Chapter 1061: A Chance of Victory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Wei Wu Army behind Lu Shu surged forth. They had 1000 people, and were up against 5000. There seemed to be a disparity in strength, but it was different when they actually fought.
On one hand, the Wei Wu Army was very tight. They were waiting for the time to kill. Furthermore, the Black Feather Army did not expect the Wei Wu Army to get so close to them.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Black Feather Army were attacking the Wei Wu Army. Even if the Wei Wu Army did not wear any magical armor, they still had their defenses up. They could not be caught.
The Wei Wu Army did not need any strategy to jump about in the Black Feather Army military camp. They were very calm.
The commander who had asked Lu Shu to kill himself stood still. Lu Shu calmly looked at him. The commander did not dare to move at all, as he knew who was in front of him.
This young man was able to kill 12 patrons. He was nothing to him. Although this commander was rather strong, he was nowhere near the patrons.
Even if he was on par with them, he was only one person…
He was in despair. It was as if he had met a master. He was full of helplessness.
So this was the pressure of the strongest person besides the masters!
Lu Shu’s mask slowly changed, revealing his original appearance. Suddenly, he said with bitter hatred, “What’s wrong with you? How could you run away when facing a strong enemy? Now, are you asking an impressive commander to kill himself? I feel bad for him!”
The commander of the Black Feather Army was dumbfounded when he heard this. This was his first time hearing an enemy feeling sorry for them…
But Lu Shu really did feel bad!
Lu Shu had been out since the morning. After being laughed at by Lu Xiaoyu, he had spent an entire day in the mountains before returning to the campsite. Even their commander could not recognize him. Now, he was asked to kill himself…
Would you be able to endure this? Of course not!
Lu Shu and the commander stood and looked at each other. Wails came from behind the commander. His soldiers were dying one by one. They could not launch a counterattack.
The commander was about to cry as well. If you wanted to kill us, at least say something,
At that moment, the larger troops from the Wei Wu Army had rushed over as well. When Lu Shu ordered them to kill, some mice from the mice army had sent the information back.
Lu Shu had not attacked because he was waiting for Lu Xiaoyu to take this commander’s spirit. He would only be able to plan once he had concrete information.
Lu Xiaoyu slowly walked to the entrance of the military camp. She observed the scene. “Did you fail again?”
Lu Shu panicked. “What do you mean by again? Why do you have to use that word?”
“Don’t you know why I use that word?” Lu Xiaoyu was not being kind.
She was completely disinterested in any of Lu Shu’s plans. Furthermore, she was extremely sure that Lu Shu would definitely fail.
This could not even be explained for science. This fell under metaphysics.
Lu Shu looked at the commander of the Black Feather Army. Then, he said to Lu Xiaoyu, “We have gathered another Rank One for us to use. Furthermore, as the commander, he should know some cla.s.sified information.”
The commander of the Black Feather Army was dumbfounded. What did he mean by “gathered another Rank One for us to use?” Did you think that highly of yourselves? What would he be used for?
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the commander of the Black Feather Army. There was some dislike in her eyes. “Fine.”
The commander of the Black Feather Army was dead.
To Lu Shu, there was no need for long battles if they had the upper hand. They would deal with it in a clear-cut manner.
Now, although Lu Xiaoyu’s three other spirits were only Rank Ones, she had used the soul pearl to raise them to peak Rank One. Earlier, when Lu Shu had killed the 12 patrons, Lu Xiaoyu did not let their spirits go to waste. She fed them to the Bishop, Anthony, and Johnson.
Thus, the strength of these three spirits surpa.s.sed that of typical Rank Ones. They would be able to win with ease even in a one-on-one battle with the patrons.
Even if they were very strong, and even if Anthony’s strength had surpa.s.sed that of the patrons, the problem was, they would not be able to advance to the master realm.
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu understood that if they wanted to advance their spirits to the master cla.s.s, they had to use the natural laws from the masters. It was not up to them to decide.
The natural law of a master was like an entrance pa.s.s for a soul. They could not be opportunistic.
Lu Shu had started to think about how to give Lu Xiaoyu the spirit of a master. Would over 60 Rank Ones in black armor be able to defeat a master?
When Lu Shu thought about this, he became excited.
He looked at Lu Xiaoyu. “Do you have any useful information?”
Lu Xiaoyu calmly said, “This guy has over 30 concubines…”
Lu Shu was speechless. “Why do you care about this? Tell me something more useful.”
“The s.p.a.ce pathway is over 100 kilometers away. I have obtained its exact location,” said Lu Xiaoyu. “But it is very tightly guarded. Duanmu Huangqi might have arrived there, including the two remaining masters under him.”
Lu Shu felt that this was slightly troublesome. If there were only one or two masters, he would still dare to attack them head-on. After all, they had the black armor with them. Furthermore, they had the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Why not try to defeat one or two masters?
The Rank Three soldiers of the sea could rely on their black armor and face the Puppet Masters!
But if Duanmu Huangqi was around, he would hesitate. It was not that Lu Shu did not dare to risk his life. He felt that under this circ.u.mstance, if the s.p.a.ce pathway opened up, it would be better for the Wei Wu Army and Nie Ting to work together.
For some reason, Lu Shu had great confidence in Nie Ting. Even if Duanmu Huangqi was a Lord of Heaven, Lu Shu did not think that Nie Ting would not be able to defeat Duanmu Huangqi.
He was a one in six billion genius. Although Duanmu Huangqi had advanced to the master realm a long time ago, this did not mean that he was much stronger. Some people had lived longer than Duanmu Huangqi, but they only had the strength of a Rank One.
Lu Shu had come here because he hoped to work together with Nie Ting when the s.p.a.ce pathway opened up once again. Then, the situation would be perfect. Once the Wei Wu Army was able to work with Nie Ting and get rid of the masters in the West Region, the rest of the Black Feather Army would be a breeze to deal with.
But would Duanmu Huangqi give him a chance to do so? Lu Shu did not know. No one knew.
“Do you have the exact time when the s.p.a.ce pathway will open up?” Lu Shu asked suddenly.
“It seems as if they don’t know how often the pathway opens up either. They only know that the rate is getting faster and faster. It will open up within a month, but they do not know the exact timing either,” said Lu Xiaoyu. “Do you have any plans?”
Lu Shu said, “You might not believe me, but I have a plan…”
The ground in the Black Feather Army military camp had been renewed by Anthony. The blood and corpses were buried underground.
It was as if the Black Feather Army had not fought at all. The soldiers of the Black Feather Army inside the camp had been replaced with soldiers from the Wei Wu Army.
Lu Shu’s plan was that since he had planned to replace the Black Feather Army, why not do it in one go?
He felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan. After all, his current ident.i.ty was that of a Rank One commander. You could not just ask your Rank One commander to kill himself. That would be destroying your own empire!
If you did not treasure Rank Twos because there was an abundance of them in the Luniverse, it would still make sense. After all, even if one died, they could be easily replaced. The problem was, Rank Ones were not that common!
Lu Shu stood at the entrance of the military camp. He was melancholic. He could stand being humiliated by Lu Xiaoyu. But he was sad when he thought about the boastful remark he made to Li Heitan. Even someone as rigid as Li Heitan could doubt his plans.
At that moment, hors.e.m.e.n suddenly rushed over to the military camp. Lu Shu looked at the black flag they were holding. They were the messengers of the Black Feather Army!
Lu Shu stood up straight. Before the messengers could approach him, he roared, “I have an order! Head towards Wanshe Plains at once! We cannot afford to delay!”
As he spoke, the messenger threw a black reel at Lu Shu. Then, he headed towards the other direction, probably to notify the rest of the Black Feather Army.
Lu Shu picked up the reel. It was a doc.u.ment ordering the soldiers to arrive in Wanshe Plains within one day.
He stopped that messenger. “Wait!”
Before the messenger could go any further, he was dumbfounded. He turned around. “Yes?”
The messenger was dead.
Lu Shu now had the time to think about how he would deal with this. They had been looking for the Wei Wu Army, but suddenly, they were to gather at Wanshe Plains.
“Something major must have happened. Is the s.p.a.ce pathway going to open?” Lu Shu turned around and said to the entire Wei Wu Army, “Let’s go!”
The Wei Wu Army soldier behind him rapidly got on their horses. They followed Lu Shu and headed towards Wanshe Plains.
Lu Shu had been waiting for a very long time. It was finally time.
If someone asked him what he desired most now, he would definitely reply with, “To go home!”
This friends and comrades were on Earth. Now, he was going to go to war for them.
To be honest, Lu Shu had never expected himself to turn out this way. In the past, he had often thought for himself. He had even thought that those who selflessly sacrificed themselves for others were foolish.
The first time he stood below the flag and took an oath, he felt that the pa.s.sion was amusing. But now, he understood that there were some things that could not be measured just by its value.
Needless to say, this feeling was very interesting!
Behind, Lu Shu, Li Heitan asked curiously, “Great Lord, what is happening? Where are we going?”
“Let me ask you something. There is good food to eat and fun things to do in my hometown. Are you willing to follow me?” Lu Shu turned and asked. He calmly looked at the Wei Wu Army soldiers behind him. This was his last time he would let the Wei Wu Army decide.
“We will be anywhere where the Great Lord is,” said Liu Yizhao.
“Sure.” Lu Shu nodded. “Follow me home. But before that, we have to kill some people!”
