Chapter 855: Blood Cloth Guards, On the March!

Royal Palace of the Royal City!

Lin Lei, the King of the Eternal Kingdom, was reviewing the map of King Island posted on the wall.

Each of the four cardinal directions on the map is marked with a red dot, representing the four major ports, which are also four battlefields.

"The war has reached this point, the enemy forces should have been mostly eradicated, right?"

Lin Lei smoked a cigarette, with a thoughtful look, and smiled as he asked.

The Guard Captain beside him said, "Even if they haven’t been eradicated, they’re probably almost done. By now, we should be in the cleanup phase."

Lin Lei laughed, "The global martial artist allied forces, Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, Restorer Alliance, offspring of prisoners, army of mutated beasts, and that rebellious son Lin Feng—these seven forces are truly not to be underestimated. However, rabble is rabble. If they had united and strategically advanced towards King Island, I would really need to expend significant effort to eliminate them. Unfortunately, they are too foolish, actually splitting their troops into four routes to seize the four major ports of King Island, waiting for me to fight them. They deserve to be wiped out."

The Guard Captain said, "So far, there’s still no news of that army of over eight million mutated beasts. Who knows what those invaders are up to."

Lin Lei sneered, "After killing all the people, what can a bunch of beasts do to overturn the tides?"

The Guard Captain agreed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hahaha..." Lin Lei burst out laughing.

Just then, a female secretary from the secretariat rushed in, flustered:

"Your Majesty, it’s not good!"

"You fool!"

Lin Lei berated, displeased:

"As my secretary, to panic and lose composure like this, what kind of conduct is this? You must learn to remain calm in chaos, unperturbed even if a mountain collapses in front of you."

The secretary quickly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Hmm!" Lin Lei nodded contentedly, and asked, "Speak, what’s happened?"

The secretary hurriedly said, "The secretariat has just received news that as early as five or six days ago, all the Official Family members in the city mansions on King Island, except for the Royal City, were all assassinated, ambushed, or openly killed within one day."

Lin Lei shivered upon hearing this, the cigarette fell to the floor, and he exclaimed in shock:

"Five, five or six days ago? Isn’t that right after I ordered the assembly of civilian martial artists across the island?"

"Yes!" The secretary nodded, "Reports say that after the city Official Family members were killed, all civilian martial artists lost their backbone, stayed in the city mansions causing trouble, and didn’t even go to the designated spot to assemble."

What?

Lin Lei and the Guard Captain were dumbfounded!

Just now, they were complacent, thinking the invaders of the four major ports on King Island had been mostly eradicated.

Turns out, the civilian martial artists hadn’t even been assembled, the war hadn’t even started?

"Why did it take so long to report this to me?"

Lin Lei roared, just earlier he was reprimanding the secretary for losing composure, needing to be calm, unperturbed even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. But now, he himself was flustered.

"Since You Ming destroyed the national network, we’ve only been able to communicate with subordinates via telegraph, and only City Lords have telegraphs and know how to use them. After they were killed, the civilian martial artists couldn’t contact us. This news came from those responsible for assembling the civilian martial artists in each city, waiting several days for the army to gather, then going to each city to check and rushing to the Royal City to report the situation," the secretary said.

Lin Lei inhaled sharply.

The invaders really played it well, deliberately killing all city Official Family members, disconnecting civilian martial artists from the cities and the Royal City, leaving him dreaming about the war situation all day.

"Your Majesty, the primary task now is to immediately send people to gather and control civilian martial artists from each city, then unite the forces to attack the invading army stationed at the four major ports," the Guard Captain reminded.

Lin Lei lit another cigarette, pacing back and forth, until the cigarette was finished, then said, "Order the Fourth Prince to lead the civilian martial artists, and it’s imperative to annihilate the invading army stationed at the four major ports."

Secretary: "As you command!"

Ye Xiu received a call from Ghost Shadow early the next morning, learning that the Fourth Prince had taken people to the cities on King Island to gather the civilian martial artist army.

"How many days do you think the people you’ve gathered from Phoenix Perch Island and Drunken Fairy Island to the four major ports can hold against the Fourth Prince?"

Ye Xiu looked at Qin Qing, Leng Yue, Chloe, and the Blood Cloth Guards, who had already completed Core Formation, and asked.

Qin Qing thought for a moment and said, "At most three days! Those people are mostly ordinary army composed of lower ranked individuals, and fourth rank martial artist army, with the strongest only reaching the Fourth Realm, not able to withstand much."

Speaking of this, she changed her tone, "But if I’m in command, holding for seven days is feasible, even longer."

Ye Xiu was surprised, "Have you eaten too many bullish candies from Wan Zi, daring to brag that much?"

Qin Qing was displeased upon hearing this, "Do you dare to bet?"

"Bet on what?" Ye Xiu asked.

Qin Qing thought for a moment and said, "If I win, you can’t play with the enemy in your vengeance plans anymore, just kill them directly."

"And if you lose?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Then I’ll listen to whatever you say in the future, you’ll be the head of the family," Qin Qing said.

Ye Xiu slapped his thigh, "Deal!"

Qin Qing turned and left with Chloe, and just at the moment she turned her back on Ye Xiu, a cunning smile appeared on her lips.

"Leng Yue, how long until the wars on each island end?" Ye Xiu asked.

Besides Heaven’s Gate Assassins, the global martial artist allied forces, Hell’s Gate, Restorer Alliance, offspring of prisoners, Lin Feng, army of mutated beasts.

Still waging war on fourth rank islands like Dream Island, Phoenix Island, Ice Spirit Island, Endless Island, Xiaoyao Island; and on third rank islands like Forest Island, Everlasting Life Island, Dragon Sky Island.

After all, there are too many enemies, and they’re not weak, wanting to kill them all isn’t something that can be achieved in a few days.

"At this pace, it’ll take a year or so to finish fighting."

Leng Yue angrily said,

"None of the people from various forces are fighting seriously, especially the global martial artist allied forces, they’re just messing around."

"Hell’s Gate and Restorer Alliance aren’t putting effort; they wish for other forces and enemies to fight to the death, while not losing a single person, and then take advantage."

"The offspring of prisoners are fighting hard on Dragon Sky Island, but over 3 million third-rank individuals are scattered across three islands, the number of offspring of prisoners is limited, cleaning Dragon Sky Island thoroughly is difficult."

"The million third-rank individuals on Everlasting Life Island are almost dead, over eight million mutated beast army strictly follows your orders, aside from eating and sleeping, they’re conducting a carpet search across the island; Lin Feng and his tens of thousands of followers are working well with the mutated beast army, it’s estimated that in another two or three days, the third-rank individuals on Everlasting Life Island will be wiped out."

Ye Xiu frowned!

Throughout history, joint forces formed by various vassals are the hardest to control, hardest to unite, hardest to twist into one rope; hoping other vassals suffer more so they can retain strength for greater benefits.

"You go to each island and clean up, encountering those who slack off, show no mercy. Tell everyone from different forces, anyone who dares to mess around, I’ll eliminate them first," Ye Xiu coldly said.

"Understood!"

Leng Yue immediately led the Blood Cloth Guards away, at this moment, a bloodthirsty gleam shone in their eyes.

The Blood Cloth Guards, set off!
