After Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, the five squad leaders gathered their soldiers and left the courtyard in an orderly manner. Liu Guanfeng was the last to leave the courtyard, and as he walked down the street, he couldn't help but smile. There wasn't a single patrolling soldier in sight on the entire avenue.
With such guards, it was impossible for him to hide; even walking openly went unnoticed.
Liu Guanfeng and his fifty Special Forces members swaggered toward the North Gate. Upon reaching the North Gate, according to Liu Guanfeng's instructions, several squad leaders took their men and hid in their respective positions.
Liu Guanfeng hid next to the Fifth Squad Leader, and now all that was left was to wait for his people to arrive.
"Big Black, can you hear me?"
"Xiaofeng, I received your message. What's going on?"
"I have everything ready on my end. When will you arrive at the North Gate?"
"We'll be there shortly; I can already vaguely see Autumn City."
"Senior Brother, tell Pei Family Father and Son to speed up. We're about to open the gate for them to come in directly."
"If we speed up, won't we be noticed by the people in the city?" Little Black retorted.
"Don't worry; all the officials in the city have already been killed by us. The only ones left are some Squad Leaders and the like; they won't cause us any trouble."
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so thorough. Alright, I'll tell them to pick up the pace."
After finishing his conversation with Liu Guanfeng, Little Black approached Pei Langhai: "Pei Langhai, Xiaofeng just told me to let you know to speed up. They're about to open the gate."
At this moment, Pei Langhai, sitting on his mount, was taken aback: "If we speed up, won't we be spotted by those on the city wall? What is Liu Guanfeng up to?"
"He's not up to anything; there's simply nothing left."
"What do you mean?"
"Xiaofeng said that he and the Special Forces members have killed all the officials in Autumn City. The only high-ranking official left is someone like the Squad Leader."
"Is that true? They only have about fifty people, and they managed to kill all the officials?"
"Believe it or not, you can go in and see for yourself. And let me tell you, if anything happens to Xiaofeng because you're slow, I won't spare you."
"If they've really killed everyone, why wouldn't I go in? Someone, relay the order to the troops behind us to speed up. Don't worry about being discovered; just charge ahead."
The Messenger shouted back, "The Vice Leader has issued an order: advance!"
At this point, a figure rushed from the back of the line; it was Pei Langhai's Father, the former Vice Leader. He approached Pei Langhai and asked why they were advancing. Pei Langhai explained everything to his father, who was very pleased to hear it.
Before they set out, Zhang Yuru had already instructed the Pei Family Father and Son that upon reaching Autumn City, they were to follow Liu Guanfeng's arrangements. He was already inside Autumn City.
Although they were unsure of Liu Guanfeng's abilities, they knew that when the young lady seized the position of Leader, it was due to special training provided by Liu Guanfeng. This training allowed her to achieve an unexpected victory and become the Big Leader, which spoke volumes. Even if Liu Guanfeng's skills weren't exceptional, they couldn't be too lacking.
Thus, the Pei Family Father and Son urged their mounts towards the North Gate of Autumn City.
Inside the city, after finishing a call with Little Black, Liu Guanfeng began preparing to take the gate.
Liu Guanfeng said to the nearby Fifth Squad Leader, "Now it's up to your team's performance. There are five soldiers guarding the gate; go in, deal with them, and open the gate. Our people are already outside and on their way here."
The leader of the Fifth Class nodded at Liu Guanfeng, then jumped out, followed closely by his soldiers. The leader peeked into the gate and saw that all five soldiers inside were asleep. He signaled his soldiers, and they all entered through the gate.
After a series of sounds resembling blades cutting through flesh, a strong smell of blood wafted from within the gate. The entire process was executed cleanly and efficiently without any unnecessary noise.
After seeing that the city gate had been occupied, twenty soldiers from the First and Second Classes quietly slipped to the sides of the stairs next to the gate to hide their figures.
At this moment, the warriors of the Fifth Class had dealt with all the City Gate Guards and removed the massive bolt, pushing open the two giant iron doors with all their strength. The gates creaked loudly as they opened.
In the stillness of the night, this sound was particularly jarring. Just as a gap was opened in the gate, someone shouted from above, "What is happening down there? Why are you opening the main gate? Do you not know what time it is? Who opened the door?"
The members of the Fifth Class were focused on opening the gate and did not respond to the shouts from above.
Meanwhile, those on the city tower were becoming anxious because they not only heard the sound of the gate moving but also faintly detected distant sounds of running and shouting.
"Who are those down there? It could be an Enemy Attack! Someone, come quickly! They are opening the city gate!" The shouts from the tower echoed far and wide.
At this point, all the officers and soldiers on the North City Wall were alerted, totaling just over thirty individuals. These thirty quickly gathered under the leadership of their Squad Leader.
The Squad Leader shouted to his men, "There are people opening the gate below! Split into two groups and go down the stairs to eliminate all enemy forces in the gate tower and close it. Otherwise, we will all lose our heads. Brothers, charge!"
With that, the Squad Leader swung his Greatsword and rushed down the stairs, followed closely by his soldiers.
The soldiers on the tower were eager to close the gate to prevent a surprise attack from enemies and did not notice that a group of people was waiting for them at the side of the stairs. Additionally, since those on the wall descended in two groups, each side had only about ten individuals coming down.
As these people stepped off the stairs, they were immediately met with a flurry of blades and screams. Soon, all thirty or so individuals who had come down from the wall were completely slaughtered. At this point, there were no defenders left at the North Gate of Autumn City.
The earlier shouts from atop the wall and screams from those descending echoed far away, alarming patrol soldiers on the streets. The Patrol Captain decisively ordered someone to return to inform either the General or Minor General about what had happened while he led a team of Patrol Soldiers to provide assistance. However, as they reached the street corner, they were blocked.
Seeing that fighting had already broken out at the street corner, Liu Guanfeng ordered that those from both First and Second Classes who had dealt with the soldiers on the wall should guard there to ensure their own men could safely enter the city.
At this moment, the main gate had been fully opened by members of the Fifth Class. Liu Guanfeng then arranged for Fifth Class soldiers to assist in holding off reinforcements at the street corner. He remained alone at the city gate, tasked with waiting for his comrades' arrival.
The shouting at the street corner gradually diminished until it disappeared entirely. Liu Guanfeng stood alone at the gate watching the battle in the street, feeling very satisfied with these fifty soldiers. He never expected that within less than a year, they would grow to such an extent—both their stealth skills and combat abilities had improved significantly.
Soon, under the leadership of Little Black, Pei Family Father and Son, along with their twenty-five thousand soldiers from the New World, entered Autumn City.
Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng, Pei Family Father and Son jumped off their Mounts and clasped their fists towards Liu Guanfeng, saying, "Liu Brother, you have worked hard."
"You two have traveled a long way; it is you who have worked hard."
"Liu Brother, you flatter us. If it weren't for you here, we wouldn't have been able to take Autumn City so smoothly."
"I just wanted to reduce the bloodshed; otherwise, the common people would suffer the most when war breaks out."
"Regardless, we still need to thank Liu Brother."
"You should head to the City Lord's Mansion now and take over all of Autumn City. All the officials in Autumn City have been killed by us, and there should still be about twenty thousand troops left. See if you can take them in."
Pei Family Father and Son clasped their fists towards Liu Guanfeng, saying, "We are grateful for your kindness; we will go accept the troops now."
"Be careful with everything; I won't stay here much longer."
"Liu Brother, are you preparing to leave?"
"I have finished what I needed to do; the rest is up to you. Besides, I need to head to Summer City early to check on the situation."
"Alright then, Liu Brother, we won't keep you any longer. Please take care."
"There is still an Advanced Knight in this city who was originally the bodyguard of the former city lord. We didn't find an opportunity to deal with him when we attacked, so you should be extra cautious."
Pei Family Father and Son laughed heartily: "Liu Brother, don't worry. Even if there were two Advanced Knights, we are confident that we can handle them. You can rest assured."
"Then I will take my leave."
"Take care."
After the three bid farewell to each other, Liu Guanfeng mounted Little Black and headed towards his next target, Summer City. If Summer City were to fall, it would be the last stronghold of the Empire. Liu Guanfeng's overseas trial would conclude once the capital was conquered.
In Autumn City, Pei Family Father and Son led their twenty-five thousand troops along with fifty-one Special Forces Members from within the city to the military garrison located near the East City Gate. At this moment, the entire camp was in chaos as the soldiers of Autumn City searched for their Minor Generals or higher-ranking officers, only to find that the highest-ranking individual in the camp was merely a Squad Leader.
Several Minor Generals had gone missing, and even the soldiers sent to find the general returned with a devastating report: the general and his Consort Three were found dead in bed.
All the soldiers in the Barracks were in disarray, like headless flies. Just as they were in turmoil, Pei Family Father and Son arrived with their army, surrounding the two thousand soldiers stationed there with their twenty-five thousand troops.
The two had originally been recruiting soldiers around Winter City and were quite adept at integrating new recruits. Surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, the troops from Autumn City laid down their weapons and squatted in the center of the camp.
Pei Family Father and Son immediately began ideological education for these twenty thousand soldiers, promising that those who wished to serve in the New World would be welcomed, while those who did not want to fight would be released to return home in the morning.
As a result, out of the twenty thousand soldiers from Autumn City, fifteen thousand chose to continue serving in the New World army, while five thousand were released back home in the morning.
Inside the Lord's Mansion, an Advanced Knight was defeated in a duel against Pei Langhai's father and was taken in as Pei Langhai's personal guard. Meanwhile, Pei Langhai and his father officially occupied Autumn City, replacing the original flag on the city walls with that of the New World, announcing to all that Autumn City had changed hands.
Within less than a month after Winter City fell, Autumn City was also declared conquered by the New World. This news spread rapidly like wings across various regions.
This announcement dealt a significant blow to the reinforcements besieging Winter City, especially as soldiers from Autumn City began to worry about their homes, losing their will to continue fighting.
