Chapter 367: True Colors Revealed
This war, in fact, had its outcome basically sealed the moment Bai Ze’s light cavalry unit launched their charge.
Facing Luo Ji’s immense arrangements, even if the beastman army could still resist, they couldn’t escape the fate of defeat.
And now, with Li Ke captured, it undoubtedly accelerated their complete defeat.
After the battle, back in Shangyuan City’s military camp, Luo Ji looked at the black werewolf, who was hogtied and escorted before him by 4 soldiers.
He spoke in an uncertain tone.
“Li Yuanjie? You were originally human, right?”
Powerless against circumstances, Li Yuanjie, who never expected his beastman army to be defeated, forced a fawning smile onto his face after seeing Luo Ji.
“After using the World Fragment, the system seems to have given me a setting for ‘Bloodline Mutation Awakening,’ and then…”
Mid-sentence, a deep look of struggle also appeared on Li Yuanjie’s wolf face.
Clearly, he was still somewhat resentful about this ‘scamming’ setting.
Thinking about it, who the hell would willingly become like this, instead of being a perfectly normal human?
The worst part was, after becoming like this, when he looked at the werewolf girls covered in wolf fur in the wolf tribe, he actually felt they were quite pretty…
He quickly shook his head.
After suppressing those messy thoughts, Li Yuanjie let out two dry laughs.
“Buddy, how about we discuss something?”
After all, he was a player, so Luo Ji wasn’t too surprised by the other party’s reaction.
He just assumed Li Yuanjie wanted to beg for his life.
However, compared to that, what truly surprised him at this moment was Li Yuanjie’s mutation, this was the first time he’d ever heard of such a thing.
Who knew, just as Luo Ji was pondering this, Li Yuanjie, who had been completely agreeable a moment ago, in the next moment, actually revealed his true colors.
On his wolf face, covered in black fur, a ferocious expression quickly flashed.
Then he suddenly broke free from the soldiers escorting him and furiously lunged towards Luo Ji, who was sitting in the main seat of the military camp!
This sudden turn of events undoubtedly caused a wave of screams within the military camp.
Sensing the panic of everyone present, Li Yuanjie opened his wolf mouth, unhesitatingly revealing a mouthful of ferocious fangs!
So what if his hands were tied? Don’t forget, he was a werewolf!
At this moment, for the first time, Li Yuanjie was so grateful that the damned system had turned him into a werewolf!
This distance, this state! As long as he could bite off Luo Ji’s neck, this invasion war would be tantamount to his victory.
By then, if the system sent him directly back to his own world, what good would it do to have more people around?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjie couldn’t help but burst into maniacal laughter in his heart.
Considering that it was a critical moment now, he quickly made himself focus and quickly fixed his gaze on Luo Ji, to avoid any mishaps.
As a result, upon seeing this, he suddenly discovered that Luo Ji, who was currently leaning back in the main seat, was actually looking at him with a half-smile.
Luo Ji’s reaction inexplicably made his heart flutter with panic.
It was in the time it took for these thoughts to race that Li Yuanjie suddenly felt his vision blur.
Before he could even figure out what had happened, a piercing, bone-gnawing pain had already made his entire brain go blank!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
The shrill scream almost echoed throughout the entire military camp.
Li Yuanjie, with his hands tied, screamed and wildly twitched and struggled.
At this very moment, his entire left eye had already been reduced to nothing but a bloody socket.
Seeing Li Yuanjie’s miserable state, the hearts of all the generals and soldiers present turned cold.
Then they subconsciously glanced at their Emperor’s beloved pet.
At this moment, Shadow was resting on a makeshift perch nearby.
Its highly aggressive beak still bore obvious bloodstains, telling everyone present what exactly had happened in that instant.
After a brief moment of shock and fear, many generals looked at Shadow with eyes full of envy.
This black eagle protects its master, it’s simply miraculous!
Meanwhile, the 4 soldiers responsible for escorting Li Yuanjie, after regaining their senses, also fell to their knees on the spot, terrified.
Then, with faces full of terror, they repeatedly kowtowed while shouting.
“Your Majesty, forgive us! Your Majesty, forgive us!!”
“It’s fine, you may go.”
Luo Ji said quite indifferently, beckoning Shadow over and wiping the bloodstains from his beloved pet’s beak.
After the 4 soldiers retreated with immense gratitude, Luo Ji glanced at the generals and soldiers who were full of rage and ready to draw their swords to kill Li Yuanjie.
His leisurely voice sounded again.
“Alright, everyone stop. That’s an important source of information.”
“If he dies, do you expect me to interrogate a corpse?”
“For now, detain him. Later, tell Zhang Tang to come and collect him.”
The moment Luo Ji spoke these words, all the generals and soldiers present immediately felt a chill run through their bodies.
At the same time, their gazes towards Li Yuanjie subconsciously carried a hint of pity.
Falling into Zhang Tang’s hands, it would probably be more pleasant to just die.
Without a doubt, within just a few months, the phrase ‘Zhang Tang, Commander of the Dark Division of the Mirror Division’ had already become notorious among some informed individuals…
After signaling He Liang and the other guards to personally escort Li Yuanjie to the prison and detain him, Luo Ji, as if remembering something, tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingertips.
“Oh, right, didn’t they say they also captured the enemy general alive? Bring him up, I want to see him.”
Along with the issuance of the order, having learned from the previous lesson, this time, the soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners clearly became even more cautious.
As he was being escorted in, two crossed bronze halberds were directly blocking Li Ke’s front, clearly to prevent what happened before from recurring.
Regarding this, Luo Ji didn’t say much.
He glanced at the scar on Li Ke’s forehead, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
“I remember you. Before, you were the one who sent over Liu Zheng and the others’ corpses. Why? Did Li Yuanjie make you do that?”
When he spoke that last sentence, a subtle hint clearly appeared in Luo Ji’s tone.
After their brief interaction earlier, that Li Yuanjie didn’t seem like the kind of player who would do such a thing, no matter how you looked at him.
And with this question being asked, the pairs of eyes within the military camp also all fell upon Li Ke.
Facing such a display, Li Ke below remained calm, not saying a word.
He was completely in a ‘kill me if you want, I won’t say anything’ stance, which made many generals and soldiers frown.
In contrast, Luo Ji remained completely indifferent.
“You’re not saying a word, is it to show loyalty to Li Yuanjie?”
Luo Ji asked.
“But you need to understand one thing, Li Yuanjie is also in my hands.”
“As long as I want, I can kill him with a single blade at any time.”
“And of course, that includes you, and all the captured werewolves from this battle…”
