After Tongxuan met up with Commander Lang in Xiaojuan City, the army began to march towards Nanhe City. Along the way, many more powerful slave race members joined them. These powerful members who were able to survive in the border area between the two races were all formidable fighters among the slave race.
Commander Lang simply organized them into a separate team and handed it over to Tongxuan for command. He ordered Tongxuan to lead this team, which consisted entirely of powerful individuals, to attack Nanhe City, while he himself led the main army to bypass Nanhe City and launch a surprise attack on Haochuan City.
Preliminary reconnaissance revealed that the garrison in Nanhe City was weak. This area was originally the territory of the Xie clan, who were almost wiped out in the last great battle with the Yi clan. Later, they were designated as slaves by their clan and had long been expelled from Nanhe City.
Therefore, the main species of Nanhe City is still undecided, and its defense relies entirely on the support of Tianchao City.
After Langren came to power, all the main clans within the tribe were vying for the territory left behind by the superior clans in the past. No one of the main clans was willing to move to Nanhe City to serve as a barrier for the tribe to defend against the Yi clan.
Therefore, apart from the small number of garrison troops sent by Tianchao City, Shangnanhe City had no local inhabitants and its strength was extremely weak, unlike Haochuan City, which was originally the territory of the Zhizhong people.
The Zhizhong were a superior race in the past, and after Lang Ren came to power, he still designated them as the main race of the Yellow Clan. This race has always been powerful, so Haochuan City will definitely be an extremely tough nut to crack on Lang Ren's road to advancement.
As Lang Shuai had predicted, just as he and his men had rounded Nanhe City, the messenger Fu Zhong Da Neng brought news that the band of barbarian soldiers guarding Nanhe City had surrendered.
Those guys probably didn't even have many powerful figures. When they encountered a team full of powerful figures, they had no choice but to surrender. After Tongxuan recaptured Nanhe City, he organized the surrendered barbarians into a separate team. At the same time, in accordance with Commander Lang's wishes, he left all the surviving Xie people to rebuild their homes.
Hearing that Nanhecheng had been returned to Xie Zhong, who was almost completely gone, everyone felt even more energetic. They felt that their hometown was within reach, and that their happy life was already within reach.
"I had a toilet built in the backyard, but it's not finished yet. I wonder how it is now?"
"Damn it, I bet all my savings on that Prism sightseeing helicopter, and now I don't know which bastard has it in my hands?"
"The stereo system at my house was specially bought from the Shu ethnic group by a friend. I didn't take it with me when we fled because it was in the way. I don't know if it's still there?"
...
Amidst the lively discussions, the procession surged forward like a tide, engulfing the fields, villages, and buildings between Nanhe City and Haochuan City. The area had changed considerably since Wang Yao's arrival with Lady Lian; many traces of the carnage had been erased.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that, just like before, this place is still completely empty, as if all traces have been buried by time.
Commander Lang gave the order that the exiles who originally lived here could leave the team and go home. However, very few left. The desolation of their homeland gradually silenced the team. They just silently ran forward, and Haochuan City was already in sight.
The city of Haochuan was peaceful and serene under the sunlight, as if it had no idea that a great battle was about to break out. How well Wang Yao's previous marriage had turned out would be put to the test here.
Of course, Wang Yao himself was not worried at all, because he had already received all the merits related to the marriage rewards.
The tenth-tier Seed Master, Thousand Threads Old Monster, was forced into a marriage with the fifth-tier Dream Seed Master, Li Xiangyang, by Wang Yao. The Dream Seed was designated as a slave by Lang Ren. This Master Li Xiangyang was also unlucky. He was originally a steward in the imperial city of Tianchao City, specifically responsible for the city's nighttime lighting.
He didn't have much work, but he still had some minor power. However, unexpectedly, a major change occurred within the clan, and he went from being a minor official in the inner court to a slave. He was taken by the Thousand Silk Old Monster to be his servant, specifically to provide light for the Thousand Silk Old Monster when he got up at night.
If the marriage arranged by Wang Yao takes effect, the Thousand Threads Old Monster will have reservations about Lang Ren's current clan policy, and Lang Shuai will have room for negotiation with him. Only after taking Haochuan City will the entire Huang Clan truly be wide open, and only then will Lang Shuai have a slight advantage.
The group arrived at the main road leading directly to Haochuan City. The gate tower that read "Welcome to Zhanghuang Granary, Three Rivers Fertile Fields, Rich Haochuan" was already faintly visible. Commander Lang waved his fist to signal the group to stop.
The long line of vehicles that Wang Yao had seen in front of the gate last time was gone. The area under the gate was empty and there was nothing there. Only many wispy things were flying in the wind on the gate, which made the atmosphere even more desolate. It was as if Haochuan City had been abandoned by the Huang tribe.
Commander Lang waved his hand, signaling Pang Zhen, Tong Xuan, and other powerful figures who were accompanying him to gather around him.
"I will go there alone in a moment. After I have walked a hundred meters away, lead all the mud-seed powerhouses into Haochuan City from underground and wait near Haochuan Ward in the center of the city," Lang Shuai said to Pang Zhen.
"Once you hear my signal, charge out immediately. Haochuanfang controls the key roads in Haochuan City. All reinforcements must pass through Haochuanfang. Don't worry about the flying troops. Just guard the ground and don't let any ground reinforcements pass through. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" Pang Zhen shouted, then carefully put Wang Yao down.
"Lord Yue Lao, I must go to battle," Pang Zhen whispered to Wang Yao.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine," Wang Yao, who had been sitting on his shoulder, quickly reassured him.
"I understand." Pang Zhen nodded. Great beings can usually fly. If Commander Lang ordered these mud-seed great beings to intercept ground reinforcements, then the chances of encountering enemy great beings would be much smaller, and the risk factor would indeed be relatively low. However, it also depends on the strength of the opponent.
