Chapter 631: The Attack of the People Hidden in the Mountains! Part 2
Liu Zhi was excited as he elaborated on the Great Mountains.
It was a pity that what he had presented was not as detailed as what Marshal w.a.n.g had shared with him previously. His story even had a lot of storytelling exaggeration.
He exclaimed there were 46 territory lords in the Origin Territory, each with 500 powerful soldiers capable of conquering and fighting very well. Even when faced with enemies from foreign territories, they would be able to defend themselves easily.
He claimed that the industrial facilities were perfected and capable of ma.s.s-producing guns and ammunition. and that they would officially launch an attack outside the mountains after winter.
In short, after speaking for so long, it could be summed up in one word—
Bullsh*t!
“I’ve had enough of this talk. Just tell me the key points!”
It was already late into the night, but they had yet to have dinner.
Su Mo frowned and slammed one finger on the table, making a loud bang.
Liu Zhi, who stood before him, went from excited to terrified within seconds and realized he was too excited. Embarra.s.sed, he immediately changed the topic.
…
“Almighty Su, you don’t have to worry. Origin Territory was very powerful in the past, but now they have separated, and their alliances have collapsed, making their situation very unfavorable.
“The sudden riot within the territory turned the place into a slaughterhouse, and it’s very likely that getting through the winter is going to be difficult for them!”
“Riot?” Su Mo whispered, and his frowned brows loosened up as he heard a topic of interest.
Liu Zhi nodded. “Yes, the riot was why we escaped and stumbled upon this mountain. We decided to stay on this mountain as it had excellent terrain to resist the disaster. Otherwise, we would still be mingling around trying to get by in Origin Territory.”
“Continue,” Su Mo uttered softly.
The story was starting to match up with Marshal w.a.n.g’s version of the events.
Marshal w.a.n.g stated that he was forced to leave because of the riot, and his family had been kidnapped when he returned. His only choice was to leave and seek help from the outside world.
He was clueless about what had caused the riot because he was injured inside the ruins.
Right now, the Liu brothers could complete the puzzle.
Liu Zhi immediately turned toward his brother, Liu Jie, with an overjoyed expression after seeing Su Mo’s urging to continue.
He was evidently more interested in the Origin Territory than the previous information.
The success of their escape depended on whether he could use the right words at that moment.
Making Su Mo happy with the right words would at least allow them to keep their lives and plan their future, even if it meant they had to go through a ruthless beating first.
Meanwhile, making Su Mo angry by saying the wrong words, not only would they not be able to think about the future, they might not even get through the night.
Liu Zhi deliberated and carefully planned his words, then nodded silently to Liu Jie.
He swallowed his saliva, cleared his chaotic thoughts in his mind, and cautiously uttered one word.
“Ruins!
“The riot happened because of ruins. Origin Territory would not have gone through this catastrophe if it weren’t for that day, that night! That ruin!”
Seemingly recalling a terrifying memory, Liu Jie’s face was full of fear.
However, he met Su Mo’s threatening eyes disguised as encouragement and hurriedly continued to tell the story.
