"Thank you, Princess!"
"Remember, no one is allowed to be intimate with others. Only those with talent can be considered as superior. You are not allowed to follow in the footsteps of those in the former town."
"This official will do as you say, wuu …"
After Dongfang Ning appointed a new mayor, she left everything to him. Right now, the most important thing was still the army. Without their own army, you wouldn't be able to maintain the stability of society.
The two thousand men were also ordered to temporarily stay outside the town and wait for orders. At that moment, Dongfang Ning brought twenty Dark Guards and ordered three hundred men to follow them to their base.
Although they called it a encampment, in reality, it was just a mountain four miles away from the town. There were a lot of houses that could be used for living. It was just like a big mountain stronghold.
There were quite a few elderly and children on the mountain. At this time, they heard the secret guards announcing that Xing Guan had been taken back by Battle King. All the citizens were Battle King's people … And so on and so forth.
"Carriages, food, weapons, pull everyone down from the mountains, and recommend those that you feel you can trust as captains. A captain can only manage 20 people, and then appoint a platoon leader, battalion commander, company commander, captain …"
Dongfang Ning quietly arranged the new positions.
There was no helping it, they could only use these people first. It wouldn't be too late for them to give him advice when he had the appropriate amount of resources in the future.
All these years, everything that the Xu family had harvested had been piled up on the mountain. She had stored a lot of food. Now, she was even more at ease. With these, how could she be afraid that the common people would not have anything to eat?
No one would have thought that there were 300 people on this mountain who could not even finish a single round of food. Dongfang Ning's expression was not as cold as before. She was happier to see food than gold. Gold was useless in a place like this.
Three days later, Dongfang Ning was so tired that she collapsed on the chair. If it was just a mission, it wouldn't be so tiring, mainly because there were too many chores. Yan Wuzhan completely had her opinion on management, so she became the most tiring one.
"Mistress, how many commoners are there outside?"
"Let them in!"
It turned out that the well-meaning people had come to recommend themselves. They wanted to join the disaster relief crowd.
"This little old man knows some medical skills, I heard that many people are infected with the plague, this little old man wants to do his best."
"I am strong and am more familiar with Heaven's End City, so I am willing to lead the way for Your Highness. We escaped here with Heaven's End City, Your Highness, please go and save our fellow villagers, wu …"
These days, Dongfang Ning had seen a lot of men crying. No matter if they were young or middle-aged, they all cried for the disaster area and for their own kind.
"Wu Family sent those with strength up the mountain to mine. He is a sinner, and it was he who caused the deaths of these tens of thousands of people. Your Highness, you have to make the decision for the people, wu …"
These few days, they more or less understood some of the Heaven's End City's situation, so Yan Wuzhan did not stop them, but the old man just went over, and he made the decision.
"Those over 50 years of age are not allowed to go to the disaster area. That place is dangerous. As for everything else, that's for sure!"
In the past few days, the number of people crying for the disaster area was the most. They didn't want to think about anything else. They just wanted to avoid suffering and just live a normal life.
"Mn, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. We will immediately set out on our journey. If something big happens here, all of you should come here to Heaven's End City to inform this king. No matter who it is, those who violate the royal law will be punished."
These days, Yan Wuzhan did not stop to assure the people that he would treat the people well and be the master of the people.
Dongfang Ning went outside again, and told the citizens who were familiar with the terrain to bring the cart of biscuits first to save them, and then they brought the large group to the Heaven's End City. The people who went there to scout had all returned, and expressed that the scene was very tragic, as the citizens not only did not do anything, but they also beat up the refugees, and some victims even slept on the streets.
Now, the group returned to the hall to discuss how to get there. The food that saved lives had already been delivered, and this was something that needed to be done quickly. If they were late, more people would die.
"Get someone to embroider the flag first. In the Heaven's End City, no matter who it is, kill them the moment they resist!"
"Battle King, how about we capture Wu Ren first. He has already lost the will of the people, it won't affect us even if we capture him."
"I think that's fine. Right now, Yan Wuzhan is the largest in the government, and he also has a group of people. Don't be afraid of his motley group."
Dongfang Ning sat quietly as she listened in on their conversation. Right now, in order to save the citizens, they had to go through Wu Ren's hurdle, since he was deeply rooted here. It would not be difficult for him to kill Wu Ren.
"Ning'er? "Ning'er, what are you thinking about?"
"Yan Wuzhan, we just arrived here. All the officials in the city are surnamed Wu. Tell me, do you think they will agree that we are going to steal their jobs?"
That's right, everyone thought that it was indeed the case. Killing a person with Wu Family was easy, but they were being mischievous, and the ones who were suffering were the commoners. Their expressions all turned serious as they looked at Dongfang Ning, hoping that she would come up with a good plan.
Dongfang Ning did not argue. After organizing her thoughts, she started to analyze the situation she was about to face.
"Right now, what we are most afraid of is that he will use the commoners to threaten us, so, secretly capturing him is a good method, but have you thought about it? He has lived in Heaven's End City for several generations, and Wu Ren has been in operation here for a long time.
I want to secretly capture him so that no one knows about it, then find someone to pretend to be him and stay at home, control his whole family, and change them into his appearance. I want to use his identity to take control of everything, find out who's in the Wu Family faction, secretly grab hold of Wu Ren's power, and then use his tone to give orders for the disaster relief, and kill whoever is suspicious …
"Once this is done, it will be made known to the public. That way, his friends and relatives will have no chance to fight back, nor will they have any chance to fight back …"
Everyone fell into deep thought. What Dongfang Ning said was right, you can't kill everyone in the city. You have to get the word out before you can move on to the next step.
However, if others were to speak, not only would it be bad, Wu Family and other networks would only secretly cause trouble, acting against the will of the masses. No matter how much time you spend, you will not be able to achieve the true purpose of disaster relief, and will even cause harm to the people.
If they were to take it off at the same time, they would have no one to use, but the hundred thousand soldiers of the Fang family was no joke.
"Ning'er, go on. This king believes in you!"
"Right now, the news has already been released, saying that you came to Heaven's End City, and will arrive in no time, but no one knows when you will enter the city, so we can only make this time gap. We will first enter the city to secretly control the City Lord's Mansion, then order the gates to be opened to welcome Battle King …"
Only by doing this could casualties be reduced. The soldiers in Heaven's End City are also Battle King's, so why kill them? In the future, we will still need to rely on our manpower to develop, and these people can all be used.
Yes, as long as they started fighting, no matter which side, there would always be casualties. At that time, it would be both a natural disaster and a human disaster.
"Ning'er, you're so kind. Then let's do it. This King will personally open the door to welcome 'Battle King' into the city."
