When she saw Wu Lai walking into the hall with great dignity, Addie couldn't help but shed tears. She once had the chance to become his woman, but in the end she couldn't get over the arrangement of her family and ended up in humiliation. The man she married not only surrendered to the enemy with his entire family, but also personally hunted her down. If it weren't for the troops under Wu Lai's command rushing to rescue her, she and her aunt Yin'er would have no chance of survival...

Iner was also filled with emotion. When he first met Wulai, he was just a special attendee of the Supreme Council, a businessman, and a god-favored person who invented siege weapons. But now, Wulai is not only a private lord, but also a high priest of the Assyrian Temple, and he also has a powerful navy, the size of the huge ships, the power of the artillery, all of which are the best in the world.

The first person to stand up and greet Wu Lai and his party was Daite. Although he had many feelings in his heart like In'er, he and Wu Lai were close friends after all, and they had both survived a disaster, so naturally, he was happier when they first met.

When he was five steps away from Wu Lai, Date straightened his robe and knelt on one knee: "Date Xiuman, I pay my respects to His Excellency the High Priest."

"General Date, please stand up," said Woolley with a smile.

Det stood up as he was told and exchanged a few polite words. Iner and Eddie also came forward to greet him. After another round of politeness, Wu Lai sat directly on the main seat. From beginning to end, he never even glanced at Eddie, which made Eddie even more depressed.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, we had just arranged a welcoming team, but your Excellency the High Priest's attendants told us to wait inside the house. We didn't know that your Excellency the High Priest would come so soon. I hope you can forgive me for any impoliteness." Yin'er said with a smile.

"My lord took into consideration General Yin'er's poor health," Pu Tong interrupted. He didn't want the Xiuman family to mistakenly think that Wu Lai was casual in etiquette.

"So that's how it is." A hint of surprise and gratitude flashed across Yin'er's eyes.

Wu Lai glanced at Pu Tong, smiled slightly, and said, "The Tianjuan Army is currently camping twenty miles outside of Mauritania. Although Pu Tong and Bailey have hurt and frightened them, they are still numerous and powerful, so we can't take it lightly."

Date and In'er nodded quickly, but Eddie turned his head to the side and secretly glanced at Wu Lai out of the corner of his eyes, but his body did not move.

"Muritania suffered a disaster and many people were displaced. I saw many corpses along the way just now. If we don't deal with them in time and the plague breaks out, we will be defeated without even fighting." Wu Lai continued.

"What the high priest said is true. We have just discussed how to deal with them. There are too many bodies, and some are hard to tell friend from foe. If no family members claim them after a day or two, we will bury them all at sea," said Date.

"Wait another day or two?" Wu Lai frowned and waved his hand, "Deal with it immediately. Some of the bodies are probably several days old."

"Yes, yes, but, Your Excellency the High Priest, we are short of manpower right now..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Date's face. City defense has always been the top priority, and the Shuman Army has already mobilized all the troops it can to deal with these miscellaneous matters. However, there are too many corpses and collapsed houses. After a few days, the order in Mauritania has been barely restored. If it is to be accelerated, it will be too difficult.

"Withdraw all the soldiers on the city walls, dispose of the corpses, clean up the streets, appease the people, and restore order." Wu Lai said in a deep voice, waved his sleeves, stood up and took a step forward.

"Withdraw everyone?" Dat was stunned and looked at Yin'er involuntarily.

Yin Er was also stunned. When his eyes met with Daite's, he frowned and stood up with gritted teeth: "Your Excellency the High Priest, please stay."

Wu Lai turned around and asked, "General Yin Er, is there anything else?"

"This... Your Excellency High Priest, if the defense is withdrawn... I'm afraid..." Yin'er looked embarrassed.

"Your soldiers can't resist the enemy's attack." Wu Lai glanced at Yin Er, "Leave the city defense to my 4th and 6th regiments. Also, pick out 1,000 strong soldiers. I can use them."

Yin'er was stunned again, and when he was about to say something, Wu Lai had already quickly walked out of the hall. However, Pu Tong turned around and glanced at the three of them with a playful look on his face.

"Date, follow and see him off." Yin'er urged with a frown.

"Okay." Date nodded quickly and followed quickly.

After a heavy sigh, Yin'er slowly sat back in his chair.

"Why is Auntie sighing?" Eddie asked.

"Eddie, I'm afraid that Mauritania will never belong to the Xuman family again." After saying this, In'er couldn't help but sigh. She knew very well why Wu Lai was so strong just now - the current Wu Lai was no longer the young man he used to be.

"What..." Eddie was stunned.

Yiner looked up at Eddie, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You have a good eye. It's a pity that you didn't become his woman. Just now, he was forcing our Xiuman family to express its position."

"Make a statement? Do you want us to follow him?" Eddie asked.

"No." Yin Er shook his head slowly, "My feeling is that he wants to disband the Xiuman Army."

Disband the Human Army? Eddie's heart suddenly skipped a beat...

After a while, Daite came back with a gloomy look on his face. He walked straight to In'er and sat down, then he became dazed.

…

After reading Night Blade Dance's memorial, Helen first flew into a rage, and then she suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness...

Ye Renwu's memorial was very long. It not only described in detail the entire process of the Wulai attacking the Assyrian city and recorded the damage, but also attached some of his own thoughts - "I think that Wulai Grindo holds such a huge ship and powerful weapons, and is also the high priest of the Assyrian temple. If he does not show up, it will be fine. But once he shows up, he will definitely fight to the death with our army. Although the huge ship is useless on land, the powerful weapons on the ship should be easy to move. Once used on a large scale in land battles, it will be difficult for our army to win... Now that the enemy has disappeared, I have decided to first consolidate the defense of Assyria and Annan, increase the number of garrisons, and disperse the camps..."

"Cannon, that must be the cannon he mentioned..." Helen muttered to herself. Wu Lai had mentioned the cannon war to her before, but at that time Wu Lai had also said that it would not happen soon. She also asked when it would happen, and Wu Lai smiled and replied that it might be a hundred years, or even longer...

The method of throwing the train was Helen's imitation of the artillery battle described by Woolley. It was indeed invincible as Woolley said, but now Woolley had built a real cannon.

What should I do? Helen wondered in her heart.

…

After listening to Wu Lai's arrangement, Bailey was silent and thoughtful, but Pu Tong was a little confused. After a pause, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Lord, are we going to disintegrate the Xiuman family?"

"You really can think that what I said just now was not clear enough?" Wu Lai glared at Pu Tong.

"Putong, the lord means to abolish the privileged class of citizens." Sares said after a moment's hesitation.

"Abolish citizens? God Amon, lord, think twice." Putong was shocked.

"What are you thinking twice about? This is the trend. No matter how long the process takes, the world will eventually go down this path," said Wu Lai.

"Lord, what I mean is, aren't you a citizen yourself? If you abolish the citizenship, then wouldn't you also be..." Pu Tong didn't dare to say any more.

"I advocate the abolition of this, and naturally I should start with myself." Wu Lai smiled slightly, "For now, let's start with Mauritania. Pu Tong, do you have any other suggestions?"

"No, I will obey whatever the Lord says." Pu Tong smiled and bowed, "Lord, when will you give me the title?"

"What's the hurry?" Wu Lai couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Pu Tong. "How can I go back on my word after I promised you?"

Pu Tong scratched his head embarrassedly...

…

The 4th and 6th Regiments were very busy. There were too many things waiting for them to do, such as changing guards, building fixed artillery positions, setting up observation posts, and strengthening fortifications...

Sarres led the Fifth Regiment out to sea on the Lolita. They were going back to Grindo Island to transport the artillery, ammunition, explosives, and other military supplies produced there...

The Xiuman Army has been disbanded. Those who are willing to join the war will be recruited on the spot and added to the 4th and 6th Regiments. Those who are unwilling to join the war will be dismissed on the spot. After receiving a severance pay paid by the Xiuman family, they will become civilians of Mauritania...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Woolley was also very busy. In just a few days, he accomplished three major things in Muritania. The first, of course, was to disband the Xiuman Army. The second was to abolish the citizen class. The third was to change Muritania from a town to a district and set up a district government.

The disbanding of the Xiuman Army received strong support from the Xiuman family, otherwise it would not have been so smooth, but the Xiuman family's condition was to obtain Wu Lai's protection.

Woolley's answer was: "I will support and help the Heumann family within my ability and in a manner that does not violate ethics and principles."

The Heumann family accepted this statement.

With the attitude of the Xiuman family, the second thing was done quite smoothly. Think about it, if even the Xiuman family "followed", would other citizens say no? Besides, the Xiuman family was originally the only one in Mauritania. The rest were either followers or vassals of the Xiuman family, or small families inherited from their ancestors. Even the Xiuman family could crush them to death with one finger, not to mention Wulai, whose arms were thicker than the waists of the Xiuman family.

Changing the town into a district was just a matter of words for Wu Lai, but setting up a district government office took some thought. However, with the precedent of Salt Marsh Town, it was just a little more trivial, but it was done quickly.

As a result, the entire Mauritania was slowly changing. Wu Lai knew that these changes would gradually change people's lives and cognition, allowing them to gradually accept and integrate with them after experiencing the initial surprise and shock...

In fact, Woolley had considered the imperial system, but he eventually gave up the idea. In the current difficult situation, Assyria certainly needed a powerful figure to stand up and serve as the leader of the restoration, but when everything was settled, what the people really needed was not an emperor or a dictator, but good order and rules...

…

When George saw this pair of stubborn eyes, he couldn't help but frowned, and his irritability increased a little more.

He did not expect that Polang Town would be such a tough nut to crack. There were only less than 3,000 people there, and more than half of them were civilians, but they fought against his Fifth Army of more than 10,000 troops for a whole day.

After paying the price of more than 1,700 deaths and nearly 5,000 serious and minor injuries, George finally completed half of the mission assigned to him by Qi Yuan - completely annihilating the enemy.

No, not even the complete annihilation has been completed. At least there is still a young man alive at this moment. He is right in front of George. After George showed him a look of disgust, the stubbornness in his eyes became more intense.

George knew that the young man would not live long because he was seriously injured - there were four feather arrows stuck in his body, and the one in his left abdomen nailed him directly to the wooden pillar. In addition to the arrow wounds, there were deep sword scars on the young master's waist and right shoulder. The blood flowing from the wounds not only dyed his clothes red, but also formed a small puddle on the stone slab under his feet.

But his left hand was still tightly holding a bronze dagger, but everyone knew that the young man could no longer move.

George was very curious about what made the young man in front of him hold on without dying even though his blood had been drained out. He could even stare at him with stubborn and hateful eyes. This look disgusted George and made him feel afraid.

George's eyes moved to the dagger in the boy's hand. It was an exquisitely made copper dagger, not very sharp, with a line of words engraved on the dagger.

George turned his gaze back to the boy's face: "Tell me, what's your name?"

The young master's lips, which had turned pale and blue due to excessive blood loss, trembled slightly...

George frowned, pointed at the dagger and said to the guard, "Go, bring the dagger here for me to see." For some reason, he suddenly became curious about the dagger.

The two guards immediately walked towards the young man. When they got close, one of them thrust his sword and stabbed it into the young man's chest. The other swung his sword and slashed it. The tip of the sword instantly cut through the back of the young man's hand, exposing the fascia and hand bones. Blood slowly flowed out again. As his left hand trembled violently, the dagger fell to the ground...

There was a trace of pain in the boy's eyes. He raised his head desperately and opened his mouth wide. The labored breathing actually made his cheeks, which had been pale for a long time, blush a little...

The guard picked up the dagger, wiped it clean and handed it to George.

George's eyes swept across the dagger and his brows immediately furrowed, because the dagger was engraved with - Given to Shiei by Woolleglindo.

"Your name is Shi'ai?!" George hurriedly took two steps forward.

“Yes…” The young man lowered his head slowly, and it was obvious that he had reached the point of exhaustion. Yes, he was Xi’e. After Wu Lai led the people to the battle, he begged his mother Xi Bo for two days before getting her permission to come to Polang Town to find Ma Long, because Xi’e believed that Ma Long could make him a real warrior, a warrior qualified to go to the battle with Wu Lai…

"Tell me, who is Woolleglindo to you?!" George asked loudly.

"He..." Xiai raised his head slowly again. His eyes had begun to blur and the wounds on his body no longer caused him pain.

"Hurry up!" George shouted.

"He is our true God! The invincible true God!" Xia's eyes suddenly brightened, and even his voice became extremely high-pitched.

George didn't expect that a dying teenager could still make such a loud roar. He was immediately frightened and subconsciously took two steps back before he calmed down. At the same time, Xia's head dropped heavily and there was no movement.

George suddenly felt that he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess...
