Capítulo 1724: Chapter 545: The Eve
The next day.
The rebellion in the Lost City has been suppressed, and order has been restored.
Central square area.
City Lord Otain sat in the chair with a face as grim as water, while Jikol Corps Commander and Hovido stood on either side.
Soldiers clad in Exoskeleton Armor and holding weapons surrounded the entire square.
Outside the square, an innurable crowd had gathered to watch.
At this mont, Hovido picked up the list of captives and called out.
“ng Lao…..”
Soon, soldiers brought up ng Lao and his subordinates, the boss of the Black Death Society, lined up in a row.
“Lord Otain, I was wrong! Please let us go.”
ng Lao imdiately pleaded with City Lord Otain.
“Hmph, traitor, kill them!”
Otain coldly raised his hand and waved.
“No!”
ng Lao and his n shouted in terror.
At this mont, soldiers raised their guns and pulled the trigger at ng Lao and his n’s heads!
Bang bang!
In an instant, ng Lao and his n’s heads burst open, white fluid and blood splattering everywhere.
The crowd outside the square chanted excitedly.
“Good kill!”
…
Otain coldly spoke.
“Next batch!”
“Lu Ang….”
Hovido continued reading nas from the list.
Batch after batch of captives were brought up for execution, with bodies piling into a small hill.
The ti soon reached noon.
Hovido read out the last batch of captives from the list.
“Fergus….”
Fergus and his subordinates were dragged up in disgrace.
The onlookers, seeing the culprit, shouted with angry face.
“Kill him!”
…
Otain looked at Fergus and coldly mocked.
“Fergus, weren’t you arrogant and trying to kill ? Now you’re in my hands.”
“Indeed, I intended to kill you, but will you dare to kill ? I am a prince of the Dark Star Empire, representing the Empire. If you dare to touch , the Empire will surely wipe out the entire Land of Lost!”
Fergus raised his head to look at Otain, speaking with extre arrogance.
As these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions on site froze.
Otain’s expression also turned extrely unpleasant. Though Fergus was incredibly arrogant, he wasn’t wrong.
If they killed him, the Dark Star Empire would indeed be furious and send troops to destroy the Land of Lost.
Once he saw Otain silent, Fergus displayed an egotistical expression.
But at this mont, a voice rang out.
“And what about ?”
Fergus, Otain, and the others froze in shock, turning their heads to look.
The soldiers of the Land of Lost made way.
Su Ming, dressed in a Grand General Uniform, entered with Ankaga and Zhang Yi, among others.
“Su, Su Ming….”
Upon seeing Su Ming, Fergus’s face showed extre fear, his body starting to tremble.
He could intimidate Otain, but not Su Ming.
“General Su Ming.”
Otain quickly got up from the throne and greeted politely.
“City Lord Otain, Fergus wants to kill you, yet he’s so arrogant, why not fulfill his wish?”
Su Ming smiled and spoke to Otain.
“This….”
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Otain’s expression froze.
“City Lord Otain, with everyone watching, are you going to back down? Besides, with supporting you, do you dare not kill him?”
Su Ming looked at Otain and spoke calmly.
He wanted to force Otain to kill Fergus and completely break with the Dark Star Empire.
Otain’s expression continued to change; originally, he only intended to scare Fergus, not kill him, but now he was at a crossroads.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Otain.
Otain steeled his heart, a look of ruthlessness crossing his eyes, pulling out the gun at his waist and aiming it at Fergus.
“No, please don’t!”
Fergus shouted in fear, lacking his earlier arrogance.
Whoosh!
Otain pulled the trigger.
Instantly, Fergus’s head was pierced through, his body falling to the ground.
The crowd erupted in excited cheers.
“Long live the Lord City Master!”
….
After killing Fergus, Otain took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, then turned to Su Ming and said.
“Lord Su Ming, apologies for letting you witness this spectacle.”
“How could that be?”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Lord Su Ming, I’ve prepared a banquet at the mansion. May I invite you to honor us with your presence?”
Otain invited nervously.
Having killed Fergus, he had to quickly gain the Federation’s protection, or the Land of Lost would truly be in danger.
“Alright!”
Su Ming understood what Otain wanted and promptly agreed.
“This way, please!”
Quickly, Otain said as Su Ming accepted.
…
Monts later.
Inside the dining hall at the City Lord Mansion.
The circular dining table was adorned with various delicacies and fine wines.
Su Ming, Otain, and Jikol sat at the table.
Otain raised a glass of wine and smiled at Su Ming.
“Lord Su Ming, without your intervention, the Land of Lost would be finished. This glass is to you!”
“Alright!”
Su Ming raised his glass and clinked it with Otain before downing it in one go!
Jikol also raised a glass of wine, addressing Su Ming.
“Lord Su Ming, I’ve heard from Novlin and Alfaku about your many assists to our Holy Army. We deeply appreciate it, and I toast to you!”
“Lord Jikol, no need to be so polite.”
Su Ming poured another drink and clinked glasses with Jikol.
The two cheerily downed their drinks.
After a few glasses, the atmosphere suddenly beca lively.
Otain spoke to Su Ming.
“Lord Su Ming, we are re brutes, not skilled in elegant words, but if you ever need us for anything, just say the word!”
