Elf Sandstorm Lord

Chapter 405

Anding City,

The warm sunshine of early summer shines on the mottled city walls, coating the old scars and new wounds on the surface of this old city with a layer of bright light that makes one look at it in a daze!

On the city wall, a middle-aged general walked past a group of soldiers on duty, looking at the blood stains on the stone bricks that had not faded away. There was also a faint concern in his resolute eyes that he tried hard to hide!

He walked up to a young man standing with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and said:

"Zhang Chengshou, I have already explained this to my old subordinates. I believe they will never be swayed by the rumors these days!"

Hearing this, the young man who was called the city guard turned around and saw that it was Su Yan's childhood friend Zhang Yuan. He smiled slightly and said:

"Commander Zhong Rui has worked really hard these past two days. He has already made great contributions to the Viscount and should be rewarded, but yet he has to bother you so much!"

The middle-aged man known as Commander Zhong Rui showed a panicked posture and said:

"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Zhong is a surrendered general. He deserves to be punished and has made meritorious service. How dare he fail to do his best, let alone mention the title of commander again!"

"What are you talking about!" Zhang Yuan continued: "Huo Yong went crazy before and wanted to burn down the only big city in Wudu County!

Thanks to Commander Zhong Gaoyi's benevolence, he recognized this person early and turned from darkness to light, thus saving the lives of nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians in this city, and allowing our Lord Viscount to take over smoothly! "

"Alas~" Unexpectedly, Zhong Rui sighed when he heard this and said, "My Zhong family has served Lord Huo Yong for generations, but I didn't expect that I would become a traitor to my lord for once!

It's shameful to say that if Lord Huo Yong hadn't acted too crazy in the end, he would have wanted to sacrifice the lives of the entire Andong City to him.

Maybe, I will wander with him, or be loyal to him with my life! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was not unhappy at all. Instead, he showed praise, nodded, and said:

"I have also seen Commander Zhong's ability and character these days. It is indeed our Lord Viscount's good luck to get a talent like you!"

As for Zhong Rui himself, the reason why he works so hard is because he has great affection for Anding City where he grew up.

And after Su Yan disappeared just after he captured the city, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan's Abandoned Monkey being promoted to the "elite" in the reversal space, and not far away after coming out, he would have returned immediately!

In addition, with Zhong Rui helping to stabilize the situation, maybe Su Yan's newly acquired territory will really cause chaos again!

Not only does it have an "elite-level" voracious turtle passed down from the family, but there are also four other "class-level" elves, which are even stronger than the current Zhang Yuan!

If the latter's Abandoned Monkey hadn't just been promoted to the "Elite", his strength would probably be even lower than him!

What Zhang Yuan said was not against his will. This commander named Zhong Rui was the only "elite" trainer in Anding City other than Viscount Huo Yong!

I rebelled against Viscount Huo Yong before because I couldn't bear the loss of life in this city. Now I see that Su Yan's army has good discipline and is very kind to the residents of the city, so I feel that my choice is right!

And their Zhong family is also a big family that has been under the lordship of Viscount Huo Yong for many generations. If the latter hadn't gone crazy at the last moment, they would not have easily defected to Su Yan!

But now, if the news of the new lord's sudden disappearance spreads on a large scale, the surrounding forces are complicated, and everyone will not look at the fat left by Su Yan.

Especially this is the only big city in Wudu County and one of the few in Liangzhou Province!

For this reason, he has tried his best to cooperate with Zhang Yuan in the past two days to stabilize the situation in the city!

After all, if something happens to Su Yan, the city will probably fall into chaos again, and there will be another war. This is what he doesn't want to see!

In addition, on the one hand, they blocked the news of Su Yan's absence, and on the other hand, they created some false impressions, but they probably couldn't hide it for long!

"Don't worry, since the black fog has disappeared, the scourge has naturally been solved by Lord Viscount.

Thinking about it, the spatial layout was distorted and the Viscount was teleported to some distant place. I believe he will come back soon and the chaos will be solved by then! Zhang Yuan said firmly, but he was still extremely worried.

He knew the current situation clearly. Su Yan's sphere of influence was originally only part of the Qinchuan and Longxi counties in the northwest province.

Now he has taken over almost the entire Wudu County, doubling the population and land under his rule!

After some calculations, the population under Su Yan's rule now should be almost 100,000. This has already reached the minimum threshold requirement of the great noble class!

This also means that Su Yan has long exceeded the tolerance limit of the great nobles in the area!

If it weren't for the confrontation between the Marquis of Guanzhong and the Earl of Longxi County, and the conflict between the two sides was too deep to reconcile, I'm afraid they would have joined forces to attack Su Yan now!

In addition, the surrounding nobles from the expeditionary force who had previously joined forces with Su Yan, as well as the local nobles from Liangzhou who later joined the team, were all digesting their new territories while eyeing them with eagerness.

If Su Yan doesn't show up again, I'm afraid the situation will really get out of control!

While he was thinking about it, a big bird attracted the attention of the defenders in the city.

After he proved that he was not evil, he was allowed to land on the city wall!

After landing, a young man jumped off the back of Big Bird, looked around and said:

"I am the attendant of the Seventh Prince. I am here to see Viscount Su Yan in the name of His Highness. Please tell me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan and Zhong Rui quickly looked at each other. They didn't know when the prince who suddenly landed on the front line came to see Su Yan, but they didn't dare to neglect and said instead:

"To be honest, my Viscount doesn't know what's going on in the city. I don't know what His Seventh Highness is doing. Can we pass the news on your behalf?"

"Oh? Viscount Su Yan just captured the important city of Liangzhou, but he is not in charge of the city. Could it be that the rumors of the unexplained disappearance are true!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan and the others didn't know what the seventh prince's attitude was towards Su Yan, and whether he was here to test him, so they didn't dare to answer easily.

Just as he was about to find a reason to explain, he saw a black shadow quickly descending from the sky. It turned out to be a steel-armored crow!

"It's the Viscount who's back!" Zhang Yuan was overjoyed after seeing it clearly. He finally let go of his fear during this period!
