Su Mingan was in the core building of the inner city, also known as the Political Building, and only important military and political personnel were allowed to enter. But as he was looking from afar, countless vehicles approached here. The vehicles below were lined up in a long queue, and the number alone was enough to make one's scalp numb.
The end of a war does not mean the end of everything, there are more things to deal with.
Post-war commendations, profit division, casualty compensation, alliance relations, prisoner handling...these are all issues.
As soon as the war was over, all kinds of experts, scholars, generals, broadcasters, reporters, even historians, writers, artists... all wanted to contact him. There were also allies from the major free camps, surrendered God's Agents, the Free Alliance, the Inquisition, the Holy Tribunal, various mercenary groups, small and medium-sized gathering places... They all needed to communicate with him.
When the doctor changed his dressing, Su Mingan felt a headache.
There were too many people in this room, and people were still coming in. The way they looked at him was familiar to Su Mingan, it was the look of a hero.
The crowd was quiet for a short while before they started to make noise again. Su Mingan had only been unconscious for one night, and various urgent issues came one after another.
"City Lord, regarding the technology network allocation of the City of God, Yaoguang Anita wants to discuss with you..."
"City Lord, regarding the compensation for the casualties and the rewards for the meritorious soldiers..."
"Lord Lewis, the victory of the war happens to be the first day of the Fortune Festival. The Free Alliance hopes that you will use this as a name to start a new era and set the 49th year of the Cataclysm as the first year of the new era."
"City Lord, Hope City and Antofa City wish to negotiate with you regarding the distribution of profits after the war..."
"Doctor, regarding the 'Dawn System' mentioned by former Commander Tretia, we have a preliminary plan on how to deal with it, and we need you to decide..."
Su Mingan's brain was about to explode as the group of people talked back and forth. Due to the loss of a large number of elite troops in the war, all major departments had lost their superiors or subordinates, and the management was chaotic. There was no regular order for who should report first.
He only heard about the casualties of the war and learned that the death toll was as high as tens of millions, so he decided to put all the blame on Lu.
"...Go ask the deputy city lord! He will handle it for me!" Su Mingan said.
"The deputy city lord went to the City of God in the early morning. City lord, regarding the reward for the Beacon Army..." a general spoke.
"What about Sen? Where are he?" Su Ming'an frowned.
"The commander has gone to deal with the legion. Most of the soldiers are still at the front and have not returned. City Lord..."
Su Mingan was annoyed by the noisy sound: "Where's Noah?"
"The commander-in-chief is also in the army..." said another general, and blocked Su Mingan's next sentence: "Commander-in-chief Kakelement is not in the city either..."
"Su Lin!" Su Ming'an shouted, "Where's Su Lin!"
The crowd fell silent instantly.
They looked at each other, and five seconds later, a voice came from outside the window: "I heard it."
"Creaky—" The window on the 4th floor was opened out of thin air, and a figure floated in the air.
"Commander." Several generals in the army saluted and greeted him.
Su Lin said, "You can leave now."
"But..." People suddenly became anxious. If they left, who would they ask?
"Noah just came back, go find him." Su Lin glanced at the others: "Don't force me to chase him away."
Su Lin's reputation of beating his own men at every turn was well known in the army. Several generals looked at each other and retreated. Then, some politicians and scholars who had no fighting ability turned around and left, fearing that they would be caught and beaten by Su Lin.
"Why didn't you call me when you ran out of energy?" Su Lin looked at Su Mingan.
"I saw you on the rooftop. You were on the front lines. You can't be called in that situation."
"Oh." Su Lin stood beside him for a while.
"Su Mingan, let me go out for a walk with you." Su Lin suddenly said, "It's time to rest now."
Su Mingan looked at the camp contribution value he had clicked, which was a good opportunity to exchange it for some items.
"Okay." Su Mingan covered his bruised arms and got out of bed.
They went downstairs and walked to the inner city. Due to Su Lin's intimidation, the excited people did not dare to approach Su Mingan. They just looked at him from afar, greeting him and taking pictures.
"City Lord! Happy Fuyuan Festival!" A general's little daughter leaned against the car window and waved at him, her young face full of smiles. Her general father smiled, revealing his body with a broken arm.
Su Ming'an nodded to them. Trucks passed by him one after another. Every returning soldier saluted him. Most of them were wrapped in snow-white bandages and looked dusty.
"City Lord, Happy Fortune Festival!"
"City Lord, I wish you good health!"
Various blessings floated past my ears like the wind, and the colorful silk strings rustled. The whole city was sleeping in the vast snow, which contrasted with the red sun in the sky, forming a red and white oil painting.
Without constant artillery fire and drones spying in the sky, peace is more precious than anything else.
Su Mingan walked slowly on the heavily guarded streets of the inner city and did not step into the bustling outer city, otherwise the enthusiastic residents might overwhelm him.
He felt extremely relaxed. The exhaustion of the past fourteen days suddenly paid off, and he was only one step away from success. He reached out and opened the system interface. His territory panel displayed the battle damage ratio and resource loss.
However, the moment he stretched out his hand, with a "snap" sound, Su Lin's hand firmly grasped his wrist.
"...What do you want to see?" Su Lin stared at him closely, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
