Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 144 I will never show mercy when it comes to using violence to suppress violence!

"There may be spies in the military camp!"

"Investigate!" The King of Hu's anger flared. Who on earth had been sent from the capital to disregard him? "Investigate thoroughly! Investigate rigorously!"

"The generals who came this time include Gao Zhan, Gao Kuang, Chao Huaiyuan, and someone named Bai Yu. I don't recognize him, but I heard he used to be the Imperial City Envoy... As for the commander, he's a woman..." Zhu Yong told the King of Hu the information he had gathered.

"A woman? A white violet?" The King of the Swans' pupils suddenly dilated, and the fear of being dominated resurfaced in his heart.

After being beaten by the Duke of Dingguo, he was beaten again by Bai Jin when he returned to the Prince's residence. All the guards in the courtyard could not stop her. He knew how terrifying that woman's strength was.

"Uh, no, her surname is Lu, she's a woman with the surname Lu..."

"Phew, at least it's not Bai Jin..." King Hu first breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately became agitated again: "What? Am I not even worthy of them sending someone capable? Are they underestimating me?" They actually sent some unknown woman surnamed Lu. "Is she capable? How is her martial arts?"

"Uh, I don't know." Zhu Yong had already sent people to find out.

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say that Gao Yi's two little kids are here? And Chao Ying's only son too?" Hu Wang suddenly realized, "That sounded so familiar. Aren't they all our own people?"

"Hahahaha, no wonder they sent some Lu something? Whatever, it's just a woman surnamed Lu. Turns out it's her own team coming to welcome me. Hahahahaha!" King Hu laughed loudly. When Nie Zhiyuan came, he said that he was in the name of the Crown Prince, and together with Grand Tutor Gao and Prime Minister Chao, they were welcoming King Hu back to the capital and removing the Princess, this wicked woman who brought disaster to the country, to restore order to the court.

However, the Prince of Hu could only stay in his fiefdom and could not return to the capital without being summoned. Li Cen could not possibly summon him, so he attacked directly.

However, Zhu Yong believed the situation was not so optimistic, and not as easy as the Prince of Hu thought: "Your Highness still needs to be wary. Gao Yi and Chao Ying may well be wary of you. In addition, now that the Crown Prince has passed away, only the Third Prince remains. I'm afraid the Gao family will withdraw from the power struggle." Zhu Yong's consideration was not without reason. With Li Yun succeeding to the throne, the Chao family probably wouldn't tolerate the Gao family's power, and it was inevitable that they would weaken them.

"So, we need to be careful of the two Gao brothers?" King Hu rolled his eyes. He would still listen to Zhu Yong; he acknowledged that this man was smarter than him. "Could we consider secretly meeting with that kid from the Chao family?"

"Yes, that is also my intention. I have already written a letter and asked someone to find a way to send it to General Chao."

"Hmm, very good," he thought, as expected, having Zhu Yonghu Wang made things much easier. He lay back on the couch with satisfaction: "Hey, by the way, is that Miss Lu pretty?" He resumed his lecherous expression.

Zhu Yong clearly disliked the Prince of Hu for this point and didn't bother to answer him: "Your Highness, it takes seven days to travel from the capital to Yancheng, but only four days from Yucheng to Yancheng. I've heard that the troop sent from the capital has already set off three days ago, and I'm afraid the two sides will run into each other." He went straight to the useful information.

"So what if we bump into each other? It's not like we'll actually fight." King Hu didn't take Lu He seriously at all, nor did he think the Chao and Gao families would attack him. As for that guy named Bai Yu, he might just be cannon fodder. Even if his martial arts were high, how could 700,000 troops not kill him?

"My suggestion is that since the soldiers have already rested for half a day, they don't need to rest for another day. Let's muster our troops and set off immediately."

"So hastily?" King Hu reluctantly put on his shoes and got out of bed, beginning to don his armor: "Men! Pass down the order: march on Yancheng in one hour!"

At this moment, on a small road twenty miles away from the military camp, Nie Zhiyuan was tied to a tree. The man in black standing in front of him was the sentry, and also the same Black Bird that Lu He had taken to Hanshui Temple before.

The reason why this black bird arrived in Yucheng so quickly is because of the off-road vehicle that Lu He had hidden in the cave.

Blackbird showed Nie Zhiyuan one by one those ugly photos of Minister Nie looking disheveled.

"Ah! What is this? Why is Father on this paper?" Nie Zhiyuan stared at the clear photograph, utterly terrified. What kind of sorcery was this? Had Father been imprisoned in the painting?

“Nie Sheng is in jail…” Blackbird was speechless: “He’s currently in a prison in the capital…”

"What have you done to my father?"

“…If you want to save him, tell me your plan. Besides the King of the Swan, who else have you contacted? Who else are your associates?” Blackbird said, taking out silver needles from his pocket. “If you don’t tell me, the sentries have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead.” Blackbird didn’t really think Lu He was using Nie Sheng’s situation to threaten Nie Zhiyuan; torture would be more effective.

Upon hearing that it was a sentry, Nie Zhiyuan immediately became terrified and confessed everything. The torture inflicted by the sentries was even worse than that in the Imperial City Guard; who would dare to resist?

After four days of marching, King Hu finally arrived at the gates of Yancheng. The gates were tightly shut and unguarded. There wasn't even a soldier standing guard on the gate tower. There were also many nets hanging on the city walls, the purpose of which was unknown. Were they meant to facilitate their climbing? Was Yancheng about to surrender?

The swan king looked up at the bright sunshine and the dense flocks of birds in the sky, feeling that everything was so peaceful it was almost unreal.

"The army of the King of the Swan has arrived..." The scouts in the city held remote controls, watching the returning scene, with the 700,000-strong army deployed in full view.

That's right, the dark flock of birds in the sky that day was a drone. For those three days, Lu He was training them to use these modern technologies.

One hundred drones flew over the entire city of Yan, and nothing could escape the eyes of the heavens. Moreover, many reconnaissance soldiers had been specially trained in case someone was injured by an arrow and unable to operate the drones, so that the next operator could take over.

"Since they're here, let's give them a resounding showdown!" Lu He said.

"Uh, General Lu, what do you mean?" They couldn't understand the big fu.

"Attack! Beat the bastards!" Lu He rolled up his sleeves and cursed.

"Yes, General!" Gao Zhan, Chao Huaiyuan, Bai Yu, and Gao Kuang (who had long been convinced of Lu He's abilities and admired him wholeheartedly in the past few days) were all excited.

The King's shield guards erected a shield wall in front of them, and the army advanced towards the city wall.

Just then, the city gates opened, and countless small balls were thrown out, quickly spreading out a sea of ​​clouds outside the city.

"Hmph, a mere trick! Charge over there and smash them to death!" King Hu sneered. What use was such a clumsy method as smoke? How dare they open the city gates? They were truly ignorant of their own limitations.

"Let them taste the Iron Mountain of the Shield Guards..."

With a deafening "Bang!", the first rank of shield guards was smashed to pieces by the oncoming array of armored off-road vehicles. Their shields were as fragile as paper in front of these vehicles.

"Hmph, do you think my hundred armored off-road vehicles are just for show? No matter how tough you are, you can't beat my car!" Lu He was in the city, watching the live stream from the drone, and he smiled broadly.

At her most triumphant moment, the system couldn't help but complain: "It's all thanks to me enabling network coverage for you!"

Yes, there was no way to solve such a large project, so Lu He simply didn't exchange for any signal towers. Instead, he directly threatened the system to use his authority to extend the system's network coverage to this world.

Although the system was trembling with fear, it still agreed. Fortunately, she only needed it for a short while, so it shouldn't be easy for her to get caught.

The King of the Swan was terrified, and his army was thrown into chaos. But Lu He gave him no chance to catch his breath. Suddenly, a large number of yellow steel monsters appeared on both sides and began to attack his army. The monsters were enormous, with tall and long steel arms, and were extremely ferocious.

Yes, this thing is an excavator. It can be used not only for fighting but also for siege warfare. Lu He and his men actually arrived three days earlier than the King of the Hu's army (they came by car... and with large military trucks). They had already laid an ambush inside and outside the city, just waiting for his 700,000-strong army to come and deliver them to the enemy.

The archer's arrows were completely useless; they were like tickling an itch, unable to penetrate even a fraction of an inch, whether it was an off-road vehicle or an excavator.

The eagle-claw soldiers tried to sneak over the city wall, hoping to capture the leader first, but unfortunately, the nets on the wall were all high-voltage electric fences. Each hook thrown at them was instantly electrocuted, becoming the brightest sparks in mid-air. (Of course, this powerful electricity was directly supplied by the system.)

"The entire Shield Guard has been wiped out!"

"The Eagle Claw Army was wiped out!"

"The entire Vanguard Cavalry Battalion has been wiped out!"

"Retreat! Retreat!" Without waiting to report to the King, Morgan immediately ordered a full retreat! If they didn't retreat now, they would be finished!

This is a battle I've never fought before! It's outrageous! What on earth is that?! Morgan's mind is screaming and twisting inside. What kind of opponent is this?! It's so subversive! Unheard of and unseen before! He's really about to shatter.

Gao Kuang lowered the passenger window of the SUV, leaned out, and drew his bow, shooting an arrow in the direction of the King of the Swan.

Morgan blocked the attack with his spear: "Your Highness, be careful! Retreat immediately!"

"Retreat back to Yucheng!"

The army retreated in a panic, scrambling and stumbling, eventually withdrawing into Yucheng with less than 400,000 troops.

"Stop chasing! Tomorrow, after we regroup, we'll attack Yucheng!" Lu Heming ordered a retreat.
