Chapter 13: Let's have a battle between men and women.
The number of Dawn's remaining forces was not even in the same league as Jones's army.
Jones's army was a small group of only 500 people, while the remnants of the Dawn Army numbered nearly 5000, not to mention their large amount of sophisticated equipment.
Those three missile launchers were enough to send chills down your spine.
Soon, a modified SUV pulled up and stopped, and a very attractive woman got out.
Wearing a charcoal-black, tight-fitting combat leather suit with an extremely cinched waist, she accentuated her sleek and graceful curves.
Wear matching work pants with tapered cuffs, tucking the cuffs into non-slip combat boots.
He wore an open denim trench coat that billowed in the wind, and a metal badge pinned to his shoulder, giving him a cool and wild look.
Her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, with stray strands clinging to her jawline. She had sharp eyebrows and eyes, and an upright posture.
"Who is the city lord?"
Luo Tang looked at the Jones Army on the city wall.
The clever monkey and Jones Jun beside him consciously took a step back, pushing Shi Yuan to the front.
Shi Yuan felt like he had been sold out.
"I am City Lord Shi Yuan. May I ask what brings Chief Luo Tang here?"
Shi Yuan's gaze also fell on Luo Tang, his eyes filled with wariness.
If Luo Tang attacks the city, he will kill this woman immediately.
Just like when they killed Old Jones, it had a deterrent effect.
"Shi Yuan, that's a very gentle name. My name is Luo Tang, and I came here specifically to find you."
"Looking for me?"
Am I famous now?
"I know all your achievements. You took down Old Jones and killed two Tier 1 alien beasts on your own. In area 763, you can be considered a master."
Area 763 is the area to which Shiyuan belongs, and it is the planning number of the Wasteland Territory.
Like his city, the planning within the Survival Alliance was also used for simple digital recording.
"I want to form an alliance with you to deal with the impending disaster."
Luo Tang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Shi Yuan frowned.
Alliances in the wasteland are meaningless; one moment you're laughing and talking, the next you might be betrayed and wiped out.
"You should know that the northern fortress is on the verge of collapse, right?"
"Old Jones bought this city to defend against the impending horde of alien beasts."
"As far as I know, the defenses of the northern fortress can only hold out for three days at most."
"What if I disagree?"
Shi Yuan's face turned cold.
"If you don't agree, then we'll beat you until you do."
"Luo Tang, don't threaten others so easily. We're here to seek cooperation, not to fight and kill."
A tall, thin, well-mannered middle-aged man wearing round-framed glasses walked out from behind Luo Tang.
The middle-aged man looked at Shi Yuan on the city wall and introduced himself: "I am Luo Ping, the commander of the Dawn Army, and Luo Tang's uncle."
"Uncle, why waste words with him? Let's just fight. He may be strong, but he's only one person. By the time he runs out of energy, he might not be able to kill us all."
Luo Ping: ? ? ?
Shi Yuan: ? ? ?
Girl, what kind of indecent words are you using?
It emphasizes the enemy's strength while belittling oneself.
Or do we want to tell the other party that we are afraid of him?
Luo Ping covered his face and sighed, "Brother Shi Yuan, we have no ill intentions in coming here."
"If old Jones were in charge of the city, we wouldn't be wasting our breath here; we would just take it over."
"But you are different. You killed two Tier 1 alien beasts all by yourself. Looking at the entire area, your combat strength is among the top. To be honest, we don't want to be your enemy."
"I understand your concerns. The fact that you were brave enough to kill Old Jones for the sake of the refugees in the city shows that you still have some humanity left."
"You can ask Jones Jun around you about the reputation of our Dawn Army in this area."
Shi Yuan turned to the clever monkey beside him: "How credible is his statement?"
The clever monkey shrank his neck and answered honestly, "The Dawnbreaker Army has certain cooperation with the Survivor Alliance, Uncertain Factors, and the Annihilation Chapter in the region, which is something that we Jones can't match."
"Moreover, the Dawn Army is different from most wandering armies; they are more compassionate towards refugees."
"Lord, there's something I forgot to tell you. Actually, the Dawn Remnant Army is ranked first in the region, but due to factors such as overall strength, they can only be ranked third."
"This is related to the fact that they have taken in a large number of refugees, which has greatly affected their overall strength."
"In addition, all three major forces had tried to recruit the remnants of the Dawn Army, but Luo Tang rejected them all, saying that he looked down on the three major forces."
"If they're so confident, why do they still call themselves the remnant army?"
You ask me, who do I ask?
Even the clever monkey didn't know the specific reason.
Overall, the remnants of the Dawn Army meet Shi Yuan's standards for cooperation.
What worries Shi Yuan is how long this so-called cooperation and trust can last.
He was all alone, so he could act without restraint.
But what about the refugees in the city and the Jones army that remained?
He knew he couldn't possibly defend this city if he were to truly become enemies with the remnants of the Dawn Army.
But as Luo Ping said...
The monster horde is coming soon. Who can survive such a terrifying disaster?
Various thoughts and ideas collided in Shi Yuan's mind.
In the end, Shi Yuan made a difficult decision.
Choose to compromise.
It's not that we don't want to fight, it's that we simply can't afford to!
Faced with the well-equipped and numerous remnants of the Dawn Army, he had to take responsibility for those behind him.
Shi Yuan's original intention was very simple.
Leading the city's inhabitants to survive in the harsh wasteland environment.
To live a peaceful and ordinary life.
He never even considered those so-called imperial ambitions or grand schemes.
But all of this doesn't seem so easy.
If it weren't for his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he wouldn't have the strength to kill Old Jones and eliminate two Tier 1 alien beasts at the same time.
Today, the 376 cities are facing a full-scale attack from the remnants of the Dawn Army, who will stand here and negotiate with them.
The area around the city wall remained quiet for nearly five minutes before Shi Yuan slowly spoke: "I can form an alliance with you, but I have one condition."
"I want to fight Luo Tang and see if your remnants of the Dawn Army are strong enough to cooperate with me!"
These words caused widespread unrest among the remnants of the Dawn army.
"Overestimating yourself!"
"Who gave him the courage?"
"Chief, this kid is too ungrateful. Why don't we stop negotiating and just attack the city?"
"Yeah, just get to work, why waste so much time talking?"
"This city was originally bought by old Jones; he's just usurping it."
Luo Ping, as the commander, had not expected Shi Yuan to make such a request.
Generally speaking, when two parties form an alliance, they should discuss the distribution of their respective interests and rights.
For example, this city of 376 right in front of us.
Ultimately, who takes the lead and who assists will depend on who has the most influence and the strongest capabilities.
