I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

Zhang Wei led three frightened king's heralds and passed through the south of Zhang Xiaodan's stronghold without encountering any goblins, ghouls or vampires. Therefore, the three king's heralds, who were suspicious of each other, did not know that they had already passed by the gates of hell.

When they arrived at the foot of the Corno Fortress, the chief officer came to the city wall after hearing the news. He still relied on the fact that he and the army he led were directly under the king, and did not even let Zhang Wei in through the gate.

"You three serve as witnesses." Zhang Wei said, and flashed directly to the city wall. He grabbed the chief officer by the neck, hung him outside the city wall, and asked sternly: "I will give you two choices. One is to get into the fortress prison and wait for the king's judgment. The other is to free fall and die."

The chief officer grabbed Zhang Wei's wrists with both hands and kicked him wildly.

Zhang Weiqiang ordered the fortress to open its gates, allowing the three king's heralds to enter the fortress and reach the city wall.

After the three king's heralds came to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei threw the chief officer onto the city wall like trash and yelled, "Go to jail and wait for the king's decision."

“Cough, cough, cough,” the chief officer coughed painfully. He stood up with difficulty with the help of two soldiers. He did not turn around to go to the prison. Instead, he pointed at Zhang Wei and shouted angrily: “Rebellion! Rebellion! Kill these traitors!”

"Who dares?" The captain took out his ID card, held it high and said, "We are the king's heralds. Who dares to touch us? Are you planning to rebel?"

"Fuck you, what a shitty messenger!" The chief officer drew out the sword of the soldier beside him and stepped forward to chop the squad leader.

The next second, the chief officer flew down from the city wall with the soldier's sword in his hand and was smashed into a pulp.

"Where is the adjutant?!" After Zhang Wei kicked the chief officer away, he asked the adjutant to come forward.

"Submit, submit, I'm here, I'm here." The adjutant was a little panicked. The chief officer with the highest combat power in the fortress was killed instantly by Zhang Wei. What use was he, an adjutant, to do?

"You will temporarily take over the position of the chief officer. Although he is an idiot, he is still an officer of the kingdom. Tell them to collect the bodies and keep them safe while waiting for the king's decision. Also, call up the troops. I need to lead them north to attack the enemy. If you dare to slack off and cause the war in the north to spread or Jinhou Town to be lost, you will be held equally responsible!"

"Yes, yes, your Excellency." The adjutant panicked even more. He had no idea what had happened. Where did the enemy from the north come from? Was it because Lionheart Castle was lost and the Empire had moved south? Or was it as rumored before, that someone wanted to assassinate the Duke of Lionheart and then take advantage of the chaos to stir up unrest in the north?

After the adjutant had selected the troops, he thought that he, as the acting chief, would be forced by Zhang Wei to go into battle together. However, he did not expect that Zhang Wei would only take away one-third of the troops, leaving two-thirds for the adjutant to defend the fortress.

It would be difficult for the army to move along the original route, and Zhang Wei couldn't kill everyone, as that would be self-incrimination. He could only lead his army north to Newt City, and then attack the town of Wynn from Newt City to the east.

Zhang Wei still felt a little uncomfortable fighting against himself or using the kingdom's army to fight his own private army, but now things were pushing him to do it, and he was just acting according to the logic of a normal person.

When the army arrived at Newt, the mayor was shocked. Because the king considered the local forces, neither the Korno Fortress nor Newt City had a local lord. The mayor, like the chief officer of the fortress, was appointed by the king.

When the city lord heard that a large army was coming from the direction of the fortress, he quickly sent someone to inquire about the situation. When he learned that it was Zhang Wei who led the army northward, the city lord thought that Lionheart Fort was lost and Zhang Wei was ordered to go north to resist the enemy.

"This..." When the city lord heard that Zhang Wei was leading a large army to attack the town of Huai'en to the east, he felt that Zhang Wei was making a big fuss.

"Do you think I'm making a big deal out of nothing, sir?" Zhang Wei asked.

"No, no, I just have something to say. Since we are all subjects of His Majesty the King, I have to say it." The city lord was trying to curry favor again.

Zhang Wei gladly accepted it. He couldn't tell whether the city lord was the king's man or the Duke of White Tiger's man.

"Whether it's the army of this fortress or the army of Newt City, they are all the private army of His Majesty the King. Even if something happens in the town of Wynn and the town of Jinhou falls, there are still the cities of Tiplano and Antiphis, and the Duke of Lionheart is there. You are using the private army of His Majesty the King to clean up the mess for the Duke of Lionheart, isn't that..."

The city lord didn't say anything else.

The first word that Zhang Wei thought of was "dirty politics."

However, Zhang Wei had to admit that what the city lord said actually made sense.

Therefore, after Zhang Wei bid farewell to the city lord, he summoned the heralds of the three kings and asked them what they thought about this matter.

After all, none of the three people wanted to go to the battlefield and risk their lives with Zhang Wei, so they all agreed that what the city lord said made sense, and the safest situation was to get the approval of His Majesty the King and then mobilize the army eastward.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to send a messenger south to the royal capital to report, and at the same time ordered the army to station troops in the south of Newt City.

Seeing that Zhang Wei listened to the advice, the city lord took the initiative to take on the responsibility of supplying the army's military supplies.

Many days later, the messengers of the kings who had separated from each other came all the way to the army’s camp.

Although the king's order they conveyed was to let Zhang Wei act at his convenience, the city lord once again used Zhang Wei's unauthorized killing of the fortress chief as an excuse to advise Zhang Wei to act prudently and not make the same mistake again.

Zhang Wei was not surprised at all that the city lord knew that he had killed the chief officer of the fortress. The army had been stationed for such a long time, and if the city lord still didn't know what had happened, Zhang Wei would look down on him.

Many days later, the messenger sent to the royal capital returned, and the message he brought back was from the king, which was a curse directed at Zhang Wei.

The reason why the king was so angry was that since Zhang Wei had already seized power, he should have quickly settled the situation in Huai'en Town. However, Zhang Wei actually listened to slander and stood still, which led to the fall of Jinhou Town!

"Jinhou Town is gone???" Zhang Wei was shocked. He didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

"My lord, not only Jinhou Town is gone, but Tiprano City is also in crisis. More than half of Tiprano City's troops had already headed north to Jinhou Town. After Jinhou Town was captured, although many people fled back to Tiprano City, the defeated soldiers and refugees were in very bad condition. Even Viscount Jinhou was mentally ill. No one could explain what happened!"

After conveying the king's oral order, the herald told Zhang Wei all the news he had received.

After listening to this, Zhang Wei was silent for a long time.

"My lord, I still have to depose the city lord. His Majesty the King has appointed you as the acting city lord of Newt City. His Majesty's requirements are very clear. Newt City, Corno Fortress and Xinna Port, the three territories without nobles, must not be lost. My lord, you must make plans early!" After the herald finished speaking, he hurried into the city to convey the king's order.
