Chapter 335: Surrender or fight to the death
As the wall wasn’t completed, everyone felt like defending the area through the walls was a joke. The enemy would go around and attack you from behind.
But when Lou Family sent a hundred cavalries, everyone was worried.
They wouldn't have to suffer such an impact if they fought behind or on top of the walls.
They had no experience against cavaliers. Cloud Peak could only rely on each evolved’s ability. Unfortunately, such methods were wrong. This strike caused the Cloud Peak defense line, which was already on the verge of collapse from Ying City Jail’s attack, to get scattered.
Cloud Peak’s warriors were in a bad situation.
People died every moment. Some of them had started feeling a sense of belonging to Cloud Peak.
Mo Ye, Lu Yi, and Sister Rong’s hearts hurt.
One base, a stable, unified base. Each member had a strong sense of belonging.
Such a feeling wasn’t formed instantly. It needed a period and slow brainwashing and influence.
Ye Zhongming was a decent boss. He could help his members win some interests without sacrificing his own.
Along with the gains that Young Master Yun brought back, he stunned the entire Cloud Peak for over a minute.
But he wasn’t a god; he couldn’t consider every point.
He could provide for Cloud Peak in areas that he was best at-- Fighting.
In other areas, he needed the other core members to pay attention and try their best to run the base.
For the mountain to grow and to fight for its foundations, these core members spent a lot of effort on them. It was not easy for survivors to have feelings for a base. Most of the teams used interests to maintain their relationship with one another. Although this method was shallow, it was stable enough.
But Mo Ye and Xia Lei didn’t want to use that method.
The apocalypse showed the evil side of humans. But people still believed they could make these survivors maintain a bottom line and conscience when they treated people on the same side.
People who had never worked for such a goal wouldn’t be able to understand the toughness of this. But these people didn’t give up. Maybe for people like Lu Yi and Liu Zhenghong and women like Mo Ye and Xia Lei, their concept of family was stronger than others.
To a certain extent, they treated Cloud Peak as their home.
Unfortunately, their heart work was dying in front of their eyes.
Rage appeared on many of their faces.
“Did Ye Zhongming think about such a day when he killed my son? All of you are dying because of your stupid boss!”
Lou Zhengxiao held his spear, and on it was the head of a Cloud Peak warrior. He shouted around.
.
Ye Zhongming charged onto the Lake’s heart and killed three of his sons and brother. The entire Lou Family was enemies with this guy after that.
Lou Zhengxiao wouldn’t think about why his sons were killed. He only knew how to take revenge.
Today, he brought all the warriors of the Lou Family to destroy Ye Zhongming’s foundations! He wanted to slice all of their heads for that guy to see!
He even had a thought in his mind.
He wanted to challenge that guy, stabbing ten thousand holes in his body.
Besides Lou Zhengxiao, Little Spirit was his only daughter left. She bit her teeth and killed members of Cloud Peak. She still remembered what she swore that day.
“I will kill you!”
She might not have the strength to kill Ye Zhongming now, but she felt like it was good that she could kill his men. Some of his women were here, so it was good for him to taste the feeling of losing what he loved!
Just like that day when he killed three of her brothers!
Seeing the situation collapse onto their side, Zhang Dalong, who used five ghost souls to block that wind blade, was delighted.
“Madam Mo, it seems like the scales of victory are leaning towards us. How would Ye Zhongming feel when he sees your naked body?”
The talisman continued to spin in the sky, and although the wind blades could kill the ghost souls, it needed two to kill one. It was too slow and couldn’t keep up with his summoning speed. If she had attacked Zhang Dalong, he would have had several souls protecting his body.
A shriek spread from behind. Mo Ye looked and saw Sister Rong being attacked by several cavalries. She was not careful, and one spear hit her shoulder.
Although she was two-star evolved and those cavalries were one-star, they were well trained. Sister Rong killed two of them and was still hit with their traditional spear techniques.
Mo Ye dissipated one soul and was getting more and more anxious.
If this continued, Cloud Peak would get wiped out. In such a short while, over a hundred of them had died. The others were either injured or losing their combat strength.
Would they lose the base today?
Mo Ye was worried, but she was determined.
Even if she died, she would kill this fellow!
Be it Lu Yi, Sister Rong, or Liu Zhenghong, they all knew it was time to go all out.
But at that moment, some unharmonious sounds rang out.
“Stop fighting; I surrender!”
Someone from Cloud Peak shouted. When the enemy was stunned and stopped, he tossed his weapon and knelt crying, “I surrender, let me live!”
In a challenging environment with allies dying each moment, someone who wanted to live chose to... Surrender.
That was like a plague that spread to many other Cloud Peak members.
Many people chose to toss aside their weapons. They chose to hand their lives to the enemies and take a 50/50 bet.
These people were smart. When they would die if they fought, they chose to surrender for that slim chance of living.
Cloud Peak’s morale collapsed.
No matter how Mo Ye, Sister Rong, or Lu Yi stared at them, they just lowered their heads in shame and persisted in their choice.
“That is a good choice.” Zhang Dalong stopped summoning the souls, “Madam Mo, if you choose to stop fighting, we can become friends.”
Some surrendered, but naturally, some wouldn’t want to. Mo Ye led those people and slowly gathered together. Ying City Jail and Lou Family surrounded these dozens of people in the center.
“Kneel or die!”
Lou Zhengxiao rode his horse and pointed his red spear forward.
Mo Ye laughed. She turned to look at the Cloud Peak warriors. That heroic face was serious. She held her blade, looked at her men, and asked, “Between surrendering in humiliation or fighting to the death, what do you choose!”
“Fight to the death!”
Mo Ye, Lu Yi, and Liu Zhenghong’s eyes were red. They knew that their hard work wasn’t wasted. Cloud Peak’s spine was formed.
“Kneel your grandmother!”
A furious roar spread out, and the ground shook!
