Chapter 966 An Lan Pursues and Kills the General
This incompetent military general, after seeing the weapons and numbers of the refugees ahead...
He immediately turned his horse around, shouted to the crowd, and headed back.
The soldiers were not so lucky. Under the barrage of arrows, their numbers dwindled to about a thousand in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
At this moment, all the archers carried their composite bows on their backs, replaced them with longswords, and charged down alongside the refugees in front of them.
The outcome was predictable: a thousand soldiers were no match for a number of refugees. Cries and pleas for mercy echoed throughout the valley.
With a repeating crossbow slung over his back, Anlan saw the fleeing general and immediately pulled over a horse he had seized from the bandits and gave chase.
Seeing this, Chang Shou thought to himself, "Why is this girl so impulsive?" So he rode his horse and chased after her.
In Chang Shou's subconscious, this was the young master's woman, and even if she was only used for occasional release, nothing could be done to her.
The general's horse was swift, and in no time it broke out of the encirclement.
Then they headed straight for Lingyang City.
Even a fool could see that this time they were caught off guard and surrounded, and they underestimated their enemy.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn; if we don't run now, when will we ever run?
However, not long after he broke through the encirclement, a sudden whooshing sound came, and before he could dodge, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back and fell headfirst off his horse.
"Damn it, there's an ambush."
He forced himself to stand up despite the excruciating pain and headed straight for the mountainside.
Just as he had taken cover, he heard the sound of approaching hooves.
What came into view was a girl dressed in a way that sparked the imagination, holding a strange crossbow in her hand, walking straight toward him.
"Girl, I was just following orders, please spare my life!"
Upon seeing An Lan arrive, the general immediately knelt down and begged for mercy repeatedly, while his hand secretly moved behind his back and gripped the hilt of his sword.
Anlan could not possibly miss his subtle movements. Without uttering a single word, she directly pinned his right hand to the mountainside with an arrow.
"Miss, miss, I'm just a lowly soldier, this has nothing to do with me."
"It's all, it's all the city lord's fault! He embezzled your money and wanted to eliminate you to cover his tracks!"
Just after he finished speaking, Changshou arrived at the same place.
"Hehe, hello Lord City Lord. It seems we've been kept in the dark all along."
"So, those bandits..."
"That's right, it was also arranged by the city lord!"
Just after he finished speaking, Anlan shot an arrow straight into his forehead.
In fact, she understood that the city lord's embezzlement was the reason why her entire family was wiped out.
But she never expected that those bandits were all arranged by them. So, at this moment, she had only one goal in mind: to storm into Lingyang City and take revenge.
Throughout the entire process, Anlan did not utter a single word. After killing the general, she mounted her horse and headed directly towards the refugee camp.
Seeing this, Chang Shou shook his head, thinking to himself that this woman had changed too much. He hoped that the young master would keep her by his side in the future, otherwise, after taking Lingyang, she might become his strongest opponent.
Three thousand soldiers came in full force, but were wiped out by the refugee army in less than an hour.
Chu Chen looked at the scene before him without any emotion, as if everything was so calm.
At that moment, he seemed to have realized something, so he turned around and went back into the carriage.
I've witnessed far too many struggles between people over the years, judging from today's battle.
These refugees have become a fully-fledged fighting army.
Changshou also became a qualified commander.
In them, Chu Chen saw their resistance against tyranny; in essence, it was a struggle between two social classes.
They leveraged their existing resources and are now thriving. From nothing to something, this is a process of hard work.
For example, An Lan transformed from a weak woman into a general capable of killing single-handedly.
Within this story lies hatred, forbearance, hard work, and talent.
This is a microcosm of countless living beings.
Along the way, Chu Chen also gained a lot, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of mental state.
To manage a realm well, one must thoroughly understand the beings at the lowest level of that realm in order to be a good realm lord.
It seems it's time for me to leave; staying here isn't very beneficial.
He didn't want to see Chang Shou and his group, after gaining control of Lingyang, start a new round of exploitation and oppression of the people, rising from the bottom to the powerful.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen stepped out of the carriage and went directly to the area beneath the canopy where Roland and Anlan were.
"Very good. To be able to pursue and win single-handedly, you have fully grown into a qualified soldier. What are your plans for the future?"
Seeing that An Lan looked tired, Chu Chen asked.
After listening, An Lan looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression: "Young Master, all of this is thanks to you and Sister Roland. In the future, wherever you are, An Lan will be there to serve you!"
Chu Chen shook his head after listening: "Hehe, you go first. Remember, a person's life is determined by themselves."
"The things you want to do are the most worthwhile things for you!"
After saying that, Chu Chen called An Lan back to her tent, while he and Roland entered the carriage.
"Chu Chen, are you leaving them?"
"Roland understands me best!"
"Hmph, I know what you're up to the moment you stick your butt out!"
"Haha, do you know what I'm going to do next?"
"asshole.........."
Half an hour later, the carriage returned to its previous tranquility.
At this moment, Chu Chen and Roland had already entered Chu Chen's space.
"Chu Chen, is this your own world?"
Roland looked at everything before him and asked in shock.
"That's right, you should be able to understand, so I won't hide it from you, I am ultimately just a person of this world."
"But why does this world look so desolate!"
Chu Chen couldn't answer Roland's question, nor did he want to.
So he changed the subject and said, "Next, I'd like to ask you to do something for me."
"You said that whatever is your business is my business."
After listening, Chu Chen pulled her to a pile of amethyst crystals: "I want you to go back and do an experiment, which is to use these things to modify androids for me!"
"Creative humans?"
“That’s right. I have a very powerful opponent who is omnipotent. Therefore, I need even greater strength, individual strength.”
