If a player appeared and was discovered, the Scarlet Fire Green Golden Ball Ants would charge over. There weren't many players, but there were many Scarlet Fire Green Golden Ball Ants, so the player didn't have any.
To his surprise, Dongfang Qingyu saw that he was refusing all calls on the city wall. He was the highest officer of the city defense, so it was normal for him to appear on the city wall when the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ant attacked. However, he was also a member of the Divine Immortal Pavilion. The Divine Immortal Pavilion had attracted the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ant to the Azure Dragon City, refusing all calls but helping the Azure Dragon City to defend against the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ant, which was very magical.
"City Lord!" The White Sky Corpse appeared and bowed to Dongfang Qingyu.
"How was your performance when you refused all calls?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Not bad!" The White Sky Corpse replied.
"I was able to keep my composure, but I was a little arrogant," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I've been keeping an eye on him. He's very cautious, and no one can find anything wrong with his every action." He knew very well that the reason why the Sky Corpse Dao refused to accept all incoming calls was to prepare for a bigger purpose in the future. At the moment, the attack of the Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ants was not very fierce, and once the main force of the Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ants arrived and launched their attack, they would refuse to accept any incoming calls.
"If you really want to find fault, can't you find it?" Dongfang Qingyu sneered, and suddenly raised his voice: "Refuse to answer all calls. Come here, I have something to ask you."
He had already seen Dongfang Qingyu appear when he refused all calls, but he pretended not to see him. However, Dongfang Qingyu did not let him go like this. In public, Dongfang Qingyu, as the general manager of the army, asked questions, refused all calls and did not reject them. He reluctantly walked in front of Dongfang Qingyu and said in a very nasty tone, "What is it? Tell me quickly. If it's not something important, don't open your mouth. I need to concentrate on dealing with the Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ant!"
Many people saw this scene and wanted to know how Dongfang Qingyu would treat the culprit, the people of the Pavilion of Immortals. Many thoughts flashed through everyone's mind, but when they saw Dongfang Qingyu make a move, they realized that they had underestimated Dongfang Qingyu.
Pow!
Dongfang Qingyu suddenly made a move, the aura of the 'Head General Manager of the Marching Army' suddenly erupted, instantly suppressing all the incoming calls, and then he raised his hand and gave a slap. A clear slap resounded throughout the city wall, and all incoming calls rolled 360 degrees in the air before landing on the ground. He laid on the ground like a dead dog, unable to get up, because Dongfang Qingyu's suppression had not ended yet, the left side of his face was swollen, the five fingers were extremely clear, and a trace of red flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Dongfang Qingyu's slap was not light.
"A mere city guard actually did not kneel down when he saw me. Are you courting death?" Dongfang Qingyu's eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
Crash ~ ~ ~ ~
Before he could even speak after rejecting all the calls, his trusted subordinates rushed forward and surrounded him with angry expressions.
"Dongfang Qingyu, what are you trying to do?"
"Dongfang Qingyu, are you sent by the enemy to assassinate our City Guard!"
"Dongfang Qingyu, hand over your life!"
...
It had to be said that the trusted aides who refused all calls were still very loyal. A group of contract workers at the bottom of the hierarchy, whose nature was similar to that of the city enforcement officers, actually dared to attack Dongfang Qingyu, the 'Head General Manager of the Marching Army'. If Dongfang Qingyu's identity was placed in reality, it would be equivalent to that of a minister-level cadre and the commander of a military region. He even received an order from the central investigation group to come to this place. The difference in status between the two sides was dozens of streets away.
"How dare you!" Dongfang Qingyu opened his eyes wide, and the aura of the 'Head General Marching' erupted. In an instant, it expanded to a hundred meters wide, covering all of the trusted subordinates who were rushing over.
Crash ~ ~ ~ ~
Even the person who refused all calls was unable to resist the aura, let alone his trusted aide. Before he could do anything, his knees went soft and he kneeled down on the floor. They were all humiliated and their eyes were full of anger. However, there was nothing they could do about it. A higher official could crush a person to death. There was a gap of dozens of levels between them, so they could only feel despair.
"Disrespecting your superior, holding arms against him, and refusing all calls, are you trying to rebel?" Killing intent flashed in Dongfang Qingyu's eyes. How could he not make use of the opportunity that he had given to him by refusing all calls?
The White Sky Corpse was excited. If he could take the opportunity to take down all incoming calls and replace them with their people, he wouldn't have to worry about the city defense. Refusing to accept all incoming calls was disrespectful to Dongfang Qingyu and his subordinates. They rushed up with weapons in their hands and spoke arrogantly. Everyone saw that they could, and the evidence was conclusive, enough to nail down all incoming calls.
Just as Dongfang Qingyu was about to make his move, Inspector He Qishu of the Nine Gates appeared.
"My lord, can you please give me some face and refuse to accept all calls once?" He Qishu lowered his head. In terms of rank, he was higher than Dongfang Qingyu, but in terms of the orders of the 'Head General Manager of the Marching Army', he was more than a level lower. The 'Head General Manager of the Marching Army' had a lot of power. During the war, even the Prime Minister had to make way for him, and even the General General had to listen to him. Naturally, the Inspector of the Nine Gates was no exception.
Dongfang Qingyu stared at He Qishu, feeling somewhat strange. No matter how he looked at it, it was strange to compromise for a person who was not his trusted aide. He thought for a while, and in the end, decided to give He Qishu face. He refused all incoming calls and said, "According to my original intention, you should be sent to the yamen for such an action, but since Lord He has spoken, I will spare you this time. However, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. You will be fined 10,000 gold coins. In addition, these people will be sent to Mang Mountain as slaves."
"Thank you, my lord!" Refusing to answer all calls was said through gritted teeth. After being slapped by Dongfang Qingyu, not only was he unable to take revenge, he even had to put on a grateful expression. Was there anything more depressing than this in the world?
"Go on, continue to command the battle. Don't let a single flaming green gold ball ant climb up the wall, or else if you disturb the Emperor, Lord He will personally kill you." Dongfang Qingyu retracted the aura of the 'Head General Manager'.
"Yes, sir!" Those who refused all calls loosened their bodies and staggered to their feet. Many of them gave Dongfang Qingyu a resentful look before turning around and leaving.
"Tall!"
"These people are so fast!"
"No wonder Dongfang Qingyu didn't care about the fine of 100,000 gold coins. In the blink of an eye, a tenth of it returned. This kind of situation happens a few more times."
"Otherwise, why would there be a saying of a hundred thousand silver coins in three years in the Qingzhi Palace? The 'Head General Manager of the Army' is much bigger than the Prefect."
...
The players in the city discussed animatedly, sighing with emotion. This official position was really good. Dongfang Qingyu had only found an insignificant problem, earned 10,000 gold coins, cut off more than a hundred of his trusted aides who refused all calls, established his authority, and even owed Inspector He Qishu a favor. It was killing two birds with one stone.
At the end of the universe was the civil service, and at that moment many players realized the importance of power.
"What is Lord He busy with? Is there anything more important than the Crimson Fire Green-Golden Ball Ant?" Dongfang Qingyu asked casually. He Qizhu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head to explain: "Someone took advantage of the fact that the Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mud Ball Ants were attacking the Imperial Palace and appeared around the Imperial Palace with ill intentions. I was dealing with this matter and was delayed for a while."
"The affairs of the Imperial City, as well as the yamen and the 'Six Fans Gate', Lord He, it's better not to put the cart before the horse. If the city gate is lost, you won't be able to bear the blame, and I won't be able to bear it either." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"You are right, Lord. I will remember it." He Qishu quickly admitted his mistake.
"If Lord He was in charge of this battle, how would we fight?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at the surging tide of Crimson Flame Green-Golden Mud Balls. As the number of them increased, he was already prepared to fight a long battle in his heart.
"The best way is to find the nest of the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ants. As long as we break their nest, these Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ants will break down on their own." He Qishu said.
"Does Lord He know where the nest of the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ants is?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Yes." He Qishu nodded.
"Does Lord He think this method is feasible?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"No." He Qishu said somewhat awkwardly.
"Lord He, please tell me some practical methods." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"We have to ask His Majesty to send out the Fourth Guard and the Great General to eliminate the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ant. Just the power of the city defense is not enough to fight against the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ant." He Qishu was a proud person, but he was also a practical person. If he could do it, he could do it. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it. He didn't know how to speak.
"I believe in Lord He's judgment. Since that is the case, you and I will submit a memorial together and ask the Emperor to send troops." Dongfang Qingyu said, and He Qishu's face immediately collapsed. So the pit was waiting for him here. The suggestion was made by him, and he had no reason to refuse, so he could only agree.
The first day passed without any mishap. After all, there weren't many of them, and the players had a lot of experience dealing with them. They also had plenty of ant medicine, so there was basically no danger. The casualties were zero, because not a single one of them had charged up to the top of the city wall.
From the second day onwards, the smiles on the players' faces disappeared and were replaced by a solemn expression. The main army of the Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ants was already very close, and each shot of the cannon covered less than three meters. Under normal circumstances, it would be ten meters, but the power was withstood by the Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ants. From this, one could see how many Crimson Fire Green Gold Ball Ants there were and how dense they were.
Dongfang Qingyu received a fine of 10,000 gold coins from refusing to accept all incoming calls, and he had also planted his own people on the city defense. Those more than a hundred people were punished to serve as servants, and Dongfang Qingyu took up half of the empty spots. Inspector He Qishu of the Nine Gates had personally agreed to it, and refused to accept all incoming calls.
As night fell, the situation outside the city suddenly became bad. Just as Dongfang Qingyu was about to focus all of his attention on dealing with the Crimson Flame Green Gold Ball Ants, a eunuch appeared with an imperial edict.
