“Master, there is something important.”
The woman jumped down from the white wolf.
“Xiangxiang, come here!”
The old man, holding a pipe, beckoned her.
“Yes!”
The woman named Xiangxiang quickly approached the old man, sat on the grass beside him, took out a file from her clothes, and handed it to him.
The old man opened the file.
Inside were documents and photographs.
“Not bad!”
The old man smiled at the woman in the photo.
“Master, look at the contents!”
Xiangxiang reminded him with some helplessness.
“Mm!”
The old man agreed, glanced at the photo a couple more times, and then seriously read the contents of the document. A few minutes later, he put down the document, looked at the sky, and murmured, “It’s time!”
“Master, let’s go home!”
“No, I want to tend to the sheep.”
“You don’t need to do such things.”
“I’m happy to.”
“Alright!”
After a brief exchange, Xiangxiang reluctantly stood up. She jumped onto her white wolf, glared resentfully at the old man a few times, and finally left with a hint of anger in her expression.
After Xiangxiang left.
The old man quietly smoked.
When he finished smoking a pouch of tobacco, he took out a satellite phone from his cloth bag. In this setting, the satellite phone was extremely out of place with the old man’s attire.
Not long after.
The old man dialed a very long number.
The call was connected.
But there was no one speaking on the other end?
“It’s time, thank you for your trouble.”
The old man uttered only these eight words.
He put away the phone.
Then he patted the hindquarters of the big black wolf.
Sunset Country border…
About two hundred kilometers from Sun City, at a military camp, outside a large tent, an officer led a group of generals towards the recently arrived convoy.
The convoy hadn’t even come to a complete stop.
The door of the middle car opened.
Ye Zixiao, dressed in casual clothes, jumped out of the car and strode forward. The officers immediately stepped forward, tidied their uniforms, stood at attention, and saluted Ye Zixiao sternly.
“Commander!”
The officers shouted in unison.
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”
Ye Zixiao raised his hand in return.
“Commander, it’s been a long time!”
“Uncle Zheng, I hope you are well!”
“Hahaha.”
Zheng Tianhong burst into hearty laughter.
Yes.
This military camp housed three hundred thousand troops. Upon receiving Ye Zixiao’s orders, Zheng Tianhong, the first commander of the Hungry Wolf Legion, had gathered the scattered troops from all over the world in the shortest possible time.
Inside the main command tent.
Ye Zixiao sat in the head seat.
He took a look around and found that besides Zheng Tianhong and Hu Lai, most were unfamiliar faces. Many officers were young, full of vigor, and looked very formidable.
“Everyone!”
Ye Zixiao spoke steadily, “From today onwards, the Hungry Wolf Legion will be temporarily renamed the First Protectorate Army. We are going to war, we are going to attack Sun City, and we are going to liberate Sunset Country.”
“Commander!”
Hu Lai suddenly stood up, patting his chest, “My Hu Lai’s army is willing to be the vanguard. I guarantee we will enter Sun City within twelve hours. Rest assured, your wife will be perfectly fine.”
“Commander, I wish to be the vanguard.”
“Commander, my Ninth Division volunteers for service and requests to be at the very front. We want to enter Sun City for the people of Dragon Country. I am also willing to lead from the front to rescue Madam as soon as possible.”
“Commander, give us the order!”
All the officers stood up and shouted.
Their blood was boiling, and their spirits were soaring.
“Good!”
Ye Zixiao was very excited.
He paused and said loudly, “This offensive is for two reasons only. First, to avenge the deep hatred for our country and our people. Second, to safely rescue my wife, Ye Zixiao’s wife.”
Ye Zixiao was very direct.
The officers also understood.
Although this mercenary legion was not founded by his Ye family, it now completely belonged to Ye Zixiao. Wherever the commander-in-chief wanted to go, the soldiers would just fight and never ask why.
“Everyone.”
Ye Zixiao said again, “The Dragon Country Protectorate Office will provide one hundred billion for military expenses. The Dragon Country General Chamber of Commerce will fund our army with another hundred billion. The Lin family of Beihai City will contribute fifty billion, and the Beihai City Chamber of Commerce will contribute fifty billion.”
“Three hundred billion?!”
“That’s a lot, really a lot!”
“Is the Lin family that rich?”
“They must have emptied their coffers!”
The young officers whispered amongst themselves.
They marveled at Ye Zixiao’s grand gesture.
The Hungry Wolf Legion was already very wealthy, which was why they could equip world-class weapons. Now, because Ye Zixiao was going to attack Sun City, he had managed to secure three hundred billion in one go, and the army’s equipment would be elevated to a new level.
Using three hundred billion to break down the gates of Sun City, what an exorbitant price!
But Ye Zixiao didn’t even blink.
“Everyone, that’s all I have to say. I don’t understand military strategy, nor do I understand warfare. Therefore, the specific combat deployment will be handled by Commander Zheng Tianhong. Commander Zheng will serve as the overall commander of this campaign.”
After speaking, Ye Zixiao looked at Zheng Tianhong.
Zheng Tianhong nodded in approval.
If Ye Zixiao were to personally command, Zheng Tianhong would have found it difficult, and the subordinate officers would not have been convinced. A commander who didn’t understand warfare leading a war was a major taboo in military affairs.
But now.
Ye Zixiao was nominally the commander-in-chief, but he acted solely as the boss. He only clarified the combat objectives and was responsible for securing funds, leaving the professional matters to the most professional person.
At that moment.
The officers smiled and nodded.
They were all very satisfied with this new boss.
Sunset Country.
Sun City…
In the sleeping quarters of the National Teacher Hei Mang, Lin Qingzhu was tied to the bed. She was still wearing her own clothes. No matter how the National Teacher’s subordinates attacked, she would rather die than wear the clothes of Sunset Country.
“Everyone, get out!”
National Teacher Hei Mang walked into the sleeping quarters.
All the servants left.
“You’d better not touch me.”
Lin Qingzhu said with a cold expression.
“I’m going to have my way with you tonight.”
The National Teacher, in a very lewd manner, began to undress.
“If you dare touch me, I will die.”
“Don’t be like that, look at me properly.”
Hei Mang, stripped to the waist, walked to the bedside with a smarmy grin. He was no longer young, but he was covered in lean muscle and scars, looking quite terrifying.
“Get away from me!”
Lin Qingzhu roared.
“Hehehehe!”
Hei Mang let out a wicked chuckle and continued, “Don’t I look a lot like Ye Zixiao? Why don’t you just pretend I’m him? You’re already married, it would be such a shame to die before the wedding night!”
Saying that.
Hei Mang extended his wicked claws.
“Get away, ahhhh!”
Lin Qingzhu screamed in rage.
Outside the closed bedroom door.
The two rows of bodyguards frowned.
Everyone in the royal palace knew that the National Teacher Hei Mang was a pervert, and different women were tormented by him almost daily. Over time, the bodyguards had grown to hate this beast.
“Damn it!”
“This old man is so lucky!”
“Lin Qingzhu is truly beautiful!”
“What a pity!”
Some bodyguards whispered quietly.
The commotion inside the sleeping quarters grew louder, but Lin Qingzhu’s cries became weaker. In the end, only her muffled sounds could be heard from outside the door, clearly indicating that Hei Mang had gagged her mouth.
If she couldn't bite her tongue.
She couldn’t die.
If she couldn’t die but couldn’t resist.
She wouldn’t be able to escape his clutches.
Gradually…
The sounds from the sleeping quarters became unbearable!
“I’m going to have a smoke.”
Among the bodyguards, a captain greeted them and walked towards the smoking room in the distance. Once inside and the door closed, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message, just two words – It’s done!
On the highest floor of the palace.
In the King’s sleeping quarters.
A blonde, blue-eyed beauty deleted the message and, while undressing, walked into the dimly lit large bathroom. In the bathroom, there was only the King of Sunset.
