Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

They completed the task of blowing up the main building and assassinating the county magistrate, but before they had time to completely evacuate or destroy all the evidence, they were blocked by Wei Zhong's men in this place of death!

"Form a formation! These are the Liu family's assassins! Kill them all!"

The captain's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed forward with his sword raised!

Inside the ruins of the County Magistrate's Mansion, a silent but even more sinister and dangerous fight took place again!

Short blades against long spears, poisonous stingers and hidden arrows against armor and sharp blades.

Every collision sends up sparks, and every success is accompanied by the whisper of death.

The Nine Snake Guards fought to the death, risking their lives with every move, trying to complete the final destruction for their master.

From time to time, soldiers fell to the ground wailing from poisoning, and from time to time, black figures were pierced by spears and nailed to the wall.

When the last of the Nine Snake Guards was nailed to the charred pillar by several spears.

When the mask fell off, revealing a young but scarred and lifeless face.

Under the cover of the chaos, the captain found the entrance to a relatively intact secret room with a partition wall deep in the ruins of the main building.

The half body of County Magistrate Huang who was being protected was found!

The secret room was severely affected by the explosion, and the body was almost smashed in two by the falling boulders.

His face was completely unrecognizable, but his official robe and the seal around his waist were still there.

It undoubtedly proved his identity.

As for the head, it had obviously been cut off and sent away!

"Damn it!"

The captain spat angrily.

"The person is dead, but his head is still missing!"

"How am I going to get through this? Let's quickly find out if there's anything else."

He glanced across the messy secret room.

Noticed an iron cabinet with a corner blown open and things scattered on the ground.

Seeing the file with obvious signs of being flipped, I was immediately delighted.

"Quick! Take away all the documents and secret letters you can find! Don't leave any behind! We can't stay here any longer, retreat!"

Unlike the immense wealth of the Liu Mansion and the viciousness and bloodiness of the County Magistrate's Mansion, the battle in the granary in the south of the city came quickly and ended even faster.

There wasn't much resistance or struggle, which was something no one expected.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If you think about it carefully, they had already made all the preparations early on.

Liu Yueli's arrangement of support and instigation played a decisive role.

The granary garrison included a large number of low-level soldiers who were resentful of the county governor and the Liu family, as well as civilians who were temporarily forcibly conscripted.

As soon as the crazy order for Liu's private soldiers to burn the warehouse was issued.

These people had already been secretly connected, and the traitors who were instigated turned against them at the critical moment!

They played an extremely crucial role. If it weren't for their help, the losses would have been very huge.

But with their help.

The gate seemed to be useless and was quickly breached.

"We can't burn the grain! It's the lifeblood of the people in this city!"

"Kill the Liu family's dog! Protect the granary!"

I don't know who started the attack first.

A stick hit the back of the head of a private soldier who was about to light the kindling.

Suddenly, there was an uproar and chaos at the granary gate!

The guards started killing each other!

A team of elite soldiers from the Ever-Victorious Army, who had been well prepared, took the opportunity to break open the door and plunged into the melee crowd like a sharp knife, targeting the core members who attempted to set fire.

Wang Heizi, the private army leader who led the attack on the granary, was a bandit.

Seeing that things were hopeless, he glared at me and grabbed a spear.

With a strange cry, he rushed towards the nearest pile of grain bags, trying to pierce the burlap bags with his spear.

"Pfft!"

A crossbow bolt flew in from the side and pierced his throat with incredible precision! The force was so great that he stumbled back two steps and fell on his back, with madness and astonishment still in his eyes.

Not far away, Widow Wang put down the crossbow that was still smoking. There was no mercy on her face, only cold determination.

"Anyone who dares to touch the military rations will be killed without mercy!"

After several serious battles, she is now one of the female guard leaders of the Ever-Victorious Army.

The resistance in the granary quickly collapsed with the death of the leader.

With the joint efforts of the able-bodied men in the city's slums and the victorious soldiers and civilians, the small number of diehard private soldiers who attempted to burn the warehouse were quickly killed or beaten to death by the angry people.

The rest of those who followed the wind knelt down in surrender.

The huge granary was safe and sound, and the mountains of grain inside gave off a soothing aroma of cereals.

More and more people gathered around, their faces filled with fear and fatigue.

But when he saw the mountains of grain bags safe and sound, his eyes lit up with a light of survival and an indescribable excitement.

An old man with gray hair and a cane walked out of the crowd tremblingly, bowed deeply to the Ever-Victorious Army soldiers standing guard with knives, tears streaming down his face:

"Soldiers, the soldiers have saved the food! They have saved their lives! God has mercy on us!"

His cry was like lighting a fuse.

The long-suppressed gratitude and hope among the crowd erupted like a volcano!

"Thank you, Master Jun!"

"The Ever-Victorious Army! It was the Ever-Victorious Army that saved our food!"

"My benefactor!"

Excited voices rose one after another, and many people even knelt down.

This is a heartfelt gratitude.

This huge victory of winning the granary and the hearts of the people is even more significant than that mountain of gold!

Changbai Mountain stands at the commanding heights of the city wall.

It was originally located on the watchtower of the county magistrate's mansion.

At this moment, the area was firmly under Wei Zhong's control and had been handed over to the Ever-Victorious Army. The noise and flames outside the city gradually subsided.

But sporadic fighting continued in the city. It was Wei Zhong's army clearing out the Liu family's last stronghold.

Search for the remaining assassins.

At his feet, the crowd was gathering again in the Wengcheng Square.

It is no longer a panic-stricken and chaotic exodus of refugees, but is driven by a completely new, restless and hopeful force.

A large number of young and strong men, under the guidance and organization of the Ever-Victorious Army soldiers, were clearing the rubble and corpses from the streets.

Some women carefully brought bags of rice and buckets of water from the granary.

Start to cook thick porridge soup.

The fragrance spread far away and aroused the appetite of many people.

There were also some former government army prisoners who were being held by Wei Zhong's troops, watching all this with complicated expressions.

Wei Zhong himself was currently walking up the bluestone steps with several core generals.

Step by step he ascended to the position that represented the highest power in the county.

He looked up at the young figure standing at the highest point with his back to him and a knife in hand.

The firelight outlined the solid contours of Changbai Mountain. The tip of the heavy saber pointed downward, deeply inserted into the cracks of the blue bricks under the feet, like a banner piercing the old era and firmly rooted there.

Wei Zhong felt complicated, feeling relieved that his pledge of allegiance was half successful.

Parts of the county magistrate's body were found, but we also had to face the huge unknowns brought about by this rising upstart.

He took a deep breath and stood three steps behind Chang Baishan.

He clasped his fists and said solemnly:

"General Chang! The Liu clan's lair has been destroyed. County Magistrate Huang was murdered by Liu's assassins! His remains have been found in the secret room of the main building! The remnants of the Liu clan in the city are being eliminated!"

He paused, raised his voice, and assured some key figures gathered in the square downstairs.

Such as the prominent gentry and merchant representatives in the city, as well as the backbone of the Ever-Victorious Army.

I can vaguely hear it.
