"My lord, it's absolutely true! At that time, I was on the verge of death. A ferocious beast, its claws sharp as knives, with a chilling force, was aimed straight at my throat. I felt that claw was filled with endless malice; with each step closer, the shadow of death loomed deeper. I could even feel the icy chill emanating from its claws, as if in the next second it would mercilessly tear my throat apart, blood would gush out, and I would die. Just when I was filled with despair, thinking I was doomed, Mr. Fang Han appeared like a god descending to earth, riding his sword with unparalleled momentum, and with a single strike, he killed the beast, successfully saving my life!"
A middle-aged man spoke with great emotion, his voice still trembling with the shock of surviving a close call.
His once imposing armor was now tattered and covered in marks of battle, as if telling the story of the extremely fierce fight that had just taken place.
He served as a centurion in the Demon Suppression Army and was a man of unwavering integrity.
His cultivation level was quite high, having reached the Martial Grandmaster realm, and he was somewhat well-known in the Demon Suppression Army.
Even so, he nearly lost his life in front of that ferocious monster, which shows how powerful the monster was.
"That's right, that's right! Mr. Fang didn't just save me, he saved all of us! We were surrounded by a group of demonic beasts, and the situation was extremely critical. We all thought we were going to die there. It was Mr. Fang who arrived in time. With his unfathomable swordsmanship, he drove the demonic beasts back step by step, and finally killed them all. Moreover, Mr. Fang not only saved us, but also showed great righteousness by letting us collect the essence blood of the demonic beasts ourselves. You know, the essence blood of demonic beasts is an extremely precious thing, which is of great help to our cultivation. Not only that, he was also worried that we were too badly injured, so he specially gave us healing pills. If it weren't for these pills given by Mr. Fang, all of us would probably have died on that battlefield."
"My lord, Mr. Fang is truly a hero! He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also cares deeply for the common people. For the sake of us soldiers, he risked his life to fight against demonic beasts. People like him are the ones our Demon Suppression Army should truly admire and follow."
"Our Demon Suppression Army has been fighting against demonic beasts for a long time, but it is too difficult for us to completely eradicate them on our own. I think that only by cooperating closely with the Demon Suppression Division and relying on its powerful strength can we truly wipe out those demonic beasts that are harming the human world."
"Hmph, just thinking about it makes me angry! That Lord Wu is a complete coward, a wimp as coward as a mouse. In that life-or-death moment, he only thought about escaping with his daughter Wu Hanchun, completely disregarding the lives of us soldiers. Compared to Mr. Fang, he's like heaven and earth, there's no comparison at all!"
Many soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army spoke out with righteous indignation.
When they spoke of Fang Han, their tone was filled with reverence and gratitude, and the light in their eyes was as if Fang Han were a god in their hearts.
Champion Marquis Li Hong sat to the side, listening to everyone's words. His face instantly turned extremely gloomy, like the sky before a storm, terrifyingly dark.
He never expected that his men would be so easily won over by Fang Han.
In his mind, Fang Han was just a guy who suddenly appeared and stole his original prestige in the Demon Suppression Army, which made him feel extremely angry and jealous.
“Mr. Fang, I did not desert my post! At that time, You Sanqian had already been devoured by the ferocious Nine Nether Ice Lion, while Wu Yi and I were still fighting desperately against the monsters. When we were about to give up, Yang Xiao came to my rescue on his sword. So, it was not because I was afraid of death!”
After a long pause, the Marquis of Champion finally spoke, his voice tinged with helplessness and explanation: "Moreover, the reason the soldiers deserted this time was entirely because City Lord Wu fled with Wu Hanchun. Their escape was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly throwing the army into disarray. When everyone saw that the city lord had run away, they naturally panicked, which led to the desertion."
He did not do this perfectly; in fact, he made some mistakes.
Therefore, he couldn't directly turn against Fang Han, since he still needed the support of these soldiers. If he lost the hearts of the people, his title of Marquis of Champion would be meaningless.
"Since this matter was caused by City Lord Wu, then City Lord Wu and Wu Hanchun should bear the corresponding responsibility. I suggest that City Lord Wu be removed from his post, and the city's defense forces be temporarily under the command of our Demon Suppression Division. Only in this way can we better deal with the upcoming monster attacks and protect the safety of the people of Tianyi City."
Fang Han said it directly and decisively.
"Fang Han, you...you have no right to do this! How can you arbitrarily remove someone from the position of city lord? This is blatant disregard for the law!"
Before Wu Tian could speak, Wu Hanchun roared furiously, his face flushed red, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
“This is a special time, and of course I have this authority. Moreover, I have already sent a message to Tianyuan County, asking Prefect Han Wentian to directly dismiss you from your position as city lord. I believe that Prefect Han is a reasonable person and he will make the right judgment.”
Fang Han said calmly, as if everything was under his control.
