Chapter 1247: Unlucky Bandits
A living h.e.l.l was created from the first war that occurred when the Imperial Dragon Soldiers returned. Zhang Weiyu and the rest looked over. The blood of others was splashed on their bodies. They walked forward. When they stepped on the ground, their feet sank into a mixture of soil and blood.
Li Liang arrived in front of Lu Shu. He said, “Great Lord, we can end this.”
Lu Shu looked at the scene of devastation in front of him. Suddenly, he sighed. “You have killed too many people.”
The corpses of the slave owners were distorted as they lay on the ground. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers had been very ferocious in killing them. They had been too cruel. The smell of blood exceeded their imagination.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao stood among the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Suddenly, they felt that the ambitious had died for their desires. This was probably the fate of the slave owners.
“Great Lord, you are here to kill people. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers are supposed to follow you through this mountain of corpses and blood to let everyone know who the real king is.” Li Liang calmly said, “This time, you didn’t even need to attack. We have killed these hopeless soldiers for you.”
Lu Shu smiled. “Relax. I am not as soft-hearted as you imagine me to be. I will fight alongside you. It’s not like I have never killed people before.”
Li Liang did not say anything else. He was aware that Lu Shu knew better than him on what should and should not be done. He did not need to do anything else.
Furthermore, they did not know that at that moment, the s.p.a.ce pathway had not closed. Thus, the soldiers from the Heavenly Network on the Longmen Fortress had not gone over. However, they saw the river of blood flowing through the s.p.a.ce pathway and into the Earth.
The red and sticky blood flowed over. It was as if the flow would never end. The river of blood had flowed to the entrance of the Longmen Fortress!
The soldiers of the Heavenly Network were shocked. “How many people did the Ninth Heavenly King and the rest kill? What kind of cruel war would produce such a scene?”
“From the strength of the Wei Wu Army, 90% of this blood is probably from their enemies. They probably killed over ten thousand people in less than an hour,” said someone else in shock.
Everyone knew that Lu Shu and the rest had gone there to fight. All of them had killed people before, but this river of blood came too quickly. Lu Shu and the rest had just entered the Luniverse!
This scene caused the soldiers of the Heavenly Network to form a misconception of the Luniverse. In their eyes, the Luniverse was like h.e.l.l.
“Do you remember?” Someone suddenly said, “When we were eating with the Wei Wu Army in the canteen, someone said that the Ninth Heavenly King was like the king of h.e.l.l.”
“I think something like that happened…”
Till today, the Luniverse was still bewildering to the people on Earth. No one had actually gone there. Thus, they did not know the truth.
At that moment, Lu Shu waved his arms and shouted. Then, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers charged towards Nangeng City like a ma.s.sive dragon. They pa.s.sed through the mountain roads in their heavy army. It was as if a ma.s.sive tank was advancing forward. Even the mountain roads were flattened.
Not long after, the civilians in Nangeng City displayed expressions of fear. They heard the thunderous sound of footsteps. Each footstep seemed to be in sync with their heartbeat. It seemed as if they were about to suffocate.
The city guard panicked. Then, he saw the flag on their helmets. Escape poverty and make a fortune!
Someone shouted, “The Wei Wu Army is back!”
Everyone in the city turned back and looked to the west, where Lu Shu and the rest were coming from. They had been hiding here for a long time. They did not expect them to return one day!
Various factors had forced them to wait here, but everyone felt that they could no longer take it. When they were impatient, they were very bored. They wished for the Wei Wu Army to hurry up and return. But when the Wei Wu Army actually returned, they were slightly scared.
On the other hand, the civilians in Nangeng City welcomed the Wei Wu Army.
Earlier, when the Wei Wu Army was around, it was peaceful. The city had become cleaner. The people started to flourish. No one dared to rebel. Even the bandits in the North Region had been forced to other regions. After all, only one army would dare to eliminate the bandits in the palace…
But after the Wei Wu Army left, the bandits were back. The soap factory also stopped operations, as no one knew about burning alkali. Back then, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu concealed this key process.
Thus, the traveling businessmen did not like coming. Furthermore, bandits started to rebel. They did not live as comfortably.
Now, the Wei Wu Army had returned. No matter what others said, the civilians in Nangeng City felt that this was a good thing!
Everyone ran towards the city wall of Nangeng City. They wanted to see whether the Wei Wu Army was actually back.
When Lu Shu and the rest appeared in their field of vision, everyone saw the dried blood on their bodies. They looked like veins on a demon. They were full of murderous intent!
At this moment, the civilians in Nangeng City suddenly realized that besides being the owners of Nangeng City and earning money from everyone, they were an army that was able to kill people in the palace!
“Where did they come from?” Someone asked in shock. “How many people have they killed?”
“I heard that many slave owners were gathered in the fields because the s.p.a.ce pathway is there. Were they all killed by the Wei Wu Army?”
“Are you sure that that is the Wei Wu Army?”
“You can’t be wrong with that flag. No one else would carry such a flag…”
“You’re right…”
The fact that the Wei Wu Army had returned had started to rapidly spread outside the city. The news had even reached the palace!
This piece of news was like a ma.s.sive stone that fell into a calm ocean, causing a large wave to form!
The wealthy families in the palace held meetings to discuss their strategy. They did not wish to see signs of turmoil. As top wealthy families, any sign of disturbance could represent the fall of a wealthy family.
The boss of the Song family gambling den, Zhao Shuai, enjoyed an increase of social status in his family. It was not that the Song family wanted to rely on Lu Shu. They treated Xiao Mingze and Zhao Shuai well as they had built friendly relations with Lu Shu. If the Song family wanted to take sides, Xiao Mingze and Zhao Shuai would be the best people to contact Lu Shu.
But the wealthy families in the palace did not suffer the most. Those who suffered the most were the bandits who moved back to the North Region after the Wei Wu Army disappeared.
They had received news that the Wei Wu Army had left. They had to compete with other bandits to occupy territory. It was not as satisfying as doing so in their home territory. Thus, when the Wei Wu Army disappeared, they immediately returned.
But what was happening now? They had just returned, but so had they!
Overnight, the bandits along the border of the North Region escaped once again… how did this make sense?!
