The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

His fingers instantly turned into a shower of powder.

Next are the arms, then the torso.

The fear of watching himself disappear bit by bit without feeling any pain or being able to put up any resistance almost drove Eland to the brink of collapse!

At that moment, he wanted to roar, to howl, to curse the man in front of him with vicious words.

But it was all in vain.

His vocal cords had already turned to ashes, and struggling in this realm was pointless.

In just a few seconds, this great sage of the Elven race vanished completely from the world with a snap of Gu Xu's fingers.

Not even a trace of a soul remained.

The spot where Eland had been standing was now empty.

Gu Xu waved his hand expressionlessly.

The boundless black mist receded rapidly like the receding tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Sunlight once again fell upon the ruins of Luoyun City, and time resumed its flow.

Everything happened so fast that the Sheikh soldiers on the city walls didn't even have time to react to what was happening.

They only saw a flash of black mist and heard a few of the legion commander's blood-pumping boasts.

The old elf who was about to self-destruct simply vanished into thin air.

Gu Xu slowly descended from mid-air, his feet firmly planted on the bricks and stones of the city wall.

He turned his head and looked at Su Qiong, Lin Yuan, and Li Tiezhu, who were still in a defensive posture not far away.

At this moment, the tense expressions on the three people's faces were still frozen.

Clearly, they hadn't expected their own legion commander to arrive so timely.

Of course, in the past, after the crisis was resolved, they would naturally celebrate and boast to their own legion commander.

But seeing the legion commander's serious expression, none of them had the heart to boast or celebrate.

After all, they had been a bit careless just now and hadn't anticipated Eland's desperate self-destruction.

It almost caused the entire legion to suffer heavy losses.

However, just when the three thought their legion commander was about to give some kind of post-battle summary or reprimand them for their poor performance,

Gu Xu's originally cold and serious face instantly changed like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and he put on a playful and smiling face again.

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me."

Gu Xu patted his chest, looking somewhat shaken: "Luckily, I made it in time."

"Otherwise, if that old bastard really explodes, wouldn't all the good stuff in Luoyun City be destroyed along with it? Then our entire profit-making effort would be completely ruined!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Su Qiong, Lin Yuan, and Li Tiezhu froze once again.

Looking at Gu Xu's pained expression, their lips twitched involuntarily.

"Commander, you..."

Li Tiezhu scratched his head, speechless for a moment.

"What? Am I wrong?"

Gu Xu frowned, giving him a look that said, "You don't understand economics!" "War is very expensive! If I don't take advantage of the war to bring back some spoils, how am I going to pay you bonuses?"

The three of them exchanged a glance, and then burst into laughter at the same time.

"Hahaha! Commander, you're the best!"

"Indeed, when it comes to managing a household well, you have to look to the legion commander."

Although Su Qiong didn't speak, she still sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Gu Xu is theoretically without any weaknesses, but in reality, he is just too greedy!

Meanwhile, the Sheikh soldiers below the city wall finally came to their senses.

They didn't know exactly what had happened.

But they knew that it was their own legion commander who intervened at the critical moment, averting the deadly crisis and instantly killing the enemy's top combat force!

In an instant, deafening cheers resounded throughout Luoyun City.

"The legion commander is awesome!"

"Legion Commander, you are mighty!"

"The Legion Commander's might is unparalleled!"

Tens of thousands of Sheikha soldiers raised their weapons and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Their voices merged together, soaring into the sky.

It seemed as if it wanted to overturn the entire sky.

Hearing the thunderous cheers, Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction. He turned around, looked at the surviving elves still trembling in the city, and waved his hand.

"Guys, let's save the flattery for later!"

"Our top priority now is to get into the city and protect what was previously valuable!"

……

As Eland turned to ashes, the last resistance of Falling Cloud City naturally vanished as well.

Those elven soldiers who were still putting up a stubborn resistance, after witnessing their supreme commander being instantly killed, also put down their weapons and chose to stop resisting!

Looking around, some people were slumped in the ruins, some were crouching in the corners with their heads in their hands, and some simply raised their hands and shouted surrender in Elvish.

Thus, the Divine Summer Calamity Legion officially entered Falling Cloud City.

It has to be said that the elves are indeed quite formidable.

Gu Xu walked along the main street of the city, glancing around and clicking his tongue.

The architectural style of the entire city is completely different from that of Sherlock.

Most of the houses along the road are built on top of huge ancient trees, with the trunks hollowed out and transformed into shops and residences, and various exquisitely woven lanterns and wind chimes hanging outside.

The street was paved with translucent green flagstones, which felt slightly warm when stepped on.

It looked like something was slowly flowing down there.

In the flowerbeds by the roadside, the colors of the unnamed flowers were so vibrant they seemed unreal, and a faint fragrance of grass and trees filled the air.

"This place is quite interesting."

Gu Xu put his hands behind his back, looking around like a tourist who had just arrived at a scenic spot: "The Elven architecture is quite impressive. It's really nice to experience this exotic style once in a while!"

Jiang Shu followed behind him, her tablet constantly recording everything she saw along the way: "Commander, according to intelligence, this city has a history of over four thousand years."

"These ancient trees themselves are the load-bearing structure of the building. The Elven craftsmen carved and sculpted the living trees, integrating the buildings and plants into one, which created this living environment!"

"More than four thousand years?"

Hearing this, Gu Xu raised an eyebrow: "Then wouldn't this wood be even more valuable? We'll have the logistics department mark the best pieces, and maybe develop some dimensional tourism or something, turning it into guesthouses to make money!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu's lips twitched, instantly extinguishing her desire to educate her legion commander. However, she still obediently wrote down this "important instruction" on the tablet.

The team advanced along the main road toward the city center.

They quickly passed through the outer city area and entered the inner city.

The further you go in, the more exquisite the architecture becomes.

In the square we passed, there were also sculptures and fountains of the Elven race. The stone carvings were lifelike, and the spring water shimmered with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
