At the same time, in the Human Emperor Palace.
Holding a jade slip in his hand, Lu Xiufu was reading through the recent events in Mount Buzhou. He was always able to find some clues about the outsider's movements from all the information he had collected.
After reading all the information, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "The fish has finally taken the bait!"
At this moment, Lu Ran asked for an audience outside. Lu Xiufu didn't stop him and let him in.
Lu Ran's forehead was covered in sweat. He came in and bowed. Then, he asked directly, "My lord, are you going to fight some big war?"
"War?" Lu Xiufu pretended to be confused. "What war? Who told you we're going to fight? "
"That's impossible. If we're not going to fight, why would the five legions prepare so many supplies?"
Lu Ran said, "I've checked. The Armory Department has sent nearly a year's worth of supplies to the five legions. In the past, we've prepared enough supplies to defend against the outsiders for three months at most. But this time … we've prepared a year's worth of supplies. If we're not going to fight, then what are we going to do?"
"Now that His Majesty the Human Emperor has fallen, we're in troubled times. The legions have prepared enough supplies just to defend against the outsiders' sudden attack. When the time comes, we won't be caught off guard, right?"
Lu Xiufu said.
"That's a good reason. But other than the most basic supplies, there are also weapons and equipment. I saw a lot of Doctrine Artifacts!"
Lu Ran said, "Where did we get so many Doctrine Artifacts? There are tens of thousands of them. Your Tiger Guards are only equipped with a thousand sets of Doctrine Artifacts. Don't tell me that they're from the Tool Sect, not the Jubao Hall. The Jubao Hall's shuttles are blocked outside White Tiger City. They can't enter Mount Buzhou at all! "
Lu Xiufu suddenly smiled. He looked at Lu Ran with a gratified expression and said, "You've finally made some progress. You didn't follow me for so many years in vain."
Lu Ran's eyes widened when he heard this. "Are … are we really going to fight?"
"The battle has already begun!"
Lu Xiufu said, "You don't know about this, and neither do Long Yan and the others. Because their duties are still their original duties!"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Ran didn't understand, but when he saw Lu Xiufu's expression, he suddenly thought of the ten thousand sets of battle armor. His face immediately filled with shock. "Those sets of battle armor … were prepared for the Seven Divisions of the Brave Tiger in Stone City? This … could it be that … the entire thing is a … a trap? "
Lu Xiufu smiled but didn't say anything.
Thinking up to this point, Lu Ran finally understood. "Stone City's reorganization is fake, it's just to confuse the Great Five Alliance. No, that's not right. How could the Great Five Alliance have the qualifications to make Stone City suffer such grievances? How could they make you take a step back? This isn't for the Great Five Alliance, but for … the foreign races!"
"Although you are a little clumsy, at least you reacted in time."
Lu Xiufu said.
"But if we destroy the Great Five Alliance and attack the foreign races, the situation will be out of control!"
Lu Ran's face was full of worry. "The Heavenly Dao Academy will definitely fall out with the Human Emperor Palace. At that time, won't the human race be caught in the internal strife between the two factions?"
"If the Human Emperor Palace can take a step back, why can't the Heavenly Dao Academy do the same?"
Lu Xiufu said, "This time, the Human Emperor Palace wants to wrestle with the Heavenly Dao Academy. If the Heavenly Dao Academy doesn't take a step back after winning the battle at Mount Buzhou, they will be spurned by the entire human race. Don't forget, there are only five hundred great emperors among the trillions of humans. Five hundred great emperors are nothing compared to the trillions of humans."
"That's the general trend!" Lu Xiufu said, "The premise is that we must win this battle. When the Human Emperor falls and the entire human race is in a state of panic, what do you think will happen if we attack the foreign races at Mount Buzhou?"
"Of course it will be the excitement of the entire human race!"
Lu Ran suddenly understood and said, "At that time, who in the world will not submit to the Human Emperor Palace and the Divine General Estate? Even if the Heavenly Dao Academy knows that we are borrowing a knife to kill them, they can only swallow their pride! "
"No, they are not borrowing a knife to kill them, they are throwing themselves at the knife's edge."
Lu Xiufu said, "I didn't ask them to take those strongholds, nor did I ask them to take Stone City. It was their own request."
Lu Ran was speechless. What is called ruthless? This is what it means.
They clearly schemed against the foreign races, but in the end, they acted as if it had nothing to do with them, making it impossible for others to get hold of any evidence against them!
The Great Five Alliance wanted Stone City, and Stone City surrendered. The Great Five Alliance wanted the strongholds on the mountain, and White Tiger Corps gave them to them. These were all their own requests, not forced upon them.
One could imagine how sullen the Heavenly Dao Academy's people would feel when this battle ended!
"What about Tiannan?" Lu Ran asked, "Is the Tiannan State sacrificed for nothing?"
"Tiannan State?" Lu Xiufu said with a smile, "The Tiannan State did its duty for the human race!"
Lu Ran's heart turned cold. He knew that the Tiannan State was probably the only chess piece sacrificed in this game, and Lee Chao-young!
However, Lu Ran was not a soft-hearted person, so he quickly dispelled this thought.
"Then, Sir, what do you need me to do?" Lu Ran asked, "I am willing to go through water and tread on fire. Even if you want me to charge at the front line, I am willing. Can you give me something to do?"
"What do I need you to do?" Lu Xiufu said with a smile, "You don't have to do anything. Just sit here and watch the show. This is my show!"
Lu Ran was speechless. Watch the show? What show is there to watch with this result?
"Sir, we can't be like this for the rest of our lives, right? How sullen would that be?"
On a flying shuttle at the foot of Mount Buzhou, a man in fiery red armor said.
"Yes, Sir. Our Stone City's Fire Clan is actually doing the job of transporting resources. If this were to spread, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?"
Another man in armor said.
Hearing this, the man sitting at the front of the flying shuttle immediately showed an irritated expression. If these people dared to talk like this in front of him, he would have kicked their butts.
But this time, he did not do so. He suppressed the irritation in his heart and said, "Why do we have to be the ones to charge and break through enemy lines? In the past, when we were charging and breaking through enemy lines, didn't we also have countless brothers transporting resources for us? "
When the people beside him heard this, they immediately shut their mouths. Although they were dissatisfied, they calmed down.
But they were surprised that their general, who was usually very hot-tempered, did not explode.
Was this still the same general of the Fire Clan?
Tang Tianjun sat on the flying shuttle, facing the wind in silence. This was already the ninth day of his silence.
Since that day when he saw Lee Chao-young commit suicide on the city wall, he had been silent. That scene was constantly replaying in his mind.
In the past, when his boss was around, he only needed to go to war and lead people to kill the foreign races. He did not need to worry about anything else.
Now that his boss was gone, and so was Lee Chao-young. Tang Tianjun realized how comfortable his life was in the past.
But this did not make him discouraged. He still had so many brothers under him, and now he was their boss.
He had to be steady, mature, and he could not make mistakes. Otherwise, his brothers would have to die with him!
A few hours later, the resources were transported to the last stronghold. Tang Tianjun did not care about what he was doing now. He only knew that what he was doing was useful, and that was enough.
However, after checking the military supplies, Tang Tianjun was about to leave with his men when the general in the stronghold suddenly called out to him, "Tang Tianjun, there is another mission for you. There are some resources here, and I need you to safely escort them to another location. If there is any loss, I will take your head!"
If it was in the past, Tang Tianjun would have already exploded. But this time, he smiled and accepted the order.
The soldiers under him were all dumbfounded, but he said, "Let's go. Maybe there are still people waiting for these resources to save their lives!"
The brothers of the Fire Clan felt very wronged, not because they had been wronged, but because they felt that their general had become like this, and they felt very wronged.
They thought that if everything could go back to how it was before, how good would that be?
When they were transporting the last batch of resources, Tang Tianjun realized that according to the direction of the flying shuttle, there was something wrong.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of Mount Buzhou. This was the border with the demon race, but there was definitely no stronghold.
"General, look over there!" The people of the Fire Clan walked out.
They saw a group of people in the distance who seemed to be as confused as them. The leader was Feng Wu Hui from the Wind Clan.
After he met up with Feng Wu Hui, he realized that the people of the Wind Clan were all there.
Just when
The two of them were puzzled, a voice came from afar, "Pass the order of Lord White Tiger. Tang Tianjun Feng Wu Hui, lead the troops up the mountain. Within the specified time, arrive at the predetermined location and ambush. Those who disobey will be beheaded!
