Royal City did not have a moat. There was only the Hidden Dragon River that flowed parallel to the city. However, this was not a problem. Lü Shu wanted the aristocrats to bring the Hidden Dragon River into Royal City. As long as the outer and inner city were sealed, the inner city would have its own moat.
The water level of the Hidden Dragon River was relatively high, and no one had ever cleaned up the silt in the river. As a result, the riverbed of the Hidden Dragon River kept rising. There were several occasions when the Hidden Dragon River broke its dike and changed its course, causing disaster to the people downstream.
If this had happened on Earth, it would have been dealt with a long time ago. However, the lives of the people here were not valuable, so no one planned to spend a lot of effort to deal with the waterways.
At this time, although the aristocrats of Royal City had lost ten thousand elites, this loss was completely acceptable to them. They did not need to fight, and the shopkeepers and workers could go and dig the river.
As for whether the people of Royal City were willing to leave, Lü Shu felt that as long as he told them that this place would become the main battlefield, they would naturally leave.
Most migrations in human history were actually related to war. No one was willing to be fish on the chopping block in the city.
However, when the patriarchs of the aristocrats of Royal City heard what Lü Shu said, they were all stunned. "Why do you want a moat?"
When they heard what Lü Shu said, they naturally knew what Lü Shu wanted to do. However, the problem was that moats had long been eliminated by time.
In the past, moats were used to guard against foreign enemies. However, after the development of cultivation civilization, everyone realized that moats were not that important to cultivators.
The width of a regular moat could be crossed by cultivators in one step as if they were walking on flat ground!
However, Lü Shu would not explain anything to them. He did not want a moat, but a home ground!
The awakened talent and strength level would always be parallel, so when Lü Shu became a grandmaster, his water talent also advanced to the grandmaster level. Moreover, the awakened ability did not use the power of the star map, but to communicate with the elements of heaven and earth.
In other words, even if Lü Shu used his water ability, it would still not affect the power of the star map.
Now that everyone had guessed that the other party was about to launch a large-scale attack, Lü Shu was confident that he could use his water ability to teach the other party a lesson.
If there was no home ground, then he would create one. Lü Shu was not a stickler for the situation.
Lü Shu looked at the clan heads and said calmly, "Are you asking me questions?"
The Patriarchs kept quiet out of fear. "We'll definitely get this done. If it's not done within three days, we'll bring our heads to you."
"You don't have to raise your head." Lü Shu chuckled and said, "You can just wait here in the Divine King's Palace and let your servants do it. After all, you are also people of status. How can you personally dig the river?"
The faces of the family heads were not very good. They were still thinking that if they could go outside to supervise the work, they might be able to take advantage of the chaos to escape if a fight broke out.
However, according to Lü Shu, they had to stay in the Divine King's Palace. If Mituryū Kanao was defeated, they would die with him!
Once they got on the chariot, it would be very difficult to get off.
The Patriarchs hurriedly summoned their servants to make arrangements. The first task was to move the mountain, the second was to dig the river, and the third was to disperse the commoners of the Royal City. These tasks were very difficult, but the Patriarchs knew that these tasks had to be completed. Otherwise, everyone would die!
However, when these matters were spread out, some of the news was distorted. When the commoners heard that Lü Shu was going to dig the Hidden Dragon River, they were shocked. "It's not enough for the old Divine King to force the gamblers into the Hidden Dragon River. He wants to flood the Royal City and soak everyone in the Hidden Dragon River?"
At first, everyone was not sure if Lü Shu was the one who had returned. However, when they saw how obedient the Royal City's aristocrats were to Lü Shu, they slowly believed it and started to shout the name of the Divine King.
The servants of the aristocrats were in a very bad mood. "Get lost! If you don't get out of the Royal City in three days, you will die here! There's going to be a war, understand? "
At this time, the commoners understood that there was going to be a war in the Royal City!
Now, they did not even need to be expelled by the aristocrats. They immediately packed their luggage and ran away. For a moment, the people outside the Royal City were like a group of ants escaping. Those who had relatives went to their relatives, while those who had no relatives slept in the wild. They did not dare to stay in the Royal City any longer.
Lü Xiaoyu and Anthony had been busy building the inner city. When the aristocrats looked out from the Divine King's palace, they saw walls rising from the ground out of thin air. Moreover, they did not look like they were built hastily.
Ever since Anthony had become a Great Grandmaster, Lü Xiaoyu had looked for Zhong Yutang to ask for the blueprint of the Stronghold. She knew that this day would come sooner or later. With the blueprint of the Stronghold and Anthony, she would be able to build an impregnable city within three days!
This city did not have a gate. Currently, there was only a gap for people to pass through. Once the river was dug, it would be completely sealed to prevent the water from flooding the inner city.
Of course, this city was certainly not as solid as the construction maniacs. It could be said that the internal infrastructure was completely absent, but the defensive functions were present.
When this scene appeared in the eyes of the aristocrats, it was simply too magical. So it turned out that a city could be built in this way!
Everyone had seen what kind of experts were like, but there were really no experts in Lü Zhou who were willing to do this kind of construction work. Therefore, the construction of the city in Lü Zhou was nothing more than a method of recruiting laborers.
In fact, it was not their fault for being ignorant. To be honest, when Lü Shu saw the construction maniacs doing this for the first time, he was also very shocked …
Zhang Weiyu, who was next to Lü Shu, asked, "My King, how confident are we?"
Lü Shu smiled and said, "There's no such thing as confidence in war. If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. We have to win."
Li Heitan thought about it and said, "My King, the reason you made us do our homework was to make us feel negative emotions … My King, you're too cruel!"
Lü Xiaoyu did not ask this, but how could Li Heitan bear it?
Lü Shu looked at Li Heitan seriously and said, "Charcoal, do you know what it means to befriend a distant enemy and attack a nearby enemy?"
"I know this!" Li Heitan's eyes lit up. "It means to contact countries that are far away and attack the neighboring countries."
Lü Shu shook his head and said, "Befriend a distant enemy and attack a nearby enemy means that when you are far away from me, I can still communicate with you calmly. If you are too close, I can't help but want to attack you."
"Negative emotion points from Li Heitan, + 666!"
Lü Shu's explanation was like opening a new door for the studious Li Heitan!
On the second night, a group of cultivators from aristocratic families finally dug through the Hidden Dragon River.
The sound of rushing water could be heard in Wangcheng. The water flowed through all the buildings until Wangcheng turned into a country of water.
Lü Shu felt as if he had overlooked something, but he could not remember what it was until he saw the negative emotion points in the background.
"Negative emotion points from Jiang Shuyi, + 888!"
"Negative emotion points from Gu Lingfei, + 748!"
"Negative emotion points from …"
Jianlu was too quiet, so Lü Shu had forgotten about Jianlu. Thinking about the terrain of Jianlu, it should have been flooded by now. The clouds and mist outside Jianlu looked mysterious, but as a disciple of Jianlu, Lü Shu knew that it only blocked peeping, not waterproof …
