A small town a few dozen kilometers away from Radiant City.
The location here is very remote, situated on a huge mountainside, making it a prime location.
After more than half a year of meticulous renovation, the town has been transformed into a fortified place.
The towering city walls formed a majestic barrier, almost completely enclosing the entire town.
The city wall, seven meters high and two meters wide, was constructed from a mixture of sturdy stones and thick timber, with mud filling the gaps, making it virtually impregnable.
On the city wall, watchtowers were set up at intervals, and the guards on the towers were always vigilant, watching the surrounding movements.
This is Mad Blade City.
The town lord's mansion in the center of town was transformed from the original town government building.
The building, along with several nearby annexes, sits on a small hill, a strategically important location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Inside the reception room of the city lord's mansion.
Zi Ling and Chen Sisi (Chen Yin) sat in armchairs, chatting leisurely.
Wang He, the city lord of Mad Blade City, strode into the reception room.
He was tall and robust, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, his gaze revealing a kind of determination and courage.
His bronze skin looked exceptionally healthy under the light, and his short, stiff hair, like the quills of a hedgehog, gave him a capable appearance.
He was wearing a black leather armor made of some unknown creature, and carrying a large sword more than two meters long on his back.
However, that broadsword had a very long handle, much like the long sword of the Tang Dynasty.
The blade itself has a very peculiar shape, with a natural curve, resembling the claw of some kind of creature.
Wang He walked up to Zi Ling and said respectfully, "Lady Zi Ling, I have received news that the Mad Wolf Tribe has indeed begun to take action. In addition, Sun Xing, one of Jin Jizhen's subordinates, has just reached an agreement with me. He is willing to send 500 soldiers and 12 evolved beings, and is also willing to pay us rice coupons for 50 tons of grain, just to make the Mad Wolf Tribe pay the price it deserves."
Then, he looked at his nominal wife, Chen Sisi (Chen Yin), and said with a smile, "My lady, you were right. Sun Xing did indeed agree to my request."
Chen Sisi (Chen Yin) nodded indifferently to Wang He and said to Zi Ling, "Lady Zi Ling, next, can we take direct action against the Divine Emperor City? As long as we completely take over the Divine Emperor City, we can force the Mad Wolf Tribe to seek help from the power behind him."
Zi Ling coldly smiled and said, "Fine, I will directly send the Blood Guards and Red Guards to take down the high-ranking officials of the Divine Emperor City and keep the news from the outside world. You, on your side, keep putting pressure on the Mad Wolf Tribe. Don't rush to take action. Force the forces behind them to surface."
"On the other hand, we should notify all the nearby forces that Mad Blade City has joined forces with Sun Xing this time only to wipe out the Mad Wolf Tribe, which has always liked to plunder. I think they will be happy to hear this news, rather than making wild guesses and ending up in a state of panic."
"Our master said that population is the most important thing. We must try our best to keep everyone here! In the end, we must get them all to join Radiant City!"
At this point, Zi Ling added with a cold laugh, "That external force, which is courting death, wants to meddle in Radiant City. Then it should be prepared to be swallowed up by us."
Chen Sisi (Chen Yin) nodded.
Wang He's eyes also gleamed.
The Blood Maiden saved his and his brothers' lives, and he should have sworn to follow her to the death.
Unfortunately, the Blood Maiden does not accept male subordinates.
He could only follow Lady Ziling's arrangements and continue to expand his power.
Finally, with the help of Lady Blood, it developed into the Mad Blade City it is today.
All of this was given to me by Lady Blood!
Moreover, Mad Blade City has been secretly enjoying the resources provided to them by the Blood Maiden's forces.
Now, it's finally my turn and my brothers to pledge our loyalty to the Blood Lady!
What Mad Wolf Tribe, what Divine Emperor City, and all those other messy forces—it wasn't time for you to live a carefree life before.
Now, Lady Blood Lady is finally going to begin unifying Glory City and its surroundings!
He firmly believed that only Lady Blood was qualified to unify Glory City and change the current chaotic situation!
The apocalypse has lasted so long, and humanity's situation is extremely difficult. These forces need to unite and work together.
Instead, they each look after themselves, are wary of each other, and engage in pointless internal strife.
They are utterly sinners against humanity!
Divine Emperor City.
Despite being called the City of the Gods, it was actually just a small village located on the top of a low mountain.
Before the apocalypse, this village had only a little over 1,000 inhabitants.
But now, it has grown to more than 3,000 people.
Since the plants mutated and grew wildly, and various incredible mutated insects appeared, more and more survivors began to move to larger settlements.
Especially in large residential areas like Radiant City, it is the preferred choice for everyone.
However, becoming a resident of the inner city of Radiant City is extremely difficult.
Now, the population in the outer city of Radiant City is also increasing, making the competition too fierce.
Many people then tried joining other smaller communities.
For example, forces like Mad Blade City and Mad Wolf Tribe.
The Divine Emperor City, due to its superior geographical location, has also attracted many people to visit.
Inside the city lord's mansion in the Divine Emperor City, there were more than a dozen people sitting.
Li Haotian sat calmly on the city lord's throne, his face serene and composed.
He calmly listened to the discussion among his confidants and capable subordinates.
A subordinate's voice was deep and powerful: "Lord Haotian, the Mad Wolf Tribe is in crisis, and we cannot stand idly by."
"Mad Blade City is now powerful, and with Sun Xing's troops to help us, if we act rashly, we might suffer more losses than gains," one of his subordinates said worriedly.
Another burly man sneered, "Why would our Divine Emperor City be afraid of them? The Mad Wolf Tribe has always been on good terms with us. If we stand by and watch them die, who will trust our Divine Emperor City in the future?"
One of the subordinates hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "I've heard that the Lord of Mad Blade City is incredibly powerful. He once single-handedly defeated several evolved beings, forcing them to surrender and hand over a large amount of supplies. If we want to take action, we can only rely on Lord Haotian's power."
"Yes, I think we should focus on development and not worry about these disputes."
"Ignore these disputes? In this apocalyptic world, if we don't get a share of the spoils from the great reshuffle as soon as possible, we'll only be swallowed up later!"
"However, Mad Blade City and its city lord are very powerful, and Sun Xing is Jin Jizhen's subordinate. If he can get Jin Jizhen to help him, we..."
"Enough!" Li Haotian slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and stood up. "I don't care about the City Lord of Mad Blade City! I, Li Haotian, have experienced countless battles in this apocalypse and have never backed down. This time, I will let everyone know that my Divine Emperor City is not to be trifled with."
