One figure after another entered the great hall, then slowly took their seats.
Luo Rulie also came over and sat in a chair closest to Ye Lin.
"Deputy City Lord, our Eighth City Defense Army has a total of sixteen squads, each overseen by a Dao Fruit Great Luo."
"And these sixteen people are the leaders of their respective squads."
Luo Rulie thoughtfully introduced them to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin sat in the seat of honor and gave a slight nod before lowering his gaze to look over the sixteen of them.
"The City Lord has placed the Eighth City Defense Army under my command. From now on, I am its commander."
"I hear the Eighth City Defense Army's duty is to safeguard the Eighth District. Apart from that, do you have any other responsibilities?"
Sitting in the golden chair, Ye Lin lightly tapped its armrest with his right hand, his expression cold.
"Reporting to the Commander, aside from maintaining peace in the Eighth District, the Eighth City Defense Army is also responsible for catching the rats hiding in the shadows."
Below, a young man seated farthest away rose to his feet and cupped his fists toward Ye Lin in salute before speaking.
"Rats? Explain in detail."
Ye Lin gave a slight nod and asked.
"These rats lurking in the shadows spread rebellious rhetoric all day long, constantly seeking to overthrow Heavenly Capital City and oppose us."
"They possess a supreme treasure capable of even shielding them from the investigations of quasi-saint great powers. The City Lord has ordered the city defense armies of every district to root out these rats hiding in the dark and execute them."
"Just yesterday, I led a team and caught three rats."
Once he finished speaking, the young man looked rather pleased with himself.
