The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 281-285

Chapter 281: Refining Corpses

It was impossible for the other two City Lords not to know about a massive battle between two main cities, but because they all had their own grievances, they didn't act and only watched from a distance.

Upon seeing Flowing Water City's side lose and escape, both City Lords let out a sigh of relief - the situation wasn't irredeemable. They had both thought that the matter was over when a massive amount of energy had suddenly exploded.

This energy was no ordinary energy - it contained a massive amount of Fate and tens of thousands of commoners' aura. They were incredibly shocked and hurried over, as they understood that this was the energy from a Nation Armament.

"Hmph, I hope you'll remember this because you'll pay for your actions today in the future," Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and could only retreat. He already couldn't defeat two City Lords, and now that another had appeared, it was impossible for him to win.

Even though the third City Lord was on the Chinese side, he didn't intend on helping Zhao Fu. Rather, he wanted to simply observe and collect the rewards after.

Since he would definitely lose, Zhao Fu could only give up on killing Hồ Ming. It was a pity that he had expended so much Fate - even though he had only used his Nation Armament for a few minutes, the amount of Fate he had consumed was massive.

Back then, Zhao Fu had used his own Fate to awaken the Myrtle Imperial Star and used the Myrtle Imperial Star's True Son of Heaven power to kill Li Mu and take over the Great Shun Town. After devouring Great Shun's Fate, Great Qin's Fate had been restored.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to recover Great Qin's Fate in such a short period of time, which made Zhao Fu quite wary when using his Nation Armament. At the same time, his own Fate was quite important, so he couldn't recklessly expend it.

He had used his Nation Armament for nothing today, making him feel quite angry. However, since the situation was like this, Zhao Fu could only calm himself down.

When she heard Zhao Fu's threatening words, the young woman looked quite serious, and she understood that she had offended this person and that she would most likely suffer for it in the future. The revenge from someone with a Nation Armament would definitely be quite serious.

However, she had to save Hồ Ming - not only had Hồ Ming helped her in the past, but they were also allies on the same side.

"Please, go on! Don't mind me; I'm just here to watch," the elegant-looking young man said as he smiled.

However, how could Zhao Fu believe his words? He coldly gazed at him before looking at the thousands of dead Vietnamese soldiers around him. He had wanted to collect these corpses, but that would expose his motive. Right now, his soldiers were also collecting corpses from outside Whiteleaf City.

If his motive was exposed, these people would definitely obstruct him, and he would lose out greatly. There were roughly 90,000 Stage 1 corpses outside Whiteleaf City, so Zhao Fu could only sigh, let go of the benefits in front of him, and turn into a black blur as he disappeared.

After Zhao Fu left, the remaining people from Flowing Water City and the green-clothed young woman let out sighs of relief. The elegant-looking young man felt quite bored, so he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

Hồ Ming had a grateful smile on his face and thanked the young woman before looking in the direction that Zhao Fu had left in. He suddenly felt that his adoptive father's death wasn't as simple as he had thought.

Zhao Fu returned to Whiteleaf City, and there were many people cleaning up the battlefield - there were not only Whiteleaf City's soldiers but also many players. Most of these players were taking equipment and other items. Because there were so many corpses, the value was immense, so almost all of the players in the vicinity were here.
