Chapter 1301: Retribution
The black-armored leader put away the soul box, pointed at the cauldron, and said to the villagers: "He is yours now."
The team began to walk out, just as abruptly as they came.
The villagers of Liuping looked at each other, not knowing what happened here and why the black-armored army came.
The old woman stepped forward and asked cautiously: "You, who are you?"
They had never heard of such a powerful, mysterious, and extremely cruel existence nearby.
"I am the punishment of these evil people!" The black-armored knight said leisurely, "They are a disaster to the world, and I come to convert them with my own hands. This is called retribution!"
Heavenly punishment? Convert?
The entrance of the vegetable market was silent, and everyone was trying to digest this information.
What exactly is retribution?
The yellow-haired woman came back to her senses first, looking at him incoherently: "You, but, Liuping?"
These black-armored cavalry came only for Zhao Guangzhi? Don't they occupy Liuping?
There has never been such a precedent before.
Aren't the people who boiled Zhao Guangzhi more violent and fierce than him?
This is why everyone is trembling with fear, but now this black-armored army is planning to leave?
The black-armored leader said: "Zhao Guangzhi was defeated by Shi Zhoutou tonight. Those who once defeated him will arrive here at noon tomorrow at the latest."
There was a whisper in the crowd:
"Zhao Jun was in a mess tonight, and he was defeated as expected!"
"I heard that Shi Zhoutou's army was led by their local garrison."
He Lingchuan squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the mount continued to move: "How to treat them is up to you to decide."
The yellow-haired woman asked: "Why did you come tonight, just to execute Zhao Guangzhi in public and let us avenge?"
After this black-armored army captured Zhao Guangzhi, they did not kill him with a single knife, but brought him to Liuping, letting the villagers retaliate with tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and boil this ogre alive.
Their methods were so cruel, but their motives were so... She didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
The horse walked past her, and the black-armored leader walked eastward without looking back:
"The law of nature is clear, and retribution is inevitable. This is what you deserve."
These words also echoed in everyone's heart, as if the lingering sound was still lingering after circling the thousands of mountains.
The first rays of morning light just happened to be revealed in the eastern sky.
It was dawn.
This night, which was both chaotic and bizarre, with absurd reality and the joy of revenge intertwined, finally passed.
A brand new day, a day not oppressed by ogres, has arrived.
People looked east, and the backs of each black-armored knight were coated with a layer of soft golden light by the morning light.
There was a clattering sound behind.
Dong Rui looked back and reported to He Lingchuan in real time: "Hey, many people knelt down and kowtowed to you...Oh, many people also knelt down and cried bitterly."
He Lingchuan corrected: "Not only for 'me', but for 'us'."
This was not just for Dong Rui to hear.
"That's right." Dong Rui straightened his sore shoulders, "It's for us."
The black-armored knights couldn't help but look back and saw a large group of people kneeling down in the back.
So many villagers bowed their heads to the ground, prostrating themselves to them, thanking them for saving them from the sea of suffering.
When the villagers looked up, the black-armored knights saw the genuine gratitude on their faces.
In this passionate battle that night, they saved the civilians of the two cities and gained the kindness of thousands of people.
The cavalrymen all straightened their chests.
They had to take a deep breath to suppress the pride in their hearts and continue to ride forward.
Wanqi Liang inexplicably thought of the boy in the dark alley of Shizhoutou. Thinking back to the time when the Bailong tribe escaped from the Ya Kingdom, they hid from east to west along the way, and they were hungry. There were also many children in the tribe who were pale and thin, just like that boy.
Some weak children disappeared silently.
He Lingchuan didn't even look back, and he could hear the murmurs of the crowd behind him.
Like gratitude, like supplication, and like prayer, it became particularly clear through the amplification of the Qianglong Armor.
He seemed to be able to hear every word, even if people just mumbled in their mouths.
He Lingchuan closed his eyes and let out a breath.
The wish power collected by the Qianglong Armor really increased again.
Before he walked out of Liuping, new wish power gathered from all directions, bit by bit.
He could clearly feel that they came from the two places he just passed.
Although the number was not large, He Lingchuan was in a particularly good mood. Because in addition to the two experiments of Liu Chengshou and cooking Zhao Guangzhi, it can be proved that doing things that please people can really accumulate wish power quickly.
This experiment also proves that what he wants to win from now on is people's hearts.
This actually coincides with his strategic goal of entering the Flashing Gold Plain!
He Lingchuan pressed the God Bone Necklace. Well done. The recasting of the Qianglong Armor was of great help to him.
But he also felt that the karma attached to the Qianglong Armor also increased a little bit.
This is a nasty thing, following you like a shadow, you can't get rid of it.
The recasting of the Qianglong armor is like a double-edged sword, he can't just have the positive effect.
At this time, Wanqi Feng also drove his horse over to report:
"I just interrogated two Zhao army prisoners, both of them said that there was an elite team in the army, brave and invincible, and well-organized. Zhao Guangzhi used it to resist the enemy and was always successful. But more than 20 days ago, this team suddenly collapsed for some reason, and its performance on the battlefield was mediocre."
"More than 20 days ago?" Dong Rui suddenly realized, "The business scope of the Xuanlu Ghost King is very wide, even Zhao Guangzhi is involved with it."
He Lingchuan sneered: "One is the ghost king, the other is an ogre, they are like-minded."
They both love to eat living people.
More than 20 days ago, He Lingchuan destroyed the ghost king Xuanlu. Then the ghost king's clone placed with Zhao Guangzhi was of course destroyed along with him.
Calculating the time, it happened to be when Zhao Guangzhi attacked Shizhoutou.
"No wonder Zhao Guangzhi suddenly retreated!" Dong Rui took off his gloves and snapped his fingers. "The ghost king's clone suddenly disappeared, disrupting Zhao Guangzhi's position. Shizhoutou's resistance was particularly fierce. It didn't look like it could be defeated in a short time."
The team trotted forward, getting farther and farther away from Liuping.
Passing by the deserted valley, the scout returned and reported: "There is no one around three or five miles."
Everyone immediately put away their armor and weapons and changed back into their regular clothes.
The stern and fierce black armored army. In a blink of an eye, they turned back into Yangshan's guards, and they all looked like ordinary people. Dong Rui patted his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally took it off. He was really not used to it!
"Disperse." He Lingchuan ordered Wanqi Feng, "Don't let people associate it."
"Yes." Except for He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, the remaining dozens of people immediately divided into three groups and dispersed like flowing clouds.
Their missions in Shizhoutou and Liuping have been completed.
"There are still too many people coming out to perform the mission." The more people there are, the bigger the target is, which is not conducive to dispersing afterwards. He Lingchuan looked at the backs of the crowd, "We will do fewer such big tasks in the future, and the number of people should be further streamlined."
