Chapter 942: Committed SinsTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The leader of the Black Feather Army had spent the last two days reflecting. He was here to fight a battle. They had won so many cities, but how did they start gambling in secret?!
At first, the leader of the Black Feather Army did not believe the Wei Wu Army. But Liu Yizhao’s words convinced him. “The Wei Wu Army wants to earn big money in the future. If we want to earn big money, we will keep our word. We will definitely not skin the sheep. Do you understand what trust means? Once we have this foundational trust, everyone will be able to collaborate in the future without any worries.”
The leader of the Black Feather Army thought, had the Wei Wu Army started to plan their collaboration with them?
But this did not form the basis for the Black Feather Army’s trust in the Wei Wu Army. After all, they had worked with the gambling dens and killed so many people. What gave them the right to be trusted?
But after the leader of the Black Feather Army expressed his concerns, Liu Yizhao took out an invoice. The invoice stated that the Wei Wu Army would not deploy their forces and was worth 2 million notes. This was all of the Wei Wu Army’s savings that Liu Yizhao had saved from the Qing Sai Army.
The leader of the Black Feather Army only trusted Wei Wu Army after this. After that, he thought about it. The Wei Wu Army was very ambitious. They had already started to brand themselves as honest and trustworthy. Would they continue to cooperate with the bookmakers in the gambling dens?
Then, after the Wei Wu Army bought 300 pigs and over 3000 bottles of alcohol from Yun An City, the leader of the Black Feather Army asked his friend to bet another 5 million.
The Wei Wu Army had sent their subordinate to incite them. Evidently, they wanted to celebrate their victory and reward their army. This was a good opportunity for the Black Feather Army. Should they seize this chance to enter the mountains?
The leader of the Black Feather Army thought of this idea, but immediately dismissed the thought. “Are you sure that you will be able to find them if you enter the mountains…”
How would they be able to find such pa.s.sive warriors like them!
At first, Lu Shu wanted Liu Yizhao to find the aristocrats as if he was able to work together with the aristocrats, they might be able to kill the Black Feather Army in the North Region. The Wei Wu Army was originally from the North Region. The Black Feather Army was their enemy.
But the aristocrats were determined to leave the Wei Wu Army aside. Thus, they immediately rejected the Wei Wu Army.
This made Lu Shu angry. If you were not willing to do business with me, that meant that you looked down on me! Thus, he made a deal with the Black Feather Army.
Lu Shu was serious in his business. In the past, when he was earning distress points, he had always focused on sustainable development. He would do the same now.
He might be stuck in this world for some time. Money could be easily earned if trust had been established, right? Who knows? Lu Shu might be able to bring back many local specialties, such as magical stones, armor, weapons, and so on…
But in this war, would the Wei Wu Army really stay in King Lu Mountain and not deploy their troops? Impossible.
The gambling dens bet on whether the Wei Wu Army would deploy their forces and cooperate with the aristocrats in secret.
The latter clause was more important. As long as the Wei Wu Army did not fight the Black Feather Army, it would not be considered a secret collaboration!
Thus, the Wei Wu Army could fight the aristocrats brazenly…
But the Wei Wu Army and the aristocrats shared the North Region. If they brazenly fought the aristocrats and were questioned by the Lord of Heaven, what would they do?
Thus, a group of bandits called Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune suddenly appeared north of Wei Bei Pa.s.s. They attacked the supplies and rations that the aristocrats possessed from all directions. They were rampant and the aristocrat armies all suffered heavy losses…
When this group of bandits appeared, the aristocrats were speechless. Of course, they knew that this was the Wei Wu Army. But they did not have the Wei Wu Army armor. The aristocrats were not able to capture them either. Thus, they did not have any evidence.
Furthermore, these bandits all concealed their faces. Their aim was only the supplies and rations. They did not do anything else.
The first time the bandits attacked, they b.u.mped into the group led by Li Heitan and Liu Yizhao, whose faces had been concealed. When the commander of the aristocrat army saw them, he panicked. “You Wei Wu Army soldiers…”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Heitan panicked as well. “Don’t tarnish our reputation! We are bandits. Our ideal is to become bandits. If you destroy our ideal, we will attack!”
The commander was speechless.
This piece of information was relayed to the palace. Many people knew that there was an internal battle between the Wei Wu Army and the aristocrats, but they did not have any evidence.
After all, this had nothing to do with their bets. No one paid much attention.
But the people in the palace all sighed with emotion. The fight between the North Region and the West Region was far too exciting. As they fought, even a group of bandits called Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune had made a move. How mysterious…
Could the Wei Wu Army be more decent? Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune? Were you serious?
Fine. This time, the entire Luniverse knew that the Wei Wu Army loved money.
Lu Shu felt that they had even given up on the slogan of the Azure Dragon Village. What could they do?
In this harsh environment, the aristocrat army had reached Wei Bei Pa.s.s. But this process made them realize that the Black Feather Army was not weak. They just did not know what to do against the Wei Wu Army…
Only the heavens knew how the Wei Wu Army became this strong!
The aristocrats felt as if they were suffocating. Once this war was over, they would go to the Lord of Heaven and report the Wei Wu Army. They had caused a mess and affected the war experience!
Lu Shu observed the battle in the distance from the mountain. He thought about it and said, “Although we have changed our slogan to Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune, it’s hard to ensure that Wen Zaifou will not look into this. We have to think of a retreat route for the Wei Wu Army.”
Zhang Weiyu was speechless. “It’s rare that even you know how stupid this plan is.”
Lu Shu said, “Rapid and substantial changes happen during war. Which leader is certain that their strategy is definitely correct?”
“But others will change once they know their mistake. What about you… let go of me!”
“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Store the army provisions and valuable items. If this war ends before the Sword Hut selection, we will have to leave King Lu Mountain. Of course, if the Sword Hut selection happen before that, it will not be a problem. They will not dare to provoke someone from the Sword Hut.”
“If the Sword Hut selection has not started by the time the war ends, where will we go?” Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously. “Rations are not a problem now. We have enough to eat for five years…”
Lu Shu was shocked. “Did we steal so many?”
Lu Xiaoyu silently nodded her head. “The aristocrat army has started to live a frugal lifestyle since last week…”
“If the war ends before the Sword Hut selection, we will fight our way to the West Region and come back when the Sword Hut selection begins,” said Lu Shu calmly.
No one expected that the Wei Wu Army had started to make plans for their counterattack. They had committed too many sins. It seemed as if the North Region could no longer take it…
