Chapter 1567 - 1542: 200,000 Troops Besiege Sky Tiger City

The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight.

The entire Sky Tiger City was bustling with joy and excitement.

Nearly a hundred thousand people gathered in the city's square, waiting for the start of the founding ceremony.

Yang Xiao sat on the podium, surrounded by Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu, the ten war generals, Elder Qi, Black Wood, and others on either side of him.

Xing Zhe, as a guest, sat in the first row below the podium.

About fifty to sixty cities and organizations had sent representatives to attend Yang Xiao's founding ceremony.

The host was still Ao Litai, once a trusted subordinate of Ba Tianhu, making him very suitable to host.

Ao Litai stood up and loudly announced:

"Honored guests, dear brothers, citizens of Sky Tiger City,

hello everyone!"

Now quiet down immediately.

"Today is a joyous day for Sky Tiger City, and also a joyous day for all of us.

Starting today, our sixty-four cities will become one entity, a team sharing life and death,

from today, we will become the first true nation on the Central Continent!

"Wow!"

The entire crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

The news of founding the nation was already known and accepted by everyone, now they awaited Yang Xiao's official announcement.

"Next, let's welcome our leader, also the King of the new nation, Yang Xiao,

to speak to everyone."

"Wow!"

The entire crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

Yang Xiao stood up, raised his hands slightly, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

Yang Xiao lightly cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Honored guests, dear brothers and sisters, citizens,

today marks the moment we unite and establish our new home, from now on, we are one family,

in this new home, everyone is equal, we respect and help each other, living in harmony.

Everyone will have food, clothing, shelter,

children can attend school, the elderly can enjoy their twilight years, adults have work,

internally, there will be no more wars, no more mutual slaughter, no more separation of families,

I have named this new home beautifully,

Central Continent Empire!"

The crowd of a hundred thousand was first stunned, then erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Central Continent Empire!"

"Long live Central Continent Empire!"

"Long live Yang Xiao!"

"Long live the King!"

...

In the front row, representatives from dozens of cities and organizations were listening, their hearts momentarily skipped a beat.

Central Continent Empire?

This name has significance, doesn't it imply a future unification of the entire Central Continent?

"I am honored to become the first King of the Central Continent Empire,"

The crowd broke into applause, cheers.

"Long live the King!"

...

Yang Xiao paused briefly, glanced at Xiao Qingliu beside him, and continued loudly:

"Allow me to introduce, the Vice King of the Central Continent Empire, once the Mr. Master of the Dark Web."

Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu stood up and waved to the crowd.

Xiao Qingliu didn't want Yang Xiao to reveal her real name, so Yang Xiao did not say "Xiao Qingliu."

In reality, "Mr. Master" carries far more impact than Xiao Qingliu, almost everyone on the Central Continent knew of the Dark Web's Mr. Master, once the most terrifying leader of the Assassin Organization on the Central Continent.

Previously, upon hearing the infamous name of Mr. Master, people couldn't help but feel nervous and afraid.

The assassins of the Dark Web Organization always appeared masked, and in people's imaginations, they were all like demons.

Now, standing before everyone was an exquisite beauty, completely unable to connect to the cold-blooded Demon King they once feared, the crowd of ten thousand looked on dumbfounded at Mr. Master.

Yang Xiao chuckled:

"Isn't Mr. Master too beautiful, making everyone stare?"

The crowd laughed uproariously.

Someone joked:

"King, Mr. Master is so beautiful, she shouldn't be our Vice King."

"What should she become then?"

"She should become our Queen, haha..."

"Yes, she should become our Queen, the young and mighty King is perfectly matched with such a beauty as Mr. Master."

"King, why not marry Mr. Master as your wife today?"

"Yes, as your wife, as your wife....."

The crowd of ten thousand cheered.

Yang Xiao originally didn't care, but took a glance at Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu, who was already blushing, lightly biting her lip.

Yang Xiao looked at Mr. Master, and Mr. Master happened to glance at Yang Xiao as well. Seeing Yang Xiao's face with a gloating, mischievous smile, she softly scolded:

"Can't you properly manage them? They're becoming lawless. On the first day, they're already joking about me, the Vice King. What will happen in the future?"

Yang Xiao chuckled softly, and waved his hands at everyone, causing the scene to slowly quiet down.

"Everyone, stop making a fuss. Mr. Master is shy. This matter needs to be taken slowly, not something to be decided today."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Mr. Master rolled her eyes at Yang Xiao, wishing she could just devour him in one bite.

"Alright, let me introduce our top ten War Generals: Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Ao Litai…"

The top ten War Generals stood up one by one, waving to the surrounding people.

"And our more than seventy quasi-War Generals, they are Suonan, Ma Kui…"

Over seventy Emperor Level Realm experts stood up in turn, waving to everyone.

"The Central Continent Empire will also establish a Ministry of Finance, which will control the finances of the entire country, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture…"

Just as Yang Xiao was introducing the personnel setup of the Central Continent Empire, there was a sudden burst of explosions from the distant sky.

Everyone was shocked and looked towards the source, only to see a cloud of blackness pressing towards Sky Tiger City in the distance.

A team of guards flew over from the sky, landing in front of the grand hall's platform.

The leading immigrant guard, covered in blood, shouted loudly:

"Reporting to the King, Guo Jianglong and the pangolin have brought a large force to attack."

The tens of thousands of spectators were shocked internally upon hearing this.

"What? Guo Jianglong and the pangolin, the two great tyrant City Lords, have joined forces to attack?"

"How can this be resolved?"

"The two of them together, their strength is formidable!"

...

The scene was in turmoil, filled with panic.

Yang Xiao shouted loudly:

"What are you panicking about? Don't panic!

I was worried that Guo Jianglong and the pangolin wouldn't come. Since they're here, we can save ourselves the trouble of leading everyone in a long raid to attack Tongtian City and Golden Armor City,

Elder Qi!"

Elder Qi immediately leaped from his seat, standing in front of Yang Xiao, bowed, and said:

"Here!"

"Where is the two hundred thousand troops I asked you to prepare?"

"Reporting to the King, you instructed me to gather the troops from sixty-four cities, a total of three hundred and sixty thousand, of which two hundred thousand elite squads are stationed in the forests and valleys around Sky Tiger City as per your instructions, ready for the King's command at any time."

The people at the scene were all astonished upon hearing this.

Yang Xiao had indeed spent time arranging for Elder Qi to first reassemble the military forces of various cities. Each city left two thousand guards to maintain city security, while the rest of the guards were turned over to Elder Qi and others for unified arrangement.

Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Ao Litai, and others all participated, and dozens of quasi-War Generals present also entered the new organization.

However, among them, only Elder Qi, Black Wood, and Ao Litai knew that Yang Xiao had instructed Elder Qi to ambush two hundred thousand elite guards in the forests and valleys around Sky Tiger City.

Even Flying Tiger wasn't informed.

Flying Tiger was appointed by Yang Xiao as the City Lord of Sky Tiger City, with significant responsibilities and numerous trivial matters, so Yang Xiao didn't tell him.

Upon hearing that Yang Xiao had already prepared a strong army to handle unexpected situations, everyone felt immediately at ease and was filled with admiration for Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao said to everyone:

"Black Wood leads the five thousand guards on the scene to defend Sky Tiger City, the rest of the War Generals, quasi-War Generals, follow Elder Qi's arrangement, immediately return to your respective squads, and lead your guards, cut off Guo Jianglong and the pangolin's retreat,

In this battle, I want everyone to annihilate Guo Jianglong and the pangolin's guards and kill the two demon overlords,

This is a grand gift from Guo Jianglong and Ba Tianhu to me,

After today, there will be no more of these two individuals in the Central Continent. The entire Central Continent will be a complete and unified empire, the Central State Empire,

Brothers, this is our final battle, do we have confidence?"

"Yes!"

The momentum of the hundred thousand people on site was earth-shattering.

"Set off!"

Elder Qi and others quickly flew out of Sky Tiger City, heading towards the nearby forests and valleys.

Yang Xiao said to Mr. Master and Xing Zhe:

"Xing Zhe, since you're a guest, shouldn't you at least give me a gift?"

Xing Zhe laughed and replied:

"Don't worry, between Guo Jianglong and the pangolin, who do you want me to deal with?"

Yang Xiao pointed at Mr. Master and said:

"Is your illness cured?"

Mr. Master chuckled softly,

"After such a long recuperation, I'm completely healed."

"Great, Guo Jianglong and the pangolin are left to you two, and the two hundred thousand guards they brought are left to me,

Set off!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiao's figure flashed and flew towards the distant sky.

Mr. Master and Xing Zhe also let out a long cry and soared into the sky.

The guests present hesitated for a moment, then flew out as well, wanting to see with their own eyes how Yang Xiao would break the alliance of Guo Jianglong and Ba Tianhu.

These guests were representatives of temporarily independent cities, and in their hearts, they very much hoped that Yang Xiao would be defeated,

In this way, they wouldn't have to submit to Yang Xiao.
