Chapter 154

~5 min read 960 words

But Lu Cang was far more insane than they had imagined.

Even the participating lords.

Stunned upon seeing Lu Cang's reply.

What he had just asked.

Was actually meant to ask: Did Lu Cang intend to go with them to rescue that new cursed one?

In fact, after Lu Cang caused all this.

Their rescue team had already planned to invite Lu Cang to join the rescue effort.

As for the true meaning of the rescue, these participants were also hesitating whether to tell Lu Cang.

Electus had actually foreseen his own demise.

More accurately, Electus essentially sacrificed himself to send these cursed ones into the Lord World.

Otherwise, with Electus's means, staying alive would not have been difficult.

And this last batch of cursed ones sent into the 【Lord World】.

All possessed special traits different from previous generations.

They were the most special generation.

Therefore, the members of the Zuzhou Society, even at great risk, had to attempt to rescue Bodo.

This was both to follow Electus's last wish and, at the same time, for themselves.

Moreover, the reason for rescuing Bodo was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Besides Bodo being from the special generation, there were also the Zuzhou Society's own secrets, and another special factor.

Counting both surface and underlying reasons, there were a total of four factors involved here.

And Lu Cang had demonstrated powerful combat ability; if Lu Cang joined this operation, the mission would undoubtedly proceed much more smoothly.

But the result...

He himself had not expected it.

That Lu Cang would give such an answer.

In that instant, it truly left him at a loss.

"Brother Lu Cang, you're not joking, are you?"

"Do you really want to attack Baier City?"

"Brother Lu Cang, you have just arrived in the Lord World and may not fully understand this world."

"You surely don't not know what Baier City represents, do you? You must be joking, right?"

"Brother, your words have made me feel a faint surge of excitement. Are you serious?"

Lu Cang faced these questions.

And replied calmly.

"I did not speak wrongly, nor am I joking."

"I indeed intend to attack Baier City."

"When is the execution time?"

Facing Lu Cang's question, the member of the Zuzhou Society did not hesitate.

"The execution time is at noon, twelve o'clock, the day after tomorrow."

"They chose this time because it is when the sun is at its strongest."

"Some of our cursed ones' abilities are relatively dark and require night to reach their peak effect."

"Choosing this time means most of us cannot exert our full strength."

"Especially... the Blood Moon Wolf Lord; his strength will be most severely weakened."

"Without the moon, his troops will find it difficult to transform into bloodthirsty werewolves."

Lu Cang looked at this reply.

And thought briefly in his heart.

So, the strength of cursed ones is also subject to time restrictions.

Indeed, cursed ones themselves are all classified as having dark and evil abilities.

This is not surprising.

However, I myself have not been subject to any restrictions.

Whether day or night, I can exert my full combat strength.

"Hmm, I understand."

After Lu Cang replied with this sentence, he closed the chat window and vanished.

Lu Cang shifted his consciousness.

And projected it to the Eastern Central Zone.

The lords he had previously sent back had already quickly resumed normal life.

They were all engaged in post-war reconstruction.

This battle had left them severely weakened.

Gao Jie troops often cannot be produced in just one or two days.

The units Lu Cang killed today.

Might represent several years of accumulation for these lords.

Some lords might reach no higher than the eighth tier in their entire lives.

An eighth-tier lord is the limit for ordinary lords.

Above that, Tier Nine and Tier Ten are levels ordinary Lords cannot reach.

Otherwise, their numbers would not be so scarce.

Lu Cang searched among the Lords one by one for the target he sought.

Soon, Lu Cang discovered a Lord who was not within his own territory.

Instead, he had come to the neutral city—【Bayer City】.

"Hmm, just as I wished."

Lu Cang placed these Parasitic Eyes upon these Lords.

As these Lords moved,

the Parasitic Eyes could also reach various different places.

Far beyond simply being parasitic within the other's territory.

Had those Lords been killed back then,

Lu Cang would now be confined to the Far East, unable to venture out at all.

The world of the Lords is too vast.

Without special means of movement, crossing regions is difficult.

And Lu Cang currently possesses no teleportation arrays for other regions.

Without the Parasitic Eyes, there is simply no way to go beyond the Far East.

As a neutral city for the Lords, many Lords come to Bayer City.

Here, they conduct trades.

In many cases, when a resource is lacking but mining it oneself is extremely troublesome,

the Lords choose to exchange their surplus resources for gold coins.

They use the gold coins within the city to trade with other Lords.

In this world, remote trading functions do not exist.

All material transactions are face-to-face.

Or, they entrust their troops to help transport the goods for them.

"Timber, freshly cut camphor wood! Ten thousand units of camphor wood sold at a loss! One hundred gold coins for the whole lot!"

"Buying Light-Chasing Stones! Five thousand gold coins for one unit of Light-Chasing Stone!"

"Does anyone want rare soil? One hundred to three hundred gold coins! Selling all kinds of rare soil!"

On the streets, various Lords personally hawked their wares.

Or, they entrusted their troops to watch over their stalls for them.

This is the most bustling street in Bayer City.
