From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1027
Chapter 1027 Quicksand Stirring Wind
“Wu ~”
A violent gust of wind blew into the valley, stirring up a large expanse of yellow sand. Desert people who were used to this kind of scene should have instinctively pulled up their scarves and windshields, but the soldiers gathered in the valley did not react at all. They anxiously raised their weapons and looked at the valley entrance.
The real war was completely different from what he had seen on TV. A strong sense of pressure and fear was like a big hand tightly gripping everyone’s throat. It was not something that could be dispersed with just a few jokes, nor was it something that could be dispelled without much experience. Almost everyone was the same when facing death.
“Chief Qiu, please come over …”
Chen Guangda suddenly shouted at the edge of the mountain. Qiu Dalong was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously touched the broadsaber on his waist. Then, he stood up and hesitantly walked over, asking, “Commander Zhao, do you have any instructions?”
“I didn’t dare to tell you, but I have something to discuss with you …”
Chen Guangda smiled and took out a piece of brown paper. Qiu Dalong’s expression immediately changed. He instinctively touched his broadsaber. However, Chen Guangda pressed down on the back of his hand and whispered, “Don’t be excited! I called you here to help you. Follow me!”
“You …”
Qiu Dalong looked at Chen Guangda in surprise and uncertainty. He subconsciously walked to the side with him. Chen Guangda then said, “The other escort agencies have been wiped out. Liu Piaopiao gave me the contract to kill you immediately, but I already told Liu Jia to tell you that I also plan to join Sha Lifei, so we are now working together!”
“Then … then what do you want to do …”
Qiu Dalong’s forehead couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. Chen Guangda whispered, “My subordinates are all people from the boss’s wife. They will definitely not betray with me, so if we want to leave here safely, we must capture the people from Coffin Mountain as hostages. This way, we will have the capital to join Sha Lifei. Otherwise, we will still be cannon fodder when we get there!”
“Alright! As long as you can lure them down, I’ll be responsible for taking action …”
Qiu Dalong nodded deeply and his eyes shone with a desperate light. After whispering to him, Chen Guangda turned around and walked straight up the slope. The people on the slope were not idle either. All sorts of stones and rollers were carried up, and a few carts of fuel were prepared. It was a bustling scene.
“Lord Chu …”
Chen Guangda suddenly changed his hurried appearance and ran in front of Chu Xiu panting heavily. He shouted anxiously, “This is bad. Tamar just escaped from the outside and said that Shabak’s people brought a group of monsters to attack us. It’s said that it’s everywhere!”
“What kind of monster?”
Chu Xiu suddenly took a step forward. Liu Piaopiao, who was chatting with him, also followed him. However, Chen Guangda waved his hand and said, “I don’t recognize him either. The black one is like a big scorpion. Its claws are all like sickles. It killed one of its horses and brought it back. However, I don’t dare to let them bring it into the valley. I’m afraid that the warriors will run for their lives the moment they see it!”
“How could there be a scorpion monster here? Don’t talk nonsense …”
Chu Xiu pointed at him in astonishment. He shouted that everyone around him had come, but Liu Piaopiao hurriedly whispered, “Brother Chu! Don’t make any noise. If the morale of the army is shaken, it won’t be good. Let’s go over and see if it’s some scorpion monster. Sister will personally accompany you there!”
Without another word, Chu Xiu walked down the slope. Several disciples of Coffin Mountain hurriedly followed behind them. Liu Piaopiao also brought a group of people along with them. At this time, the people guarding the valley entrance had all been replaced by Qiu Dalong and the others. Chu Xiu hurriedly walked up and asked in a low voice, “Where is the corpse of the monster?”
“In the pit, it’s too scary …”
Qiu Dalong pointed at a grass pit outside the valley entrance with a face full of fear. Without any doubt, Chu Xiu immediately walked out of the valley. Unexpectedly, Qiu Dalong suddenly shouted for action. A group of escorts immediately rushed forward, abruptly chopping down several guards and Coffin Mountain disciples, and directly throwing Chu Xiu and Chu Yu onto the ground.
“Tell them not to move, or I’ll kill you …”
At the same time, Qiu Dalong immediately grabbed Chu Xiu. The sharp stainless steel ruthlessly pressed against his neck. Even Chu Yu was also held up by someone. The little jumpers who were dancing their claws and teeth were immediately fixed on the spot. Clearly, they had received Chu Xiu’s orders.
“What are you trying to do? Are you crazy …”
Chu Xiu shouted angrily. However, Chen Guangda suddenly stepped forward and stabbed four small jumping corpses to death like lightning. Then, he pointed at Qiu Dalong and cried out in alarm, “Qiu Dalong, you traitor! Quickly release Lord Chu! Do you want to kill the entire White Tiger Escort Agency?”
“You …”
Qiu Dalong’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately realized that he had been tricked. Liu Piaopiao, who was standing beside him, also smiled sinisterly. His subordinates suddenly rushed forward and directly stabbed them into the ground together with Chu Xiu and the other two siblings. They didn’t care if Chu Xiu and the others were alive or dead.
“Zhao Ziwen! I’ll kill you …”
Qiu Dalong, who had been struck by a knife, actually jumped up like a madman. He directly raised his saber and pounced towards Chen Guangda. Who knew that Liu Piaopiao would suddenly take a step forward. A cold light flashed in the air and Qiu Dalong was frozen on the spot. He looked at Liu Piaopiao in disbelief.
“Big Dragon! I told you long ago that all men who slept with me would die, so that my husband wouldn’t know that I had cheated on him …”
Liu Piaopiao blinked her big eyes in ridicule. Then, she lifted a slender white bone scimitar and greedily licked the blood on it. At this moment, Qiu Dalong’s head suddenly fell to the ground. He rolled far away, and then his headless corpse heavily fell to the ground.
“Uncle!!!”
Liu Jia suddenly screamed from behind and threw herself onto the corpse. Everyone from the White Tiger Escort Agency rushed over with their weapons. Yun Dazhuang even pointed at Liu Piaopiao and shouted, “Liu Piaopiao killed our head escort. Brothers, follow me and chop her to death!”
“Wait!”
Chen Guangda suddenly stood in the middle of the road. He raised a piece of parchment high up and shouted, “Qiu Dalong almost killed all of you. Open your eyes wide and take a closer look. This is the agreement he signed with all the escort agencies. He has already joined Sha Lifei. Do you want to rebel with him?”
“What? This … How is this possible …”
Yun Dazhuang and the others’ expressions changed drastically. They weren’t Qiu Dalong’s true trusted aides. They were obviously all kept in the dark. Liu Jia even took the Covenant. After reading it carefully, she immediately shook her head and stammered, “No … Impossible, this … this Covenant must be fake. My uncle can’t betray it!”
Liu Piaopiao immediately took a step forward and coldly snorted, “Even if the alliance letter is fake, it’s still true that he killed our commander-in-chief. Now that we have no leaders, our morale will definitely waver. What else can we use to fight Sha Lifei? Not only is Qiu Dalong a traitor, he also wants to kill all of us, such a person should be shredded into pieces!”
“Wu ~ It’s not like this, it definitely isn’t like this …”
Liu Jia cried bitterly as she sat on the ground. The White Tiger Escort Agency’s people were all dumbfounded. Although they found it hard to believe that Qiu Dalong would betray them, the truth was right in front of them. The contract was not fabricated by Chen Guangda, so it was impossible for them not to believe it.
At this time, all the soldiers on the slope had already rushed down. They looked at the corpses of Chu Xiu and the others and discussed one after another, but Liu Piaopiao said loudly, “Brothers! Although Lord Chu and the others were killed by the traitors, we still have excellent commanders. I propose that Commander Zhao take over command. What do you think?”
“Good! Good morning, Commander Zhao …”
The soldiers of Crouching Bull City immediately shouted excitedly. There were also people from the White Tiger Escort Agency who also shouted loudly. Liu Piaopiao’s people naturally didn’t have any second thoughts. Soon, the entire scene was going to let Chen Guangda shout loudly, but Chen Guangda said modestly, “I don’t have the ability. Sister Piaopiao, come. You are the one in charge!”
“I’m just a little woman, how can I fight? I’ll help you supervise the battle. You don’t have to be polite …”
Liu Piaopiao glanced at Chen Guangda with her charming eyes. Of course, Chen Guangda would not be polite to her. He directly jumped onto a large rock and said loudly, “Brothers!” “In my eyes, you are all comrades that I can rely on, so I will definitely not be like the people from Coffin Mountain. I will let you die casually. We don’t have cannon fodder here, only good brothers who share glory and disgrace. When the time comes, I will fight alongside you and kill every single one of them!”
“Oh …”
The flood-like crowd immediately burst into shocking cheers. They were afraid of being cannon fodder when they fought. Chen Guangda’s words immediately gained their support. Chen Guangda was best at stirring up people’s hearts. His originally low morale quickly rose. All the warriors were shouting at him.
“Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief Zhao. This is truly what everyone expects …”
Suddenly! A group of light cavalry ran over from behind. The leader was actually the third master of Crouching Bull City, who was also the boss’s absolute trusted aide. Chen Guangda immediately jumped off the rock to let Liu Piaopiao continue to inspire his morale. Then, he brought the third master to the hillside and asked, “Has there been a fight on the other side of the line ditch?”
“I’ve already seen Sabak’s army. The battle is about to erupt …”
Third Master actually smiled and nodded. Then, he took out half of the broken gold medal from his pocket. Seeing this, Chen Guangda hurriedly took out half of the gold medal from his leather armor. When the two gold medals were combined, they were indeed perfect. There was not even the slightest error.
“Does my sister have any important instructions …”
Chen Guangda put away the gold medal and raised his eyebrows. This was made by the owner’s wife before she left the city. He even specifically warned him not to believe anyone without this gold medal. However, the third master leaned over and whispered, “Boss ordered you to kill Liu Piaopiao, and then merged with the Sabak army to cut Liu’s back!”
“What? Are you kidding me?”
Chen Guangda’s mind suddenly buzzed. His expression changed drastically. However, the third master weighed the gold medal in his hand and stared at him fiercely. “Do you think I’m joking? We’ve been waiting for a long time in Crouching Bull City. I’m not afraid to tell you that we’ve always been from Sha Lifei!”
“Why did you tell me at this time …”
Chen Guangda gritted his teeth and glared at him, but the third master pinched his shoulder and said, “Ziwen!” You have come to Crouching Bull City for less than a month. Boss has given you such an important task. Do you think we still don’t trust you enough? Boss also told me to tell you that Miss Sha personally said that she would never pursue your kidnapping. After the matter is done, I will let you become the City Lord of the Fairy Lake. You just wait and enjoy the luxury! Haha ~ ”
