In front of the city lord's mansion.
As soon as Shariel spoke, both groups of men stopped immediately.
The orc general looked relieved, while Sauron's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Lan, I've done as you said. Can you please take the dagger out of your hand?"
Sarriel spoke softly, afraid of angering the female undead behind him.
He now deeply regrets not joining the fight. He had originally planned to observe from the sidelines to avoid danger, but things didn't go as planned. The female ghost, seeing that he was alone, approached him directly and used his life as a threat, forcing Captain Zoro to change the course of the battle, which he had initially held the advantage.
"Make them put down their weapons!"
The female undead's voice, carrying the aura of death, whispered in Shariel's ear.
"this……"
Saril didn't think Captain Sauron would grant him this request.
The garrison inside the city would obey orders, but Commander Sauron only obeyed the king of the human race. He was not a subordinate of Saril. Moreover, only three months had passed since the tragedy of Sebanda. The conflict between him and the tribe could not be quelled by his words alone.
Seeing that Shariel hesitated, Lan pressed the dagger harder, and blood began to seep from Shariel's neck.
"Okay, okay!"
Sarriel had no choice but to beg the female undead to loosen her grip on the dagger.
He didn't want to die. Even if everyone in the city died, he still didn't want to die, because his life was the most precious thing.
"Put down your weapons!"
He shouted in the direction of the battle.
The garrison soldiers inside the city exchanged glances and slowly lowered their weapons.
The orc general's expression grew increasingly smug.
"Commander Zoro, please put down your weapon!"
"..."
Zoro's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but he gripped his longsword even tighter.
"Commander Zoro!"
"In the name of the Lord of Sandstone City, I request that you lay down your weapons. My agreement with the Alliance is null and void. You may choose to leave Sandstone City now!"
Seeing that Captain Zoro had no intention of putting down his weapons, Sarriel immediately became anxious.
Captain Zoro was also very unwilling, but he was also extremely frustrated.
Without the help of the Sandstone City garrison, the men he brought from Baron City were no match for these orcs. Although he wanted to tear the orcs' heads apart, as a commander, he knew he couldn't act impulsively and couldn't let his men die in vain.
He sighed deeply, still intending to leave, at least to ensure that those who followed him could continue to live.
Saril saw Zoro's expression and the weight that had been hanging over his head finally lifted. He was now just waiting for Zoro to leave, and his own life would be truly saved.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, a meow came from beside Saril, but he couldn't turn his head to look because a dagger was pressed against his neck.
Then a small black cat pounced on his head, staring menacingly at the female ghost behind him.
Lan hadn't expected the black cat to suddenly appear at this moment, and she was now like a frightened mouse, becoming extremely nervous as the black cat pounced in front of her.
"hiss--"
The sound of flesh being torn open was heard, and a torrent of blood gushed from Saril's neck.
"Uh... I..."
He tried to speak, but the gushing blood had filled his trachea, making it impossible for him to utter a complete sentence.
When Lan realized that she had accidentally slashed Shariel's throat in her panic, she immediately understood that something terrible had happened and hurriedly took a few steps back, hiding her figure in the darkness.
Saril pressed his hands to the wound on his neck, trying to stop the gushing blood, but no matter how hard he tried, the bleeding showed no signs of stopping, and Saril's face visibly turned pale.
He fell, lying in his own pool of blood, his unclosed eyes seemingly still displaying his unwillingness to accept defeat.
"The city lord is dead! He was killed by the tribesmen!"
A sound pierced the night sky, sounding particularly jarring in the already incredibly quiet street.
"The city lord is dead!"
"The city lord is dead!"
"Avenge the city lord!"
"Avenge the city lord!"
"Kill these orcs!"
"Kill these orcs!"
"..."
Enrage had been ignited. The guards, who had previously dropped their weapons, picked them up again and charged at the orcs before them, shouting as they did so.
"Good lad, he's actually in Sandstone City!"
Commander Zoro recognized the voice as belonging to his company commander, Joey Brown.
However, this was not the time for reminiscing. He raised his longsword and immediately went to meet them.
"Kill them!"
Joey shouted and led the charge.
Upon seeing Captain Zoro's face, Medusa could no longer contain his excitement, and upon hearing Joey's battle cries, he hurriedly followed.
The bearded man had been working in the smelting furnace for several months and found it extremely boring. Now that he was out, he was going to let off some steam.
He swung a heavy-looking warhammer, ran up to Joey, and jumped up to smash it on an orc's head. The orc's head exploded instantly, and bright red blood and white brain matter splattered out.
Karl and his Draenei quickly joined the battle. Although they hadn't fought for many years, the Draenei, who had been wandering from place to place, were never short of experience in battle.
The battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the orc general's face showed signs of constipation. He had not expected the war to develop in this way, with its ups and downs making him feel uncomfortable as well.
