Looking at this ridiculous scene, right now Liu Kang is unsure which group of people is more absurd. He grabs a shield from the soldier next to him and uses it to defend himself and the governor, while the soldier looks at him with a weird stare.
The entire corps is carrying the Dragon Claw Corps's banner up high and unless you are rebelling, you would open the gate for the army that keeps your province safe. Not to mention that these insane soldiers are not even raising their soldiers when the city defence force has their bows aimed at them.
The city defence force is not using wooden arrows, but arrows that can hurt or even kill cultivators! Once they fire, there would be casualties but it is also clear that this group of soldiers would also immediately retaliate and start slaughtering the city defence force.
The city defence force main purpose is to defend the army from spirit beasts and buy time for the army to arrive if a group of cultivator attacks. Every city only has a garrison of around two thousand defenders and there is no way they are able to push back this army of fifty thousand soldiers.
General Liu stares at the captain with a frown but does not say or do anything.
In this time spent at Governor Shang's side, Liu Kang has noticed something. That General Liu was actually not the person in charge of this operation. While he was the person who gave all the orders and commanded all the soldiers, he would actually not kill anyone if the governor does not give the kill order.
As Governor Shang started walking closer to the city gates, Liu Kang had to move in tandem with him. Soon Governor Shang stopped and looked at Liu Kang in frustration and said, "Lower the shield. They're not going to fire…"
Governor Shang then took out a medal from his pocket and tossed it to the captain on top of the city wall and said "I am Governor Shang, and we have come to Lu Wang city on official business. That is the Emperor's medallion. Open the city gates now and let us in or we will execute all of you on the grounds of rebellion."
Once Governor Shang finished his saying that General Ling knocked his spear on the ground and all the soldiers moved to a combat stance immediately.
*BANG*
The sound of the soldier's shifting their stance, drawing their sabre and raising their shields echoes out loudly. The city defence force faces changes quickly and fear can be visibly seen on their faces.
The captain quickly summons his aide and the aide runs out of sight and he says "The mayor will be here shortly. Please wait for a few minutes."
About ten minutes later, a well dressed man appears on top of the city wall and he shouts "State your purpose! I know you sacked and burned Lin Yu city and He Jin city! If you do not make it clear what your purpose is, we wil-"
*szzzt*
Before he could finish the sentence, an arrow hits his forehead and pins him onto the wooden pillar behind him. The city defence force immediately draws their bow back but the captain shouts "STOP!"
Before the captain could say anything, Governor Shang interrupted him and said "I will count to three. If you do not give the order to open the gates, I will judge all of you as rebels and you will all die."
The captain shakes in fear and looks at the other captains without knowing what to do as Governor Shang counts down.
"One…"
"Two…"
Before he could count to three, a sword slash from inside the city chops the city gate into two.
"Does this count as the city gates being opened?" A man's voice echoes out from inside the city.
