Lu Yu accepted this title. With such a title in his hand, the Ying family would have to think twice if they want to make a move on him.

“These are the weapons and defensive gear bestowed on the Count of Western Conquest. As for the actual conferment of title, you still have to make a trip to the capital and attend the conferment ceremony.” Yao Xianming said with a beaming face.

Lu Yu put away the reward received this time into his interspatial ring.

This grand welcome ceremony was still in progress. The whole Gamma Military Zone received a collective first class commendation, as well as a large replenishment of strategic battle supplies.

“Hahaha… Old Xu, it's been a long time. I miss you to death. Do you mind if I stay here for a day or two?” After the ceremony, Yao Xianming patted Xu Qingguo's shoulder and laughed heartily.

Xu Qingguo's eyelids twitched momentarily, but he still agreed in the end.

“Old Xu, don't worry. You can give me all the evidence about the Ying family's crimes, and I will present it to the top when I return to the capital.” As they chatted, Yao Xianming brought up the topic of the Ying family.

The Ying family was one of the four great families and had deep roots in the whole Flame Country. It was naturally very difficult to strike them a harsh blow with just this matter. However, it was not a problem to deliberately embarrass the Ying family brutally and make them restrain themselves.

The two men wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders, looking nothing like the senior officers they were. If outsiders had seen them like that, they wouldn't be able to believe their eyes.

And at this moment, Lu Yu opened up the storage in his interspatial ring eagerly. The brilliant golden light shone directly into his eyes.

Armor, helmet, combat boots, vambraces… This full set of S-class defense gear made Lu Yu's eyes light up brightly.

On the other side, there was a long sword about three feet three inches long. Along the whole narrow sword blade, an air of sharpness was circulating faintly, giving off a swift and fierce feeling.

[Nimbus Dragon Sword]

[Level: S-class]

[Introduction: Made from the Nimbus Dragon Stones, it is exceedingly sharp. It possesses a very powerful ability to break through armor and inflict serious injuries.]

Looking at the introduction in front of him, Lu Yu was quite satisfied. Although he was not a frequent user of swords, this was nonetheless an S-class equipment.

[Ironheart Armor]

[Level: S-class]

[Introduction: A protective armor made from an extremely thin and light material. After putting on this armor, the user's defensive strength is greatly increased. At the same time, it also augments the user's strength to a certain extent.]

[Silver Dragon Helmet]

[Level: S-class]

[Introduction: A helmet made from an extremely thin and light material. While increasing the user's defensive strength, it also augments the user's mental power to a certain extent at the same time.]

[Black Tortoise Vambrace]

[Level: S-classJ

[Introduction: A vambrace made from an extremely thin and light material. While increasing the user's defensive strength, it also augments the user's health vitality to a certain extent at the same time.]

[Soaring Clouds Boots]

[Level: S-class]

[Introduction: A type of combat boots made from an extremely thin and light material. While increasing the user's defensive strength, it also augments the user's speed to a certain extent at the same time.]

Looking at the introduction of this set of defensive gear, Lu Yu's eyes glowed brightly. This was simply a set of super deluxe defensive gear. Each item provided a different attribute enhancement while enhancing the user's defense ability.

With a flash of his thought, this set of armor appeared on Lu Yu's body. That extremely light material felt very comfortable indeed.

After getting a feel of the various enhanced indices brought by this set of defense gear, Lu Yu nodded in great satisfaction and then put the items away in his interspatial ring.

At the same time, the news about the reward from the capital also spread throughout the military zone. The announcement that Lu Yu was conferred the title of Count of Western Conquest caused a massive upheaval in the Gamma Military Zone.

“My God! Advisor Lu has been conferred the title of a count. I'm afraid that in this Gamma Military Zone, there is no one with a higher rank than him except for the Military Lord.”

“That's right. Since that Holy War 70 years ago, there were very few people who were conferred titles of nobility. Advisor Lu managed to get this title of nobility, and it is a well-deserved reward.”

All the cultivators in the military zone were full of envy and covetous yearning. There was no jealousy. In that battle to protect Lunan City, if Lu Yu had not been there to save the day with his herculean effort, Lunan City would have fallen and the entire First Military Unit would also have been wiped out.

Immediately, the news spread like wildfire and eventually spread to Lunan City, which was in the midst of rebuilding.

When the civilians of Lunan City heard that Lu Yu was made a count and the whole Lunan City had become his fiefdom, they were full of disbelief and shock, and then they were overwhelmed with rapturous joy.

“Mr. Lu is now the Count of Western Conquest, and our place has become his fiefdom.”

“What's the point of still calling him Mr. Lu? From now on we're going to change our habits and address him as the Count.”

It was thought that the federal government would immediately appoint a new city lord to come to Lunan City to take up this post, but who could guarantee that this new city lord would not be like the previous guy, Yan Hong, who squeezed them dry with his voracious appetite.

In the end, before long everyone heard this piece of news. The civilians of Lunan City approved of this decision wholeheartedly. All of a sudden, every family and household became filled with a festive mood as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Lu Yu was the hero of Lunan City. They believed that after this place became Lu Yu's fiefdom, Lu Yu would definitely recuperate with the people and not commit any offense against the people.

“Although our Lunan City has become the fiefdom of the Count of Western Conquest, in theory, this territory still belongs to Flame Country. I'd bet it won't be long before a new city lord is sent here.”

“What are you afraid of? I don't believe the newly arrived city lord dares to make trouble in the territory of the Count of Western Conquest.”

The people of Lunan City were gossiping excitedly here and there, while those various powerful families were in a complete panic.

The previous documents to arrest Lu Yu for a trial were also withdrawn. Those two inspectors who came to question Lu Yu disappeared without a trace. There was totally no news aoout mem.

In the blink of an eye, Lunan City had become Lu Yu's territory. These powerful families who once went up against Lu Yu felt that their doomsday had arrived. They spent their days in fear and anxiety, their arrogant air having vanished completely and their tail between their legs.

Some patriarchs of these powerful families chose to uproot their entire clan and relocate to Boulder Rock City or Northern Chill City. They fled from Lunan City overnight.

“Ho! All of you beasts are rushing to escape. Are you afraid that someone will settle the score with you soon?” The civilians of Lunan City immediately noticed the abnormality and blocked the city gates, intercepting all those families that were a step late.

At this moment, the civilians at the city gates and in the streets looked at the various powerful families who had always lorded over them in a high and mighty manner. They resembled homeless stray dogs now, and the civilians looked down at them extremely gleefully. They felt like poor tenant farmers who had overthrown their unscrupulous landlords.

“If you dare to gossip rubbish again, you'd better believe I will kill you all!” When the patriarch of a small family heard these guys who usually groveled at their feet, speak in such a brusque way to his clansmen, he became angry immediately.

“Kill me? I'll see if you have the guts to do that! Brothers, everyone, get them! Block all these guys! They are like the grasshoppers after autumn, which cannot jump for much longer.”

Led by a Martial Master, a group of people surged forward and beat up the patriarch of this small family straightaway.

The clansmen of other families looked at the small family's patriarch getting beaten up and a malicious look flashed across their eyes. In the end, they still held back. Lunan City had now changed to a new dynasty completely, and it was no longer their world..
