Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 628 - 188 Nan Batian: Capture, Dragon Capturing 18 Palms!!
"Can’t go through the back door!"
"Can’t use the front door either, Qimu Ge and Yelu are blocking it!"
Each piece of news reached Guild Leader Nan, pushing him into a corner.
At this moment, his face looked terrible, anger apparent in his eyes, while Qin Ying, along with several of Guild Leader Nan’s Death Soldiers, followed by his side; the entire Fishing Guild Headquarters was thrown into a state of panic.
Guild Leader Nan then said, "Get the ladder!"
A subordinate quickly brought over the ladder. Guild Leader Nan slowly climbed up the ladder to the top of the courtyard wall, but he didn’t dare to show his whole body, just half of his head, exposing his eyes.
One might wonder why at this moment, Guild Leader Nan wasn’t trying to escape by walking swiftly atop the walls.
The simple reason was the crossbow arrows!
The moment Guild Leader Nan showed his face, he would definitely become the target of these snipers, turning into a live target. Even if Guild Leader Nan had to run, he had to be cautious.
Guild Leader Nan exposed his eyes and saw that outside, the flames soared high, the torches illuminating half of the city, brightly lighting up the entire street.
Under the light of the torches, two hundred members of the Black Cavalry formed a tight siege around the Fishing Guild Headquarters, each one armed with a powerful crossbow aimed directly at Yelu’s mansion. At the same time, Guild Leader Nan spotted nets prepared for capturing people on a nearby rooftop.
If he jumped onto the rooftops, the first thing he’d face was a net right in front of him, and if he slowed his pace even slightly, the next moment would be a volley of crossbow arrows.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiusi and Elder Liu at the back door, Qimu Ge at the front, and the hidden Energy Transformation Masters could all strike at the first opportunity, making it impossible for him to escape even if he sprouted wings.
Realizing all this, Guild Leader Nan knew that direct escape was no longer possible.
Yelu had dared to surround his mansion; they must have made thorough preparations, so leaving quietly was impossible.
The only solution left was to fight with all his might!
"I, Guild Leader Nan, have ruled over Mianshui for decades not to suffer such fates, having experienced countless thrilling scenarios. Although today seems perilous, it is not without a chance for a turnaround."
"Open the courtyard gate!"
Guild Leader Nan decided to confront the situation head-on. With a shout, his subordinates immediately opened the gates of the Fishing Guild.
Guild Leader Nan grabbed his saber, leading a group of Death Soldiers and Qin Ying out of the gate.
At that moment outside, someone exclaimed, "Look, Guild Leader Nan is coming out, he’s out!"
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned towards the direction of the gate, and then Guild Leader Nan was seen walking out from there.
Qimu Ge spurred his horse forward a step, standing in front of Yelu, who squinted his eyes at Guild Leader Nan and stared silently.
At this moment, Guild Leader Nan holding a precious saber, walked forward and greeted Yelu with a salute, "Lord Yelu, what brings you with your troops in the dead of night to surround our Fishing Guild?"
Yelu responded after a glance at Guild Leader Nan, "Guild Leader Nan, someone has accused you of secretly communicating with the Zoroastrian Sect and plotting rebellion, I have come to ask you to return with us and explain yourself."
Guild Leader Nan frowned and asked, "Who? Who accuses me of colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect?"
Upon hearing this, a voice from beside him said, "Me, Chen Jiusi!"
Hearing this, Guild Leader Nan suddenly turned his head to see Chen Jie coming out from the left side of the street, obviously having circled around from the back door.
At the same time, another voice also came through, "I also accuse."
Upon hearing this, Guild Leader Nan looked over and saw Guild Cao’s Gang Leader, Liu Laoguai, who had also circled around from the right side.
With these moves, they positioned themselves in a tactical formation surrounding Guild Leader Nan in the middle, making Guild Leader Nan furrow his brows tightly and his grip on the saber involuntarily tightened, creating a highly tense atmosphere.
Guild Leader Nan squinted his eyes at Chen Jiusi, then suppressing the frustration in his heart, turned to look at Yelu and said, "Lord, you also know the situation between Chen Jiusi and me, always at odds. He accuses me of colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect, but his real purpose is to have me killed and take my place as the leader of this Fishing Guild!"
"Lord, I beg you not to fall for this villain’s scheme!"
After hearing this, Yelu did not respond but looked at Guild Leader Nan and said, "Guild Leader Nan, you speak well, and we are aware of your grudge with Chen Jiusi. However, this time he is not framing you!"
"Eh?"
Guild Leader Nan’s expression changed as he looked at Yelu. Yelu continued, "Guild Leader Nan, let me ask you, how goes the search for the Zoroastrian Sect’s military equipment that I tasked you with?"
Guild Leader Nan replied, "Lord Yelu, wasn’t it a fifteen-day timeline?"
"Oh, so you mean that you haven’t found the armaments yet?"
Guild Leader Nan saluted and replied, "That’s correct."
Yelu asked, "So, what will you do if you can’t find the armaments when the time comes? How will you answer for it?"
Guild Leader Nan replied, "I, I will certainly turn myself in to Lord Yelu, confess my crimes, and accept punishment!"
"That’s not happening, is it? How do I feel like you might secretly make a set of military equipment to deceive me?"
Yelu stared at Guild Leader Nan.
Guild Leader Nan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, "Lord Yelu, just a joke, how could I possibly do that."
Yelu scoffed and asked, "Then how do you explain the North Mountain Iron Mine?"
"W-What North Mountain Iron Mine?"
Guild Leader Nan stammered nervously, hearing this, Yelu laughed, "Haha, I knew you wouldn’t confess. Bring them in!"
At his command, suddenly a group was brought forward; they were the Death Soldiers captured from within the North Mountain Iron Mine.
These Death Soldiers knelt before the two forces, and as soon as they appeared, Guild Leader Nan’s face turned incredibly grim.
