Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Before leaving, I couldn't help but look back at this ancient relic.

To be honest, this relic seems to have existed for a long time, and it is filled with an ancient and timeless atmosphere.

As for who built such a magnificent place, he had no idea, but he had no interest in finding out. So, he left the place without looking back.

"Well, according to the plan carefully formulated by the Boss of the Gods, my first task is to firmly guard the border area between the human race and the demon race after the upcoming war between humans and demons begins, so as to prevent the demon race from taking advantage of the situation and launching a surprise attack." While moving forward quickly, he kept sorting out the subsequent action plan in his mind.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to rush back to Huangyun City and report the matter to City Lord Shangguan, asking him to quickly plan a response strategy and make proper deployments and arrangements.

Carrying such a heavy responsibility, he mounted a horse as fast as the wind, and his figure was like lightning, galloping towards the distant Huangyun City.

"I really hope this fierce battle can end soon!" He thought to himself as he galloped on his horse anxiously, "I hope I don't encounter those terrifying high-level monsters on my way back."

After all, with his current strength, he might not be sure of defeating even a mid-level monster.

Although he was extremely anxious, he did not slow down at all, because he knew that he had to race against time to return to Huangyun City. At this moment, his other companions might have successfully completed their mission.

Along the way, we did encounter some magical beasts blocking the way, but fortunately they were all low-level magical beasts with very weak strength.

However, at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to these minions. He only wanted to speed up as much as he could and reach Huangyun City as soon as possible.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he could see the towering walls of Huangyun City in the distance.

Fortunately, at this time, a large number of human troops had not yet been mobilized here, and the entire city still presented a scene of tranquility and peace.

"Huh... Fortunately, the army hasn't been transferred here yet, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos would happen here." He thought to himself, feeling relieved.

After taking a deep breath, he did not dare to delay for even a moment and continued on his hurried journey on his horse.

Not long after, the tall and heavy city gate came into view.

When the guards at the door saw that it was me, they quickly made way without even saying a few words.

He also did not say much, because every minute and every second was crucial at this moment. He had to rush to City Lord Shangguan and report the matter to him as soon as possible.

After traveling quickly all the way, we finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Fortunately, although there were many pedestrians on the road, everyone was busy with their own things and didn't care about anything else. They all took the initiative to avoid the road.

These simple people are not stupid. If they see someone riding a horse and don't actively avoid it but rush forward, they are seeking death.

In this way, he rushed into the city lord's mansion without any hindrance and ran straight to the conference room.

At this time, City Lord Shangguan was sitting with a few people, concentrating on discussing various affairs in the city.

When he caught sight of me rushing in so hastily, a hint of surprise and confusion crossed his face, and he asked, "Lord Zhan Huang, didn't you go to the capital? Why are you back so soon? And you look so anxious. Did something major happen?"

He had no time to care about etiquette. He rushed to the front of Shangguan City Lord in a panic and said breathlessly, "Shangguan City Lord! After I finished the general meeting in the capital, they are now preparing to launch the human-demon war. His Majesty and the Lord God have already declared war."

After hearing his own words, Shangguan Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Alas... Actually, given the current situation, I can at least make a rough estimate."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask incredulously, "What? You can actually predict the future? How on earth did you guess this situation?"

Shangguan Lingyun's expression remained calm as he replied bluntly, "Following the fierce battle with the demon general a few days ago, I have given this some careful private consideration. In my opinion, your hasty return to the capital is most likely to discuss with the court officials how to respond to the war between humans and demons."

"I see!" He nodded in sudden realization, then stared at Shangguan Lingyun with a serious expression and asked, "Then, in your opinion, if this war between humans and demons really breaks out in full swing, what kind of strategic measures should we adopt?"

Shangguan Lingyun calmly put his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly on the spot.

After a while, he paused and confidently analyzed, "Although our Huangyun City's military strength isn't particularly strong, its geographical location is unique—the mountains are steep and the terrain is complex, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Therefore, the top priority is to further strengthen the city walls and other defensive fortifications. At the same time, we should urgently recruit all able-bodied young men in the city and organize rigorous military training to strengthen our reserve military resources."

After listening to this, he nodded slightly thoughtfully, indicating that he agreed with what Shangguan Lingyun said. After all, there was no guarantee that this place would not be attacked by the demons and the army's retreat would not be cut off.

After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Well, that makes sense. However, there's another crucial issue that needs to be carefully considered, and that's material support. After all, once war breaks out, the loss of both rations and weapons and equipment will be staggering. Do you have any good strategies for dealing with this?"

"That's what I'm worried about," Shangguan Lingyun frowned. "The granaries in the city are still adequately stocked, but the weapons in the armory are mostly damaged and outdated. We need to speed up the forging of new weapons."

"Alright, then, let's do as you say!" I said with a serious expression. "Ever since the Human-Demon War began, we've been located right on the frontier between the two races. It won't be long before the war breaks out nearby. However, it's not just the Demons we need to be wary of. We also need to be wary of the elusive and ferocious Demonic Beasts. We never know when they might suddenly attack us."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Based on the current timeline, a large number of our human army will be passing through here soon. The various expenses needed on the front lines, such as those vital weapons and equipment, life-sustaining food supplies, and morale-boosting military pay, and other strategic materials, all rely on us to properly store and transport them here."

At this time, Shangguan Lingyun looked at him seriously and said, "Yes, sir, you are absolutely right. So, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

After a moment's thought, I replied with a determined look, "How about this? All matters in the city, big or small, will be entrusted to you. I, on the other hand, intend to lead a detachment of elite soldiers stationed outside the city, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times, closely monitoring the actions of the Warcraft tribe."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lingyun immediately clasped his fists in salute and responded solemnly, "Please rest assured, sir. Leave all matters in the city to me. I'm sure nothing will go wrong."
