The vice admiral escaped on the other side and encountered a patrolling team attracted by gunshots, and everyone saw the vice admiral and approached to inquire.

The vice admiral didn't answer, commanding someone to go back to mobilize people, and to reinforce the blockage of the city gates. Not a single mouse should come out of the city tonight.

Then led the team towards the courtyard.

The courtyard was already deserted.

The reinforcements have also arrived. The majority of the troops are stationed outside the city, with only a small number of security personnel inside the city. He is the head of security, and these people directly follow his orders.

There is also the guard camp of the command post.

The vice admiral knew they didn't run far, they must still be nearby, but the security team only had a few dozen people, and it wasn't easy to find someone in the city for a while.

After searching for a while, there were no results.

One of his subordinates stepped forward and said to the vice admiral, "We don't have many people, it's difficult to search like this."

The vice admiral frowned and thought for a moment, "Go and get the people from the guard camp."

The subordinate hesitated and said, "Will the people in the guard camp listen to us? Can they come?"

The vice admiral confidently said, "Don't worry," and took out his seal from his pocket.

"Deliver this to the commander of the guard camp, he will obey!"

The subordinate expressed doubt, "But the command post will have no one; if General is in danger..."

He didn't say the next words.

The vice admiral looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. If they don't die tonight, then I will!"

The vice admiral recalled the words the General had said to him.

"If their heads don't come, bring your own head instead!"

The subordinate no longer hesitated, turned and executed the order.

The vice admiral looked at his subordinate, then looked in the direction of the command post, with a dark look in his eyes.

Turning around, he continued the search with his men.

At this time, the three people who had fled narrowly escaped several waves of searches, hiding in the dark and not daring to move.

Before long, the vice admiral's subordinates brought a large number of people, and indeed, the commander of the guard camp, after seeing the vice admiral's seal, did not hesitate to bring the people out.

And it did not alarm anyone in the command post, including the General.

The vice admiral whispered a few words to the guard camp commander, and the guard camp commander commanded his men to search.

With the addition of the guard camp, the pressure on the three fugitives increased significantly, almost crossing paths with the search team several times.

The tall man, with a gunshot wound on his shoulder, used a piece of cloth to bandage it, and the hiding did not stop the bleeding much.

It was now affecting his mobility. The three men leaned against a dark corner, and the tall man gasped heavily, saying to the dwarf, "Elder brother! I can't go on anymore, you don't worry about us, just leave!"

"Nonsense!"

The dwarf interrupted his intermittently spoken words.

"But at this rate, none of us can escape!"

The dwarf's eyes were fierce and, with a final bite, said, "Now we can only take a risk!"

The young master was also mentally and physically exhausted. The events of this night far exceeded anything he had ever dreamed of in the first half of his life.

From a carefree young master, he had become a fugitive hiding here and there.

He had hoped to have a way out by following the other two, but in the end, it was a dead end.

At the moment of despair, hearing the dwarf mention a risky move, he couldn't help but urgently ask what the plan was.

The tall man also looked at the dwarf.

The dwarf said sinisterly, "If they don't die, then it's us, and on our own we can't leave the city. So, we have to find someone to take us out of the city!"

The tall man and the young master asked simultaneously, "Who?"

For a moment, neither of them could think of anyone who could take them out of the city in such a situation!

"The General!" the dwarf said directly.

He didn't want to waste time letting the other two think.

Both men were taken aback at first but then realized that indeed, it was only the General who could take them out of the city now.

The young master realized and whispered, "Do you mean we have to kidnap the General?"

"The General is in the command post, heavily guarded. Isn't that asking for death?"

As another group of soldiers came searching from afar, the dwarf said, "Either take the risk, or let them catch us now!"

After saying that, the dwarf got up, looked in the direction of the command post with low spirits, and headed in that direction.

The tall man didn't hesitate and followed the dwarf.

Seeing the approaching search team, the young master had no choice but to get up and follow.

The three men evaded detection multiple times by close margins, moving cautiously towards the command post.

As they saw no one inside the guard camp where they were originally stationed, they realized that everyone had gone out for the search. They considered themselves lucky.

Currently, there were only people guarding the gate of the command post; all the patrolling teams outside had been withdrawn.

The three individuals easily climbed into the command post.

They found that there were only a few patrols inside.

With no effort, the three men found the General's room.

As they quietly marveled at their luck, a patrol team turned and came their way. Both sides were momentarily stunned.

Quickly reacting, the tall man kicked open the door to the General's room and rushed inside.

The patrol team panicked and fired two shots, causing chaos in the command post.

The General was still asleep, but the gunshots jolted him awake. Instinctively, he reached for his gun hanging by the headboard.

But someone was faster than him. The dwarf, like a monkey, leaped up and landed on the General.

Startled, the General fumbled nervously.

Seizing the opportunity of his panic, the tall man lifted him up with one hand.

Pushing the General in front of him, squeezing his neck from behind, the gun pointed directly at the General's head.

At this moment, the soldiers who rushed in aimed their guns at the three of them, the General frantically shouted not to shoot, not to shoot.

As the General could see the people clearly, he realized they were the performers from the troupe he had seen during the day.

Feeling a sinking sensation, "This damn vice admiral!"

The eldest son stepped forward, pressed the soldiers' guns down, and said quietly to the three men, "Release the General, and I'll guarantee your safe passage!"

The three men didn't answer, just leading the General towards the door.

The tall man used the gun to poke the General's temple, yelling at everyone to step back.

Everyone had to step back, allowing the three men to exit.

At this moment, there was a commotion, and the vice admiral and the guard camp commander led their men rushing in.

Seeing the vice admiral come in, the General wanted to curse but was knocked back by the tall man with the gun. The General glared angrily, but the vice admiral didn't even look at him.

He turned to the three men and said, "As long as you release the General, everything will be fine. You can leave the city now."

The tall man chuckled, "If we let him go, we won't be able to leave the city. It's better for the General to send us out!"

"Rest assured, as long as your people don't cause trouble, I'll let you go once we leave the city!"

This statement was directed at the General.

The three men moved back towards the door, pressing the General against the wall with a group of armed soldiers slowly walking them out of the city.

Outside the city gate, the eldest son stopped the three men.

"Can we let him go now? I promise you will be safely allowed to leave!"

As soon as he said this, the tall man's face turned fierce. In one swift motion, he aimed the gun at the General's leg and fired. The bullet passed through the General's thigh, instantly staining his pants red with blood. The General let out a wail, his leg giving out, about to slide downward. But the tall man held him up.

This shot frightened the eldest son, and the people behind him all aimed their guns at the tall man.

Taunting, the tall man yelled, "Come on, shoot! It's worth it to have you be dead with the General by my side."

The General, enduring the pain, shouted at the crowd, "Don't you dare shoot!"

The eldest son eventually lowered his guns.

The tall man burst into laughter and continued, "No one should follow us anymore. I'll let go of the General only an hour later. If anyone follows us, I'll cripple his other leg!"

The eldest son, upon hearing this, halted his steps forward, gesturing for the others to stay back.

For a second time, the few people retreated and disappeared into the crowd's view.

The eldest son was about to follow, but was stopped by the vice admiral: "Let me go, young master, I will definitely bring the General back!"

The eldest son glared angrily at the vice admiral, who continued, "Madam is still in the command post, and all the stationed officers outside have received the message and rushed to the command post. The command post can't be left unattended!"

Glancing around, the eldest son seemed to be contemplating something, but he no longer approached.

Harshly, the vice admiral told him, "If you don't bring the General back safely, I will end your life!"

The vice admiral lifted his head and saluted, loudly proclaiming, "I will safely bring back the General."

Only then did the eldest son turn satisfactorily, appreciating the vice admiral's salute.

The eldest son returned to the command post with his men and instructed his subordinates, "Summon all the officers to the command post for a meeting! No one must bring anyone; remember not a single soldier is allowed!"

The vice admiral watched the eldest son depart, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face.

With his men, the vice admiral headed in the direction where the three men had disappeared.
