"Kill me?" The soul on the throne smiled and said, "Since you've chosen the path of kindness, you should understand that when can kindness win over treachery? 18 years ago, you left the ancestral land. This time, you might not be so lucky. If you want my gift, it depends on whether you can accept it. "
As he spoke, the soul on the throne started to dissipate slowly. From the beginning, he had no intention of attacking Lü Shu. In fact, if a soul were to attack here, no one would be able to gain the upper hand.
The other party had placed the soul here for nothing more than to talk to Lü Shu. He had no intention of starting a war now.
Lü Shu did not do anything as he watched the soul dissipate. He was only thinking about what gift the other party had said he would give him.
It must be a large number of negative emotion points, enough to light up all the negative emotion points in the sixth nebula. And behind these negative emotion points, there must be a large number of human lives.
Lü Shu did not panic. He was thinking that perhaps when the time came, he would be able to understand who else in Lü Zhou was his enemy.
Was the other party going to use this capital as a battlefield? Lü Shu was not sure. He turned to look at Li Liang. "When will Sun Xiuwen arrive?"
"One week." Li Liang explained, "He needs some time to reorganize the military affairs in Western Region, so his departure schedule has been delayed. But what can be confirmed is that he is indeed racing against time and has no other intentions."
Lü Shu nodded. This Sun Xiuwen had bet everything in the Sun family on the future of an Emperor Of Heaven. His boldness was unimaginable.
However, there were four Emperors Of Heaven in Lü Zhou now, but only one had made it clear that they were supporting him. Moreover, it was the crippled Western Region.
After a few battles in Western Region, the Blackfeather Army had almost been wiped out. There were not many people who could be mobilized to form a combat force. Even if Sun Xiuwen disregarded everything and pulled over the garrison troops of all the cities in Western Region, they would still be stretched thin.
Lü Shu looked at Yi Qian and asked, "Did you get any information?"
"There is. In the Southern Province, Emperor Heaven Wen Zaifou had already ordered the army to assemble three months ago, but there has been no movement since then." Yi Qian said, "I don't know what he's planning."
Lü Shu frowned. He had always believed in Wen Zaifou. It was just that Wen Zaifou had gathered his army long ago. Had he already guessed that there would be such a battle? Was Wen Zaifou a friend or foe? Was Yu Fuyao a friend or foe?
"What about the other two prefectures?" Lü Shu asked.
"The other two prefectures are very calm. It's as if nothing has happened." Yi Qian was a little puzzled and said, "Everything in Northern Prefecture is normal. The merchants are doing business, the commoners are farming, and the nobles are enjoying themselves. It's as if the war in Lü Zhou has nothing to do with them. This is a little unusual. Even though Eastern Prefecture hasn't mobilized its army, the commoners and nobles within its borders are already in a state of panic. This is because everyone is saying that this war will engulf the entire Lü Zhou."
Lü Shu pondered for a moment. These two prefectures were indeed a little unusual. He looked at Yi Qian and asked, "What else?"
"Also … Yu Fuyao just brought a few gigolos into the palace yesterday," Yi Qian said with a toothache. This empress was still doing such things at a time like this.
At the mention of this, Lü Shu suddenly thought of something and instructed, "Be careful in Eastern and Northern Prefectures. That Yu Fuyao isn't as simple as you think. Don't be misled by appearances."
Actually, Lü Shu didn't ask Yi Qian to gather information because he was worried about anything. He just wanted to know who his opponent was!
It was a pity that the brothers and sisters in Tengra Earth Net couldn't come to help. Otherwise, things would be much easier.
However, Lü Shu was very clear that even though many people in Tengra Earth Net wanted to help him, they couldn't come because they were on duty.
Furthermore, even if the Tengra Earth Net wanted to come, they would be stopped by Lü Shu because he didn't want these innocent brothers and sisters to lose their lives because of the war.
Lü Shu knew that Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin would definitely come. It was probably only a few days before the next opening of the spatial passageway.
Beside him, Lü Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Royal City is too big. It's not suitable for defense. We don't have that many troops."
Li Liang nodded and said, "Based on the other party's tone, we must be facing a fierce battle. Therefore, we should either give up Royal City or make other plans."
Everyone looked at Lü Shu. Lü Shu thought about it and said, "Don't look at me. I'm not making plans now …"
Li Liang, "…"
Lü Xiaoyu, "…"
Seeing that Lü Shu suddenly had such self-awareness, Lü Xiaoyu said calmly, "If we don't give up Royal City and leave if he comes, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"
"That's a little risky. We really don't have the troops to defend this place," Li Liang said.
"It's alright. We can build another city inside this one!" Lü Xiaoyu said confidently, "Moreover, the other party is very clear about our situation. Perhaps they're waiting for us to leave and fall into their trap."
The size of King City was beyond imagination, but in fact, King City's city walls did not have much meaning in terms of defense. If they insisted on defending every side of the city walls, then they would have to disperse the Imperial Dragon Class, which was equivalent to breaking their own foundation.
However, since Lü Xiaoyu had said that they wouldn't give up Royal City, they had to build another defensive structure. Moreover, it had to be high enough to keep out experts below the second rank!
Lü Shu looked at Lü Xiaoyu. "Are you confident?"
"Leave it to me," Lü Xiaoyu said confidently.
Barbican was a very famous term in ancient wars on Earth. It was one of the main defensive structures of ancient cities and could be used to strengthen the defense of castles or passes. Barbican was a small semi-circular or square defensive structure built outside the city gate. It was considered a part of the city.
The two sides of the barbican were connected to the city wall, and there were defensive structures such as arrow towers, gates, and battlements. The gate of the barbican was usually not in the same line as the other gate it was protecting. This was to prevent attacks from weapons such as battering rams.
However, this time, the city within the city that Lü Xiaoyu wanted to build was not a barbican. Due to the vastness of Royal City, it could not be connected to the outer city. What Lü Xiaoyu needed to do was to build a new city within Royal City to defend against incoming enemies.
This was not a particularly difficult task for Anthony, who was already a Grandmaster. He just needed time. Moreover, Lü Xiaoyu needed sturdy materials.
The city did not need to be too big. It was enough for Mituryū Kanao and his allies to fight!
Lü Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu. "Bring the aristocrats of Royal City here."
Not long after, Zhang Weiyu escorted the aristocrats to the Divine King's palace. It was the first time for some of them to enter the palace, but they were not in the mood to look at the decorations inside.
Lü Shu said, "Get your servants to move. Move all the sturdy stones around Royal City here. Then … I want you to disperse the citizens of Royal City and use your servants to dig the Hidden Dragon River here!"
