Chapter 1323: A Past Joke
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To Lu Shu, this was simply a practice stage. Any wrong moves could be accepted. Most importantly, before he finished lighting up the sixth level of nebula, he did not need to worry about being a.s.sa.s.sinated.
He only had to worry about Qing Kong and the Blood Devils who had reached the master realm. If the evil intention of G.o.d Lu wanted to break through to the realm of the King of G.o.ds, he would have to absorb Qing Kong.
But Qing Kong would also think of a way. The old Blood Devil would know that if he allowed the evil intention of G.o.d Lu to advance to the realm of the King of G.o.ds, ten of him would not be able to face him. Thus, Qing Kong definitely wanted to kill Lu Shu and foil his plans.
If Lu Shu had not returned and if the evil intention of G.o.d Lu had not revealed his plans, Qing Kong could continue waiting. He would have plenty of time to wait until the North Region was filled with Blood Devils. Then, he would occupy the world.
At that time, not only would the North Region be occupied, the entire Luniverse would be turned into a world of demons.
Of course, the evil intention of G.o.d Lu probably knew about this. Thus, he decided to stop waiting.
The ma.s.sacre continued. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers mastered their roles quickly, as they did not want Lu Shu to continuously save them.
Although this was a form of honor, it was now wartime!
When Mark returned to the wall and continued to fight, the others only had the time to crack a few jokes in between killing the enemies. “The hero is back!”
But close after, they were engrossed in an intense fight. Feelings were not needed in a war.
Very quickly, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers became used to how the Blood Devils fought. At this moment, they realized that there was not much to the Blood Devils. They simply had to be more cautious when fighting the Rank Four Blood Devils in the vanguard troops. It was like playing a game.
They only had to ensure that they completely killed the Blood Devils. If not, they would launch a counterattack before they died!
Just as they were growing excited, Li Liang poured a bucket of cold water over their heads. He laughed coldly through the communication channel, “This is nothing. Do you see the countless Blood Devils behind them? Even if you kill one with one strike, you will long be exhausted before you killed them all!”
Everyone looked towards the mountains, which were lit up by the moonlight. Li Liang was right. There were far too many Blood Devils before them.
They did not need to be wary of the claws and teeth of the Blood Devils. They had to be wary of their numbers!
A large number of low-leveled Blood Devils rushed forward just to waste the energy of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. While they fought and defended the city, victory would definitely not be decided on the first day.
The people in the inner city were making meals. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers were split into three groups. Li Liang knew that the war would be very tough. Thus, he could not allow his troops to be fatigued. While there were people fighting, there were also people resting.
If they were an ordinary army, they would not be able to do so. Their line of defense would have been broken through by the Blood Devils long ago.
Only the Imperial Dragon Soldiers could do so.
The slaves from the wealthy families were the ones making meals in the inner city. When there were not enough people, even their masters had to help out. When did the masters of wealthy families do such things?
But there were people from the Imperial Dragon Soldiers in charge of supervising them. These people were shrewd people who had been carefully selected by Li Liang to prevent them from being cheated by the wealthy families.
Lu Shu had provided the ingredients from the Seal of Lands, as Chaos was not particularly interested in these grains. It was only interested in weapons. Thus, the grains were spared.
But these wealthy families had many tricks up their sleeves. They still had to keep their guard up. Anyone who entered the kitchen would be stripped naked and searched. They also had to put on new clothes to prevent anyone from bringing in poison.
The masters of the wealthy families were stripped naked and searched. They had never imagined that they would face such humiliation.
But they were not deliberately being humiliated. This was a realistic need. Furthermore, Lu Shu had offered a large amount of refresher fruits for the chefs to include in their meals.
This time, the refresher fruits were not used to increase their apt.i.tude. Instead, they were used to recover their energy. Lu Shu remembered that Lu Xiaoyu ate a refresher fruit for the first time when she had a fever. After she ate the fruit, she fully recovered. She had even regained her energy.
At first, Li Liang was worried that they were too desperate and risky. Later on, he realized that everyone had silently accepted this reality. They did not overreact.
One of the masters sighed as he chopped carrots. “Do you remember the joke that went around when the Wei Wu Army first appeared?”
Some masters, who were peeling potatoes, looked up. “What joke?”
“Back then, an aristocrat from the South Region ordered his slave to find the Wei Wu Army. He said that he would provide for Lu Shu. He asked Lu Shu… the King of G.o.ds what he would be able to offer in exchange,” said the master.
“I remember this story…” The master of the Song family was dumbfounded. “In the end, Lu… the King of G.o.ds said, send money to the King Lu Mountain and he would be able to become his adopted son…”
“Thinking about it now, many people missed this opportunity.” The master who was peeling carrots sighed.
“From Song Lingxu’s distress, +666!”
“From…”
Everyone was silent. The master of the Song family, Song Lingxu, laughed bitterly. “That was probably the peak of that master’s life. He almost became the adopted son of the King of G.o.ds… the adopted son of the King of G.o.ds would definitely not need to peel potatoes…”
The fight continued after night fell and all the way until dawn broke. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers who had taken over were energetic, but gradually, they could no longer take it.
When they were replaced, they immediately wanted to lean against the wall and sleep. But they could not sleep yet. Everyone was forced by Zhang Weiyu to eat the food that was mixed with refresher fruit!
If they did not eat the refresher fruits, they would only be able to regain a bit of their energy after sleeping. But with the refresher fruits, they would be able to go back into battle after one or two hours of rest.
It was the same in the Sword Hut. They had to eat!
When Lu Shu took out the refresher fruits, he was afraid that he would incur losses. But now, the rate at which he earned distress points grew faster! No matter whether it was the people the Sword Hut or Wen Zaifou had killed, all the distress points went to Lu Shu. Everyone knew that this war had been waged to kill Lu Shu. They had died because of Lu Shu!
Lu Shu stood on the city wall and calmly looked at the bodies flying around. He watched as the Blood Devils died one by one.
The bodies of the Blood Devils flew over from several kilometers away. It was as if they could build a bridge up the city wall with their bodies. Lu Shu stood on the city wall. Around him were shouts of killing, panting, and screams of pain.
When everyone started to feel fatigued, injuries occurred among the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. When Rank Two experts were fatigued, even Rank Four Blood Devils could injure them.
But the war had not ended. No one could collapse. No one knew when the war would end either.
At that moment, there was an explosion from behind the Blood Devil army. To Lu Shu’s shock, he saw two iron-clad puppets killing from behind!
With this, the Blood Devil army did not have any new combat power entering the battlefield!
When the sun rose, the first batch of Blood Devil troops started to retreat!
Lu Shu sighed softly. He looked at the rising sun and said, “Once we are done killing the rest of the Blood Devils, take the opportunity to rest. They will come back. That will be the toughest period.”
