Chapter 1263: Battle!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu had sent Liu Yizhao to the military campsites to warn the Song family and the Sun family. He was afraid that they would kill the wrong people.
Of course, this was Li Liang’s suggestion. If the Song family and the Sun family were not even willing to retreat 150 kilometers, then their loyalty was a hoax. They would then be treated as enemies.
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers needed to treat the entire world as their enemies in this journey. If the Song family and the Sun family did not leave, then it was fine to kill them.
Of course, Lu Shu indicated that they would kill who they needed to kill, and he would capture who he needed to capture.
A lightning-fast fatal attack was required in this surprise attack that concerned life and death. They would eliminate the wealthy families without even giving them time to breathe.
Thus, Lu Shu could not be stubborn and capture over 100 thousand people into the celestial map. He could only pick up those who survived.
Luckily, he was much stronger than the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. While Zhang Weiyu killed ten people, Lu Shu might have captured 20 people. After all, Lu Shu only had to touch them.
When he shoved creatures into the celestial map, including humans, there would be repulsion between their Spirit Qi and his Spirit Qi. But the repulsion displayed by people below the master realm was negligible to Lu Shu.
The commander of the Li family looked at the flames in despair. He could not understand how the Wei Wu Army had launched a surprise attack.
The Li family had even allocated almost 1000 people as sentries in order to prevent a surprise attack. The guards covered the area surrounding the campsite.
These sentry guards were not to guard against Lu Shu. They were supposed to guard against the other wealthy families!
But when Lu Shu and the others started to fight them from within the campsite, the Li family did not even know where the enemies had appeared from!
Of course, outsiders would not have known that Anthony was a master and he could transport 5000 people over 100 kilometers to launch their surprise attack. Their enemies could not defend against this sort of assault. Thus, while the Li family guarded against outsiders, Lu Xiaoyu controlled Anthony and sent all the Imperial Dragon Soldiers to the middle of the Li family campsite. The Li family was totally caught unaware!
The practitioners from the Li family tried to fight back, but realized that they were no match for these armored soldiers who had suddenly appeared!
A campsite of 10 thousand people, who were dubbed the elites from the palace, were completely annihilated by the Imperial Dragon Soldiers in just over ten minutes.
It was as if a ferocious beast they could not defend themselves against had suddenly appeared from the middle of the campsite as everyone fled the camp.
It was said that actions spoke louder than words. Li Liang had thought about it. The wealthy families in the palace had lived in ease for far too long. Did they have any combat power? They were just jokes who had lived in comfort!
Someone suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we split the Imperial Dragon Soldiers into five groups? With 1000 people in each group, they would be able to eliminate a campsite of 10 thousand people.”
But Li Liang shook his head. “Don’t think that way. Don’t underestimate the enemy as well. We are already confident of success. If we distribute our military power, we will give them a chance to destroy us. We are strong enough, but we cannot give them the chance to turn defeat into victory.”
This was the benefit of Li Liang as the commander of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. He was a veteran. Before he met Lu Shu, it was not an exaggeration to call him the most famous general. But he had never been arrogant.
When the Black Feather Army realized that they could not completely eliminate Lu Shu and the rest, Li Liang decided to command the Black Feather Army to retreat. This was not because Li Liang was afraid to die. It was because he knew that if they did not escape at that time, then they would not be able to flee at all.
Now, he controlled the powerful Imperial Dragon Soldiers. He had always advanced gradually and fought calmly. He was not overly proud nor hurried!
At this moment, Lu Shu walked to Li Liang. Li Liang asked, “Great Lord, what plans do you have next?”
Chen Zuan’s expression changed. “Old Li, you should be the one making plans. Don’t let Brother Shu make plans... ah!”
Chen Zuan flew over 20 meters away.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +748!”
Lu Shu looked calmly at Li Liang. He said, “We will follow your plan.”
Then, he continued to capture those who had been left behind. To Lu Shu, these escaping soldiers were his possessions.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In the Luniverse, the defeated would become the slaves of the victors. The mark of a slave would be imposed upon them and they would lose their freedom forever.
Now, Lu Shu only asked them to open up a wasteland. He could not be more compassionate.
The battle started to spread to the west. The soldiers from the Imperial Dragon Soldiers easily defeated their enemies.
The Song family and the Sun family had retreated. The other wealthy families were confused. When they saw the fire, they thought that a battle had broken out between the wealthy families.
In their minds, the Wei Wu Army probably did not dare to challenge so many wealthy families, right?
Of course, it was not that they had overestimated themselves. They felt that the West Capital was just nearby. Even if Lu Shu was that brave, he would be afraid of Duanmu Huangqi right?
But the reality was that Li Liang did not rush to enter the West Capital. He wanted to lure Duanmu Huangqi out and fight him!
Duanmu Huangqi was now hiding in the West Capital and he did not dare to come out. Li Liang was afraid that there was a trap in the West Capital.
But Li Liang was slightly puzzled. Did Duanmu Huangqi not plan to do anything, even though this place had been totally destroyed? What trump card was hidden in the West Capital?
This was also the reason why the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were in no rush to attack the West Capital. They were still playing a game of chess.
To be honest, Li Liang was shocked that so many people from the wealthy families in the palace had come. They had wanted to force Duanmu Huangqi out. Why did it feel like they were about to besiege an enemy stronghold in order to strike at the reinforcements...?
At the same time, Sun Zhongyang and the others were doing homework in the celestial map. Occasionally, they saw a person suddenly appear. The moment they entered, they continued screaming and running away, like what they had been doing outside.
Sun Zhongyang and the others looked up and saw the person. They said, “Come, don’t shout. Come and do homework!”
At this moment, Sun Zhongyang sharply noticed that among these people, there were none from the Song family and the Sun family. He said to his Sun family subordinates, “The 12 underlings, come with me. Let’s go and take a look.”
They flew around in the star they were on for a long time. Sun Zhongyang finally sighed. “It looks like pledging our loyalty was of some use. There is no one from the Song family and the Sun family. It looks like Lu Shu did not take any action against these two families. Let’s go back and continue to do homework.”
The 12 underlings from the Sun family looked at one another, speechless. If Sun Zhongyang had not added the last sentence, they would have been very happy.
Sun Zhongyang looked at them. He said sincerely, “You must understand that after tonight, thousands of people might join us to do homework. Would you feel better after thinking about that...”
After that, he said with a resolute tone, “Furthermore, the Sun family must have shown their sincerity to the Great Lord. It will not be long until we get out. However, I do hope that he we will let us out, eventually. After all, once he is done with the wealthy families, he will start the fight against Duanmu Huangqi!”
