Chapter 168 War! The War for the Survival of the Race!

"Of course there are—" Li Hao was about to continue, but the people who had passed out drunkenly slowly woke up one by one.

So Li Hao stopped there: "I'll wait for you here tomorrow when I'm free."

After saying that, she glanced at her drunken father and said, "Hmph, all he knows is drinking."

He then left with the servants who had tidied up the desk.

"Hiss—" Mr. Wolf Hair rubbed his head, and then his literary energy flowed through his body. His beard, which was stained with oil, and his clothes, which were dripping with spiritual wine, were all renewed. Mr. Wolf Hair smiled and shook his head, his eyes had regained their clarity: "Haha, I really made Brother Zhu laugh."

"My Jianshui City has been under the crumbling walls for a long time. We fought and defended it day and night, and were always worried about the counterattack of the monsters outside. But after talking with Brother Zhu today, I feel that the pressure has been relieved, so I drank a few more cups."

As he spoke, Mr. Wolf-Hair subconsciously reached for his wine glass, only to find that the wine glasses and delicacies on the table had already been cleared away. He laughed and said, "I was going to toast you again, but my daughter cleared the table."

"Brother Wolf Hair, there's no need for that," Zhu Ge smiled. "We can just have some tea."

As soon as the words were spoken, the people outside the door promptly replaced everyone's teacups and poured tea for each person.

The others were all at least at the second realm, so their abilities were naturally quite good, and the effects of the alcohol were instantly dispelled.

The people at the table all looked perfectly normal, showing no signs of having just been drunk.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ge knew that this was the time to truly discuss matters.

So he asked, "Brother Wolf Hair, speaking of demonic beasts, what is the current situation in Yuanyang City?"

"I heard that the Lord of Yuanyang City was seriously injured by the Red River Dragon Python and the Plague God Sparrow, which led to the widespread chaos in my Red River Prefecture."

"How is the Lord of Yuanyang City's injury? Are the Plague God Sparrow and the Red River Dragon Python still wreaking havoc?"

Some time has passed since Zhu Ge first heard that the Lord of Yuanyang City was seriously injured.

After that, various things happened frequently, to the point that even Liu Jianjian could no longer find out or eavesdrop on the situation in Yuanyang City.

"The situation over there is difficult." Mr. Wolf Hair shook his head: "In the entire Red River Prefecture, apart from the city lords of each city, all cultivators of the third realm have been summoned by Immortal Red Rice."

"Oh, by the way, this Red Rice Immortal is the title of the Lord of Yuanyang City. He is incredibly skilled in the art of cultivating spiritual plants, but he is not very good at combat techniques."

"Subsequently, the Plague God Sparrow surrounded Yuanyang City with a terrifying plague, preventing those inside from leaving and us from entering. Now we have no idea what is happening inside."

Plague God Sparrow —

Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but showed no sign of helplessness: "So, the Plague God Sparrow and the Red River Dragon Python are still lingering around Yuanyang City?"

"Not bad." Mr. Wolf Hair nodded.

Zhu Ge said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then of the thirteen cities in Honghe Prefecture, only the prefectural capital, Yuanyang, is completely out of contact. But—what about the other cities?"

Mr. Wolf-Hair stroked his beard and sighed, then said to the person beside him, "Commander Feng, you speak."

A burly man in tight-fitting clothes sighed upon hearing this: "Reporting to the city lord, of the thirteen cities, six have been reduced to ghost towns, except for Yuanyang City. It is said that four more cities are on the verge of collapse. Only my Jianshui City and Mengzi City have not been destroyed."

There are thirteen cities, but if you remove Yuanyang City, there are twelve left.

Of these, Jianshui City and Mengzi City are safe, but six other cities have already fallen, and only four are still holding out.

I never imagined that other places had deteriorated to this extent.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge immediately said, "To be honest, the reason I returned to the city this time is for one thing."

He looked around, taking in everyone's gaze.

The crowd seemed to sense something.

"Please speak freely," Mr. Wolf Hair replied with a smile.

Zhu Ge then uttered two words: "War!"

The moment those two words were uttered, a chilling aura swept over us.

war!

Zhu Ge wants war!

No matter which household they went to or which people they visited, Zhu Ge's ultimate goal was always war!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Langhao slowly nodded.

Commander Feng's expression shifted slightly, seemingly indicating his agreement with Zhu Ge.

The other people present also voiced their opinions.

"War, war, war is good!"

"It's a pity that I've long since lost my ambition, but hearing Young Master Zhu's words today has actually stirred a spark of passion within me."

"I have no wife or children, only a martial arts school disciple. I suppose they can also join the army as soldiers."

"We are willing to lend you a hand!"

Those present can be considered the leading forces in Jianshui City.

Moreover, these forces are the confidants of the Jianshui City Lord; otherwise, they wouldn't have been brought here.

In contrast, the Dendrobium Pavilion and similar places that Zhu Ge visited before were probably branches opened by some force in Jianshui City.

Therefore, the pavilion master did not come here at this time.

But that's enough.

Many items can be purchased from places like Dendrobium Pavilion through monetary transactions.

However, tasks such as battle formation, soldier duties, command, and logistics had to be done by others.

A blessing song can only play a certain role; one cannot presume that one can play the entire role by oneself.

However, Zhu Ge knew in her heart that the most likely reason why things were so easy to do now was...

Annihilation of the True Lord!

There aren't that many fools in the world.

Zhu Ge has emerged as a dark horse, possessing formidable strength. He suddenly appeared from Honghe Prefecture without making a sound beforehand.

Not long after, the True Lord's Sword vanquished the barbarians of Nanyue and Myanmar.

There are hardly any coincidences in the world.

Therefore, everyone would speculate that Zhu Ge might be a pawn of the Annihilation True Lord, representing the Annihilation True Lord behind the scenes.

After all, even the Three Realms Axe-Mantis was subdued; it wouldn't make sense if it didn't have someone behind it!

It has to be said that Zhu Ge could only vaguely guess what these people were thinking.

However, in some respects, it's not wrong.

Or rather, the guessing process might have been wrong, but the result was correct.

The blessing song is related to the True Lord of Obliteration.

The subjugation of the axe-wielding mantis also originated from the fungus-destroying formation and the "Demon-hunting Divine Technique" bestowed by the Lantern-carrying True Lord.

It's just that the relationship between the True Lord of Annihilation and Zhu Ge is not the kind of relationship these people imagine.

It is estimated that in the eyes of people like the Lord of Jianshui City, Zhu Ge, who suddenly appeared without any master or reputation, is actually the master of the Annihilation True Lord.

But actually?

Zhu Ge is the elder brother of the True Lord of Oblivion.

Therefore, they all now believe that the war was instigated by the True Lord of Annihilation.

Only Zhu Ge knew the truth.

This war is not for anyone in particular, nor is it orchestrated by the True Lord of Annihilation.

In Zhu Ge's heart, this is a battle for the survival and continuation of the race!

"Brother Zhu, what are your plans for this war?" asked the Lord of Jianshui City.

Without hesitation, Zhu Ge stated the first step of his plan: "The first step is to recruit more soldiers!"

"Recruit more soldiers?" Commander Feng sighed. "But Young Master Zhu, there are already many able-bodied young men in the city who have been drafted. I'm afraid—"

Zhu Ge waved his hand and said firmly, "No, recruit from the countryside!"
