Chapter 309: 179: Kneel in allegiance! Major breakthrough!

The people present were first completely stunned. Everything happened so suddenly, there was hardly any time to speak before the killing started.

"Clash, clash, clash..."

Immediately afterward, the high-ranking Samurai lords and rebel officers drew their swords, aiming to kill Suo Lun directly.

And the officers of the Tianshui City Defense Army stood up abruptly, placing their hands on their sword hilts.

"Don’t move." The Chiliarch of the City Defense Army, Suo Danchen, shouted loudly, "Brothers of the City Defense Army, if you believe my words, don’t move, all sit down."

The Deputy Commander Suo Danyu also shouted loudly, "Yes, if you trust us brothers, then by all means don’t move."

Then, the sixty-odd officers of the City Defense Army all sat back down but remained as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Brothers, rush up and fight with them," shouted an officer from the high-ranking lord’s rebels.

At this moment, over a hundred Samurai from the Suo Family rushed forward and engaged the rebel officers in close combat.

Suo Lun quickly retreated a dozen steps, took the strong bow handed to him by Ye Jingyu, drew the bow and notched an arrow, condensing spiritual power to lock onto the target.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

At this distance, facing a bunch of mid-ranking Samurai, Suo Lun’s black gold arrows claimed a life with each shot.

Moreover, even though his family’s Samurai and the rebel officers were fighting together in chaos, his arrows never missed their mark.

Nai’er, the most skilled in Kung Fu, didn’t make a move, but stood in front of Suo Lun, protecting him.

Suo Danchen and Suo Danyu drew their greatswords and also charged into the fray.

The officers of the City Defense Army had no idea what was going on, but seeing their two big brothers, Suo Danchen and Suo Danyu, rushing in, nearly half drew their swords and stepped forward after slight hesitation.

In an instant, over a hundred men surrounded and attacked forty.

This time, Zhi Ning, Nurdan, and others thought the battlefield would be at Tianlang Pass, so they took their elite troops there. Those who remained in the Heavenly Water Main City were mostly those who had obtained their positions through connections. They were either the sons or the nephews of high-ranking lords, hence it’s easy to imagine how weak their combat strength was.

Because in everyone’s eyes, there would be no battles in the Heavenly Water Main City.

However, the Samurai of Suo Lun’s family and the City Defense Army officers were all elites. And with an average of three against one, the battle was completely one-sided.

In just a few minutes, almost all of the forty rebel officers had been cleanly killed.

"Suo Lun, why? Why didn’t you even give us a chance to speak?" A high-ranking Samurai rebel officer said, "How did you know we wouldn’t surrender? I am a high-ranking Samurai after all."

Only a high-ranking Samurai could become a high-ranking lord.

But not all high-ranking Samurai could become lords; at most one in ten. Centurions and Chiliarchs were the ultimate destinies for the vast majority of high-ranking Samurai.

Therefore, every high-ranking Samurai held themselves in high regard.

"I don’t need to," Suo Lun said indifferently.

Then, the greatswords in the hands of Suo Mu and five others all stabbed towards that high-ranking Samurai officer.

"Stab, stab, stab..."

In a split second, they pierced the man with countless holes, dead beyond any doubt.

The entire conference hall was filled with a stench of blood, corpses strewn all over.

...

Suo Lun returned to his seat and saw the officers of the City Defense Army, their faces filled with confusion and shock.

Half of them had followed Suo Danchen and others into the fray, but were still clueless about what had happened. Where had Lord Suo Hanyi gone? Why was Suo Lun here?

"Suo Hanyi is dead," said Suo Lun, uttering what must have sounded like a bolt from the blue.

Then, Yang Hongyi opened the wooden box she was holding, inside which was Suo Hanyi’s head.

All the officers of the City Defense Army drastically changed expression, instinctively drawing their swords.

"Don’t, for the love of everything, don’t draw your swords..." Suo Danchen yelled loudly.

By now, he had come to understand Suo Lun a bit, a man both ruthless and utterly impatient. Suo Lun was already quite dissatisfied with the City Defense Army’s loyalty to Suo Hanyi. If these officers drew their swords against Suo Lun, there would be no opportunity—it would end with him executing these men without a second thought.

"Brothers, listen to my words, don’t draw your swords at all costs," Suo Danchen stepped forward, stood in front of Suo Lun, showing his stance, and implying he would take a sword for him if needed.

Of course, his shielding Suo Lun didn’t mean he had a deep affection for Suo Lun, but because this stance could make Suo Lun show mercy to the brothers of the City Defense Army.

Suo Lun continued, "Suo Hanyi conspired with Commandery Princess Zhi Ning and Nurdan, betraying the Suo family to usurp the throne. He even killed his own mentor, who is also your Deputy Commander Lord Yan Nu, and his wife, Mrs. Yang Hongyi..."

"Impossible, you’re lying, talking nonsense..." Suddenly, a young Centurion pointed at Suo Lun and yelled, interrupting him.

Suo Lun didn’t speak, just looked at him calmly.

The young Centurion, reckless and fearless, continued to stubbornly retort.

Suo Danyu, however, was scared out of his wits and rushed forward, slapping the young Centurion’s face repeatedly, then kicked him to the ground, forcing him to kneel.

"My lord, this is Suo Linyu, he’s young and ignorant, I beg you to spare his life, please spare him!" Deputy Commander Suo Danyu immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing desperately.

"Give me a reason," Suo Lun said calmly.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu stepped forward, drawing her curved knife. If Suo Lun did not rescind the command, this young Suo Linyu’s life would be forfeit.
