Chapter 525 World 1vs6! (VIII)
The battlefield, where smoke was billowing, fell into complete silence following Liu Bang's seemingly nonchalant words.

"Wait, are you kidding?"

"Is it still possible to surrender?"

"Then why fight this battle in the first place? What is it now?"

The soldiers watching on the wall were in an uproar. They were dumbfounded and completely unable to understand. Was this still the hero they had imagined? How could this group of heroes who were so ambitious and always claimed to be gods choose to surrender just because they couldn't defeat the enemy?

and
What is this like now? Even if a hero dies in battle, he can be reborn afterwards. Even so, he will choose to surrender because he has no hope of defeating the enemy. However, when facing a dead end, the soldiers do not even have the qualifications to surrender. Otherwise, they will either be slaughtered by the enemy heroes coldly or by their own heroes!

The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. With such discrimination, what is the point of them pursuing these heroes?
A strange and subtle atmosphere quietly brewed in the huge Ironclad City.
On the other hand, Liu Bang remained calm, as if he did not feel ashamed or wrong at all about his surrender in the face of the enemy.

He faced Wang Yao and said frankly: "Your Excellency is both powerful and wise, and we are not able to contend with you. It is meaningless to continue fighting like this, so our Han Dynasty forces are willing to surrender."

At least for Liu Bang, knowing the current situation does not mean being spineless, nor is it shameful, because when the strong and the weak are clearly distinguished, it is wise to develop slowly rather than blindly confronting head-on. It is also the only key to a turnaround in the later stage!
He has always been a man who knows how to adapt to the times, because throughout his growth history, he rose through defeat and forbearance, so even if the two sides have fought to this extent, he can still change his mind temporarily and choose to surrender and flatter the enemy directly on the battlefield without blushing or beating his heart.

Regardless of the present, the one who laughs last is the ultimate winner. This is the consistent creed of the two-faced monarch!

Of course, the first thing that Chariot Will·Kuang Tie could think of for this kind of desertion was contempt: "Humph, Liu Bang, you are the king of a country, but you have the nerve to say the word surrender. It seems that you have really brought your Liu family's thick-skinned tradition to its fullest! But I knew from the beginning that you guys who only know how to play tricks are unreliable!"

Miledy, who also realized that something was wrong, erupted like a volcano, shouting in anger: "Liu Bang! What do you mean by this? You surrender in the face of battle and betray your allies. Do you still have the dignity of a hero? Where is your integrity as a king?!"

She was almost furious! Things were clearly beyond her control, and in an extremely ridiculous way!

However, facing Miledy's accusations and insults, Liu Bang remained unmoved, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Yao. Ever since he opened his mouth to express his surrender, the terrifying demonic power in this man had begun to fade away, but the man did not respond to his proposal to surrender on the battlefield.

His true inner thoughts, just like his true face hidden behind that hideous ghost mask, can never be easily seen by others!
Are the chips not enough?
Realizing that his bargaining chips might not be enough, Liu Bang added after careful consideration: "I think you are determined to obtain the desert, and you definitely don't want to attract hatred and create more enemies in the future. Please rest assured, as long as you are willing to stop, I am willing to guarantee that our Han Dynasty forces will withdraw from the desert within two days, and at the same time give up all the cities and lands occupied by our forces, and promise never to invade the desert again!"

This is almost equivalent to recognizing Wang Yao's status as the emperor in the desert!

However, Wang Yao still did not react.

But at this time, no reaction is the best proof of consent!
After acutely sensing Wang Yao's tacit approval, Liu Bang began to try and cautiously take a step back, while continuing to raise the stakes for his smooth exit from the battlefield: "Thank you for your generosity. In the future, if there is a need, the Han Dynasty is willing to obey your orders! At the same time, if there is a subsequent need for food, fodder, and supplies, the Han Dynasty is also willing to do its best to help."

Liu Bang continued to retreat while making generous promises.

At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath because of Liu Bang's every move! Because Wang Yao's unpredictable impression has long been deeply rooted in people's minds, no one knows whether Wang Yao will suddenly change his ways and kill Liu Bang on the spot!

But the imagined sudden upheaval and sudden attack did not happen.
In other words, Wang Yao unilaterally accepted the collective surrender from Liu Bang's side!

After retreating to a position where he thought he was truly safe, Liu Bang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He told Zhang Liang remotely, "Don't act rashly, retreat slowly with me!" Zhang Liang, who was suspended in the air, was very tactful when he heard it. Without saying a word, he followed Liu Bang's retreat and slowly moved away.

For the Han Dynasty, it was already a rare honor to be able to escape unscathed from this doomed battle and retain the greatest strength for subsequent struggles for hegemony!

On the other hand, from Wang Yao's perspective, although he certainly had the power to kill Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, the reason why he let them go was not out of mercy, but also after careful consideration; firstly, his original intention was to expel these foreign heroes from the desert. After all, it was not the best time to thoroughly settle accounts with the existence of heroes. Secondly, what he was most interested in now was the "certain force" hidden behind Miledy. Thirdly, Liu Bang's proposal was indeed "full of sincerity". For example, he could ask for the food, fodder and other supplies needed for the subsequent offensive and conquest of his army.
Who would refuse an ATM that accepts everyone?

Of course, Wang Yao was not afraid that Liu Bang would break his promise. After all, after this incident, even if Liu Bang broke his promise again, he would not dare to betray the demigod who could destroy his entire Han Dynasty in a moment!

As for Haidu
Wang Yao raised his head and once again looked at the woman who had long lost her cold and arrogant attitude. At this moment, Miledy felt that the world was dark, and a pair of scarlet blood eyes suddenly opened from behind her. The feeling of being on edge instantly made her hair stand on end!

Miledy knew from the beginning that they would be annihilated by Wang Yao, but she never expected that her carefully planned encirclement and suppression campaign would be completely seen through and dismantled by Wang Yao in just a dozen minutes!

Miledy was undoubtedly extremely unwilling to accept this at the moment. Even with six heroes attacking from the front and back, they were unable to reduce the enemy's health to even 50%. This was a huge humiliation for her!
"You are indeed very strong. It seems that I underestimated you this time."

She stared at Wang Yao coldly and said without hesitation: "It was my miscalculation to form an alliance with a philistine like Liu Bang. I didn't know people well, but I also tell you that the people of Haidu will never surrender! I won't beg for surrender like Liu Bang did, and I won't give up the land I have obtained. If you want it, you have to run over the corpses of us Haidu!"

A failure was not enough to completely defeat this high and mighty queen. It was nothing more than a loss of the current interests in the desert! But as long as he waited until the future, when the "master" mentioned by the Heart of Eternal Night was resurrected, then Haidu, who was responsible for the merit of following the dragon, would be able to regain everything he had lost with the help of the other party, and become one of the masters of the new era!

This is the greatest confidence that allows Miledy to still stand here firmly and face death!
However, facing Miledy's "noble and upright" act of dying, a seemingly inadvertent sneer slowly came out from under Wang Yao's mask: "If at this point, you are still pinning your hopes on a certain force that is hiding in the dark and supporting you, then I think your stupidity is no different from that of your subordinate Kuang Tie."

"What did you say?!" Feeling offended, Kuang Tie was the first to jump up and down: "What an impudent fellow! Don't think you can look down on others just by pretending to be noble. If you have the guts, let's fight for another 300 rounds!"

Miledy's face also darkened, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "Arrogant bastard! In my eyes, you are just a brat! Do you really think you have the ability to see through everything? You are just arrogant!"

"Whether I am arrogant or what I said is true, you will know it later. I will prove it to you."

Wang Yao said this calmly, then changed the subject and suddenly shouted at the countless soldiers on the top of the Iron Armor City: "My fellow soldiers of the Iron Armor City, I believe you have all seen what is happening now. This group of so-called heroes have always either regarded you as livestock that can be killed at will, or just used you as bargaining chips and numbers for the war. In their eyes, in order to achieve the goal of victory, you are just tools that can be discarded at any time! At this point, you should all consider whether such a group of selfish people are still worthy of your support and following!"

Miledy's face changed, and she felt alarm bells ringing in her heart. But before she could interrupt, Wang Yao's voice, which was low but loud like thunder, rang out again.

"For 2000 years, you soldiers, as the lowest existence in this world, have been tortured and oppressed by heroes from all sides. Although you are human beings, you don't even have the respect and dignity that a human being should have. You can only survive under the coercion of force, and waste your precious lives meaninglessly in this game of interests between heroes! At least in my opinion, the current era is not what it should be, and it shouldn't be like this!"

"That's why I came to the desert and the Ironclad City! My goal is to destroy this unfair system for you! I believe that no one here is willing to be someone else's bargaining chip, and no one is willing to be someone else's stepping stone, especially when it's meaningless! In this case, you should rise up and resist for the honor of being a soldier and for the dignity of being a human being! Why? We are all human beings, but just because of the secret manipulation of a force that claims to be the orthodoxy of the world, the existence of the two classes has completely gone to different paths of polarization. One side has all the resources in the world, while the other side can only survive in humiliation. This is the greatest unfairness in itself!"

Unconsciously, the expressions of the soldiers on the armored city became serious. They quietly and deeply looked at the person who was as hot and dazzling as the sun even though he was under the dark sky!

People couldn't help but think that what he said was true! Or maybe it was not bad for Desert to be taken over and ruled by such a person. Following such a person might be a wise move.
Wang Yao continued: "I want to tell you here that the atrocities of slaughtering the relatives of my soldiers last night were instigated by the hero who was the leader, and have nothing to do with you soldiers! I don't want to hurt innocent people, I just want to drive these heroes out of the desert, so that thousands of people in the desert will no longer be poisoned by war and can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life, that's all! So next, I am willing to give all the soldiers and brothers in the Armored City 10 minutes to evacuate. Before I capture Miledy, you can all choose to leave the Armored City! Those who are stubborn and unwilling to leave will end up like the two heroes who died before!"

Under Miledy's shocked and angry gaze, Wang Yao's eyes were extremely cold, like the extreme cold and darkness in the abyss: "After today, the Iron Armor City, known as the first city in the desert, will no longer exist!"
