How were the aristocrats supposed to help the Wei Wu Army find what they had “left” here? They were fighting on the battlefield, but suddenly told them that they had forgotten something here. If it were not for the fact that they wanted to survive, the aristocrats would have rejected them.
After replying to them, the aristocrats wiped the sweat off their heads. They felt as if they had just brushed past the Grim Reaper, but they had another problem. What had Lu Shu left with them? What should they give them?
Li Heitan raised his trident. “Let me tell you, if you have no way of proving that you are an ally, we will not hold back!”
Wu Yan was truly speechless1. He pushed the trident on his head away, turned, and shouted, “Bring my notes here! Hurry up!”
When he turned around, he realized that the trident was back. Li Heitan did not look kind. “Whose notes?”
“… hurry up and bring the notes that the Great Lord left here!”
Li Heitan finally calmed down. That was right. This way, it was not considered stealing…
It would not be good if the news that the Wei Wu Army had stolen money from their allies spread, although Li Heitan felt that it would be more threatening if such news did spread.
Li Heitan looked as a soldier brought a box of notes. “Don’t worry. We will only take what is ours. We will not take more than necessary.”
The aristocrats heaved a sigh of relief. It would be fine as long as they were not particularly greedy. There was no harm working together with the Wei Wu Army. They would feel bad having to take away all of these notes.
Wu Yan looked at Li Heitan and said, “Which boxes have you left behind here?”
Li Heitan thought about it and said, “The Great Lord said that he had left behind two of those boxes.”
“From Wu Yan’s distress, +748!”
“From…”
Zhu Yingtai’s expression darkened. He turned and ordered people to bring another box filled with notes over. Li Heitan was now satisfied. “The Great Lord asked me to tell you, don’t worry. We have the Wei Wu Army in front. The Black Feather Army has no time to trouble you. The Lord of Heaven has allowed you to take ten cities. You can find and sell magical armor to us!”
“Magical armor?” Zhu Yingtai was dumbfounded. He had heard that the Wei Wu Army collected magical armor in the palace and spent a lot of money on them. He asked curiously, “Why don’t you just ask us for the armor?”
Wu Yan gasped in shock. He wanted to cover Zhu Yingtai’s mouth, but he was too late.
Li Heitan was evidently dumbfounded. “That’s right. Why don’t I just ask you for the magical armor? I suddenly remembered that my Great Lord left some magical armor here as well…”
To be honest, Li Heitan did not feel any guilt in playing with these aristocrats. They were the aristocrat armies who had been sent here by Wen Zaifou to trick the Wei Wu Army.
Furthermore, if the Wei Wu Army had not come, the aristocrat armies would all be dead.
The Wei Wu Army waited for Li Heitan below. The aristocrats suddenly felt a sense of desolation. It was not their state of mind. After all, they also knew that the Wei Wu Army had saved them.
They were in a state of desolation as all the magical armor had been taken away by Li Heitan…
The typical soldiers in aristocrat armies did not have magical armor. Only the aristocrats and some core soldiers could use them. It was usually used to conceal their identity.
But now, what use was there concealing themselves…
The Black Feather Army was running away, while the Wei Wu Army was chatting below while they waited for Li Heitan. The aristocrats felt that they had never seen such a strange battlefield in their entire lives.
It was as if the situation would become strange wherever the Wei Wu Army went.
Wu Yan and Zhu Yingtai looked down at the Wei Wu Army, who was happily chatting with Lu Shu. Lu Shu felt their gaze and looked over. Everyone on the city wall suddenly sensed a pressure that they had not felt before.
Then, the Wei Wu Army continued to kill the Black Feather Army. They did not plan on letting the defeated Black Feather Army off so easily.
“Is there a need to be so ferocious?” Zhu Yingtai was slightly doubtful. “There seems to be no need to do so. I feel like they are killing them with all their might.”
Under typical circumstances, for example, when the Black Feather Army was completely defeated, there would not be a need for the winning army to kill all of them. On one hand, since they had won, they still had to preserve their energy. On the other hand, there was no rush to do so.
But the Wei Wu Army was different. The Wei Wu Army was killing with all their might. They were of the stance that they would not let the Black Feather Army off.
The aristocrats on the wall all gasped in shock. The Wei Wu Army was far too ferocious.
They did not know what Lu Shu was thinking. To Lu Shu, if they let off the Black Feather Army this time, they would have more Black Feather Army soldiers to face on Earth.
Thus, to the aristocrats, the Wei Wu Army seemed unusually brutal, even merciless.
There were times when Lu Shu would think about whether the soldiers of the Black Feather Army had families. But since they had stepped on the battlefield, they had no choice!
After the Wei Wu Army had achieved victory, they continued their journey to the west. The stakeholders who had been observing the Wei Wu Army could not understand what the Wei Wu Army was doing at first. After all, they had just returned from the palace. Under the circumstance that Duanmu Huangqi could not fight on the battlefield, no one would be able to kill them in Nangeng City. After all, it would be embarrassing for a master to kill a lowly commander.
Duanmu Huangqi did not go to find Lu Shu, but the Wei Wu Army went to cause trouble for the Black Feather Army. Furthermore, it was likely that Duanmu Huangqi was there as well.
Now, the various stakeholders suddenly realized that the Wei Wu Army was taking revenge against Duanmu Huangqi. Did they have such a bad temper… this was a long-lasting hatred!
They had rushed back to Nangeng City and gone out to take revenge after just one day of rest… after they were done killing the Black Feather Army, they involved their allies as well. They were very efficient…
At that moment, the entire Luniverse knew that Lu Shu bore grudges. Some people even felt that Lu Shu would become an example of bearing grudges in the Luniverse. If you wanted to say that someone bore a grudge, you could describe them as being “very Lu Shu”.
The Black Feather Army in the west must have received the news. Thus, many scouts walked in the mountains, looking for traces of the Wei Wu Army. The Black Feather Army, as a strong power, did not fear the Wei Wu Army. Instead, they wanted to actively seek out the Wei Wu Army and eliminate them.
But it seemed as if the Wei Wu Army had disappeared overnight. No one could find them.
The Wei Wu Army, who had entered the battlefield in a forceful way, suddenly had a change of heart. They were lying in ambush and waiting for the best opportunity, as Lu Shu was preparing for the master of the West Region to suddenly participate in the battle!
The Wei Wu Army would not be able to kill several thousand people in one go. The scouts from the Black Feather Army looked for traces of the Wei Wu Army everywhere. Last night, when the defeated Black Feather Army troops returned, their leader killed over 1000 soldiers as a warning to the rest. This was the punishment for losing.
The bodies of these soldiers were hung at the entrance of the military camp. The scouts of the Black Feather Army had no choice but to put in their all. If they could not find the Wei Wu Army in three days, they would die!
