stay here and wait for death?

Chapter 86: I hooked up with ELO to save Corrie City

Setash had indeed planted a number of his own men in the Kori army, but the problem was that the fool Ella had left almost no defensive forces. All the troops that could be dispatched, including those close to Setash, had already been sent to the front.

Regardless of whether we can get in touch with them, even if we succeed in contacting them, these soldiers are now scattered outside like stars in the sky.

It is simply a fantasy to want to gather them all back in a short period of time to rescue Setaishi!

There is even less hope for ELO. Although they are allies, they have ulterior motives against each other.

Besides, considering the state of ELO's communications, getting through on the phone was a miracle, so how could anyone expect to communicate smoothly? Furthermore, getting into the noble district was a major problem.

The Cori army can still reasonably return to the noble district, saying that there is something going on. Are you, ELO, planning to fight directly from the slums to the noble district to rescue people?

By that time, it was not a question of whether Yun Shuo still wanted to save Sai Taishi, but whether Sai Taishi could be saved by Yun Shuo.

After all, the grass on his grave is probably two meters high. If Yun Shuo wants to save people, he has to learn the "art of resurrection".

Of course, the premise is that Ella is not so angry that she is unwilling to even prepare a burial place for Setash.

However, at this moment, Setash could not think of any better solution.

He sighed helplessly, then turned around, rang the bell, and told the butler who had been waiting outside to come in after returning. "Immediately communicate with everyone you can contact. Once you've made contact, bring a dessert immediately. If I ask for more tea later, have them rush in."

Of course, the premise is that they really have people who can rush in and fight.

Setash is still not sure how much Ella knows, nor is he sure whether Ella intends to punish him severely or just bury his body here, so he must prepare for the worst.

Regardless, the Cori Army had to be contacted. As for the next move, whether to rush in to rescue them or simply walk around the aristocratic district and leave, it all depended on Ella's plans.

A sharp glint flashed in Setash's eyes. After all, he was a believer favored by the God of Machines. Although his strength was still far behind Ella's, he could at least make her suffer.

He was indeed afraid of losing everything, but if it really came to that, he would never sit idly by and wait for death, even if it meant a desperate struggle. Only then did the butler begin to explain the true purpose of his visit, his voice trembling with a subtle tremor. "Lord Setaishi, the city lord has accepted your invitation for afternoon tea."
