Chapter 434: Ten Thousand Men!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After several battles, Zhao Yu took a brief rest before getting to the main topic with Chu Yue Yue.

They discussed the details of their cooperation, and after reaching an agreement, Zhao Yu handed over the tank and other equipment to Chu Yue Yue.

“Brother Yu, there will be plenty of time in the future. Once the city is built, we could…more for next time!” Chu Yue Yue, having received nourishment from Zhao Yu and acquired the tank and other equipment, was now completely satisfied. Her gaze towards Zhao Yu was filled with tenderness.

She had overestimated herself, thinking her judgement will not affect by Zhao Yu. But Zhao Yu's powerful tactics had completely subdued her.

For a moment, she even considered living together with Zhao Yu, as husband and wife.

After parting ways, Chu Yue Yue gradually regained her composure and returned to her usual lofty demeanor.

Once she left, the deep affection in Zhao Yu's eyes slowly faded and returned back to his base.

He was not someone easily swayed by romantic emotions.

Naturally, he wouldn't change his plans for a woman.

However, he glanced at the house where they had stayed and ordered it to be destroyed, then returned to Zhao Family Fort.

A day later.

News came from Peace Town about the construction of a new city, inviting various forces to join the ceremony.

The three neighboring cities were not expecting it to happened so soon, as was the wilderness.

In the Zhao Family Fort, everyone discussed this, but no one knew that Zhao Yu was involved in it.

Zhao Yu did inform Meng Xian about the alliance with Peace Town.

“She's your ex-girlfriend?!”

Meng Xian was not expecting the leader of Peace Town to be Zhao Yu's ex-girlfriend.

“Yes, we met back in high school…”

Zhao Yu didn't elaborate about Chu Yue Yue, focusing instead on the cooperation.

Meng Xian wasn't resentful. She had already adapted to the concept of powerful men having multiple wives and concubines, and began to analysis the situation.

“So, we're intercepting the troops from Black Rock City?!”

“Exactly!”

“Black Rock City's Xu family won't make a move, and the other two families won't deploy much force. The Han family might need put in all their force, which would be a good opportunity to eliminate them…”

The Xu family won't make a move?!

Meng Xian thought of the satellite phone sent by Luo Bing, “Do you have a connection with the Xu family?!”

Zhao Yu became a bit awkward: “Xu Jia Lu, the head of the Xu family, is my ex-girlfriend…”

“She's also your ex-girlfriend?!”

“How many ex-girlfriends do you have?!”

“Not many, just four…”

Four…

Meng Xian recalled Zhao Yu's ability to build underground shelters and his past as a wealthy man.

What she couldn't understand was how Zhao Yu managed to have two ex-girlfriends were such significant figures.

It seemed like a case of same people will attracts the same.

She realized Zhao Yu accepted her as his partner too. Did that mean she also had the potential?

With this thought, Meng Xian felt quite pleased.

“By the way, I've brought the Xu sisters to the fort…”

“Okay!”

She had been nervous, unsure if her actions were right.

To her relief, Zhao Yu accepted it readily, “How are you going to reward me?!”

Zhao Yu felt a headache coming on. He even thought he would have to discipline Meng Xian thoroughly with his main body and first clone.

Of course, his main body and first clone were hundreds or even thousands of light-years away.

He decided to tease Meng Xian, “If you can do a handstand split…”

Without a word, Meng Xian did a backflip, planted her hands on the ground, and raised her legs parallel to the floor, reaching Zhao Yu's waist.

For her, such a move was easy, even if she had to hold it for three to five hours.

“Hisss—!”

Zhao Yu gasped in surprise, not expecting Meng Xian to be able to perform it.

Suddenly, he felt that having Meng Xian as a third-tier enhancer wasn't such a bad thing; at least, they could try many interesting things.

After another bout of tumultuous activity, Zhao Yu fell asleep holding Meng Xian.

In Black Rock City's city hall,

“Zhao Yu must be backed by that Peace Town…”

“This is a provocation against Black Rock City. We must hit them hard…”

At the conference table, the Han family head spoke passionately, as if Zhao Yu had committed an outrageous crime against Black Rock City.

The other three families appeared disinterested, with Xu Jia Lu yawning repeatedly.

She was not in a good mood. According to Luo Bing, Zhao Yu seemed to have gone to see Chu Yue Yue.

And from the news she heard from Chu Yue Yue, it seemed they got along quite well, which annoyed her.

She wondered if Chu Yue Yue and Zhao Yu might have done something together.

“Enough, let's stop talking about it…”

Xu Jia Lu stood up and said directly, “My family will not get involved in this. How many troops you want to send is up to you…”

Not to mention her relationship with Chu Yue Yue, she wouldn't send troops against Zhao Yu alone.

The Han family was helpless; this lady was not someone he could afford to offend.

The Fang Group was crucial; without Xu Jia Lu's connections, Black Rock City wouldn't have been built.

After Xu Jia Lu left, the Han family turned to the remaining two family heads and continued his tirade.

“Fine, fine, stop spitting. My family will send a thousand troops, consider it a training exercise for our younger members…”

“My family will also send a thousand…”

The other two family heads clearly didn't want to exert too much effort and each decided to send a thousand troops.

Seeing no further possibility, the Han family had to accept the situation.

Getting two thousand troops from these families was not a bad deal.

With their own Han family troops and mercenaries, Black Rock City could muster over ten thousand soldiers.

“Since it's like this, I'll issue a mobilization order in the name of Black Rock City!!!”

“Do whatever you want, but the expenses are on you, we won't pay a dime…”

“Fine!”

The Han family patriarch had no choice; after all, he held a grudge against Zhao Yu.

Normally, when a new city was established nearby, they would all act together.

But the other three families decided not to exert much effort, leaving it all to the Han family.

The Han family was fearing that if Peace Town was successfully established, Zhao Yu would rise in power, making him harder to deal with later.

Moreover, if Zhao Yu became fully powerful, the Han family would suffer greatly.

As soon as the mobilization order was issued, several mercenary groups signed up.

Additionally, members of combat teams were eager to join, hoping to make a profit.

“Sister Bing, are we really not going?!”

“The Han family announced three thousand troops, plus the top ten mercenary groups, four or five of which declared their participation. That's five or six thousand people…”

“With so many people going, winning is not a problem, and we can also make some extra money…”

Other members of Luo Bing's team were also tempted, assuming it as an easy victory with substantial benefits.

“No, we're not going!” Luo Bing shook her head. She had tested Xu Jia Lu's stance, and she was not willing to contribute a dime.

As Xu Jia Lu's private soldiers, they dared not act independently, especially since Luo Bing had previously represented Xu Jia Lu in a visit to the Zhao Family Fort.

She understood that there were unspeakable secrets between Zhao Yu and Xu Jia Lu, and speculated that Xu Jia Lu might even assist Zhao Yu if the war turned unfavorable for him later.

In fact, she guessed right.

Xu Jia Lu was currently on a call with Chu Yue Yue.

“10% of the shares. Zhao Yu's side is defeated. I'll send troops to help you stop the Han family's soldiers…”

Xu Jia Lu wasn't completely uninterested, she just wanted to be a fisherman.

Xu Jia Lu planned to enter the scene after the Han family and Zhao Yu had fought fiercely, potentially to the death. This way, she could gain benefits from Chu Yue Yue and save Zhao Yu.

The mere thought of Zhao Yu in Zhao Family Fort made her teeth itch with rage. If it weren't for the substantial number of soldiers in Zhao Family Fort, she would have gone to confront him long ago.

Now that the Han family was mobilizing to fight against Zhao Yu, she secretly wished for Zhao Yu to lose. Then she could keep him at home, tormenting him thoroughly as revenge for past deceptions.

She believed that if Fang Yue E knew Zhao Yu was with her, she would not hesitate to fly over.

“You really have a big appetite…” Chu Yue Yue didn't refuse, not believing Zhao Yu could win as well.

The current military layout mostly focused on the east and south, facing the other two cities.

But a small force was still prepared to defend against the people from Black Rock City in the west.

With Xu Jia Lu's involvement, they could ensure the west was secure.

However, a 10% interest was too much.

After some negotiation, the two reached a consensus.

Xu Jia Lu wouldn't intervene until Zhao Yu lost. Only when Zhao Yu was defeated could she act, stopping the Han family's troops.

For Xu Jia Lu, this deal was profitable. As the foremost family in Black Rock City, a single command from her at that time would be enough to make the mercenary groups retreat.

As for the Han family, their strength would be greatly diminished after fighting Zhao Yu, making them easy to manipulate.

She even harbored some thoughts; if the Han family became too weak, she might give up part of their share and support one of the mercenary groups instead.

This way, she could save money and gain the loyalty of some mercenary groups.

“Hmph, I'm not above using schemes, I'm just not used to them…” Xu Jia Lu felt proud, considering herself cunning smart.

She thought of a perfect plan effortlessly, unlike Chu Yue Yue who painstakingly plotted and still wasn't guaranteed success, even having to seek her help.

After a day, Black Rock City's army quickly exceeded ten thousand.

Three thousand were regular troops from the Han family, with the remaining up to eight thousand being mercenaries and various combat teams.

This time, the Han family had put all their resources on the line, offering substantial rewards and equipment.

Of course, the Han family was not acting rashly; With a victorious, they could claim the lion's share of the benefits from Zhao Family Fort and Peace Town.

This was the rule of the wilderness: the more one contributed, the greater the potential gains, assuming victory.

Standing at the gate of Black Rock City, the Han family patriarch was full of vigor. Looking back at the thousands of warriors behind him, he waved his hand and commanded:

“Let's go!”
