Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 936 - 578 - s: Song Jin
Wolf Tooth Tavern, Xu Yang returned to the reserved private room, only to find it empty.
There was no helping it, not everyone was like him. There was still two to three hours before the meet-up time. Though not long, it was enough to train one or two soldiers, a chance that could not be missed at such a critical moment.
Xu Yang was patient and sat down to wait. It was only half an hour later that someone arrived, unsurprisingly, it was Feng Cheng.
"Wow, Yang, you got here so early?"
Seeing Xu Yang already waiting, Feng Cheng was also surprised and hurriedly approached, "Aren't you going to prepare more? The squad leader gave you an 'Unrivaled Token' as a reward. It would be awful if you screwed it all up in the end..."
"You should worry about yourself first."
Xu Yang shook his head and said to this fawning youth, "Not keeping an eye on your own territory and coming here to join the bustle, aren't you afraid someone will steal your home?"
"Don't worry!"
Feng Cheng smiled upon hearing this, "I just won a battle, and now my territory has one day of safety time."
"Oh!"
Xu Yang was also surprised by this, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. What, do I look so useless in your eyes?"
Feeling slighted, Feng Cheng puffed up his chest, but soon deflated, and said worriedly to Xu Yang, "Yang, this time we definitely need to help the squad leader. You don't know, there's a scumbag in the student council who has always been scheming against the squad leader. This time, he even wants to exploit the situation..."
Listening to his description, Xu Yang shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and simply asked, "Who told you this?"
Feng Cheng was the picture of innocence, "That's what everyone is saying!"
Xu Yang:"..."
After a long silence and no more words, he could only pat his shoulder, hoping this fawning youth would come to his senses.
As a Lord, indulging in beauties was certainly not scarce, not daring to claim fairies or goddesses, but ordinary beauties were a dime a dozen, like the Fox Clan mercenaries previously hawking in the tavern, possessing such special effects.
After all, the Sky-reaching Tower did not care about these matters. As long as you don't mind that these Low-Order troops have low intelligence and sluggish responses, you could do whatever you wanted. If not, there were always High-Order troops or even Heroes to choose from, they were no different from ordinary people, or perhaps they were ordinary people.
Thus, whether it was male or female beauty, Lords were never in shortage.
Still, marriages between Lords remained prevalent, setting aside personal affections, it was mainly about the exchange of interests, the union of two large territories or even two large forces.
Besides, marriages between Lords had a certain chance of producing offspring who inherited talents from both parents or even surpassed them.
This led to the formation of many "Lord" families and the emergence of various "Second Generation Lords".
Zhang Yan, possessing an intense Talent like 'Charming Beauty', being coveted by other Lords was quite normal, so this rumor wasn't entirely fabricated.
But one question remained, who had spread the rumor?
The scumbag Lord from the student council?
Or some other meddler?
Or perhaps... Zhang Yan herself?
It was possible, Xu Yang didn't really care. A woman alone and vulnerable, using what advantages she had for self-preservation or advancement was only natural, as long as it harmed no one else, it was perfectly defensible.
...
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. Shortly after Xu Yang and Feng Cheng sat down, a stunning figure walked into the private room.
Seeing the two, Zhang Yan smiled but said little more, nodded in greeting, then waited on the side.
In this manner, people gradually arrived, with around twenty First-Order Lords gathering, demonstrating both Zhang Yan's networking efforts and her strong personal charm.
After all, the safety period for new Lords had just passed, most Lords were busy with defending or attacking territories, resisting powerful enemies and slaughtering the weak. At such a time, for Zhang Yan to pull together over twenty people spoke volumes of her connections and charm, even if they were motivated by profit.
Once everyone had assembled, they promptly set off and soon arrived at the teleportation site.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of white light and a sudden shift in space brought them to a new territory.
Xu Yang steadied his stance and shifted his gaze, starting to observe the terrain.
The core of Zhang Yan's territory was surprisingly within a valley, surrounded on three sides by unscalable mountains, with only one exit to the east, now sealed by a stone wall over ten zhang high. The iron wood gate, blocked by boulders, was completely impassable.
The stone wall, over ten zhang high and spanning a hundred meters wide, featured a tower every ten meters, standing tall, not only equipped with crossbow cannons but also numerous shooting embrasures, with soldiers stationed vaguely visible.
Such towers, arranged in double rows, one in front of the other, could attack both at the base and top of the wall, designed for the most intense and brutal battles for control over walls.
Beyond that, along the wall were large quantities of resources, including rolling logs, columns, kerosene, and plentiful supplies of arrows and bolts. Numerous armored infantrymen, along with archers carrying bows and arrows, were patrolling the wall, all of elite caliber, and even included a few of special rank.

"This..."
"Damn!"
"So many elite troops?"
"Squad leader, do you even have a civilization now?"
"Aren't those Yue family's Beiwei Armor Soldiers special troops from the Great Song?"
"The safety period just ended, and you can recruit special troops already?"
"And these walls and towers, how much resources did this height, thickness, and material cost?"
