The black armor suits advanced down the streets, and the ashes of Martin Xuānfēng's body had begun to settle. Both the leaders of the Xuānfēng Sect and the Rebel Highlanders had been killed, leaving no individual or power within Leyan City that could resist Ian.
[Residents of Leyan City, please do not panic. I am Ian, the Empire-appointed new Lord of Leyan]
As he walked slowly, a somewhat distorted but clear enough voice came through the loudspeaker, "[The rebels and those who created chaos have been killed. The recent turmoil in Leyan City will end, but now, I require everyone to stay at home in peace until noon tomorrow when a grain transport convoy from Nauman City will arrive]"
[Those who want food, who want to eat their fill and live a peaceful life, I command you to return home immediately. If, after one hour, there are still people wandering the streets without a valid reason, they will all be killed as remnants of the rebellion, let this be known]"
