A big black bear stood in front of Ocean City Wall, roaring loudly at Zhao Renshu. Zhao Renshu nodded to the beast, and the big black bear slowly disappeared. On the battlefield, the bear summoned by Guozhao Ziqiang also disappeared.
Xu Baohai on the other hand returned to the shore searching for Qingyu from one tent to another. He called out for Qingyu, "Ah Ya! Ah Ya, where are you?"
Xu Baohai and his pirates were surrounded by centaur troops, and their nearest ship was destroyed. In a blink of an eye, everything he worked so hard to accomplish disappeared. His ten thousand army was defeated by a well-trained unknown army that came prepared for war. Ten thousand people died of serious injuries. There were less than four hundred people left beside him.
What emerged from the centaur soldiers was Guo Baiyu. He said, "Please surrender, everyone. I will negotiate with the mayor on your behalf. All of you will not get cruel punishment or be executed. Now, everyone should know that you will not be able to win against the well trained army of Horsemen Land."
The pirates dropped their weapons one by one.
Xu Baohai pointed his sword at Guo Baiyu, "Guozhao hunter. You..."
He flew to Guo Baiyu and attacked Guo Baiyu, but his attack was blocked by Guozhao Zhiqang. Guozhao Zhiqang counterattack Xu Baohai. When Xu Baohai swung his sword, Guozhao Zhiqiang blocked the sword attack with his foot by kicking Xu Baohai's hand up high prevent the sword's attack to hit Guo Baiyu. He quickly swayed behind Xu Baohai and severed Xu Baohai's right arm. As the blood surged onto the sand, Xu Baohai screamed in pain, and his severed arm holding the sword fell on the sand. Guozhao Zhiqiang kicked Xu Baohai hard on the back of his right knee and Xu Baohai fell on both of his knees. Guozhao Zhiqiang then aimed his sword at Xu Baohai's neck.
Gouzhao Zhigiang said coldly, "My master orders you to surrender."
Xu Baohai spit on the sand and said, "I will never surrender and become someone's prisoner." He grabbed the sword with his left hand and turned his head to the left. He slit his throat.
The centaur soldiers guarded the rest of the pirates and drove them towards the city gate. When the centaur and the prisoners were very close, the gate of the city opened. It was Mayor Du and his colleagues who came out to greet them. The citizens of Ocean City also came out to see the mighty centaur soldiers.
Ping'an, Zhao Renshu, Lim Peizhi, the Huang sisters, and the fifty hunters walked forward. The people stood aside and made way for the heroes. When Guo Baiyu saw Ping'an, he jumped off Yuping's back and ran towards his wife. Guo Baiyu hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
Mayor Du, "Guozhao hunters they are?"
Guo Baiyu, "They are soldiers of Horsemen Land." He walked between Siyuan and Yuping. "This is Prince Siyuan, this is Prince Yuping of Horsemen Land."
Zhao Renshu chuckled and said, "Hah, Xiao Yuping is all grown up now." He rubbed Yuping's back. "Are you now like twenty?"
Yuping shook his head, "No, I am three years old. I was a couple days old when we part." Yuping picked Ping'an from the ground and hugged her tight. "I miss you, Sister Ping'an." Then, he put Ping'an down. He took out a bag and threw it to Zhao Renshu, "For you."
Ping'an, "I miss you too."
Zhao Renshu opened the bag. It was a red apple. "It has been three years?" He scratched his chin with his left thumb. "Thank you. No mainlander's apple tastes like these."
Siyuan, "Mayor Du, our work has been completed. We will not help you clean up the fields. We have the main responsibility to protect the northern fortress we are going back now."
Mayor Du, "I will never forget your kind deeds." He bowed to the two princes.
Siyuan, "We are here because Doctor Guozhao asked us. If you want to thank someone it should be him."
Mayor Du, "In any case, I still thank everyone who came to our rescues." Mayor Du and the residents of Ocean City bowed three times to the centaur soldiers.
When Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at the powerful soldiers, he recalled the conversation he had with his master about why people were afraid of Guozhao Hunter. Now, he understands why people are afraid of Hunter Guozhao.
Mayor Du, "Good luck to everyone on your journey home." He and his four generals bowed to Siyuan.
Siyuan, "Thank you." He turned to Ping'an with his hand on his chest and nodded.
Ping'an smiled and nodded at Siyuan.
The centaur soldiers rushed back to the city wall. Siyuan and Yuping were the last to despair into the portal gateway. After the centaur soldiers left Zhao Renshu, Guo Baiyu walked to the painted magic portal gateway. Zhao Renshu poured water from his bota, while Guo Baiyu wiped off the blood magic circle with a handkerchief. After they wiped off the magic circle, they returned to the group of people.
Guo Baiyu looked at Mayor Du and said, "Mayor Du, I have something to discuss with you."
Mayor Du, "Savoir, please speak up."
Guo Baiyu looked at the prisoners and said, "They may have done unforgivable things in the past, but now they are prisoners of war. I hope Mayor Du will not impose cruelty or death penalty on them."
Mayor Du, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Guo Baiyu, "I suggest that they bury the dead and fix the city as a penalty. Once they have completed the reconstruction of the city, please send them to Waterfall City." He looked at Lim Peizhi. "If people have the right guidance, they can change." Guo Baiyu looked at the prisoners. "I assure them that if they surrender, they will not be subjected to cruelty or the death penalty."
Lim Peizhi, "I will make sure that they arrive at Waterfall City after they have completed the reconstruction of the city."
Mayor Du looked at his four generals and they nodded, "I agree to your request."
Guo Baiyu bowed to express his gratitude to Mayor Du, "I thank you, on the behalf of the prisoners."
Mayor Du held Gou Baiyu's hands, "Don't do that. We should thank you." Mayor Du turned to his citizens on the wall. "Citizens of Ocean City, our heroes."
When the heroes walked past the city gate, the residents of Ocean City cheered.
