Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 46: Breaking the City and Talking about Surrender

In the city of Dunhuang, as more than a dozen siege towers were built against the city wall, more and more undead began to rush up the wall.

In a short period of time, the strength of both sides on the city wall had become equal, and the advantage began to tilt towards the undead. Large sections of the city wall were completely lost, and there were still a steady stream of undead outside the city.

At this point, even the ordinary soldiers knew that the city wall could not be defended. The soldiers gradually abandoned the city wall and retreated into the city.

The soldiers in the city no longer went to support the city walls, but began to set up new lines of defense based on the buildings in the city.

On the city wall, skeleton soldiers kept jumping off the city wall from the gate tower at all costs and began to attack the city gate from inside the city.

Hundreds of Western Region coalition troops at the city gate fought desperately to protect the city gate. But as time passed, more and more undead began to join the battle for the city gate.

Hundreds of Western Region coalition forces guarding the city gate kept falling, and Dunhuang’s east gate was finally opened by the undead.

The moment the city gate opened, countless undead swarmed into the city like ants, and a large number of skeleton cavalry rode into the city on horseback, killing the remaining enemies behind the city gate.

Looking at the undead swarming in, the Western Region coalition forces at the city gate could only retreat into the city.

"Report, the undead have breached the East Gate! The soldiers at the East Gate have retreated, the East Gate has been lost!"

The Queen of Yuezhi and a group of leaders from various countries and ethnic groups had just retreated to the center of the city and were preparing to gather soldiers to break out when a cavalryman hurriedly came to report.

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Dayuezhi and the leaders of the coalition forces suddenly looked even uglier.

This situation undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of their breaking out.

"Yuezhi witch, why don't you cede your land?" Queen Jingjue immediately said to Queen Yuezhi.

Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid the only option is to cede land and give up the city.

"I would like to, but ceding land won't satisfy the Lich King's appetite at all!"

The Queen of Yuezhi thought speechlessly in her heart, it’s not like she hasn’t tried before.

At this moment, she was in no mood to argue with the Queen of Jingjue, and said, "Let's break out as soon as possible!"

In the center of the undead army, as they watched the city of Dunhuang being breached, the hearts of the Western Region envoys sank to the bottom as the city was breached.

The Great Yuezhi envoy immediately said: "Respected Undead Commander, please tell me what you can do to stop the war!"

After hearing this, Sang Biao finally looked the Western Region envoys in the eye and said in an unquestionable tone: "Surrender. From now on, the Western Region will be under the rule of the Lich King. From now on, there can only be one king, and that is the Lich King! All living beings must obey the will of the Lich King!"

"." Upon hearing this, the Western Regions envoys fell silent again.

Sang Biao's meaning was very clear. He wanted the entire Western Regions to become the territory ruled by the Lich King, and the kings of the Western Regions would have to consider themselves his subjects from now on.

However, this is not something that these envoys can decide. This is far beyond their authority and far beyond the bottom line of their country.

"Oh, right!" Sang Biao seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a teasing tone, "You said before that the twenty-three countries in the Western Regions should not be underestimated if they unite. With 600,000 troops, they may be able to defeat us. There are still 6 million men in the Western Regions who can go to the battlefield, and women can also fight."

Upon hearing this, the messengers looked at Sang Biao, not knowing what he meant.

The envoy of Dayuezhi said: "That's right. I think your country doesn't want to suffer heavy casualties. How about we negotiate and withdraw our troops? From now on, all the twenty-three countries in the Western Regions are willing to respect your country as the superior country and pay tribute every year." Although they didn't know what Sang Biao meant by saying this at this time, it was undoubtedly a topic that was beneficial to them.

"Heavy casualties, huh!" Sang Biao sneered. "Are you too naive? What are we? We are the undead, the dead, and the immortal. I don't know if you will suffer heavy casualties, but we will definitely have more and more casualties. You told me that we will suffer heavy casualties. Who gave you the courage?"

"I really hope that you can mobilize all the soldiers and civilians in the Western Region to fight, but I don't know if you have the courage to do so! Or are you just talking to scare me! If the Lich King hadn't forbidden mass killing, do you think I would give you a chance to surrender and allow you to come to see me?"

(⊙﹏⊙)
Upon hearing this, all the envoys from the Western Regions were stunned.

Their greatest confidence in the peace talks was that they had an army of 300,000 and could mobilize all the men in the Western Regions. Even then they exaggerated the number a lot, saying it was an army of 600,000 and 6 million men.

Now they are told that all the men from the Western Regions are just what the other party wants, and the other party is eager for them to brag even more.

Looking at the confused Western Regions envoys, Sang Biao continued, "Of course, you can choose not to believe and go to war, but the treatment you will receive will naturally be different from surrendering now! The lives of your people will also be greatly different because of your decision!"

"This!" The hearts of the envoys from the Western Regions sank to the bottom.

The Great Yuezhi envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Respected Undead Commander, our power is limited. Please give us some time to report back!"

"Go back?" Sang Biao said sarcastically, "Why go back? Do you think you can hide your actions from us? The sky is full of our scouts. Every move of the entire Western Region is under our eyes. It won't be long before the commanders of your twelve countries will be here! Just wait!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a skeleton eagle landed on Sang Biao's shoulder, as if confirming his words.

Seeing the skeleton eagle landing on Sang Biao’s shoulder, the envoys from the Western Regions lost their last hope.

The Great Yuezhi envoy said, "May I ask the respected Undead Commander, if we choose to surrender and join your country, what will happen to our people? What will we have to do? What will we have to abide by?"

Sang Biao opened his arms and faced the east, saying enthusiastically: "It is your honor to join us and become the people of the Lich King. The great Lich King will protect you!"

'Fanatics!'

The Western Regions is a region with diverse beliefs. They were very familiar with Sang Biao's posture at this moment. It was clearly the appearance of a fanatical believer.

This made them feel even more disappointed.

"certainly,"

"Your king can continue to rule you, but you can only be his subjects. My king will station troops in the Western Regions. You are also allowed to have your own beliefs, but you must pay a bone tax to the king every year and obey his will."

"Bone tax!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Yuezhi envoy couldn't help but exclaimed and his face turned pale.

Of course he knew about the bone tax. The Huns were required by the Lich King to pay this bone tax. The once invincible grassland wolf tribe was now oppressed by this bone tax!

Seeing the Great Yuezhi envoy suddenly screaming and looking pale, the other envoys from the Western Regions suddenly felt nervous.

The Great Yuezhi are indeed hiding something important. This bone tax must be very complicated.

Sang Biao asked coldly: "Why? You don't want to?"
