Urban Wolf King

Wang Yan and Ying Zheng's departure immediately caused a sensation throughout Suwei Country.

Leading only five thousand troops, they audaciously aimed to conquer Suwei Country's powerful enemies, an endeavor that seemed nothing short of delusional.

For a time, within the royal city of Suwei Country, ridicule against Wang Yan and Ying Zheng abounded, with everyone believing they were crazy with ambition for power.

Everyone eagerly anticipated the sight of Wang Yan and Ying Zheng returning defeated to Suwei Country.

Yet, barely half a month later, news arrived simultaneously from the east and west that Wang Yan and Ying Zheng's five thousand-strong force had surprisingly defeated two formidable foes, capturing the monarchs of the two countries alive.

When the monarchs of the two countries were escorted back to the royal city, the entire city was immediately abuzz.

The Su Wei Huang rejoiced greatly, promptly bestowing the title of Viscount upon both of them.

It wasn't just the two of them; even Little Wolf, a subordinate of Viscount Wang Yan, was granted the title of Baron by Su Wei Huang.

However, after defeating their formidable enemies, the newly appointed barons were not satisfied and instead incorporated the armies of the two nations, leading them forward to continue their assault.

After all, outside of Suwei Country, there were dozens of countries large and small, stretching for thousands of miles.

Even Su Wei Huang had never imagined his army could campaign so far from home.

Nonetheless, from that day on, victories were like snowflakes, arriving from both the east and west into Suwei Country's royal city.

Wherever the eastern and western armies passed through, they were unstoppable, not a single country could block their way.

Gradually, Suwei Country's territory expanded wider, and Wang Yan and Ying Zheng's military exploits grew ever more illustrious.

With the number of nations they conquered growing, their ranks also elevated increasingly.

Across the world, the names of Wang Yan and Ying Zheng had spread far and wide, known by all.

Initially, people believed Wang Yan and Ying Zheng were equally renowned, but as time passed, everyone realized the stark difference between them.

Wang Yan's warfare in the east spared innocents, apart from necessary casualties of war.

Ying Zheng, in stark contrast, would obliterate any captured city, leaving none unscathed.

As Wang Yan and Ying Zheng's fame soared, people worldwide understood Wang Yan was compassionate, while Ying Zheng was ruthless.

Six months passed.

On this day, two messengers on horseback galloped out from Suwei Country's royal city, splitting into left and right paths.

Seeing this, everyone within Suwei Country's royal city knew that the destination of these two messengers was surely the military camps of the two illustrious Grand Generals.

Sure enough, the messenger heading west galloped tirelessly for three days and nights, traversing dense forests and towering peaks, finally arriving at a camp stretching for dozens of miles.

The messenger, holding a yellow scroll, dashed into the central tent, shouting: "Reporting to Grand General Ying Zheng, Su Wei Huang confers the rank of Marquis upon the General."

At this time, Ying Zheng was sitting firmly among the army, donning golden armor, displaying unmatched majesty.

Receiving the yellow scroll from the messenger, Ying Zheng glanced at it and burst into a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, Marquis, just one more rank and I'll become a Duke, the throne of Su Wei Huang should ultimately be mine."

In that moment, there were a dozen commanders within the tent, all kneeling and congratulating Ying Zheng: "Wishing Grand General Ying Zheng a swift ascension and rank, being appointed Duke, ascending to Su Wei Huang."

Hearing the commanders' flatteries, Ying Zheng's face showed a smug expression, but he then lowered his head to ask the messenger: "What rank is Wang Yan currently?"

The messenger, expecting this inquiry, carefully replied: "Returning, Marquis, General Wang Yan has simultaneously been conferred the rank of Marquis."

Upon hearing this, those around dared not speak, lowering their heads, even hesitating to breathe.

Unlike previous times when Ying Zheng would rage upon hearing of Wang Yan, this time, Ying Zheng refrained from anger, instead revealing a peculiar, complacent smile.

Ying Zheng's mouth curled up, murmuring coldly within: "Wang Yan, it seems you can only halt at Marquis, the trap I've laid beside you should soon explode."

Simultaneously, another messenger reached the far eastern camp.

Wang Yan, seated within the camp, read the yellow scroll, and calmly said to the messenger: "You've worked hard, please go rest."

The messenger nodded respectfully, hurriedly retreating while thinking: Everyone says Viscount Wang Yan is approachable unlike the domineering Viscount Ying Zheng, today's encounter indeed confirms it.

After the messenger stepped back, Wang Yan placed the yellow scroll on the table and moved to a small bed at the corner of the tent.

Lying on this small bed was a pale-faced young girl.

This young girl was the rescued Purple Smoke by Wang Yan.

Purple Smoke's reliance on Wang Yan had reached an inseparable level, leaving Wang Yan no choice but to bring Purple Smoke along during his campaigns.

Yet, over time, Wang Yan's affection for Purple Smoke deepened, gradually viewing her as his own daughter.

After every battle, Wang Yan would return to the tent to savor familial joy with Purple Smoke.

Only when with Purple Smoke could Wang Yan find a moment of peace from the battlefield's murderous intent.

However, perhaps frightened from last time, the young girl's health deteriorated, weakening to an extent where even Wang Yan's medical skills couldn't heal her.

Helpless, Wang Yan sought renowned doctors from every conquered place to treat Purple Smoke.

But no treatment had any effect, and Purple Smoke's condition visibly worsened.

Thus, even knowing his promotion to Marquis today, Wang Yan's concern for Purple Smoke left him unable to rejoice.

While Wang Yan worried, Little Wolf entered the tent and spoke to Wang Yan: "Master, I've found a way to heal Purple Smoke."

Wang Yan excitedly raised his head and asked: "What method is it?"

Little Wolf eagerly replied: "Returning to Master, not far from our current camp, lies the Mount of the Wise, where resides a Wise One reputed to know all secrets of the world. After much persuasion, this Wise One agreed to meet Marquis."

Wang Yan immediately nodded and commanded: "Issue orders, I am going to the Mount of the Wise now."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's intentions, Little Wolf couldn't hide his inner joy, revealing a trace of sinister intent in his eyes.

However, perhaps Wang Yan was too elated, thus he didn't notice the sinister glint in Little Wolf's gaze.
