C131 (2/2)
I turned my head and said to the City Lord, ”We're here, but there's no one here right now. It's possible that they've left the city already.”
The mayor said, ”No, he didn't go out. He knew that I had come to hide.”
She made a gesture that I would never have thought of. The mayor knelt down on one knee towards the sky and shouted, ”Marshal, if you're still here, come out and meet me.”
I really didn't think that the City Lord would kneel down. He is a high and mighty Immortal-ranked expert, even the current emperor wouldn't easily make him kneel down.
Just then, the ground in the distance shook, a human hand made of flesh and blood extended out, and then Wang Dashuai crawled out. Indeed, he had used facts to prove that he was not human. How could a human do such a thing?
Seeing Wang Dashuai's appearance, the city lord immediately ran over. Wang Dashuai extended out a hand to signal the city lord to stop, the city lord also stopped, Wang Dashuai lowered his head and said: ”Are you Great General Li Lin or Brother Li.”
Li Lin was somewhat dumbstruck, and did not immediately answer: ”I know that I had let you down back then, but I had no other choice. At that time, I had no way of resisting the experts of the Immortal-ranked.”
Wang Dashuai raised his head, with tears and hatred in his eyes, he said: ”Hmph, you still want to deceive me now, looks like your big brother from back then is no longer here.”
With that, he turned and left.
The mayor quickly said, ”It's not that I want to lie to you, but there are some things that I haven't figured out myself. I don't know how to make a decision.”
”To clarify your doubts, I will bury the lives of these hundred thousand brothers and sisters, and have these hundred thousand loyal soldiers follow your lead. All of them will be buried in the broken pelvic floor, and look at your surroundings, these undead spirits, zombies, look at their faces, half of them are your soldiers and the brothers that are willing to fight for you, but what are you giving us? Instead, you died in a conspiracy, and you only have one sentence of apology. ” Wang Dashuai roared.
The mayor lowered his head and knelt down once more, this time on both knees. The moment his knees touched the ground, he felt as if the entire broken pelvic floor was trembling. Even this piece of land couldn't withstand the pressure and fell to his knees.
Wang Dashuai also looked at the City Master in shock. To a warrior, kneeling to his superior required one knee on the ground in order to make him kneel before him was a sign of deep repentance and a heavy apology.
”I, Li Lin, have let down all our brothers. It was my selfishness and wrong decision to ruin everyone's future, so I came to this Dragon King City to become the city's master. I am waiting for some people here to help you all make up for the loss of your memories.” Every word was very clear.
I suddenly felt that when he was saying these words, Wang Dashuai wasn't the only one he was listening to, there were countless people around him listening.
The City Lord continued, ”I, Li Lin, have no qualms about living a life without any regrets, and am only responsible for the loss of a hundred thousand brothers.” As he spoke, he pulled out a sword and viciously slashed down on his left shoulder. The sword was very sharp, and it sliced off the arm of the mayor. Blood spurted out like a dam that had burst its banks.
The mayor's face turned pale. He isn't like us, who are injured and want some potions. His shoulder is gone, that's all.
Wang Dashuai immediately ran over, and used his hands to cover the blood on the City Lord's shoulder. He loudly said, ”What are you doing? Just tell us why. Why are you doing this? We didn't say that we can't forgive you.”
The City Lord took Wang Dashuai's hand away and said: ”Let it flow, all brothers leave their lives in this place, let my blood flow here as well.”
Wang Dashuai's tears also flowed out as he howled in a sobbing tone, ”Why, why is it like this?”
The mayor panted heavily as he said, ”When I've made everything clear, I will come here to accompany you. When the time comes, I will also die here.”
”Who said you were going to die? We brothers followed you because we believed in you. We brothers only wanted a reason.”
”Why?” I don't even know myself. ” The Mayor smiled bitterly.
”Enough is enough. We only need to know that you didn't intentionally kill us. Didn't you forget the friendship between brothers? You didn't abandon us.” Wang Dashuai said while crying.
The City Lord's pale face revealed a smile, ”For all of you, even after I treat you like this, you actually still forgive me. After I figure out what happened, I, Li Lin, will definitely come here and agree to die together.
”Who wants you dead? We didn't want you dead! We didn't want you dead!” As she spoke, she cried even louder, but her crying carried a comforting laughter.
Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed. The feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people had disappeared. He was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. Could it be that this person really had a soul?
Although the City Lord looked pale because he had lost an arm, it shouldn't be a big deal for a Immortal-ranked Ranker.
Wang Dashuai supported the mayor up, and the mayor stopped his bleeding. Wang Dashuai wiped away his tears and said: ”We only need a single sentence from you to forgive you, but there is someone who wants her to forgive you, and that is not so simple.”
The mayor had an apologetic look on his face as he said, ”I know. No matter how she treats me today, as long as you let me live and finish what I need to do, I will accept it. Let me take a look at her.”
