C366 Easily Break the City

"Mayor Zheng Fang, it seems that your prestige in the city isn't very high."

Hearing Potter's teasing and the unmoved crowd, Zheng Fang's expression became very ugly.

These past few days had been a low point in his life, as if nothing had gone smoothly for him.

First he was humiliated by Xu Tianyu, then he was scared by Potter and ran back.

Now, even the people in the city didn't take him seriously. This made him burn with anger.

"You know what you're doing, hurry up and open the door for me. If the Empire's support arrives, your actions will be treason. When that happens, don't blame me for being merciless."

Zheng Fang threatened directly, causing the citizens on the city wall to panic.

In their minds, the Empire was the sky. If the army came, they would all die.

They were scared, and then the first one ran out, and the others followed.

Soon, the city gates opened.

"Master Zheng Fang."

All the citizens were standing beside the city gate and respectfully welcoming Zheng Fang.

Zheng Fang's expression improved a lot, but he was still not very happy about it.

It was because Potter was still by his side, so he was still in danger.

Very quickly, the convoy returned to the City Lord's Mansion. In the center of the hall, Potter was seated at the head seat, and Zheng Fang was standing below.

This scene reminded him of the day Xu Tianyu came. It was exactly the same scene.

However, someone else was sitting in the main seat. One was to persuade him to improve his defense, and the other was to attack them.

"General Potter, we have already entered. I wonder when I will be able to leave."

"No rush, no rush. Wait until my soldiers occupy all four sides of the city gates." Moreover, City Lord's Mansion is pretty good here. Why did Mayor Zheng Fang leave?

Hearing Potter's words, Zheng Fang's face sank.

He had already thought about this possibility. He was going to be placed under house arrest.

No one would let him, the mayor, leave. Although a mayor didn't have much ability, he still had a lot of trust when he went to call for reinforcements.

Potter couldn't let him leave, but he didn't have the choice.

Dead and alive.

This was simply a choice that did not require much thought.

"Men, arrange lodging for Mayor Zheng Fang and send back his family."

Potter did not ask for Zheng Fang's opinion and directly instructed his servants to do so.

Zheng Fang could only obediently leave.

And the Five Seas City, because the city gate was controlled by the soldiers of the Sand Empire.

On that day, the four city gates opened wide, and a large number of Sand Empire soldiers poured into the Five Seas City.

The people in the city became frightened and hid at home, not daring to come out.1

Potter did not harass the commoners. He was right about one thing, Sand Empire does require a population, and they need labour as well.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to make a move against the civilians. However, even if the civilians did not make a move, it did not mean that the Sand King soldiers had nothing to do.

All the wealthy merchants and nobles in the city had become the targets of their attention.

Although many wealthy merchants had already fled ahead of time, due to their haste to leave, there were still many treasures left behind in their houses.

Now, all of these became the Sand Empire's military expenditure.

Potter spent two days to rule over the Five Seas City. The commoners saw that the Sand King soldiers did not attack them.

They were all relieved, and at the same time, there were a few bold ones who left the house and went out for a stroll.

However, the white Skeleton Soldier standing on the street still scared them.

This kind of undead creature made them feel fear. Even if they didn't have any intention of attacking, they still felt fear.

However, the Five Seas City had stabilized from this storm. It was just that the city lord had changed, there was still Skeleton Soldier in the city.
