It doesn't matter what the lord is.

When I just got there, I found that almost everyone who should be there was already there.

Needless to say, Luger and the army of Yuxi City have already started to organize defense on the front line. Bai Huang was lying near the city wall, looking around. It seemed that he had never seen such a scene before. He was not afraid but rather curious. When he saw me coming, he immediately ran over to ask questions. He heard that Zhaochen's army was stationed outside our Yuxi City, and I was helpless, so he teased me.

He Yue was nowhere to be seen. According to Luger, He Yue arrived in a hurry when the siege began, but left after giving a few instructions. The thermal power generation has been put into use, the demon breeding farm is being expanded, and new projects are still being developed and prepared. The city cannot do without him for a moment.

I didn't expect Fang Shisan to be determined to attack for a while and directly destroyed a section of the wall. The defense of cement and bricks is actually quite good, but Fang Shisan was able to blow up a section of the wall at lightning speed while the city defense was empty. If we reacted a little slower, we would probably have to fight street battles now.

Assuming the battlefield reaches the city, I will have to take action to solve the problem.

Because the reason why Yuxi City can be defended now is largely due to Fileta's magic. Once the battlefield reaches the city, Fileta's extremely destructive AoE will completely become a weapon of destruction that does not distinguish between friend and foe, and the entire city will probably be demolished by her in half.

As soon as Fileta arrived, she participated in the defense of the city.

After all, she is my SSR+, and her talent is half a level higher than Alaya. Although Alaya is definitely capable of killing Felita in a one-on-one fight, Felita is indeed stronger in terms of versatility. With Yuxi Castle defending the city, she can pour endless magic directly on the opponent.

Just like the last time Fang Shisan commanded the army to shoot a rain of arrows, Alaya needed to consume a lot of physical strength to use sword energy to deflect the incoming arrows. But Fileta was able to directly suppress them with magic of various attributes, and the consumption was much less than that of Alaya. However, when Fileta's magic hit the army formation, it would also be consumed by the transparent barrier formed by the formation, and could not cause effective damage to the army.

The two sides fought in a stalemate.

From the perspective of the situation, Fang Shisan's army still has a considerable advantage.

But when Fileta's magic power was consumed to about one third, the army's offensive weakened a little.

When there were not many arrows flying overhead, I stood up, brushed off the dust that had covered me when I lay on the ground, and said to the guys next to me who were looking at me like I was an idiot:

"Let's go up and take a look."

22. Tigress and Paper Tiger

Now walking towards the opposite side is the Yuxi City team.

As you can see, the man walking in the front is Lide, the lord of Yuxi City. He is high-spirited, full of fighting spirit, tall and handsome, with steady steps, and he... I can't make it up any more.

As soon as I climbed up the wall, I was shocked. Except for the wall around Fileta, which was relatively flat, the entire wall was blasted with holes. It was not easy to find a foothold. I walked to Fileta on the shaky stone slabs. She naturally leaned against me with a look of exhaustion. I dodged to the side and she fell into the arms of Alayya behind me, and then jumped up and stood up.

Our team was much larger than last time. Not only did Filita, who was resting in bed, rejoin the team, but also Bai Huang and He Ji. In addition, Bai Huang's guards were also following carefully nearby, and behind her stood two guys who were completely covered in black cloaks.

These two were naturally the succubus combination, the "charm" and the "demon". Because they had obvious demonic characteristics, I was worried that they would be discovered if I let them come directly to the city, so I dressed them up a little and made them look like the guards of Bai Huang.

Naturally, under the city were the troops led by Fang Shisan.

This time Fang Shisan was not very close to the front, but in the middle of the army. I couldn't understand the army's formation, it was basically a triangle, surrounded by mobile cavalry, it looked a bit like the millennium wheel used by the Pharaoh. Fang Shisan put on two more clothes, I don't know if it was my illusion, she wore more than the soldiers around her.

Fang Shisan, who changed her clothes, still had a kind of girlish beauty. Although it looked a little unreal from a distance, it was like a pearl placed on the sand. She still closed her eyes, frowned with a hint of worry, raised her little face, and seemed to be looking at Yuxi City, but no sight could be felt from her. To be honest, in this light mist, she seemed like a fairy sitting on the cloud platform, a beauty that was not like the human world.

Whether the Venus de Milo is beautiful because of her broken arms or she was more beautiful before her broken arms has always been a controversial issue.

The same is true for Fang Shisan.

It is hard to say whether her "imperfection" is a plus or a minus that drags her down from the fairyland to the mortal world.

This kind of thing can be left to those guys who have nothing better to do than to make a list of the most beautiful courtesans to analyze. Right now, Fang Shisan is the culprit who has destroyed my comfortable life, so I have to find a way to deal with him first.

After I stood on the top of the city wall, the army's offensive also weakened. Perhaps Fang Shisan gave some orders. The young man named Fang Lita stood beside his sister as usual, staring at me and whispering in my ear. After a while, the army's formation changed again, from an obvious attack formation to a defensive formation. Fang Shisan was also pushed forward by Fang Lita.

I'll take the lead in greeting Fang Shisan:

"Hey, little girl, the weather is getting colder, aren't you planning on leaving?"

Fang Shisan did not answer.

I sat cross-legged on the ground and said unhappily:

"There are many better places in the world, why do you have to cling to my home? Why do you like Yuxi City so much? You want to fight even though you know you can't take it? Why don't you do something else with this time, such as having children as soon as possible, so that there won't be no one to take over the ten cities in the future."

Fang Shisan suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the armrest of the wheelchair, but her strength was obviously not great, and she did not have the amazing ability to break wood in anger.

Fang Lita's cheeks turned red with anger, and he said:

"Make a baby. Sooner or later I will destroy your broken city and let your wife make a baby with me!"

I smiled, patted the floor and said:

"Come on, come up. Forget about my wife, I can do it with you. It depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

Fang Lita stomped his feet heavily and shouted loudly:

"Lid! How long do you really think you can hold on to this city? You are..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Huang next to me pouted at He Ji, who nodded and fiercely kicked a stone under his feet. The stone whizzed past like a bullet and smashed into the transparent barrier, but the air was obviously stagnant for a moment. After all, he had achieved the sixth level of perfection in the sword art, so his physical fitness was indeed a level higher.

A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Shisan's face, but it only lasted for a moment.

She asked Fang Lita something in a low voice, and then Fang Lita explained to her:

"Yes! I didn't notice... Right. There are more people. The golden-haired female guard and the white-haired magician are all there. There's also a black-haired woman who I don't know what she does. She's so arrogant and has two minions following her. She was the one who gave the order to a pretty boy to do it just now."

Fang Shisan frowned, probably trying to guess Bai Huang's identity.

Bai Huang was straightforward, and said casually,

"My name is Bai Huang, I'm from the Yunhai family, and I'm here to play with Li De. I didn't expect to be woken up so early in the morning. It's not New Year's Day, why are you making such a big noise? Can't I sleep? He Ji, beat her up!"

When I looked at the overbearing and unreasonable Bai Huang, I was filled with shadows of myself back then... and now.

White Phoenix in the sea of ​​clouds.

There may not be many people who have seen it, but there are definitely many people who have heard of it.

Anyone who cares about the world situation will definitely know this name. Even an amateur like me has heard of it.

As expected, after Bai Huang introduced himself, Fang Shisan's body trembled violently.

Instead, Fang Lita sneered and shouted to Bai Huang:

"What about Bai Huang? You look like a wild chicken. Don't you even take a look at yourself? Bah, who do you think you are? Let me tell you, I have never heard of such a person as you——"

Heggie took a slow half step forward.

Now it’s okay, I don’t have to do anything.

I sat aside with great interest, watching the fight between two tigers to see who was stronger, the tigress Bai Huang or the paper tiger Fang Li Tower on the opposite side.

------------------

Recently, the upstairs is being renovated, and they use electric drills every day. Not only do they wake me up early in the morning, but the noise also gives me a headache. I really can't type...

Fortunately, the renovation master is also on holiday during the National Day. I think you know what I mean.

23. Little White Phoenix vs. Thirteenth Lady

Heji took out a long sword from behind him, and I took out the cut watermelon from behind me.

There are roughly two types of guards. One is like our Yunyang, where when the lord's children reach age, they are allowed to select some capable servants to form a guard. The other is like Yunhai, where a part of the lord's exclusive guard is allocated to protect the lord's offspring.

Heji was under the jurisdiction of Yunhai Guard and Yunhai Lord. Strictly speaking, he was only responsible for Baihuang's safety. But he seemed very loyal to Baihuang. When Baihuang asked him to beat someone up, Heji did not refuse.

He pulled out a long sword that shone with silver light from its scabbard. The sword was not as sharp as Alayya's current sword "Youlong", and it was of a lower grade. But in Heji's hand, the sword seemed to have a soul. After a slight sword flower, the silver light exploded. Heji suddenly attacked, his body flew into the sky, and the sword in his hand slashed down fiercely. In an instant, it seemed as if a meteor fell into the formation.

Fang Shisan did not move. The cavalrymen on the periphery of the formation all raised their spears, and the infantrymen in the middle of the formation thrust their spears and swords into the ground. The formation trembled slightly, and the invisible but clearly felt force quickly passed through the three vertices of the triangular formation and was directed to the cavalrymen on the periphery of the circular formation. The spears in the hands of each cavalryman lit up, the tips of the spears flashed cold light, and the silver light gathered like waves.

The two forces collided with a loud bang, and the light flew away like fireworks on a midsummer night.

I took a bite of the watermelon and was the first to applaud:

"Well done! Wonderful!"

Alayya stood beside me, and the two of us were as relaxed as a couple watching anime at home... Although it was only from my perspective, Alayya held the hilt of the sword with one hand, looking nervous, afraid that I would be killed by a hidden arrow from somewhere.

Bai Huang was slightly surprised. Not only him, but even Heji showed a hint of disbelief on his face.

He used at least 70% of his strength in this move, but with such a powerful blow, not a single person in the entire army was killed.

Although Fang Shisan's hair was messy and his breathing was a little rapid.

I pinched my chin and glanced at Fang Shisan. So that's how it is. She seemed to be just sitting in the army and didn't give any clear orders, but she probably played the role of activating the formation, so she was always at the center of the formation. It was not her who blocked Heji's sword, but the power of the entire army, but Fang Shisan's role was absolutely crucial.

No wonder I heard those strategists don't live long.

Just as Heji was about to attack again, Fang Shisan suddenly spoke:

"Bai Huang... since you have such a talented person under your command, I will just acknowledge your identity for now. I can let this sword go, thinking that you have a temper like a young lady and have never seen the world. But if you strike again, your actions will be regarded as a declaration of war against Zhaochen. Yunhai does business for each household, and so far has almost no enemies, let alone clear hostile targets. Are you sure you want to smash your own signboard to the ground just to protect this Yuxi City?"

Damn it.

I didn’t even eat the melon at that time because I knew it was over.

Although Bai Huang is usually dull, she is definitely not a hot-blooded fool. From the fact that she abandoned me for her brother, it can be seen that in her heart, the interests of the family and relatives are very important. This is not a shortcoming. After all, she is not like me who was born in Yunyang but hardly feels any love here. Bai Huang is very favored in Yunhai. If her relatives treat her so well, but she still turns her elbow out, I will look down on her.

But I didn't expect Fang Shisan to react so quickly. If Bai Huang stopped He Ji at this time, it would clearly draw a line between me and me, and my tactic of using the power of the tiger to bully others would be ineffective. If I didn't stop it, this action would be equivalent to declaring war on Zhao Chen, which was not something Bai Huang could decide.

But this did not affect my plan number two. I winked at the succubus and demon behind Bai Huang, and they nodded slightly. They stared in the direction of Fang Lita, and when Fang Lita's sight moved from Heji to Bai Huang, it was inevitable that his sight crossed with that of the succubus behind Bai Huang.

In that brief moment, I clearly saw a flash of red light in Fang Lita's eyes.

It became.

Heji did not continue to take action, but waited for Bai Huang's instructions.

Bai Huang stared at Fang Shisan for a few seconds and said:

"You are very good. You can make such a big fuss with such a small group of people, and you are also very good at talking. No wonder my brother wanted to recruit you. But Fang Shisan, you are too conceited, and you think too highly of me, Bai Huang. I am just a daughter of Lord Yunhai, and you are just a daughter of Lord Zhaochen. I asked Heji to beat you, not because I want to declare war on you, but because the bastard next to you dared to scold me. No matter what, it is your Zhaochen's fault. Heji, beat me up..."

Before Bai Huang finished speaking, Fang Shisan whispered:

"Ahta, apologize."

Fang Lita clenched his fists tightly, his face full of reluctance. But in the end, he turned his head and said dissatisfiedly:

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were Bai Huang."

Bai Huang's words got stuck in his throat. I raised my eyebrows and looked at Fang Shisan. Fang Shisan still had his eyes closed, but his brows were relaxed and he said calmly:

"Is this okay, Bai Huang? Or do you want to be so arrogant and let everyone see how uneducated the pride of the Yunhai family is?"

Bai Huang sneered and said:

"Let's go, Heggie."

After saying that, she turned around and shouted to Fang Shisan:

"To tell you the truth, it was my brother's idea for me to come to Yuxi City. Yunhai has no intention of declaring war on Zhaochen, but my aunt lives in this city. You guys should stop making noises outside every other day. If you make me mentally weak, you Zhaochen will also be blamed!"

I couldn't help laughing on the side.

Fang Shisan had nothing to say. She bit her lip and thought quietly.

After a moment, all the sorrow turned into a faint sigh.

She placed her hands on the wheels of the wheelchair, slowly turned it around, and moved it backwards, while whispering an order:

"Withdraw the troops. Return to Zhaochen."

There was an indescribable sadness and despair in that voice. Although it was only for a moment, it made my heart tremble.

24. Come from Yuxi City and go to the West to get the head of the demon clan

After seeing Fang Shisan off, I suddenly felt proud.

It is indeed more comforting not to keep the hatred for so long than to say that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

As soon as Fang Shisan left, the pressure on Yuxi City was reduced a lot. Although from Alaiya's words, it can be learned that Li Neng in the east had sent people to show off his power before, but their army seemed to be at least two levels lower than the army led by Fang Shisan, and Fileta could easily defend it.

In this case, I have to think about what to do next.

The resources I have at hand right now are roughly the following.

First, let's talk about the two fighters, Alaya and Felita. Alaya's strength is similar to the last time I counted it, while Felita has slightly improved. But this improvement is very unstable. When I just came back, she was in a state of extreme fear, so scared that she couldn't fight. So I don't plan to let her release the power of the demons for the time being.

Then there is Yuxi City. But compared to the situation before I went to Yunhai, Yuxi City has made some progress. When He Yue and the old driver develop a thermal power generator, Yuxi City can officially start the industrialization era. Agricultural production has also recovered well, and the low tax policy has begun to show results, and a large amount of barren land has been reclaimed.

In addition, the demon breeding industry has begun to bear fruit. Not only has it produced a lot of rare materials, but it has also produced rare species such as colorless slimes. The two succubi have also played a good role. I think it is a huge profit.

The army also expanded from 81 to 163. Although 23 of them were assigned to Bai Huang as patrol members, the remaining official army only had 140 people.

The only problem is that the gold coins have been reduced. The original 2,500 gold coins are now reduced to about 1,500. This is inevitable. If this money is given to He Yue to manage, it will surely decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye. It hurts to think about it.

In addition to these, there are two new groups joining.

The first one is naturally He Yue, whom I abducted from Yunhai, and the assistants of He Yue that I bought with great expense. These people headed by He Yue now basically form the internal affairs system of Yuxi City, including handling some common affairs, discussing the next countermeasures, contacting and monitoring various engineering construction, etc. If I follow my own evaluation method before, like Ping Ding Alaiya and Felita, my opinion of He Yue is SSR, the same level as Alaiya.

Of course, this is only at this stage. After all, Felita is definitely the most precious person in the entire Yuxi City. It is not an exaggeration to say that she can defend the entire Yuxi City by herself. I taught Alayya the swordsmanship, and I can basically do He Yue's work now (but it will be very tiring), but there is only Felita who cannot be replaced.
