With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

In the past in Java, let alone a hundred people.

Even if a thousand people were to die, I wouldn't even blink an eye.

If you want to blame someone, just blame their own bad luck. They are not as skilled as others and they deserve to die!

Damn, now that I think about it, I used to be such a hard-hearted guy!

But now, after staying in Shannan Prefecture for a long time, alas, things are really different!

Back then, I was a tough guy who could kick a person’s head like a ball without changing my expression or heart beating!

Now, when I think about the possibility that those more than one hundred brothers might have been fed to the fish, I feel so upset and unhappy!

He sighed heavily.

Five months, but not just five months!

Tu Rong shouted in his heart.

These five months have been more exciting than my life in the past twenty years!

I used to only know how to fight and kill, but I only know this now.

It turns out that life can be so interesting!

Tu Rong recalled working together, training together, and eating together with the new recruits.

In short, we did a lot of things together that we never dared to think about before!

I used to think that human life was worthless, but now I know that everyone is unique and the apple of their parents’ eyes!

This Shannan Prefecture is truly bizarre! They could actually transform me, a murderous demon, into this...

Uh, loving peacekeeper!

Tu Rong secretly glanced at Lu Yan and found that Lord Lu was looking at him with a look of satisfaction.

I became even more certain in my heart that all this was thanks to Lord Lu!

People-oriented! I had never heard of these four words before, but now they are like engraved in my mind and can't be shaken off!

In Shannan Prefecture, all types of soldiers are called guards.

And they also have a common name: soldiers!

"Don't worry, the families of our brothers who died in battle will definitely not be treated unfairly."

Lu Yan patted Tu Rong's shoulder.

"Go down and have a good rest first. I have prepared a sumptuous meal for you."

"Yes, Commander."

Tu Rong nodded and then led his men away.

Looking at their departing backs, Lu Yan felt a lot more relieved.

The Haixiaguan dam collapsed, although the damage caused to Java was limited.

But at least it can delay them for a while.

"Sir, it's not a big deal that the rain keeps falling."

Li Kui rubbed his hands and complained.

“I feel like I’m going moldy.”

Lu Yan glanced at him:

"If you're bored, go help in the kitchen. I heard we have your favorite braised pork tonight."

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

When Li Kui heard that there was braised pork, he immediately became excited and ran to the kitchen.

Looking at Li Kui's back, Lu Yan shook his head helplessly.

This guy has no other hobbies except eating and fighting.

The rain is still falling, dripping, with no end in sight.

Lu Yan stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At this time, Java Kingdom, Haixia Pass.

Jin Xuanming stood in front of the dam that was washed beyond recognition by the rain, his face terribly gloomy.

The breach in the dam was huge, swallowing up everything around it.

The muddy river water roared and rushed down, submerging the villages and fields downstream without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Jin Xuanming punched the stone next to him, but the stone didn't move at all. However, his hand felt a dull pain.

An ordinary rainstorm, no matter how heavy it is, would not cause such great damage.

"Go! Send people to search upstream along the river to see if there are any clues!"

Jin Xuanming gave orders to his men.

"We must find out whether this is man-made or not!"

At the same time, the action of mobilizing civilians to fill the gap began.

The Javanese soldiers were like a group of ferocious jackals.

They arrested people from house to house and drove them to the site of the dam collapse.

The people complained bitterly, but they could do nothing.

They were ragged, pale and thin, and trembled under the soldiers' whips.

"Damn Javanese dog! Die a horrible death!"

An old man cursed under his breath, but didn't dare say it out loud.

"Mom, I'm hungry..." A child pulled his mother's clothes and said weakly.

"Shh! Good boy, don't talk." The mother hugged the child tightly, her eyes full of despair.

In Shannan Prefecture, Lu Yan received news that Jin Xuanming had forcibly conscripted civilians to block the broken dam.

"Sir, this is a great opportunity!"

Li Kui rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Let's take advantage of their chaos and attack them. We will kill them without a single survivor!"

"Xiao Kui, be patient."

Lu Yan waved his hand.

"Jin Xuanming is eager to achieve success and will inevitably relax his control over the conscription of the people."

"And these oppressed people were also dissatisfied with the Javanese rule, which made it a good opportunity to instigate rebellion."

Lu Yan immediately summoned generals including Tu Rong, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, and Han Sheng to discuss countermeasures.

"My plan is to send people to infiltrate these people and incite them to rebel against Java. Then, we can cooperate with them and deal a heavy blow to the Javanese army."

"Let Night Owl take care of this task."

Lu Yan looked at Night Owl.

"You select a group of elite soldiers, disguise them as ordinary people, and follow the conscripted troops to the dam breach."

"Remember, your mission is not to fight the Javanese army directly, but to incite the people to rebel and create chaos."

Lu Yan instructed carefully.

After receiving the order, Ye Xiao immediately summoned the ten most capable Ye Bushu men under his command.

These night guards are all veterans who have experienced many battles and are proficient in skills such as camouflage, concealment, and reconnaissance.

Night Owl made detailed arrangements for them and asked them to disguise themselves as ordinary people.

Mix in with the conscripted team and head to the dam breach.

In order to better integrate into the people, Ye Xiao specially asked someone to prepare some worn-out clothes.

They also removed all the weapons and armor from the soldiers and replaced them with ordinary farm tools.

He also specifically instructed the soldiers to imitate the words and actions of the common people and never reveal their true colors.

After everything was ready, Night Owl brought the disguised soldiers.

Taking advantage of the night, he quietly mixed into the conscripted team.

The team moved forward along the rugged mountain road.

Along the way, they witnessed the atrocities committed by Javanese soldiers.

Javanese soldiers rode tall horses and wielded whips.

He beat the ragged people wantonly.

The people were all pale and thin, and walked with difficulty.

They trembled under the soldiers' whips, but dared not resist in the slightest.

Some frail elderly people and children could not keep up with the pace of the team.

He was kicked to the ground mercilessly by the soldiers.

Then they were whipped hard with a whip until they got up.

A young mother holding a hungry baby in her arms.

Because he accidentally fell to the ground, the baby's crying attracted the attention of the soldiers.

The soldier walked over, snatched the baby, lifted him up high, and then threw him hard to the ground.

The baby's crying stopped abruptly, and the young mother let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Then he pounced on the soldiers like a madman.

But he was kicked away by the soldier and fell to the ground, unconscious.
