The Lord's Empire (Part 3)

Chapter 1012-1016

Chapter 1012: Follow My Commands

Zhao Fu had some information about the Half-Beasts, which was that they were half human and half wolf. They had humanoid bodies, wolf ears, and wolf tails. Their hands could turn into wolf claws, and they were quite well-built and fast as well.

They also had an innate talent, which was that they had an incredibly powerful sense of smell. Dealing with them was quite difficult.

Orcs and Half-Beasts were all Outlanders, and Outlanders usually had an advantage in might and speed. Humans were quite ordinary in that regard.

For the other Kingdoms, they understood the advantage that the Half-Beasts had, so they did not want to make any trouble. More importantly, this was a personal grievance between the two Kingdoms as opposed to an invasion from the entire Half-Beast world, so they did not want to get involved.

Zhao Fu led his 300 City Lords and went to the Lelai Kingdom's army camp. The General responsible for defending this area had already received information about Zhao Fu. He was quite angry that he had to hand overall power to this outsider who had suddenly appeared while they were in an intense battle.

No one would feel at ease about this; after all, switching commanders in the middle of a battle was a military taboo and could cause morale to plummet.

Zhao Fu led his people and entered the meeting tent. After seeing Zhao Fu, the people inside looked slightly displeased and did not seem very welcoming. There was a valiant-looking man sitting in the main seat. He looked like he was in his thirties and wore an azure set of armor.

He coldly looked at Zhao Fu before saying, "What methods did you do to beguile the Empress Dowager to have her allow you to come here to take charge? Do you know the state of the battle? Do you know the strength of the other side?"

Zhao Fu had already put on his black cloak again, and hearing the General's distrusting words, he replied calmly, "There's no need for you to worry too much about this; all you need to do is follow my commands. If you disobey, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

This made everyone feel quite angry, but they all held it in. After all, Zhao Fu was someone sent by the higher-ups, and he had received the acknowledgement of both sides.

Most people felt quite doubtful after hearing Zhao Fu's confident words, but they could not disobey orders. As such, they could only follow Zhao Fu. However, they secretly hoped that Zhao Fu would make mistakes so that they could get rid of him.

The General coldly harrumphed, walked down from his chair, and stood to the side. Zhao Fu walked up and sat down instead.

Zhao Fu had a rough grasp of the situation. The Half-Beasts had already broken through the defensive lines and had conquered ten or so of the Lelai Kingdom's regions. The Lelai Kingdom had quickly built defensive walls, barely stopping the Half Beasts' assault.

However, as time dragged on, the Half-Beasts sent more and more people, and their attacks became fiercer and fiercer. It was becoming harder and harder for the Lelai Kingdom to defend, and soon, they might have to use their Nation Armament.

Because the Half-Beasts' Emperor had died as well, their Kingdom's Fate was also in chaos. However, they had quickly settled their internal conflicts, and because their new Emperor had been acknowledged by the Royal Seal, they were able to attack the Lelai Kingdom with all of their forces.

If it wasn't for Zhao Fu's arrival, the Lelai Kingdom still would not have been able to resolve their internal fighting, which may have led to their demise.

Of course, Zhao Fu only had some rough knowledge, and he did not overestimate himself. He said to the General, "I need all reports, including information about the other side's Generals."
