They had just arrived and were unaware of the scene ahead, still brimming with courage.
I want to go out.
We'll give you the right to stop me.
I want to leave, too.
The fog isn't thick yet.
We can still escape.
Don't block me.
If you do, I'll have my subordinates attack.
Haven't you seen the situation behind? Half of this county town has disappeared.
The crowd shouts grew louder and more numerous.
Several players charged forward with over 10 subordinates each.
These players were quite strong, dealing significant damage with their skills and talents.
A few tier three and tier four soldiers fell, but these soldiers immediately retaliated.
Even if the players were strong, they were still no match for this group of tier three and tier four soldiers.
In an instant, 27 players died again.
At this moment, a middle-aged military general walked up the city wall, clad in iron armor and wielding a long knife.
Sujene raised his head and glanced, seeing his information.
Wong men, regular general level, 35 years old, level 31, county magistrate of Wongping, wild patrol lieutenant, affiliated with Gong Sunzon, Constitution 6, strength 6, agility 5, intelligence 6, leadership 65, martial arts 64, strategy 31, administration 41.
It turned out to be a historical general.
This was Su Jyn's first time encountering a historical general in this world.
Chapter 343.
Rage and Interest.
Wong Men is a historical military general, a subordinate of Gong Sunzan, and a magistrate of Wongping County.
Although his attributes and abilities are average, he has reached level 31 and has been enhanced 31 times, making his strength not to be underestimated.
The county magistrate, Wong Men, roared, "How many times do I have to say it? The fog has descended.
There is no escape.
And as you all just saw, a large number of corpse puppets have appeared and my soldiers are fighting them.
If you go out now, you're looking for death.
If you want to die, I want to stop you.
But you have to die inside the city.
If you die outside, you'll turn into corpse puppets, and I want te allow that to happen.
Anyone who approaches the city gate and walls will be killed without mercy.
His roar silenced the crowd.
The soldiers raised their swords and stepped forward.
The crowd was pushed back a step.
However, the voices of disscent rose again.
What is that black thing in the back? Is annihilation.
Why can't I collect my supplies? Are you going to rob us? Yeah, I just went to the storage area and it's been military controlled.
Not allowing any supplies to be collected.
If we can't leave the city, are you going to provide food? My business loses 50 gold coins a day.
Can you afford that? I have a batch of goods to deliver tomorrow.
Will you pay the penalty for breach of contract? The players in the back, unaware of the soldiers might became agitated.
Sujene pulled Ruan Shu and Yaoqing back a bit, creating distance from the soldiers.
The situation was not looking good.
They needed to avoid getting caught up in it.
County magistrate Wong men stood on the city wall and shouted again.
I don't know if what s behind is annihilation, but I know my duty is to hold this position.
If you dare to charge, I guarantee I will kill you before annihilation does.
This is a special wartime situation.
All supplies in the warehouses, regardless of ownership, are sealed and requisitioned.
Only in this way can more people survive and possibly endure the fog without dying.
Just now over a 100 people force their way into the storage area and were all executed.
You are no different.
Immediately withdraw from the combat area.
Or don't blame me for being rude.
The combat area refers to the range beneath the city walls.
Players too close to the walls would hinder the transfer of supplies and troop deployment.
It could also engage in harmful behavior.
No military operation would allow unrelated personnel to approach.
It would affect combat operations.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Even those who had been silent began to shout.
The main issue was the requisition of supplies that Wong men announced.
What? The warehouses are sealed.
On what grounds? Those are my belongings, not yours.
Are you crazy? in Wongping town.
I have over 10 general souls in the warehouse that Haven T been auctioned yet.
Give it back to me.
Damn it.
Requisitioning my stuff? Do you know who I am? Once I get out, I'll flatten your broken county town.
Yeah, this is too unreasonable.
Are you trying to rob us while you can? Many merchant players have brought all their assets to participate in the auction, hoping to earn a little more money.
Now that all supplies were forcibly requisitioned, these people wouldn't agree, even if it meant fighting to the death.
Sure enough, many players drew their weapons and confronted the soldiers opposite them.
Although it was understandable they were still like ants shaking a tree, players were inherently weak.
Even lord players didn't te bring many troops.
Merchant players had even fewer subordinates, usually only a few dozen guards, most of whom were only level 23.
There were some level four soldiers, but their numbers were nowhere near that of the official soldiers.
Moreover, while the total number of players was large, their demands were varied.
The largest group was the resident players.
Their homes were here and their supplies and wealth were stored in their homes.
So, the requisition of supplies from the storage area had no impact on them.
They might even benefit from it.
These players would not only not resist but would support the Wongpang County officials, hoping that these supplies could strengthen the soldiers and increase the chance of surviving the fog invasion.
There were also many players who were tourists.
They similarly had little to lose.
Even if they did, it was te significant enough to fight to the death.
So they would te oppose the Wongping County officials either, hoping they could become stronger and survive the fog invasion.
The ones suffering the most were the merchant players.
However, they made up a small portion of the total and among them only a few were willing to truly resist and fight.
Sujene continued to pull Ru and Yaoing back.
He could be considered a merchant himself and had suffered a considerable loss this time, but he seemed utterly unfazed inside.
Sujene showed no reaction to his losses on the surface, but inside he was bleeding.
That batch of goods was worth at least over 200 gold coins.
He pretended to forget about it.
However, the thoughtful and caring Yaoqi reminded him, "Sir, have our sleeping beds and stockings also been forcibly requisitioned?" Suji nodded helplessly.
"There is nothing we can do.
It seems I won te be able to earn that 200 gold coins after all.
Thankfully, I got the money back for that 100 tons of flour.
" Ruan Shu sighed.
