Chapter 920 Continue Moving Forward
After leaving Mountain City, Lu Yu and his team continued toward their next location.
Not far from the city, the three of them started chatting.
The two women were most worried about the final battle.
“We don’t know how strong the Ember Empire is now. What if we can’t defeat them?”
The Empress stroked her chin with one hand and weighed their options with a puzzled expression.
“Tell me, what if your five dragons combined can’t defeat the Ember Empire? What should we do next?”
Lu Yu looked at her exasperatedly. “You’re already discouraged before even fighting?”
“Of course not, but we must be prepared in advance.”
Lu Yu paused and replied, “Even if I can’t defeat them, I can still escape. I’ll find an opportunity to increase my strength and challenge them again after that!”
“In short, I won’t give up. If I can’t beat them now, I’ll do it later. If I can’t defeat them, I’ll fight them for the rest of my life!”
Seeing how determined Lu Yu was, the Empress nodded. “Alright, I believe you can do it.”
Helen, beside him, looked up at Lu Yu and said, “Yes, we can definitely defeat them!”
“It’s fine if she says that, but why does it feel strange when you say that?”
Helen immediately got up and asked, “What’s wrong with me saying that? Don’t tell me you think I’m a traitor to my country?”
“Technically…”
Helen immediately crossed her arms and said firmly, “I don’t approve of their actions, so I support you.”
“Many people in the Ember Empire are kind, such as Grace from Moutain City. I don’t think we should mix them up with those bastards.”
“Right, that’s true. Now, let’s fly.”
The three came to an empty space with a lake.
Lu Yu released the Water Spirit Dragon when he arrived at the lakeside.
The Water Spirit Dragon came to the lakeside and began to drink large mouthfuls of water.
Lu Yu took out the Void Evil Blade. Under the control of his mind, the Void Evil Blade began to dance in the air.
The next moment, the Void Evil Blade entered the lake and brought up more than a dozen fish.
The Water Spirit Dragon opened its mouth, and Lu Yu threw the fish into its mouth.
The Water Spirit Dragon swallowed it and seemed to be in a good mood.
“Alright, let’s go up. We’ll continue our journey!”
Lu Yu caressed the chin of the dragon and jumped onto its back.
After the three of them sat on the back, the Water Spirit Dragon began to flap its wings.
Whoosh!
The howling wind swept through their surroundings, making the surrounding trees sway violently.
The Water Spirit Dragon soared into the sky and rushed straight into the clouds.
Lu Yu flipped open his map of the Ember Empire’s territory.
If they were to go straight to the capital, they could skip a few smaller cities, but they would have to pass through a major city.
This was a massive city with many buildings scattered around it. It would be difficult to go around it, so they could only land and walk through it.
“The next city up ahead is called Green Sea City. It’s situated on a grassland. Once we get there, we can’t continue flying and must traverse through it.”
Helen replied, “No problem. I’ve been to that major city once, and it’s the furthest I’ve ever been to.”
Lu Yu looked back at Helen and asked, “How much do you know about that place?”
“It is built around a meandering river. The city has a population of more than 200,000. It is massive, and the various forces situated there are complicated.”
“How is the situation there compared to Mountain City?”
“It’s much better than Mountain City, environmentally. It’s a lush grassland with rich resources.”
“If I kill the ruling class there, do you think it will work?”
Helen nodded slightly and began to consider his option seriously.
“Mountain City is a special case. The City Lord there is too cruel and makes people wish they were dead. Therefore, when you kill those nobles, the people are elated.”
“But it’s a little different here. Although the nobles rules are still absolute, the people’s lives there are not that bad.”
Lu Yu understood and said, “In that case, let’s pass through this city normally and head to our next location.”
Lu Yu took out his phone and looked at his messages.
The Star Science Chamber of Commerce’s stronghold in the ancient ruins had installed many communication relay devices.
Lu Yu could now contact the Star Science Chamber of Commerce and report his coordinates.
If Lu Yu needed any help, he could send a request to the Star Science Chamber of Commerce.
He could also learn about what was happening in the outside world through the Star Science Chamber of Commerce’s stronghold.
According to the Star Science Chamber of Commerce’s report, the three main forces of the outside world had stabilized. They were now making ample preparations for a war against the Ember Empire.
Lu Yu kept his phone away and knew they had done well. His primary goal in going deep into the enemy camp was to find out the situation in the Ember Empire. Of course, Lu Yu would consider killing the Emperor of the Ember Empire if possible.
Lu Yu looked ahead. The massive city was slowly revealed.
A meandering river ran through this vast grassland, and Green Sea City was built on this river.
The river was like a rope that cut the city apart.
Lu Yu looked over and found that the city did not have a wall surrounding it. Perhaps the city was too big, and it wasn’t practical to build a wall around it.
“Let’s land. If we go any further, they’ll be able to see the dragon.”
As Lu Yu spoke, he controlled the Water Spirit Dragon to descend.
Boom!
The Water Spirit Dragon landed on the ground and crushed a large patch of tall grass.
After landing, Lu Yu and the other two jumped down from his back and put away the Water Spirit Dragon.
The three of them followed the crossroads and walked in the direction of Green Sea City.
After walking for a while, the distance between them and Green Sea City grew closer and closer.
Lu Yu suddenly saw a few horses galloping on the grassland not far ahead. The people riding on the horses were all dressed luxuriously with all kinds of jewelry.
Under the sunlight, the jewelry looked dazzling, attracting their attention from afar.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, one of them took out a bow and pulled it to the limit. After letting go, a sharp arrow shot out.
The moment the arrow shot out, it let out a whistling sound.
It instantly pierced through a wild bull running wildly on the grassland.
With a thud, the buffalo fell to the ground, and they slowly rode over.
“Their attire is too grand for them to be ordinary people.”
“They’re hunting. It’s a common form of entertainment in Green Sea City. However, only nobles are qualified to ride horses and participate in a hunt.”
“The reason is simple,” Helen added. “Ranches are monopolized by the nobles. If ordinary people want to hunt here, they have to pay a high fee.”
