Upon closely observing the faces of the shield and axe soldiers, he recognized none of them.

They were clearly not soldiers from Sona City.

He didn't even know the young man in bronze armor, confirming that his servant hadn't lied.

Enemies had truly attacked.

But the question was, how did these enemies end up in his residence? An attack at midnight? What a joke.

Even if it were a midnight siege, he couldn't have heard nothing.

Not to mention, there were two small teams on the city wall responsible for keeping watch.

Those soldiers weren't fools.

If the enemy were attacking, someone would have come to inform him.

So they must have infiltrated.

His mind was a jumble of thoughts, but there was no time to ponder.

The situation was clearly dire and Lu was already considering how to break out.

As for other matters, he would deal with them after escaping.

With that thought, a fierce glint flashed in Luhus's eyes, and he suddenly swung the Wolftoothoth Club at the standing Lu G.

Seeing Luhu suddenly launch an attack, Zhao E, who was by Lu Gi's side, changed color in an instant.

He instinctively raised his shield and stepped forward, seemingly trying to block the lethal strike for Lu G.

However, Zhao clearly overestimated himself and underestimated Luhou.

Though the weapon in Luhus hand appeared to be an exceptionally heavy Wolftoothoth club, Luhus strength was evidently formidable.

This strike was quick and fierce, and Zhao Yi's reaction speed couldn't possibly keep up.

As the Wolftoothoth Club was about to smash into Luog, Zho Yi's mind went blank, and he was momentarily at a loss.

However, the moment he glanced at Lu Gi, his expression froze.

What was this man doing at that moment? LuG neither dodged nor evaded, appearing completely calm and unconcerned, ignoring the approaching Wolftoothoth Club.

Zhao.

He almost doubted whether he had been scared silly.

Yet, in the next moment, he heard a loud bang.

Before he could react, Luhus's wolftooth club clashed against a bronze shield.

In that split second, Luh's expression changed.

His opponent wasn't just blocking his attack, but using the bronze shield as a weapon, forcefully slamming it against his wolftoothoth club.

The explosive force unleashed was terrifying.

Luhus hands holding the club instantly lost sensation accompanied by the sound of bones cracking his wrists twisted awkwardly and the wolftooth club was knocked flying.

No, this can't be.

Lu roared internally.

His full strength strike had been mercilessly repelled by the bronze shield.

The disparity in strength was utterly desparing.

How could a human possess such power? Roong, kill him.

Understood.

Lu Gi's voice remained calm as if everything were perfectly natural.

Then hearing the command, Ro Yong stepped forward, and the overwhelming pressure made Luhu feel as if this man wearing a strange mask was like an ancient beast in human skin, continuously squeezing his space for survival.

In the blink of an eye, from the moment his wolftoothoth club was knocked away to now, barely a blink had passed.

The exaggerated and fierce double-bladed battle axe had already been raised, radiating a chilling aura of death under the night sky.

And then it came crashing down with a force of thunder.

There was no room for any resistance.

With just one strike, the world in front of Lu who split in two and blood and inrol splattered, turning Ro Yong into a blood soaked figure.

At this moment, not just the newcomer Zhao E.

Even the surrounding shield and axe soldiers were rendered speechless upon seeing Lu who cleave in half by a single ax.

Each of them looked at their general with a mix of awe and fear.

Chapter 266.

Reward the terrifying axe after directly killing Lu who made Luo Yong glance at Zhao E who was still holding a shield.

His doubts were clearly reduced by seven or eight points.

At that moment, it was obvious to Luo Yong as a marshall general whether Zhao he genuinely wanted to help Luo Gi block the attack or was just putting on an act.

Although he didn't say anything, he had unconsciously acknowledged Zhao Yi's presence.

However, Lu Yong<unk>s blood soaked appearance was indeed frightening.

coupled with the fact that he had just split Luhoo in half with one swing.

Zhao he felt a shiver of fear despite Luo Yong's gaze not carrying any killing intent.

He quickly withdrew his actions and awkwardly cupped his fists towards Luo Yong.

Thinking to himself that it seemed he had humiliated himself.

After all, the facts were right in front of him.

And Lu Gi clearly knew he was safe and sound.

So he remained calm throughout.

So calm that his facial expression hardly changed.

As of sensing Zhao Yi<unk>s thoughts, Lu Gi took two steps forward and casually patted his shoulder, saying, "Congratulations, you have saved your own life and theirs.

" The Lu Gi referred to were the soldiersha E selected.

Those he knew had not committed heinous acts of pillaging and were not devoid of conscience.

As for those who were not chosen, they were naturally a bunch of beasts, and their deaths would not be regretted.

From today on, you're my person.

This time, taking Sona City was your credit.

speak.

What reward do you want? With these words, Luog officially accepted Zhao E and the other surrender, and the systems prompt followed.

The reason he had not accepted earlier was that either killing one's own men or having soldiers defect would undermine the morale of the army.

To avoid this, before this moment, Zhao E and the others had merely been prisoners.

Lu Gi's simple sentence stirred an inexplicable excitement in Zhao Yi's heart.

It had been the same before when Lu Gi said, "No problem.

If he turns against us, I will break that city and kill him.

" This statement lingered in Zhao Yi's mind, not out of fear, but because of the natural dominance revealed in those words and actions that deeply captivated him.

That unique charisma was something he had never felt from Jeang Xiin or Zhao Dong Nan.

Seeing Zhao, he lost in thought.

Lu Gi took the opportunity to open Joe Yei's attribute panel, intending to take a look.

Based on his guess, Zhao he was at least a capable general.

However, the reality exceeded his imagination.

After reading Zhao Yi's panel, Lu Gi's heart surged with excitement.

Damn, had he struck gold? Although Zhao e currently only had an all-restar general panel, once he grew to his full potential, he would definitely become a divine general.

It was completely unimaginable that such top tier talent was serving as a small soldier in a border city.

This was undoubtedly a downside of the rapid population growth in civilization where became impossible to check each individual's attribute panel.

The thought that there might be similar talents in his own civilization that he had overlooked made Lu Gi feel a sudden sharp stomach pain and his mood shifted to a mix of joy and worry.
