“Ah!” A scream echoed through the camp.
Meng Bai and the others rushed to the door of Zhou Shu’s room with nervous expressions. Then they saw the door open with a bang.
Then a figure flashed past them at incredible speed and disappeared.
“Was that… Her Highness?” Meng Bai said in confusion.
He looked back into the room and saw Lu Wenshuang walking out slowly.
!!
Her face was calm. As she walked, she gathered the loose hair on her forehead.
On her way out the door, she tripped and stumbled.
Everyone froze at the sight.
“What happened?” Meng Bai couldn’t help asking.
“Nothing.” Lu Wenshuang could no longer maintain her posure and quickly left.
Everyone looked at each other.
“Is it Great General Meng?” Zhou Shu’s voice came from the room.
“His Highness is awake?” Meng Bai and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Unknowingly, Zhou Shu had bee the backbone of Great Xia. When he was seriously injured and unconscious, even Meng Bai felt a little lost.
Now that he was awake, Meng Bai felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
“It’s me. e in,” Zhou Shu greeted.
Meng Bai and the others walked into the room and saw Zhou Shu sitting on the bed. A shirt was draped over his knees, and there were spots of blood on it.
Meng Bai’s heart sank. Zhou Shu was indeed injured.
Meng Bai walked into Zhou Shu and couldn’t help asking, “Are your injuries alright, King of the South?”
“Injuries?” Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. Seeing the blood on his clothes, he calmly removed the clothes and said, “I’m okay.”
This blood was from a nosebleed…
His injuries had healed long ago.
“Are you really okay?” Meng Bai asked in concern. “King of the South, why don’t you tell us the truth so that we can be mentally prepared?”
Zhou Shu was now the backbone of the camp. His injuries were related to the camp’s strategic plan.
Such a thing could be hidden from ordinary soldiers, but Meng Bai, the general, had to know in order to plan ahead.
“I’m really fine,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.
“But you were clearly unconscious before…” Meng Bai said in confusion.
Zhou Shu laughed. He didn’t know how to explain it to Meng Bai.
He had indeed been slightly injured in the battle with Yao Lian.
But his injuries were not serious.
Moreover, he was not unconscious because of his injuries. After his divine ability Total Annihilation wore off, he had fallen into a weakened state. In addition, during the battle, his divine sense had been exhausted, so he felt a little tired.
As a result, he fell asleep…
It was because he had consumed too much of his divine sense that he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he found himself back inside the camp. Then he saw the glorious scene.
Thinking about it now, Zhou Shu felt his face heat up…
He wondered now if he had woken up at the right time.
If he had woken up earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to see the beautiful scene.
If he had woken up a little later, would something good have happened?
I should have pretended to be unconscious. Zhou Shu sighed.
“Your Highness, is that great demon Yao Lian too difficult to deal with?” Meng Bai asked nervously.
He had never seen the great demon Yao Lian before, but from the traces on the battlefield that day, he could tell some things.
Everything within a five-kilometer radius had been razed to the ground. Even a first-rank martial artist couldn’t do this.
Apart from Zhou Shu, no one else in Great Xia could withstand a few moves from Yao Lian.
If Yao Lian led the army to make a eback, the camp would be in danger.
“Yao Lian? Difficult to deal with?” Zhou Shu returned to his senses and stored the beautiful scene he saw earlier in his mind. “He’s just so-so.”
Zhou Shu smiled. “He escaped this time. Next time, it won’t be so easy for him to escape.”
Meng Bai and the others looked at each other in disbelief.
Although Zhou Shu said that he was fine, everyone had seen with their own eyes that they had carried Zhou Shu back when he was seriously injured and unconscious on the battlefield!
Everyone thought that Zhou Shu was saying this because he didn’t want to lose face.
If Yao Lian’s cultivation was really just so-so, why would Zhou Shu, who had never tasted defeat since his debut, be seriously injured and unconscious?
The thought weighed heavily on their hearts.
“Great General, are all your men here?” Zhou Shu smiled. “What do you think of my camp?”
“This camp is really unexpected.”
Meng Bai posed himself and said, “With this camp, I don’t think it will be a problem for us to be in a stalemate with the Demon Realm army for months.”
“Why will we be in a stalemate?” Zhou Shu was puzzled. “We should contact the armies of the various nations and launch a large-scale counterattack to kill the Demon Realm army.
“Didn’t we always do this in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?”
“It used to be.” Meng Bai smiled bitterly. The armies that came from the Demon Realm during the previous Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournaments were not so powerful.
According to his previous experience, it wasn’t too difficult for the armies of the Ten Nations participating in the tournament to kill off the Demon Realm army that came.
But this time, the strength of the Demon Realm’s army far exceeded that of the Ten Nations’ armies.
Now, it was not a matter of whether the Ten Nations’ armies wanted to kill the Demon Realm army but how to not be killed by the Demon Realm Army.
“Your Highness, you might not know this yet, but we’ve just received news that apart from Great Liang, Great Chen and Great Wei have also been wiped out.”
