Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432

1432: Chapter 1428: Step Back for a Vast Sky 1432: Chapter 1428: Step Back for a Vast Sky Lu Ping’an’s “Forgetting” let him enjoy a good bout of the girl’s “little fists” treatment.

Considering the strength of this “girl”…

if it were someone else, they might indeed need to collect a corpse now.

At least, this hotel room would need renovations, if not for Lulu retaining some sanity; even the hotel’s foundation would need relaying.

Of course, if he truly were to die abruptly, it wouldn’t be unjust at all…

It’s hard to say, whether everything that’s currently happening is intentionally orchestrated by him.

At least, having figured out Lulu, her cheeks puffed up with rage.

“How excessive—even if you let me know about my current situation, surely you shouldn’t keep everything from me.”

With absolutely no intelligence support, she faced her colleagues’ malice cluelessly, leading to her current predicament…

It seems many thought she truly lost her power, and every Tom, Dick, and Harry came to step on her.

And for the sake of “the whole” and “seeing the big picture,” she couldn’t even lose her temper.

Thinking back to the frustration and grievances of the past month or so, all brought by this man playing dumb right before her eyes—one second ago she was moved to tears, and now, her fists clenched.

what should we do next?”

“Heh, just listen to my arrangements.”

Thus, Lu spoke part of his plan…

Even if his application hadn’t been rejected, he hadn’t actually planned to enter Ben Island.

If he truly wanted to go to Ben Island, to participate in this ceremony, he had no need to apply at all.

With his identity and his strength, could anyone honestly stop him if he entered Ben Island?

Would anyone dare to offend Lin Nu and the Eastern Country officials, and directly obstruct Lu?

It can be said that applying itself was a provocation targeted at certain individuals…

Lulu also figured it out; her recent treatment had been cunningly guided by this seeming kindhearted bastard.

What exactly did he plan to do?

I plan to do nothing.”

“I don’t believe you for a second, you old man, you’re never honest…”

But truth be told, this time Lu didn’t lie nor did he play his usual games with words.

He pleasantly let time pass, seeming to truly do nothing.

In the courtyard, Lulu placed down her subordinate’s blood-colored War Flag, looking somewhat blankly at Lu Ping’an’s freshly forged “Shield.”

“Since there’s nothing else, join me and my men for some extra training.”

With Lulu’s strength, although it was “ripe for the moment” and somewhat lacking in foundation on the path of professionals…

the intensity of her main Path was quite high among the eighth-tiers, and these past few days she helped Lu Ping’an accumulate quite a bit of real battle experience.

“Has it been the fourth day outside?”

“About that, it feels almost like half a month in this world.”

The courtyard had been strengthened, including the Monument of Time among other rule buildings.

Naturally, the trait of accelerated growth was also enhanced…

At this moment, Lu finally realized that a weak Time Stele couldn’t accelerate top professionals.

Of course, with the deepening foundation of the courtyard, given enough points, this was not a big issue.

Having a fully committed eighth-tier real battle, trying out his “Weapons” one by one, was a clear improvement for Lu, a “Newly Promoted Rule-Level.”

Especially through real combat, Lu Ping’an confirmed that although the woman before him was his disciple…

Eh, if she went all out, she’d probably be much stronger than Bane.

This was somewhat beyond expectations; after all, Bane was known as a master in the Life system, while Lulu’s main Path was that of a War Commander…

or rather, a Big Warlord.

It should be a profession that grows stronger with the legion, and the improvement in combat power should be moderate.

But in actual combat, Lu Ping’an only then confirmed the Grand Marshal’s individual combat power was also of an exceptional standard.

“No more, you’ve learned all my combat skills.”

In fact, as the mentor, Lu Ping’an was learning martial skills from his disciple, Lulu.

Her main weapon was also the “Flagpole”…

or rather, an Exotic Species-type long-handled weapon.

This is a rarely seen battlefield weapon; it’s hard to say whether it was influenced by Lu Ping’an in the past…

but from the results, it seemed that Lu Ping’an was then using actual combat and “investment” to leverage the other party’s martial skills.

“Almost done, right?”

“No rush, let’s play with them a bit.”

“Relax, I’ll give you a surprise in three days.”

Lu Ping’an, seeing the girl becoming crazed with anxiety, instead enjoyed playing this trick himself.

And three days later, instead of a surprise, a shock came.

“Hua Mansheng became the Director of the Military?

How could it be him?!

You must be joking, although he is also eighth-tier, but…..”

Unable to speak out his low opinion of his colleagues, Lu Lulu, who was stunned, wanted to get an explanation from Lu Ping’an.

That’s correct then.”

“No, his personal strength isn’t bad, but…

he doesn’t have much of a brain.

I didn’t mean it like that; he can lead troops in war, but that’s about it.”

As the head of the military, who was nominally the superior of all warriors, it was best not to be purely a warrior.

The reason was quite simple; the military is an extension of politics, the head doesn’t get many chances on the battlefield but spends most of the time coordinating and dispatching in the rear.

He needs to communicate with the government, the Exotic Races, and even opponents, and a pure warrior lacking political experience is obviously not suitable.

“So, I say that’s correct.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Lulu, who received the “surprise,” thought deeply and fell silent for several minutes before she understood what this surprise meant.

Lu Ping’an hadn’t broken his promise, but the way he fulfilled it was unacceptable to her…

“Isn’t there another way?”

“You can help me find one, although it’s cruel, this is the plan with the fewest deaths.”

Lu Lulu was silent; this wasn’t a lie.

She did not look at Lu Ping’an and, instead, immediately went to the gym to train hard.

Now wasn’t her stage…

Accumulate strength and vent the frustrations of her heart.

“You’re being a bit too much, she’s just a child over ten years old…” even Big Cat couldn’t stand to watch anymore.

“Ha, it’s like everyone isn’t a child…

Alright, I’m bluffing, but the reality is that in this world, those filling the frontlines are mostly under ten years old.”

“You’re not worried she’ll hate you?

Now, her grievances have materialized.”

“She’s not such a petty person.”

Lu Ping’an’s “surprise” was actually very simple, a pure strategic move of “retreating to advance.”

At this time, mobilizing all forces to take over the Military’s position?

There was a high chance of success, but the result would have been owing a lot of favors and offending every loser.

Now almost all factions were competing for control of the Military, which meant at least nominal supreme authority.

Although everyone knew that this thing would be heavily discounted, the Authority one received was nominal, and those who could truly be commanded were still one’s own people.

“Isn’t there another way?” Lu Lulu asking this indicated that her political extrapolation level and understanding of the battle situation were sufficient; she had already foreseen what would happen next.

Nation-building wasn’t really the goal, winning this war was, and nation-building was more about uniting all resistance forces… but now, it was impossible to unite successfully!

Everyone had their own extravagant ambitions and interests, and even if one could suppress them by force, stability was doomed to be temporary; any slight disturbance would lead to immediate collapse.

“Only when everyone reaches a consensus, believing that continuing this way could really be the end, can all parties truly unite.”

The current “head of the Military,” if unable to achieve complete unity, was destined to become the scapegoat.

Especially the power of the Easterners right now…

No need for resistance or hostility, simply negotiating with “our conditions have not been met” was enough to refuse or ignore the Military’s dispatch.

This was destined to be a lengthy process of unification; but would the frontlines give him time?

What use was it to rely on his ability to fight alone?

Watching the lady struggling at the shooting range below, Lu Ping’an felt slightly compassionate.

This indeed was the plan with the smallest losses and casualties, but it was overly cruel for the person involved.

“Accumulate a bit more; you’ll have a chance to vent your grievances when the frontlines collapse…

No, you just need the counterattack to fail to achieve results, from that moment, the whole world will become your stage.”
