My Sassy ‘Crown Princess’ - Chapter 281
Chapter 281: Beast Tide Coming (1)
The news of Lou Yu’s promotion to level seven spread fast. He reached this level at the age of 18. Predictably, his breakthrough to the next level was near the corner. In that case, there would be little suspense about the throne.
Level eight star magician enjoyed the priority to inherit the throne. Even if Lou Sheng paid more attention to Lou Feng, as long as Lou Yu reached the level eight, Lou Sheng could only choose Lou Yu as his successor to govern the country where strength was respected.
The news of Lou Yu’s promotion to level seven on the starnet made Lou Jing feel irritated. Then, she could not help but feeling panicked.
Lou Sheng didn’t like Lou Yu and kept a distance with him.
While Lou Jing was doted on from a young age. Even though Lou Yu was gifted, she had never paid much attention to him. She always felt that the man was sooner or later a trivial stepping stone under her brother Lou Feng’s feet.
Now, the situation changed, and Lou Yu had attracted much attention. Lou Feng, however, was lying on bed half-dead with his strength having suspended at level four. At the thought of that, Lou Jing was on tenterhooks.
The powerful thunder source force on Lou Yu had been awakened. He was already a terrible opponent when at level six. Now, except those level eight masters, it was estimated no one could ever threaten the current him.
She gnashed her teeth and walked towards Lou Feng’s bedroom.
Lou Feng looked calm at Lou Jing’s visit, “Jing’er, what’s the matter?”
She looked at Lou Feng and paused before, “Ge, have you heard of Lou Yu’s promotion?”
Lou Feng closed his eyes deeply and slowly breathed a sigh. Since his injury, he had never ever received any good news. There were people advancing every day, all of them were hidden geniuses. Just as he was feeling he had become numb about it, the news of Lou Yu’s promotion to level seven made him almost break down.
The calm appearance of Lou Feng let Lou Jing feel admired. She wondered how much endurance Lou Feng had relied on to resist the urge and rage to kill.
“Ge, what should we do now?” Lou Jing asked gingerly.
Lou Feng’s lips upward with a cold smile, “What can we do with it? Now, it only depends on whether our mother can be ruthless enough to kill Lou Yu.”
Lou Jing was puzzled, “Ruthless enough? How could she not?”
Lou Feng sighed, “It would bring trouble to some innocent people if we’re going to kill him.”
Lou Jing frowned disapprovingly, “What millions died that the King might be great. What’s the big deal about killing a few people as long as Lou Yu could die?”
Lou Feng smiled, “I thought so. But our mother has become softened over these years.”
Lou Jing was full of dissatisfaction. “I’ll go talk to her.”
Watching the girl leave, Lou Feng’s eyes immediately turned sinister and ruthless. As things had come to this point, he had to make an ‘all or nothing’ decision.
A twinge of dissatisfaction grew in Nalan Yue’s heart hearing Lou Jing’s babbles. The girl even accused her of becoming softhearted, no rhyme or reason.
She frowned. Lou Feng’s scheme would involve too many people. Once things became beyond their control, let along Lou Yu, even all of them would be slaughtered by the mad star beasts.
She wanted Lou Yu to die but didn’t want to become his funeral goods.
The expression on Nalan Yue’s face annoyed Lou Jing, “Mother, what are you thinking?”
She waved her hand, “All right, leave this matter to us. This is not your business.”
Her words further upset Lou Jing.
In the laboratory located in the Sunset Forest, Mo Fei was busy with his potions.
The fighting over the potions among the three lieutenant generals had become ever more violent. Wang Yan stood out to handle the quarrel and asked everyone to divide them equally.
As soon as his command issued, the three of them did indeed stop.
“Cheep…” A sharp alarm sounded.
Mo Fei looked up, “What’s going on?”
“My crown princess, this is the alarm. The beast tide is coming.” One soldier explained.
Mo Fei blinked, “Beast Tide? I haven’t seen one yet. I’ll go and see.”
“My crown princess, it’s too dangerous. Your status is noble, you can never risk your life!” The little soldier said in haste.
Mo Fei shook his head, full of impatience, “What a load of claptrap!”
The cries of star beasts sounded one after another. Blood scent was floating at the tip of everyone’s nose. The solemn atmosphere of the battlefield made Mo Fei feel somewhat nervous.
He boarded the wall where placed with numerous black gun barrels, and teams of soldiers took turns to load gunpowder. The gun barrels would enlarge the attack of gunpowder ten times.
Under the wall, soldiers in their star armor were fighting with the star beasts. Bodies piled up on the ground, some were soldiers and some, star beasts.
The scene of the blood flowing into the river made Mo Fei feel a sense of desolation in his heart.
Both Lou Yu and Qian Ye were in the frontline of the battle. Qian Ye was filled with anger by Lou Yu’s promotion and seized this chance to vent on those star beasts.
Unwilling to lose to Qian Ye, Lou Yu also mustered all his strength.
The two fought with the star beasts violently. Around them, the bodies of star beasts scattered on the ground, the scene was horrendous.
