Lian Da Zhong was a coward with no backbone. He had served the Manchurian Empire and developed a slave mentality.
The style of the Manchurian Empire had been to revert to the ancient ways, where customs and slaves were normal. Many had to refer to themselves as slaves and humble servants in front of Xuan Zhen, otherwise, it was hard to gain his trust or favor.
It was normal under a dictatorship in this apocalyptic times, that the leader’s requests are met. Yue Zhong himself would enslave his enemies, and even in his faction, there is some sort of slavery present. Xuan Zhen liked the style of Ancient China, and his entire Manchurian Empire was more of a backward society.
Lian Da Zhong, this coward, thus headed out on Yue Zhong’s orders, carrying a little white flag as he approached the Mongolian camp fearfully.
The Mongol soldiers looked at him, bewildered. They knew that this man was the only crucial link to their survival.
One general stepped forth suddenly and grabbed Lian Da Zhong’s shirt, barking ferociously, "Halt! What are you up to?!"
Lian Da Zhong was scared out of his wits, and he began to stammer, "This lowly one is called Lian Da Zhong, I’m here on the orders of the Han Alliance’s leader Yue Zhong to advise Great Khan Hu-er Ran to surrender."
The general frowned and waved his hands for his soldiers to stand down. He then brought Lian Da Zhong in and asked with a strange gleam in his eyes, "Did Alliance Chief Yue Zhong say anything in particular?"
Right now, Yue Zhong had brought 3,000 troops to surround the Huangjin Clan, which was still housing over a few tens of thousands of slaves. However, everyone knew that the slaves of the different ethnicities and races would not stand a chance against the well-equipped forces of Yue Zhong. The Mongolian Empire was truly at the edge.
Under such circumstances, even the most loyal of soldiers were starting to waver. Many had already begun to harbor thoughts of surrendering to Yue Zhong. After all, he was not a foreigner, and if they lost the Huangjin Clan stronghold, they would be forced to roam the Central Plains, which would spell death.
Even if they were to take many steps back, and assume that they could flee, where would they flee to? Everyone knew that Yue Zhong had almost gained control over the entire Central Plains. Even if they could flee now, by the time Yue Zhong fully established himself, they would have no place to escape to.
Lian Da Zhong swallowed his saliva, before continuing, "Our Alliance Chief had only given a broad direction. Which is for Hu-er Ran to surrender unconditionally. As long as you guys surrender unconditionally, Yue Zhong would naturally not make things difficult. You must have heard him before, humans won’t be segregated under him. As long as they’re willing to work hard, he will accept anybody. In our Tian Wei Troops, there are Hans, Mongols, even the Korean-Chinese, Khwari, and Uyghurs are accepted. They’re all living in harmony. If you guys surrender, you can definitely be part of us."
"The world is now under threat from the zombies, our human population is dwindling. Leader Yue Zhong is broad-minded and has always been working towards unifying the country. He wants to accept everybody, and he treasures talents. It won’t be too late to surrender to him now. With his skills and wisdom, he’ll definitely unify the country, if you guys work for him now, in the future, as long as you contribute enough, you will be part of the team of founding fathers. By then, riches and fame would come to you naturally, and your future generations will only stand to gain from your wise decisions."
Lian Da Zhong might be someone with no backbone, and liked to kiss ass, but he was truly capable with his words and knew how to adjust to the situation. At the same time, he was crafty, and these all combined together to make him a formidable envoy.
When the general heard his words, his heart couldn’t help but itch, and his face turned warm, as he chuckled, "Brother Lian, I’m called Cha Bi Lai, the vice-commander of the Huangjin Guards. Let’s be friends!"
Lian Da Zhong also went along with the flow as he smiled, "Great!! Great!! Great!! To be able to form a friendship with Brother Cha, a hero of his times, it’s an honor! Why don’t we become sworn brothers?"
"Fine!! From today on, we are sworn brothers!! I’m 36 this year."
"I’m 31 this year! Big Brother!!"
"Little Brother!!"
Cha Bi Lai and Lian Da Zhong both had their own intentions in forging this relationship. Cha Bi Lai wanted to look for someone he could rely on within Yue Zhong’s circle of power, and Lian Da Zhong wanted to leave the Mongolian camp alive. Thus, they became friends.
After becoming sworn brothers, Cha Bi Lai became extremely warm towards Lian Da Zhong, bringing him further into the camp, "My good brother!! Should Alliance Chief Yue Zhong have any likings or tendencies, please remind your big brother I, so I can have some preparations."
