Xue Shizhi walked in front of Xiu Jie, stopped, bent down and said, "Lord Xiu, please."
Xiu Jie nodded proudly and ordered Weifeng to go into the city and take over the army. After taking control of the city, Xiu Jie led a group of people into the city slowly.
Onlookers stood under the eaves on both sides of the street. They watched Xiu Jie leading his army through the middle street and whispered softly.
"That person must be Xiu Jie."
"It looks so awesome."
"No, I heard that the battle strength is the highest in the Central Continent, and no one can defeat it. Fortunately, the city lord is wise and opened the city gate to surrender, otherwise we would be in misery."
"Return to the city lord, don't shout anymore."
"Yeah."
In the middle of the street, Xiu Jie's eyes swept across both sides sharply. Some timid people looked down in fear when they saw Xiu Jie's eyes.
"How many citizens are there in your city?" Xiu Jie asked.
Xue Shizhi, who was following Xiu Jie, replied cautiously: "Lord, this remote place in the southwest has a small population, with only more than 600,000 people. I will have people prepare for demotion and submit the specific figures immediately."
Xue Shizhi spoke softly and behaved respectfully, which made Xiujie feel comfortable: "Don't worry, you will still take care of this city for me from now on."
Hearing this, Xue Shizhi was overjoyed and thankful that it was better to surrender: "Thank you Lord, I will do my best."
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, after Xiujie took over some affairs, he remembered that the news that Nan'e City had been captured had not been sent back to Roy City, so he picked up a pen, wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it to Roy City.
In the past few days, Futuo was worried about not receiving Xiujie's battle report, so he called Lan Yao and Li Qun'ao.
"Do you have any news from Nan'e?" Futuo asked.
Lan Yao shook her head gently, her hair scattered around her shoulders swaying, adding a touch of charm, and said softly: "No."
Li Qun'ao also shook his head vigorously and said roughly: "I have been waiting for a few days. There is no news from the lord, so nothing will happen."
After saying this, Lan Yao looked a little anxious. If Xiu Jie performed great deeds, her identity as a lord's wife would be gone. After finally marrying a great hero, everything else would be gone, and only this identity would be left.
"Fu Hongguan." Lan Yao shouted softly.
For Lan Yao, the only person he can trust now is Fu Tuo.
Futuo lowered his face and said after a while: "It's definitely no problem to attack Nan'e. I'm really worried if we don't send a battle report. Now all the cities in Central Continent are fighting. There are fewer and fewer city lords and more and more lords. I just received the news. , Qiao Fu from Zaluo City has just captured Bonan City, I’m afraid it will be a matter of time before he becomes the lord.”
Li Qun'ao said anxiously: "People say that the lord has nothing to do with us. Official Fuhong, you should think about our lord."
"Report." A soldier came over and shouted: "I just received a letter from the lord."
Lan Yao didn't wait for the soldier to finish speaking, and grabbed the letter and read it.
"Lord, it's true," Lan Yao complained, feeling relieved in her heart: "We have captured Nan'e City, and are preparing to return to the east to capture Essai City."
The news did come late, but he was finally reassured. Futuo said: "Okay, the battle force of Esai City in the east is stronger than that of Nan'e. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture it. Madam Lord, you can go to support according to my strategy." Lord." Futuo took a letter and handed it to Lan Yao.
"I'd better go." Li Qun proudly argued.
Futuo shook his head and said: "The lord is gone, and although the military power is given to the lord's wife, Captain Li is the number one in the army and no one can replace him. Only by staying in the city can we ensure that Roy City is safe."
When Futuo said this, Li Qun'ao couldn't argue anymore and could only agree.
After receiving the letter, Lan Yao said goodbye to Futuo and Li Qun'ao, and left Roy City with the army.
In Bonan City in the northern part of Central Continent, Qiao Fu was checking the resource list, household register and other information that had just been delivered.
Just after Bonan City was captured, the sounds of fighting from the remnant army's resistance could still be heard in some places, but they soon disappeared.
A rush of footsteps came from the street outside the city lord's mansion.
When we arrived in front of the city lord's mansion, we heard a long announcement: "Go and inform the city lord that someone is attacking our Zhaluo City."
When the soldiers guarding the city lord's palace heard the information, they hurriedly took the letter from the person who came over and rushed into the city lord's palace.
Qiao Fu received the letter in the office, opened it and read it. His heart was shaken, and he looked panicked. He whispered softly: "This Dong Yuan came at the right time." After thinking about it, he quickly walked out of the office.
The military camp was not far from the city lord's palace. Qiao Fu arrived at the military camp with a few soldiers.
A thin but muscular man came out immediately.
"City Lord, why are you here?"
The man was about thirty years old. He spoke in a low voice and a calm tone. Seeing Qiao Fu's look, he knew something big was going on.
"Shen Qianyao, hurry up, gather the troops and support Zhaluo City."
Shen Qianyao knew something was wrong, but when he heard that he was going to support Zhaluo City, he was still stunned for a moment and said, "City Lord, what happened to Zhaluo City?" As he asked, he ordered his men to assemble the army.
Qiao Fu looked worried and sighed: "You should still be careful about Dong Yuan. I didn't expect him to attack us so soon."
When he came out, Qiao Fu had already deployed in Zaluo City to prevent a sneak attack. However, most of the troops were transferred away, and the troops in the city were limited and could not resist for a long time.
Shen Qianyao gathered his troops, reported to Qiao Fu, and followed Qiao Fu back to Zhaluo City with his silver spear in hand.
The walls of Zhaluo City were covered with corpses. This was Dong Yuan's second attack failure.
Looking at the city that was about to collapse due to the wind and rain, he didn't expect to be able to hold on to two attacks. Anger rose on Dong Yuan's face.
Qian Huichao, who accompanied Dong Yuan on his expedition, stood aside and said, "As long as the city lord orders another attack, Zhaluo City will definitely not be able to withstand it."
When resisting the second attack, Dong Yuan had already seen that Zhaluo City would be destroyed soon. However, the follow-up army failed to keep up and the losses would be too great if they attacked by force, so he did not continue the attack.
"Bai Likui." Dong Yuan shouted with a bit of anger.
Hearing this voice, one could tell that Dong Yuan was already angry, and calling out his name would definitely mean something bad.
"City Lord, my subordinates are here," Bai Likui said.
"Lead the army to attack, and I will lead the archers to suppress the city tower. If you can't break the city this time, you don't have to come back."
War is no joke. It is too easy to say that you can conquer a city. Even if there is an empty city on the opposite side, you cannot be careless.
Bai Likui wanted to refuse Dong Yuan's order, but if he disobeyed before the battle, he might be killed by the formation. Fortunately, there were no heroes in the city in front of him. With his own fighting power, he could win it in no time.
"Yes, City Lord."
After Bai Likui finished speaking, he led the army to attack. Dong Yuan personally led the archers and fired arrows at the tower, suppressing the Zhaluo army on the tower.
The military situation was urgent, and the third battle report was sent to Qiao Fu. Qiao Fu, who was looking at the battle report, said anxiously: "Shen Qianyao, you immediately lead two battalions of troops, throw away all self-respect, and support Zhaluo City at full speed. I will lead The army will arrive soon."
