"Thud! Thud!"
"Zhao Yun" and "Zhang Fei" both swallowed hard at the same time, their bright eyes fixed intently on "Ye Yang," cupping their fists and quietly saying, "Thank you, Young Master, for the name!"
"Ye Yang" grinned, but "Yun Xiaoxi" felt puzzled and furrowed her brows, saying, "Why do you look so strange?"
"Nothing... nothing at all..."
"Ye Yang" shook his head repeatedly, turning to look at a group of "Dragon Armored Warriors," and smiled slightly, saying, "Everyone listen up. From now on, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei will be your leaders, directly reporting to me. You will first camp in the Central Army barracks, and the details will be handled by Wang Lie!"
"Yes, Young Master!" The group of "Dragon Armored Warriors" knelt down in unison.
"Ye Yang" felt a bit puzzled and said, "From now on, don't call me Young Master; just call me Sir."
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Dismissed!"
"As you command, Young Master!"
"Ye Yang": ...
...
In fact, any one of the "Dragon Armored Warriors" was a hundred times stronger than "Wang Lie." However, since "Wang Lie" was born and raised in this area and had a good understanding of the defense strategy for the County City, "Ye Yang" had no choice but to appoint "Wang Lie" as the commander of the newly formed army in Liang City. It was unavoidable.
The Dragon Armored Warriors grew up in the Dragon Abyss Hidden Dragon Hall, having almost no understanding of the outside world, but possessing remarkable strength. However, with an impending war, mere bravery would not secure victory; it would be difficult to even maintain their territory.
Zhang Tianhe was injured and had to return to the Ye Family Mansion to recuperate, while Ye Yang was also resting and healing after applying medicine.
A night of silence passed.
The next morning, at the Training Ground of Liangcheng County's garrison.
Ye Yang wore a red cloak, his robust body encased in black leather chainmail. The True Fire Sword hung at his waist, his hand resting on the hilt. His short black hair was tousled by the wind, exuding a heroic aura as he gazed at the three thousand soldiers in the Training Ground, filled with pride.
Beside him, Advisor Linghu Bao held a ledger and said softly, "My lord, the Liang City barracks can originally accommodate only 1,500 troops. Now that the City Guard Office, County City garrison, and Dragon Armored Warriors have all stationed here, the barracks can no longer hold them. We must expand; otherwise, there will surely be deserters."
"Mm."
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Clear the wasteland to the east of the general's camp and immediately begin constructing a new barracks."
"Yes, my lord!" Linghu Bao continued, "The Dragon Armored Warriors have an astonishing appetite; one person consumes as much as three. Last night alone, they devoured our entire day's supplies. At this rate, we will be bankrupt in less than half a month. Moreover, with the southern region suffering from famine over the past two years, it has become increasingly difficult to procure provisions."
Ye Yang frowned. "Where can we gather supplies?"
Linghu Bao smiled mysteriously. "That depends on whether you have the courage to take them!"
"Oh? Tell me more!"
Linghu Bao nodded and pointed to the east, saying, "Less than fifty Li to the east of Liang City, there is a place called Linping Mountain. Two groups of bandits reside on Linping Mountain, gathering thousands of people who plunder the surrounding areas. The common folk in Peng City, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, and Eastern Sea County have suffered greatly from their raids. This group of bandits has looted countless treasures, horses, and grain, hoarding them on Linping Mountain. If we send troops to take it back, Liang City will benefit greatly!"
Ye Yang smiled slightly and turned his gaze towards Wang Lie.
Wang Lie held a knife in one hand and nodded, saying, "Yes, my lord. I have also heard about those two groups of strongmen. It is said that their leader possesses Earth Level Nine strength and rules the mountain with ease. The local officials flee at the mere mention of them and do not dare to confront them. It is rumored that Xiang Yu captured Kuaiji County and is advancing to garrison Peng City with the intention of attacking Linping Mountain. If we want those supplies and horses, we must act first!"
"Mm!"
Ye Yang nodded and commanded, "Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, listen up! Rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning at dawn, prepare food. As soon as it gets light, one thousand Dragon Armored Warriors will accompany me to Linping Mountain. Linghu Bao will stay behind in Liang City, while Wang Lie will lead one thousand County City guards to escort the supply convoy. All carts must be empty when we head to Linping Mountain tomorrow; we must return victorious!"
"Yes, my lord!" Everyone knelt in unison.
...
Ye Family Mansion.
In the inner courtyard, a lake reflected the autumn sky without a breeze; on its surface stood a stunning young girl with her eyes closed, creating ripples beneath her feet.
In the air, elemental fluctuations occurred, and in the next moment, Ye Yang appeared within the mansion clad in armor. This was a standard outfit for generals of the Great Qin Empire that accentuated Ye Yang's extraordinary appearance and heroic demeanor.
Yun Xiaoxi remained with her eyes closed and smiled, saying, "I heard you are going to raid Linping Mountain tomorrow?"
"Mm, you know about it?"
"Why not set off immediately?"
"I want to break through the Earth Realm tonight..."
"What?"
Yun Xiaoxi opened her eyes, her beautiful large eyes staring at Ye Yang. "Breaking through the Earth Realm, is that something you can control yourself?"
Ye Yang nodded with a smile. "That's right, I can feel it. The True Qi is surging, and its quality is gradually changing. I can sense that my body has become strong enough to bear the Starlight Power!"
"Mm."
"Are you coming with me tomorrow?"
"No, I need to investigate the whereabouts of the Twelve Divine Relics, which are located in the Liang City Fire God Clan cemetery. So, give me a Clan Token; that way, I can move freely without being restricted by the gravekeepers."
"Mm." Ye Yang nodded but frowned and said, "The Fire God Clan's access token is managed by Peng Feng, and right now all the tokens are in Peng Yue'er's hands. I'm afraid she won't give it to me..."
"That's your problem..."
"..."
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Yang did not remove his Armor and flew out of the estate with his sword, his handsome figure disappearing like lightning amidst the bustling streets of the city.
Fire God Clan, Pang Family Estate.
When Ye Yang arrived, a group of Peng Clan Members dared not express their anger. Each of them knew that Ye Yang was now the Governor of Liang City, and his strength had reached the peak of Earth Level Nine. They understood that touching a tiger's butt was absolutely forbidden.
"Please inform Miss Peng Yue'er that Ye Yang requests an audience."
Ye Yang was not arrogant; he spoke politely to the Old Butler. The Old Butler's gaze was cold as he snorted and turned to enter the manor. Shortly after, he returned with a strong sense of hostility in his eyes and said, "The young lady requests Young Master Ziyu to meet her in the main hall!"
Ye Yang did not hold back and walked straight into Leaf Manor. Upon entering the hall, he discovered over ten corpses lying outside the Peng Family hall, covered with white cloths, and the smell of blood filled the entire space.
Peng Yue'er stood there in a red outfit, holding a sword, and glanced at Ye Yang without saying a word.
...
"What happened? Who killed these clan members?" Ye Yang's expression changed; now that the Fire God Clan was under his protection, anyone who dared to harm them would be opposing all of Liang City.
Peng Yue'er’s eyes were red as she replied, "Last night, two people broke into the Tomb and killed them..."
