FATE: Target of Grand Master

"That's right, that's right. Xia Yan, the more experience you gain, the better it will be for managing 'Lighthouse' in the future."

Feng Yan watched the spectacle from the sidelines, not wanting it to get any worse.

"Captain, keep it up! I believe in you!"

Lan Muyan also chimed in at the opportune moment.

Now, everyone around except Xia Yan himself agreed with Siduri's suggestion.

"Well... I'll give it a try."

With the atmosphere already built up to this point, there would be no point in Xia Yan refusing again.

"Yes, thank you for your support, Lord Xia Yan. Ah, no, we should now address you as Governor Xia Yan. We apologize, but the news of the King's death is still being kept secret, and the succession process is quite complicated, so we will address you as the Governor of the Uruk Dynasty."

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Xia Yan, who had just received his official position a second ago, saw the soldiers carrying over stone slabs that were almost piled up into a small mountain.

Siduli picked up one of the pieces and gave Xia Yan a sweet smile.

"Then please begin your work, Governor Xia Yan."

No, it's already starting?

Siduri, are you some kind of devil?

Xia Yan finally understood why Gilgamesh could be so easily subdued by Siduri.

With such a capable secretary, slacking off is simply a pipe dream.

"Wait a moment, Siduri."

Xia Yan immediately interrupted Siduri's attempt to read the contents of the stone tablet, saying, "Before dealing with government affairs, I have two more things to do."

Siduri tilted her head slightly, somewhat confused.

"First of all, now that I am the Governor of Uruk, I should be the person with the highest authority in Uruk, right?"

Siduri nodded.

"Then I demand that they both be included in the Uruk system as well."

Xia Yan immediately pointed to Feng Yan and Lan Muyan.

Good brothers should share both good times and bad. No, I mean, they should share both good times and bad.

Feng Yan and Lan Muyan, who had been enjoying themselves, immediately stopped eating their fruit.

As the saying goes, a smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on. At this moment, the smile has moved from Feng Yan and Lan Muyan's faces to Xia Yan's face.

"Hey, Xia Yan, this is revenge! Definitely revenge!"

"Commander, you can't do this! I'm a good-for-nothing, the kind who can't do anything right."

Xia Yan picked at his ear, completely ignoring the two's complaints, and looked at Xi Duli.

Since Siduliba needed a few more helpers, she naturally smiled and indicated that there was no problem.

Thus, Feng Yan was appointed "Uruk Security Patrol Officer," while Lan Muyan became "Uruk City Defense Commander-in-Chief," and their direct superior was Xia Yan.

After completing the achievement of "If you're a brother, drag him down with you," Xia Yan became serious and inquired about the city's defenses from Morgan.

"I have repaired the city walls that were damaged by the monsters. Currently, only the main gate in the northwest, near the northern front line, is still under attack. Cú Chulainn, Nero, and Euryale are already defending that area. The remaining monsters inside the city are only small and agile types, which Musashi can handle alone."

Morgan's arrangements were flawless, and Xia Yan needed not say anything more.

Just as Xia Yan was about to signal Siduri to begin reciting the stone tablet, he suddenly asked casually, "Morgan, how many magical beasts were attacking the city gate?"

"Not many. To be precise, compared to the number of magical beasts that previously flooded into Uruk City, it's not many, but some will continue to arrive one after another."

Xia Yan fell into deep thought, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Xia Yan!"

Suddenly, Musashi's voice came.

"The monsters inside the city have been cleared out. Also, Cú Chulainn asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that some of the monsters that attacked the city gates appeared to have been wounded before the attack."

These words instantly enlightened Xia Yan.

That makes sense.

Xia Yan turned to Feng Yan and asked, "Old Feng, how's your follower's recovery going?"

Seeing Xia Yan's serious expression, Feng Yan also put away his joking thoughts and said seriously, "Your magic power was greatly depleted earlier, so it's definitely impossible to recover in such a short time. However, if you're going to do some reconnaissance missions, it should be fine."

"That's enough. Old Feng, take your servants and go check out the situation at the North Wall."

Feng Yan seemed to understand Xia Yan's meaning.

"Do you believe there are others besides us resisting the monster attack?"

"That's right. Compared to the number of monsters in Uruk before, the number of monsters that came from the North Wall is far too small. In addition, based on what Cú Chulainn said, I'm sure there are still people fighting monsters near the North Wall. I just don't know if they are Servants or Masters. But in any case, we must unite with any forces we can."

"I understand. I'll set off now."

"Wait a minute. To buy some time, Morgan, would you please accompany Feng Yan and the others?"

Feng Yan and Morgan were both taken aback.

Feng Yan was surprised that Xia Yan trusted him so much that he was even willing to lend him his trump card, Morgan. His respect for Xia Yan grew even more. Morgan felt the same way. He was surprised that Xia Yan would ask him to escort other Masters. Did he really not doubt that Feng Yan had any ulterior motives?

However, neither of them were the type to fuss over things, so since Xia Yan had made a decision, they would naturally follow it.

Thanks to Morgan's flying magic, Feng Yan also experienced what it felt like to be the king of a Lostbelt.

It took Feng Yan less than ten minutes to reach the North Wall.

Viewed from mid-air, the Northern Wall Defense Line, standing between two mountain ranges and dividing the plain into two parts, is truly a "spectacular" sight.

Feng Yan soon discovered that a large number of magical beasts were gathered near a huge hole. However, these magical beasts did not move in an orderly manner toward Uruk, but instead gathered together, forming layers of encirclement.

"There are people inside," Morgan said from the side. "Five people in total. One Master and four Servants."

Feng Yan was taken aback again. Neither he nor his followers had yet seen what was happening inside, but Morgan had already accurately reported the number of people inside.

Besides his superb combat skills, Morgan is also excellent in support and reconnaissance. To say that Feng Yan doesn't envy Xia Yan would be a complete lie.

However, despite his envy, Feng Yan would never betray the "Lighthouse" now that he had joined. Morgan was just too useful, and if he had the chance later, he could try him out with Xia Yan a few more times.

"Since you're a Master, let's not go directly through the sky. Morgan, you stay hidden here for now. I'll take my Servants to scout out the situation. Watch my hand gestures. If I raise my right arm, fire a volley of sniper shots to help me clear out the monsters."

Although he was still thinking about borrowing Morgan from Xia Yan more often in the future, Feng Yan's mouth revealed his next move.

Morgan nodded and placed Feng Yan on the ground.

However, the closer they got, the stranger Feng Yan's expression became.

Because in the center of that encirclement of magical beasts, every now and then several magical beasts would rise into the air with blood mist floating in the air, as if they had been lifted into the air by someone.
