Chapter 541 Assassination Attack

"My Lord, we have fulfilled our mission! Under the prestige and kindness of you and Miss Yang, more than 400,000 people in Black Wind City are willing to follow you and Miss Yang from now on, and serve you as their master without any second thoughts!"

"From now on, you are the master of this place, a new Lord of Black Wind City!"

Marquis Huo and Marquis Hao led a group of subordinates to kneel in front of Lu Yu and said respectfully.

At this time, the subordinates behind the two also shouted: "Meet the new Lord of the City! We are willing to serve the new Lord from now on, do our best, and follow him until death!"

Lu Yu's eyes swept across the faces of these people one by one.

Some of these people were still obviously injured, and it was obvious that they finally decided to surrender to Lu Yu after a tragic "communication".

More than 400,000 people sound like a lot, but in fact, they are only half of the original number of demons in Black Wind City. In fact, there are still a lot of forces opposing him in the surrounding areas outside the main city of Black Wind City, but these forces can no longer pose a real threat for the time being.

In order to consolidate the situation in Black Wind City as soon as possible, Lu Yu knew that blindly suppressing was not the best way. It must be accompanied by appropriate appeasement. Only by taking two approaches can the situation be stabilized as soon as possible.

Therefore, he accepted the worship and loyalty of everyone today, which was only one of the purposes. Another purpose was to reward these people according to their merits.

"On behalf of my young lady, I accept your loyalty! The young lady has other important matters today and cannot be present in person, so I will announce your reward on her behalf!"

As he said, Lu Yu gestured to Huang Yanqing on the side.

Huang Yanqing stood up straight, walked forward, unfolded a document in his hand, and began to read aloud:

"The battle of Black Wind City has just been settled, and there is a lot to be done! Now I am conferring titles on many people who have made contributions in this battle. I hope you will work hard, forge ahead, and create more glory!"

"Conferring the Heavenly Demon Wu Zhuojun as the third general of the Barren Mountain Army..."

"Conferring the Great Demon Hou as the fourth general of the Barren Mountain Army..."

"Conferring the Great Demon Badger Hou as the fifth general of the Barren Mountain Army..."

"Conferring the Great Demon Zhuomushi as the small general of the Barren Mountain Army..."

...

Huang Yanqing began to confer titles on everyone one by one.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that Wu Zhuojun also became the object of the title, and officially became a member of the Barren Mountain Army.

Although the subordinates he commanded were still the original Wuhuan clan, the meaning of this was completely different. Not only would the history of the entire Wuhuan clan be completely rewritten, but for him personally, it also meant a new height.

From now on, the Wuhuan clan will no longer be a small tribe living in Xichuan, but a huge fighting force that can compete in Heifeng City.

In the near future, they may even enter Dakong Mountain.

Therefore, when Wu Zhuojun accepted the reward, he was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In order to increase the sense of ceremony of this reward ceremony, Lu Yu also invited the captives of the Wu Luo clan and the Ju Ling clan, including Hua Fei, to the scene as guests of the ceremony. He even put the Hun Tian Hammer on the table.

This scene was naturally full of deterrence in the eyes of the demons who didn't know what was going on at the scene. They thought that Lu Yu's actions at this time really received the strong support of the two major clans of Wu Luo and Ju Ling. They couldn't help but become more and more terrified and more and more devoted in their hearts.

Hua Fei and others naturally knew the intention of Lu Yu's doing this, but unfortunately they were now prisoners and had no power to resist, so they could only be his puppets honestly.

Hua Fei's pair of gem-like bright eyes had been staring at Lu Yu quietly, and no one knew what was going on.

While Lu Yu was watching this scene, he couldn't help but think in his heart that there was still one missing Tianhe clan.

Otherwise, if the three top clans were gathered together, it would be perfect.

However, I think the envoy of the Tianhe clan should be here soon...

After the reward was over, everyone left excitedly.

Lu Yu waved to Tuwu Wang and asked him: "How is the situation over there with Hu Dali? How long will it take for the army headquarters to reach Black Wind City?"

Although the situation in Black Wind City had stabilized at this time, and everyone had sworn loyalty to him, Lu Yu also knew that Black Wind City had no combat power at this time and could not withstand any storms and changes. Only when the headquarters of the Wilderness Army arrived, could it be truly worry-free.

Tu Wuwang bowed and replied: "According to the message sent back by General Hu Zun when he set out this morning, it will take us about three days to reach Black Wind City."

Lu Yu nodded and said nothing more.

This time was also within his expectations. It seems that Hu Zun and others should have a smooth journey and nothing unexpected has happened.

Then, we just need to wait patiently for the next period of time.

Ying Chen of the Tianhe clan...

Yang Chudie's exploration of the mystery of the Dakong Mountain Qi Road...

And the upcoming Huangshan Army headquarters...

It was unknown which of the three would receive the first news.

But what Lu Yu did not expect was that the first news was not from any of the three!

At midnight that night, Tu Wuwang suddenly rushed into Lu Yu's residence in the City Lord's Mansion and said in a panic:

"My Lord, something bad has happened! The Huangshan Army was attacked!"

"Attacked?"

Lu Yu was startled.

He thought quickly in his mind, but after a careful inventory, he could not think of who would dare to attack the Huangshan Army at this critical moment.

"Where was the attack? Who is the enemy? What are the casualties of the Huangshan Army?" Lu Yu asked.

"The location where the Huangshan Army is stationed tonight is Baiyang Ridge. After nightfall, it was suddenly attacked by the enemy. The number of enemies is not large, but they took the approach of setting up a false formation to launch a feint attack, causing considerable chaos to the main army. Then they took advantage of the chaos to send assassins to launch a sneak attack on the main coach's camp. Now General Hu Zun is seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread. His life or death is uncertain!" Tu Wuwang replied.

Lu Yu felt even more incredible.

I didn't expect that the real purpose of this sneak attack was to send assassins to assassinate Hu Dali?

Who on earth could have done this?

First of all, this excludes the three top clans.

If the three top clans took action, they would directly target themselves or their master, and would not choose Hu Dali, because assassinating Hu Dali alone would not solve any problems.

But apart from the three top clans, who else has the strength to attack Hu Dali? You must know that Hu Dali is now a heavenly demon, and ordinary people can't do anything to him!

However, although this did not have a serious impact on the strength of the Desolate Mountain Army, it completely disrupted Lu Yu's deployment.

Now he certainly cannot leave Black Wind City, and Yang Chudie is not here at this time, so he is simply unable to split himself.

Who on earth would make trouble for the Desolate Mountain Army at this critical moment?

After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue. Lu Yu could not help but rub his eyebrows painfully, then took out a healing pill with a glittering glow from his arms and handed it to Tu Wuwang.

"You and Xijiao go to Baiyang Ridge immediately, use this pill to temporarily save Hu Dali's life, and bring him back to Black Wind City with the headquarters of the Desolate Mountain Army..."

After thinking about it, he was a little worried, so he took out another talisman with a splendid glow and gave it to Tu Wuwang. It was the talisman of the Wu Wang Tiangang Shenfeng Fist that he had seized from Concubine Hua before.

"Be careful on the road. If you encounter any wrong situation, use this to greet the other party!"

Tu Wuwang was stunned and took the pill and talisman with trembling hands.

"Yes, I obey your command!"
