Chapter 1360 Increase in Strength, Three Armies (2)
"Mu Zhixing can be considered your friend. He was forced to death by Zhan Jingtao. Don't you want to avenge him?" Lin Kelei said. "I've decided. I'll reduce your payment for the mercenaries by ten percent. Consider it my contribution. Damn Zhan Jingtao. Sooner or later, I'll settle this score with him!"
Zhou Shu had a strange expression. That wily and slippery old fox Mu Zhixing was so frightened by Zhan Jingtao that he self-destructed?
Lin Kelei, are you joking?
Zhou Shu knew Mu Zhixing very well. Moreover…
Mu Zhixing had obtained the Freedom Transformation Technique, which allowed him to transform into billions of incarnations. Unless all his incarnations died, the cultivator wouldn't die.
Needless to say, Mu Zhixing must have sent his incarnation to self-destruct.
But Zhou Shu wasn't prepared to tell Lin Kelei about this. After all, a 10% commission reduction wasn't a small sum.
Why would Zhou Shu reject Lin Kelei's generosity?
"Don't worry," Zhou Shu smiled. "Brother Lin, just watch carefully. As long as the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom dares to come, I will definitely make them bleed!"
Lin Kelei said, "I'll leave them to you. I have to hurry back to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. That bastard Zhan Jingtao might even dare to provoke my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom."
"Where should my men go?
Lin Kelei had used the grotto-heaven divine weapons that Zhou Shu had given him to bring the soldiers over. Now that he was leaving, he naturally wouldn't leave the grotto-heaven divine weapons behind.
Zhou Shu said, "Follow me. The place is ready."
…
Mi Ziwen, Meng Bai, Yang Hong, Xiao Jianghe, Sun Gongping, Wang Xin, and others all widened their eyes and stared at the army that suddenly appeared, startled.
Even though they had experienced so much, their breathing became heavy in an instant.
After experiencing countless battles, they immediately determined that this army was extraordinary.
This army of ten thousand people had the strength to sweep through this world!
"Your Highness!" Everyone looked at Zhou Shu.
"They're reinforcements I invited." Zhou Shu said indifferently. "From today onward, they will fight alongside us."
Zhou Shu looked at the general in the lead. "How should I address you, General?"
According to his agreement with Lin Keli, he wouldn't reveal the origins of these people from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
Although he could trust Mi Ziwen and the others, there were too many people. Zhou Shu decided not to mention this.
"Lin Kedi." the leading general said coldly.
"Lin Kedi? Lin Kelei is your…?" Zhou Shu asked.
"Brother." Lin Kedi was expressionless, and his tone was cold.
Zhou Shu was suddenly enlightened. One did not allow benefits created by one's own work to accrue to others. Lin Kelei actually sent his younger brother over.
But this made Zhou Shu even more at ease.
Since Lin Kelei had sent his younger brother over, this 10,000-strong army was definitely not just for show.
He couldn't possibly send his brother to his death, could he?
"General Lin—"
Before Zhou Shu could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Kedi. "King Zhou, according to the agreement, we should receive ten thousand connate divine weapons first."
Lin Kedi said in a deep voice, "Only by obtaining ten thousand connate divine weapons will we fully cooperate with your actions.
"That's easy." Zhou Shu smiled. "You've come from afar. Take a rest first. Tomorrow morning, I'll get someone to send ten thousand connate divine weapons over.
Zhou Shu said seriously, "But General Lin, I'm afraid we'll be fighting side by side for a long time to come. It's necessary to get familiar with each other.
"General Mi!"
"Here!"
In front of outsiders, Mi Ziwen and Zhou Shu didn't address each other as brothers.
"In the future, you will be in charge of liaising with General Lin Kedi. General Lin, I hope you can cooperate fully with General Mi," Zhou Shu said.
"As long as the divine weapons arrive, we will cooperate fully," Lin Kedi said.
Before coming here, Lin Kelei had already explained things to him. He knew very well why he was here.
"Very good." Zhou Shu nodded. "General Mi, treat General Lin's troops to a meal first and get familiar with their strength. This way, when the battle begins, we can cooperate better."
Zhou Shu shot Mi Ziwen a look, and Mi Ziwen understood.
Then Mi Ziwen led Lin Kedi and his men to set up camp.
The place where the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom army set up camp was near the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
After all, Zhou Shu didn't trust them very much.
By arranging them nearby, he could watch them any time.
Seeing the 10,000-strong army set up camp, Yang Hong approached Zhou Shu and asked, "Your Highness, where did you find these people?"
He was really shocked. Ten thousand elite soldiers was a timely rain for the human race.
"Everyone doesn't need to know," Zhou Shu said. "It's not appropriate to publicize their origins yet. They're mercenaries. Just treat them as your own.
"Of course, you still have to be on guard."
"Mercenaries?" Everyone looked thoughtful.
"These ten thousand people…" Meng Bai said.
"Three thousand half-step Nomological realm experts and seven Grotto-Heaven realm experts," Zhou Shu said. "If there are any tough battles in the future, you can leave it to them."
"Three thousand half-step Nomological realm experts? Seven thousand Grotto-Heaven realm experts?" Everyone gasped.
All the strength of the human race couldn't compare to these experts.
