Chapter 1051: New Life of the Wei Wu Army
After Lu Shu finished giving out 63 black armor and over 5000 tridents, he felt satisfied. For some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction when the items he had been storing for so long were finally useful in battle.
Yes. He had to use what he had saved. Saving brought about the delight of having gains, but being able to employ limited resources where they were needed most brought about another sense of achievement. Lu Shu felt that he was slowly learning how to serve.
In the past, he was scared of poverty. He wanted to take everything, because he wanted to be prepared against the rest of the world.
But throughout the process of training, he had met many people and experienced many things. He had slowly reconciled with the world.
Perhaps this was what everyone had to face in the end. The loneliness that a young man possessed while treating the world as his enemy had to give way to responsibility.
When the Wei Wu Army charged into the palace without regard for their own safety for Lu Shu’s sake, and when the Wei Wu Army went past the limestone road, Lu Shu had made a decision.
He looked at the delighted Wei Wu Army. But before he could say anything, Liu Yizhao suddenly weakly interrupted him. “Great Lord, what about my armor? I have advanced to Rank One as well…”
“Hm?” Lu Shu awkwardly and politely smiled. “Ha ha ha, have you forgotten? I wanted to leave you to the last as a solemn act…”
Thus, there should be 64 Rank One experts in the Wei Wu Army, including Lu Xiaoyu… Lu Shu was puzzled. His mathematics scores were good. Why was he always wrong when adding numbers above ten?!
Lu Shu felt that it was not his responsibility. He was not wrong. It was the world that was at fault…
Liu Yizhao earnestly said, “Thank you, Great Lord.”
Li Heitan instantly chimed in. “Great Lord, I want the black armor as well…”
“No.” Lu Shu rejected him. “There is a limited number of black armor. Those who advance to Rank One first will receive the armor. Furthermore, there are only 100 sets of the armor!”
The rest of the Wei Wu Army were restless. The Great Lord meant that… whoever first advanced to Rank One first would be able to receive the black armor. They even had to compete for their position!
Almost 100 people in the Wei Wu Army had advanced to Rank Two. Advancing to Rank One would not be impossible.
But there was a problem. There was only a limited number of armor. First come first served!
Lu Shu was about to continue speaking, but saw Li Heitan and the rest sit on the ground. They began to train. Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Stand up, all of you! This will not do. Go forth at once! If you want to train, you have to pick a good location as well!”
Li Heitan and the rest stood up and brushed the dirt off their bodies…
The black armor seemed very valiant. It was evidently a rare item.
Furthermore, they had followed the Great Lord for a long time. If they were able to wear the armor that represented the core of the Wei Wu Army, how wonderful would it be?
Before the various forces from the palace could arrive, the Wei Wu Army had started to advance to the north. They wanted to first reach Nangeng City for repair and maintenance. Then, they would head to the West Region!
The palace obtained information very quickly from the cities along the way. The Wei Wu Army was returning to Nangeng City. Everyone could finally heave a sigh of relief. It was as if the amount of mischief caused in the palace had dropped once Lu Shu was gone.
Hm? Why did everyone have a misconception? Duanmu Huangqi was the one behind this, right? Why did it feel like Lu Shu was the one behind everything…
What was this?
Zhang Weiyu rode on a horse while wearing his new armor. He looked back at the lofty palace.
He had told Lu Shu to go to the Wei Wu Army, but Lu Shu had become the commander of the Wei Wu Army. When Lu Shu said that he wanted to go to the palace, Zhang Weiyu had started to look forward to what Lu Shu was capable of. Lu Shu had dyed an entire stretch of the palace red with blood, and done something that no one had dared to do for 1000 years…
Fate was a strange thing. Zhang Weiyu felt that there would be many rare and odd events waiting for him in the future.
It was as if the curtains were being pulled to reveal an even greater era.
No. Zhang Weiyu felt that the metaphor of curtains being pulled was not very accurate. Lu Shu had burned the curtains, revealing the ferocious scene on stage.
He had suggested to Lu Shu that while they were marching, he should not take out the black armor. It would be better for them to keep them. Furthermore, Zhang Weiyu and the rest had to hide within the Wei Wu Army to prevent being discovered by spies along the way.
Since Zhang Weiyu and the rest had recovered their strength, they had also begun to regain their youthful appearances. If someone realized this, they would realize that it was not a coincidence for so many Imperial Palace Soldiers to be gathered together.
Furthermore, they had to use their most effective attack where they needed it most.
Lu Shu accepted this suggestion. He also felt that concealing them would be better and more stable…
Little Fury’s army of mice returned to the mountains. To the army of mice, they belonged in the mountains. Furthermore, the mice dispersed themselves around the Wei Wu Army, forming a natural barrier.
While they were marching, Lu Shu realized that Li Heitan and the rest maintained their training position while on their horses. It was as if everyone was determined to wear the black armor!
At first, while the Wei Wu Army marched, some people accidentally fell from their horses. Such things could still happen in the Wei Wu Army, who was experienced in battle. When Lu Shu saw this, his expression darkened.
But very quickly, Li Heitan and the rest got used to this rhythm.
After all, back then when the Azure Study Group had been pushed by Zhang Weiyu, they had to train while carrying a ma.s.sive boulder on their backs. Riding a horse was already very comfortable. They did not have to do homework either…
When they set up camp halfway, Lu Shu occasionally ran to the kitchen. The soldiers in charge of cooking were slightly puzzled. Why did the Great Lord come so often?
They did not think much of it then. When they ate, they realized that the soup they had cooked was slightly strange. Every time they drank the soup, a warmth seeped into their limbs and bones!
Zhang Weiyu and the rest were most familiar with this, as it was the refresher fruit they had eaten! Thus, the moment, they drank the soup, they knew that Lu Shu had included refresher fruits in the soup!
Wait. This seemed familiar, but Zhang Weiyu was not too sure…
There were some things where the more you expected of it, the more you did not dare to make a conclusion.
Before this, some people in the Wei Wu Army did not like to drink soup. But as they returned to Nangeng City, Lu Shu ordered everyone to drink the soup.
They were not foolish. This order was slightly excessive. The moment they drank the soup, they knew about the benefits of the soup. That day, there was not enough soup to go around. Some people had to be deployed to distribute the soup!
But when they started to train, they realized that their progress of training was much faster than before! It would add up as the days pa.s.sed. If they drank the soup everyday, how far would their training progress in the future?
It was as if everyone in the Wei Wu Army was on fire. They were full of pa.s.sion for training. They did not need the supervision of anyone!
Zhang Weiyu suddenly felt as if the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were about to appear in the world again.
