Chapter 871: Appointment Tonight

"The population of the Eternal Kingdom exceeds a hundred million, but all the Third Rank, Fourth Rank, and Fifth Rank personnel combined only amount to 92.15 million."

"So this so-called population of over a hundred million doesn’t include the Second Rank, First Rank, ruling classes, and King Island residents."

"Luckily, before the various armies fully attacked King Island, I had You Ming compile these statistics, or else the various armies would undoubtedly be caught off guard."

According to the population and martial artist statistics of King Island compiled by You Ming:

King Island has a total population of 28.93 million, among which there are 24.75 million martial artists.

This number was enough to shock Ye Xiu!

The global martial artist allied forces, Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, Restorer Alliance, Prisoners’ Descendants Alliance, and Lin Feng.

The total number of these six forces is less than 8 million.

After the wars across various islands, the numbers will decrease somewhat, and by the time they attack King Island, having 7 million would be quite good.

And the army of more than 8 million mutated beasts, when annihilating the millions of Third Rank personnel on Everlasting Life Island, lost more than half.

Even if there are still 4 million left!

million troops, plus 4 million mutated beasts, 11 million combat power.

million, against 24.75 million!

This is not just a numerical disadvantage, but also a huge gap in quality.

For instance, the over 5 million global martial artist allied forces barely have just over 100,000 War Gods;

Regarding the War God count among the five forces—Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, Restorer Alliance, Prisoners’ Descendants Alliance, Lin Feng—Ye Xiu hasn’t counted, mainly because various forces keep things hidden, but Ye Xiu estimates, can they muster 100,000 War Gods?

It’s doubtful!

On the other hand, the mutated beast army, having gone through the crucible of war, has lost its weak ones, with a considerable number of War God level mutated beasts, at least 300,000.

However, the strongest mutated beast is only a Fourth Realm War God, with only 17 at the Fifth Realm.

At most, a rough estimate of our War God number is 500,000.

While King Island’s 24.75 million martial artists, how many War Gods?

You Ming’s statistics show 3,518,269.

But this number is inaccurate.

Because Lin Feng took some away;

The tribe members of the 101 squad were taken by Dizang to Seven-Star Island, including many War Gods;

Ye Xiu killed quite a few in Tiger City, like the War Gods of the Long Family, Qiao Family, Mei Family, and Cha Family—all wiped out;

The War God level prisoners in King Island’s prison have also all died due to "bounty" hunts;

Qin Qing bombarded and killed quite a few First, Second, and Third Realm War Gods at the four battlefields.

"There should still be 2 million left? The meat-selling young ladies are all War Gods, clearly, the Royal City has no shortage of War Gods."

500,000 against 2 million!

Haha!

The chances of winning are almost zero!

Even if we ultimately win the war and eliminate all the martial artists on King Island.

How many would be left on our side?

And how would we still fight the three Judicator Families?

"I need to change the war plan."

"We can’t fight head-on, or else everyone will be wiped out."

Ye Xiu walked silently for a while, took out his phone, and texted Leng Yue:

"Immediately withdraw from the battlefield with the Blood Cloth Guards and head to Moon City on King Island, kill all War Gods above the Fourth Realm under Lin Mu."

After sending it, he texted Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley:

"You two take the 101 squad and go to Nine Cities overnight, after killing everyone under Lin Mu, lead the team to Moon City to assist Leng Yue in killing the War Gods above the Fourth Realm under Lin Mu."

Leng Yue: "Understood!"

Sword Fanatic: "Understood!"

Lanshan Valley: "Setting off immediately!"

This method could slowly erode the number of martial artists on King Island.

If all 1.82 million civilian martial artists on King Island are killed, the pressure will be significantly reduced.

Next, Ye Xiu sent a message to Heavenly Sect Leader Jiang Keqing:

"Get your assassins to immediately carry out assassinations against the martial artists in each City Mansion on King Island, it doesn’t matter who the martial artist is, just kill them."

Jiang Keqing: "Why is that?"

Ye Xiu replied: "Don’t you find that there are too many martial artists on King Island?"

Jiang Keqing: "There are indeed a bit too many, alright then!"

Ye Xiu put away his phone, sighed toward the sky:

"Alas, too many enemies, I have no choice but to work harder and kill more!"

A new round of slaughter begins on the food street!

...

At dawn, Gongsun Tai and Sha Lidong hurried to the Zhuge Family.

As soon as he entered, Gongsun Tai questioned with a dark expression:

"Zhuge Qingfeng, didn’t you say yesterday that we’d receive news of Lei Xiaoming’s death early today? What happened? Overnight, 28 of my Gongsun Family members died."

Sha Lidong was even angrier: "31 of my Sha Family members died, my granddaughter’s husband had his head crushed by Lei Xiaoming’s foot."

"Do you two have the nerve to question me?"

Zhuge Qingfeng slammed the table and stood up, saying:

"Damn it, my Zhuge Family lost 53 people overnight, and you’re blaming me for not killing Lei Xiaoming? I requested your two families to deploy Fourth Realm War Gods, but you didn’t follow my command."

When Gongsun Tai and Sha Lidong heard how many people the Zhuge Family lost, they felt embarrassed about losing their temper.

In fact, those lost in last night’s battle were dependents of the three major families, not the Main Lineage, except that Sha Lidong was unlucky enough to lose a grandson-in-law.

"After last night’s battle, Lei Xiaoming must be renowned throughout the city, and now he’s become the little princess’s guard, making it even harder for us to kill him in the future," Gongsun Tai sighed.

Zhuge Qingfeng and Sha Lidong also looked like they were constipated but couldn’t pass, their faces flushed purple.

They were really angry, but truly helpless against Lei Xiaoming!

"Grandpa!"

At this moment, Zhuge Xiaoxiao ran over with a telegram, saying:

"The intelligence personnel report, Lei Xiaoming left a message on the street..."

"What message?"

Before Zhuge Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhuge Qingfeng, Gongsun Tai, and Sha Lidong asked in unison.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao said: "Tonight’s meeting!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qingfeng, Gongsun Tai, and Sha Lidong collectively gasped, their heads spinning with anger.

"That dog, Lei Xiaoming, is intolerable."

"Without killing Lei Xiaoming, I, Gongsun Tai, won’t be considered human."

"Lei Xiaoming, I’ll cut you to pieces!"

...

At eight o’clock!

Ye Xiu arrived at Yunluo Academy, where he bumped into Gongsun Shu, Zhuge Xiaoxiao, and a young stranger at the school gate.

"Hello there, Brother Shu, we meet again!"

Ye Xiu smiled and greeted warmly.

"Lei Xiaoming..."

Seeing Ye Xiu, Gongsun Shu’s expression twisted in rage, gritting his teeth:

"Don’t be smug; your despairing moment will come."

Zhuge Xiaoxiao and the young stranger also glared at Ye Xiu.

Passersby, students, and teachers stopped and watched; they had heard about Lei Xiaoming’s awakening from Gongsun Shu’s slap and his night-long slaughter.

Now seeing ’Lei Xiaoming,’ their eyes no longer carried previous ridicule and disdain but respect and fear.

There’s no choice, slaughtering so many people in one night while remaining unaffected, and the Official Family didn’t hold him accountable, who wouldn’t respect him?

"Dare to speak to me like that, aren’t you afraid of me slapping you?"

Ye Xiu smacked Gongsun Shu in the face, glaring and reprimanding him.

"You..." Gongsun Shu boiled with anger but didn’t dare retaliate.

This astonished the onlookers, students, and teachers, knowing that Gongsun Shu abused and humiliated Lei Xiaoming repeatedly in the past, but today being slapped by Lei Xiaoming, he actually didn’t fight back.

"Gongsun Shu, Lei Xiaoming is Third Realm; you’re also Third Realm, but he awakened only yesterday, undoubtedly not your opponent," Zhuge Xiaoxiao egged on from the side.

The onlookers were further shocked; Third Realm? Did Gongsun Shu slap Lei Xiaoming awake twice yesterday?

Amazement aside, the onlookers thought Zhuge Xiaoxiao was quite a green tea**; yesterday, because she received a love letter from Lei Xiaoming, feeling insulted, she went to teach him a lesson, but was struck by Lei Xiaoming’s lightning and humiliated in turn.

Not daring to take revenge herself, she urged Gongsun Shu.

However, they were quite curious whether Gongsun Shu dared to fight Lei Xiaoming now, and if he could actually beat him.
