Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Page 103

"Your Majesty! Please forgive my sins, forgive the sins of my brothers, or I will kneel here forever!"

Liu Yu remained unmoved, then pleaded with a look on his face.

"No, I don't even know what crimes you've committed! What kind of forgiveness am I supposed to offer? Fine, fine, I forgive you, now get up!"

Liu Tianyu was completely bewildered and had no choice but to quickly forgive his so-called sins.

"Your Majesty, we are extremely grateful for your kindness!"

Upon hearing that Liu Tianyu had pardoned him, Liu Yu immediately stood up, his face full of obsequiousness.

Tell me the whole story of how you and those generals of the Great Han Empire came into this world.

Liu Tianyu was now only interested in Liu Yu and those generals of the Great Han Empire with their incredible stats. As for Liu Yu calling him "Your Majesty," he simply ignored it. Anyway, it didn't matter if he called him that in private. In fact, he was secretly pleased with himself.

"Your Majesty, you have suddenly disappeared since you unified the world."

Furthermore, you have not left any heirs, and the newly unified empire has instantly fallen into a state of fragmentation.

I have no choice but to use my status as your cousin and the legacy you left behind to mend the fragmented world once again.

Decades have passed, and all of us nobles are now very old.

Just then, a mysterious voice drew us over, promising to let us return to our youth and reunite with you, so we all agreed without hesitation.

Just as I was thinking of conquering a city to offer to Your Majesty as a foundation, I suddenly encountered Your Majesty, and that voice did not lie!

I, Liu Yu, swear to follow you to the death, never to betray you; if I disobey, may I be struck down by heaven and earth!

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he revealed a fanatical expression and knelt down in front of Liu Tianyu again.

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out!"

Liu Yu didn't say much, but the complexity of his words really gave Liu Tianyu a headache.

In summary, it seems that the player played a Mount & Blade mod, and then the save file was probably wiped, causing their created character to disappear without leaving any successor.

But that world continues to function. Without the protagonist and without an heir, everyone will inevitably continue to fight for power.

Liu Tianyu was quite helpless about this. As everyone knows, after playing Mount & Blade for three years, even a sow can become as beautiful as Diao Chan! Most importantly, Mount & Blade I basically doesn't have any mods for having children.

The Liu Yu in front of us is the cousin of the protagonist he created. Relying on his identity and the legacy left by the protagonist, he participated in this battle royale competition and successfully won.

And what happens after you successfully win the game? Well, that's obvious! No wonder Liu Yu apologized to himself right from the start.

However, Liu Tianyu had absolutely no feelings about this matter!

That's reality for them, but for me it's just a game.

"Um, what are you planning to do now?"

Liu Tianyu scrutinized Liu Yu for a long time before asking a question.

"Your Majesty, I await your command!"

Liu Yu simply watched Liu Tianyu silently.

"You conquered Lanarita. If I were to put you in charge of Lanarita, would you be confident you could hold it?"

Liu Tianyu stroked his chin and looked at Liu Yu, asking a question.

"Your Majesty, I have already learned about the Kingdom of Geolar. As long as Your Majesty is willing to let me continue to lead the Great Han Empire as a general."

I can assemble a regular army of over a thousand men for Your Majesty in a week, and use them as the backbone to radiate outwards from Lanarita to the surrounding cities.

Look, here, and here, can we say they're birds of a feather? The four cities near Lanarita are also no-man's-land.

"Once I conquer these five cities, I can establish a firm foothold here and build an impregnable defensive line. At that time, unless a brave warrior leads the army, twenty thousand men will be willing to be swallowed up by Your Majesty, and fifty thousand will be willing to be resisted by Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu ask him about his professional knowledge, Liu Yu immediately became excited, pulled out a map from his pocket, and began to explain it to Liu Tianyu.

Looking at the map, which was so detailed that it included almost all the surrounding villages and even the streams, Liu Tianyu was truly impressed.

"Ahem, Liu Yu, there's no need to be so enthusiastic. But since you already have a detailed plan, I won't interfere. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals."

However, I have only one requirement: to remain hidden as much as possible and not reveal your identity. You must act with this in mind.

After all, while I do need to plant a spy in the Kingdom of Geolar, I won't use you and the generals of the Great Han Empire as a wager.

After all, you and the generals of the Great Han Empire are far more important than a mere five cities!

Seeing Liu Yu speaking eloquently, Liu Tianyu coughed lightly to interrupt him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command!"

Liu Yu, who was interrupted, showed no dissatisfaction but was quite moved.

"Your Majesty, we will be parting ways tomorrow, so please accept these two famous swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie! These were originally your weapons, and now is the time to return them to their rightful owner!"

I guarantee you with my life that they are absolutely no less powerful than the so-called demonic swords and holy swords!

Just as Liu Yu was about to leave, he suddenly knelt down again, drew two swords from his waist—one white and one green—that shimmered with a unique light, and presented them to Liu Tianyu with both hands.

"hiss……"

[Gan Jiang Sword: 100 slash, 100 thrust, attack range 200, speed 200, special ability: ignores 50% of defense.]

[Moye Sword: 100 slashes, 100 thrusts, attack range 200, speed 200, special ability: ignores 50% of defense.]

These two swords truly deserve to be two of the ten most famous swords in China. Just in terms of their extremely luxurious attributes, they are comparable to the weapons in those high-magic mods.

Anyway, the mithril, radiant gold, and black gold weapons I'm currently using, even the ones that are enchanted, are no match for those two.

Perhaps only the holy sword of a hero or divine weapon can compare to them!

"You should keep them for yourself! After all, you've used them your whole life, so you must be quite adept at using them. Besides, you're deep behind enemy lines; how can you survive without good weapons?"

After an internal struggle, Liu Tianyu decided not to accept Gan Jiang and Mo Xie as his disciples.

"Then please accept one of them! After all, I don't know how to use two-handed swords, and you will surely be invincible with a famous sword!"

Liu Yu seemed to have anticipated Liu Tianyu's refusal, and thus persisted.

"In that case, I'll accept the Ganjiang Sword!"

This time, Liu Tianyu accepted the white Ganjiang sword without any hesitation.

Seeing Liu Tianyu lower his sword, Liu Yu bowed again and left the room, preparing to begin implementing the Iron Wall defense plan according to tonight's schedule.

Chapter 141 In a fleeting moment, the future was seized!

"boom!"

Liu Tianyu gripped the Ganjiang sword tightly in his right hand, then gently swung it towards the head of the wretched-looking soldier in front of him.

With a loud bang, the full helmets of the armored soldiers in front of him offered him absolutely no protection.

Gan Jiang's sword cleaved through his helmet as easily as cutting butter, and with a tremendous force, his head flew thirty meters away in an instant.

"Oh!"

After losing its head, the headless corpse stood upright for less than three seconds before falling straight down, blood flowing incessantly from its severed neck, instantly soaking the grass with a rusty-smelling "water".

"This is the last one! Damn it, how did the Kingdom of Geolar's army move so quickly? I remember it's only been three days since I started the renovation plan for the Geolar capital, and a patrol has already come to arrest me!"

"Yak, you did a great job! If it weren't for your reconnaissance, we'd probably be in deep trouble by the time these patrols notified the main force!"

Liu Tianyu took a clean towel from his inventory and casually wiped the blood off his face.

The patrol team consisted of only twenty men. They were acting suspiciously and were trying to approach Liu Tianyu and his group's camp when they fell into a trap set by Yak, which immediately alerted everyone.

Liu Tianyu wanted to test the sharpness of the Ganjiang sword, and he didn't want anyone to escape, so he personally fought with the patrol team.

It must be said that the sharpness of the Ganjiang Sword is beyond imagination. The swords, armor, and shields of the Geolar Kingdom's army are like paper the moment they touch the Ganjiang Sword, completely unable to withstand a single blow.

Before Liu Tianyu knew it, he had single-handedly cut down half of the twenty-man patrol team, and the remaining men knelt on the ground, trembling and afraid to make any move.

With a killing machine in front of them and a force far outnumbering them charging from behind, the patrol members weren't fools, so they naturally chose to kneel and surrender.

"Mommy! Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

"Please protect me! I surrender! I don't want to die! Keep that killing machine away from me!"

"We're all human, why are you killing us? We're just searching for the Ice Wolf Clan's village!"

Among the surviving prisoners, some were mentally unstable, some were crying uncontrollably, and others were vehemently denouncing the prisoners.

"..."

Yak did not speak, but stared at the weeping prisoner before him, lost in thought.

If, possibly, and if I'm not mistaken, these troops from the Kingdom of Geolar weren't actually coming for them!

"Alright, Ark, step aside. Let me interrogate them. You go back to your post!"

Liu Tianyu sheathed the Ganjiang sword, shouted at Yake, and began interrogating the prisoner in front of him.

"Hey! Quiet down, all of you. I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. If you keep howling like that, I'll just send you to meet your comrades!"

Liu Tianyu smiled gently at the ten surviving prisoners, but then uttered some incredibly chilling words.

"The taste!"

After Liu Tianyu arrived in front of them, the prisoners, who had been making a ruckus, instantly fell silent, like birds startled by a bow.

Even though his body was trembling violently, he gritted his teeth and dared not utter a single word.

"See, that settles it, doesn't it? Hey, do you guys have my arrest warrant?"

"Show it to me. I'd love to see it. Kidnapping a princess, rebuilding the palace, renovating the royal city—how much of a reward will King Prom offer for it!"

Liu Tianyu smiled, then stretched out his right hand and waved it at them.

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, the prisoners glanced at him, then looked at each other in disbelief, and finally stared at him in unison, their pupils wide with disbelief as if they had just experienced a magnitude 9 earthquake.

"Hey, what are you all doing over there? Are you sending some kind of code? What a strong sense of camaraderie! In that case..."

Seeing the prisoners' strange expressions, Liu Tianyu frowned slightly, then opened the prisoner management interface of the system and randomly selected one of them.

"Huh? It's been a while since I've checked prisoner management. There's an execution option now? Judging from how stubborn these guys are, maybe we should really give them some more blood!"

Seeing the additional punishment options on the system screen, Liu Tianyu didn't hesitate and clicked "execution".

"I've had enough of you! Now die! I'll teach you how to use a weapon properly so you won't surrender next time, you coward!"

Liu Tianyu suddenly pointed at a prisoner and shouted, gripping the Ganjiang sword tightly with both hands once more.

"My lord! Please don't kill me! Killing an unarmed person is extremely dishonorable and will damage your honor!"

The prisoner, who had been set on fire, stood up in terror and stammered.

"It's certainly disgraceful, but I'll be very happy after I cut off your head!"

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Liu Tianyu's face, and then, almost in the blink of an eye, he chopped off the prisoner's head, which then slowly rolled down to the side of the prisoners.

"Boom boom boom!"

The rolling sound of each severed head was like a knife being plunged into the bodies of all the prisoners, filling them with terror and making them afraid to look at Liu Tianyu again.

You have lost honor; you now have 12 honor points.

Liu Tianyu ignored the system notifications; all he knew was that it had been really exhilarating and stress-relieving.

Moreover, the prisoners' eyes are now filled with fear and obedience, so they would never dare to cause any more trouble.

"Come on, you, now you can have a proper talk, right?"

Liu Tianyu squatted down next to a prisoner and smiled.

"Sir, I really don't know you, and I don't know anything about this wanted notice! We, we belong to the slave-hunting brigade of the Kingdom of Geolar. We are just a reconnaissance squad. Our mission is to explore the locations of the surrounding Ice Wolf Clan villages."

After we return, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Ice Wolf village, kill the resisting Ice Wolves, and sell the captured Ice Wolves. That's all I know.

Now that we haven't returned in time, the main force will probably choose to launch a forced attack.

By the way, our slave-hunting team has 400 people, including many elite soldiers. We have discovered an Ice Wolf tribe village, which has about 800 inhabitants and is located about 5km to the southwest.

"My lord, this is all I know. Please, please don't kill me! I have a wife and children!"

The prisoner was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, frantically revealing everything he knew. After he finished speaking, you could even smell a foul odor on him.

"oops!"

Liu Tianyu waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, take them all away. These guys will be traveling with us for the rest of the journey."
