Chapter 1260: Be Direct!

Lu Shu felt that he was extremely brilliant. He did not kill anyone initially because he wanted to speed up the progress with attacking the city. If he killed everyone beforehand, he would have one less source of income of distress points.
When Duanmu Huangqi attacked Earth, he had brought along many soldiers from the Black Feather Army garrisoned across his territory. Although Liujian Pa.s.s had insufficient manpower, the other fortresses had more than enough. Lu Shu did not kill all of them because he felt that they were not worth his time and effort.
However, things were different now. Since he wanted to open up a new world, it was worth making the trip back to gather those soldiers even if there were only a few hundred of them left.
The city leader and his subordinates did not expect Lu Shu to view them as his personal a.s.sets.
There were no threats to their lives but n.o.body knew when they could exit. To Lu Shu, these people were his enemies and if given the chance he a.s.sumed they would fight to their deaths.
Moreover, Lu Shu thought about how he might come across two rivers and countless plants on his way back.
The spies followed behind the Wei Wu Army. They had already figured out the secret to successfully follow the Wei Wu Army and that was to stay 30 kilometers away from them.
For some reason, any spy who crossed this distance would disappear mysteriously.
These spies never suspected the mice hidden around them were on patrol. That was because all the armies they knew of had a powerful team of scouts.
The spies thought that the scouts of the Wei Wu Army were powerful and mysterious!
They followed them the entire way and without exception, among all the fortresses that the Wei Wu Army pa.s.sed by, the villagers were not disturbed but all of the soldiers who guarded the city disappeared.
They disappeared without a trace.
That was because Lu Shu became more cunning. He told Lu Xiaoyu to drag the guards down into the ground and he then placed them into the celestial map. None of the people in the outside world knew what had happened to them.
This made others fear him even more. Some people said that the Wei Wu Army was like a beast who ate soldiers!
Any intelligent person would know that this rumour was ridiculous. However, there were many stupid people who believed in it anyway.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu hoped that there were more of these stupid people. That was because he was the one who told Zhang Weiyu to spread the rumor…
Initially, Lu Shu wanted Liu Yizhao to do it but gave up eventually. Liu Yizhao was too handsome and when he sat in the restaurant and spoke formally, he was very convincing. That was his unique advantage.
If he was not part of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, Liu Yizhao would not need to worry about living a good life. However, he chose to be a scout for Lu Shu.
In the past, Zhang Weiyu said that Liu Yizhao might be the person who was most likely to advance to the Master Realm. However, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers recently realized that Liu Yizhao had a very pure mindset and was extremely happy with his lot in life. When he was out scouting, he often walked around in a daze.
He would even sometimes run around barefoot with his hair down.
Li Heitan said that when he called Liu Yizhao back to eat dinner a few days ago, Liu Yizhao was sitting on the cliff and looking into the sky. His white s.h.i.+rt made him look like a handsome deity.
Of course, that was why Lu Shu completely left Liu Yizhao alone. He thought that it would be excellent if Liu Yizhao could find happiness like that.
Therefore, Lu Shu did not ask Liu Yizhao to spread the news and try to invoke fear of him.
Fear was the most important source of income of Lu Shu’s distress points. Another source would be the slaves in the celestial map.
Now, in the star of the fourth nebula where it was the best suited for living, humans lived in settlements. Lu Shu intentionally placed the wealthy families in different sectors and the slaves were placed separately too.
As the star was huge, they were unable to meet up. However, to Lu Shu’s surprise, these groups of people were rather hardworking…
In the past, Lu Shu had to plant the plants he threw into the celestial map. Now, he could just throw them in front of the people.
The few rivers which Lu Shu uprooted from the Luniverse gradually formed its own water system in the star. However, Lu Shu was not satisfied as the living creatures had yet to form a real civilization.
Everyday, a large amount of distress points were produced for Lu Shu. Although the amount was gradually decreasing, Lu Shu continued to put people into the map…
As the days pa.s.sed by, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers who had almost reached the West Region Capital, once again found themselves outside Liujian Pa.s.s.
The soldiers of the wealthy families were on their way to the West Region. However, at this moment, they received the news that the Wei Wu Army had returned…
Everyone was confused after hearing the news. Were they still planning to fight?
These people were not allies and every wealthy family had their own commander. There were over ten commanders amongst an army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, the suspicion they had against each other was very strong.
As the situation was unclear, n.o.body dared to do anything rash. After all, everyone had followed the imperial edict and reached the West Region, so they decided to act according to the situation!
“What exactly is the Wei Wu Army doing?” The commander of the Sun family was Sun Xunwen’s seventh brother and he had been waiting quite some time for Sun Zhongyang to report back. However, Sun Zhongyang suddenly disappeared…
Several hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the army were getting into formation a hundred miles away from the northern borders of the West Region. They looked as though they were a.s.sisting the West Region but they were actually planning to sit this one out and reap the spoils later.
However, the only problem was whether Lu Shu would come back…
At this moment, Lu Shu had already brought the Imperial Dragon Soldiers back to the Liujian Pa.s.s. If not for Zhang Weiyu who was sure that n.o.body was alive under the rubble, Lu Shu might have asked them to dig through the rubble too…
Lu Shu suddenly froze. That was because a special name quickly went past his screen of distress points.
However, the name was too special and caused Lu Shu to refer to the income records immediately to ensure that he did not see wrongly.
Indeed, he did not see wrongly.
“From Duanmu Huangqi’s distress, +666!”
Duanmu Huangqi had not supplied distress points to Lu Shu in a while. It seemed that Duanmu Huangqi had suffered from the fact that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had yet to attack the capital in the West Region…
Could he be any clearer?
