Mechanical God Emperor

229 – The Bloody Lion Monarch Lawrence

“This is the water and food that the mighty God Ian has given you. Let’s pray before we enjoy them.” Said Yang Feng. Covered in sacred light, he stood on empty space. Besides, due to the miracle he just performed, he became even more inscrutable and full of mystery and sanctity.

Seeing the miracle performed by Yang Feng, bewilderment and hope for the future overtook the half blood beastmen. They knelt on the ground, put their hands on their chests, closed their eyes, faced the idols, and began to recite prayers: “Mighty God Ian…”

Very rich faith power exuded from the half blood beastmen and entered the idols.

Looking at the faith power, the corners of Yang Feng’s mouth rose and he revealed a smile: “So many true believers! Performing miracles is indeed the quickest way to recruit believers!”

These miracles, of course, were small tricks that Yang Feng had prepared beforehand. The pond that appeared out of nowhere, Yang Feng had previously moved the water to this place, then covered it with a membrane and a layer of nano robots that looked like red earth.

As for the breadfruit trees, Yang Feng treated the breadfruit seeds with the magic of thousands of magic stones. They would wither after a day.

However, after paying such a great price in exchange for thousands of true believers, Yang Feng still felt that he made a huge profit.

Every once in a while, the gods of the Feisuo Plane would perform some miracles to show that they existed, expand their influence, and gain more faith power.

Yang Feng frowned slightly and his eyes flashed with worry: “Unfortunately, the Bloody Monarch Lawrence is not a simple character! He came so fast!”

The Frozen Rock City.

The Frozen Rock City, which had a large part of it burned by Yang Feng, had changed greatly. Everywhere, there were huge tents with huge flags inserted on them. The flags had the pattern of a bloody lion.

The bloody lion knights were the elite army the Bloody Lion Monarch Lawrence commanded. Of the 20,000 bloody lion knights, every warrior was a lionman warrior as well as an experienced powerhouse who had cultivated qi.

The blood lion knights were the most powerful elite army of the beastman empire.

Apart from the bloody lion knights, there were still dozens of troops stationed in the barracks. The number of people in each troop ranged from 300 to 2,000.

Although the beastman empire was called an empire, but in fact, it heavily stressed on the tribal system. Although the royal lionmen and tigermen were the 2 strongest tribes in the beastman empire, but they could only order these tribes to dispatch their troops and fight a variety of battles. They couldn’t really control the troops of the different tribes

Although the beastman empire was a single empire, but it also had numerous internal constraints, which prevented it from gaining more land. The gods standing behind the different tribes of beastmen were not willing to let the lionmen and tigermen take full charge, unless they wanted the number of their believers to rapidly decline. There was no benefit to them.

In a huge tent in the middle of the Frozen Rock City.

“Who can tell me? Who on earth could sneak into the Frozen Rock City and openly murder Ahriman of the Copper Wolf Tribe!”

The Bloody Lion Monarch Lawrence was a handsome middle-aged man with a head full of blonde haired, lion ears, a lion tail wrapped around his waist, and a sturdy figure. He swept the people below him with a look and said frigidly.

In the tent, on two sides, stood the generals of the bloody lion knights and the generals dispatched from different tribes. The generals maintained a chilling silence.

Ahriman of the Copper Wolf Tribe was assassinated inside the heavily-guarded Frozen Rock City. This incident had become a laughingstock in the beastman empire. At the same time, it hit a nerve of the beastman empire, which was the reason why Lawrence came so quickly.

The beastman generals knew that Lawrence was bound to be very angry at this time. Thus, they maintained silence for fear of offending this fiend king.

The eyes of the Bloody Lion Monarch Lawrence flashed with an ominous glint and he said coldly: “Ahriman, this good-for-nothing, if he died then he died. But when he died, he let the fucking rebels burn the provisions of the Frozen Rock City. That’s a heinous crime. Pass my orders, the Copper Wolf Tribe is to hand over the relatives of Ahriman and they are to executed!!”

“Yes! Your Highness!” With an expressionless face, a bloody lion knight replied coldly and took his leave quickly.

The many generals of the beastman empire shivered and became even more fearful of Lawrence. Deep in their eyes, a trace of sympathy was revealed.

After an imperial aristocrat died in battle, his relatives couldn’t even receive protection. Many of the generals felt resentful towards Lawrence. But Lawrence was an grand prince. He was cruel and murderous and his status in the beastman empire was majestic. Naturally, no one dared to provoke him lightly.

Lawrence coldly scanned a fat foxman beastman with a look and said frigidly: “Zak, what’s the current status of the provisions?”

Zak replied fearfully: “Your Highness Grand Prince, our current provisions can only last 5 days. Subsequent provision are being transported from the state. All the provisions will be in place in about 10 days.

The fire Yang Feng set burned the provisions the Frozen Rock City’s vanguard prepared for the rest of the army and the effects finally showed.

Lawrence sneered: “Ten days! I’m not waiting a single day! Pass down my order, the silver lion troops will guard the Frozen Rock City! The rest will follow me into the Red Earth Wasteland to hunt those half blood beastman scum!”

Zak’s complexion changed greatly and he hastily advised: “Your Highness Grand Prince, you mustn’t! The half blood beastmen entered the Red Earth Wasteland several days ago. We don’t have enough provisions. Even if we catch up to and defeat them, we won’t have any provisions to return!!”

A wolfman general frowned slightly, then took a step forward and urged: “Your Highness Grand Prince, I think that Zak is right. If we pursue them now, we won’t have any provisions to return even if we win. Besides, we still have to support over 100,000 half blood beastman slaves. Our current provisions are just a drop in the bucket. And there’s still the problem of water. The Red Earth Wasteland is dry and short on water, it’s too dangerous to rush into it without prior preparations!”

Lawrence’s eyes flashed with a frigid glint and he said coldly: “Do you want to disobey a military order? Didn’t you hear that it was an order?”

The wolfman general lowered his head and said slowly: “I wouldn’t dare! Just that, it’s too dangerous to rush into the Red Earth Wasteland. If we aren’t careful, our forces might be completely wiped out in the Red Earth Wasteland. I ask Your Highness Grand Prince to reconsider.”

Without batting an eye, Lawrence said chilly: “Disobeying orders warrants beheading! Kill him!”

A lionman guard standing next to Lawrence instantly erupted with frightening Sky Knight rank qi, took a step forward, and, like a shooting star, slashed at the wolfman general with his blade.

With the flash of a blade ray, the head of the wolfman general, which was painted with shock, rose high into the air before he could react. A large amount of blood spurted out of his neck and sputtered throughout the tent.

When the generals saw this, their eyes flashed with grief and indignation, yet they lowered their heads one by one. In front of Lawrence, who was a grand prince, they were powerless to resist.

Lawrence’s eyes flashed with a brutal glint and he sneered: “Listen to me, with the strength of my army, it’s completely possible for us to stop those half blood beastman hybrids before they enter too deep into the Red Earth Wasteland. As for provisions and water, you needn’t worry. Since those half blood beastman hybrids entered the Red Earth Wasteland, there’s bound to be water and food. And even if there is none, we can still drink their blood and eat their meat. After were capture and bring back those hybrids who dare to provoke the beastman empire, we’ll let them know that they are born to be our slaves!”

When the generals of the beastman empire heard this, they felt a chill inside. Although Lawrence’s words were very reasonable, but the generals believed themselves to be civilized people, so they were quite conflicted about the part of eating half blood beastmen, which were intelligent life forms. However, they had no choice but to obey.

Lawrence asked coldly: “Understood?”

The generals replied uniformly: “Understood!”

Lawrence waved his hand and said: “Then go execute my order!”

The generals left and began to carry out his order.

“By the way. Grox, my good nephew, do you have anything to add?” After seeing that the generals left, Lawrence looked at a blond and blue-eyed, handsome, and imposing young man beside him with a smile yet not a smile and said in provocation.

Grox said with a light smile: “My dear uncle, you are the commander of this army. I have no complaints.”

Lawrence smiled and said: “The Frozen Rock City is our way of retreat, so it’s of great merit to guard it. Rest assured, I’ll leave you a few beauties when we capture those half blood beastman slaves.”

Grox was the commander of the silver lion troops. Lawrence intentionally left the silver lion troops in the Frozen Rock City just to prevent Grox from gaining any substantial merit.

The beastman empire heavily stressed on military merit. Without sufficient military merit, Grox couldn’t distinguish himself. The reason Lawrence wanted to personally lead the army in the pursuit of the half blood beastmen was that he wanted to obtain enough military merit and improve his prestige in the beastman empire.

No general of the beastman empire believed that they couldn’t match the half blood beastman, who were a mob without knowledge, military force, and equipment.

The pursuit of the half blood beastmen was a feast for dividing riches and military merit, while staying in the Frozen Rock City was a thankless task. That was the consensus among the generals.

Grox smiled as if he hadn’t noticed the ill intent behind Lawrence action: “Thank you for your kindness.”

Lawrence smiled with satisfaction and said: “Grox, you are getting more and more sensible!”

Grox said: “Dear uncle, I still have things to do. I’ll take my leave first!”

Lawrence didn’t care, saying: “Then go ahead!”

Grox got up and walked slowly out of the tent. Lawrence stared at his back and sneered: “Wait another 20 years if you want me to share my military merit!”

“Dear uncle, the half blood beastmen aren’t as simple as you think!” After Grox left the tent, the bright smile on his face faded and a chill flashed in the abyss of his eyes. “You’ll probably get a ‘surprise’ if you rush after them.”

“However, half blood beastmen are indeed weak! It’s still too difficult of a task for them to resist his bloody lion knights!” After contemplating for a moment, Grox suddenly sighed deeply, then looked in the direction of the Red Earth Wasteland and said inwardly: “Caesar, I hope that you can give me a surprise. Don’t let my uncle defeat you too soon.”

Lawrence’s bloody lion knights were at least Knight rank powerhouses. Among which, Great Knights could only be considered as small-time leaders. There were many Earth Knights and Sky Knights, 8 Firmament Knights, and even 2 Star Knights (level-3 Warlock).

The bloody lion knights were very powerful. No matter the challenge, Lawrence could crush everything and suppress any resistance by relying on the strength of the bloody lion knights.

At Lawrence’s command were 20,000 bloody lion knights and over 20,000 warriors from different tribes, which totaled a 40,000-strong army. Carrying countless provisions and other baggage, the procession advancing towards the Red Earth Wasteland stretched for a dozen kilometers.

2,000 elite cavalrymen of the bloody lion knights riding extraordinary life form demonic horned lions separated from the rest of the troops and rushed towards the depths of the Red Earth Wasteland.

Despite being cruel, Lawrence was also very skilled in military tactics. The 2,000 elite cavalrymen of the bloody lion knights riding demonic horned lions were sufficient to defeat the over 100,000 half blood beastmen with ease. The troops following behind could easily capture the over 100,000 of rooted half blood beastmen.

In the Red Earth Wasteland, Yang Feng’s embodiment of Caesar suddenly frowned lightly and sneered: “A vanguard of 2,000 bloody lion knights? If it weren’t for me, the half blood beastmen would indeed have no means of resistance. But now, things are different.”

Yang Feng thought for a moment, then had someone call Katherine.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and asked directly: “Sir Caesar, is something the matter?”

The pressure from the lives of over 100,000 half blood beastmen that weighed on Katherine and the other upper echelon half blood beastmen made them mature quickly. Katherine was well aware that at this juncture, Yang Feng would never call her without a reason.

Yang Feng said gravely, “Lawrence, that rabid dog, has caught up. I’m going to deal with him! I’m leaving you in charge!”
