Spare Me, Great Lord! (Web Novel) - Chapter 1262: Messenger
Chapter 1262: Messenger
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The army made up of over 100 thousand soldiers from the wealthy families had been formed in haste. No wealthy family dared to station a large number of troops in the palace to protect themselves. In other words, before Duanmu Huangqi attacked the palace, no wealthy family from the palace felt that any dangers would appear in the palace.
With the palace of the King of Gods and the Sword Hut around, who would launch an attack on the Sword Hut, unless it was as part of the Sword Hut ceremony?
Thus, to form this massive army, hundreds of people left the palace. Then, they transferred practitioners from the family businesses in the cities and added them to the army. Gradually, a massive army was formed.
There was a very obvious problem. It would be very tiring to command these people.
When Lu Shu and the rest disappeared, the masters had been troubled over the formation of an army. They had lived in comfort for too long. If they did not fight, their flaws would not be exposed. But once they fought, they would be done for.
They were grateful that Lu Shu did not directly attack the West Capital. if not, their panic and messy execution would turn them into a joke.
The wealthy families did not trust one another either. Thus, their armies pitched campsites a few kilometers away from one another. If they were too close to one another, they would not be able to react if someone launched an attack.
But at that moment, a messenger came to the Song family military camp.
The messenger ran over with bare feet. His hair was tied back. His clothes were wide and comfortable. He did not even seem nervous when he stood at the entrance of the campsite and facing countless practitioners from the Song family.
“I am Liu Yizhao, servant of the Great Lord. I would like to see the boss of the Song family, Xiao Mingze… the chief officer Zhao Shuai will do as well,” said Liu Yizhao with a smile.
Lu Shu did not want to send Liu Yizhao over. However, Liu Yizhao went to find Lu Shu and told him that Lu Shu could give him the most dangerous job… he wanted to break through the final step of his cultivation with a life and death situation.
When Lu Shu heard this, he understood that Liu Yizhao was very close to the master realm. Like Nie Ting, he was stuck at this level. Whether he would be able to break through would be up to divine will.
Nie Ting had sought a battle to break through and Liu Yizhao was doing the same. Although there was a rather large gap between Liu Yizhao’s talents and Nie Ting’s, it was already shocking enough that Liu Yizhao was able to reach this level!
Sending Liu Yizhao to the Song family was a huge risk. Even though the Song family was sincere, he would never truly know their intentions. You would not be able to determine who your true comrades were when you were not at the verge of death.
Someone walked out of the Song family campsite. He looked at Liu Yizhao in shock. “You… you are Liu Yizhao!”
Liu Yizhao smiled. “That’s me. Chief officer Zhao, are you well?”
Zhao Shuai observed Liu Yizhao in shock. For some reason, although they were both Rank Ones, he felt that Liu Yizhao was much stronger than him. This feeling was not unfounded. The stronger a practitioner was, the more they should trust their intuition.
Liu Yizhao thought about it and it appeared Li Liang was right. As the chief officer of the Song family, Zhao Shuai would definitely be sent to this battle.
But at this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. He looked at Liu Yizhao, then looked at Zhao Shuai. In the end, he said to Liu Yizhao, “I am the commander of the Song family forces, Song Changying. If you have something to say, you can speak to me.”
Liu Yizhao smiled. “My Great Lord has said that we will only talk to chief officer Zhao and boss Xiao. We do not care about who you are.”
Song Changying was dumbfounded. There was anger in his eyes. “You are too condescending.”
He was a direct descendant of the Song family and in the Song family army, he had the final say. But the messenger that Lu Shu had sent wanted Zhao Shuai to command the army. Although Zhao Shuai was the chief officer, even the chief officer did not have the right to do so!
Liu Yizhao did not mind Song Changying’s tone. He smiled. “In front of my Great Lord, you must be able to survive before talking about your courage with me. This time, I will forgive you. But there will be no next time!”
Although he said that he would forgive Song Changying, he slapped the flag at the entrance of the campsite. The flag collapsed with a crash!
Song Changying was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that although Liu Yizhao was facing a powerful army, he was very confident. Although he was simply a messenger, he did not pay any attention to the Song family.
Why? Where did the Wei Wu Army’s confidence come from? The Wei Wu Army was a group of bumpkins from the Azure Dragon Village, right?
Although Song Changying thought this way, he did not have the confidence to fight back. The Wei Wu Army was much more ferocious now. He thought more deeply about it, if he killed Liu Yizhao tonight, would the crazy Wei Wu Army trample the Song family tomorrow?
Liu Yizhao sighed. “I’m not interested. You don’t even dare to attack me. Fine. Today, my Great Lord asked me to bring information to the Song family and the Sun family. If you retreat 150 kilometers, we will still be friends. If you do not retreat, there will only be corpses left here tonight.”
Liu Yizhao then turned and walked into the night. Song Changying and Zhao Shuai heard the sound of Liu Yizhao running wildly, his footsteps were heavy, like a drum. People panicked when they heard these footsteps.
Song Changying’s expression was dark and uncertain. Zhao Shuai saluted. “Commander, what is your decision?”
Song Changying laughed coldly and looked at Zhao Shuai. “You and Xiao Mingze already have a plan. Since you have been in contact with the Wei Wu Army, why didn’t you rely on them?”
Zhao Shuai did not seem to take Song Changying’s words to heart. He adjusted his clothes and calmly said, “Back then, I served the Song family because I owed the previous master a favor. I have continued to serve the Song family for over 200 years. I have fulfilled my favor. If the commander insists on not listening to the Wei Wu Army, I will bring my people and leave. I don’t want to die.”
“Do you really think that the Wei Wu Army will dare to come and kill our massive army tonight?” Song Changying stared at Zhao Shuai. To be honest, he did not quite believe Liu Yizhao. What was he talking about? If they did not leave tonight, this place would be filled with corpses? Who was he trying to scare?
At that moment, Zhao Shuai’s head was filled with the image of Lu Shu walking down the street full of blood. At the time, he had been secretly observing, but did not dare to step up and help him. In reality, Lu Shu did not need his assistance either.
But all those who had witnessed that scene would understand that perhaps the Wei Wu Army was not invincible, but the wealthy families from the palace were not their equals.
“The entire army, move back by 150 kilometers!” Song Changying shouted to his soldiers. He had no choice but to make a decision. But after issuing this command, he looked at Zhao Shuai. “I want to see how brave the Wei Wu Army is!”
Song Changying was unhappy, as this retreat meant that the Song family wanted to build friendly relations with the Wei Wu Army. They were falling in. If the Wei Wu Army did not win, then the Song family would have to face the palace of the King of Gods and Duanmu Huangqi!
But at that moment, flames soared into the sky in the east. Battle cries could be heard dozens of kilometers away in the dark.
That was where the Li family were. The Li family were probably done for! The Wei Wu Army were going to kill thousands of people in one night!
