MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 648 - 135: Dreaming Back to Ancient Times (27)

After this battle, everyone was filled with admiration for Lu Hong. They didn’t understand the characteristics of the Bloodthirst Skill, so to them, wiping out a viscount’s residence was entirely Lu Hong’s accomplishment. They merely felt like supporting cast members along for the ride, not having even entered the mansion before the battle ended, as they were surrounded by a group of low-level orc soldiers outside.

The three young men rescued by Lu Hong, upon learning the cause and effect, immediately kneeled before Lu Hong, kowtowing three times loudly.

"You don’t need to thank me. If I could have come a few days earlier, perhaps I could have saved more people."

"Young Clan Leader Xiao, we wish to become your disciples!"

The three spoke in unison, expressing their wish.

"Become my disciples?" Lu Hong shook his head, "You should first go to rest at the Xiao clan. Once your injuries have healed, I’ll have someone send you back to your own clans."

"No, we insist on becoming your disciples!" One of the young men kowtowed again, "My tribe has been wiped out by Akes, and I am the only survivor of my entire clan. You killed Akes, so you are the benefactor of my entire clan, and henceforth, my life belongs to you, Master!"

Hearing such a tragic backstory, Lu Hong felt sympathy and asked, "What’s your name?"

"Bodo!"

"Bodo?!" Hearing his name, Lu Hong nearly bit his tongue.

Seeing Lu Hong’s awkwardness, everyone was curious, "What, is there something special about him?"

"No, no," Lu Hong waved his hands repeatedly. Bodo, isn’t he supposed to be the Blood Lord of the Era of the Gods? The leader of the Angry Blood Warriors, and now he wants to be my disciple?

Looking at Bodo, Lu Hong fell into deep thought. If he took Bodo as his disciple, wouldn’t he be altering the course of history? That...

After careful consideration, Lu Hong decided not to take him as an official disciple. But seeing Bodo’s sincere eyes, Lu Hong had a change of heart and said, "I can only take you as a nominal disciple. Someday, you will meet your true mentor, and when that time comes, I will allow you to change your allegiance."

Official or nominal, it made no difference to Bodo. He was just happy with Lu Hong’s agreement, immediately kowtowing to pay his respects, "Bodo greets Master!"

Seeing Bodo successfully become a disciple, the other two young men also pleaded.

"What are your names?" Lu Hong asked curiously.

Not knowing would be fine, but learning their names was shocking.

"Sauron!"

"Enkal!"

Damn, damn, damn!

Lu Hong clenched his fist, screaming internally.

I knew it, I knew it! Sauron—the Warlord, Enkal—the Iron Lord!

"From today onwards, you too are my nominal disciples." Lu Hong accepted them as well. These few were pillars of the future warriors, possessing understanding and learning of warrior skills incomparable to ordinary people. With just a little guidance from Lu Hong, they were certain to become powerful allies.

Hai Ge approached Akes’s body and wrapped his head.

"Why are you taking his head?" Lu Hong asked curiously.

Hai Ge smiled, "It’s very important."

Indeed, it was important. In Hai Ge’s view, this was the perfect item to pressure the old Clan Leader into stepping down. Once this was revealed, it would be hard for the old Clan Leader not to retire. As the saying goes, the Yangtze River’s back waves drive the front waves, and since Lu Hong broke through the defenses of Viscount Akes’s Residence, Hai Ge had been planning on pressuring the elder to step down. Now, everything was ready, and the Xiao clan was finally about to have the strongest Clan Leader in its history!

Just thinking about it was exciting!

With three future leader figures in tow, the group first looted Viscount Akes’s Residence and then returned to the Xiao clan, fully satisfied.

Gui He had been waiting for a long time in the jungle, and upon seeing Lu Hong return, he respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Master."

"Hmm." Lu Hong nodded, pointing to the three behind him, "They are my newly accepted nominal disciples. It will be up to you to teach them swordsmanship."

"Yes!" Gui He agreed, then looked at the three young men with question marks.

Seeing the orc Gui He with a turtle shell on his back, the three instinctively took a step back.

Hai Ge reassured them, "Don’t worry, Gui He is a good beast. He never eats people."

Hearing this, the three finally saluted Gui He, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Though puzzled as to why Lu Hong would accept an orc as a disciple, that curiosity had to remain internal.

After three more days of travel, this procurement trip finally concluded successfully.

Since Lu Hong left the tribe, Beisha had been waiting at the crossroads nearly every day.

Her special ability to share the field of vision with nature had been overused to the point of shutdown under her anxious watch.

Even without the special ability, Beisha persisted, just to welcome Lu Hong’s return.

But when she saw Lei Jinjin hanging on Lu Hong, her joyful smile froze instantly.

Beisha rushed to Lu Hong urgently, "You... You... You, her... Her... Her..."

A mix of excitement and anger temporarily took away Beisha’s ability to speak.

Hai Ge saw the situation clearly and, before Lu Hong could speak, said, "Beisha, don’t get upset. The Young Clan Leader is a genius of destiny. For someone as great as him, having a few women around is quite normal."

Lu Hong first glared at Hai Ge, then scolded the adoring Lei Jinjin, "Get off me!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Regardless of how unreasonable the demand, Lei Jinjin had to comply unconditionally as a fan.

Though reluctant, Lei Jinjin let go and jumped down, simultaneously giving Beisha a dissatisfied glance.

After dismissing Lei Jinjin, Lu Hong finally addressed Beisha, "How are things? Is the village still safe?"

"Hmph!" Beisha pouted in anger upon catching him red-handed, turning her head to show she didn’t want to speak to a philanderer.

"Alright, let’s go home first; we’ve been on the road for days and need a good rest," Lu Hong said, changing the subject, and pulled Beisha into the village, some topics inappropriate to discuss before others.

The return of the large group naturally attracted much attention, and the old Clan Leader received news immediately, rushing out.

Seeing Lu Hong return safely, the old father’s worry finally eased.

"My son, have you returned safely from your journey?"

More eager than Lu Hong, Hai Ge chimed in, "Very, very successful. Not only did we acquire some excellent weapons and equipment, but we also completed something major."

"Something major?"

The old Clan Leader, with his rich political experience, seldom saw Hai Ge so excited, and a faint sense of crisis lingered.

The old Clan Leader reacted decisively, "If it’s so major, let’s discuss it inside."

But Hai Ge wouldn’t give the old Clan Leader a chance to escape, pulling out a snakeskin bag from his waist and dumping out a head the size of a fight.

Though the blood had dried, Akes’s ferocious expression at death was still quite terrifying.

The Xiao villagers retreated in shock.

Even the experienced old Clan Leader’s heart couldn’t help but pound wildly. After recognizing the head’s owner, he involuntarily screamed, "Ake... Akes?!"

"Correct, this is the head of Akes, the orc viscount ruling the Laz Forest!" Hai Ge unleashed his magic power, his passionate voice echoing through the valley for a long time.

Who was Akes? The eternal nightmare of the Xiao clan, living under his shadow since the clan’s founding. Everyone in the Xiao clan hated Akes, but never dared to dream of defeating the Akes family, let alone taking his head.

Upon seeing Akes’s head, the old Clan Leader’s eyes shone with cold light. He seemingly understood Hai Ge’s intention now—coup d’état, wasn’t it? And he allied with outsiders?

The old Clan Leader glanced at Lei Jinjin and her escort, smiling with cupped hands, "So, you must be the hero who killed Akes? The Xiao clan thanks you immensely for your great kindness!"

Misunderstood, Lei Jinjin quickly shook her head, explaining, "No, no, no, Uncle, you misunderstood. It’s Brother Xiao Zheng who stormed Akes’s residence alone and killed the evil leader."

"What?!!!"

Hearing Lei Jinjin’s reply, the old Clan Leader was dumbfounded. Damn, if anyone knew what his son was like, it was him as the father. Brave but reckless—not even brave, more a rash fool, and just a grumpy young man who complained about injustice all day. Even with a Heavenly God’s legacy, how could he suddenly become so formidable?
