Chapter 1255: Complain
Liujian Pa.s.s was the first dangerous pa.s.s near the West Region, however, breaking through Liujian Pa.s.s did not mean that the road ahead was a wide expanse of flat land. Lu Shu had to continue conquering the cities with the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
He did not have a special interest in conquering the cities, but it was the best way for him to obtain distress points.
At this moment, Lu Shu had commanded Lu Xiaoyu to take over as that was the only way for her to obtain the fruits she deserved. The distress points were awarded in double the amount to Lu Shu. The person who owned the dark map was like a mini version of the celestial map, he could obtain the immense amount of distress points from the celestial map too.
Lu Shu would be able to level up even if he did nothing and left Lu Xiaoyu to kill in the open.
Lu Shu was thinking about what Filth Removal said to him, it seemed as though the person who studied the dark map… had planned for the celestial map to swallow everything of the dark map. That was because the dark map was the last key before opening the celestial map.
However, this was not important for Lu Shu and he did not care about it. At this moment, he only hoped that Lu Xiaoyu could reach the Master Realm so that Lu Xiaoyu could be better at protecting herself.
Although Lu Xiaoyu was one of the most powerful in the Luniverse as she had three masters with her, she was too weak if her original self was only Rank One.
It was not that Rank One was weak but rather because her opponent was too powerful.
The distress points continuously entered through Lu Xiaoyu’s dark map. Lu Shu was calculating how long Lu Xiaoyu needed to reach the Master Realm and continued to attack cities.
One had to admit that it was no wonder that the old King of G.o.ds left the Armor that Shook Mountains on Earth. It was beyond Lu Shu’s imagination, when more than 50 Rank One experts wore the Armor that Shook Mountains, they were invincible.
In fact, Lu Shu thought about a question. The armor of the Flood of Bronze were all given to the Heavenly Network but the old King of G.o.ds definitely did not expect that. Therefore, the bronze armor were things that he left for “himself”.
When Lu Shu entered the Lop Nur remains, he just had to obtain the formation and could obtain the armor for the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and the Imperial Palace Soldiers without purchasing them.
However, Lu Shu did not think that it was wasted if he gave the bronze armor to the Heavenly Network. Or rather, one should not look at this matter in this manner.
Moreover, back then, Lu Shu purchased the magical armor insanely in the Luniverse. There was a limit to the magical armor, if he bought all of them, others would not be able to wear them. At this moment, if people gathered and formed a troop with several tens of thousands of soldiers who wore the magical armor, Lu Shu would face a challenge. At the very least, some of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers would be injured.
One had to admit that this was probably one of the unintentional things that Lu Shu had done… Take away the armor of others so that they could not wear them.
Actually, Zhang Weiyu and the rest had realized this problem. In their impression, there should be many magical weapons in the West Region especially because there should be an elite troop that was fully equipped in the city they had just attacked. Why did they not see anyone when they attacked?
They eventually figured out that it was because Lu Shu had taken away all their armor…
At this moment, Lu Shu said, “I expected this battle to happen and hence made the preparations beforehand!”
Zhang Weiyu and the rest were surprised, “Brilliant, Great Lord!”
When the group of people flattered Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu began to roll her eyes. Before Li Heitan wanted to speak, he was shut up by Coral.
When the Imperial Dragon Soldiers attacked the cities at the rate of one city per day, the intelligence reports were received one by one by the wealthy families of the palace. At this moment, Lu Shu was still unaware of the imperial edict in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. However, even if he had known, he would not bother about it because after all, they were waiting for the person behind-the-scenes to attack.
There was only the possibility for Lu Shu to receive the other party’s clue if they attacked.
However, Sun Zhongyang was anxious. That was because he had calculated the time and distance and realized that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers would reach the West Capital in about 20 days. If he did not reach by then, or did not reach before Lu Shu killed Duanmu Huangqi, it would be insignificant for them to follow Lu Shu.
The meaning and treatment before and after Lu Shu killed Duanmu Huangqi was completely different.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest were rus.h.i.+ng over without a break. Initially, the prince of the palace had gotten dusty and dirty because he was rus.h.i.+ng over.
When they were resting to eat, a slave wanted to help him comb his messy hair but was stopped by Sun Zhongyang. “I want to rush over like this so that he knows my sincerity.” After hearing that, the slave went back to do other things.
Sun Zhongyang opened the map and calculated. “If we continue at this pace, we can probably meet Lu Shu three days earlier than we thought. We still have time.”
For some reason, Sun Zhongyang had never thought that Lu Shu would lose to Duanmu Huangqi. He did not know when he formed this level of trust in Lu Shu. Or rather, it was not trust but rather because the young man was too powerful. Sun Zhongyang would rather follow his father, Sun Xunwen, and believe that Lu Shu would revolutionize this world.
Moreover, the Sun family could not bear the consequences of losing.
Now, Sun Zhongyang was worried that they could not make it on time. Every time they pa.s.sed by a fortress, the person-in-charge of the city from the Sun family would provide new horses for Sun Zhongyang and the soldiers. All of the horses were specially groomed and were at least Rank Two.
They were usually used for intelligence reports. However, since the messenger mirror had been developed, the horses became rather useless. However, the families did not kill the horses and now, they became useful.
Although Sun Zhongyang could fly, most of the people in his group could not.
At this moment, Sun Zhongyang suddenly heard sounds of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the Song family rus.h.i.+ng over.
Not only had the Song family rushed over, the other big families rushed over too. Nine plus five gave 14 families in total. All of them arrived continuously.
Sun Zhongyang was bothered by this. Although the Sun family was not the first to leave the city, they were the fastest and had left the other wealthy families behind. What was happening?
He said calmly, “Why are you guys rus.h.i.+ng?”
This question stumped the other families. They did not expect Sun Zhongyang to be so direct. After a long while, someone said, “I am not sure why we are rus.h.i.+ng too. We just didn’t want to lag behind since you were rus.h.i.+ng.”
Sun Zhongyang was silent.
The wealthy families behaved in such a manner. Although they could not understand what others were planning, they would follow others’ actions.
Sun Zhongyang sneered. He was wondering what excuse he could use to complain to Lu Shu. Now, the thing he was looking for had appeared.
