Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1241: Chapter 114: Anhu City (Part 3)

However, the city defense army of Anhu City is definitely not a regular army; at their core, they are still sect forces, and the army is built solely to meet the city defense needs of Anhu City.

Therefore, Anhu City has five colonels, each commanding over a thousand soldiers.

Yang Minghao thought he would be targeted by the Lian family upon arriving here, but unexpectedly, he was recruited into the army by the disciples of the Illusion Moon Sect before even entering the city.

"Why, are you unwilling?" Li Wenyu frowned slightly, his face full of rough flesh making him look somewhat fierce.

"No, no, I just didn’t expect to join the city defense army before even entering the city!" Yang Minghao explained.

Li Wenyu’s expression relaxed a bit, "You needn’t worry about anything else; just stay in my barracks and wait for orders!"

"Duan He, take them to the barracks; there are exactly ten of them, so set up a squad leader!"

"Yes!" responded a soldier from the Li family camp behind him.

And so, Yang Minghao and the others became Li Wenyu’s soldiers before they even entered the city.

After saluting to Li Wenyu with clasped fists, Yang Minghao followed the soldier named Duan He into the city.

As for why Li Wenyu directly recruited Yang Minghao and the others under her command, the reason was actually quite simple.

First, Anhu City urgently needed more strength to guard the city, and as one of the five colonels of the city defense army, she naturally hoped to have as many soldiers as possible.

She was a disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect, and now that Anhu City was under the control of the Illusion Moon Sect, she was in charge of guarding the city gate to seize the opportunity to recruit more soldiers.

The second reason was that she saw something different in Yang Minghao and his group of ten people, two of whom were at the Heavenly Gang Stage and eight at the Qi Sea Stage—neither too strong nor too weak.

But Li Wenyu saw a military demeanor in Yang Minghao and the others.

The difference between regular soldiers and ordinary martial artists is still quite noticeable.

Even though Yang Minghao and the others did not deliberately display it, Li Wenyu noticed something different about them.

Especially as those eight Guardian Army soldiers were wearing the same armor and holding the same battle knives and bows and arrows.

This was exactly the kind of soldier Li Wenyu needed, so she naturally recruited them without hesitation.

Ding Qiu and Yang Minghao, after entering the city, were taken to the barracks.

"This is your barracks, just right for the ten of you. I am your centurion, and from now on, you’ll be under my command!"

Duan He looked at Ding Qiu and Yang Minghao, politely saying, "If you need anything else, feel free to find me at any time!"

The barracks weren’t too shabby, with each room divided into four compartments, each furnished with beds and tables and chairs, complete with all necessary living supplies and kept very clean.

"Sir, what do we need to do next?" Yang Minghao asked.

Duan He waved his hand and smiled, "No need to call me sir, just use my name directly."

"I’m Duan He, also a disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect!"

The Illusion Moon Sect was primarily female, but there were also quite a few male martial artists; Duan He was an inner sect disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect.

"I’m Yang Minghao!"

"Ding Qiu!"

Duan He nodded and continued, "For now, there’s nothing you need to do. Get familiar with the camp, but don’t leave it. We might be called for a mission at any time!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Minghao didn’t ask further and settled in just like that.

Originally, he thought he would be very busy after arriving here, likely needing to go out and eliminate the mutant beasts near Anhu City, but in reality, their task was just to guard the city gates or walls.

The anticipated beast tide did not come, and thus Ding Qiu and Yang Minghao became city defense soldiers of Anhu City, which left the two of them quite speechless.
