Warlords: Rise of the System

After a fierce battle, the impregnable pass was finally successfully conquered!

This battle not only achieved a major victory, but also captured more than 4000 Ma family soldiers.

However, after careful screening, it was found that there were actually only more than 2000 prisoners who had not committed crimes against innocent civilians.

Through further questioning, it was learned that most of the more than 2000 prisoners were ordinary people who were forcibly captured by the Ma family army to serve as able-bodied men.

Perhaps it is because of this that their conscience has not been completely lost deep in their hearts, and they can still stick to their bottom line when faced with the choice between good and evil.

The other 2000-plus captives who had committed numerous crimes and oppressed the people were ruthlessly executed - they were shot directly.

When the people present saw with their own eyes that so many evil bandits were deservedly punished and shot, they were all delighted and excited.

Cheers broke out from the crowd, as if to vent out the fear and anger that had long been pent up in their hearts.

Not long after, when the people heard that the army coming to attack the Ma family army was the righteous army - the National Salvation Army.

In the subsequent conscription operations, unprecedented enthusiasm and enthusiasm were shown.

Everyone signed up to join the army enthusiastically, hoping to become a member of the team that saves the country from danger.

In just over a day, more than 10,000 passionate young people joined the National Salvation Army.

There were more than 2,000 prisoners left behind, and more than 10,000 new recruits.

After the training in the training cabin, they seemed to be reborn and quickly grew into an elite force of nearly 20,000 people!

Lu Tianhao had a sharp eye and made prompt decisions to reorganize these nearly 20,000 soldiers into a powerful army division and sent them to guard this crucial pass.

At the same time, Lu Tianhao asked this unit to continue recruiting more aspiring people to join the army in order to strengthen its strength.

In order to ensure that this newly formed army division could hold its ground and resist foreign enemies, Lu Tianhao left behind an astonishing number of advanced weapons and equipment as well as sufficient food supplies.

After everything was arranged, he led the loyal and brave guards and the heroic female soldiers and resolutely embarked on the journey of moving forward.

The news that sisters Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng heard.

My second uncle's family, along with his younger brothers and sisters, are currently living in a quiet village more than a hundred miles away from this pass.

However, the reality at hand was quite a headache - the road ahead was rugged and uneven, and it was impossible to use transport vehicles to speed up the march.

In desperation, everyone had to rely on their own legs to move forward on foot.

As a result, the marching speed, which was not fast to begin with, was greatly reduced.

Not only that, we must always remain vigilant during this long and arduous journey.

Lu Tianhao frequently sent out experienced scouts to travel through the mountains and forests, carefully exploring whether there were any traces of the enemy lurking around.

At the slightest sign of trouble, the entire team will immediately enter a state of combat readiness.

Just like that, after a day and night of arduous journey.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the exhausted but energetic troops finally arrived at the village they had previously discovered.

When the fully armed and disciplined troops marched into this seemingly peaceful and harmonious village with neat and powerful steps.

A strange atmosphere instantly spread, which made the battle-hardened Lu Tianhao feel uneasy.

He was keenly aware that there seemed to be some unspeakable crisis hidden behind this tranquility.

Sure enough, not long after, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance hurried over to report the situation.

According to him, the only people left in the entire village are some elderly and infirm people and villagers who are unable to move due to illness.

And those young and strong men and women who were supposed to live and work here have long disappeared.

Upon hearing the news, the faces of Lu Tianhao, Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng suddenly changed, and their mood became extremely heavy as if they had fallen to the bottom of a valley.

They knew very well that this situation meant that an extremely serious incident might have occurred here, and these innocent people had undoubtedly become the biggest victims.

Without thinking too much, the three of them immediately led their troops and rushed towards the center of the village.

After arriving at the destination, we saw the old, weak, sick and disabled villagers who could barely move gathered together shivering in the open space in the center of the village.

Their faces were filled with fear and despair, and when they saw a large group of people pouring into the village, their faces became as hopeless as death.

In the crowd, a white-haired, hunchbacked old man took a few trembling steps and shouted to Lu Tianhao and others in an almost pleading tone.

"My Lord! You have already captured all the young and strong men in the village to serve as soldiers!

Even the food we depend on for survival was forcibly confiscated by you.

Please have mercy on us, the old and weak, and leave a way to live..."

Lu Tianhao had a gentle smile on his face and slowly said, "Grandpa, we are not the Ma family army as you think.

We are an upright national salvation army, and we are here to save everyone from the dire straits!"

His voice was not loud, but it was full of power and determination.

Before the old man could respond with anything else, a middle-aged woman suddenly walked out of the crowd.

Her steps were slightly unsteady, her body was trembling slightly, and she approached Lu Tianhao step by step.

When he got closer, he stopped and stared at Lu Tianhao, as if he wanted to see through him.

Lu Tianhao quickly noticed the gaze of the woman, and a very familiar and wonderful feeling surged in his heart.

However, before he had time to think about why he had such a feeling.

Suddenly, Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng's clear and urgent voices came from beside him, "Second Aunt!"

Hearing these two calls, Lu Tianhao suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and a series of memories flashed quickly through his mind.

Finally, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was actually his second uncle's wife!

So, he couldn't help but whispered, "Second Aunt!"

Ma Guilan's voice trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes wide and spoke in disbelief.

"Haowazi, Erniu, Sanniu, is it really...really you? Am I dreaming?" Her body trembled involuntarily, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Lu Tianhao opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng beside him ran away like arrows.

The two sisters immediately threw themselves into Ma Guilan's arms and hugged each other tightly.

"Second Aunt, it really is us! We have been looking for you for so many days!" Lu Yunjiao cried.

Lu Yunfeng also sobbed and said, "Yes, Second Aunt, we miss you so much. Where are Second Uncle and our fourth brother and fifth sister now?"

Hearing this, Ma Guilan's originally excited expression instantly dimmed, and an indescribable bitterness and sorrow appeared on her face.

She slowly lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Ah...it's a long story."
