In the next few days, decrees were issued from the East King's Mansion.
First, Ye Kuang's officials were beheaded in public. After their crimes and past dark deeds were exposed, they immediately received countless infamy.
As a result, Prince Dong's Mansion gained the favor of the people in the city. Some of the people who were bullied were even grateful and swore to support Prince Dong's Mansion.
At the same time, some of the previously unremarkable officials were promoted and placed in important positions, filling the important vacancies of the county governor. Bai Yuntian was even directly appointed by Xia Wuyou as the county governor.
Once this piece of news spread, the entire county city was in an uproar.
"I heard that the new county governor has just joined the East King's Mansion. Because of his talent, he was directly appointed as the county governor and rose to the top in a single step!”
"That's right, other low-level officials would take a long time to climb to the position of county governor, but this Bai Yuntian has reached the top in a single step. From this, we can see that the East King's Mansion is lacking talents and values talents. This is a huge opportunity!”
"The chance is great, but it's also dangerous. Once the East King's Mansion can't fight against the East Marshal, everyone in the East King's Mansion will die!”
Because of the recruitment order, those who sought refuge with the East King Mansion would be given important positions as long as they were talented. This made many people in the county city who thought they had some ability restless. Unfortunately, many people were afraid of Ye Kuang's terrifying power and strength and retreated.
At the Eastern Garrison Grand Marshal's residence in the South City.
In the hall, a soldier knelt down on one knee and reported the news he had received from the prefecture capital to Ye Kuang, who was sitting on his throne.
"Grand Marshal, General Ye Donglang's head has been chopped off and hung on the south gate!”The soldier lowered his head and reported nervously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura pressed down on him. He felt as if his body was being pressed down by a huge mountain. At this moment, he felt that his body was about to explode.
"You may leave!" Just as the soldier felt like he was about to die, the terrifying pressure disappeared instantly. Ye Kuang's extremely calm voice sounded in his ears, but the soldier could not help but feel an extreme chill in his heart.
"Yes, Grand Marshal!" The instinct to escape made the soldier say respectfully and quickly retreat.
"East King Manor, very well. I want your entire manor to be buried with East Wolf!”Ye Kuang's calm voice, filled with killing intent, rang out from the hall.
"Pass down the order. Commanders-in-chief of Jundong City, Junnan City, Junxi City, and Junbei City will each send out 10,000 soldiers to become bandits and lock down the entire city from four directions. No matter who comes out, kill them. I want to see how long the East King's Mansion can last!”Ye Kuang gave a vicious order and immediately headed towards the border city.
Apart from that, there was also the Eagle Claw Martial King and another Martial King leading other Heaven Tier elites into action.
There was a huge canyon in the west of the prefecture's western city. There was a huge military fortress city in the canyon. On the city, there were teams of soldiers in white armor patrolling.
This was an important checkpoint between East County and the inner counties of Great Xia. It was called the Red East Fortress. Back then, the Red East Fortress was built to defend against the Great Massacre Dynasty that controlled East County. Now, it was built to defend against the East Marshal of East County, Ye Kuang.
The army stationed within the fortress was the famous White Armor Army of the Great Xia Empire. The commander of the army was Xiao Ao, who was in his thirties. He was a young and promising general.
The Western County City was not far from the Red East Stronghold. The one guarding the Western County City was one of the four generals under Ye Kuang, Ye West Wind. He led an elite army of 100,000 soldiers and 50,000 ordinary soldiers.
The two sides faced each other from afar. In fact, the commanders of both sides wanted to take down the city on the other side.
In the Chidong Stronghold's City Lord's Mansion, the White Armor Army's Commander, Xiao Ao, sat high above the main seat. On his left and below him was his deputy, Wang Jinghai.
At this moment, Xiao Ao was holding a piece of paper in his hand. He looked at the contents of the paper and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Jinghai, the East King's Mansion has already taken control of the county city. The East King's Consort has sent another message saying that she wants to join forces with us to fight against Ye Kuang!”Xiao Ao handed the letter to Wang Jinghai.
"Marshal Xiao, since the East King Mansion controls the city, they have the capital to cooperate with us. With the city they control, Ye Kuang won't be able to take it without 100,000 elite soldiers!”Wang Jinghai smiled after reading it.
"Ye Kuang hasn't fallen out with the court yet, so he won't send troops to attack us. Otherwise, I would have a reason to send troops!”Xiao Ao nodded.
"Although Ye Kuang won't send troops openly, the City of Darkness won't let the East Prince's Mansion off. The East Princess Consort mentioned in the letter that Ye Kuang is most likely to make the soldiers take off their armor and attack in secret!”Wang Jinghai pondered for a moment and said.
" In this case, Ye Kuang will not send troops openly, so we cannot send troops openly. We can only do what Ye Kuang did and have a portion of the White Armored Army take off their armor and join forces with the East King Mansion. However, Ye West Wind from the Western City is still ahead of us. It will not be easy to bypass him!”
"Hmph, so what if he knows? If he dares to send troops, we'll fight him outside the city. Let's see if he has the guts!”Xiao Ao coldly snorted.
"I wonder who Marshal Xiao will send this time?”Seeing Xiao Ao's determination, Wang Jinghai did not say anything more.
"Jinghai, this matter is of great importance and concerns my future. Therefore, you will personally head over to preside over this mission!”Xiao Ao thought for a while and said to Wang Jinghai.
"Yes, Marshal Xiao, this subordinate will not disappoint Marshal Xiao!”Wang Jinghai naturally knew the key to this and immediately accepted the mission.
After that, Xiao Ao personally wrote a letter to King Dong's Mansion, stating that both sides were officially working together to fight against Ye Kuang.
In the East Prince's Mansion, Chu Mingyue went to Xia Wuyou after receiving Xiao Ao's letter.
"As expected, since Xiao Ao is willing to join forces, then the west side of the city will at least be safe. The north side will be handled by Wang Gu, the commander of the city guards. It shouldn't be a big problem. Now, the only thing left is the east and south sides of the city!”Xia Wuyou said seriously.
"The east is fine, but the south is Junnan City. That is Ye Kuang's base camp, so we have to deal with it ourselves!”Chu Mingyue said.
"That's true. As long as it's not Ye Kuang's army attacking the city, our 50,000 city guards will be of great use. Moreover, no matter how many of them are secretly moving, there won't be too many of them.”Xia Wuyou nodded as a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.
