Chapter 85 Bloodline Enhancement, Five-Headed Naga!

After Baihamon finished speaking, Andali's expression shifted between light and shadow.

Upon seeing this, Baihamon knew that he had once again guessed his lord's thoughts.

Although Dali had spoken very resolutely, saying he would leave the city and fight Li Wei to the death, Baihamon had already realized that Dali didn't want to fight anymore.

Why?

Because the plan he just gave to Andalit was to immediately gather troops and go out of the city to fight Li Wei outside the city, so that there would still be a glimmer of hope.

But how did I do it?

Tonight we'll reward the entire army, and tomorrow night we'll go into battle again. It seems like we're still fighting.

But this actually reveals Odali's hesitation.

Anyone familiar with military affairs knows that under the bombardment of such terrifying catapults, the morale of soldiers will only weaken. Just one hour of bombardment by the Black Stone catapults has already resulted in so many casualties.

If they were to endure another night of catapult bombardment, would these soldiers still have the courage to fight tomorrow?

If I, Dali, wish to fight, then Baihamon will repay the kindness he has shown me for over a decade and die alongside me.

If he didn't want to fight, he would naturally persuade Andari to let him surrender to Livy.

He understood his lord; even if he didn't want to fight, he might still die for the sake of his reputation.

But since you don't want to die, I'll naturally find a way to help you save face.

Fortunately, Li Wei is Kanilukh's son-in-law, which helps to smooth things over. Thinking of this, Baihamon said, "My lord, think about Lord Kanilukh's last wish. Lord Kanilukh wanted to unify the Nine Towns, but unfortunately, he died young before achieving his great ambition. Think about it, as Lord Kanilukh's son-in-law, Li Wei has the potential to unify the Nine Towns. He has the Black Stone Catapult. If he takes Muvi City, how far away is Mumeng City? Moreover, he is so young, and there is a great chance that he can compete with Amir for the Nine Towns."

"If you pledge allegiance to him and assist Li Wei in unifying the Nine Garrisons, people will praise you for repaying Lord Kaniruk's kindness in recognizing your talent and assisting his son-in-law in unifying the Nine Garrisons, thus fulfilling that old man's last wish!"

Baihamon's words made Andali even more uncertain. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. He looked back and saw his city lord's mansion located a little north of the town center under the gray sky.

Next to this city lord's mansion, there is another house of the same size, which was the city lord's mansion that Kaniruk built in the town center when he conquered Muvi City.

When he later seized the throne, to show respect, he built another city lord's mansion next to it, while the old city lord's mansion remained there, but he did not move in.

What kind of person is he? Was he loyal? No, he was not loyal either. After Kanirulch died, he did not pledge allegiance to his son.

Do you say he's disloyal?

When Kaniruk was alive, Andali charged into battle, fought valiantly, and even shielded Kaniruk from arrows three times. If he hadn't made such a great contribution, Kaniruk wouldn't have appointed him as the commander-in-chief to guard Muvi City.

"Baihamon, actually I hesitated at the time, but I couldn't resist the temptation of power. Later, I would dream that Lord Kaniruk reprimanded me for failing to live up to his kindness. I never expected—" Andali turned around and said in silence.

Baihamon remained silent.

After that, Andali talked on and on to Baihamon about his time fighting alongside Kanirukh when he was young.

Baihamon remained silent, knowing that Andali was trying to convince himself.

Finally, Andali stared at the sky for a while, then suddenly said, "Open the gates and surrender!"

These words relieved Baihameng, who knew that his persuasion had worked.

But upon hearing this, Humuhe became anxious. His father wanted to surrender? What a joke!

Wouldn't the faith power of those 50,000 people then fall into Li Wei's hands?

Where will he get faith power in the future?

Does he have to become Li Wei's son?

"Father, we can't surrender! Our soldiers can still fight. Even if we want to surrender, we should fight for another day or two. It's only been an hour. What are we going to surrender for?" Humuhe urged anxiously. Andali didn't say anything, just stared at him coldly.

Baihamon thought to himself, "This is the difference between you and Dali."

I understand that if you want to surrender, the sooner the better. If you keep dragging it out for a day or two, hesitating and indecisive, by the time the city falls, how much value will you have left to surrender?

"Father, we can't surrender to Li Wei!" Hu Muhe said anxiously again. He felt like the sky was about to fall. If his father surrendered, wouldn't all the 50,000 faith points he had worked so hard to obtain be gone?

What about his future?

"Shut up!" Suddenly, Andali slapped Humuhe hard across the face, making his cheek swell with blood. "From now on, please call me Liwei Salma! How dare you address Salma by his name like that!?"

The slap, combined with those words, completely stunned Humuhe, who collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Outside the city, Li Wei was preparing to call on his soldiers to launch another round of Black Stone catapult attacks when he suddenly found the city gates open. All six hundred soldiers laid down their weapons and walked out of the city gates. Leading them was Andali, who kowtowed with each step and shouted, "I am willing to assist Li Weisalma to fulfill Lord Kaniruk's last wishes."

Seeing this, Li Wei and Buhart exchanged a glance.

"Salma, it seems that being the son-in-law of the Hamantor family is still somewhat useful," Bhatt said with a smile.

Li Wei smiled as well. In fact, he also wanted to recruit Andali, since he had very few people he could still use, and none of his generals had passed the Vanpi test.

I, Dali, possess the strength of four elephants. If this man surrenders, I will have a great general who can stand alone.

Getting someone like that to surrender is quite difficult.

He knew, of course, that Andali was surrendering now, mainly because his Black Stone catapult threatened his life.

But sometimes people need a ladder, a step down. If you don't give them a step down, they might really waste their lives there.

When you lack power, the son-in-law of the Hamanthus family is just a piece of waste paper; when you have power, he becomes a valuable stepping stone.

Someone will offer to help you down.

"Please get up quickly." Li Wei stepped forward to help Andali up, and then exchanged a few more polite words.

Then, Li Wei looked up at Mu Weicheng in front of him with some emotion.

The two towns have been captured!

It went even more smoothly than expected.

I have 650 soldiers under my command, so together with my own soldiers, we have about 1,200.

There are about thirty Brahma cavalry in Muwei City, and now I have a squad of fifty Brahma cavalry.

Their strength has doubled.

Of course, the most crucial elements are faith and bronze fragments.

And Dali, being sensible, offered up the red faith stone.

Livy ordered Bhatt to gather the residents and collect faith power, and then he spoke of the bronze fragments.

Li Wei's excuse was that the bronze fragment was what Pania wanted, because her father also had it, and seeing it reminded her of him.

He didn't care whether Dali believed it or not.

Andali understood; he had already surrendered, so what was there to say? He simply took it out from his underground chamber and gave it to Li Wei.

Ida said he had studied this bronze fragment for over ten years but hadn't figured it out.

As night fell, a grand banquet was held in the city to welcome Livy, the new ruler.

Li Wei didn't go immediately; he was in the house, holding the Faith Stone in his left hand and the bronze fragment in his right.

A new round of strength enhancement is about to begin.

Five-headed Naga, here I come!
