On the third day, Bajia was still calling for battle under the city.
In the face of Bajia’s provocation, Lin Ran could only lead his men to answer the battle again.
This time, the number of generals sent by Long Mo was obviously much less.
Already weak, coupled with Long Mo’s pa*sive response, this time resulted in Lin Ran’s own troops losing two members, so that a force of sixty-two men really became a full sixty.
As he hastily retreated, Lin Ran was clogged with anger in his heart.
Long Mo’s actions today had made him very indignant.
He suppressed his anger and led his men to bury two of his men in the small courtyard under the South City Gate.
And he personally erected tablets for the two men.
“War is like this, there are times to fight with men and times to fight with the heart!”
“When you go to war you have to be prepared to face all things that come your way, because some times what can really hurt you often comes from behind!”
To the side, the old soldier wiped the tablet as he muttered to himself.
Lin Ran looked at him without speaking, and after a long while, he bent down and bowed at the old soldier.
“Take care of them!”
After saying that, Lin Ran then turned around and left the place.
Lin Ran’s troops were stationed at the northern city gate, while he went to the City Lord’s residence alone.
“What do you want from me!”
Above the high seat, Long Mo asked indifferently with his eyes closed.
“Why have you only sent a hundred men today!”
Lin Ran stood below, ? looked at him, his voice icy cold.
“Are you questioning me?”
Long Mo suddenly opened his eyes to look at Lin Ran.
“I am questioning you!”
Lin Ran looked at Long Mo with a cold aura in his eyes.
“Lin Ran I’m warning you! This is the Skywolf Domain, my Long Mo’s place, if you are talking to me with that tone of voice, believe it or not, I will kill you!”
Long Mo said in an angry voice.
Lin Ran, however, had a calm face.
“Go ahead and kill!”
“You! Don’t you force me!”
Long Mo gritted his teeth and said.
“I’m forcing you? Didn’t you want to kill me a long time ago? How come now you’re afraid that if you kill me, there’ll be no one to defend you against Bashful?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Bang!”
Long Mo slapped the table violently and stood up straight away.
“Who do you think you are and what? My Heavenly City is heavily guarded and has a forest of formations, would he, an Overlord, dare to enter?”
“Lin Ran, you’re just a commander, kill you! I can still promote a new commander up, do you think you’re important?”
“Is that so?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Then why didn’t you do it? Let’s see, is it because you’re afraid your battle record will fall?”
“What do you mean!”
Long Mo suddenly turned blue and looked at Lin Ran with a cloudy expression.
“You know very well what you mean, don’t forget that the enemy has the Battle Ranking Order in his hands!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice.
“You know about the War Ranking Order!”
Long Mo’s face became even more ugly.
“So what if I know! So what if I don’t know!”
Said Lin Ran as he raised his head to look at Long Mo.
“Long Mo I tell you, this Heavenly City is not your Heavenly City alone, and the lives of the people here are not something you can just bury for you, your Long Mo’s army is not sent and you let me a team of sixty people to resist, your close men are people, but my men are not?”
Lin Ran said with a hint of ice cold in his eyes.
“I Lin Ran put my words here today, tomorrow I will see less than a thousand soldiers at the northern city gate, this northern city gate you will collect yourself! My Lin Ran’s men are not used to send death!”
“What are you saying? You dare to disobey my deployment!”
Long Mo was completely furious.
“Your deployment? Your deployment is to let your own men watch from the city and let my men go to their deaths?”
“Where is Long Yang? Still sleeping in the commander’s palace? Didn’t his men come with us? Where are they now?”
Lin Ran looked at Long Mo and said angrily.
For a moment, he really held Long Mo’s mouth speechless.
“You are indeed very strong in the city, but you have to believe that if you really push me, I will cut off three or two pieces of flesh from your body even if I die!”
“You!”
Looking at Lin Ran’s cold palm that didn’t have the slightest temperature at this moment, Long Mo only felt a chill run through his heart.
“Fine! Fine! I will send someone tomorrow, but remember this, once the battle is over, I will settle this score properly today!”
Long Mo’s eyes were icy cold.
“Anytime!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice, turned around and left.
Today was the day that the feud between the two of them was completely laid bare.
Lin Ran had also figured out a long time ago that it would be better to make it clear directly rather than coming in secret with Long Mo.
I, Lin Ran, can fend off Bashful’s attack, but I’m not stupid, so I’ll be a shield, you’re thinking too much.
Moreover, Lin Ran had long considered the point that Long Mo wouldn’t dare to really do anything to himself, at least not until Long Yang’s men had completed their training Jue Thiao.
If he lost his own resistance, I was afraid that the northern city gate would soon be lost.
Although Ba Xia and the others may not necessarily dare to attack the city, once the gates are lost, his battle merits will be instantly reduced by a very large margin.
And at that time, as long as the Wolf King’s men surrounded but did not attack, soon all the gates of the Heavenly City would become a joke.
And then it wouldn’t take long for the Heavenly City to fall completely, and by then the Heavenly Wolf Domain would really not be his Long Mo’s.
Long Mo’s ranking would drop rapidly and would inevitably attract the attention of the Mysterious Alliance.
This was the last thing he wanted to see, and the one he was most wary of.
He had to keep his ranking in the top ten so that he could rea*sure the Mysterious Alliance, otherwise if he really alerted the Mysterious Alliance.
At that time, he would definitely not be able to keep his position as the guardian general of the Heavenly Wolf Domain, and would probably lose his life as a result.
…..
After leaving the city lord’s residence, Lin Ran then returned to his temporary residence.
The sky was already dark at this time.
When Lin Ran returned to his residence, he found many of his men sitting around the campfire, not saying a word and in a dripping mood.
Lin Ran walked over.
“Commander!”
Seeing Lin Ran arrive, the men all stood up.
“Do it all! I understand how you all feel!”
Lin Ran looked at everyone and waved his hand.
“Commander Lin, no! Lin Ran! We just feel so stifled!”
“Right! Stifled!”
The crowd said.
And the one who had spoken first looked at Lin Ran and continued.
“I’ll call you Lin Ran today!”
“We’ve all been with you since the very beginning, until now! We are glad that we chose you to be the commander and not Long Yang!”
“But we just don’t understand why Long Mo is this kind of person, this is completely different from the mysterious alliance we imagined!”
“We’re not afraid of death, but if we get stabbed in the back like this, we really feel too suffocated!”
“Right!”
The crowd shouted in unison.
Lin Ran looked at this crowd, sighed and said.
“I know that the departure of two comrades today has made it hard for you all, and it’s hard for me too!”
“But we must face the reality that this is war!”
“You complain that the Mystic League is different from what you want to think about, have you thought about it? I’m afraid that many of you sitting here are from large families, think about whether your own families have many people who annoy you a lot too!”
Lin Ran’s words instantly froze everyone in their tracks.
“There are still factions and many villains in your own clans, let alone an alliance?”
“I won’t comment on Long Mo’s character, you can all see for yourselves!”
“But the Mysterious Alliance has always stood for justice a put, and perhaps even now he doesn’t know what’s going on in the Skywolf Domain!”
“And we’ve already arrived here, so we have no choice but to stick around and live until we can finally leave here!”
Speaking here, Lin Ran looked to the crowd and said one last thing.
“I still say the same thing, if you follow me, I will make sure you leave alive as much as possible, but I, Lin Ran, am only human, and there are times when I can’t do anything about it! Like today!”
“I’m sorry!”
Lin Ran bowed deeply at the crowd.
No one felt harder than he did when faced with the departure of his comrades.
Because he was the commander-in-chief! The one who had led the crowd in the fight, and if he had to take his turn at responsibility, he was the one with the most out of everyone present!
“No! It’s not you who’s sorry!”
The crowd looked at Lin Ran and said in unison.
“It’s Long Mo!”
The crowd knew clearly in their hearts that the real culprit was Long Mo!
