Chapter 1818 - 1821: Selfish Bastard

Chapter 1818: Chapter 1821: Selfish Bastard

Gourd Island, as the name implies, is an island that looks very much like a gourd.

However, on October 25th of Bu Yu’s first year, Gourd Island no longer resembled a gourd.

Because it seemed like a piece was broken off its northeast corner, making it appear like a damaged gourd.

However, at the moment, no one on the island felt disappointed about losing that piece.

In fact, they were cheering.

"Young Master Bu, eternal reign, unify Jianghu!"

"Young Master Bu, eternal reign, unify Jianghu!"

"Young Master Bu, eternal reign, unify Jianghu!"

This cheer from the Heavenly Dynasty resounded throughout the entire Gourd Island at that moment.

Of course, the Iron Cavalry, numbering one hundred thousand, was undoubtedly the main force behind the shouting!

And although the ordinary citizens didn’t know what the words meant, they obviously knew that Young Master Bu was the most esteemed being who brought them to their current lives!

So, even if they didn’t understand what it meant, it didn’t stop them from shouting!

The cheering sounded like a tsunami, and what followed was the routine banquet.

However, there were two groups of people who chose not to attend this banquet, which left the Iron Cavalry somewhat helpless.

The first group was the Dragon Group’s one hundred thousand warriors.

Although Lu Xiaobu had done his utmost to remind them, arranged a team of caretakers, and hardly let them participate in the campaign against Southeast Gourd Island.

Nevertheless, Lu Xiaobu’s unfortunate prediction came true.

Even under heavy protection, there were casualties, and quite a number of them at that.

This was a devastating blow to the Dragon Group.

Because under such circumstances, they couldn’t even grant the fallen the title of hero.

Although Lu Xiaobu and the Iron Cavalry didn’t mind, the Dragon Group couldn’t accept it internally.

They came full of ambition but ended up dragging their feet and returning home, which was intolerable to their sense of honor.

Thus, even though Lu Xiaobu repeatedly said it wasn’t their fault, they still chose not to attend this banquet.

The other group was the local faction’s race.

Due to the tight timeline of the exile plan, the local faction often resorted to direct orders, leading to many internal problems within their race.

There were even a few rebellions.

Now that the plan was successful, even though the local faction personally expressed a million percent desire to attend the victory celebration, as a king, he obviously had to handle internal matters first.

Lu Xiaobu also expressed understanding, and to help the local faction quickly pacify their people, even gave them benefits like choosing territory freely.

Additionally, because there were indeed quite a number of casualties among the local faction’s people during this plan, they deserved such rewards.

Of course, their absence didn’t overly impact the atmosphere of the victory banquet!

"Xiaobu, I toast to you!"

Mr. Wang came as a representative of the Dragon Group, raising his glass: "This time, we were too eager for success and made reckless advances, ignoring the warnings, I apologize!"

After saying that, Mr. Wang drank it all!

It was the responsibility he had to bear as one of the commanders.

Not only did he cause losses among his subordinates, but he also cast a shadow over what should have been a joyous victory celebration.

"Alright, why keep talking about this? Everyone understands!"

Dawa stepped forward to embrace Mr. Wang, and the remaining six gourd children also came to pour wine for Mr. Wang.

These things are always unavoidable, no one wishes for them to happen.

"Young Master Xiaobu, say a few words, shall we?"

Xin Lifeng, experiencing this kind of atmosphere for the first time, felt uncontrollably excited.

The unification plan was finally completed, and he was honored to be a part of it.

"Alright! Let me say a few words!"

Lu Xiaobu raised his glass: "First and foremost, to those brothers who sacrificed for the great cause, regardless of the reason, they are worthy of respect!"

Everyone nodded silently.

"Secondly, I toast to everyone! To everyone’s contributions, now, this island is our domain!"

"And third!"

Lu Xiaobu paused here and looked at the Iron Cavalry: "Brothers, you should all know why I came to this world!"

"To bring peace to this world!"

While pouring wine for Mr. Wang, Dawa replied without missing a beat.

"Shut up with your flattering nonsense!"

Lu Xiaobu chuckled and cursed!

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, the previously somewhat heavy atmosphere was swept away, and everyone burst into laughter.

"I came here to have a decisive battle with our old rival—Lin Feng!"

Lu Xiaobu revealed his ultimate goal.

Upon hearing this name, the Iron Cavalry tightly clenched their fists.

Indeed, Lin Feng was not only Young Master Bu’s old rival but also the old rival of their Iron Cavalry.

So upon hearing this name, they couldn’t help but feel their blood boil.

"And our agreed time is one year, today is October 25th, which means there’s only one month and five days left until the battle officially begins!"

Lu Xiaobu continued: "So, that’s not long, everyone shoulders heavy responsibilities!"

"Of course, it’s somewhat selfish!" Lu Xiaobu’s tone suddenly lowered a bit.

"What’s Young Master Xiaobu talking about? We volunteered to join the fight! Who dares say you’re selfish?!" Erwa turned around and shouted with a flushed face.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"We volunteered!"

The Iron Cavalry members shouted one after another.

"That’s nonsense! I was talking about you all being selfish!"

Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed and cursed at the Iron Cavalry: "Originally, my plan was to face Lin Feng one-on-one."

"But what happened! You all insisted on joining the fight!"

"Tell me, aren’t you selfish?! I didn’t have such a heavy psychological burden before!"

Xin Lifeng listened to this, his heart skipped a beat—what’s going on? How could Lord Lu say such things! Isn’t this ruining the spirits of the troops!

However!

"Hahahaha!"

The Iron Cavalry suddenly all laughed!

"You deserve it!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Who told you to bring us together! From the moment the Iron Cavalry was born, we were destined to cling to you!"

"Exactly! Exactly! Can’t shake us off!"

"Want to shove us away and go solo?! No way!"

"Wait, isn’t this Young Master Xiaobu being selfish!"

"Right, almost fell for the wordplay!"

Hence!

"Young Master Xiaobu, selfish ghost! Playing solo, no way!"

"Young Master Xiaobu, selfish ghost! Playing solo, no way!"

"Young Master Xiaobu, selfish ghost! Playing solo, no way!"

A bunch of rascals invented a new slogan!

Xin Lifeng: "Ha?!..."
