Chapter 593 Xu Mo
Zhao Yan and Lin Shu stood together. Both of them nervously lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.
“When you two were chatting, you seemed quite confident in your superiority. Why are you all lowering your heads now?”
Lu Yu asked.
Zhao Yan and Lin Shu were a little nervous after watching Lu Yu’s performance in the battle earlier; it had made them clearly realize the huge gap between their strengths and Lu Yu’s. They did not dare have a falling out with Lu Yu, or they would die here!
“It’s nothing. We’re just studying how to repel the beast tide and how to make adequate preparations for the next beast tide of the same scale.”
Zhao Yan laughed awkwardly and spoke in a calm tone.
“Oh, really? But there’s no need to study it when you just need to let your men prepare their defenses and not look down on the enemies.”
“Also, if the two of you were to go up and kill the enemies personally, you would be able to deal with the beasts better, right?”
Lu Yu asked with a smile, looking very calm.
“Yes, if the two of us go up, we could be of help. But in a war, the leader doesn’t have to participate personally.” Zhao Yan explained with great difficulty.
“Is it unnecessary, or do you not dare?”
Having struck his sore spot, Zhao Yan immediately got irritated. “I don’t dare? Are you kidding me? I’ve been through hundreds of battles; why would I be afraid of this?”
“The purpose of the two of us here is to contact reinforcements from the outside. There’s someone strong in our team still outside. As long as he returns, he’ll be able to deal with this beast tide in minutes!”
Lu Yu took a glance at the stronghold. The ground was filled with corpses, which made him unhappy.
“So many people died; they shouldn’t need to die.”
Zhao Yan shrank his neck and muttered softly, “If you had taken action earlier, they wouldn’t have died…”
Lu Yu turned around and glared at him, angrily rebuking, “Say that again! Whose fault is it?”
Zhao Yan lowered his head and didn’t say anything more.
After thinking for a long time, he continued. “The battlefield is constantly changing. I didn’t let you fight initially, but did you really have not to do anything? Can you blame me wholly for what happened?”
Lu Yu took a step forward and stretched out his right hand, grabbing Zhao Yan’s neck!
Zhao Yan felt his neck tighten, and he was getting suffocated.
Lu Yu lifted him up; no matter how Zhao Yan struggled, he didn’t let go.
“Today, you must die to atone for your sins. You are not a competent leader for your team!”
Zhao Yan struggled as he stuttered, “You… you’re still not a military member. You have no right to punish me! If… It will be treated as attacking the military if you dare to touch me, and the military will not let you off!”
Lu Yu chuckled. “You seem to know the rules of the military very well.”
“Hurry up and let him go!” Lin Shu added. “You’ll be making a big mistake if you this! Don’t be this stubborn!”
Lu Yu glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get a share too.”
Lin Shu was shocked by his answer and took two steps back.
Lin Shu’s walkie-talkie rang, and a familiar voice came through.
“Hello, I’m Xu Mo. I’m already outside the city. How’s the situation inside?”
Lin Shu quickly spoke in a terrified tone, “Come in quickly! The battle here hasn’t stopped yet. Someone wants to kill me!”
“What? Wasn’t it a beast tide? Why is there someone who wants to kill you?”
“Yes, it’s an outsider. He said he was here to help us but came here to cause trouble!”
“How dare he touch a member of the military! Wait for me; I’ll be there soon!”
After that, the walkie-talkie signal ended.
The other party’s tone was cold and indifferent; there wasn’t any emotion in his tone, but it was sharp and curt. Just from this conversation, it could be heard that the man had a strong attitude.
“Calling for help? Sure, let him in and see what the situation is like.”
Lin Shu looked straight at Lu Yu, her eyes full of confidence. Xu Mo’s return had given her ample confidence.
“You’re dead. This person is from the special forces, and his strength is beyond your imagination. The team has only three hundred people, and each is a top expert!”
Lu Yu chuckled. “I don’t care where he’s from. Today, the two of you must atone for your sins with your deaths. Killing you quickly won’t be enough to vent my anger. It’s better to feed you to those fierce beasts and let them eat you alive!”
Hearing this, Lin Shu shuddered and looked at Lu Yu with fear.
Zhao Yan, whose neck was tightly held by Lu Yu, also struggled madly.
The ferocious beasts were gone from the stronghold. The ground was full of corpses, flesh, and blood.
This was a common sight following a beast tide, bloodier than a war.
Fortunately, most of them were beast carcasses, so it did not cause much psychological trauma.
Without Lu Yu’s command, the undead puppets just stood there without moving.
At that moment, a figure slowly walked in through the shadows of the shattered fortress gates.
He was alone, walking among the corpses. His pace was hurried, and he quickly entered the stronghold.
After he walked in, everyone finally saw his appearance.
He was dressed in black casual clothes, with a long sword on his back and both hands in his shirt pockets. When he came in, he looked left and right.
After that, he set his eyes on the beasts in front of him.
These ferocious beasts were all Lu Yu’s undead puppets. However, in Xu Mo’s eyes, they seemed like a unique breed of ferocious beasts.
“It’s not over yet? As expected, I’m needed here.”
His right hand reached behind his back and pulled out a long sword.
In the next moment, the silver-white sword shone with a cold light.
Swoosh!
He quickly rushed over and charged at one of the undead elephants.
When the soldiers in the distance saw Xu Mo, they began to discuss among themselves.
“That person… I think it’s Xu Mo?”
“Oh, I only saw him once on the team when I was teleported here. I haven’t seen him a second time since.”
“He actually came back. I thought he died outside.”
“Is this one of us?”
“Oh no, he’s fighting against the puppets. What should we do?”
“Hurry up and stop him!”
“Don’t bother about him. He wasn’t even here with us when the beasts attacked.”
The soldiers continued to clean up the battlefield while Xu Mo rushed up and started fighting with Lu Yu’s undead puppets.
At that moment, Lu Yu looked down from the fortress gates and saw Xu Mo.
“Interesting. He came at such a right time.”
Zhao Yan was so angry that he wanted to curse Xu Mo when he saw him fighting the undead puppets.
“This bastard, we… we’re up here!”
Lu Yu suddenly flung his hand and threw Zhao Yan to the ground.
“Don’t fret; I’ll judge you slowly. But I’ll say this first; you two will be dead soon!”
“Do it if you dare!” Lin Shu confidently retorted.
“With Xu Mo around, he won’t let you mess around!”
