Chapter 1066: Sword Energy Like An Endless Sea
War was the most cruel act committed by humans. It took away the lives of people at the fastest rate. The Wei Wu Army did not allow Lu Shu to fight by himself. No matter how strong and fast Lu Shu was at killing, it was insignificant in comparison to the entire war.
The Black Feather Army was solemn, while the red ta.s.sel on the heads of the Wei Wu Army soldiers were like blood.
In the clash between red and black, there was a constant flow of new strength from the Black Feather Army, but the Wei Wu Army did not back down.
Suddenly, the former leader of the Black Feather Army, Li Liang, said to Lu Shu, “The Black Feather Army formation has started to contract. They are trying to minimize their injuries. I think that about 80% of them are about to launch a converging attack on us from behind. Even if they cannot defeat us, they want to use the lives of people to delay us here.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He had thought that the Black Feather Army was on the verge of defeat. Yet, they had a strategy against him?
Needless to say, the Black Feather Army had a staunch willpower that was only second to the Heavenly Network.
Li Liang spoke with confidence. Lu Shu nodded his head. “Tell the brothers behind to be careful.”
Lu Shu had knowledge of himself. Other than the fact that he was not willing to admit the constant failure of his plans, he would never play with the lives of others. Li Liang was the former leader of the Black Feather Army. He understood the Black Feather Army the best.
But at the next moment, Lu Shu and the rest saw a group of Black Feather Army soldiers on the horizon. This time, they were on horses. The moment they appeared in their field of view, they started to charge towards the Wei Wu Army!
The horses were very normal. Earlier, when Lu Shu saw Duanmu Huangqi’s Blazing Cloud Foals, he had asked Yi Qian about them. The people of the West Region specialized in nurturing horses. The horses they nurtured were strong and very fast.
Although their strength was a far cry from that of the Wei Wu Army, if they charged towards the Wei Wu Army, their inertia would be able to badly damage the Wei Wu Army formation. They might even be able to kill some Wei Wu Army soldiers!
It was said that specialized work should be left to the specialists. Lu Shu felt that it had been worth it to save Li Liang. He could even consider allowing Li Liang to take over commanding the Wei Wu Army. After all, Lu Shu was not good at commanding. Zhang Weiyu could not stand the effects of his comrades being killed. Thus, Li Liang was the most suitable person for the job.
It was impossible for there to be no deaths on the battlefield. Even if the Imperial Dragon Soldiers partic.i.p.ated, there would definitely be injuries as well. Zhang Weiyu had wanted to retreat. Lu Shu did not plan on forcing him to partic.i.p.ate. On the contrary, he was planning to help him.
Just like what he had done for Liu Yizhao, he felt that it was best for everyone to be able to do what they wanted to do most. Not everyone was born to fight.
This time, Lu Shu was not rash. Instead, he thought about it. He asked Lu Xiaoyu to summon Anthony.
On one hand, if they were to fight with masters later on, the battlefield would be in the sky. Anthony would be at a disadvantage. Rather than preserving his strength, it would be better to attack now.
On the other hand, when Li Liang faced hors.e.m.e.n like this, they would typically sacrifice some people to alleviate the impact from the hors.e.m.e.n. But this was what he had done in the Black Feather Army. Most commanders would give out cannon fodders when they had no choice. This was the meaning of the cannon fodders.
But the Wei Wu Army was different. No one in the army would become a cannon fodder. If they were to survive, they would survive together. If they were to die, they would die together.
When the hors.e.m.e.n approached them, a wave of dirt suddenly surged from the ground. The wave stretched over a few kilometers. It was like a portion of the Great Wall of China. While the wave surged, Anthony raised its height, turning it into a tsunami!
The wave of dirt charged towards the Black Feather Army, engulfing them in an instant. It was complete chaos!
Dust flew everywhere. Those on horses were able to break through the storm, but when they approached the Wei Wu Army, they were no longer a threat!
Anthony had exhausted all his energy with this move and returned to the black hole to rest. The Wei Wu Army knew that this was Lu Xiaoyu’s method. Suddenly, Zhang Weiyu felt that he knew where Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu’s confidence in facing Duanmu Huangqi had come from.
He could sense that the wave of dirt was only one of Lu Xiaoyu’s many methods. Furthermore, Lu Shu had been preserving his strength from the very beginning!
In reality, Lu Shu had not been preserving his strength. He had just been using money to purchase more skills.
If he did not use these magical swords, he would have to use his other skills.
Lu Shu loved money, but he could put it aside as well.
At that moment, there were waves of energy in the distance. The waves of energy were released in pulses. It was as if a s.p.a.ce was undergoing a transition, and the world was changing.
Duanmu Huangqi and three other masters were in that direction. But all of these were not important. What was important was that his comrades and the way home were there!
Lu Shu remained calm. But suddenly, he headed towards that direction. “Follow me! I want to go home today. Let’s see who dares to stop me!”
The soldiers of the Black Feather Army suddenly realized that Lu Shu seemed to have gone crazy. So the Lu Shu earlier was just the tip of the iceberg!
The swords turned into dust in his hands. The swords in his hands were constantly replaced, but Lu Shu was very calm.
There were times when Lu Shu felt that this world was very strange. The concentration of magical energy had increased. The old era was over. They were living in a new era. Lu Shu had never thought that he would risk his life for anyone!
Lu Shu felt that his life was his. What was more valuable than his own life!
But when that person who loved black bean sauce noodles was facing death, he probably did not regret anything. Lu Shu would not regret anything either.
Lu Shu suddenly felt that the swords were too slow!
Too slow!
Too slow!
Too slow!
The Black Feather Army suddenly saw Lu Shu stop. Even the swords in his hands stopped appearing. It was as if he had used up all his swords.
Lu Shu looked at the crowd of Black Feather Army. His calmness was unprecedented. He suddenly felt that he was very close to the way home.
At this moment, he remembered why that person wanted to eat black bean sauce noodles when he was about to die.
It was the taste of home.
When the Black Feather Army was rejoicing over the fact that Lu Shu had used up his swords, he suddenly saw thousands of swords above their heads. The sword energy was like an endless, raging sea!
There was the sound of thunder above the sea. It was ear-piercing.
Lu Shu laughed. “Everyone who is under the swords today can take revenge on me in the future. I am Lu Shu. I am the Ninth Heavenly King in the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu.”
Lu Xiaoyu, who was still resting underground, had taken back the exhausted Johnson. She calmly said, “They have no future.”
