Chapter 74.1

Chapter 74.1

When Lin Second spread the news, he only said that the eldest son of the Lord was assassinated and unfortunately had died, but he didnt say that the eldest sons name was Lin Guangyao.

Lin Shihengs prestige in Zhou City was far beyond the imagination of the other rebel forces. When they heard that his son was assassinated, the whole city became angry. Most of them came to Zhou City from the time when they didnt have enough to eat. At that time, everyone was like a zombie, and no one wanted to take them in. Those who kept saying that the monarch was stupid and rebelled in order to save the people all over the world never thought about how to handle the ordinary people who lost their homes and relatives because of the war.

If the situation was the same everywhere, nothing might have changed. Everyone has long been used to being bullied, and they would just put up with it again.

But then, the Lord of the City appeared, and used Zhou City to shelter these homeless people who had nowhere to go, and Zhou City was still safe and peaceful no matter how bloody it was outside. The Lord has also been trying to show the three parties that he will not participate in the battle of the world, and would take good care of these people who have nowhere to go.

Even so, those people didnt spare the City Lord. For no good reason, they actually sent someone to assassinate such a good City Lord. Although the Lord was fine, the eldest son of the Lod died in the assassination.

People in the city all know that Lord Lin had four sons, and the three brothers, led by the second young master, was a powerful person who could take charge of their affairs. Only the eldest son, who had always been mentioned, remained unseen. Therefore, when they found out that the eldest son of Lord Lin was assassinated and had passed away, a large part of the crowd almost thought that it was Lord Lins second son who was assassinated and killed.

Unlike his two younger brothers, Lin Second usually managed the citys affairs directly, so of the three brothers, he was also the one who comes into contact with the people most often.

Upon hearing the news, people in the city wept bitterly when they learned that the second young master had been stabbed to death. When Lin Second led troops to announce that Zhou City was going to fight against the Third Prince and strictly ordered the non-Zhou City people to leave in one day, many people thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding could be solved quickly. When they found out that the one who died was the eldest son who has never been seen before, but has been made heir by the Lord instead of Lin Second, they were still angry, but fortunately they werent that sorrowful.

After pacifying the people and expelling the outsiders, Lin Third began to appoint his troops, while Lin Fourth transported the grain and grass inside the granary in batches, with the horses that had been carefully raised, and the fine weapons that had been kept without being sold.

Zhou City, which had been dormant all the time, finally showed its fangs after losing the eldest son of the Lord. Zhou City has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, weapons that were developed but never sold, with few people, were enough to prevent Zhou City from being attacked.

The Third Prince, who did nothing, provoked the fangs of a ferocious Zhou City army.

He was caught off guard.

It was only at this time that he discovered that Zhou City, who had always appeared in front of everyone with the image of an old farmer who did not like to fight, could fight so fiercely.

To sum up, in a phrase, the blood is thick and the damage is high.

(TNote: The blood is thick and the damage is high = vigorous and powerful/ Chinese gaming term: his HP bar was thick, and his attack power was high.)

He has always been proud of the high-end weapons, which were the goods brought out from Zhou City. He saw the difference as soon as they fought.

No one knew whether Zhou City did this intentionally or unintentionally. The weapons that were sold at the beginning were used quite well in the first year or two. After a long while, various problems appeared frequently, because Zhou City never stopped launching new weapons. In order to not be overtaken by opponents, these rebel groups can only keep buying new weapons. For such a long time, it was surprising that they havent been able to notice that these weapons had an expiration date.

The Third Prince gnashed his teeth, and wrote to his two rivals for reinforcements. However, the two armies that were cooperating to fight Zhou City had just arrived there.

However, it was different from their assumption that they could just rush in and divide Zhou City. The gates of Zhou City were closed, and there were some prepared soldiers standing above the city wall. Looking at the situation, it would take a long time to shoot them down.

They never expected the siege to last for so long, and remain unable to knock them down.

Disgraceful.

This was very humiliating.

Still preparing to hold on for a while longer, the generals on both groups who were waiting quietly suddenly received another message from their Lords.

The Third Prince was overwhelmed and asked them to advance forward for support.

The Generals: ???

The Third Prince? Couldnt beat an old farmer?

Hilarious! Is there some kind of conspiracy?

Nonetheless, even if there were doubts in their hearts, their Lords had given orders, and the two generals could only leave Zhou City with vigilance and go to the Third Princes side to support.

The Third Prince was going to get beaten and cried.

This big humiliation had fallen on his head! He didnt want to fight Zhou City at all! He didnt even know what the eldest son of the Lord looked like! Why would he try to assassinate the City Lord for no reason?!

Even if he really wanted Zhou City, he would definitely choose to storm in or outwit him. What good would assassinating the Lord do? Although he didnt really want to admit it, the people in Zhou City were really committed to the Lord. If he assassinated the Lord, he was only waiting to antagonize the whole Zhou City!

Yet,the blame was suddenly forced on him, and no one listened to his explanation, so he had to bite the bullet. As a result, General Murong, the one considered to be his armys most powerful man, defected. Now, teammates have become rivals, and also incidentally stabbed their old master in the back.

The Third Prince, who was beaten completely, without the power to fight back, and was also charged with condoning his son to commit murder, was really going to cry this time. Looking at the group of Zhou City troops on the opposite side, he couldnt wait to roar at the sky.

Gentlemen, please open your discerning eyes and see clearly! I really didnt do it aahhhhhh!!

However, the Lord of Zhou City, who lost his eldest son, seemed to have been greatly stimulated. He had directly evolved from a kind and nice old man to a rampaging man that wanted to catch the Third Prince and beat him hard. Although most of his soldiers used to be refugees, after such a long time, with Lin Fourths devilish training, supplemented with good nutrition, they have long since changed. Coupled with the betrayal of General Murong and the high-end weapons that werent sold to others, the Third Prince quickly fell at a speed that no one expected. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the place he had occupied for a short time and started retreating under the pursuit of Zhou City.

Shameless old thief! What you have done today, I will have to pay you back in the future!

The Third Prince would never admit defeat. Regardless, right now, he really looked like someone running while yelling back malicious words. Fortunately, although the battle wasnt very smooth, it was easy to run away.

Look, after running for such a long time, there was no pursuer behind

Before the Third Prince could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the sudden appearance of a familiar group up ahead.
