Chapter 944: Brother!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Black Feather Army was very busy. Since they had retreated, they had to leave without hesitation. This was what an elite army was supposed to do. They did not drag on.
Thus, before the aristocrat armies could react, the Black Feather Army started to advance in the direction of Nangeng City and Yun An City overnight. The leader of the Black Feather Army was also worried that the aristocrat armies would catch up to them. Thus, during the day, they still acted as if they were ready to fight to their deaths. But at night, they made their escape.
The moment the leader of the Black Feather Army stepped out of Wei Bei Pass, he felt refreshed. He happily looked up at the scouts from the gambling dens, who were hiding in the sky. He had won this bet.
He had bet a total of ten million notes, but received 23.91 million notes. He felt that he had never earned money so easily in his entire life.
He would have to go back to the West Region and receive his punishment from Duanmu Huangqi. He could no longer hold on to his position as leader of the Black Feather Army. But he had graduated from the Imperial College and had many connections. Thus, Duanmu Huangqi would not do much to him.
Li Liang, the leader of the Black Feather Army, already planned to retire from his public duties and return to the palace as his house was there. Thus, this retreat made him feel as if he had been relieved of a heavy load.
Li Liang rode his horse and advanced. After traveling for half a day, he suddenly turned around and looked at Wei Bei Pass, which was almost out of sight. He chuckled. If the two armies had not been pitted against each other, he would feel that the Wei Wu Army was rather interesting. They might even become friends to drink and chat merrily with.
Li Liang called the Wei Wu Army the monster army in private. It was not because they were made up of monsters. It was because they were adept at causing evil.
To be honest, Li Liang had fought battles for many years. Victory or defeat was a common thing for him. It was rather interesting that a monster army like the Wei Wu Army had suddenly appeared.
But all these had nothing to do with him now. Perhaps he would run into a commander called Lu Shu at the palace. He would invite him for a drink. Perhaps Lu Shu would no longer be a commander, but a leader. Perhaps he would become part of the nobility.
These were all possible.
But what did this have to do with Li Liang? He was about to become a rich man in the palace.
But at that moment, there was rumble coming from Li Liang’s left. It was as if there was an army chasing them!
The next moment, Li Liang saw the flag that said “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune.” He gasped. “What in the world…”
The Wei Wu Army was rushing over, as if they were not afraid of a large army. They seemed even faster than the Black Feather Army!
Li Liang shouted to his subordinates behind him, “Speed up!”
But the Wei Wu Army’s overall strength was not something that the Black Feather Army could deal with. The 5000 people from the Wei Wu Army stopped in front of the 100 thousand men-strong Black Feather Army in no time. Lu Shu expressionlessly looked at Li Liang. “Go back!”
Li Liang was confused.
“From Li Liang’s distress, +666!”
He had taken great pains to bring the Black Feather Army out, but now he had to go back? Li Liang was dumbstruck. He looked at Lu Shu. “Are you crazy? You are an army from the North Region, and yet you do things like this…”
“We are not an army from the North Region.” Lu Shu gestured at the flag behind him. “we are bandits. Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune.”
The slogan of “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune” had spread through the palace. Needless to say, this slogan was very rare. The other slogans were threatening, like that of the Long Meng Army, the Red Flame Army, and the Black Feather Army.
But now, they had made their private feelings into a slogan…
But Lu Shu did not care. He felt that the slogan “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune” had the flavor of ideals and dreams. He felt that being passionate was very egoistic.
But Lu Shu had no choice either. Once the Black Feather Army retreated, he would have to face the aristocrat armies, as well as the interrogation from the North Region…
How could he let this pass?
What about the battle that everyone had decided to fight? Why did all of you secretly run away? No leaving! Whoever left first would have to fight him!
Lu Shu thought he had overworked for the sake of the Wei Wu Army. He had even thought about this method. But he had no choice. He was being forced by life! The Black Feather Army could not leave if the Wei Wu Army wanted to wait in safety until the Sword Hut selections began…
In reality, Lu Shu did not know that the Lu family in Liu Li Lane had taken him under his wing. Of course, even if he knew, he would not have any feelings towards them. He knew clearly that he did not belong in this Luniverse. He also knew that there was no such thing as unconditional love in this world. He did not want to become part of the Lu family from Liu Li Lane. He wanted to lead his own army and decide his own fate!
Li Liang was silent. “So the 5000 of you want to block the Black Feather Army? Are you thinking too much?”
“No,” Lu Shu smiled. “We have no intention of fighting you now. But you will take about one month to return to the West Region. Take a guess. How many of your soldiers are the Wei Wu Army able to kill in this period of time?”
Li Liang knew very clearly that with the Wei Wu Army’s mobility, they did not have any good solutions if the Wei Wu Army chased and killed them from behind. In short, the Wei Wu Army was far too strong in terms of combat power.
If he brought the army back in one piece, he could safely become a rich man. But if the army had not been able to advance north and had lost half of their men, it would be very difficult for him to do so.”
Li Liang had an impulse. He wanted to kill someone. Just one moment ago, he had felt that he could talk and drink with this young man. But this heroic ideal was about to be destroyed by reality…
It was about to break into pieces.
But Li Liang did not dare to move as he knew that there were a few Rank One experts glaring ferociously at him. Those Rank One experts were all silently protecting the young man.
If he did not kill them, but instead angered this group of crazy people, it would not be considered a loss.
In the moonlight, Li Liang considered his gains and losses. He unintentionally looked at the flag that said “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune”. Suddenly, he said, “If you let us leave, I will give you three million notes!”
Lu Shu paused for two seconds. Then, he said, “Brother!”
Li Liang was confused.
“From Li Liang’s distress, +666!”
Fate was a mysterious thing. This was what Li Liang thought.
Just one moment ago, he had wanted to make friends with Lu Shu. Now, not only had they become friends, they had become brothers! Li Liang had never imagined being brothers with someone in this way…
So your slogan truly reflected the inner desires of the Wei Wu Army…
Li Liang did not doubt that if he took out five million notes, Lu Shu would create an alliance with him…
He was puzzled. So this kind of person led an army like the Wei Wu Army?
But Lu Shu suddenly said, “Brother! There will be difficulties and obstacles on this journey. We will escort you there!”
Li Liang was speechless. What escort? Evidently, you did not want to stay in the North Region…
