Chapter 615: Flood of Bronze
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Even Lu Shu, who was on the front line, had changed into the bronze armor as protection against potential injuries. Although the people of the sea could barely inflict any fatal harm on him, he would rather not be wounded at all. Seeing that w.a.n.g Xu’s team was retreating in horror and shock, Lu Shu removed his helmet and continued his chase. “Don’t run! We are friendly forces!”
“… Wow!” w.a.n.g Xu exclaimed as Lu Shu revealed his face.
“From w.a.n.g Xiao’s distress, +199!”
“Don’t be fooled, brothers! They are not enemies!” w.a.n.g Xu quickly shouted, “Our fundraising worked! Hurry up and kill the enemies with the 42nd Battalion!”
Instantly the morale was boosted. They once doubted the effectiveness of the fundraising but now it really worked!
Under w.a.n.g Xu’s leaders.h.i.+p, the 43rd Battalion charged forward, pus.h.i.+ng the retreating line of defense back to the coastline. Everyone was in high spirits!
Speaking of which, this was an exciting era. It was so many men’s dream to fight on the battlefield. Yet, it might not be so for the females because not every girl had the luck to be led by someone like Lu Xiaoyu.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Xu realized something was off. Why did the 42nd Battalion seem less aggressive as before? And how did they get their bronze armor?!
In the next instant, he was dumbfounded to see how Lu Shu’s team members dragged the immobilized fighters of the sea into the crowd and stripped them all…
And then, they put on the bronze armor themselves!
“What kind of weird strategy is that?!” w.a.n.g Xu stared in disbelief.
No one else had given second thoughts about their armor since it would disappear together with the dead soldiers!
Indeed, only Lu Shu could devise such an ingenious idea, and only he was strong enough to allow his team members the time of removing their enemies’ armor before they regained their combat abilities.
Regardless, the 43rd Battalion was grateful for the 42nd Battalion’s help. They would have been doomed when Cheng Qiuqiao and other a.s.sistance forces arrived.
At this moment, Lu Shu’s movement quickened again. Like the G.o.d of War, he paralyzed three soldiers of the sea in the blink of an eye, looking invincible.
“Impressive!” w.a.n.g Xu yelled excitedly.
The other members of the 43rd Battalion shouted together with him. As they fought on bravely, they also paid attention to the situation at Lu Shu’s side.
“Since the 42nd Battalion could defeat the people of the sea, we can do it too!” w.a.n.g Xu roared buoyantly.
Yet, at this very moment, the 42nd Battalion started to retreat!
“What the heck! Don’t go, my friends!” w.a.n.g Xu shouted.
Each of the 42nd Battalion team members lugged a soldier of the sea by its ankle, returning to their own territory without hesitation…
It was because Lu Shu felt that the original fighting strategy was too inefficient, and it would be better to immobilize more enemies in one go for his people to do their own job.
As a result, everyone in his team was now clad in a full suit of bronze armor. Not only so, they had more then ten extra sets…
Lu Shu was unsatisfied yet. “Let’s go and get more armor! Be careful, everyone! I saw some of the soldiers being hit to death before their armor was removed! Don’t let it happen again!”
The 42nd Battalion suddenly realized that their goal had drifted further and further away from that of the other battalions…
Before the 43rd Battalion could figure out a solution, the flood of bronze had returned again, employing the same old techniques…
“They are b.l.o.o.d.y unique on this Safety Island.” w.a.n.g Xu sighed as Lu Shu led his team away again…
The battle lasted for a whole three hours. This time, the 43rd Battalion had received useful help, as the intrusion of the 42nd Battalion could always disrupt their enemies’ formation to buy them some time.
Therefore, after the end of the battle, w.a.n.g Xu brought his team to convey their grat.i.tude to the 42nd Battalion.
Meanwhile, at the line of defense of the 42nd Battalion, everyone was happily chatting. They had not removed their bronze armor, seeming ready to defend against the people of the sea anytime.
Beside them piled up hundreds of sets of bronze armor…
Lu Shu’s eyes brightened up at the sight of w.a.n.g Xu. “Welcome, Captain w.a.n.g. I have a business deal to discuss with you.”
w.a.n.g Xu swallowed his saliva nervously. “Let me guess. You are selling your bronze armor…”
“Haha, smart!” Lu Shu was delighted. How convenient it was to negotiate with smart people! He was reluctant to blatantly ask them for money, but selling goods seemed like a viable alternative.
“500,000 bucks per set. No bargain but you can pay using deposit first. How about that? Not expensive at all, right? IOU works too, of course. But only you have the privilege for that.” Lu Shu grinned. He had learned from Mo Chengkong that his good friend, w.a.n.g Xu, was from a rich family!
w.a.n.g Xu knew that it was a reasonable price. Moreover, bronze armor could be used to redeem for cultivation techniques. However, under such tense circ.u.mstances, this man had already started his own business… What a big difference!
“20 sets. IOU,” w.a.n.g Xu said, clenching his teeth.
Lu Shu sighed in distress and talked to Mo Chengkong, “I thought he was better than that…”
w.a.n.g Xu bit his gum. What did rich people hate the most? When others thought they did not have that much money! “30 sets!”
“Deal!”
After merely ten minutes, a few Daoyuan Cla.s.s students clad in bronze armor started advertising for this new way of protection from battalion to battalion. The atmosphere on the Safety Island appeared to have changed all so suddenly…
