Alas? But I don't want to leave."

The young woman sitting in the wooden house having breakfast, wearing wrinkled gray pajamas, her short hair was blocking her face in messy manner, holding an apple halfway through her hands, her eyes full of confusion:

"Where can we go after leaving Yanfeng City?"

"But we must leave quickly!" The man who was packing things was already wearing light leather armor, tied up the luggage that he needed to take, and turned his head to look at the recurve bow placed in the corner of the room.

The young couple are both local residents of Yanfeng City. But now, they are leaving their hometowns and heading to other countries.

News of the young master being killed by bandits has spread throughout Yanfeng City. With the young master's death, many residents of Yanfeng City have also fallen into panic.

Even if the young master is a useless man, as long as he is still alive, he can shock other nearby territories.

But now, Yanfeng City has lost its ruler, and this state of headless dragons will definitely attract the attention of other nearby lords.

While the new lord has not yet taken office, the nearby lords may launch an attack directly. At that time, Yanfeng City will undoubtedly immediately fall into war.

"Hurry up, stop eating!"

The man walked to the wooden table in annoyance, reached out and grabbed his girlfriend's wrist, dragged her away from the table, and half of the apple in his mouth fell to the ground.

"It hurts so much..." The girl stared at him with dissatisfaction with wide eyes.

"If you don't leave, the enemy will come!" the man said loudly.

"You're thinking too much, General Qin is still here." The girl said dissatisfiedly: "The enemy dares not attack!"

"The lord is dead, General Qin is nothing!" The man said and increased his strength again.

His plan was to escape to Zhanhen City next to Yanfeng City. A distant relative of his side was in Zhanhen City, where he could arrange a refuge.

As long as you hide there and slowly learn the language of Zhanhen City, you will be able to integrate into that territory one day.

Although it is very uncomfortable to leave your hometown, at least you can survive...

While the two inside the house were arguing, they heard the neighbors' voices on the street outside the house:

"Have you heard that? The new lord has taken office!"

"Ah? So fast?"

"It is said that it is going to the square in the center of the city at noon. The new lord will give a speech. Don't you go and see it?"

"If we have a new lord, we can feel at ease..."

When they heard the chat outside, the two people who were about to fight in the house stopped moving.

"Look, I said it's okay!" The girl whose wrist was clenched red shouted in anger: "There is already a new lord, and we don't need to leave the house!"

"But I'm still not relieved..." The young man lowered his head and looked at the wooden floor beneath his feet.

In fact, he was unwilling to leave his hometown, and the reason he chose to leave was because of the situation.

However, even after learning about the new lord, his self-esteem as a "male" still made him hesitate for a moment:

"I still feel like it's time to leave."

"Let's go and have a look?" The girl stared at his eyes seriously, with sincerity in her eyes: "Let's go and see what the new lord looks like first, and then decide whether to leave, okay?"

Facing his girlfriend's proposal, the young man thought for a while, finally nodded and put down the luggage in his left hand:

"Okay, let's see what the new lord has."

...

At noon, the scorching sun hangs high in the middle of the sky, casting a dazzling bright light.

The circular square in the center of Yanfeng City is crowded with people, and a large number of residents have squeezed the square out of reach.

The reason why they appeared here was naturally to see the new lord. The residents were still full of expectations for the new lord of Yanfeng City.

After all, no matter how stupid and incompetent he is, he should be much more reliable than the "young master" who just received the bento.

The previous young master had reached the lower limit of the ruler, causing most of the residents in the city to complain.

This huge square was originally built in a crater and was at the lowest altitude in Yanfeng City. It was surrounded by step-shaped buildings, making the place look like the Colosseum of ancient Rome.

In the center of the circular square, there is also a cylindrical platform. When lords or officials announce major events, they usually appear here. When there is no major event, there will occasionally be famous artists or actors performing here.

At this time, a large number of soldiers from the Yanfeng Army's formation regiment had surrounded the high platform in the center of the square, blocking the masses in the front, and at the forefront of the steps behind the platform, opening up a narrow passage.

The onlookers present did not know that other soldiers from the camp regiment were now helping the poor to cultivate fields outside the city.

However, at this time, no one paid attention to the situation of the "Poverty Belt in Huanyan Fengcheng". Everyone present was waiting for the new lord to appear:

"Do you think you're a handsome prince?" A girl standing behind the crowd excitedly said to her companion: "Maybe she will choose a concubine. Don't compete with me then!"

"Are you stupid?" Another woman wearing a black hood next to the girl, her voice was filled with undisguised contempt: "Didn't the last 'prince' just passed away? Where can the old lord have other descendants?"

"Shh, don't talk about this, we will be beheaded!" The girl who spoke before hurriedly covered her companion's mouth.

Listening to the speechless conversation behind him, a bald middle-aged man standing in front whispered to himself: "It must be General Qin who ascended the throne?"

"I also support General Qin to take office." The stranger beside him nodded repeatedly: "General Qin can best inherit the old lord's tradition of bravery and good fighting."

"But it's unlikely? Maybe someone who has a blood relationship with the old lord took office." The man with a scar on his face in front commented: "The old lord's blood will not be cut off from here."

"Let's see..."

While everyone was talking, a dark figure appeared on the stage. The tall General Qin stood in the center of the stage. The crowd below immediately burst into deafening cheers.

"Quiet!"

General Qin suddenly burst out with a deafening roar, shocking the masses below. Realizing that these people seemed to have misunderstood something, General Qin took a step back and said loudly:

"The new Lord Lord is about to arrive, and I will swear to be loyal to that Lord. From today on, everyone present will also become the people of that Lord."

When they learned that the Trust Lord was not General Qin, the onlookers present began to discuss again:

"Can it be the fat pig of the Chancellor of the Exchequer?"

"No, that person will definitely become a tyrant..."

"I guess it should be an engineering master, that man is quite handsome!"

"Why are you still thinking about handsome guys? Don't be crazy, okay?"

Listening to the noisy discussion, surrounded by the guard members, a man who was once the "Young Master" of Yanfeng City slowly walked up the steps to the high platform.

Because of his short figure, Lin Chi could not see the situation under the high platform. The onlookers below could not see the new lord. After gaining a foothold in the center of the high platform, Lin Chi said to Shen Wenchong who was standing beside him: "Distract."

The members of the guard immediately dispersed and gave up the position in the center of the platform. The new ruler of Yanfeng City finally appeared in front of everyone:

"Another child?"

Seeing the short figure standing on the high platform, the residents of Yanfeng City immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by the "Salted Fish Young Master".

However, the child who appeared this time had a completely different aura from the previous young master, and he was more like a small general:

The lord was wearing a set of silver light armor, covered with scars, the red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, and an ordinary-shaped short sword hung around his waist.

The crowd tried hard to see the fresh lord's appearance, but the child had a heavy iron mask on his face, and his face was completely covered by a dark brown mask, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.

"This kind of mask... seems to be a prisoner in the dungeon..." A onlooker who had worked in Yanfeng City prison opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

He once encountered death row prisoners with the same mask in the depths of the dungeon. It seemed that only prisoners who had to hide their identities for special reasons would be worn with such helmets.

But, how could the lord wear such a thing on his face?

While he was still wondering, a crisp young voice had already sounded under the lord's mask:

"Hello everyone, I am the new lord of Yanfeng City."

Lin Chi lowered his head and looked around at the dark crowd below. As expected, the people all had doubts on their faces, and many people seemed very frustrated.

It seems that the "young master" he played has caused more harm to the residents of Yanfeng City than he thought.

However, that kind of thing is no longer important.

Now I am no longer the "dead" young master, but start again and appear again as a brand new identity!

"I know, you still have some doubts about me, thinking that I might not be a qualified ruler like the previous lord."

Speaking of this, Lin Chi cleared his throat: "I can understand your mentality and will not defend myself. After all, I am not old and may still be lacking in many aspects."

"But I will use my own actions to win your trust. I promise that the entire Yanfeng City will be renewed. I will revitalize this declining territory and make Yanfeng City the richest and most developed area on this continent."

"If I can't do this..." Lin Chi said, stepping forward and standing next to General Qin: "At that time, General, you can directly take my position."

As soon as these words came out, the guards present stared at the young master in surprise, and the onlookers in the audience were all stunned.

Faced with the request of the "new lord", General Qin leaned over and half-kneeled, and expressed his attitude in front of the lord:

"Please don't say such words, Yanfeng Army will always obey Lord Lord."

"This is not a request, but an order." Lin Chi's voice fell: "I will dedicate everything I have to this land until I 'exit' forever."

His words were extremely simple and did not have the various erotic styles that officials often had. But they still impressed the people in the audience.

Regardless of whether it was a scene or not, the new lord would at least show his attitude to the residents, rather than locking himself in the palace and ignoring political affairs and allowing Yanfeng City to decline continuously.

Seeing the attitude of the new lord, the attitudes of the residents who had been somewhat suspicious before finally began to change:

"Come on..."
To be continued...
