Chapter 576: Conquering Cities and Lands

After the paper man general finished speaking, his huge face disappeared, replaced by an hourglass formed by dark clouds and lightning.

The lightning in the hourglass was slowly falling from a high place, indicating that time was constantly passing. When all the lightning in the hourglass flowed to the bottom, it would be the time for the paper man army to attack!

The face of the city lord on the city wall became even uglier, and the other people around him all looked at him, with deep malice in their eyes.

Because they were also officials, if the city was breached, they would die without a burial place!

Feeling the eyes from his former subordinates, the city lord wanted to muster up the courage to say a few words to boost his spirit, but he couldn't say anything after the words reached his throat.

The enemy's army was just outside the city, and any general could change the celestial phenomena in an instant, which meant that the enemy's strength was at least at the level of fierceness and cunning. Only this level of cunning monks could do this.

If there was only one enemy like this, it wouldn't be scary, but the scary thing was that the enemy obviously had more than one general, and even the soldiers under his command gave people a very dangerous feeling!

If you choose to resist them, how long can you resist, and how much will it cost?

If you fail, not only your life and property will be in danger, but also everyone including your relatives will be doomed!

"Alas~"

After a long silence, when most people around him were obviously about to lose their temper, the city lord let out a long sigh, and then helplessly said to the general guarding the city: "Open the city gate!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the city lord say this, the hearts of the others fell instantly, and even felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

The feeling of relief as if they had survived a disaster made it impossible for them to muster up the courage to choose to fight against the army outside the city.

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"

Soon, under the command of the general guarding the city, the heavy city gate was slowly opened by the soldiers. At this moment, the afterglow of the doomsday shone on the top of the city, but everyone had the illusion that the world was about to change.

"General Ping Kou, you lead a 2,000-man army into the city!"

"Take down the city wall, take over the city, count the population, and confiscate public property!"

Seeing the city gate slowly opening, the paper marshal immediately waved his hand and issued an order at the same time. The other party was so tactful that they saved them from wasting time here.

However, things that should be done must be done well. Taking over the city is a must, and taking over all the affairs in the city is also a must. As for what to do next, Lin Feng will arrange it.

"Yes, order!"

Soon, a paper general led 2,000 paper soldiers to leave the military formation and enter Jiangcheng. As this army entered the city, many people became nervous again.

Although the other party had said before that they would not kill people indiscriminately as long as they surrendered, no one could guarantee that these soldiers would not suddenly regret it.

So when this army entered the city, many people were paying attention to their movements openly and secretly.

Ordinary people can only see that they are well-equipped, tall, and full of murderous aura. Just looking at them makes people terrified, and there is an illusion that they may be beheaded at any time.

However, in the eyes of the strange monks or people who know the business, it is a completely different matter, because they found that these two thousand soldiers were all made by special means!

And the strength of each soldier made them feel a little dangerous, which is enough to show that the origin of these strange soldiers is absolutely extraordinary. At least ordinary sects do not have the ability to mass-produce so many strange soldiers with such strength.

After discovering this, they felt fortunate and recalled the words of the general before. This army seemed to belong to the command of the King of Yuling...

Due to the strength of the paper man army, the process of taking over the entire Jiangcheng was extremely smooth. In less than half an hour, the important positions of the entire Jiangcheng were guarded by paper man soldiers.

Then the progress of the paper man general in cleaning up the public property and various intelligence in the city was also quite smooth. After all, the city lord and others did not dare to refuse his request at this point.

Two hours later, most of the important materials in the city had been taken under the control of the paper man army, so that the lifeline of the entire Jiangcheng was completely mastered.

After completing this task, the paper army outside the city directly broke camp and continued to march towards the next city. If they wanted to completely capture the entire state capital within a few days, they would not have so much time to waste in one city.

The next day, Lin Feng received information from the paper army. They had completely occupied more than half of the cities in the entire state capital, and the remaining half was already in their pockets. They only needed one more day to completely capture it.

Lin Feng did not feel the slightest bit of surprise about this result, or it could be said that this was a result that had been destined long ago.

But compared to occupying the city, the next management is the real trouble.

Directly appointing the original officials is undoubtedly the stupidest choice. It is better to let the paper army conduct militarized management than to let the original officials continue to manage without any foundation of the people. At least this will not cause hidden dangers and chaos.

Of course, it is definitely not a good idea to let the paper army manage in the long run. After all, everyone has their own expertise, and how the people are governed still needs to be managed by civil officials.

"Hong, Bai, go back and ask Shuzhuangui to find a way to make a group of paper figures of civil servants who are good at handling various official duties, and then directly arrange them in various cities, and let these civil servants temporarily take over the various miscellaneous affairs in the city."

After a little thought, Lin Feng called the Twin Ghosts and arranged it. For him, paper figurines were too useful. Now that he didn't have enough manpower, it was a good choice to use paper figurines instead.

"Yes, Master!"

The Twin Ghosts did not ask any more questions and immediately went to execute. It was just to make a batch of civil servant paper figurines that did not require much combat power. In fact, it did not take much effort.

"After taking down the state capital, the next step is to take down other surrounding areas until the entire Zhao State is finally taken down."

"But I'm afraid it won't be so smooth next. Even if people in other places are blocked from the news, they have heard the news more or less after the fall of the state capital."

"I just don't know if those people in the capital will take action?"

After arranging this matter, Lin Feng looked at the map and thought again. He was not worried about whether he could defeat the other party, but wanted to catch the other party in one fell swoop to avoid any more trouble.

And according to his understanding, the backer behind the Zhao State seemed to be a medium-sized sect, and that sect was under the command of the top sect Yuanmu Digong.

The fear is that after beating the younger one, the older one will come, and it will become an endless situation, which will be quite troublesome.

At this stage, Lin Feng still doesn't want to fight against the top sects. At least he has to make his original wild and domineering body fully mature!

Only when his own strength reaches that level will he have the confidence to face the terrifying and indescribable Tianzun Zhenling again.
