"Could you head to the City Lord's mansion and rescue the City Lord and the others? There aren't that many people, at most a few thousand. A level 5 ship can easily accommodate that."

"It's not that I can't, but it's not within the scope of my mission."

Su Mo's eyes lit up, but he still looked troubled.

"It doesn't matter. We're willing to add a reward. We definitely won't let you work for nothing."

"Lord Oula, since you've put it that way, there's definitely no problem."

Su Mo replied with a beaming smile. Rescuing a group of nobles would definitely result in a windfall. This deal was worth it.

"Thank you, Lord Su Mo."

Oula was very grateful.

"It's nothing. Let's go to the City Lord's mansion then."

"Don't you need to wait for your people to come out?"

"No need to wait. They are all seasoned veterans. This little thing won't stump them. We should first go to the City Lord's mansion to see the personnel to be rescued and notify them to prepare for evacuation. This is the top priority. After all, this Mist City could fall at any time."

Su Mo said, appearing to be thinking of Oula and the others.

"Okay."

Oula nodded in agreement.

......

A moment later, Su Mo and the others controlled their mechs and fought their way to a white, eggshell-shaped building.

The streets around the City Lord's mansion were completely torn up, and rows of anti-aircraft weapons of different models rose from the ground, including beam-type anti-aircraft weapons, interceptor missile launchers, and short-range cannons.

At the same time, outside the City Lord's mansion, rows of Generation III standard mechs · Lie Lie and Generation IV standard mechs · Night Guard were guarding without any blind spots.

Any monsters that charged were all killed without exception!

The monster corpses piled up outside were almost like a small hill.

The air was filled with the stench of blood and a pungent fishy smell.

As soon as Su Mo and the others approached, the mechs guarding the City Lord's mansion immediately aimed their weapons at them.

The leading captain noticed at a glance that these mechs did not belong to Lotus Mist City. There were no markings on the chests of the mechs. He shouted sternly, "Who are you?"

At this time, a Night Guard mech opened its cockpit, and Oula climbed out. She said to the guard captain,

"I am Oula from the research institute. These are the rescue personnel sent by Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City). We want to see the City Lord!"

"Lord Oula, you're okay, that's great! And these are really sent by Xinghuan Zhi Cheng? Is reinforcements coming?"

Everyone replied excitedly.

"Things are a bit complicated. We need to see the City Lord first."

Oula didn't explain much.

"Okay, this way please!"

The leading captain immediately opened the way.

Su Mo then led the others into the City Lord's mansion.

.....

Inside the underground conference room of the City Lord's mansion.

Ge Te Luo sat quietly in his seat, his eyes filled with bloodshot due to long-term sleeplessness, and his face was full of exhaustion.

They had been discussing for several days, but still hadn't come up with a reliable solution.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"Is everyone alright!"

A voice broke the silence.

Ge Te Luo and others suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the door of the conference room, they were all stunned in an instant.

"Lord Oula! Why are you here?"

Although the City Lord had sent support over, everyone knew in their hearts that the people sent over were most likely dead.

At this time, Su Mo and others followed Oula in.

Su Mo glanced at the people in the meeting room, there weren't many, only a few hundred people. If they included their families and the like, it would be at most a few thousand people.

"Are these all the people who need to be rescued?"

Su Mo asked.

As soon as he said this, the nobles and officials present were in an uproar, and they asked in shock: "Lord Oula, who are these people? Are they here to rescue us?"

When Pa De Si in the crowd saw Su Mo, his face was also slightly stunned, and then he showed a surprised expression.

He thought about going forward to say hello immediately, but then he restrained himself.

"Everyone, let me explain, they are sent by Xinghuan Zhi Cheng to rescue the scientific personnel. They just happen to have a spaceship, so I thought about taking everyone away together."

Oula quickly explained to everyone.

When Ge Te Luo heard Oula's words, the trace of hope that originally revealed in his old eyes disappeared immediately, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.

They waited and waited, finally waiting for the people from Xinghuan Zhi Cheng, but they didn't expect that they were here to rescue the laboratory.

He had a strong premonition that Mist Star had been abandoned.

Some officials of Mist Star present anxiously asked, "Lord Oula, when will the other reinforcements from Xinghuan Zhi Cheng arrive?"

"This....."

Oula was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Su Mo stepped forward and said to everyone present: "Sorry to interrupt everyone, our time is limited, if you want to leave by boat, please start preparing immediately!"

"This, should we leave first?"

"I think it's okay, maybe reinforcements will come later."

Many nobles present shook their heads and said.

"Enough, do you know what you are talking about? Is this desertion? Ignoring the lives of the people below? What we want is not to escape for our own lives, what we want is to transfer our relatives and compatriots!"

At this time, a general wearing a Generation V mechanical armor with a dark face said very angrily.

As soon as this remark came out, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"General Xi Ta, don't say that."

Ge Te Luo said in a deep voice.

"But City Lord, what is going on?"

Xi Ta slammed the table and said.

Su Mo was confused, then he came back to his senses, coughed, and explained: "Sorry, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Our mission this time is to pick up Lord Oula, we came here because Lord Oula begged us to take some people away, our mission time is limited, so we told you to decide quickly."

At this time, Ge Te Luo walked up to Su Mo, bowed to Su Mo, and said: "Hello! I am Ge Te Luo, the City Lord of Lotus Mist City."

"Hello, Lord City Lord."

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Su Mo was a little embarrassed.

"Can you please save our people, whatever conditions you want, just name it."

Ge Te Luo pleaded.

Su Mo became even more confused when he heard this, and asked tentatively.

"Do you mean to take the people from the city?"

"That's right, this is their only hope."

"This, this is not very good."

Su Mo looked at Oula in embarrassment.

At this time, Oula also pleaded with Ge Te Luo: "Mr. Su Mo, please do a good deed, save as many as you can."

At this moment, everyone present also stood up and looked over.

Faced with the hopeful gazes of everyone, Su Mo was also very distressed. Well, it doesn't matter if it's one sheep or a flock of sheep, there's no difference, it's just more troublesome.

"Okay, okay, let's save as many as we can."

"Great, I'll take you to the shelter now."

City Lord Ge Te Luo replied excitedly.
