When Ding Fan and his group arrived outside the city, hundreds of people had already gathered at the gate. They were members of various families in the city.
"Welcome the new Island Master!"
As Ding Fan approached, the first few hundred people knelt on one knee in salute, acknowledging him. Ding Fan nodded, realizing these families were ready to surrender, recognizing the situation at hand.
"Let's enter the city!"
Ding Fan waved his hand and led the way into Yuexia City, followed closely by those kneeling, forming a large group heading towards the square.
The square, long ago filled with people, waited tensely for Ding Fan's arrival. Though tens of thousands were gathered, there were many samurai in Xu Family Battle Armor among them, yet everyone remained silent, to the point where the sound of a steel needle dropping could be heard.
