285, Candidate for the Strongest Beater of Workers, Shock in the Camp
Zhou Shu was sitting on the hillside, playing with the Wei Dynasty's Zhenguo Ding in his hand.
Half of the small Zhenguo tripod was bronze in color, and the other half turned blood red.
This gave the Zhenguo tripod a strange feeling. When he held it in his hand and played with it, Zhou Shu could vaguely smell a bloody smell.
As a weapon maker, he can feel that the Great Wei Zhenguo Ding has been contaminated by blood and has lost its original characteristics.
It’s not quite accurate to say that it has lost its original characteristics. If I had to describe it, it would be like a man who has gone crazy. It can no longer be regarded as a tripod that protects the country. It may be more appropriate to call it a tripod that harms the country and the people.
"Emperor Wei Wu is really not a son of a man. A fine tripod that governs the country is so polluted that it has water in his head!"
Zhou Shu muttered to himself.
This Great Wei Zhenguoding is considered half-used in Zhou Shu's eyes. Unless he is willing to continue to infect him with blood, he will be on the same path as Emperor Wu of Wei.
Otherwise, the blood in Zhenguo Cauldron must be removed.
Neither method is easy to achieve, and Zhou Shu is too lazy to spend too much time and energy on it.
If he had that time, he might as well forge a few more weapons himself.
Emperor Wu of Wei needed to use evil ways to improve his strength. Did Zhou Shu need it?
No need at all.
Emperor Wu of Wei had been plotting for so long, yet he was easily defeated?
With the Atlas of Divine Weapons in his possession, Zhou Shu didn't need to do too many things at all. He just needed to build the weapons honestly.
That's why he is so persistent with the miners...
Looking at the nearly 30,000 former Wei warrior soldiers in the valley, now the criminal army, digging mines in full swing, Zhou Shu only felt that there was hope for the future.
"Xiao Jianghe!"
Zhou Shu raised his voice and said, "Be careful when digging and see if there are any other mines nearby."
"Get the order!"
Xiao Jianghe said with a stern face.
This Xiao Jianghe is not good in appearance, but his cultivation is good. The most important thing is that he is a weapon maker!
To be honest, the Wei Dynasty is really talented. Before Xiao Jianghe, Zhou Shu had seen the weapon masters with the highest martial arts training, which should be Xiao Shunzhi, the imperial master of the Wei Dynasty, and Xu Shi of the Qin Dynasty.
This Xiao Jianghe is the third weapon master he has ever seen whose cultivation has reached the first level of martial arts.
There are really many talented people in the Wei Dynasty.
The more Zhou Shu looks at Xiao Jianghe now, the more he likes him. In his heart, Xiao Jianghe has even replaced Wang Xin as the candidate for the strongest beating worker.
A person who can mine and kill enemies to earn rewards is simply the talent Zhou Shu needs most!
If those monster miners were replaced, the ore dug out would have to be re-sorted.
But this criminal army has no such problem at all.
Xiao Jianghe is a weapon maker himself. He is an expert in digging up weapons-making materials and how to deal with them after digging them out.
Even when he had already processed the materials for making soldiers, he put them together in different categories and worked in an orderly manner.
Zhou Shu is already searching for it. When he returns to the camp, he will have to forge a weapon for Xiao Jianghe with his own hands. He cannot let his talents go to waste.
There is also the Sin Army. Since they don't want to call themselves Wei soldiers, it doesn't matter if they are called the Sin Army. Zhou Shu doesn't care what they call them.
But since they have come under Zhou Shu's command, Zhou Shu must change their weapons.
These criminal armies are all elite soldiers. They will definitely go into battle to kill monsters in the future. If they beat workers, they must be treated as if they were beating workers.
Thirty thousand criminal troops, everyone is a top-grade warrior!
Zhou Shu even suspected that Emperor Wu of Wei had brought all the high-grade warriors and soldiers in the Wei Dynasty.
With such strength, in just two days, the entire valley has been dug up.
Xiao Jianghe came to Zhou Shu, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the turmeric crystal veins here have been dug out."
"A total of more than 93,400 kilograms of turmeric crystal ore was obtained. An additional 670 kilograms of black gold accompanied by turmeric crystals were obtained."
Xiao Jianghe's report was clear, and he even counted the amount of ore.
Zhou Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Well done."
"This is a reward for you."
Zhou Shu threw something casually.
Xiao Jianghe subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it and spread his hand, only to see that the thing was a dark black bracelet with dragon patterns imprinted on it. It looked very exquisite.
It’s just that he is a grown man——
"Your Majesty, this——"
Xiao Jianghe hesitated for a moment, he was really not used to wearing this kind of jewelry.
"No?"
Zhou Shu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Aren't you a weapon maker? You haven't made weapons for too long, and your eyes are hard to use?"
Xiao Jianghe was stunned and his eyes fell on the bracelet.
Raising his eyebrows, he tentatively outputted a stream of spiritual energy.
"Buzz——"
The bracelet made a soft sound, and a five-foot-square translucent space appeared in front of Xiao Jianghe's eyes.
His eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredible shock.
"This - this -"
Xiao Jianghe's voice was trembling and he couldn't speak.
"The Qiankun Bracelet has no other use. It is more convenient to carry things."
Zhou Shu said lightly, "The space is not big. I will try to improve it later, but I will make do with it for now."
Xiao Jianghe: "..."
Is this a magical weapon just for use?
Xiao Jianghe neatly put the Qiankun Bracelet on his wrist. No one could take this thing away unless his hand was cut off!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jianghe had mixed feelings in his heart. He confessed to being a traitor and joined Zhou Shu's army in order to atone for Wei's sins and allow Wei to continue to exist.
Unexpectedly, this is not yet atonement, but I have obtained such a weapon first!
He admires Zhou Shu extremely now. He can do this to a criminal general, but what about his own people?
Perhaps only such a kind person can be a qualified superior, like Emperor Wu of Wei——
Xiao Jianghe sighed, and a sentence flashed in his mind, you treat me like a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman!
"Your Majesty, please tell me what we should do next."
Xiao Jianghe said in a deep voice.
If he had only succumbed to Zhou Shu due to the situation before, now, he sincerely recognized Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu also didn't expect that a Qiankun Bracelet would have such an effect in winning people's hearts.
The Qiankun Bracelet is indeed nothing in his eyes. After this thing is developed, it is not too difficult to cast. He can cast it casually, so naturally he will not feel how precious it is.
However, in the eyes of others, the Qiankun Bracelet is simply more precious than a heavenly weapon!
Weapons that can store items are simply something that exists in myths and legends.
At least Xiao Jianghe had never thought before that there could be such a weapon in the world!
"Thanks to Emperor Wu of Wei, the strength of the demon world's army that descended on this world this time is much greater than that of our armies from the ten countries."
Zhou Shu said, "The armies of all countries have suffered heavy casualties. Now I have built a camp here to recruit all countries to join the army and prepare to fight against the demon army."
"Now that you have joined us, our chances of winning have increased by a few points."
Xiao Jianghe's old face turned a little red. Although the main responsibility for this matter lay with Emperor Wei Wu, and they were just following orders, they still could not get rid of all the responsibility.
"We and the criminal army will not let the army of the demon world enter the Ten Kingdoms even half a step!"
Xiao Jianghe said in a deep voice.
"Don't talk about death."
Zhou Shu shook his head. The army of the Demon Realm has most likely crossed this realm and invaded the Ten Kingdoms Continent...
If we really pursue responsibility, the entire Wei Dynasty should be destroyed!
"Since you have found your way back, you are our own people. I don't like the sacrifice of my own people the most."
Zhou Shu continued, "Our goal is to eliminate all the invaders. As for ourselves, of course, the fewer deaths we have, the better. It is best not to have to die at all."
"What I hope is that when you restore the reputation of Wei soldiers, these 30,000 people will still be around."
Zhou Shu thought in his mind that the more workers the better.
Xiao Jianghe's eyes were red, including those of the Wei soldiers below who heard Zhou Shu's words.
"We will follow the prince to the death!"
Xiao Jianghe shouted loudly.
Thirty thousand criminal troops all shouted, "We will follow the prince to the death!"
The shouts echoed through the sky.
Xiao Jianghe surrendered more and more. Only this kind of person who values the lives of soldiers so important is worthy of following!
Rather than being like Emperor Wu of Wei, all his soldiers are tools that can be sacrificed at will!
"I told you, don't talk about death."
Zhou Shu patted his forehead and said, "Let's go. Don't attract the demon world's army by making such a big noise!"
He stood up and took the lead.
Xiao Jianghe waved his hand, and the 30,000 criminal army ordered and prohibited everyone. Each person carried a part of the ore and followed in formation.
……
It had been several days since Zhou Shu left the camp. Meng Bai, Yin Wuyou and others were looking around the city with some worry.
Especially Meng Bai, he knew what Zhou Shu had done. Although he believed in Zhou Shu's strength, Emperor Wu of Wei had been planning for many years. Who knew if he had any hidden strength?
What if Zhou Shu capsized in the gutter?
Meng Bai was worried, but he couldn't say anything.
He promised Zhou Shu not to leak the matter about Emperor Wu of Wei, and even if it hadn't happened, he wouldn't tell others easily.
Emperor Wu of Wei colluded with the demon world and helped the demon world directly enter the Ten Kingdoms Continent. If this were made public, I am afraid that the morale of the army would be greatly disturbed.
On the ten continents, there are everyone’s parents, wives, children, relatives and friends.
"General, no good, there's a big army coming from the front!"
Meng Bai was standing on top of the wall, thinking about the next plan for the camp, when suddenly a scout rushed up to the top of the city and shouted loudly.
"The army? The army of the demon world?"
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, Zhou Shu is not in the camp. If the demon world army suddenly attacks at this time, they will definitely not be able to stop it.
You know, there are nearly a hundred first-grade monsters in the demon world army!
"It's not the army of the demon world. Judging from their costumes, they should be the soldiers of Wei Wu!"
The scout said.
"Wei Wuzu?"
Meng Bai was even more shocked. Zhou Shu left the camp and went to find Emperor Wu of Wei.
Now that Wei Wu soldiers are attacking, has Zhou Shu failed?
If that is the case, it will definitely be a disaster for the camp!
Without Zhou Shu, it's hard to say whether they can stop the Wei Dynasty, but there is absolutely nothing they can do about the demon world army!
"How many are there?"
Meng Bai quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"At least twenty to thirty thousand people!"
The scout said, "They are very fast. They will be able to reach us in half a day at most."
Meng Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, "Come here! Go and invite General Wang Mu and General Tang Chengshi!"
After saying that, he stepped down and his whole body rose into the sky.
Flying high into the sky, Meng Bai looked in the direction the scout said.
I saw a large group of figures in the distance, quickly heading towards the camp. The clothes they were wearing were indeed the clothes of Wei Wuzu!
This discovery made Meng Bai's heart sink.
Did King Zhennan really lose to Emperor Wu of Wei?
At this time, Wang Mu and Tang Chengshi had also come to his side.
The first-level commanders of the three major martial arts all looked at the figures in the distance.
"Wei Wuzu?"
Wang Mu had fought many battles with Wei Dynasty and was very familiar with Wei soldiers, "More than 20,000, almost 30,000!"
Wang Mu's face was solemn, "I'm in trouble."
The people in their camp have all been sent out to gather the remaining armies from various countries, and now only a few thousand people remain in the camp.
Without Zhou Shu, facing an enemy several times their own, the three of them didn't have much confidence.
"Moreover, we can defend the camp."
Master Tang Cheng said in a deep voice, "If we guard for a few days, our people will be able to come back. By then, we may not be able to destroy these 30,000 Wei soldiers!"
"We can't take it lightly. We know nothing about this Wei soldiers. Who is its commander? How many first-level martial arts experts are there in the army? We don't know any of this."
Wang Mu said in a deep voice.
"I suggest that before they arrive at the camp, we send someone to test them out."
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
Master Tang Cheng looked at Wang Mu and said.
This camp is a branch of the Great Xia Huaxia Pavilion. Meng Bai is half the master. Naturally, he cannot leave the camp easily.
Then only Wang Mu and Tang Chengshi can leave the camp to test.
The two of them did not reject this. They had long been filled with anger when Wei betrayed the human race.
"Wait!"
Meng Bai suddenly said.
"Look, the man at the front of the army looks familiar, right?"
Meng Bai pointed in the direction of the army and said.
Wang Mu and Master Tang Cheng looked intently. They were dozens or hundreds of miles apart. Even though they were first-level martial arts masters with extraordinary eyesight, the figures they saw were as small as ants, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
"That person can't be the prince, right?"
Wang Mu looked at it for a while and said hesitantly.
There are two princes in the camp, one is Zhou Shu and the other is Cao Chenyang of Daliang.
However, as long as everyone talks about the prince, they will default to Zhou Shu and Cao Chenyang, and they think so too.
"It seems - a bit like it."
Tang Chengshi said, "Prince Zhou, could it be that he has taken refuge in the Wei Dynasty?"
"Fart!"
Meng Bai and Wang Mu yelled at the same time.
"It is impossible for the prince to take refuge in the Wei Dynasty."
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, "Then, there is only one possibility -"
He and Wang Mu looked at each other, and both saw the shock and disbelief in the other's eyes.
"Your Majesty, has he conquered the Wei army?"
Wang Mu said slowly.
Tang Chengshi's eyes widened. How could he conquer 30,000 Wei soldiers by himself?
