“Yes!”
“Your servant obeys!”
All the disciples responded in unison, then surrounded Lu Yuan, leading the charge into the city.
By this point, the city gates were wide open, and the Zhou soldiers who had fled in beforehand were nowhere to be found. Those who didn’t have time to run were kneeling on either side of the entrance, choosing to surrender.
Lu Yuan led a force of over ten thousand, entering through the North Gate without a single obstruction.
In a short while, he took control of the entire North City.
He then led the troops deeper into the city, reaching the government office.
Here, they encountered a group of Zhou soldiers, numbering in the thousands, but they evidently had already received the news of Gui Lianyun’s death.
Upon seeing the approaching Yue people, especially the distinctive red flame symbol of the man leading them, they were instantly terrified.
All of them, numbering in the thousands, scattered and fled without a hint of resistance.
Lu Yuan let part of his troops chase and capture these fugitive soldiers, then led the rest into the government office, leaving some to guard.
After that, he continued leading the troops towards the East City.
But as for West City and South City, Lu Yuan wasn’t concerned.
Although Lan Cai’er and Yang Jing had sent people saying that they had been seriously injured in the fight with Gui Lianyun and had to retreat.
However, even a severely injured Inborn Grandmaster can’t be defeated by those in the Innate World.
With the two of them leading, it wouldn’t be difficult to take South City and West City, which no longer had Gui Lianyun’s protection.
On the contrary, Zhou Qing only had first-rate skills, and didn’t have an absolute advantage over the Zhou soldiers in East City.
Taking East City might encounter some twists and turns.
Lu Yuan didn’t want to see the situation where they killed Gui Lianyun and even broke into the city, only to be defeated by the remnants of the Zhou soldiers. That would be a joke.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to lead his troops to East City and help his disciple capture it to play it safe.
By the time they arrived at East City, Lu Yuan realized he might have been overly cautious.
These Zhou people weren’t as resilient as he had imagined, and his disciple performed exceptionally well.
Gui Lianyun, as the Grand General of the Right Pillar State of the Zhou, as well as the Commander of Ningfu City, had a much higher prestige among the Zhou army than Lu Yuan had imagined.
Thus, when the East-City Zhou soldiers received the news of Gui Lianyun’s death from the fugitive soldiers of the North City, the morale of the originally steadfast East-City soldiers collapsed immediately, and many fled and scattered.
Zhou Qing, leading the large army, was attacking East City’s camp fiercely. Noticing the unusual movements of the Zhou people, he seized the opportunity and led his elite team to attack in the direction of the fleeing Zhou soldiers.
By the time Lu Yuan arrived at East City with his troops, his own big disciple had already led his men to break through East City’s camp and was heading towards the city gate.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan naturally had nothing more to say.
Reassured, he also led his troops to meet the soldiers of his own disciple, quickly defeating the last group of Zhou soldiers in the East City area who were still resisting.
Then it was time to take over the city’s defense and capture the captives.
At this point, messages were sent from the West and South Cities.
Lan Cai’er and Yang Jing had already broken through the two city gates with their troops and were driving the Zhou soldiers of their respective areas. They would soon be able to clear the two areas and come to join forces.
Lu Yuan was naturally overjoyed at the news.
Seeing that East City was now cleaned up, he left Zhou Qing in charge of mopping up the remaining resistance, leading his own troops to South City this time.
Earlier, his wife had sent someone to spread the rumor that she had been seriously injured.
As a husband, Lu Yuan naturally had some concerns in his heart.
Now that the situation was settled and the city was broken, he naturally had to rush over to check and comfort his wife.
He wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity to gain favor.Time trickled on.
By dusk, the shouting in the city gradually quieted.
The remaining Zhou soldiers in the city were finally cleaned up, with these fleeing soldiers either killed or captured.
By this time, the commanders Lu Yuan had assigned to attack the four city gates were finally gathered in the government office in the city.
“Greetings to the King.”
When Yang Jing arrived, Lu Yuan was busy fussing over his queen.
Just earlier, when he led the troops to South City and saw Lan Cai’er, he realized that her claim of being seriously injured wasn’t false.
She had truly fought to the death with Gui Lianyun and even went all out with her true fire, ending up severely injured.
Although this injury wasn’t life-threatening, it would still take two or three months to recover.
Seeing his wife on one hand and his only Inborn combatant on the other, Lu Yuan naturally felt great concern upon seeing Lan Cai’er’s injuries.
After a good deal of reproach, comfort, and caution against recklessness, he took out copious amounts of healing medications he had with him, assisted her to the government office for rest, and good care.
Lan Cai’er also enjoyed this, finding her husband’s concern comforting. Any woman would consider this a pleasant thing.
Yet now, seeing Yang Jing intruding their world of two, the Saintly Queen couldn’t help but knit her brows, but she didn’t say anything and continued to enjoy her husband’s company happily.
“Martial Proclamation Marquis has arrived!”
Seeing Yang Jing hurriedly arriving, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan’s face. He then complimented, “This time, thanks to the efforts of the Martial Proclamation Marquis, we forced Gui Lianyun to use his secret techniques.
