Chapter 1055: The Hopes of the Aristocrat Army
The Wei Wu Army headed to the west. As Nangeng City was located at the borders, they set off at sunrise and had reached the border between the North Region and the West Region when the sky was completely lit up.
The Wei Wu Army did not stop as they were about to reach the first barrier of the Black Feather Army that night.
The barrier was not set up because of the Wei Wu Army. It was set up to block the Aristocrat Army who was sent by Wen Zaifou to attack the West Region.
Initially, when Lu Shu heard that Wen Zaifou wanted the aristocrats to take down ten fortresses in the West Region, he gloated at their misfortune but did not overthink. Apart from Lu Shu, the aristocrats also did not overthink. They thought that Wen Zaifou’s purpose was to reinforce their memory.
However, they underestimated the determination of the Black Feather Army to fight back. Nobody expected such a great scheme on the borders of the West Region. It was regarding a whole new world!
At that time, the Black Feather Army had already planted many soldiers at the borders. A few years ago, the Black Feather Army had already started to plan for this but did not act. That was probably related to the time when the space pathway opened.
Wen Zaifou requested for the Aristocrat Army to take down ten fortresses of the West Region. However, they were at a loss of what to do after the third fortress. They could not possibly retreat. If they retreated, Wen Zaifou would definitely not let them off.
They were unable to advance either. They could only try their best and guard the third fortress. The Black Feather Army attacked the fortress continuously, leaving them with no time for respite.
They were asking Wen Zaifou for assistance but there was no response.
Thinking about it, Wen Zaifou sent them over to disgust Duanmu Huangqi. Perhaps, Wen Zaifou had known about Duanmu Huangqi’s plan long ago!
During this period, they had kept in contact with the outside world and wanted to know about what was happening. That was so as to help them analyze their current situation.
The aristocrats knew that they had become the pawns on the chessboard. They had no choice but to continue advancing. If they wanted to live, they had to depend on themselves.
At this moment, they heard about how the Wei Wu Army sent help to save Lu Shu, as well as how the Wei Wu Army had returned to the Nangeng City the day before. Then, news regarding the advancement of the Wei Wu Army to the West Region arrived this morning!
The aristocrat army was extremely happy. All of them knew that Lu Shu were enemies with Duanmu Huangqi. Duanmu Huangqi wanted to suppress Lu Shu but over a thousand of his underlings and 12 patrons were killed. He had to fight to his death.
Although the Wei Wu Army had robbed them in the past with the excuse of escaping poverty and making a fortune, now, the Wei Wu Army was definitely united. If his opponent came, he would be their greatest help!
At this moment, nobody dared to underestimate the Wei Wu Army. The name of the person, Lu Shu was sufficiently terrifying, the Wei Wu Army’s powers was way more terrifying.
Therefore, the Aristocrat Army sent out their slaves to welcome the Wei Wu Army. If the Wei Wu Army was willing to come to an agreement, they were willing to pay a heavier price!
However, while they were waiting for the Wei Wu Army, something unexpected happened… The Wei Wu Army disappeared!
Their slaves went for the Wei Wu Army, but they did not see the Wei Wu Army at all during their journey to the Nangeng City!
For some reason, the aristocrats were unsurprised by this. In fact, it would be surprising if the Wei Wu Army followed the rules.
At this moment, everyone’s excitement had died down. Suddenly, they began to worry that the Wei Wu Army would go against them too… Everything was possible…
The Aristocrat Army wanted to negotiate with the Wei Wu Army regarding the battle. They were willing to pay but they could not even find the Wei Wu Army now!
Moreover, they received news that the Wei Wu Army abandoned the soap factory in the Nangeng City. It was as though a money-face stopped eyeing over money overnight.
In fact, Lu Shu had asked the Wei Wu Army if anyone wanted to stay back the night they had returned to the Nangeng City. If they left, the chances of living was very little.
There were still two masters supporting Duanmu Huangqi on top of the three masters originally. This was an unimaginable power that Lu Shu was unable to defeat. Moreover, Nie Ting was also unable to help.
Even if Duanmu Huangqi lost 12 Rank One soldiers, he still had more than 20 Rank One soldiers under his rule. The detailed number was unknown.
Moreover, waves of Black Feather Army troops rushed over from the West Region continuously. The small troops of army disbanded and merged into the Black Feather Army, forming a terrifyingly huge force.
As compared to the Black Feather Army, the Wei Wu Army’s powers were limited.
Lu Shu had to go as he had no choice, but he did not need to get the rest of the Wei Wu Army involved. Therefore, he told the Wei Wu Army that anyone who wanted to stay back would take over the soap factory in the Nangeng City.
The position of the ruler of the Nangeng City was unable to be passed down. That depended on Wen Zaifou. However, the soap factory was a private company owned by Lu Shu and it had almost monopolized the Luniverse…
The Wei Wu Army had a premonition that they probably would not be able to return to the Nangeng City if they left. This could be inferred from Lu Shu’s words and actions.
They thought that Lu Shu knew that he would not be able to defeat the Black Feather Army and Duanmu Huangqi and would probably die on the battlefield. However, everyone’s morale was extremely high and Zhang Weiyu and the rest just regained their power as a Rank One. The 12 patrons in clothes adorned with patterns of flowers and pythons were extremely powerful, yet Zhang Weiyu claimed that he could fight three of them at once…
Therefore, everyone thought that the situation was not as pessimistic as what Lu Shu had imagined. Even if they were unable to return alive, none of them wanted to flee.
They had been to the palace, so why would they be afraid of the West Region?
Therefore, nobody chose to stay back in the end. Lu Shu felt helpless but had no choice but to give up the soap business he had owned… If this happened on Earth, Lu Shu would be the creator of the toiletries industry.
Therefore, other people thought that the Wei Wu Army had suddenly lost interest in profits. The businessmen were stunned. Who could they approach to make business if the Wei Wu Army left? Although there were ordinary people working in the soap factory, they did not know the critical stage of “harvesting minerals” of the soap manufacturing process.
Therefore, this meant that the entire manufacturing process would come to a halt!
At this moment when everyone was fearful, the Black Feather Army attacked the Aristocrat Army again. This time, their force was way more than before, as though they wanted to re-attack the North Region!
At this moment, movements were suddenly seen behind the Black Feather Army. The aristocrats stood at the fortress and saw a wave of red appearing behind the Black Feather Army. It was none other than the red tassels on the armor of the Wei Wu Army!
