Su Yong's dagger was pressed against Elder Er Er's throat. As long as he exerted even a little force, Er Er Er would definitely be killed.
The mission this time was to capture the old man alive, and it was not cost-effective to let him die like this.
Under Su Yong's hold, the two elders slowly stood up and walked out of the sedan bed.
The several guarding natives around him had tense expressions. Looking at the two elders who were being held hostage, they did not dare to step forward, but surrounded Su Yong.
"Two elders, I have to trouble you next. I am a person who knows what I will do if I am forced to do something cruel."
"I understand, I understand." The two elders nodded repeatedly.
Then he shouted loudly to the surrounding native guards, "Step back to me, my elder, and pass on my elder's order to stop attacking immediately and retreat. No action is allowed without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
The expressions of the several escorting natives changed and they finally turned around and left.
The two elders withdrew their eyes and said, "I have followed your words, my warrior. Look at your sword, can you..."
"Two elders, what are you doing now? You have to start and finish everything. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, your life will be fine."
Su Yong carried the two elders and walked towards the middle of the battlefield.
Because the order to protect the natives was conveyed in advance, the fierce fighting between the two sides quickly stopped.
Although many of them did not believe it, the guarding natives were the confidants of the two elders and would never dare to spread rumors.
Not long after they stopped fighting and started to retreat, they saw the two elders being held hostage.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, especially the four priests. Although they were injured, the fact that the two elders were being held hostage still made them nervous.
If looks could kill, Su Yong didn't know how many times he had been killed by these gnawing eyes.
Su Yong didn't care at all. As long as the two elders were in his hands, these natives would not dare to make mistakes.
Su Yong held two elders hostage and walked through the indigenous army. Less than thirty feet away in front, Su Qi'an and Er Meng led people to respond.
Originally, the fighting between the two sides was fierce, but as the two elders were captured, the indigenous army had to stop attacking and chose to retreat.
The retreat of the indigenous troops was what Su Qian wanted to see, and he did not take advantage of the opportunity to continue to counterattack.
Although his regiment and the cavalry regiment had been replaced with the latest weapons and equipment, they were at a numerical disadvantage in this battle.
Actual combat training, tough battles, fierce battles, the fierce battle just now has proved their strength, the battle loss ratio is one to five, Su Qian's side suffered 1,000 casualties, and the indigenous army suffered 5,000 casualties.
This is enough. It is not worth continuing to fight. It will become a war of attrition and violate Su Qi'an's original intention of training troops.
Moreover, the purpose of this battle is to capture the two elders alive. If the goal is achieved, there is no need to continue the fight.
Seeing the two elders being taken down, Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly and patted Su Yong on the shoulder to express his hard work.
The two elders were then handed over to the custody of several soldiers, but Su Qian did not restrain the two elders.
He was brought to a table and motioned to sit down. There were only a few soldiers behind him.
Su Qi'an sat opposite the two elders, not worried at all about the escape of the two elders or the attack by the indigenous troops gathered not far behind him.
No matter who it is, Su Qi'an has absolute confidence to control the two elders as soon as they make any move.
There is only two feet at most between him and Er Er Lao. If Er Er Lao escapes within this range, then he, the Marquis of Dongshan, will not have to do anything.
The two elders sitting opposite Su Qi'an were obviously much calmer now compared to the panic just now. He looked at Su Qi'an and said immediately.
"Master Su is really capable. These 4,000 people can defeat my veteran's 20,000 troops and capture me alive. If this news spreads, Master Su's reputation in Jiaozhou will be lost again." layer."
Su Qi'an did not comment on the compliments from the two elders, and said directly without being interested in him.
"Do you still remember what I, the two elders, said before? I think I should have asked the two elders to sign the contract now.
The ability to make appointments. "
"Of course, Su Hou's strength today has opened my eyes to this elder. I am qualified to sign the contract."
"Then please."
Not long after Su Qi'an's voice fell, a soldier came forward from behind, and a scroll was spread out with dense words written on it.
The general meaning is similar to what Su Qi'an said. In the lower right corner, as long as Mr. Eryuan signs and fingerprints, the contract will take effect.
This contract of peaceful coexistence and non-aggression has great influence.
Especially for the signer, the higher the status, the more noble the status. Once signed, there is no room for regret.
If you regret it midway or even tear up the contract, it will give the other party an opportunity to attack openly and honestly.
Therefore, when signing a contract, the signer will often think about it for a long time and will never sign it unless absolutely necessary.
In the history of the Priest Alliance, this was the only thing signed with Li Kang, but it was signed with Li Kang, which was somewhat unequal.
Although it is uncomfortable to obey Li Kang's orders on certain matters, he is indeed no match for Li Kang due to his lack of strength.
Therefore, this contract is a shame to them to some extent.
The contract with Li Kang has not yet ended, and here comes Su Qi'an. Even though the contract with Su Qi'an is relatively equal, it is still an uncomfortable thorn in the eyes of the old man.
He withdrew his eyes from the contract, looked at Su Qi'an across from him, and said suddenly.
"Suhou is qualified and capable, but I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in signing the contract."
"Old Er Er, are you trying to trick people into seeking death?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Yong behind him turned cold and shouted angrily.
"Young man, don't think that because of your high status, you can be unscrupulous. Okay, you are not a tough talker, so let me see how tough you are."
Several soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, controlled the old man Er, and then placed his palms on the table.
Su Yong's dagger was inserted on the table, only an inch away from the palm of the second elder.
But even at this moment, Elder Er Er showed no sign of fear, his face was calm, as if he didn't care about life and death.
Not to mention Su Qi'an, even Su Yong found the changes between the two elders a bit baffling.
Is this still a person? They didn't know what Mr. Er Er's character was, but some of his subordinates still knew about him.
In his regiment, there were local indigenous soldiers. Before joining the Dongshan Army, he had the honor to meet two elders.
Before meeting the two elders, they were warned about some of the taboos and taboos of the two elders.
Through understanding, they can guess that the two elders have their own emotions just like ordinary people. Even in front of outsiders, they behave calmly and act like a master.
But he was definitely not someone who could disregard life and death. If he were, he wouldn't have turned pale with fear when he was taken down by Su Yong.
At this time, the two elders looked at the dagger close at hand, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Su Qi'an's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her.
Su Qi'an seemed to have thought of something and shouted quickly, "Su Yong, stop him quickly."
"Hey, it's too late." The old man smiled ferociously. The next moment, under everyone's shocked eyes, his head stretched out, and his neck directly touched the dagger on the table.
The dagger slashed across and blood spurted out. Even though the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and blocked the wound on his neck, they still couldn't stop the blood from splattering.
The old man's face was pale, his mouth was open, and his low and unclear voice sounded intermittently.
"Pass...an order to all...people, kill...them!"
After saying this, the elder Er Er hit his head and died.
No one expected that this two-year-old man would be so bloody and commit suicide directly.
This is so unbelievable. Su Qian's eyes flashed. He always felt that this matter was not simple at the moment.
But there was no time for Su Qi'an to think about it, as the two elders died.
The indigenous troops at the rear witnessed it with their own eyes. The next moment, these people immediately burst into earth-shattering roars.
That kind of sound was filled with strong killing intent, and their eyes were red, like crazy beasts.
The two elders are spiritual beliefs in their hearts. Now that their spiritual beliefs have died in front of them, their inner world has collapsed. How can they not go crazy.
"Kill them and avenge the two elders!"
The overwhelming roars gathered together, and the next moment, these indigenous troops rushed directly towards Su Qi'an.
That movement was completely unrelenting.
"A ball, Mr. Protector!"
"The cavalry regiment is assembled. Even if it means death, we will never take a step back!"
Su Yong and Er Meng immediately came to their senses and issued orders as quickly as possible.
The soldiers behind him immediately took action. At this point, it was useless to regret. The other party was going crazy, and the next step was to fight.
Su Qian, who was protected in the middle, frowned. This was a scene he absolutely didn't want to see.
Even if the incoming indigenous troops were annihilated, their casualties would be high. After all, these indigenous people were already going crazy and there was no point in fighting.
The sudden changes on the battlefield not only shocked Su Qian, but Su Fengling, who had been watching the show from behind, was also shocked.
The suicide of two elders was something she didn't expect, but it happened and the natives went crazy.
In this state, it would never be rational to fight head-on. She did not hesitate and immediately led her dragon guards to quickly reinforce them.
He quickly came to Su Qi'an and said, "Su Qi'an, why are you in such a daze? Come on, everyone, follow my orders and cover our retreat."
Su Fengling looked at Su Qi'an who was motionless and deep in thought, shook her head helplessly, immediately gave the order, and was about to pull Su Qi'an away.
Just when Su Qi'an had walked about twenty or thirty steps, he suddenly broke away from Su Fengling and said softly, "I understand, so that's how it is."
The next moment, Su Qi'an returned the same way and came to the corpse of the old man. He looked at it as if he was looking for something. The next moment, his eyes froze.
He stretched out his palm and groped for the elder Er's face, and then seemed to touch something. He pulled hard with his palm, and a piece of human skin appeared in Su Qi'an's hand.
As for the two dead elders, their appearance changed. Looking at the human skin in his hand, Su Qian said coldly.
"As expected of an old fox, he hid it so well. It turned out to be a fake, and he even used a stand-in. He was almost fooled."
