A red flag with a large "Tang" character embroidered in gold thread on it.
The grand procession followed the flag all the way to the vicinity of Hope City.
Although Li Tianfang is a lunatic, he is also genuinely capable.
Among all the forces that came to Hope City, his strength was indeed the most formidable.
The city lord handled the situation the same way as before, instructing Li Tianfang's men to find a place to camp near Hope City.
With Li Tianfang's arrival, the forces around Rongcheng have finally gathered together, and now they can finally hold a meeting to discuss the alliance.
City Lord's Mansion, Conference Room.
Everyone gathered together.
The city lord surveyed the room, finding most of the faces familiar, along with some rising stars from this era. However, based on her observation, none of them could compare to Zhang Lin.
Therefore, the city lord became even more determined to promote Zhang Lin and make him the leader of the alliance.
"Now that Li Tian is here, let's discuss how we can jointly resist the beast tide!"
She knew everyone was eager for her to step forward, but she used her old method: stall for time, slowly building Zhang Lin's reputation, and then, when the time was right, immediately pushing Zhang Lin forward.
Everyone in the conference room was immediately filled with questions.
What's going on?!
Everyone's waiting for the city lord to make a statement, but she just won't say anything...
In the end times, morality declines and order collapses.
Everyone present was shrewd; even in the face of a beast tide and a life-or-death situation, they still harbored all sorts of ulterior motives.
They won't accept someone else as their leader.
They both know each other and themselves; neither of them is a good person.
Only the city lord.
She spent countless hours proving herself.
She truly had no selfish motives in becoming the leader.
Only under the leadership of the city lord could these people, each with their own ulterior motives, gather together with peace of mind to face the beast tide.
Therefore, in the city lord's eyes, it was actually these leaders of the various forces who were begging her to let them be the boss.
Disunity in the face of a beast tide leads only to certain death.
However, without a qualified leader, humanity might survive, but they would be killed by enemies or self-serving high-ranking officials.
Only the city lord.
It can earn everyone's trust.
This is a phenomenon that does not exist in other regions.
Therefore, the leaders of these forces are getting anxious as the city lord remains silent.
"Lord, with the beast tide approaching, shouldn't we formally establish an alliance?"
"Yes, Lord City Lord, we only respect you. Show us your stance!"
"Without a proper name, there's no right to speak, City Lord. Let's establish an alliance first before discussing the fight against the beast tide..."
"..."
However, the city lord remained unhurried in the face of everyone's eagerness, and said calmly, "Since you are not in a hurry to talk about resisting the beast tide, let me talk about something else first."
After saying that, she didn't give anyone a chance to speak again, and said directly, "Zhang Lin brought Li Tianfang and the Tang army back, preserving the strength of the human camp. This is a great achievement, and I plan to reward him. I'll announce it here..."
? ? ?
Leaving aside others, Zhang Lin was completely baffled by all of this.
He is from Hope City. The city lord can decide whether to reward or punish him himself. Why announce it at such a grand meeting?
But only one person became excited.
"Dad, it seems I made the right decision this time!"
Peng Yong said excitedly to his father, Peng Bing.
He contributed his efforts on this trip, so if the city lord is going to reward him, he should definitely get a share, right?
"Well, although you didn't disrupt the mission, it's not bad that you got a share of the credit. With so many big shots here, the city lord rewarding you in public will make you famous!" Peng Bing smiled slightly and nodded with great satisfaction.
The others were full of questions and didn't understand what the city lord was trying to hide, but since she didn't express her opinion, they could only listen to what she had to say.
"From today onward, all of you must remember that Zhang Lin is my spokesperson. His will is my will, and his attitude is my attitude!" The city lord looked at the crowd and announced calmly, "From now on, his status in Hope City is second only to mine. This is my reward for him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the conference room erupted in chaos.
Isn't this reward too generous?
It has even gone beyond the scope of a reward.
After the city lord finished speaking, in Hope City and the Alliance, when the city lord was present, Zhang Lin was just a captain, but when the city lord was absent, he was essentially the city lord...
"Who exactly is he that the city lord values so highly?"
"Even Xia Xiaonuan doesn't receive this kind of treatment..."
"No, what gives him the right?"
"..."
The crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
However, some of the clever people remained silent, while others seemed to have guessed the city lord's meaning.
The city lord observed the crowd's reactions.
She knew that what she was doing would cause some controversy, but it didn't matter. For a capable person, controversy was just a passing breeze, and apart from making him feel a little uncomfortable, it wouldn't have any real impact on him.
On the contrary, once her extraordinary reward was announced, at least for now, all the forces, large and small, around Hope City would remember Zhang Lin's name.
In the crowd.
Peng Yong's expression changed, from excitement and anticipation to confusion and bewilderment.
etc……
What about me?
I went with Zhang Lin. Although I didn't kill as many minotaurs as Zhang Lin, I was the one who risked contacting Li Tianfang, and I also killed several minotaurs...
