Chapter 945: Three Rounds of Attack!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Liang and Lu Shu discussed whether they should protect the Black Feather Army. According to Lu Shu, everyone was brothers. As brothers, they ought to protect each other as they might meet danger on their way.
Li Liang, on the other hand, felt that the most dangerous aspect on their way back to the west region was none other than the Wei Wu Army…
After a long pause, Li Liang said, “I suggest all of you to guard the Wei Bei Pass now so you can prevent the aristocrats from entering. After Wen Zaifou, your Lord of Heaven, completes his training, the Wei Wu Army will be credited with the name of killing the Black Feather Army.”
Lu Shu shook his head. “No no no, the name is definitely not as important as protecting our brother!”
Lu Shu was laughing internally. Everyone knew how the army of the aristocrats viewed the Wei Wu Army. After the Black Feather Army left, the army of the aristocrats would probably target the Wei Wu Army immediately.
Lu Shu would probably not give up on the idea of “protecting” them. Li Liang thought that Lu Shu was a man that would keep his word and therefore endured it as he wanted to return to the west region safely.
However, something that angered Li Liang happened on the next day. As expected, the Wei Wu Army started to play tricks.
In fact, Lu Shu, who was leading the Wei Wu Army, did not follow closely behind the Black Feather Army. Instead, he appeared occasionally. Then, when the Black Feather Army was caught off guard, Lu Shu suddenly infiltrated the Black Feather Army from the back with the Wei Wu Army.
Li Liang’s heart sank. Indeed, the Wei Wu Army attacked! The so-called brotherhood was all fake!
All fake!
Meanwhile, at this moment, the chief officers of the gambling dens who were situated near the Black Feather Army exchanged gazes and passed the message back. The Song gambling den was the first to update the news. As the Black Feather Army was unable to match up to the Wei Wu Army, they retreated and the Wei Wu Army chased after them!
A new bet was made. How many soldiers of the Wei Wu Army would die after infiltrating the Black Feather Army?
It had been one month since the day where the palace bled. The gamblers and the aristocrats were willing to bet again.
By right, the aristocrats received their pocket money every month. Therefore, the gambling dens thought that it was a time where everyone had money again…
Therefore, Zhao Shuai discussed the matter with Lu Shu. Since the battle was ending, they had to find a way to earn some money.
The Wei Wu Army had enough armor. However, the Song gambling den proposed another deal — to give Lu Shu 20 percent of the shares of one of the branches of the Song gambling den, as well as a huge manor that was worth millions of dollars.
Lu Shu would decide on how to win this bet. Lu Shu was slightly worried. They had cheated the money of the gamblers in the palace last month, would they be so quick to jump back and start gambling again?
Zhao Shuai told him that gamblers would not remember it and told him to rest assured.
Lu Shu was fixed on heading to the palace. Alright! He would do it!
Meanwhile, the gamblers of the palace had learnt their lesson. Everyone placed their bets on “no deaths” and “1 to 100 deaths”.
Everyone felt that the Wei Wu Army was invincible and powerful. Moreover, the commander of the Wei Wu Army, Lu Shu, protected his soldiers well. Therefore, there should not be any casualties amongst the Wei Wu Army.
However, what disappointed them was the fact that the earnings for “no death” was very low. Even if they won, they would not win much.
Meanwhile, the gambling den was updating the battle situation based on real-time information. The Wei Wu Army had attacked the Black Feather Army thrice!
The gamblers in the palace smiled. The Wei Wu Army did not disappoint them indeed!
Suddenly, all the gambling dens in the palace started a new bet. How many soldiers of the Black Feather Army would die?
It was the same bet as the Wei Wu Army in the past. However, the subject was on the Black Feather Army instead.
Everyone thought that since the Wei Wu Army had attacked three times, there would definitely be countless casualties. Therefore, a large sum of money went to this bet.
When Lu Shu led the Wei Wu Army to attack the Black Feather Army again, all of the soldiers of the Black Feather Army, including Li Liang, stood rooted to the ground in shock as they watched the Wei Wu Army leave…
The chief officers of the gambling dens reported the live situation. There was zero deaths from the Wei Wu Army.
When this news arrived at the palace, the gamblers rejoiced. It was equivalent to giving them money, none of the soldiers in the Wei Wu Army died, hahaha!
At this moment, many aristocrats started praising the Wei Wu Army, “The spirit of the Wei Wu Army is commendable. It has been a long time since there was a powerful army like the Wei Wu Army in the Luniverse. Although the number of soldiers are quite little, they are not weak at all!”
“Indeed, the commander of the Wei Wu Army is also a talented person. If he ever visits the palace, we have to treat him beer!”
“I wonder how many casualties are there for the Black Feather Army?”
At this moment, the number of casualties of the Black Feather Army was updated. Everyone swarmed into the gambling den. “How many soldiers of the Black Feather Army died?”
Meanwhile, the people at the outer circle realized that something was amiss. The people in the inner circle froze. Someone asked, “What happened?”
Someone turned and mumbled, “How is this possible? None of the soldiers of the Black Feather Army died…”
Everyone was stunned. They were just commenting about how powerful the Wei Wu Army was earlier on as they have attacked the Black Feather Army thrice. In the end, none of the soldiers from the Black Feather Army died?
If this happened to other armies, it would have been a bloodbath. Why did the Wei Wu Army act as though they were just fooling around?
So the Wei Wu Army attacked three times for fun? What the f*ck!
Earlier on, people offered to treat Lu Shu to drinks when he arrived at the palace. Now, everyone was wondering if Lu Shu still dared to go to the palace. If he did, they would definitely gang up and kill him…
At this moment, the Black Feather Army was also confused. Initially, they panicked when the Wei Wu Army attacked. However, after the Wei Wu Army arrived, everyone was shouting for people to give way…
Before Lu Shu led the army for the attack, he was extremely worried that Li Heitan could not control his attack and would accidentally kill others. After all, nobody could read Li Heitan’s mind.
Therefore, Lu Shu specially informed Li Heitan, “Do not kill anyone, they paid us.”
Li Heitan replied, “Got it!”
Therefore, during these three attacks, Li Heitan did not kill anyone…
When the Wei Wu Army attacked, Li Liang knew what had happened when he heard that nobody died…
Li Liang suddenly felt emotional. The Wei Wu Army earned money so easily… Why didn’t he think of earning money with this method?!
However, the Wei Wu Army had their speciality when making money. If they did not become famous after winning despite being a weak team, none of the aristocrats and the bosses of the gambling dens would know who they were.
Therefore, money could not be made by just any Tom, Dick or Harry.
