Chapter 674

These shops were all embedded into the dark gray mountain rock.

Some shops were stacked directly on top of one another.

The shops above even had steps specially carved out…

Occasionally, Su Yang would also see one or two small alleys.

But rather than calling them alleys, it would be more accurate to call them caves.

"The style of Mount Dajiao City—is it not quite interesting?"

Su Yang nodded. "Indeed interesting!"

He raised his head to look at the building overhead—above his head, densely packed, were cannon muzzles!

Liu Yun laughed and said, "Many people who come to Mount Dajiao City still get lost even after living here for half a year. You'll get used to it in the future!"

A young soldier riding a motorcycle asked Su Yang curiously, "Sir, have you just been transferred here?"

Su Yang answered, "That's right, just transferred. I may have to stay in Mount Dajiao City for some time!"

"If you want to tour Mount Dajiao City, I can show you around tomorrow. It just so happens that tomorrow is my day off. I grew up in Mount Dajiao City since I was a child, so I'm very familiar with the place!"

Su Yang glanced at the other party. The other was not tall, his face had sharp, distinct features, his skin was on the darker side, and he had a pair of pitch-black eyes. He looked quite sharp.

"Sure!"

"Young man, you've got a bright future ahead!" Liu Yun laughed from the front, "This Colonel Su Yang is your new City Lord. You should cherish this opportunity."

"What? My lord, the City Lord?"

The young soldier's hand trembled, and the motorcycle jolted.

He quickly stopped the motorcycle, afraid of throwing Su Yang off.

"My lord, the City Lord, I'm sorry. I truly didn't know you were the City Lord!"

"It's fine, go on!" Su Yang said in a flat tone, "I've only just taken office myself."

"Yes!"

The motorcycle kept climbing the slope.

There were many shops coming and going along the road, as well as many beast tamers dressed as mercenaries and adventurers.

However, upon seeing military personnel, these beast tamers would all choose to step aside.

After walking for about ten-odd minutes, the view before Su Yang suddenly opened up.

On the left were buildings constructed within the rock; on the right, beyond the guardrail, was a cliff.

In the extreme distance lay the azure sea and faintly visible mountain ranges.

Su Yang could even see some fierce beasts soaring above the sea at the horizon.

The sea breeze blew in, carrying the scent of the ocean, quite refreshing.

The City Lord's residence was built atop the highest peak of Mount Dajiao.

Su Yang raised his head and could see the lookout platform at the very top, and the Lianbang Army flag fluttering in the sea breeze upon it.

"Sir, we've arrived!"

"Good!" Su Yang hopped off the vehicle and asked casually, "Can you come and show me around this city?"

The young soldier looked at Su Yang in pleasant surprise.

He hadn't expected Su Yang to actually agree!

"I can! Of course I can! It is this subordinate's honor!"

"Mm, nine o'clock tomorrow. Wait for me here!"

"This subordinate will arrive on time without fail!"

The young soldier knew very well that with just one word from Su Yang, his fate for the rest of his life could be changed!

This was a very important opportunity!

"Off you go!"

Su Yang followed Liu Yun into the City Lord's residence and soon met Mount Dajiao City's Vice City Lord, Feng Yuanjie.

Feng Yuanjie was no longer young. He was burly in build, kept a buzz cut, his hair was slightly graying, wrinkles had crept onto his face, and he wore an expression weathered by the elements.

One look at his eyes and you could tell he was a man of rich experience.

Su Yang knew Feng Yuanjie's background—an old soldier as well, a Star-Shine Mid-Grade beast tamer, and like Su Yang, holding the rank of Colonel.

Upon seeing Su Yang, Feng Yuanjie's face broke into a smile: "Very glad to meet you, Colonel Su!"

Feng Yuanjie had known a few days prior that Su Yang was coming.

After obtaining some intelligence on Su Yang and learning his style of doing things, he treated Su Yang very cautiously.

Tripping him up was out of the question.

And sidelining his authority—he wouldn't dare either!

In an internal power struggle, there was not the slightest chance of winning!

Unless he no longer wished to remain in the military!

Su Yang was a super genius whom the General Headquarters held in very high regard.

Even General Qian Hailong had sent someone to instruct him to cooperate well with Su Yang.

Regarding this, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

Before Su Yang's arrival, he had long since ordered people to prepare a residence for Su Yang, ready the servants, and had the office scrubbed thoroughly inside and out twice over.

The only thing Feng Yuanjie worried about was this Su Yang's temper!

A young genius bold enough to give the city guards outside Jingcheng a vicious beating—his temper was probably not mild.

A young man with a bad temper was not easy to serve!

These old bones of his could not withstand the rough treatment!

"Captain Feng, I've heard General Qian mention you. He said you're prudent and steady, and told me to learn well from you after arriving at Mount Dajiao!"

"Did General Qian really say that?"

Feng Yuanjie's smile widened.

Whether or not General Qian had said that, Feng Yuanjie felt Su Yang's temperament wasn't as violent as the rumors claimed.

"Of course!"

Feng Yuanjie quickly ordered: "Deputy Officer Wu, immediately notify all department heads within Mount Dajiao City—Su City Lord has arrived!"
