Beneath the fifteen-meter-high city wall, wagons loaded with abundant supplies entered Titan City one after another.
Although more than a dozen supply vehicles were abandoned along the way to increase speed, twenty-four vehicles still arrived safely in Titan City.
The crowd that came to greet the city lord stared in disbelief at the goods on the carriage, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Abundant meat, vegetables, wheat, thick and warm fur products, and fine military equipment such as breastplates, leg guards, and arm guards, along with a pile of magical materials, including cold stone, earth essence, and starflowers, are all abundant in the wasteland.
"What did the city lord do outside? Did he rob a caravan?"
"I don't know, but according to the Little Fox Cult's propaganda, they definitely raided our homes!"
"Judging by the scale, there's probably more than one caravan that's been affected..."
Everyone gasped slightly as they looked at the carriages linked by iron chains, their contents laid bare. While their value might not be great under normal circumstances, for Titan City at this moment, they were a godsend, not only solving the immediate crisis but also easing the pressure of the approaching winter and boosting morale to some extent.
"The little fox has clearly gained a lot from its trip to the wasteland. Judging from the abundance of these supplies, which cover clothing, food, military, and alchemy, it seems that it has defeated the lord of the wasteland and then plundered it."
Minise narrowed her eyes, her expression calm, as she examined this batch of supplies, thinking to herself.
Based on some details, she deduced that Xiao Han had done something significant in the wasteland.
She nodded slightly, her emerald pupils flashing a green light as they landed on the wolf pack behind her.
This was a pack of wolves numbering over a hundred. At a glance, there were at least fifty that had broken through the Silver Rank, dragging Titan City's chariots and transporting even more valuable supplies.
But the most significant change was in the wolf riders, who were not only assigned fierce mounts, but also clad in armor and armed to the teeth with spears. The armor was even the symbol of the Duchy of Bailan, and there were traces of damage on the armor, which was obviously captured after defeating the Grand Lord.
The little fox's operation was a huge success. Minise didn't even need to think twice; given the fox's vigilance, he cleaned up all traces afterward and framed Constantinople for the blame.
After all, every winter, a large number of forces would use the pretext of seeking refuge to plunder the territories of various duchies, and Constantinople, which was at war with the duchies, would become the perfect scapegoat.
In any case, the northern overlord, who possesses the Golden Family, had already declared war on the three southern duchies. Having more problems to deal with actually enhanced his status and influence, attracting some forces oppressed by the duchies to truly come and join him.
"Bang!"
A royal carriage, surrounded by a crowd, peeked out. Khrushchev, who was standing nearby, stood up and respectfully pulled down the curtain. A slender figure stepped out from inside.
A cold wind swept by, causing strands of hair as black as night to float up. A pair of bright red pupils surged with molten lava, bursting with blood-red light, which warmed the surrounding temperature slightly.
Just from those eyes, everyone felt a sense of oppression, as if they were facing a ferocious beast that could unleash a storm of blood and qi at any moment.
But the oppressive feeling vanished in the next instant, and Xiao Han, who had just stepped out of the car, twitched at the corner of his mouth, only to realize that they had arrived in Titan City.
Previously, in order to prepare for the Winter's Calamity, Xiao Han had poured in demonic flames and bombarded the military buildings of the Duchy, which had consumed a lot of his energy. Moreover, the magic cannon had hit him once, and his health bar was still at 74%, not fully recovered.
He suppressed his demonic flames, returned to his carriage for a short nap, and while recovering his energy, he also digested the spoils of war.
Upon first sight of Titan City, huh? Just like when we set off for the expedition, it was a group of cabinet members who had even vomited from drinking lemonade, looking completely bewildered.
Minise, as the Prime Minister, stood quietly in a corner, a faint smile on her face, watching him.
"Lord City Lord, welcome back!"
Countless people, filled with awe, gratitude, and admiration, cheered loudly for the fox-man boy before them.
Xiao Han was taken aback, but didn't say anything. Instead, he directed his subordinates to move the supplies.
With a wolf pack of over a hundred, it was impossible for them to stay in Titan City for the New Year. Xiao Han had Radiant translate and had the wolf pack pull eight wagons full of meat, along with some supplies, to Darkmoon Forest for the winter.
Oh, and there are also some snow foxes who followed them. Titan City can't deal with them for the time being. To be honest, Xiao Han wanted to roast these snow foxes, but his subordinates seem to have misunderstood something, making it seem like the snow fox clan is his relative.
Fortunately, there were only 16 snow foxes following them, because the snow fox family was kept in captivity, some of which were skinned in slaughterhouses, while the vast majority were released into the wild and returned to freedom.
However, with the ice wave, it's difficult for free-roaming snow foxes to survive this natural disaster. Perhaps these 16 snow foxes are the last survivors.
Xiao Han's action immediately moved the wolf pack to tears of gratitude. They were grateful for the Fox King's benevolence and vowed to grow grapes for him next year!
Because of the contrast with the wolf king who exploited the wolf pack, the fox king, who led the wolf pack to plunder the wasteland for free, was portrayed as a god-like figure.
But in Xiao Han's eyes, the Dark Moon Forest is the future habitat for taming wolf packs and a crucial part of the plan to train cavalry.
"Is this the bandit leader's lair?"
The young man who got off the bus was dumbfounded. Looking at the stone wall built outside the city, its simple appearance seemed as if a rainstorm could destroy it.
Upon closer inspection, however, the stone wall was engraved with magical patterns that shimmered with a faint light. Only a mage at the late Silver rank could have created such a masterpiece.
"Being a thief is just a side job; the one who manages this city is a lord."
