Chapter 923: The Fall of Verus City
No one knows if Sutron is still dreaming, not even Sutron himself doesn't think about it that much. These three thousand people are not elites, and they brought Su Zixiu to let him see the world, after all, they just accepted surrender, they didn't need to fight, and even if they took Zixiu, they wouldn't put him in danger. And Su Hongcang is mainly in charge of the personal guards, and Dian Le is a personal bodyguard, which makes it easy.
In short, Su Tren thought that his arrangements were foolproof and absolutely fine, which was why he couldn't listen to Guo Xing's advice. He felt that even the decision to send Su Rencang to stay in Treon was extremely wise, as if he was the god who ruled over all things, and whatever he did was right and perfect.
As everyone knows, people with such a mentality are more likely to step into the trap, and a nightmare journey has quietly begun! What changed Sutren's fate was his seemingly perfect decision. The terrible opponent has already set up a formation, and has been waiting for him for a long time, like a fishing net cast, waiting for a school of fish to drill. In the eyes of the fisherman, those small fish are not even opponents.
It would be reasonable if Sutron was just lucky, but the premise was that the current Sutron would not consider the possibility of "danger" at all. Along the way, he did not feel any danger or encounter any aggressive creatures, and walked the avenue, unhindered, bypassing the major city-states, and rushing forward in a hurry.
Su Telun is also afraid of Guo Xing's verbosity, Guo Xing in the "housewife" mode, Su Telun doesn't think there is anything good. He marched quickly, just because he didn't want to be caught up by the rear team, even if he couldn't outrun the "phantom dance steps", he didn't want so many people to come and cause trouble.
You might as well enjoy the scenery along the way, a stable and peaceful scene, and it doesn't look like something dangerous will come out. Until he reached the outskirts of Verus City, Sutron didn't see anything aforesitable, and Guo Xing simply scared himself. At least, that's what Sutron thinks. Not to mention the ambush, you can't even feel the murderous aura, except that the outer walls of this city give people a dignified and solemn feeling, which makes the atmosphere seem slightly oppressive, there is nothing that needs special attention.
"Kokura, you first take thirty horsemen to open the way, rush to the city gate, and see how the movement is. Although Sutlon was not worried, for the sake of safety, lest he go back and be gossiped by Guo Xing again.
"Whew!" Su Hongcang took the order and left. In fact, the subordinates are not vigilant, after all, Suterun is full of confidence, and the coach is still like this, how can they not be as relieved as taking a reassuring pill?
It's just a surrender, what's all the fuss? There is no way that there will be an aura that overwhelms him in this vicinity, so he just sat and waited for Guo Xing to slap him in the face. If Guo Xing and the others came along, he would let Guo Xing see how suspicious he was!
The streets of Eshicheng were crowded as usual, as if there had been no previous turmoil. In the daily shopping, Mengyu unloaded his arms, was pulled by Shangguan Lianhua, bought this and that, was fierce and decisive when fighting, and Mengyu, who was more masculine than men, changed into a slightly revealing gorgeous costume, but also showed the unique charm and sexiness of women.
"Sister-sama...... It's the best......" Looking at the costume of the dream fish, the flower seemed to be surrounded by stars, and she was attracted to drool.
Just above Licheng, the blue sky, as if it was just a blink of an eye, was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the light of the day became faint. The black clouds seem to have a strange power to seduce people's hearts, making people feel inexplicably frightened. A cool breeze blows in your face, and dark clouds seem to be waiting for the resonance of the storm.
Far away, ominous breath. Dream Fish looked up at the sky, and his expression instantly became alert. The streets were still full of people, and no one was aware of the demonic aura lurking in the dark clouds, and the invisible face of the devil!
"It's going to change...... Mengyu inhaled unconsciously, his mouth was broken, calm and vigilant.
Shangguan Lianhua came up with a puzzled face, and asked curiously: "What is the change of heaven?Sister, why is your expression so strange?"
"Ah...... It's nothing, I'm too careful......" Dream Fish shook his head, smiled sweetly at Lianhua, and continued to move forward casually.
Indescribably weird, is this really an ordinary sign of rain? Dream Fish couldn't help but ask himself. The power of the dragon soul and the breath of the devil reacted repulsively, and because she couldn't be sure, she had no choice but not to pay attention.
The city of Verus is a desert in the lowlands, surrounded by barren hills, and it is a desolate scene, except for a dense forest in the southeast of the city where troops can ambush, and there is not even a ghost shadow in the rest of the city. According to the sentinel in front, there were several sand sculpture fortresses scattered outside the city, but none of those fortresses were garrisoned by half a soldier, as if they had been abandoned for a long time and were vulnerable.
"Is there anything strange ahead?" After Su Hongcang's reconnaissance team returned, Su Tren asked as if absent-mindedly.
Su Hongcang said: "There is nothing unusual, the white flag on the city tower is clearly visible, the other party has opened the city gate, and the commander Pang Yuan has already led the troops of the orc legion to lay down their weapons and go out of the city to greet them." Those lazy soldiers, I can't feel the slightest sense of their fighting spirit. ”
"Good. It seems that Guo Junshi is indeed too worried, if they want to resist, why bother playing this game? He waved his hand, and the whole army swaggered forward.
At the gate of the city, as Su Hongcang said, the whole army of orcs seemed to be mourning, one by one they were dejected, and Pang Yuan was also disgraced, he couldn't show his domineering spirit at all, he was completely low-voiced, and he didn't hold a weapon in his hand, and he came to surrender at a glance.
Seeing this, Sutlon was complacent, he was arrogant, and he looked like a condescending victor on the horse, with a sneering face, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Pang Yuan, and asked, "Are you going to surrender?"
Pang Yuan was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and then nodded resignedly: "Yes, President Sutron ......"
"Hmph......" Sutron sneered angrily, "You Pang Yuan is a fierce general, and he has made many meritorious deeds under Ma Qingcang, and now you have tens of thousands of troops in Verus City, why don't you surrender without a fight?"
Pang Yuan knew that Sutron looked down on him, but he could only swallow his anger: "No way...... My boss is missing, and I have no leadership skills, so I can only obey President Tianwei and protect my orc race from extinction. ”
"Oh, that's why you surrendered?" Suthren sneered contemptuously, "You hold the fate of the race in your hands, and the last hope of the orcs is all pointed to you Pang Yuan, I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you to be a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death." As a soldier, you have no backbone, even if you surrender, how much can you be worth? cysts, you can only be looked down upon......"
"In order to save the lives of the people, I don't want the lives to be ruined again......"
"Oh, you're going to make excuses for your weakness. Su Tren was full of ridicule, and he was not afraid that Pang Yuan would change his mind and resist stubbornly, "Teach the fate of the clan to others, and you are not afraid that I will exterminate you?"
Pang Yuan endured the anger that soared into the sky, and pretended to be calm and cowardly: "The general trend of the world has been controlled by the president, President Su has the ambition to swallow the sky and the earth, and intends to conquer the world. I firmly believe that the president will not suppress those who obey the destiny of heaven. ”
"That's all there is to it. Sutron smiled, "It's not the way of the strong to compromise and seek perfection in the end, if you still have a little bit of talent, at least you have to resist a few times." If it were me, Sutren, I would definitely fight to the last soldier, and I would not let the clan become slaves of other races, and I would rather exterminate the clan than lose my dignity. In the face of dignity, the so-called humanity is worthless. ”
"Yes, President Tianwei is like this, how dare we resist? If we resist, I am afraid that we will really be wiped out. Once the whole clan is slaughtered after being besieged, how can such a weak person be respected? At most, he will only be pitied a few times in vain. ”
Pang Yuan has been saying some depressing words in a dead voice, and when Su Tren saw this, he deliberately raised his voice, and pretended to threaten: "Then you should be beheaded! Surrender if you don't fight, this kind of boneless waste, this president doesn't need it! Like your masters Zhang Yida and Ma Qingcang, they are all men, even if they are killed by me and lose their armor, they will still fight to the end and will never succumb." You Pang Yuan, you have lost your master's face clean. It's no wonder that this is the fate of being a weak, you just wait for me to slowly trample on that humble self-esteem!"
To surrender is to have the consciousness of being a dog, but Sutrun's taunt is obviously a taboo of surrender. Pang Yuan couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, he was already angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to chop Su Tren with a knife now. It's a pity that he understands Sutron's strength, he is not an opponent, and if he makes a move now, once Sutron successfully counterattacks, they will really be exterminated.
"That...... President Su, we all understand what you mean, but we just hope you can give an accurate answer. Now that you are here, are you willing to accept our surrender?" Pang Yuan continued to "pretend to be a grandson" and asked Sutlon for instructions.
Sutron also knows that "teasing" can be stopped in moderation, and if he continues to be sarcastic, it will not be good if the other party resists desperately. He chuckled lightly and said casually, "Of course, isn't accepting your surrender the purpose of this president's trip?"
The books of the city will be given later. The color of joy, Pang Yuan really couldn't act, he just laughed a few times, and then bowed his head tepidly, "Since the orc tribe was stationed in Verus City, they have not committed any offense against the folk Qiu, and they have not invaded each other with the local human residents, get along well, and have never caused a murderous ......."
"What are you talking about, answer the question......" Sutron smiled again, he didn't care how many evil things the orc clan had done, how many humans had been slaughtered, he only cared about who was right and wrong between him and Guo Xing, he was only thinking about how to slap Guo Xing in the face and make Guo Xing admit in front of him, that's all. As for Pang Yuan and the others, it doesn't matter how they deal with it.
Su Trun's march was too fast, and Xia Yanfeng and Guo Xing couldn't catch up. Although Xia Yanfeng repeatedly asked Guo Xing to perform phantom dance steps, Guo Xing shirked again and again, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.
There is no rivalry ahead, but Guo Xing's face has always been unsightly, and his heart and soul are like tight strings. Xia Yanfeng was still questioning Guo Xing on the galloping road, and when the two horses were side by side, Xia Yanfeng asked: "Big brother, according to the distance, Brother Su must have arrived in Verus City." If they've been plotted, it's too late for us to go, right?"
"We'll see, that's all we can do now. I don't use phantom dance steps, and I don't choose to copy paths, because I know there's no need for that. Guo Xing said, "With President Su's strength, it is impossible for them to directly use ambushes to plot, and without hundreds of thousands of people, they don't even want to get the president." If they really want to carry out a conspiracy, they can only be poisoned. ”
"The premise of poisoning is that they must find an opportunity to surrender directly, and they will have no chance. Xia Yanfeng said suspiciously.
Guo Xing sneered: "Huh...... This group of rats, if they have half of Guo's shrewdness, there is nothing they can't do. They will definitely not show the army to the president at once, they must first invite the chairman to a banquet, and then support the guards such as the general of Kaidian, or let them go to the banquet and drink with them, and this period is the golden period for the chairman to completely relax his vigilance and succeed in the plot, once he is hit, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Then arrive before they go to the banquet!" Xia Yanfeng didn't know if he suddenly realized it, or if he knew it.
Guo Xing was thoughtful: "No...... Their real purpose is only the deployment of President Su and Guo, and it would be good if they could guarantee the bottom line...... It would be fine if they did it at the banquet, but if they weren't, it wouldn't be good......"
