The city gates of Nuta City were wide open to Yan Xing.
Even the City Defense Force had a hard time during the war. Count Theodore was out of funds, and the soldiers' salaries had been overdue for a month. The quality of the troops' food had also significantly decreased. Everything was dedicated to supporting the war effort on the battlefields, leading to low morale among the Nuta City Defense Forces.
Fortunately, the long-delayed salaries were finally distributed—two months' worth paid out at once. The soldiers who received Grain Tickets from the Eternal Grain Bank were overjoyed. For days, they had enviously watched employees of the Eternal Commerce Guild carrying large bags of food home, and many had even considered working for Lord Yan Xing themselves.
With money in hand, the morale of the Nuta City Defense Forces was significantly boosted.
Upon seeing Yan Xing enter the city with his Guard Squad, they lined up, saluted, and shouted, "Lord Yan Xing, generous and merciful!"
