After a long while, the Champion Marquis finally recovered from his extreme shock. His expression was complicated, his eyes filled with resentment and awe. His lips trembled slightly, and he managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Fang Han, I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

Fang Han's expression was cold and stern, with a hint of mockery and confidence. He slowly said, "Champion Marquis, it seems you don't have the courage to fight me? In that case, the city defense army will be under my command."

The champion remained silent, only lowering his head slightly, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

This silence is already a tacit consent.

Given his personality, if there were even the slightest room for rebuttal, he would have jumped out and loudly opposed it without hesitation.

At this moment, he knew that Fang Han's strength was unfathomable and that he was no match for him, so he could only choose to endure and back down.

However, at this moment, Wu Tian, ​​who had been secretly observing from the sidelines, openly stepped forward.

He straightened his back, raised his head, and said loudly, "Fang Han, you are indeed very strong, I have to admit that. And your status and position are indeed a notch higher than mine, Wu Tian. But I, Wu Tian, ​​am the city lord personally appointed by Prefect Han of Tianyuan County. If you want to command the city defense army, you can't get the Tiger Tally without my consent. Without the Tiger Tally, the city defense army will never obey your orders."

“That’s right. In Tianyi City, no one can mobilize the city’s defense forces without my father’s permission.”

Wu Hanchun chimed in, her eyes revealing a smug and provocative look, as if she were demonstrating against Fang Han.

Fang Han remained unmoved. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile, and his eyes showed a confident and self-assured look.

He slowly extended one hand, palm open.

No one understood what Fang Han meant by extending one hand. All eyes were focused on his hand, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun felt a chill run down their spines. They were worried that Fang Han was going to attack them, and their eyes revealed a hint of panic and vigilance.

Just then, a bluebird flew in like a green lightning bolt.

Its body is light and graceful, and as it flaps its wings, it creates a gentle breeze and emits a melodious chirping sound.

After circling once in the air, the bluebird landed steadily in Fang Han's hand.

Fang Han remained calm and gently removed a letter tube that was tied to the bluebird's leg.

The mailbox was small and exquisite. Fang Han slowly opened it and took out a letter.

The letter was slightly yellowed and covered with densely written characters.

"This is the prefectural governor's order from Prefect Han of Tianyuan County. Wu Tian, ​​you were just the city lord of Tianyi City, but you are not now."

Fang Han said calmly, his voice steady and composed.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

Wu Tian's face instantly turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He kept muttering to himself, his eyes filled with fear and despair, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

He didn't even dare to look at the prefectural governor's decree in Fang Han's hand, as if it were a judgment that could send him to hell.

"Fang Han, you forged the prefect's edict, that's a serious crime."

Wu Hanchun, however, looked at Fang Han with a cold smile, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain, and said loudly, "You really will stop at nothing to gain command of the city's defense forces. Do you think you can fool us like this?"

Fang Han merely smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of disdain and composure.

He said calmly, "I sent a letter to Prefect Han a long time ago, asking him to remove Wu Tian, ​​this incompetent city lord. Wu Hanchun, you don't understand anything, but your father must recognize the prefect's seal on this official document, right? Can this be forged?"

"show me!"

Wu Tian then seemed to wake from a dream. With trembling hands, he took the prefectural governor's order delivered by Qingniao from Fang Han's hand.

Then he saw the bright red seal of the prefect on the prefect's edict. The seal was bright and eye-catching, the characters on it were clearly legible, and it exuded an aura of authority.

"This...this is actually real..."

Wu Tian muttered to himself, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He had seen the prefect's seal many times and knew its authenticity. At this moment, his last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

"Tantai Qiuyue will temporarily take charge of everything in Tianyi City until a new city lord arrives. Wu Tian, ​​you are no longer the city lord and must leave the city lord's mansion." Fang Han withdrew the prefectural governor's order and said calmly, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun dared not say anything more, and could only slink away with a few trusted followers, preparing to leave.

“You have several houses in Tianyi City. You can live elsewhere, but you are people of Tianyi City. Your salaries are supported by the people of Tianyi City. Now that Tianyi City is plagued by monsters, you must also participate in the extermination of monsters.”

But Fang Han said to Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun.

"Yes, Mr. Fang."

Wu Tian dared not disobey Fang Han's orders, so he could only nod in agreement.

Soon, Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun, along with some of their trusted subordinates, left the city lord's mansion.

“Champion Marquis, you have already set up camp in Tianyi City, so please return to your camp. I will temporarily manage the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Then, Fang Han spoke to the champion.

The Marquis of Champions did not speak, and left with Wu Yi, the injured Yang Xiao, and the more than one hundred soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army who had been rescued by Fang Han.

Fang Han was too strong, so he could only swallow his anger.

Then the city garrison troops returned to their garrison.

Originally, some people received news that the city's defense forces had been taken over by Fang Han of the Demon Suppression Division, which made many people indignant.

However, when the dozens of city defense soldiers that Fang Han had rescued recounted what had happened that day, the city defense soldiers' attitude changed.

It should be noted that Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun's escape today resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,700 soldiers in the city's defense forces. Apart from Wu Tian's 200 or so close confidants who escaped with him, the rest of the soldiers were essentially killed by Fang Han.

The city garrison despises such behavior.

Therefore, they felt that Wu Tian was indeed no longer qualified to command the city's defense forces.
