Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nangeng City was a hot spot. The civilians in Nangeng City were very willing to work in the soap factories owned by the Wei Wu Army. The civilians in the lower ranks of society often could not breathe in the rigid hierarchy, but experienced some relief here.

In the past, ordinary citizens like Zhang Weiyu would experience exploitation wherever they went. Their tax liabilities were heavy as well. Whether they would be able to survive depended on the mood of the city head.

But now, if they worked in the soap factory owned by the Wei Wu Army, their salaries would not be taxed. This was Lu Shu’s right as the head of Nangeng City. This caused civilians like Zhang Weiyu who struggled surviving to flock to the factories.

Furthermore, the salary that they would receive was not low either. Many people realized that as long as they worked properly, they would be able to live a good life. Although it was slightly tiring, they still earned money.

There was no way to prevent fatigue. Who was not tired when they were alive?

Lastly, Zhang Weiyu himself knew the pain of the civilians. He had suffered from this rigid system. Thus, he was very merciful towards them.

Zhang Weiyu was once an Imperial Dragon Soldier that worked for the old King of Gods. It was said that compassionate people did not belong on the battlefield. But Zhang Weiyu was a kindhearted person. If not, everyone would not surround him and wait for the return of their king.

Thus, when Liu Yizhao found a new life as a scout of the Wei Wu Army, Zhang Weiyu also started thinking about what he was suitable for. He did not continue reminiscing his times as an Imperial Palace Soldier.

To be honest, Zhang Weiyu envied Liu Yizhao. After all, back then when they were Imperial Dragon Soldiers, Zhang Weiyu had led Liu Yizhao. But now, Liu Yizhao was embarking on his own path.

Faintly, Liu Yizhao had become the number one scout in the Luniverse…

Although an Imperial Dragon Soldier had become a small scout, was Liu Yizhao happy? Zhang Weiyu felt that Liu Yizhao was very happy?

Liu Yizhao was a soldierly young man. Now, he often joined the Wei Wu Army to drink and eat meat. His loud voice scared others. When he surrounded the bandits, his voice almost scared the bandits to death.

Furthermore, he did not have to think so much now. He just had to be a good scout. He did not have to command or use his head…

What about Zhang Weiyu? He thought about it. He did not like leading soldiers, as he could not stand the pain when his soldiers died one by one. It was as if the lives had been lost because of his unsuitable commanding. He was tormented by this.

Under typical circumstances, this kind of person would not become a commander. But when he was an Imperial Dragon Soldier, it was different. Imperial Dragon Soldiers could not die. It was very difficult to kill them.

Back then, his psychological problem had not been exposed. But now, it was different. The Wei Wu Army had not reached the standard of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.

Thus, recently, Zhang Weiyu was thinking. It was good enough for him to handle city affairs and manage the soap factories. He could also fight, but he could not become a commander.

In the past, when he was an Imperial Dragon Soldier, he had no choice, If the King of Gods asked him to become the commander of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, he could only become a commander. Now, Zhang Weiyu felt that being a commander was no good. It did not suit him.

At that moment, Liu Yizhao, Li Heitan, and the rest of the Wei Wu Army soldiers were sitting around the bonfire and chatting. Typically, the Wei Wu Army could only drink alcohol every ten days. Furthermore, they were split into batches. They could not allow everyone to get drunk.

Thus, when they were not drinking, they could only sit around the bonfire and boast. Li Heitan suddenly said, “These days are meaningless. I don’t know when the Great Lord will return. I miss him…”

Li Heitan was very pure and honest, as his thoughts were very simple. He would say whatever he thought. Typically, the big and tall Li Heitan was like a young child waiting for their parents to come home from work when he thought about their Great Lord.

Someone said, “I also hope that our Great Lord returns. Just a while back, we were fighting with the Black Feather Army. We stopped them everyday. It was very satisfying. Now, the aristocrat armies have gone to the West Region to fight. If the Great Lord returns, I think he will lead us there. We will go to the West Region to fight. We will go to the West Capital to fight… do you think that the Great Lord can become a Lord of Heaven?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Suddenly, they were excited. “Our Great Lord as a Lord of Heaven?”

Liu Yizhao smiled. “The West Lord of Heaven, Duanmu Huangqi, is a Master. A Master is much more powerful than a Rank One. How do we kill him? We can’t. Don’t think about meaningless things like this.”

“Should we go to the palace and find our Great Lord?” Li Heitan suddenly said in a low, muffled voice, “A few days ago, a traveling businessman told me that there are some bandits 300 kilometers east of the palace. He wants us to settle them…”

Everyone did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “That is over 1000 kilometers away from us. Why should we go? Who asked you to do so?”

Now, the Wei Wu Army was also known as the bandit eliminators. A majority of the bandits in the North Region had been defeated by the Wei Wu Army. They had no choice but to become good citizens.

The bandits were helpless as well. They could not defeat the Wei Wu Army!

The traveling businessmen realized that the Wei Wu Army was of great help. In the past, when they traveled and did business, if their slaves did not help them, they still had to pay some roamers to protect them. But now, this was not necessary. Everywhere in the North Region was very safe. The bandits were very dejected.

Later on, the traveling businessmen realized that the Wei Wu Army had to eliminate these bandits. Li Heitan stood at the entrance of the city and asked the traveling businessmen where the bandits were. The hobby of the Wei Wu Army was rounding up bandits!

Thus, many traveling businessmen started to tell Wei Wu Army where the bandits were. It did not matter even if they were very far away. What if the Wei Wu Army went?

But this time, Li Heitan said that it was too far away. It was over 1000 kilometers away…

Suddenly, Little Fury, who was eating grilled corn, was dumbfounded. Then, it took out its notebook from its small bag and wrote on it. “Let’s eliminate the bandits. After that, we can conveniently go to the palace…”

“Hm?” Liu Yizhao’s eyes lit up. He understood what Little Fury meant. “Lord Fury says that we can claim to be eliminating the bandits, but we are actually going to the palace to see our Great Lord. Lord Fury has a good way of thinking!”

Little Fury nodded its head and wrote. “You understand me!”

“But Old Zhang will not agree to this.” Liu Yizhao said with a sense of pity. “He is not foolish. The palace is a very complex place. He will definitely not allow the Wei Wu Army to risk it.”

But at that moment, Zhao Shuai, the chief officer of the Song Ji gambling den, flew over from the north. Liu Yizhao stood up. “Chief officer Zhao is here. But the Wei Wu Army does not have any alcohol here.”

Zhao Shuai frequently came to Nangeng City. Thus, he had interacted with the Wei Wu Army many times. They were very familiar with one another.

Zhao Shuai got straight to the point. “Something has happened to your commander in the palace!”

The news that Duanmu Huangqi was targeting Lu Shu spread like wildfire. After all, two Masters had clashed that day. The impact was huge.
