Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 49 County Magistrate
After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lu Ming was a formidable figure.

He even wiped out Moyun Village. People in the nearby villages tremble at the mere mention of his name.

The abbot of Baiyun Temple narrowed his eyes, then glanced at Black King Kong and shouted, "Attack together!"

Then he lunged forward.

They knew that Lu Ming would never let them go.

Therefore, the only option at this point is to fight with all our might.

As he charged forward, Black King Kong also moved, swinging his staff and creating a fierce gust of wind.

The two approached Lu Ming from the left and right.

"Be careful, sir!" Wang Han shouted and stepped forward.

However, Lu Ming stopped him.

He stood in the darkness, his armor emitting a faint glow.

Bathed in moonlight, he appeared aloof and domineering.

As the two opponents arrived, he swung his long sword fiercely.

At the same time, he stepped out to the side, avoiding the shadow of the staff and the edge of the sword.

The sharp, long blade flashed.

It emitted an astonishing whistling sound.

Then, the abbot of Baiyun Temple had his head cut off.

Lu Ming didn't stop moving, and then swept out a kick.

The armor made a crackling sound as it collided with the air.

Then it landed on Black King Kong's muscular body.

"boom!"

That kick was so fast that it even left an afterimage.

Black King Kong's towering figure was actually kicked away.

It rolled many times after landing before stopping.

Then there was no more breath.

He was actually kicked to death by Lu Ming.

Upon seeing this scene, the people from both villages immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

However, how could Lu Ming's men possibly let them go?

The Mo Dao soldiers advanced with all their might.

With armor, they became even more ferocious in battle.

They were simply lined up, brandishing their swords.

The limbs and internal organs of those bandits flew everywhere.

Screams and cries of terror echoed throughout the battlefield.

The other soldiers, at some unknown time, circled around to the back and blocked the bandits' path into the town.

Keep harvesting forward.

The battle became almost one-sided.

The people of Black Mountain Town, witnessing the scene unfolding before them, finally realized just how powerful their captain truly was.

Their eyes showed fear, but also some relief. They were glad that they were civilians under Lu Ming's control and not bandits, otherwise they would have been scared to death.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the sky turned white, the battle was over.

Lu Ming glanced at the battlefield, which was littered with limbs and broken bodies.

It must be said that the fighting methods of the Mo Dao soldiers are truly terrifying.

"My lord, all the bandits have been killed. We have thirty-two lightly wounded!" Wang Han walked over, covered in blood, his armor adorned with bits of flesh, and his entire body soaked in blood.

At this moment, there was still heat rising from above.

"Not bad, can you still kill someone now?" Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, the rising sun shining on him, making him seem to be glowing with golden light.

This made Wang Han's heart skip a beat.

I almost collapsed to my knees.

"As long as you give the order, we will do our utmost!"

"Alright, then take a thousand men and head to Kulong Mountain now to wipe out the bandits and bring back all the supplies!" Lu Ming said calmly.

With a single, casual remark, the fate of the entire village was sealed.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Han withdrew after receiving the order. Lu Ming then turned his gaze to Zheng Yong, "Take a thousand men to Baiyun Temple, leave no bandits alive, and bring back the supplies."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zheng Yong accepted the order and left.

A moment later, only Lu Ming and a thousand Mo Dao soldiers remained in the arena.

At this moment, the head of the Sun family, who had been hiding in the town, also cautiously came out.

Actually, he wanted to come up and help last night.

But in the end, they found that they didn't need to do it at all.

If he goes up there, he'll only get in the way.

The battle is over now.
Naturally, he had to come out and pay his respects to Lu Ming.

As soon as they arrived in front of the other party, the head of the Sun family knelt down on the ground with a "thump".

They did not mind the filth on the ground.

"This humble servant, Sun Defu, greets Your Excellency!"

Looking at him kneeling on the ground.

Lu Ming lowered his gaze slightly, emanating an aura of power that made the local tyrant tremble all over.

"You've done a good job cleaning up the battlefield."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he turned around, mounted his horse, and headed towards Fenglei County.

The Mo Dao soldiers followed closely behind.

Sun Defu breathed a sigh of relief when they completely disappeared outside of Heishan Town.

The sense of oppression emanating from Lu Ming was truly overwhelming.

It is so powerful that it makes people's hearts pound.

Then, he turned around and looked at the people in the town, saying, "You sons of bitches, aren't you going to come out and clean up? Are you expecting me to clean up myself?!"

As he shouted that out...

The townspeople all rushed out.

Grabbing brooms and dustpans, they began cleaning up the battlefield.

At that very moment, outside Fenglei County, a middle-aged man dressed in scholar's robes was slowly approaching, accompanied by several men with long knives at their waists.

"My lord, I've heard that the Commandant of the Cloud Banner has some connections. When Fenglei County was first established, the garrison general didn't even recommend setting up a county government. Now that you've come out of seclusion and told the prefect you want to come here, will the Commandant of the Cloud Banner make things difficult for you?"

"A servant beside the middle-aged man said cautiously."

He genuinely did not recommend that his husband return to work this time.

The court's politics are too muddy now.

The slightest carelessness could backfire. You have been living in seclusion for so many years, and you did not take up an official post even when the Prime Minister personally invited you.

He couldn't understand why he was now serving as a minor county magistrate.

“Our Great Yu is originally a society where civil officials assist military generals. I’m not going to compete with him for power, so why make things difficult for me?”

I remember when I was penniless, I almost starved to death when I passed through Fenglei Town. It was the people here who gave me food. How could I not repay such a kindness? A few nights ago, I observed the celestial phenomena and predicted a severe drought next year. If we don't take measures in advance, I don't know how many people in Fenglei County will die next year.

The middle-aged man sighed.

A hint of worry appeared in his eyes; things might get chaotic next year.

Actually, there was one more thing he didn't say: Lu Ming was just a military general, and in his opinion, he didn't know how to lead the people to have food in such a difficult time.

The servant standing to the side nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Then, continue following the document forward.

However, at this very moment, Lu Ming also returned to his residence with his men.

I just got back and the rice in the pot was already cooked.

The meat chunks were stewed until very tender.

Paired with snow-white steamed buns, it's truly mouthwatering.

When the soldiers started lining up to get their meals.

Lu Ming has already returned to the inner quarters.

Li Xirou was busy cooking, and he didn't disturb her.

After changing out of his armor, he went into the training room to see how many points he had earned.

I feel that this time the gains will be substantial.
