Chapter 928: Great Purge (1)

Wu Tie sat in Xia Rumeng's study, holding a brush, teasing the ink monkey, teasing the little kitten.

He dropped the brush, looking at Xia Rumeng kneeling motionless in the center of the study, and Wu Tie smiled.

The Barbarian God Clan, are they all born warriors?

Clearly, that's just something to hear; there is indeed a born warrior who had his iron will worn away by the Sui Dynasty's wealth and splendor, miles of red dust, turning completely into Princess Xinghe's prince consort.

However, after hearing Miwu and Huanwu's introductions, Wu Tie somewhat rebelliously pondered that if he were born in the Barbarian God Clan, he might perhaps do something even more rebellious than Xia Rumeng.

"In other words, you don't even have a name." Wu Tie looked at Xia Rumeng.

"Yes, we lowly-blooded people have no need for a name." Xia Rumeng gave a bitter smile: "In the lord's territory, we are numbered by our occupation…… after being conscripted into the army, we are numbered according to the god-general's surname and the regiment's organization."

In Xia Rumeng's smile lay accumulated heaviness and bitterness, to the point that his voice turned harsh and unpleasant.

"Anyway, they're all consumables…… just like arrows, food, and war beasts, all consumables." Xia Rumeng said dryly: "Consumables, what need is there for a name?"

Wu Tie blinked his eyes, sizing up Xia Rumeng from head to toe.

"Well, in our human history there is a famous saying…… 'Do nobles and officers have a special kind?' You, why don't you try to take out your superiors?" Wu Tie's tone became fleeting, his expression dangerous.

"Of course someone has thought of it, even tried…… but how could it be possible?" Xia Rumeng gave a bitter smile: "Bloodline, ah, the god-king's bloodline is definitely stronger than the god-general's; the god-general's bloodline is definitely stronger than the upper-rank soldiers'; the upper-rank soldiers' bloodline is definitely stronger than our low-rank foot soldiers……"

"Bloodline decides everything; no one can break the bloodline shackles, so no one can…… can……" Xia Rumeng stared blankly at Wu Tie: "So humanity is truly a wondrous race; even a low-born person has the chance to continually grow stronger through their own effort……"

"Humanity…… humanity……" Xia Rumeng's body trembled slightly; he knocked his head heavily on the ground, pleading to Wu Tie: "They are coming to reap…… Your Majesty, please keep my wife, children, and elders safe; I…… will sacrifice my body and bones in return."

Wu Tie looked at Xia Rumeng and slowly nodded: "Sacrifice life and limb? I don't need you to sacrifice life and limb; as long as you serve me diligently and sincerely…… your wife, children, elders, your livelihood and life, I will guarantee."

"Not only that, I also want you to live better."

Wu Tie stood up, casually stuffing the little kitten that was crying "woah woah" on the desk into his sleeve.

Hmm, Pei Feng will surely like this little guy.

As for that ink monkey, pitch-black monkey head, looking sly as can be, I suppose Pei Feng wouldn't like it.

After a light cough, Wu Tie pointed at Xia Rumeng: "Thus, I appoint you as the supreme leader of the Divine Martial Army; follow by my side and attend to my commands."

"Divine Martial Army, Divine Martial Army, as the name suggests, an army formed from the divine spirits of Wuguo."

"Therefore, in the Divine Martial Army there will be no ordinary soldiers, no lower-rank troops; they will all be made of Giant God Soldiers. All officers and commanders will be filled by reincarnated divine spirits like you."

Wu Tie's tone turned serious and solemn: "Find every reincarnated divine spirit you can find. Whether they are willing or not, no matter what noble or vile means you use, in short, I want all reincarnated divine spirits within Wuguo's borders to join the Divine Martial Army."

Wu Tie looked toward the several Wisdom God Clan spirits standing beside him.

After a moment's thought, Wu Tie pointed at Huanwu and Lan Ying: "Don't say I'm not giving you a chance; I give you a chance to fairly compete with Miwu. In the Divine Martial Army, you will be the left and right military advisors, assisting Supreme Leader Xia Rumeng in his duties."

"I know, you Wisdom God Clan aren't toys; you only do dirty tricks of deceit and fraud."

"However, I only look at results, not the process."

"No matter how many dirty tricks you have, just use them; I only want to see the Divine Martial Army become the Divine Martial Army I have in mind……"

Wu Tie laughed, patting Xia Rumeng's hand, then firmly patting Huanwu and Lan Ying's shoulders, and strode out of the study.

Just reaching the doorway, Wu Tie saw a beautifully dressed woman, face full of tears, standing at the end of the corridor, while several Wu family warriors snorted and glared, not allowing her to approach even half a step.

The woman could only tiptoe with difficulty, trying to peer over the shoulders of the Wu tribe warriors to see what was happening in the study.

However, those Wu tribe warriors were each tall and sturdy, like a wall blocking her way; even on tiptoe she still couldn't see what was happening on this side of the study.

"Princess Xinghe!" Wu Tie nodded.

Since Pei Feng had given this couple an extra favor, it shows they are decent people in daily life.

Especially, Xia Rumeng is a reincarnated divine spirit of the Barbarian God Clan, yet he managed to earn a good reputation in Sui Du.

Clearly, this couple truly are good people in their everyday conduct.

Turning back, Wu Tie smiled at the study: "Noted, Xia Rumeng will no longer be the former Sui prince consort, but a First-Rank Duke of my Wuguo…… well, that is the Pacify Barbarian Duke. Duke Xia, do well; I have said I will protect your livelihood and life, your wife and children, and certainly let you live better than before."

Previously Xia Rumeng was indeed a prince consort; although honorable, bluntly speaking it's just the emperor's son-in-law who marries into the family.

But a proper First-Rank Duke is quite different.

Especially when holding real power, commanding an army as a First-Rank Duke, the prestige and status are who knows how much greater than a prince consort!

Xia Rumeng said nothing, merely kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times heavily to Wu Tie.

From today onward, Xia Rumeng is considered to have sold himself—body, flesh, blood, and soul—entirely to Wu Tie.

"Do emperors and nobles have a special kind?"…… Wu Tie's offhand remark just now truly moved Xia Rumeng's heart, leaving an indelible mark.

Xia Rumeng suddenly, a flash passed through his mind of everything he had experienced since he gained awareness in his previous life.

In his previous life, it seemed he had never been happy.

In this life, however, he seems to have been continually happy.

"I want to keep being happy……" Xia Rumeng stood up, smiling at Miwu and the others still in the study: "I want to keep being happy……"

Miwu, Huanwu, Lan Ying and the others looked at Xia Rumeng, then laughed together: "Congratulations, Duke Xia, you will surely be able to keep being happy!"

I don't know why, but seeing Xia Rumeng at this moment, who has betrayed the Barbarian God Clan, this bunch of wicked embryos from the Wisdom God Clan just feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
