"Marquis, please spare the people of Wuyue County. We will unconditionally surrender as long you willing to give us a road to live." the magistrate official from White Jade Town said. He was the highest-ranking official amongst everyone else here.

As long as Qin Lan gave an order, the ten thousand soldiers standing outside of the City of Yue will storm inside and start slaughtering them mercilessly.

Their situation is no different from standing on top of a thin sheet of ice. The slightest hint of movement was all it needs to decide what is the outcome.
