No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Ning Fan really wanted to recruit Xue Wen.
The reason is that, at present, Ning Fan has too few high-level combat capabilities at his disposal.
Although you have an army, you can't always sacrifice the lives of your soldiers when you encounter a master, right?
That’s right, Ning Fan himself is very strong.
But no matter how strong he is, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself.
Before in the lower city, he had a lot of helpers around him, whether it was Guan Shanyue or Wigginton, they could both stand on their own.
And now…
Honestly, there are a lot of them here, General Zhi.
But there are indeed not enough military generals.
If Ning Fan could recruit some people with abilities similar to Xue Weng before arriving at Diancheng, it would make things much easier for him.
Strictly speaking, Xue Weng's strength is not very strong, but it is definitely not weak.
Quasi-six wastelands.
According to Ning Fan's estimation, it was roughly equivalent to the high-level [Hundred Souls Level], infinitely close to the [Thousand Souls Level].
Of course, this also means that after the people from the lower city come up, the spirit servants will disappear.
Otherwise, Ning Fan would not be short of this level of combat power.
For Xue Wen, Ning Fan's invitation was obviously a surprise to him.
At the same time, he also understood Ning Fan's words.
"Can you let go of everyone in Luoyue City?"
Xue Weng did not directly answer Ning Fan's question, but asked Ning Fan a question in return.
"certainly."
Ning Fan smiled and said, "My people have been staying outside, which means I don't really like bloodshed."
Xue Weng agreed with Ning Fan.
Let’s not talk about how many people Ning Fan has outside.
With Ning Fan's own strength alone, the life and death of the people in Luoyue City is just a matter of his thought.
"Xue Weng! What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and agree to Mr. Ning..."
On the side, Chen Xin became anxious.
He had too few chips to offer, and now that Ning Fan was interested in Xue Wen, he seemed to have seen a way out for himself.
However, his words were interrupted by a look from Ning Fan.
After Chen Xin shut up, Ning Fan said to Xue Weng again, "I won't give you much time to consider. Now you can express your attitude."
Xue Wen could tell that Ning Fan was not a very patient person.
At least, definitely not for him.
"I can follow you."
Xue Weng made a quick decision, but then added, "Mr. Ning... can you let him go?"
Ning Fan was a little surprised.
According to Ning Fan's perspective on people, he had already noticed that Xue Weng was quite dissatisfied with Chen Xin's performance.
As for the reason, Ning Fan was also very clear.
But now Xue Wen still asked him to let Chen Xin go...
"I promised the king that I would protect him."
Xue Weng gave the answer directly without waiting for Ning Fan to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Ning Fan understood everything.
At the same time, he also thought of an old friend.
Jia Hu.
Just as Jia Hu kept his promise to the Luo family, Xue Weng was also fulfilling what he had promised.
It was this feeling that made Ning Fan more interested in Xue Wen.
Originally, he just wanted to recruit someone with similar combat power, but Xue Weng's loyalty was definitely an unexpected surprise.
"Can."
Ning Fan smiled and nodded: "Are there any other conditions?"
“No more.”
Xue Weng said decisively: "Those who surrender are not qualified to make conditions."
"You're welcome to join us."
Ning Fan walked up to Xue Weng and patted him on the shoulder: "I hope we can get along happily in the future."
The happiest person at this moment, besides Ning Fan, is Chen Xin.
Xue Weng has already pleaded for him, which means he will definitely survive.
But what he didn't expect was that after Ning Fan agreed to Xue Weng, he mobilized a person from Jinfeng City.
Someone he would work with in the future.
Little York.
…
The troops in the lower city rested outside the city.
With Ning Fan and Duan Weijun around, although the team was a little restless, they were still able to calm down.
Ning Fan captured Luoyue City without bloodshed, and then began to consider the problems of the other two cities.
Xue Weng did not hide anything and told Ning Fan everything he knew.
Xu Jiang had said at the time that in addition to Luoyue City, there were two other cities that also expressed their willingness not to participate in any fighting.
These three cities are united with each other, giving people a sense of advancing and retreating together.
Now that Ning Fan has taken over Luoyue City, it is equivalent to tearing a hole in this line of defense.
This was not only about being able to learn specific information about the other two cities from Xue Weng and Chen Xin, but most importantly, with Luoyue City captured by Ning Fan, the other two cities were...
Will you still be so determined?
Sure enough, Ning Fan had only been staying in Luoyue City for two days when Chen Xin came to him happily to tell him the good news.
"Mr. Ning, the... City Lord of Wangchun City, wishes to speak with you."
This invitation is not just good news for Ning Fan.
Chen Xin was happier than Ning Fan.
If I can help Ning Fan take over these three cities, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Just as Chen Xin had thought before, since he had decided to surrender, he would definitely help Ning Fan with all his strength in the future.
This is not because he is so loyal, but because he has greater ambitions and higher aspirations.
"The Lord of Wangchun City..."
Ning Fan was enjoying a delicious breakfast at the moment. After hearing Chen Xin's report, he didn't agree directly. Instead, he asked, "You said before that the Lord of Wangchun City has the strength of Liuhuang, right?"
Chen Xin nodded immediately: "Yes, Mr. Ning, their city lord Zhou Xing broke through to the Six Desolate Realm a few years ago."
Ning Fan thought about it.
"There's no rush yet."
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment.
Ning Fan looked up at him.
"You don't have to reply to him. Wait for him to contact you again."
Of course, Chen Xin was not stupid either. He immediately understood that Ning Fan wanted to delay the other party.
"Mr. Ning, Zhou Xing has a hot temper. I'm afraid if you leave him alone for too long, he might..."
"What could it be?"
Ning Fan interrupted Chen Xin: "Maybe he'll be angry, then what?"
Chen Xin was speechless.
In fact, even if Zhou Xing was angry...
That's not much use.
Ning Fan’s own strength is there, and there are millions of troops outside the city.
With this confidence, why would I be afraid that you will be unhappy with me?
"Okay, Mr. Ning, I understand."
Chen Xin didn't dare to disturb him too much.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhou Xing got angry.
But if Ning Fan gets angry, nothing good will happen to him.
It was afternoon.
Chen Xin appeared in front of Ning Fan again.
"Mr. Ning, Zhou Xing... contacted me again."
To be honest, Chen Xin didn't expect Zhou Xing to be so anxious this time.
In his impression, Zhou Xing is not someone who can be easily manipulated.
Ning Fan was quite relaxed, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.
"Tell him that if he wants to talk, he can come to Luoyue City."
