Ban Chao stood up, brought a trembling prisoner to the city lord, and said, "Tell me your plan truthfully, and I will spare your life."

The prisoner quickly kowtowed to Ban Chao to express his gratitude, and then he told the city lord their plan. In fact, they not only wanted to kill Ban Chao and his personal guards during the banquet, but also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the city lord and frame Ban Chao for his death so that they could take his place.

After hearing this, the city lord trembled all over. He didn't know whether to believe this captive who might say anything to save his life. However, one thing was clear: it would be very easy for Ban Chao to kill him at this time.

The city lord had no choice but to tremblingly thank Ban Chao for saving his life. At this time, there were sudden shouts and screams in the city. The city lord thought that the extremists were rebelling, so he quickly asked Ban Chao what to do, and if all else failed, to escape.

Seeing the city lord's cowardly look, Ban Chao shook his head helplessly. He told the city lord not to be afraid, that was the main force he sent to attack Calcutta Town. In fact, those troops did not go to attack Calcutta Town but were waiting for an opportunity nearby. During the banquet tonight, Ban Chao would send people to open the city gate and let the troops enter the city. Then his personal guards would act as guides and lead the troops to attack and kill the extremists in the city and the fence-sitters who participated in the assassination.

Over the course of the night, hundreds of people were killed.

Ban Chao secretly sent a message to Liu Rengui, asking him to wait a little longer as they had to visit Thun Castle again.

A few days later, Ban Chao led a large army, and with the farewell of the city lord and others, marched south to attack the town of Calcutta.

This time, the surviving extremists and fence-sitters in Thunburg were not so eager to rebel. Instead, they waited until Ban Chao conquered the town of Calcutta and immediately launched a rebellion. They put a knife to the neck of the city lord, forcing him to launch an uprising immediately and at the same time cut off Thunburg's logistical supplies to Ban Chao.

Three days after Thunburg rebelled again, Liu Rengui's fleet once again broke into Thunburg's anchorage with great force. The rebellious Sand people did not fulfill their promise to stay and fight in the street, but instead fled out of the city in groups of three or five. As a result, Ban Chao's army once again blocked the city outside and captured all the fleeing rebels, killing nearly a thousand people this time.

After hearing that Ban Chao had conquered Thun Fort for the second time, the villagers of Malen, southwest of Calcutta Town, surrendered out of fear.

After the village of Malen surrendered voluntarily, the village of Amli to the north of Thunburg, the village of Musadi to the northeast, and the town of Buha to the east all began to waver.

Among them, Musadi Village is the closest to Thunburg among the three villages. The village chief wanted to surrender very much, but the young people in the village, especially the extremists, believed that voluntary surrender was a great shame and would not be taken seriously. Therefore, the extremists instigated the village chief to ask Ban Chao for rewards. They said that the more rewards Ban Chao gave, the higher the status of Musadi Village would be in the future.

Ban Chao saw that these extremists wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain military supplies to expand their own power, so Ban Chao agreed on the surface and was willing to give generous rewards, but he asked the village to send two people, one was a respected old man, and the other was the strongest young man.

The extremists in Musadi Village thought that Ban Chao had fallen into a trap. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, they sent a prestigious old man among the extremists and their strongest young warriors to Thunburg to collect the reward.

When they arrived at Thunburg and met Ban Chao, Ban Chao directly exposed their thoughts. Ban Chao did not give them a chance to explain. He directly ordered his personal guards to chop off the young man's head and at the same time whipped the old man a few times.

Ban Chao asked the old man to take a message back that he had seen through their dirty thoughts and that if they did not want their village to be massacred, they should surrender quickly.

The people of Musadi Village were extremely frightened, but the extremists they had placed their hopes on fled the village overnight after hearing the news and rushed to Crescent Castle to seek refuge.

Seeing this, the people of Musadi Village had no choice but to ask Ban Chao for help and voluntarily surrender.

When Musadi village surrendered, Amri village in the north became an isolated village. The village chief and elders wanted to surrender to Ban Chao, but they were all killed by the extremists in the village when they started.

The village chief's nephew was not with him at the time because he was busy. When he learned that the village chief and the elders of the council had been killed, he set a fire and successfully attracted the attention of the extremists. Then he took advantage of the chaos to run to Musadi village to seek refuge.

Because most of the young and middle-aged people in Musadi village were extremists and had fled to Crescent Fort, they were afraid that the extremists in Amli village would take the opportunity to attack them from the south, so they quickly sent two people to escort the young people to Thun Fort to find Ban Chao.

After learning about this, Ban Chao urgently ordered a team of Dark Dragon Knights to aid Musadi Village. According to Ban Chao's speculation, after the extremists in Amli Village came to power, they would certainly seek to open a channel to restore contact with other extremists. So the best way would be to capture Musadi Village.

As Ban Chao expected, when the Dark Dragon Knight arrived at Musadi Village, the villagers were desperately resisting the attack from Amli Village.

When the Dark Dragon Knight joined the battle, the extremists in Amri Village were quickly defeated. They fled to the northwest of Amri Village. The desert, which could have helped them escape the enemy's pursuit, was now completely useless in front of the Dark Dragon Knight.

The two places were so close that the Dark Dragon Knights had no worries about logistical supplies.

After setting a few fires and killing some extremists, the Dark Dragon Knights returned to Musadi Village.

The extremists in Amli village put out the fire and collected the bodies. Their faces were pale and they probably guessed in their hearts what kind of horrific revenge they would face.

As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army. Ban Chao sent troops to escort the nephew of the village chief of Amli village back to Amli village and promoted him to the position of village chief.

With the support of Ban Chao's army, the new village chief massacred Amli village. He not only executed the extremists who killed the village chief and the Council of Elders, but also took the opportunity to kill potential competitors and those who opposed him.

Ban Chao's army did not question the decision of the new village chief. The order they received was to cooperate with the village chief to recapture Amli Village.

With the surrender of Amli Village and Musadi Village, Buha Town faced strong pressure. Buha Town wanted to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Grila Village and Seblin Town, even though the relationship between the three parties was not harmonious before.

After Ban Chao learned about this, he sent flying troops to intercept the messengers of the three parties, while leading his army to attack the village of Gerila, which served as the intermediate connecting point.

When the village of Gelila learned that Ban Chao was coming with a large army, it sent an envoy to express its willingness to surrender to Ban Chao. However, secretly, it asked for help from Buha Town in the north, Waterdan Village in the east, and Sebulin Town in the south.

The people of Gri-La Village attempted to defeat Ban Chao's army in one fell swoop by pretending to surrender.
