“Shut the gates!”

When the major saw what happened, he immediately commanded his men to close the town gates. Although it was just a small town, it was an important place of military affairs so it had very efficient protective measures that could rival large cities.

“Li Yue, the gates are closed. Should we just go back and rest?” Ye Lang just wanted to go back to his room when he saw the closed gates.

If the major heard him, he would’ve been furious! It was obvious Ye Lang did not even take him seriously.

He came and went as he liked- this was Ye Lang’s current attitude.

“How could we go back now? We should just force our way out,” said Li Yue. If she agreed, she wouldn’t be Li Yue, she’d be called Ye Lang.

“Force our way out? That’s not good, it’s illegal.”

“... You want to talk about legalities? What have you done that’s legal? You lied to me, you kidnapped me, was that legal?” her face darkened, growing angrier as she spoke.

“Hey, I’m considering this because of you. It doesn’t matter if what I do is legal, I’m Soaring Sky’s enemy. I don’t need to obey the laws but you’re different. You’re the Imperial City’s Captain of the Guards,” said Ye Lang, wondering what Li Yue was so angry about.

“??” She stopped for a moment, surprised to find that Ye Lang was actually concerned for her.

“You don’t have to think about me. I’m just a person who was kidnapped by you so that means I can’t make my decisions now. Whatever you do won’t affect me,” she said gently.

“Oh, that makes things simple then! Lion, straight ahead!” once he heard her say that, he decided to face the gates head-on. However, it was not going to be easy.

If he were alone, it would’ve been very easy but he now had Li Yue and the most troublesome lion.

There were now hundreds of people between him and the town gates. They were all Muyang Town major’s men, though the final say was still not in his hands.

There were five thousand soldiers in this town, only five hundred of them were under him. There was the colonel, the lieutenant general and the general. The general commanded the five thousand people, he was the one with the highest authority here.

Within the Soaring Sky Empire, military ranks were as such:

Captain-5: 5 people, Captain-10: 20 people, Captain-100: 100 people.

The major commanded 500 people, Lieutenant:1000, Colonel: 3000, Lieutenant-General: 5000, General: 10,000.

There were then the Senior General, Marshal and Grand Marshal. These did not have a fixed number of people under them, they moved about the leadership position of the different armies.

As for Li Yue’s Captain of the Guard position, that was part of another system. That was a branch directly under the empress, different from the military.

It was impressive there was a Lieutenant-General here to control five thousand soldiers. This meant that Muyang Town was an important place.

“Sigh, Lion, why can’t you fly?” Ye Lang patted its head regretfully. When he saw so many people around them, he suddenly thought about flying out.
