Cangdu is one of the ten major cities in the Sky Fox Tribe Country.

Below Cangdu, there are nearly a hundred towns of similar size to Crescent Spring Town under its jurisdiction.

The City Governor of Cangdu is named Hu Yue. He is a few years older than Hu Yixue, around forty years old.

Hu Yue’s mother is from a noble family in the Sky Fox Tribe, and his father is from a major family within the tribe, giving him a very prominent status, thus appointed as the City Governor of Cangdu.

His strength surpasses Hu Yixue considerably, roughly comparable to a Martial God, making him quite a formidable figure.

However, Hu Yue has a significant flaw; he is reckless in his actions and not adept at strategy.

Such a person is clearly not suitable for holding such an important position as the City Governor, so Hu Yue’s family exerted considerable effort to hire a military advisor, the Cangdu Military Advisor, He Lai, who was mentioned by Doctor Zhao earlier. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"He Lai is also a Half-Beast. Although he is not proficient in Martial Arts or advanced Magic, he comes from an ancient Beast Clan. The clan is now dwindling in numbers, but historically, it once flourished and produced the most famous strategists in the Eight Desolate Beast Clan." Doctor Zhao, although still somewhat hostile towards Half-Beast people, spoke of He Lai with considerable respect.

Since He Lai arrived in Cangdu, the city has faced numerous battles and various Beast Tides dozens of times, but each time, they were resolved by He Lai.

"Moreover, each time, Cangdu’s losses were minimal; there was even a record of no casualties at all. So in the Sky Fox Tribe Country, there’s a saying, ’Having He Lai on your side, not even ten thousand men can breach,’ Doctor Zhao said, his expression growing even more worried.

With such a person guarding Cangdu, that Master Yun even dared to claim that Cangdu would be conquered within a month is nothing short of a mad dream.

"Hehe, Doctor Zhao, whether it’s truly a case of one man holding the pass against ten thousand, we’ll only know after we fight. Listening to you, I’m quite eager to meet He Lai," Yun Sheng slightly raised an eyebrow, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

According to the timing, the Night Charm Queen should have already reached Cangdu by now.

"Night Charm Queen, what’s the situation in Cangdu?" Yun Sheng shifted his consciousness.

"Master, we should arrive at Cangdu before sunset. Along the way, we haven’t encountered any soldiers from Cangdu," the Night Charm Queen’s voice whispered into Yun Sheng’s mind.

As for He Lai’s true nature, the news should be coming soon.

It turns out, Yun Sheng had long realized that he was too unfamiliar with the situation in Cangdu, so he had sent the Night Charm Queen ahead to Cangdu.

"Once you reach Cangdu, first find out the whereabouts of two people. One is the City Governor of Cangdu. The other is He Lai. Especially the latter, you must record every word and action he takes in the coming days."

The Night Charm Queen, with her dark complexion, excels at concealed actions in the night. Being clever and quick-witted, she was the perfect choice for gathering intelligence.

The Night Charm Queen traveled for a day and night, arriving at Cangdu around the time lights were being lit.

Cangdu, compared to Crescent Spring Town, has a population of nearly one hundred thousand and covers a vast area.

After searching for a while, the Night Charm Queen quickly targeted the most luxurious mansion in the city.

Inside the Canghai City Guardian Mansion, the Night Charm Queen murmured a spell, and her graceful figure suddenly shrank, transforming into a Chi Mei the size of a moth.

With a slight flutter of her wings, she started searching inside the Cangdu City Guardian Mansion.

The Night Charm Queen had good fortune; after a short search, she found the Cangdu City Governor Hu Yue.

Hu Yue was an average-looking male of the Fox Clan, currently seated in the main hall of the City Guardian Mansion.

In the main hall, there were also two other men.

Among those two men, the Night Charm Queen recognized one as the Half-Beast doctor who had previously fled in panic from Crescent Spring Town.

As for the other one, judging by the age, he was just over thirty, with skin as fair as white jade, delicate features, making him quite a handsome man.

The Night Charm Queen silently flew into the main hall, landing on a Lighting Magic Array, appearing no different from an ordinary moth.

At this moment, the Half-Beast doctor began to speak.

"City Governor, Crescent Spring Town has already been overrun for many days, I urge you to quickly send troops to support."

On that day, seeing how things were turning poorly, the Half-Beast doctor secretly fled. He thought that upon reaching Cangdu, the City Governor would launch an attack immediately.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yue remained inactive.

Almost ten days had passed, yet the City Governor had not moved to attack Crescent Spring Town.

"I have been aware of this matter for some time. He Lai, what do you think?" Hu Yue, just as Doctor Zhao had earlier explained to Yun Sheng, was a person lacking in knowledge.

He could manage on the battlefield, but when it came to military tactics, Hu Yue was helpless, always relying on He Lai’s assistance, and this occasion was no exception.

"He believes that the troops should remain unmoved. The Human Clan is weak; even if they temporarily unite under one person’s power, unity would eventually break. Moreover, Crescent Spring Town has a large number of Half-Beast residents. Even if the Human Clan can temporarily suppress them with external forces, it is bound to cause another riot," the handsome scholar calmly replied.

"What a cunning Half-Beast! No wonder Cangdu hasn’t sent any troops all this time; they plan to let the Half-Beasts in Crescent Spring Town fight amongst themselves," the Night Charm Queen noted.

"Master He Lai, you may not be aware, but the woman who killed the Town Mayor is very powerful. Up to ninety percent of the Half-Beast warriors in the town have already been either killed or captured by her," the Half-Beast doctor witnessed Yun Sheng’s formidable abilities firsthand.

Even Hu Yixue, who possessed the Sky Fox Inheritance, was slain by her.

Not to mention those foolish Half-Beasts in town.

"He Lai, Crescent Spring Town may be impoverished, but it is still a town, and it has the Crescent Well. If it really is occupied by the Human Clan and word gets out, it might incite disaffection in other towns," Hu Yue, after waiting for over ten days, finally felt it was time to take action.

The Human Clan, such insignificant beings, dared to create havoc in his territory, and he must ensure that every single one of them pays with their lives.

"City Governor, for such a tiny Crescent Spring Town, there’s no need to deploy Cangdu’s forces. I have two strategies, and by combining them, we can definitely reclaim Crescent Spring Town. Rest assured, within a month, I can reclaim it without any military force," He Lai said with full confidence.

"From the Wuji Continent, no matter who the opponent might be, anyone who underestimates the people of Cangdu will surely pay a heavy price."

"In that case, go ahead and do as you see fit. I, as the City Governor, await your good news," Hu Yue laughed heartily.
