"What's everyone afraid of! It's just the Brahma Demon King!" After Lu Feng explained the situation to everyone, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense. Wei Du stepped forward and raised his arm, saying, "No matter how powerful he is, he was still thoroughly repelled by our united efforts back then. And let's not forget, at that time, the Brahma Demon King was severely injured by the Scorching Cold Strike! He may not even have reached his full strength now. While our Nanhua City may not compare to the Four Major Sects, we are still one of the nineteen major cities of the divine race! Not only do we have the bravest warriors, but we also have a defensive formation designed by the Great Divine Powers themselves. Moreover, once news spreads that the Brahma Demon King has reached Nanhua City, several Major Sects will surely come to our aid. We don't need to defeat the Brahma Demon King; we just need to hold on for a few days. In that case, we still have a chance!"
"Exactly! Mr. Wei's words resonate with me!"
After hearing Wei Du's analysis, everyone regained their spirits. Except for Elder Yu and a couple of other cautious individuals, many of the younger leaders and military personnel echoed calls for battle, dispelling the earlier gloom.
Wang Long smiled wryly, understanding that this was not genuine enthusiasm but rather a form of self-comfort through downplaying the power of the Brahma Demon King.
Lu Feng understood this as well, but at that moment, she could not shatter their morale. Facing such a legendary and terrifying figure, instilling a deep-seated belief in victory among them was akin to seeking fish in a tree.
"Not only that," Lu Feng waved her hand to calm everyone's excitement, "While we are concerned that the Brahma Demon King might target Nanhua City, we cannot deny that their analysis has merit. Perhaps they intend to strike directly at Sky City; in that case, Nanhua City would merely serve as a diversionary battlefield, which would lessen our pressure."
"However, I must remind Lord of the City not to be complacent. After all, our defenses in Nanhua City cannot rely on the assumption that the Demon Clan will focus their attention elsewhere. Victory only favors those who are prepared!" Ying De Cai, who had been silent until now, furrowed his brow and cautioned the already relieved crowd.
"Indeed," Lu Feng nodded in agreement with Ying De Cai's statement. "According to reports from Boss and other merchants' associations, there have been multiple incidents of merchant caravans suddenly going missing in the direction of nearby villages. Moreover, the first reconnaissance team sent out has yet to return. This situation cannot be ignored. Furthermore, given that the Demon Clan is inherently violent and cunning, we must remain vigilant even if we are merely on the defensive side. Everyone must cooperate with the City Guard to defend our city; even if it comes down to every last soldier, we will ensure that we take down some Demon Clan bodies with us!"
In the following time, Lu Feng made arrangements as the Lord of Nanhua City. Elder Yu was responsible for administrative matters and directed all resources and manpower towards war efforts while warning all incoming and outgoing merchant caravans regarding potential dangers. The military command was entrusted to Old Yuyue Mountain. He was the oldest general in Nanhua City; although he hadn't participated in the last war between gods and demons, he had experienced several defense battles and expansion conflicts for Nanhua City. His strength made him Lu Feng's top general; even some elder-level experts felt intimidated in his presence.
Wei Du was tasked with integrating surrounding villages and managing external intelligence networks. This arrangement struck him hard as he had initially hoped to seize this opportunity for personal advancement. Meanwhile, Ying De Cai had previously agreed to assist from a sideline position but now seemed unwilling to mention his own utilization during this meeting. Frustrated, Wang Long shot him several glances without any effect.
In contrast, although Yu Yaoran had failed to manage his own family affairs this time around and received fewer tasks with less power assigned to him, he was well-prepared for it. What pleased him even more was that Wang Long had become Lu Feng's exclusive guest official; clearly there were no barriers between them now. While he couldn't directly call on Wang Long whenever he wanted like before, at least they appeared capable of becoming good allies. This way, his own strength remained sufficient to intimidate any dissenters within his family.
"Mr. Wang Long has just joined us in Nanhua City and is unfamiliar with many matters. Therefore, I will directly assign an elite squad under your command for this period. You can guide them so they can become warriors who can cooperate with you while also familiarizing yourself with our defenses and terrain."
Among the crowd, only the most trusted Mount Yuezhen and Elder Yu did not show envious expressions. It was not because Wang Long had gained any power, but rather because Lu Feng's "considerate" attitude towards him indicated her regard for Wang Long.
In other words, if Wang Long performed well in this battle and later decided to stay in Nanhua City, he would undoubtedly become a significant figure in the future!
Wang Long himself was a bit surprised; their first meeting had not been particularly friendly, so why had her attitude towards him changed so drastically now?
However, it seemed to be a positive change. Wang Long quickly replied, "In that case, why not let the friends I brought from Alin Village and Fire Village join my team as well? It would prevent them from getting bored and encountering certain dangers."
"Of course," Lu Feng hesitated slightly. She knew the strength of the warriors from those ordinary villages; they were far inferior to the warriors of Nanhua City. However, Wang Long's strength was evident, and even if problems arose, she believed he could handle them.
At this moment, she was unaware that Wang Long had made special enhancements for Ying Sang and others. Now, not to mention the strongest Ying Sang, even the two little ones, A-Yun and Little Tiger, could almost match the average warriors of Nanhua City.
Satisfied with the response, Wang Long did not try to steal the spotlight from others. He quietly sat aside, watching how various individuals in the splendid Lord's Mansion were scheming against each other.
"There's one more thing." Just as everyone was clarifying their responsibilities, Yu Yaoran suddenly stood up. "Given the recent upheaval in the divine clan, doesn't that mean many experts from various divine sects have infiltrated our Nanhua City to observe the situation and possibly stir up trouble? For instance, today I encountered an attack from Nin Tian. With his status and his sect's mysterious nature, how could he conveniently appear in Nanhua City at this time?"
"I'm not very clear about this either," Lu Feng's response stunned everyone. They had thought that since these individuals dared to intrude into Nanhua City, it must have been with her tacit approval. Coupled with the appearance of the Doomsday Horn, it seemed even more reasonable. But they did not expect that they had secretly sneaked into Nanhua City!
What did that imply?
Yu Yaoran's expression suddenly changed: "So you're saying that our current situation in Nanhua City is insufficient to contain what Nin Tian is doing?"
What a joke! Now there was a traitorous brother providing all sorts of conveniences to that madman. More importantly, his subordinates, including Yu Bing, were not strong enough to withstand this madman's attacks. With Wang Long now free again, even their ironclad duo could no longer be relied upon. Did that mean he wouldn't dare step out of the Yu Family from today onward?
"Don't worry," Lu Feng knew exactly what he was concerned about. He cast a dissatisfied glance at the cowering Yucheng beside him. "I will issue a stern warning to Nin Tian through special channels. At least until we repel this invasion from the Demon Clan, he must not lay a hand on anyone from Nanhua City. Otherwise, he and his Sect will become public enemies of Nanhua City! This should make him more restrained, but the closer we get to victory, the more cautious you need to be."
Yu Yaoran reluctantly expressed satisfaction with Lu Feng's arrangements. The closer they got to victory, the more merit they would generally earn! His mood was understandable.
In fact, the notorious expert who had infiltrated Nanhua City was not just Nin Tian alone. Lu Feng himself was not entirely clear about their purpose for coming; he could only use a combination of appeasement, communication, and pressure to ensure they did not cause any trouble during this period.
Finally, Lu Feng announced the meeting was adjourned but kept Wang Long behind.
Feeling the gaze of everyone else, Wang Long could only follow with a wry smile.
The others gradually left the hall.
Wei Du, filled with disappointment, had long wanted to confront the untrustworthy Ying De Cai. However, when he turned around, he found Ying De Cai staring at the Yu Family brothers and their loyal Household Guards leaving the hall. A sinister and smug smile slowly appeared on his face!
For some reason, after seeing that smile, Wei Du no longer felt any desire to confront him.
That smile was simply too terrifying!
