795 Resistance from the Administration Bureau (1/2)

Chapter 795 – Resistance from the Administration Bureau

Gaia 4th year, 1st month, 11th day, Consonance City.

Many days had passed since the Battle of Wenshan City. Yesterday, the Dragon Legion Corps had reported that they had taken down the entire Tengyue Prefecture.

Frontline intel suggested that after the fall of the Alliance Army, the sieges were exceedingly simple and effortless. Before they even reached the enemy cities, the defending troops would just open the gates and surrender.

Pretty much nothing of note happened along the way.

This was caused by their strength; they were simply unstoppable. With that, Tengyue Prefecture was untouched by war and avoided a calamity, which was a win-win for both of them.

At the same time, the Battle of Yizhou island was coming to an end.

King City gave up the moment the two squadrons sealed up Yizhou Straits. Even if Xiong Ba went back, he could not do anything. Seeing that no reinforcements were arriving, the resistance naturally became weaker and weaker.

Coordinating with the 3rd legion of the Tiger Legion Corps, the army sieged the place and occupied the cities.

With that, the entire Nanjiang battle was settled.

At the end of the month, it would be New Year's Eve. The end of the war brought peace and prosperity to the Lunar New Year. Furthermore, during this time, soldiers would miss their families, so it was not a good time to fight.

Not only Nanjiang, but the entire China Region also started to slow down their fights to welcome yet another Lunar New Year.

......

On this day, Huo Qubing's Guards Legion Corps reached Consonance City and camped outside of the city.

Two days ago, the Swordsman City Army left Dongchuan Prefecture. However, before they left, they performed a truly despicable act, sweeping away Dongchuan Prefecture.

A portion of the rich chambers of commerce and aristocratic families were taken by them.

Postwar calculations found that the army had taken close to 400 thousand from Dongchuan Prefecture, which was a huge hit to the prefecture that was not really rich to begin with.

Some of the chambers of commerce were even in danger of closing down because they did not have any movable funds to buy resources.

Apart from that, the 15 thousand prisoners of the Guards Legion were taken back to his territory. Feng Qingyang's attitude was extremely clear; he was not willing to face off against them, but he was not willing to cooperate with them either.

Feng Qingyang probably thought that Shanhai City would not do anything to him if he retreated back to the Shu Lands.

Ouyang Shuo could only say that he was too naive.

That day, Ouyang Shuo used the Quick Daily News to call out Feng Qingyang; he told him to return the prisoners within a week and pay 800 thousand gold for the damages he had caused to Dongchuan Prefecture.

If not, they could only go to war.

Ouyang Shuo was not just saying such words for fun. After the Guards Legion Corps reached Consonance City, Huo Qubing had a conversation with Ouyang Shuo. The next day, they left the camp and waltzed into Dongchuan Prefecture.

Yongren City would forever be the humiliation of the Guards Legion Corps, so one would think that they were just there to stroll around now. From a distance away, everyone could smell the scent of revenge.

The clouds of battle that had stopped seemed like they were going to start once more.

Shu Lands, Swordsman City.

Different from the other main cities, Swordsman City had a thick underworld smell. All around the streets, one could see underworld people; there were hundreds of dojos, creating a truly majestic sight.

In such an atmosphere, the people's desire to learn martial arts was truly strong.

Battle arenas, sparring competitions, and the like were played out every moment. For this, Swordsman City had modeled after the special police force in olden times and formed their own constable organization to take care of the underworld warriors.

Even the central streets of the city were designed into a giant sword.

The sword handle area was the City Lord's Manor.

In the reading room, when Feng Qingyang saw the report, he was furious. He viciously said, ”Bastard, I've never seen such an arrogant person. Let's fight, who's afraid of who?”

When Feng Qingyue sitting opposite him saw his reaction, she sighed.

Feng Qingyue did not expect him to be so rash; he actually used the army to rob the people for just 400 thousand gold.

The moment this news was released, it made Swordsman City the laughing stock of the world.

All the Lords of the territories that managed to survive till now all knew the importance of people sentiment. Apart from the sentiment of people in your territory, the Lord's prestige was extremely important too.

The Alliance Army was willing to surrender because of Ouyang Shuo's fame. Honglu Temple had even set up a division to be in charge of spreading the name of the Monarch.

In comparison, Feng Qingyang's actions would make one furious.
