Chapter 834: Chapter 834
Just three days later, Du You discovered that the hidden task of destroying Gu Country had been completed on his panel.
Upon opening it, the treasure chest shone brilliantly. "I wonder what good items are in it this time."
After Du You last destroyed Liang Country, there was only one item in the chest, which was the blueprint for the Martial Master Hall, a pity it was only third-tier. Rather than constructing it in his own territory, it was better to continue to upgrade his Giant Rock Fortress.
In the end, Du You didn’t feel that item was of any use, perhaps he could sell it off in the future.
This time, in addition to Crystal Coins, there were two other items in the chest. Du You took out the first item and sighed helplessly because it turned out to be coordinates of this world, though they could be used twenty times.
But he was about to gain control of this world, and once he did, getting to this world would be a breeze. Even if he wished, he could directly create a World Boat to connect with this world.
Communicating with a fully controlled world and teleporting people over would only require a small cost, and the surplus would be his income. By then, what use would he have for these coordinates?
Shaking his head, Du You casually put the coordinates into his personal space and looked at the last item. "I hope this one is useful, otherwise it’s really a rip off," Du You said, reaching in. "Another blueprint, this time, what is this?" Du You was puzzled.
Mechanical Factory Blueprint (Fourth-Tier): Allows the construction of mechanical factories in one’s territory.
After carefully reading the details, Du You gradually understood. "So it’s used to manufacture war machinery, too bad it cannot produce firearms, but can make all sorts of melee weapons. Perhaps it can also produce magical weapons."
It had to be said that this item was indeed very valuable, but at present, its specific effects could not be realized.
The greatest advantage of this item was that it didn’t limit production quantity, meaning as long as one could manufacture, there was no limit to the amount. It could be controlled by civilians, or by soldiers. Even using the external population to manage it was no issue.
The weapons produced were powerful in combat and costly to use, but their biggest benefit was that they didn’t occupy one’s soldier quota. If many were made, they could be used solely for defense and would still cause a headache to others.
"Great item, truly a great item," Du You stored the item carefully, thinking not just about others, if he had suitable weapons, he could trade them with other territories in the future. Du You even knew that the biggest revenue for many territories came from such weapons. Unexpectedly, now he was also qualified to possess them.
Having secured the blueprint, Du You didn’t immediately attack Wu Country but continued to assault Gu Country.
Although the panel indicated that Gu Country had fallen, Du You knew it was because Gu Country’s army could no longer organize resistance. However, their foundation remained, along with their population and Tian Gang Martial Artists.
Most importantly, their emperor was still at large, not yet eliminated. As long as this man existed, Gu Country could revive at any time after he attacked Wu Country, which would be very troublesome; Du You did not want to have to fight them a second time.
Glancing at Liang Country, which was in chaos from being conquered by him and relentlessly pursued, he noticed they were still disorganized. Although Wu Country advanced smoothly, most of their troops were in Gu Country, hence they wouldn’t achieve control over there easily.
He spent another month in Gu Country. Had it not been for the Derived World, Du You would not have dared to stay for so long. A month later, he was convinced that Gu Country had been completely defeated by him.
Only then did Du You lead his troops southwards. Before even entering Wu Country’s gate, he encountered the gathered Wu Country army, still clustered at the pass between Gu Country and Wu Country.
"Wait a moment, Lord Du You, you cannot cross over," the opposing side shouted loudly.
"I can’t cross over? And why is that, are you going to break your promise?"
"Of course, of course not. His Majesty decreed that wizards should be the first to develop in Gu Country’s territory, so you cannot cross for the time being." The general spoke, sweat beading on his forehead.
With such a fearsome person before him, anyone would feel tremendous psychological pressure. And the killing aura emanating from Du You was unusually cold, forming a tangible presence. This, Du You himself had not noticed.
The continuous killing had impacted Du You more than he himself had imagined. Even the two sisters had not noticed that the killing aura on each of them was also tremendously horrifying.
Du You sneered, "Just as I thought. Good thing I didn’t beg him."
"What, what do you mean?" The other side had a bad premonition.
Du You sneered, "It means, I am going to destroy everything." With that, he unleashed Destruction Flames without any hesitation. And the Tian Gang Martial Artist who tried to stop him was met with a barrage of Thunder and Lightning arrows.
It turned out to be Lin Yushi’s doing. After the Thunder and Lightning arrows struck, the unfortunate Tian Gang Martial Artist and his guards were instantly killed. Everyone had anticipated Du You might rebel, but no one thought it would come so quickly and suddenly. Moreover, he acted so decisively, giving them no chance to respond.
Subsequently, the soldiers gathered to put pressure on Du You were engulfed by a rain of fireballs from the sky, decimating the majority of them in an instant. The Demon Extermination Spirit then charged in and began a massacre in the area.
After this attack, Wu Country suffered heavy losses. Du You did not pause and, leading the newly recruited Demon Extermination Spirits, continued southward. Wu Country’s defenses were near the northern border, so it was only a two-day journey.
When Wu Country received the news, they were shocked to discover that Du You was already close to the Imperial Capital.
"Damn it, damn it, these despicable wizards can’t be trusted."
"Your Majesty, what do we do? That accursed wizard is almost upon us, but our army is all out there, with no time to return for defense."
The Emperor of Wu Country himself had not expected such a scenario, and he began to panic.
"Your Majesty, we have to use that, if we don’t use it now, I’m afraid Wu Country will follow the same fate."
"Really use the Saint Spring? But whoever uses it will die afterward."
"For the empire, for the people of the empire, Your Majesty, let me do it." The first general stepped forward, followed by more and more generals, their eyes filled with the resolve to die if necessary. Read full story at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
