Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 546 - 545 Slaves

Cutting off ears and noses, in ancient times, was a form of reception for envoys.

Between two warring nations, envoys were not to be killed.

However, if someone was angered, or to demonstrate authority, it was acceptable to spare the envoy’s life but claim their ears and noses as trophies.

"Yes!"

At that moment, two Earth cultivators pulled out their daggers, dragged Ulu Lari to the side, and swiftly severed his ears and nose.

Even as strong as Ulu Lari was, he had no power to resist. The pain of having his ears and nose cut off was so intense that he wailed like a slaughtered pig.

The message was delivered, and now Lin Hao had myriad tasks to attend to.

Establishing a base was not an overnight effort. Lin City had become ruins, and a great battle might still be looming, so time was of the essence.

Encircling the war chariots to form a rough base outline was just a start, and thereafter, rapidly producing soldiers and equipment was crucial.

The thirty thousand Earth people in Lin City, now slaves in the mines, certainly needed rescuing. However, the immediate priority was the inevitable next assault from Gu Country.

Moreover, despite having blueprints for the high-tech and cultivation hybrid equipment and weapons, as well as production tutorials for ammunition, materials were extremely scarce, with not enough remaining ammunition to sustain many large battles.

Everyone was aware that if Gu Country were willing to sacrifice enough, it would only be a matter of time before they depleted Lin Hao’s ammunition through multiple grouped attacks.

A war where logistics support cannot be sustained is bound to be lost.

"Gu Country has it." Lin Guodong ran over, looking excitedly at Lin Hao.

Now acting as the second-in-command of the camp, Lin Guodong was well-respected in the Upper Realm Plane and had experience as a city lord, making him Lin Hao’s choice to handle all affairs.

Faced with the tense logistical problem, Lin Guodong had been pondering solutions but could only come up with one plan.

To infiltrate Gu Country Imperial City—where Gu Country’s massive supply reserves lay, harboring not only the best and most plentiful Primordial Stones but also all the materials necessary for manufacturing ammunition.

But the Gu Country Imperial City would surely be heavily guarded, and with Earth’s current strength, even with high-tech equipment, they would not break through!

Such an attempt would waste too much ammunition, and nearby empires might come to its aid at any moment.

By that time, even with three Emperor Level experts on this side, it wouldn’t suffice against the swarm of Great Emperors that could converge from the opposite side.

Indeed, Gu Country had resources, but they were difficult to seize. Lin Guodong understood this even clearer than Lin Hao, yet what choice was there if not to take action?

"Gu Country..."

Lin Hao had visited this place in his previous life, but not for long. Now, he was preparing to venture into Gu Country Imperial City.

Without entering the tiger’s den, how could one capture its cub? Besides, it wasn’t yet clear who was the sheep and who was the tiger.

However, this time, Lin Hao planned to take only Zhou Pudgy with him.

Zhou Pudgy was not from Earth, so the people of Gu Country would not recognize him. And Lin Hao, with a simple disguise, could also appear to be not from Earth.

As for Liu Chuixue and the Flame Winged Dragon, their presence was crucial for the safety of the camp, and Lin Hao would feel much more at ease with them there.

Once Lin Hao made up his mind, he generally would not change it, nor could anyone persuade him otherwise.

Lin Guodong originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and promised that he would safeguard the supplies brought by Lin Hao to protect the remaining Earthlings’ lives and to quickly establish a new city.

Following that, Lin Hao and the fat Zhou disguised themselves and headed for Gu Country Imperial City.

Fat Zhou was very overweight, impersonating a wealthy young master. This fatso’s racial mix was unknown; he wasn’t just fat, but his appearance was also quite bizarre.

Lin Hao disguised himself as a skinny man, so thin as if a gust of wind could blow him away any time. The two, one fat and one thin, were a stark contrast. Each holding a weapon, one with a knife, the other with a sword, they looked like two wanderers under the sunset, a sight to aspire to.

Gu Country was also considered a powerful nation with several mines, a million strong soldiers, and numerous capable warriors. Among them, the Military Affairs Hall of Gu Country was gathering experts from all around. Anyone with ability could join, and upon joining, would receive Gu Country’s cultivation resources.

The incidents in Lin City hadn’t been spread widely. All that was known was that Earthlings had suffered, and Gu Country had gained nearly half a million slaves.

After traveling for a night and a day, by the afternoon of the second day, they could see the shadow of Gu Country Imperial City in the distance.

From afar, where there was a massive cluster of buildings nestled between mountains and waters, it seemed like a remarkably ideal place to be.

"I can’t walk anymore, I need to eat!" True to being overweight, Fat Zhou’s size was no bluff. In his words, fatties are made of iron, daily food of steel; he can hardly bear a day without eating.

Counting the time, it had already been half a day without food, their rations exhausted. Seeing the distant Gu Country Imperial City miles away, Fat Zhou refused to walk any further, plopping down on a roadside rock, looking up at the sky: "I need to eat!"

That was Fat Zhou’s nature, now he would probably eat even a dead rat if it popped out of the ground.

Lin Hao had no choice but to glance around.

Apart from the faintly discernible Gu Country Imperial City at the end of the horizon, there seemed to be some houses in a woods not far away.

"Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat." Lin Hao glanced at Fat Zhou and headed toward the woods.

"No, I’m coming too." Unexpectedly, the usually lethargic Fat Zhou insisted on getting up and joining Lin Hao in the search for food.

"It will waste time going back and forth, I’ve seen the village." Fat Zhou explained.

The two made their way towards the village, which turned out to be quite sizable. Within the village, the majority of the residents were poor, and in comparison to the grand silhouette of the Imperial City, this place was akin to a slum.

"This counts as an Upper Realm Plane? It’s worse than our Earth," Fat Zhou commented disdainfully as he entered the village.

By now, he had begun to identify himself as an Earthling. He was born in Sumeru World, ignorant of his parents’ origins in Eternal Life Realm, much less which lower plane they had come from to Eternal Life Realm.

Together with Lin Hao, he claimed to be an Earthling. Although Fat Zhou had only glanced once at Earth before its destruction, the images of its previous prosperity, skyscrapers, and bustling streets were unforgettable.

Even the ruins of Earth after the great flood were hundreds of times more remarkable than this modest village in the Upper Realm Plane. It was only superior in its abundance of spiritual energy and the scattered Primordial Stones, making it suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, it was not as good as Earth.

"Keep your voice down, do you want to reveal our identity?" Lin Hao glared at Fat Zhou. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Earthlings were enemies on this plane, catching one meant a reward, and Lin Hao had no intention of exposing their identities just yet.

Fat Zhou, rendered speechless, closed his mouth.

As they entered the village, suddenly, they heard angry cursing and the sounds of a whip striking flesh: "Move it! Damn it, dawdle some more, and I’ll beat you to death!"

Then, Lin Hao saw two nobles from Gu Country in luxurious attire, leading two Earthling girls with iron chains as if they were leashing dogs, walking along the petty paths of the village.

The two Earthling girls, one of Western descent and one of Eastern descent.

At the moment, they were barely clothed, their necks chained, crawling on all fours on the ground like dogs, occasionally whipped by the nobles, red lash marks scourging their fair skin.
