MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1369 - 344: Ming Ze’s Predicament

In contemplation, Lu Hong gradually became somewhat irritable, truly wanting to slap this tedious and foolish guy to death.

According to the Dark Continent’s hierarchy, he really is a Martial God, an existence that transcends the ordinary, needing to compete for power with this little trash at the Martial Emperor Realm?

Lu Hong really wanted to knock open the head of the Qin Long Guard Commander before him and take a good look at what exactly they had inside.

Dumb beyond reason, truly.

Lu Hong was speechless and helpless, he really didn’t want to play this power game, but he couldn’t just kill the Qin Long Guard Commander outright, he had to humor him for a couple of rounds, it truly made him sick.

Seeing Lu Hong not continuing to speak, the Qin Long Guard Commander just stood there steadily, old god in, waiting for Lu Hong’s response.

Lu Hong stared at the Qin Long Guard Commander for quite a while, without contemplating a strategy in his mind, just watching dryly, and finally spoke directly revealing, "Commander Chu, there is no power struggle between you and me. You need not probe me for this, insist on vying against me. The reason why I joined this war against the Mingze Domain and was appointed Grand Marshal by Emperor Qin is merely that Emperor Qin hopes to add some safeguard to this battle of Mingze. You may disrespect me, but you’d better not disrupt Emperor Qin’s deployments and plans; ultimately Mingze needs to be incorporated into Da Qin’s territory, and also become an important recruiting ground for Da Qin, otherwise in the future we would not have sufficient forces to counter other Great Domains of the Dark Continent. Once your incident of killing captives gets out, it will undoubtedly create substantial obstacles in Da Qin’s subsequent rule over Mingze. You must know, what you are delaying is Da Qin’s grand plan to conquer the entire Dark Continent. Whether you execute my orders, whether I hold status and power in Da Qin, it does not matter to me. Every conflict and contradiction between you and me will ultimately be your guilt toward Emperor Qin."

With Lu Hong’s words finished, the originally calm Qin Long Guard Commander’s face subtly changed, his mind much sharper compared to the Martial Fool of the Upper Martial Guard Commander. Initially, he was blinded by his own little hobbies, but after what Lu Hong said.

The Qin Long Guard Commander suddenly realized, couldn’t help but shiver.

If he really kills the captives this time, in the future Da Qin’s rule over the Mingze Domain would surely be met with hostility and resistance from the local populace. Since ancient times, killing captives has been detrimental to prestige; if it were a war of annihilation, killing captives would be killing captives, anyway not expecting the populace to submit willingly, killing more or less wouldn’t matter.

But if Da Qin desires for Mingze Domain to become their recruitment source, then they mustn’t give the common folks of Mingze Domain an infamous impression.

Therefore, if the Qin Long Guard Commander kills these captives, in the future when dealing with the Mingze Domain’s public sentiment, he is destined to be held accountable.

Of course, punishment is a minor issue, but if he delays his master’s major affairs, loses imperial favor, he is essentially not far from dead.

As the Qin Long Guard Commander, he holds a venerable position, relying on his special status, he has done quite a few things, offended quite a few people.

Once he loses his current position, what awaits him will be the endless revenge from those families, opponents.

Thinking of this, the Qin Long Guard Commander suddenly jolted, damn it, who would have thought that a reckless decision at the moment could become a seed that buries his future.

In fear of sweating coldly, the Qin Long Guard Commander did not dare delay and immediately raised his hand to summon his subordinates.

"Commander!" The Qin Long Guards saluted the Commander respectfully.

"Go, distribute enough dry rations for ten days to these captives and let them go."

"As you command!"

Seeing the Qin Long Guard Commander issue orders, Lu Hong’s face became considerably better, nodding slightly, this guy at least is not a one-track mind, still understands some reason.

After instructing his subordinates, the Qin Long Guard Commander turned immediately and clasped his fists in a bow to Lu Hong, "Thank you, Emperor Master, for enlightening me; I have offended greatly before, please forgive this offense, after this war, returning to Da Qin, I pledge to offer a formal apology to Emperor Master."

To this, Lu Hong waved his hand, frankly saying, "I am at the Martial God Realm, although you are only one realm away from the Martial God, the true difference is a world apart; your apology, I can tell you clearly, I don’t care for it. I am not your enemy. If not for Da Qin being in the precarious stormy times now, I wouldn’t have returned to help Qin Hong; I wouldn’t waste my effort competing for power with you because I am Qin Hong’s teacher, I have no interest to play charades with you. Our objective in attacking Mingze Domain is to disrupt and obstruct Mingze Domain’s full-scale offensive against Da Qin, by causing as much destruction as possible to Mingze’s internal cities, preventing Da Qin from being attacked on two fronts. Hence our purpose is simple: wreak havoc on the urban facilities, trap Mingze Domain’s army within its domain, making them dare not rashly deploy troops against Da Qin. Qin Long and Upper Martial’s two guards are like bait, just lure the enemy along. Even though Qin Long Shang Wu’s combat capabilities are formidable, ultimately they will be exhausted with their pure steel battle energy and vitality. Therefore, don’t corner yourself, in enemy lands, absolute despair doesn’t lead to a comeback, only death."

Lu Hong reiterated the strategic general policy to the Qin Long Guard Commander again, at this moment the Qin Long Guard Commander genuinely absorbed Lu Hong’s words, nodding respectfully and repeatedly.

"Alright, gather the useful supplies, and we’ll set off immediately to leave here!"

Lu Hong spoke out of his perception during the conversation with the Qin Long Guard Commander; this perception indicated possible ambushes and deadly traps to occur next within the Mingze Domain.

The two cavalry guards ravaged across the vast land of Mingze, the army of the Mingze Domain could only eat dirt behind, fundamentally unable to catch up.

But this situation won’t persist indefinitely; the opponent has had no movement for half a month, only chasing from behind, even a fool knows this can’t catch up. Hence the continued pursuit is surely a deliberate facade created by the opponent, and beneath the facade lies hidden a deadly trap.

But actually, Lu Hong overthought, although he wasn’t wrong either.

Overthought refers to the opponent’s scheming plots.

However, as for Da Qin’s two guards entering Mingze, the Sky Family doesn’t really have a good solution to deal with them.

Initially, the Sky Family had bloodwashed all family gatherings across Mingze, leaving their military strength somewhat stretched, and their cavalry numbers are quite precious.

If they were to clash with Da Qin’s two guards head-on, Sky Family Master is reluctant; compared to those cities, this family that came from Rongtian started from scratch, gradually controlling the entire domain, they are not afraid of not being able to rise again, but the premise of resurgence is having people, having troops and horses.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Sky Family Master, military strength is the fundamental he values most, although his cavalry is not weak, compared to the two guards, they are still far too inferior.

Based on the professional force assessment within the family.

A thousand cavalry from the two guards could at least trade lives for over ten times their cavalry.

Calculated this way, if only cavalry were used to pursue the two guards, it might lead to a total annihilation of their cavalry. Although the threat of the two guards would be eliminated, their Sky Family would also suffer an immense loss. This bargain, even under threat, Sky Family Master wouldn’t take.

But wanting to involve infantry to pose a threat to the two guards brings another awkward situation: they can’t catch up at all.

Thus, in half a month, the Sky Family Master has exhausted his brain; no solution was found to deal with the two guards ravaging within his domain, deeply troubled.

Eventually, the Sky Family Master sought out Ancient Titans.

Upon receiving the information from the Sky Family, the Gold Family’s Titan passed through a Teleportation Gate, came before the Sky Family Master, and laughed, "Sky Clan Chief, long time no see, how come your complexion seems far worse!"

The Sky Family Master did not respond to the joking but opened with, "Do you have a way to help me resolve the trouble of Da Qin’s two guards?"

Hearing this, the Gold Family’s Titan raised an eyebrow, "What benefit does it bring my Gold Family to solve it for you? Why should my Gold Family resolve this trouble for you?"
