After recapturing the city walls, Ron did not have them participate in the fighting within the city. Instead, he had them take over the city's defenses and launch long-range attacks against the enemy forces outside the city.

The purpose was not to kill the enemy, but to intimidate them.

As expected, when the enemy troops outside the city saw that the city wall had been recaptured by Bai Mucheng, they immediately turned around and withdrew without any hesitation.

Because this is a dangerous signal, a signal that if we don't evacuate now, we may never have another chance to evacuate.

Seeing that the enemy troops outside the city had all retreated, Ron breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling somewhat exhausted, he immediately removed the two giant worms, leaving only one giant worm to block the gate.

Talulah rode the stone golem to the foot of the city wall and retrieved the alloy rod.

Ron's gaze then fell upon the battlefield in the city.

The enemy's morale was low and their troops were in disarray. Faced with the fierce attack from Whitewood City, they were already at a disadvantage, and defeat was only a matter of time.

However, continuing to fight like this will only result in heavy losses on both sides, with a thousand enemies killed and eight hundred of your own.

"Everyone, cease fighting!"

Ron stood on the city wall, his authoritative voice reaching the ears of everyone on the battlefield.

Upon hearing Ron's order, Singh and Raphael did not hesitate and led the Whitewood City guards away from the battlefield, retreating backward.

The soldiers of Silver City didn't have much will to fight to begin with, and upon hearing Ron's words, they all cooperated and stopped fighting.

Ron walked down from the city wall.

"who are you?"

Andrew looked at Ron, who had walked to the middle, and asked.

“Who I am is not important. What is important is that we are all citizens of Thornlands, and I do not want to fight each other with you,” Ron said calmly.

“Then let us go,” Andrew said.

Ron couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

"You attacked Whitewood City and killed so many of its guards. It won't be so easy for you to leave now."

“Then let’s fight!” Andrew said coldly.

"Krag is dead, and the army outside the city has abandoned you. What's the point of you continuing to fight?"

Ron asked in a tone that suggested, 'Is it worth giving your life for the people who abandoned you?'

These words struck a chord with the Silver City soldiers present, causing a stir among the crowd. Several soldiers behind Andrew whispered among themselves, their grips on their weapons unconsciously loosening.

Andrew frowned.

He realized that Ron was trying to sway their beliefs with words, attempting to win without a fight.

But so what if they can see it? Ron was telling the truth. They had indeed been abandoned, and tonight's plan had indeed failed. There was no point in continuing to resist.

What do you want?

Andrew paused for a moment, then looked at Ron and asked.

"Fight me. If you win, I'll let you go. If you lose, you'll lay down your weapons and surrender."

Ron proposed a contest he was good at.

"it is good!"

Andrew stared at Ron, pondered for a moment, and then accepted the challenge.

There is currently no better option than this.

"Draw your weapon."

Andrew raised his greatsword and pointed it at Ron.

Ron drew his long sword from his waist and assumed the stance for his Reverse Breath Instant Slash.

Chapter 113 You've worked hard

Battle is imminent.

Ron charged forward first, his figure appearing to Andrew's left like a black lightning bolt, his long sword piercing below Andrew's raised left arm.

But Andrew emitted a faint golden light, and the longsword broke in two as it advanced.

As the heavy sword fell, Ron quickly retreated.

"Should we continue the competition?"

Andrew looked at Ron, who was now unarmed, and laughed.

"I admit you're strong. If you had a good knife, you would have pierced my heart just now." He looked at the broken blade sticking out of his armpit and said with lingering fear.

Ron was so fast that Ron couldn't react when he wasn't at his peak.

"I don't want to kill you."

Ron threw away the dagger in his hand and said with a smile, "You admit defeat."

Ok?

Andrew's eyes widened.

Is it the reverse of the Heavenly Gang?

I have a weapon; do you expect me to admit defeat?

Even if I can't keep up with your speed, it's still a draw.

Andrew raised his heavy sword, intending to teach Ron a lesson.

boom.

The heavy sword that had just been raised fell vertically to the ground.

Andrew was stunned.

He gripped the hilt with both hands and tried to lift the greatsword again.

Then he was horrified to discover that he could no longer even lift a greatsword.

He felt utterly weak and heavy all over.

"This is it!"

Andrew suddenly looked down at the broken blade under his armpit; it was this thing that was absorbing his life force.

He threw down the heavy sword, trying to pull it out, but his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

The sixth-tier magic [Derivative] can convert and store magical power into life energy. Through contact, it can leave a 'seed' within the target's body; the seed can transfer or absorb life energy.

Everyone has basic life energy, also known as physical strength, which is used to maintain bodily functions.

Once your physical strength is depleted, no matter how skilled you are, you will no longer be able to perform your abilities.

Of course, there are different levels of contact, some deep and some shallow.

With only superficial contact, the seed can only remain under the skin and is easily killed; at most, it can only transmit life energy.

Only through deep contact within the body can the seed be implanted into the target's flesh and blood.

Ron's enhanced strike had already sent the seed into Andrew's body. With Andrew's fifth-tier strength alone, it was impossible for him to resist sixth-tier magic.

Ron slowly walked up to Andrew.

"I lost."

Seeing Ron's calm face, Andrew realized that he had no chance of winning the match from the very beginning.

"Put down your weapons!"

Upon hearing Andrew's order, most of the soldiers in Silver City breathed a sigh of relief and laid down their weapons.

A small number of soldiers who were unwilling to surrender were forced to lay down their weapons due to the circumstances.

The guards of Whitewood City immediately stepped forward to confiscate weapons and armor, and detained the surrendered enemy soldiers.

With that, tonight's battle of offense and defense has come to an end.

Ron deactivated the energy transfer from the last giant worm, and Talulah retrieved all the alloy rods.

"Mr. Thomson."

Singh walked over, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Ron.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Ron looked at Singh, who was badly injured, and placed his hand on Singh's chest wound, transferring life energy to him.

While derivatives are not medical skills and cannot cure injuries, they can provide vitality to the body, stop wounds from worsening, and help them heal faster.

"Thank you, Mr. Thomson."

Feeling the life energy transmitted by Ron, Singh expressed his gratitude.

Where is Reggie?

After stabilizing Singh's injuries, Ron stopped and asked.

"Mr. Thomson, please hurry and save Miss Reggie."

Raphael then hurried over.

"What's wrong, Miss Reggie?" Singh's expression turned serious.

After discovering the incident at the city gate, he immediately went to the security office to assemble guards and rushed to the city gate, unaware of what had happened at the city lord's mansion.

"Miss Reggie has been captured by those traitors from Whitewind City."

Raphael, looking guilty, recounted what had happened at the city lord's mansion.

"Search all residential buildings near the city gate."

Before he could finish speaking, Ron gave the order.

The people in Baifeng City couldn't have foreseen that Baiyin City's operation tonight would fail. As inside agents and major contributors, they couldn't possibly leave Baimu City.

They should be hiding in nearby buildings, leisurely watching and waiting for the Silver City army to take Whitewood City, then running out to claim credit.

However, seeing that Silver City has lost, they are probably very panicked.
