Chapter 1701: Eating Humans

“Greetings, city lord.”
“Greetings, city lord.”
“Very good.”
Satisfied with their capitulation, Menghu declared loudly, “You know the rules. Surrender all your wealth and half of your food, and you may live.”
“Disobey, and you die.”
The people were scared out of their wits at this point, and no one was crazy enough to resist. They had no choice but to surrender their wealth and food obediently.

“He dares to try and trick me. He overestimated himself.”
The soldier eyed the surrounding people with a blood-drenched crescent saber in his eyes and cruel eyes that resembled a viper’s. “Just try and emulate this idiot’s example. I promise they will meet his fate.”
