Dark clouds gather over the city.
Depression enveloped the entire Jiangcheng.
The news that the provincial governor and Marshal Xu were leading 3,000 guards to attack spread throughout the city.
"Run! I heard the new city lord has offended the provincial governor and Marshal Xu. The two bosses are furious and it seems they want to massacre the city!"
"Massacre in the city is a bit exaggerated. The Anti-Demon Army is here to protect us. How could they possibly attack us?"
"Who knows? The whole city is in turmoil right now, and all kinds of news are spreading like wildfire. Anyway, I'm going to hide in my fourth uncle's family's aunt's house in the countryside."
“…”
Urban Party Committee Office.
A female secretary rushed in in a panic.
"Assistant Cheng, run! The governor and Marshal Xu are coming to kill us. They're on their way now. If we don't run now, it will be too late!"
Cheng Siyu frowned slightly and asked, "Who told you this?"
The female secretary said, "This news has spread throughout Jiangcheng. It is said that they not only want to kill City Lord Ye, but also massacre the entire city.
People outside are in a panic now, and even most of our Jiangcheng officials have fled."
"What nonsense!"
Cheng Siyu stood up and said coldly, "It's obvious that someone is deliberately fanning the flames and making rumors to cause trouble."
"No matter what, it's true that the Marshal and the Provincial Governor are coming to the City Lord to call him to account, and they're about to kill us!" the female secretary said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Siyu looked at the female secretary and said, "You immediately notify the TV stations and news media, and use various media outlets to reassure the residents. I will notify the city defense forces to increase their vigilance and send people to the Demon Cave to report to the City Lord..."
"Go by yourself if you want to go. I have to leave. I don't want to stay in this place for a moment longer."
Having said that, the female secretary ran out in a panic.
"you……"
Seeing this, Cheng Siyu gritted her teeth and patted her face to calm herself down.
"Mr. Ye has been very kind to me, I must not let him down!"
An eighth-rank expert, three thousand guards...
For an ordinary person like her, this kind of power is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Although Cheng Siyu's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, she still began to sort out each department in an orderly manner.
He summoned the remaining officials of the City Committee, and while comforting the residents, he notified Xia Dong to deploy city defenses.
Jiangcheng, headquarters of the city defense army.
Xia Dong urgently summoned tens of thousands of city defense troops to gather and return to their units.
Whether they are on vacation, sick, or performing remote tasks, they will all be recalled.
After a communicator collected information from each team, he ran up to Xia Dong, saluted, and stood still.
"Report to Adjutant Xia, all 13,908 city defense troops have returned to their formation and assembled. Please give your instructions!"
"very good!"
Xia Dong's eyes were firm as he glanced at every soldier below.
"You are all great, you didn't bring shame to our Anti-Demon Army!
There's news that Marshal Xu is leading 3,000 elite guards and is charging towards us. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Are you afraid?"
“Don’t be afraid!!”
The sound shook the sky.
Xia Dong added, "The disparity in strength between us is enormous this time, and we are brothers. If anyone wants to withdraw now, please do so immediately. I, Xia Dong, will never stop you, nor will I blame you."
There was complete silence below, and all the soldiers stood straight, not one moving a step.
"Let's be frank. This battle is for our city lord!"
Xia Donghu's eyes widened as he continued, "Everyone has seen that since our city lord, Captain Ye Chen, took office, he has not only eradicated the 'big rats', but has also tripled our salaries and given us an extra half month of vacation each year..."
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army and a single day to deploy it. Now is the time for us to serve...to protect the city lord!"
"Protect the city lord!"
"Protect the city lord!!"
…
Songjiang No. 1 Middle School, principal's office.
Chen Mingwu looked at the three principals of Wu High School around him and said solemnly:
"I, Chen Mingwu, have never asked anyone for help in my life. Today, I beg you three to help me..."
"Stop talking, Old Chen."
Su Jianguo, principal of the Municipal Experimental Military High School, said, "Since the three of us are here, it shows our attitude. Ye Chen is your student, and also our student. How can we stand idly by?"
"Old Su is right."
The other two principals also said: "Ye Chen is worthy of being an outstanding talent cultivated by our Jiangcheng. Although he has just taken office, he has completely changed the official atmosphere of the entire Jiangcheng."
"Yes, before, after so many deductions, there was almost nothing left in the hands of us educators. Now, the welfare benefits of each of our schools have been greatly improved compared to the past. I believe that in the near future, more outstanding students will emerge in our Jiangcheng!
If we don't support this kind of city lord, who will? "
Chen Mingwu remained silent and bowed solemnly to the three people.
When the three of them came downstairs and prepared to rush to the front line.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, the four principals were all stunned.
The huge playground was filled with people: teachers, students, elderly people, and reporters...
They carried flags and slogans, which were full of respect for Ye Chen and condemnation of the provincial governor and the commander-in-chief.
Chen Mingwu opened his mouth in astonishment and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Principal, we will go to the front line with you!"
"Yes, let's see what the provincial governor and the commander-in-chief can do to us!"
"Even though I can't beat them, I still want to protest!"
"At worst, just kill us all. The Anti-Demon Army is the people's army, not a tool for some powerful people to oppress the weak!"
"Our reporters have started a live broadcast to let everyone see their ugly faces!"
“…”
On the highway from Chuncheng to Jiangcheng.
Trucks were speeding along one after another, each filled with anti-demon soldiers.
In a high-end car at the head, the provincial governor Jia Zheng and the commander-in-chief Xu Xiong sat in the back seat.
Luo Fei, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, answered a call and turned around to ask for instructions, "Provincial Lord, I heard that quite a few people in Jiangcheng have spontaneously organized themselves and threatened to fight against us, and have even started a live broadcast online..."
“This is outrageous!”
Jia Zheng cursed angrily and ordered, "Have the technical department cut off their live broadcast signal. I want Jiangcheng to become a completely isolated city!
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Luo Fei quickly conveyed the order.
Xu Xiong, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown and asked hesitantly, "Why does Ye Chen have such a great influence in Jiangcheng?"
"Who knows..."
Jia Zheng sneered, "It's just some troublemakers stirring up trouble. Just kill a bunch of them and they'll stop."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiong frowned even deeper, and his tone turned cold as he said, "Provincial Lord Jia, I'm cooperating with you to cause trouble for Ye Chen. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Killing innocent people is not my style!"
