The First Tyrant of Daxia

City Lord's Mansion.

Opatera was a little restless.

The shouting and screaming in the city became louder and louder, and it was obvious that Long Xiao had already started fighting with them.

But both sides seemed to be in a stalemate, and the battle was at a stalemate for a long time.

In order to launch a surprise attack on the city of Tanai, Oppatradelta would definitely not bring a large number of troops, so the troops he brought were definitely elite.

But what made Oppatra uneasy was that with Delta's character, he would never just destroy something and leave.

She suspected Delta had some more tricks up his sleeve.

But she couldn't imagine what the other party wanted to do.

While he was thinking, a soldier rushed in hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Opatra's heart tightened, thinking that Delta was about to reveal his dirty tricks.

The soldier hurriedly said, "Lord Opatra, many residents suddenly appeared near the City Lord's Mansion and came to avoid it. The scene has become very crowded."

As Delta's hunting cavalry and Long Xiao's army were fighting, the battle was very fierce, with heavy casualties, and corpses and blood everywhere.

In order to survive, these residents had no choice but to run back and avoid the war.

At this time, the City Lord's Mansion, guarded by a large number of troops, naturally became the last safe place in Tanai City.

As a result, a large number of residents rushed into the city lord's mansion at the back to seek shelter.

Oppatra frowned and hurried out of the City Lord's Mansion to check.

When they walked out and looked around, they saw a large crowd of city residents blocking the way outside the City Lord's Mansion. However, due to the soldiers blocking the way, they had no way of getting close.

When they saw Opatera appear, they immediately shouted, "Lord Opatera, please protect us, we are all citizens of Daxia!"

Seeing so many refugees, Oppatra naturally felt soft-hearted, and besides, the city of Tanai had been conquered by Daxia, and these residents were the people of Daxia. No matter what, Oppatra could not leave these people alone.

Opatera looked at the city lord Charles and asked, "Is there a large enough place to stay near the city lord's mansion?"

Charles said quickly: "Sir, there is a large lawn behind the City Lord's Mansion that can accommodate many people, but it is definitely impossible to accommodate all of these residents."

Charles originally intended to build a palace on the large lawn, but since Delta sent people to occupy it, the plan had to be shelved.

After all, even if it was built, the palace would not belong to him, so why would he spend so much time and money on it?

"How about I take some people in to take shelter first?" Charles asked cautiously.

"no need."

Opatera shook her head. “Since we can’t accommodate so many people, no matter who we let in, those who didn’t get in will have opinions. Instead of that, it’s better to let them stay outside.”

As the saying goes, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Since it is impossible to protect everyone, then don't protect a minority, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among the majority.

Opatera shouted: "General Zeng, you ask the soldiers to let them in, and then push the defense line out."

"Yes, Master Opatra!"

Zeng Yi quickly commanded his soldiers to open a gap in the defense line.

The residents outside the protective line all showed surprise on their faces and rushed in from outside like a school of fish swimming upstream.

"Keep order! Let the elderly and children come in first!"

Opatera looked at the disorderly residents and shouted at them.

But these voices were quickly drowned out by the residents' shouts.

Opatera glanced at Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi immediately understood and led the army to maintain order.

Faced with the cold light of swords, these insane residents finally regained their sanity.

Ergou was trying desperately to squeeze forward amid the huge crowd.

He didn't care about his falling apart body and limped wildly through the streets.

We also met a lot of fleeing residents on the way. They all said they wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion because there were a large number of soldiers guarding it and it was the safest place.

Ergou was originally going to the City Lord's Mansion, but now that he had so many residents as companions, he followed here.

He knew that the main target of those men in black was Opatra, because Opatra was not only Qin Yun's woman, but also the main official of this operation.

Killing Opatra would be enough to make Qin Yun regret making an enemy of the Macedonian Empire.

That's why Ergou ran over here desperately.

After finally squeezing to the front of the crowd, Ergou shouted angrily, "Lord Opatera, be careful, there are assassins trying to kill you!"

The eyes of a dozen strange figures in the crowd moved, and then they quickly exchanged glances.

They didn't expect that someone had discovered their target.

If we wait until Opatra reacts, the difficulty of assassination will be greatly increased under the heavy protection of the Jinyiwei.

With this thought in mind, the assassin in the dark immediately took action.

Opatara was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Ergou's words. She suddenly felt the hairs on her body stand on end and a murderous intent came towards her.

Almost without thinking, Opatra reached directly to her waist.

At the same time, dozens of masked men in black suddenly jumped out among the countless residents, with grim eyes.

One of the men in black was the fastest. He appeared in front of Opatra in a flash, then took out a cold dagger and stabbed directly at Opatra's vital points.

In terms of martial arts alone, this man in black is even stronger than the leader of the men in black, and his speed is astonishingly fast.

go to hell!

The man in black gave a ferocious smile, as if he had foreseen Opatra's death.

The next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded.

"boom!"

The man in black stared at Opatra, or rather, the black weapon in her hand.

At this time, his chest had exploded, blood splattered everywhere, and his flesh and blood were blurred, accompanied by the smell of charring and gunpowder.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

The man in black looked at the black weapon in confusion, and finally fell down powerlessly.

Opatera threw away the blazing musket in his hand, not caring about the bodies of the men in black in front of him, and shouted hurriedly: "Capture them!"

Everything changes in just a moment.

Zeng Yi also reacted at this time and quickly shouted: "Protect Lord Opatra!"

Five hundred Jinyi Guards had already stood in front of Opatra.

Those men in black were ready to die. They took out their grappling hooks and rushed towards Oppatra.

But the Jinyiwei were not just for show. They all waved their weapons and knocked the flying claws to the ground.
