Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 34 - Obstacles

When Chu Fanliang first arrived, he immediately started recruiting for troops and horses. The Seven Stars Stronghold, which already had a few thousand bandits, after recruiting for troops and horses, also increased to over twenty thousand people, and the number also increased.

The citizens loved it, so they naturally conscripted troops without hindrance. Moreover, the citizens were very willing to be soldiers, although this was not as soldiers, but as bandits on the mountain. How many bandits didn't want to rob the citizens, but only the big families? How many bandits trained like an army with strict discipline?

As a result, when the boss of the Seven Stars Stronghold said he wanted to recruit people, those people came rushing over after hearing the news, afraid that they would no longer be able to recruit people. As the saying goes, being a bandit of Seven Stars Stronghold was even better than being an official of the imperial government.

He ate big mouthfuls of meat and drank big mouthfuls of wine. He was free and unrestrained, yet dignified and at ease. Thus, the people of the Seven Stars Stronghold lived a very comfortable life.

Chu Fanliang saw that they were all jostling to the point of wanting to enter, so he accepted them happily. He was not afraid of too many people, just afraid that he would not have enough hands, as with more people, it would be convenient for him to do anything.

Right at the border of this peaceful region, Chu Fanliang led close to thirty thousand people to gather here. Although they were all bandits, they were brought out by Jiang Qing's subordinates. Almost all of their training methods were taught to them by Chu Fanliang.

But there were also large changes. The smaller the quantity, the lighter it was, because they were not members of the forest dwelling. The people from the forest dwelling were all personally chosen by Chu Fanliang, and were all prodigies out of a thousand in the realm of martial arts. However, they were just ordinary people, so they definitely could not take the training missions on the forest dwelling.

So their task was much lighter than theirs. Although they were just ordinary people, with their training, ordinary soldiers were not a match for them.

These thirty thousand people were currently walking towards the only path that led to the northern border of the Tian Wei Army. They were all dressed lightly, and the amount of food that they had on them was estimated to only last for three days.

"Our mission this time is to dig holes and block the way!" The Great Leader of the Seven Stars Stronghold said.

Seven Stars Stronghold had three leaders, and the three of them were all Jiang Qing's subordinates. Of course, their boss was the smartest, and also the one who had been with Jiang Qing the most, so he had the most qualifications.

Although the other two were also leaders, this Seven Stars Stronghold was the boss. Because the three of them, regardless of who it was that made the decision, the other two people would not object, so the entire Seven Stars Stronghold became their Great Leader, Zuo Er's, words.

Although Chu Fanliang was their boss's boss, he had unparalleled authority in the Seven Stars Stronghold. Thus, if there was anything that needed doing, Chu Fanliang would personally instruct him and he would carry it out.

The person who summoned them before, was none other than Chu Fanliang himself. Moreover, even if Chu Fanliang had absolute strength, in terms of being the commander of a group of people, he would have to let these old hands do it.

Close to thirty thousand people had dug a hole on the road leading from Profound Sky Imperial City to the northern border, and after that, they took a lot of stones from the surrounding mountains and placed them on top of it.

This was directly blocking the closest distance from the Heaven's Might Center to the Northern Frontier. If he wanted to go over, he would have to go a thousand miles.

Nearly thirty thousand men were digging holes in the road and blocking the way. At first, there were some who tried to stop them, but they didn't come back. Those who were more hot-blooded had their fires extinguished.

That's over 30,000 people, what if it's just us? Giving it away for free? I might as well watch them quietly!

As such, when people tried to stop them, no one would stop them. This was a main road, and it was actually quite close to a county town. At first, there were a few officials, but after seeing those vicious Seven Stars Stronghold bandits, they all ran away dejectedly.

"Hurry up! Within one day, block this road!" Zuo Er commanded the entire situation as he worked hard for his subordinates. Chu Fanliang and Lin Yunyan were commanding from the side. Although he was not famous in the Seven Stars Stronghold, but since the leaders of the Seven Stars Stronghold called him boss, how could he not listen to what he said?

The nearly thirty-thousand-man division of labor was very clear, it was just blocking the way. Some dug holes, some lifted trees and rocks, others set up traps.

In short, everything that could prevent the heavens from advancing for the army had been used.

Some of the brothers even placed the trap after digging it out. They stood majestically in the way of the people who were going to provide assistance to the north. When the new recruits who were rushing to the north from the capital heard about this, their commanders were stunned.

It would keep them waiting for at least a day, and only for a day. If they could, those traps would be enough for them to stay here for three days.

The northern front lines were in a hurry. They had been delayed here for three days. Therefore, when their commander heard about this, he almost vomited three liters of blood. Luckily, his physique was still decent, otherwise, he would have really died from anger.

Moreover, the huge army of a hundred thousand that had withdrawn their might from the northern border was walking on the main road, heading in the direction of Profound Sky Imperial City.

Furthermore, after Chu Zhi's two hundred thousand strong army left the other side of Weijiang, they immediately led their troops there. Furthermore, the Weijiang's Profound Sky Sect had become a barren land. The traces of the might of the Heaven's Might Army had all been burnt.

Soon after, their army chased Jiang Qing and the hundred thousand soldiers. If they dared to turn back and fight them, their two hundred thousand would definitely annihilate all of Jiang Qing's hundred thousand.
