Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 399: Sinners of Great Wei, Come and Mine (2)

Zhou Shu calmly placed his hands on the hilt of the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword, his posture straight.

Xiao Jianghe’s heart trembled. He had clearly seen Zhou Shu kill Emperor Wei Wu.

Even ten of him would have died in that strike.

Besides, he already knew that the emperor had lied to them. How could he still have the thought of continuing to be enemies with the Nine Nations?

“King of the South, before I answer you, may I ask you a question?” Xiao Jianghe’s expression was solemn as he cupped his hands.

“Ask away,” Zhou Shu said calmly.

“How will the Nine Nations treat Great Wei?” Xiao Jianghe asked nervously.

Emperor Wei Wu was already dead. All his previous plans had now been verified. It was all for his own selfish reasons.

Great Wei was in the wrong.

“With what Great Wei did, you shouldn’t have continued to exist,” Zhou Shu said. According to his discussion with Meng Bai, he had planned to destroy Great Wei.

Now, though, his thoughts had changed.

Xiao Jianghe and the others were only accomplices. Although they were in the wrong, they could still be given another chance.

Xiao Jianghe was stunned for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “We won’t sit around and do nothing.”

“Even ants try to survive. If you had said that you were prepared to die, I would have looked down on you.” Zhou Shu nodded.

“However, although Great Wei is at fault, the responsibility lies with Emperor Wei Wu. You are only accomplices. You don’t deserve to die.

“If you can repent, I can guarantee that I will give Great Wei a chance.”

Xiao Jianghe looked at the calm Zhou Shu.

“Of course. If you don’t trust me, then let’s fight.”

Xiao Jianghe smiled bitterly. “King of the South, do we still have a choice?”

At the thought of Zhou Shu’s shocking sword, Xiao Jianghe couldn’t even think of resisting.

Moreover, Emperor Wei Wu was already dead. All of Great Wei’s schemes had been proven to be a mistake. If they continued with the mistake, they would only ruin Great Wei’s thousand-year foundation. What was the point?

“King of the South, we know that we have sinned and don’t dare to ask for too much,” Xiao Jianghe said in a deep voice. “Your Highness, as long as you can protect Great Wei, I, Xiao Jianghe, and all the Great Wei soldiers in this world will use our lives to make up for our sins.

“From now on, we will listen to your orders, King of the South!”

As Xiao Jianghe spoke, he slowly knelt on one knee. “Emperor Wei Wu is already dead. But the imperial family of Great Wei still has the bloodline. As long as Great Wei is still around, we will fight to the death!”

Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Jianghe for a long time before slowly saying, “Okay.”

Xiao Jianghe lowered his head, and two streams of tears fell.

“From now on, we have no face to be called soldiers of Great Wei.

Xiao Jianghe said in a deep voice, “The general of the criminal army, Xiao Jianghe, hereby swears that from now on, we will listen to the orders of the Great Xia’s King of the South. We will never go back on our word no matter what!”

“Get up,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “A fault confessed is half redressed.

“I believe that one day, you will be able to restore the glory of the Great Wei soldiers.”

Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Jianghe with satisfaction.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Xiao Jianghe was a first-rank expert. Other than him, there were still two first-rank experts in this army. There were also more than ten second-rank experts and more than twenty third-rank experts.

In addition, there were nearly 30,000 Great Wei soldiers. Strictly speaking, this force was even stronger than the Great Xia’s army in the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch.

It had to be known that in the other Nine Nations, there were only about ten thousand people in the army.

Only Great Wei still retained such strength.

Moreover, the Great Wei soldiers were also famous elite soldiers in the world. Only the Great Qin’s elite soldiers could defeat them. The three armies of Great Xia were slightly inferior to the Great Wei soldiers.

With these 30,000 Great Wei soldiers, the strength of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch would increase greatly!

“Xiao Jianghe, let me ask you, are there any more Great Wei people in this world?” Zhou Shu asked.

“No, we are all here.” Xiao Jianghe shook his head. “Back then, we were the elites among the elites. Even Great Wei only gathered fifty thousand people. Some of them died in battle previously. Now, there are only thirty thousand left.”

Sadness flashed across Xiao Jianghe’s eyes. More than a thousand people had died at the hands of Emperor Wei Wu just now. This was the emperor to whom they had always been loyal.

“Have you ever met someone called Sun Gongping?” Zhou Shu asked.

Previously, he had searched the space of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, but he had only searched briefly. He had only seen the location of the armies who were in groups. It was hard to spot one person.

And in the Great Wei army, he didn’t see Sun Gongping.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t Sun Gongping be in the Great Wei army?

“Sun Gongping?” Xiao Jianghe thought for a moment. “Is he the son of Marquis Weiyuan of Great Xia, Demon Executing Lieutenant Sun Gongping?”

“Yes.” Zhou Shu nodded. Sun Gongping had jumped ship from the Divine Constable Bureau to the Demon Executing Army and even had the title of a Demon Executing lieutenant.

“He was sent by His Majesty…” Xiao Jianghe smiled bitterly and continued, “to the Demon Realm!”

“Sent to the Demon Realm?” Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. When he entered Emperor Wei Wu’s dream, he hadn’t seen Sun Gongping. This matter should have been recent.

This was a little troublesome. The reason why Emperor Wei Wu could come into this world was not purely because of the imperial cauldron and the Mirror of Retribution.

It was also because of this that he could send Sun Gongping to the Demon Realm, and Zhou Shu couldn’t go to the Demon Realm now.

I hope Sun Gongping is lucky enough to survive, Zhou Shu thought.

Xiao Jianghe stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Zhou Shu didn’t say anything, so he also stood there like a wooden stake.

“Xiao Jianghe.” Zhou Shu pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Yes,” Xiao Jianghe replied in a deep voice.

“Here.” Zhou Shu pointed to the ground. “Take your men and start digging from here. Dig out this yellow sand.”

Xiao Jianghe was slightly stunned. “Turmeric crystals?”

Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Jianghe in surprise. “You know about it?”

“I was a Forging Master before,” Xiao Jianghe said with some embarrassment. “It’s just that my aptitude is limited. I thought that it would be difficult to have a future in the path of forging, so I switched to the Martial Dao.”

A talent.

Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect Xiao Jianghe to be a Forging Master.

This guy is a real humble brag.

Being able to become a Forging Master already showed his aptitude.

Many people might not be able to become Forging Masters in their entire lives.

Xiao Jianghe had already become a Forging Master, yet he still said that his aptitude wasn’t enough.

In the end, he switched to the Martial Dao and even became a first-rank expert. How many people would be able to achieve what he did?

“That’s right. Turmeric crystals.” Zhou Shu smiled. He had just killed Emperor Wei Wu with one strike, and the aftershock of the sword beam had cut open the ground, revealing the turmeric crystal mine underground.

Turmeric crystals were extremely hard ores that could be used to increase the hardness of weapons. Although it wasn’t too precious in the Ten Nations, it was still a good forging material.

Since he had seen it, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.

Moreover, he was still in a weakened state and couldn’t immediately set off for the camp.

“There should be a mine of turmeric crystals here. Take your men and dig it out,” Zhou Shu said.

Xiao Jianghe: “…”

I am an elite among elites and am qualified to compete for the title of the strongest soldier in the world. Although I am now a criminal, you want me to mine?

“What? Are you indignant?” Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Jianghe with a faint smile.

“If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Just leave.”

“I’ll dig!” Xiao Jianghe gritted his teeth. Did he have a choice?

Without the protection of Great Xia’s King of the South, Zhou Shu, Great Wei would probably be eaten alive by the other Nine Nations!

Isn’t it just mining?

What’s the big deal!

I mined when I was a Forging Master!
