"What do we do?" The governmental officials worriedly discussed because this was a moment that would decide their lives, so they had to talk with great haste.
Right now, they could either surrender and live or resist and die. They no longer had any chance of success.
A relatively short governmental official with small eyes said nervously, "I say that we should surrender! If we continue to resist, we'll just be massacred. Think of those innocent residents."
If Shi Jian was still alive, he could at least make sure that everyone stayed loyal. However, now that he was dead, everyone thought for oneself. No one wanted to die, as one would lose everything and no longer be able to enjoy this world.
