When the city lord issued an order for all the tauren to release their slaves, the entire Lone Moon City rioted!
Slaves were the private property of the minotaurs, so how could they be confiscated at will? Furthermore, the city lord was also required to provide food to the humans, something no minotaur would tolerate! They were used to a life of ease and comfort. Without slaves and food, would they be forced to toil in the fields?
All the minotaurs gathered to protest, and some even took the lead in preparing to remove the city lord from his position. After all, the dignity and honor of the minotaurs are sacred and inviolable!
The city lord had long expected this to happen, and he immediately put all the blame on Princess Wenqin.
Princess Wenqin was helpless in the face of the Minotaur's fierce reaction. It could not be explained in words at all. No one would willingly give up their own interests.
"Princess, if you minotaurs are all so selfish, it will be difficult for our human army to rush to the front line to support us." Long Junhai said slowly. This kind of problem was very easy to solve for him, but it was difficult to do it for the other party.
Princess Wenqin took a deep breath and said seriously, "Give me ten days! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Okay, I hope the princess won't let me down." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Very well, I will go to the imperial capital right now and personally convince my father to agree to all your conditions!"
Princess Wenqin knew that this matter could not be delayed. The sooner it was resolved, the sooner the crisis of the empire could be eliminated.
After Princess Wenqin took all the guards and left Gu Yue City, Long Junhai's face showed an evil smile again. He led his people directly to the City Lord's Mansion. Now was the time for him to take action!
"Ask your city lord to come out. I have something to say to him."
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Long Junhai was stopped by a group of guards.
"Hmph! You lowly humans are not worthy of seeking an audience with the City Lord!" said the leading guard with great contempt.
Long Junhai narrowed his eyes and took a step forward to stand in front of the opponent. Without any unnecessary movement, the dagger at his waist had already pierced the opponent's throat!
The whole movement was as smooth as flowing water. Long Junhai looked around and asked with a smile: "Who can help me invite your city lord out?"
"I! I'll go!"
A fairly clever minotaur guard immediately stumbled into the city lord's mansion, and the remaining guards looked at Long Junhai with horror.
Although the Minotaur are physically strong, most of them are gentle and do not like fighting. In addition, there has been no war in this remote area close to the wilderness for many years, and people who have not experienced the trials of life and death have no blood in their veins.
A moment later, the city lord hurried out, escorted by a group of guards. Upon seeing Long Junhai, he immediately said respectfully, "Sir, our people have offended us before. I hope you can forgive us!"
"Anyway, the man is already dead, so I won't bother with him. I'm here to inform you that all humans in this Lonely Moon City must be handed over, all food must be handed over, and all houses must be handed over!" Long Junhai stared at the other party with sharp eyes, and the vague murderous aura on his body made people feel terrified.
The city lord knew that Long Junhai had the ability to kill people without them being seen, so he was particularly worried that the other party would kill him in anger!
"My Lord Chief! I will certainly do as you say! But as you've seen before, the people here simply don't want to listen to me! How about you wait a few days? Princess Wenqin will come back and give you a satisfactory answer!"
This city lord is very smooth and never takes responsibility. He is much smarter than other minotaurs.
Long Junhai stared at the other person with a smile, then said, "What's your name?"
"In reply to the chief, my surname is Yuan and my given name is Fang." The city lord said nervously.
"Yuan Fang? Haha, I think you should be called smooth! Don't try your tricks in front of me. I'll give you one stick of incense to inform all the minotaurs to obey my orders. Otherwise, I'll massacre the whole city."
As soon as the words fell, all the minotaurs present were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Long Junhai dared to say these two words! You know, this is the minotaur's territory!
But no minotaur dared to disobey Long Junhai because they were all afraid of death!
"Chief! One stick of incense is too short! It is not enough to notify every minotaur!" Yuan Fang knew that Long Junhai was serious, so he was trembling with fear.
"Don't waste your time here. An incense stick will pass quickly."
After saying this, Long Junhai sat down on the chair at the door, closed his eyes and rested, not caring about anything else.
Yuan Fang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He immediately shouted to the people around him, "You guys, notify every citizen as quickly as possible! Quick, quick, quick!"
"City Lord! Lonely Moon City is so huge, there's simply not enough time!"
"Get out! Save as many people as you can! Blow the horn! Gather everyone here! Go!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and Yuan Fang felt that the scythe of the god of death was about to fall on the head of every minotaur. Apart from praying, he really had done his best!
At this moment, Lonely Moon City was in chaos. When people first heard that the human army was about to massacre the city, they sneered. But after seeing some neighbors actually freeing their slaves, others began to panic, wondering whether they should follow suit.
Regardless of race, everyone will blindly follow the trend because everyone's mood can influence each other!
Just when all the Tauren were in panic, Long Junhai began to lead the army to attack.
At the beginning, the Minotaur took a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter. The first few families had released their human slaves and were not in any danger. However, there were also some stubborn households who thought they were very powerful. Relying on the large number of people in their family, they directly entered combat mode and guarded their doorsteps. It was obvious that they were ready to fight to the death.
For this kind of person, Long Junhai has only one word: kill!
Hundreds of tribesmen besieged a dozen or so minotaurs who had entered combat mode, but they were not able to gain the upper hand! This surprised Long Junhai somewhat.
Ultimately, it's the fear that's at work. After all, in the hearts of all humans, orcs are a superior race, and it's not something that can make everyone get out of their psychological shadow with just a few words.
"Humans have no power except their numbers! Fight them!"
"A bunch of bastards dare to attack us orcs! They are simply courting death!"
"Kill these humans! They are only fit to be our slaves!"
…
The stalemate gave the minotaurs courage and hope. They felt that the humans were vulnerable, and that a minotaur could easily defeat a hundred! Soon, a large number of minotaurs joined the battle, and the humans were instantly defeated!
