Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Seeing that he had no further instructions, Han Yufeng turned and left with Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao.

The veterans followed behind, their footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

Wu Feng walked out of the house, and with a light step, his figure rose from the ground and landed on the roof of a nearby tall building.

He stood on the rooftop with his hands behind his back, looking towards the city.

Mu Lingyun was leading his men in working in the city center area.

Hundreds of veterans were scattered along the streets, knocking on doors from house to house, calling people out of their homes and urging them toward the city gate.

At first, the people were unwilling. Some hid in their houses and refused to come out, some ran out through the back door, and some confronted the veterans with carrying poles and brooms.

Mu Lingyun didn't waste any words and directly ordered his men to kick the door open and drag the person out.

After a few disturbances, the remaining villagers calmed down and obediently packed their belongings and followed.

Han Yufeng led her people to the area in the north of the city. That area was mostly inhabited by the families of wealthy merchants and gentry, making them somewhat more difficult to deal with than the residents in the city center.

Several wealthy merchants tried to escape through the back door with their valuables, but Sun Yujiao and her men blocked their way and brought them all back.

Zhao Yu'e led her people to the area in the south of the city, where ordinary people lived. They didn't put up much resistance, but they were slow and dragged their feet, barely moving a few steps in a long time.

Wu Feng stood on the rooftop, looking down, and frowned slightly.

There were too few people. A little over a thousand veterans were assigned to the four city gates, and then further out were sent out to guard surrendered soldiers, move things, and clear out the gentry. There simply weren't enough people to drive away the civilians.

Fortunately, Mu Lingyun was efficient and led his men to clear the streets one by one. Although the process was slow, it was orderly and methodical.

The sun moves from the east to its zenith, and then from its zenith to the west.

Wu Feng remained on the rooftop, occasionally shifting his position and looking in a different direction.

The crowds in the city slowly converged at the city gate, looking down from above like gray streams flowing in the same direction from all directions.

Mu Lingyun ran back and forth until her voice was hoarse, then took a sip of water and continued shouting.

Han Yufeng led Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao back and forth across several streets, rushing to wherever a problem arose.

They were busy until the sun was almost setting, when the open space at the city gate finally filled with people.

It was a dark mass, with men and women, young and old, numbering at least tens of thousands.

Some carried bundles, some pushed carts, some led livestock, and some held children, all huddled together in a chaotic huddle.

The sounds of children crying, adults scolding, and livestock bellowing mingled together, creating a headache.

Wu Feng jumped off the roof and landed on the open ground at the city gate.

Mu Lingyun squeezed through the crowd, his clothes soaked through and his face covered in sweat. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Your Excellency, everyone has gathered. Of the twelve thousand people in Yong'an County, apart from the few hundred who ran away, the rest are all here."

Han Yufeng also squeezed through the crowd, her face also sweaty, but she looked better than Mu Lingyun. She clasped her hands in greeting and said, "Your Excellency, everything that can be moved from the city has been moved—grain, silver, cloth—all loaded onto carts."

Wu Feng nodded and glanced at the dark mass of people in front of him.

Without wasting words, he subtly opened the game interface and found the option to destroy the town.

A prompt appears on the screen: "Destroy Yong'an County? Destroying it will remove the town from the map, and you will obtain Yong'an County's legacy."

Wu Feng clicked "OK".

The ground in front of them began to tremble. A golden pillar of light rose from the center of the city, shooting straight into the sky.

The beam of light dispersed, turning into countless points of light that floated across the entire county.

The city wall began to collapse. The dusty wall split open from the middle, and bricks and stones fell down, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

The city gate tower was tilted, and the sound of breaking wooden beams could be heard, followed by the crenellations of the city wall collapsing row by row.

The buildings in the city collapsed as well. The roof of the county government building collapsed first, the sound of the wooden beams breaking was crisp, then the walls, one after another, fell down. Rows of houses collapsed, and shops, warehouses, and restaurants were all reduced to ruins.

The whole process lasted for more than ten breaths.

After the dust settled, all that remained was ruins. The city walls were gone, the houses were gone, the streets were gone, only rubble and tiles were scattered among the weeds, as if no one had ever lived there.

A golden system notification popped up in the center of the field of vision—

[Congratulations on destroying Yong'an County. You have obtained: Yong'an County's Legacy.]

Wu Feng opened his backpack, his gaze falling on a new item, and immediately selected to open it.

A light screen unfolded in front of me, and rows of reward entries popped up:

500,000 units of timber, 300,000 units of stone, 100,000 units of iron ingots, 1,000,000 units of grain, 10,000 bolts of cloth, 10 chests of herbs, 10 chests of fine wine, 300,000 taels of silver, and 1 small town construction token.

Wu Feng looked at the rewards and nodded. Although Yong'an County was not large, the heritage of the county seat was indeed on a completely different level from that of the mountain stronghold.

He closed his backpack and turned to look at the crowd in front of him.

As the people watched their houses turn into ruins, some cried, while others stood there in a daze.

Mu Lingyun and the veterans were maintaining order and stopping those who wanted to run away.

Wu Feng ignored all that, waved his hand, and shouted, "Let's go, to Yingzhou City."

After saying that, he mounted his horse, turned it around, and took the lead on the official road.

Mu Lingyun responded and called to the veterans to escort the civilians to follow.

More than 12,000 civilians, more than 1,000 veterans, more than 400 surrendered soldiers, and hundreds of carts loaded with supplies stretched the column to an extremely long length, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Han Yufeng led Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao in the middle of the group, bringing up the rear and calling out from time to time to let the people behind catch up.

After leaving Yong'an County, we got onto the official road and headed towards Yingzhou City.

The journey, which normally takes just over an hour on horseback, became incredibly slow with over ten thousand people on board.

The elderly person is unable to walk and needs to rest after walking for a while.

The cart's wheels got stuck in the mud, and they couldn't get it out no matter how hard they tried.

Someone sneaked away, and the veteran chased after them and brought them back.

When someone caused trouble and refused to leave, Mu Lingyun went up and slapped them twice, and they behaved.

The sun had set, it was dark, but the team was still on the road.

Mu Lingyun lit torches, and more than a hundred veterans walked on both sides of the procession, illuminating the official road.

They walked all night without anyone sleeping. The people were so tired that they were staggering. Some fell asleep while walking and were woken up by the people behind them.

Wu Feng rode his horse at the front, occasionally stopping to wait for the people behind to catch up, and then continuing on his way.

The next morning, as the sun rose in the east, the outline of Yingzhou City finally appeared on the horizon.

After traveling for most of the day, the group finally arrived at the gate of Yingzhou City on the afternoon of the second day.

The soldiers guarding the city wall spotted the large, imposing procession from afar and immediately went to report it.

Xiong Batian and his men stood on the city wall looking out. They saw Wu Feng riding at the front, followed by a large, dark mass of people. Xiong Batian quickly shouted down, "Open the gate! The governor has returned!"

The city gate slowly opened, and two heavy wooden doors swung open to both sides.

Wu Feng rode his horse inside, followed by a stream of people.

The people entered the city, stood on both sides of the street, looked around, their faces filled with confusion and exhaustion.

Mu Lingyun rode over on horseback, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Your Excellency, what should be done with these people?"

"Arrange accommodations for them," Wu Feng said. "Find empty houses for them to live in. Register them in the household register, and select the able-bodied ones to send to the military camp."

Mu Lingyun responded and turned to call the veterans to lead the people toward the residential area.

Han Yufeng, along with Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao, also went to help. With more than 12,000 people and the supplies brought back from Yong'an County, they would be busy for a while.

Wu Feng rode his horse through several streets, heading towards the governor's mansion.
