After figuring out the real reason why the Giant Waterfall City sent troops to attack the Underworld, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Song Liangcai: "The Underworld Harbor is also the first time to be the owner of the port, and I don't know that there is such a rule. In this case, if it is a mutually beneficial exchange, we are also happy to establish diplomatic relations with Giant Waterfall City, and this etiquette can be supplemented! ”

"Supplement? How can I make up for it now? Song Liangcai sneered again, "Unless, you surrender the city immediately, maybe the king of Yama and our city lord will not blame the past and can spare your life!" ”

My face darkened, and I replied: "Since it is a peace talk, how can you say that you want to surrender and sacrifice the city?" You can make conditions, but don't want the lion to open his mouth! ”

"You take the initiative to talk first, and we send troops to talk, it's completely different things! Otherwise, could it be that our dozens of warships and thousands of soldiers are here for sightseeing? Until now, you won't be able to hold on to this wall for long! ”

Song Liangcai kept speaking sarcastically, and his expression was even more disdainful, which provoked Liu Han, who was sitting next to me, couldn't hold back anymore, so he also sneered: "So many of you people have come all the way to travel, and you have lost hundreds of small lives, and you are not very reliable as the head of the tour group!" ”

When Song Liangcai heard this, he was immediately annoyed, stood up and slapped the table and shouted: "Since you want to talk, you have to show sincerity!" Otherwise, we'll fight again, and see if it's your hard mouths or our swords? ”

"Smack!" Liu Han also slapped the table and shouted, "Who is afraid of whom? Hit the punch! Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving! ”

"Humph! I don't know what to do! Bite off more than one can chew! ”

Song Liangcai and his lieutenant pushed away the chairs with grim faces and walked away. Of course, the peace talks have failed.

When Liu Han and I also returned to the city, Wang Shou, the sarcastic ghost and others also rushed up to ask about the situation. After listening to our account of the peace talks, the sarcastic ghost complained about Liu Han: "Boss, you are really!" What pole do you carry with him? Finally, it was said that they could sit down and negotiate, even if we gave in one more step, we could avoid a big war, and we could kill a lot of people and a lot of ghosts! ”

Liu Han was still angry, so he grabbed the sarcastic ghost by the collar and pulled him up, scolding: "You have a lot of ghost ideas, but you don't want to be cheeky!" This is a humiliating thing for the city, can you give in? ”

"Woooooooooooo Let go! Strangled me! The mocker was swept into the air, his feet off the ground, and he struggled incessantly.

Only then did I go over and persuade Liu Han to let go of the sarcastic ghost, and then said to it: "Liu Han is right, in this kind of matter of honor and dignity, it is indeed more important than life and death!" Besides, I don't think the other side has the sincerity to negotiate peace at this time, so we still have to give him a little more hardship, so that we can have enough negotiating capital in our hands next time. ”

"But we have serious losses in our soldiers, and we don't even have enough troops to fight, so how can we fight this battle?" The sarcastic ghost was still a little dissatisfied after he got off the ground, spread his hands, and asked me with wide eyes.

I pondered for a moment, then said, "Then all the people are soldiers!" They only came with 3,000 people, and we have a population of 4,000 in the Harbor, so we are afraid that we won't be able to defeat him? ”

"Huh? Are you going to catch a strong man? This, this, is that good? The sarcastic ghost was taken aback.

Catching strong men is something that only warlords and bandits can do, and I, the lord of Hakharbour, have always treated people with a generous image, which is not my style at all. Therefore, as soon as this remark came out, even Liu Han, Wang Shou and others were embarrassed.

But I shook my head firmly and said, "We don't engage in forced conscription, just let me convince them!" ”

On the second day, the army of Mighty Waterfall City attacked the city gate again. In addition, according to the report of the reconnaissance speedboat sent by the sea, the fleet of ships docked in Estuary Town of Mighty Waterfall City has also left the port and is heading towards the harbor. Obviously, Song Liangcai wanted to rely on his superiority in strength to advance by land and water, and attack Hades Harbor at both ends.

Hades Harbor is in a hurry!

Without further ado, I ordered the Mockery Ghost to send people to beat gongs and drums to summon the people of the city to the square, and I myself took the stage to call on the people of the city to actively apply for the battle to defend the harbor.

At the beginning, when Zuoqiu City was facing Zechao, the Zuoqiu City Lord also appeared to speak at a critical moment to stabilize the situation. But I don't have the momentum and prestige of his now, and I don't want to use coercion to ask the people of the city to join the army and kill the enemy. Therefore, after talking for a long time, there were still few people in the recruitment office under the stage, and most of the city residents were still in a state of panic and wait-and-see.

At this time, my master and Boss Su also came, and they stood in the audience to listen to my speech. When I saw them, I seemed to have enough confidence, so I didn't give up, but continued to know them, move them with reason, and speak out.

After listening for a while, the master walked straight to the recruiting office in public, knocked on the table and said to the officials sitting in the back, "I am willing to enlist in the army!" You remember: Feng Daozhang, male, one hundred and one years old, the fourth major cultivation of Yin Xiu, good at using kitchen knives, can be used as an army! ”

"Master!" I was stunned, I never expected that after spending a long time talking on this stage, the first person to say that it was my elderly master!

It's been two years since my master came to Hadeshaven, and he has long regarded Hadesport as his new home. The "Guishan Restaurant" he opened set up a collection of yin meals and ghost meals, and at the same time received yin cultivators and ghosts, and the business was very prosperous. Many people in the Underworld also know him, and know that he is the master of the harbor master, the dishes are delicious, and he is kind and kind, and he has a lot of prestige in the Underworld. Now seeing that he took the initiative to apply, I couldn't help but be moved.

Moreover, since the master decided to return to his old business, he also seems to have untied the knot in his heart, and even took out a lot of high-end yin food and ghost meal recipes at the bottom of the box, which are very popular with diners. Many wealthy diners even came from Giant Waterfall City, Thousand Island City, and even Snake Bay, just to taste the food he cooked. He definitely has a part of the credit for the second take-off of the Stygian Harbor economy.

"Boss Su! Are you coming? The master signed, left his handprint, and turned back to call Boss Su.

Boss Su's face was embarrassed, he hesitated, still a little hesitant, and said, "I, hehe, I haven't fought before, let me think about it again......"

Master's application gave me greater confidence, and looking at the black and oppressive crowd of people in the audience, almost all of them were ghosts, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Look at your side, more than 90% of the population of Hades Harbor are ghosts!" Although I, the master of Hong Kong, am a yin cultivator, it doesn't mean that I don't consider the position of ghost cultivator. On the contrary, from the beginning of the city's establishment, Hades Harbor has taken the abolition of slavery as the foundation of the city, emphasizing the equality of humans and ghosts, and the mutual assistance of yin and yang! ”

"Back then, when my master was teaching me Yin Gong, he said to me, 'Yin cultivation is actually a guardian who wanders between yin and yang. We also want to help ghosts when we help people, we also want to save ghosts when we save people, and we love ghosts when we love people! Today, I promise you in front of my Master that in my harbor, all men and ghosts will always be equal! ”

"Good!"

When the people in the audience heard this, Fang Shi was moved by my words, and they all applauded and cheered. But it's useless to just applaud, you have to pour a spoonful of oil on the fire!

"But this is not the case in Giant Waterfall City, the slave market in their city is hot, and hundreds of ghost slaves are sold every day. Every trading house, every fleet, and even every household kept slaves, enslaved and exploited, and drove at will, and the slightest misfortune was whipped and tortured! Ghosts are guilty of killing people, and people are not guilty of killing ghosts! ”

"Many of you have been ghost slaves, oppressed and discriminated against. Are you still willing to make cattle and horses and be enslaved by others? ”

Sure enough, the audience immediately erupted into a huge roar: "No! ”

"Now outside the city is the army of Mighty Waterfall, and they don't just want to occupy the harbor, but also rule the harbor. Once the harbor falls, what will happen to you? Do you want Stygian Harbor to fall into the hands of Mighty Falls? ”

"No!"

"Stygian Harbor is your home! Stygian is your umbrella! Hades is your freedom! Are you willing to fight for your freedom? ”

"Yes!"

After I delivered such an impassioned speech, Boss Su, who was still hesitating, couldn't help but be encouraged, jumped up and shouted: "Although I am a human being, not a ghost, this Hong Kong lord's words are too good!" Whether it's a human or a ghost, it's all born by my parents! There are even many ghosts who are our ancestors and ancestors, why should people discriminate against ghosts? Come, die and die! Defend the harbor, count me in! ”

After that, he also went to the recruiting office to sign up. Someone took the lead in setting an example, and the mood of the masses that had just been stirred up suddenly had a clear guidance, and the recruitment office, which was originally a little deserted, was immediately surrounded by the people who came to sign up, and there were many conscripts!

Young men in the ghost cultivators have signed up to join the reserves, either to replace the wounded soldiers to fight the enemy, or to help repair fortifications and ships. In just one day, the combat strength of the Stygian Harbor doubled at once. Since my master and Boss Su were both good in cultivation and strength, they were arranged to lead a team of ghost cultivation reserves to assist in defending the land city gate.

The old, weak, sick and disabled who were unable to participate in the war also actively donated money and materials to supplement logistical support, transport combat materials, and rescue the wounded. At this time, the harbor of the underworld truly achieved the unity of the whole city and fought against the strong enemy. I have finally succeeded in boosting the morale of the citizens of the city, making them feel that their future and destiny have been firmly bound to the harbor, and they will defend it to the death as much as I do!

With the full support of the city's citizens, the troops of Stygian Harbor repelled the third and fourth attacks of Waterfall City in succession, not only successfully securing the land gates, but also repelling the fleet of Waterfall City in the naval battle.

After this battle, more than half of the dozens of warships in Giant Waterfall City were destroyed, and more than 1,000 soldiers were also lost, but it was still unbearable. In desperation, Song Liangcai had no choice but to order both the land and water armies to withdraw to Hekou Town to rest and recuperate, and make plans for the next day.

Unexpectedly, this break turned out to be half a month without movement. I estimate that Song Liangcai is also in a dilemma at this time, he can neither gnaw the hard bone of the Underworld, nor dare to return home, otherwise he will not be able to explain after returning to the Giant Waterfall City.

Finally, one day half a month later, the flagship of Mighty Waterfall City drove out of the harbor alone and sent a speedboat to deliver the word. Hehe, this time it's Song Liang's turn to take the initiative to ask for peace talks!
