Warlords: Rise of the System

Lu Yunfeng's face was full of anxiety, and she asked hurriedly, "Second Aunt, where did they go?" Her beautiful eyes were full of worry and uneasiness.

Ma Guilan looked solemn and said slowly, "It has been really uneasy during this period!

The warlords' troops were like crazy, collecting food and conscripting able-bodied men everywhere.

Many villages were in turmoil and the people were in panic.

The young and middle-aged men in the village were all terrified, fearing that they would be captured, so they fled into the depths of the mountains and hid.

But who would have thought that this group of inhuman military ruffians, after failing to capture able-bodied men, would become even more brutal and start wreaking havoc on villages, burning, killing, looting and committing all sorts of atrocities.

Sigh..." Speaking of this, Ma Guilan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with endless grief and helplessness in her eyes.

"That's why, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, everyone else has fled to the mountains."

Lu Yunjiao blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Second Aunt, why didn't you run away with them?"

Ma Guilan sighed deeply and said with a bitter face, "Alas, I am also unlucky!

At this critical juncture, I accidentally caught a cold and became so weak that I could not even walk a few steps, so how could I run?

There is no choice but to stay and leave it to fate."

Lu Tianhao, who had been silent all this time, interrupted and said, "It's a good thing you stayed, Aunt, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find you!"

A smile of relief appeared on his face.

"Aunt, do you know which mountain my uncle and the others escaped to?" Lu Tianhao asked anxiously.

Ma Guilan looked depressed and said slowly, "The villagers have all fled to the largest mountain here.

This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with steep terrain and dense forests!

Once people go into the mountains, it will be extremely difficult for the warlords' troops to find them!

If it weren't for the protection of this mountain, they would have fallen into the clutches of the warlords long ago."

After listening to Ma Guilan's description, Lu Tianhao frowned tightly, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said worriedly.

"Second Aunt, if you say so, this place is so vast, if we go looking for them, wouldn't it be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack?"

After hearing this, Ma Guilan looked even more worried and couldn't help but sigh, "Who said it wasn't true?

I am also feeling very nervous now. I really don’t know if they will encounter any danger after entering this mountain.

Moreover, they fled in a hurry and did not bring much food with them. They might be starving and freezing now..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red and her voice began to tremble slightly.

Lu Yunfeng gently patted Ma Guilan's slightly trembling back and comforted her softly.

"Second Aunt, don't worry too much. We will immediately send troops in to search for their whereabouts carefully."

Hearing this, Ma Guilan seemed to wake up from a dream and finally came to her senses.

She looked at Lu Yunfeng, Lu Yunjiao and Lu Tianhao with confusion on her face and asked with a slightly trembling voice.

"Haowazi, Erniu, and Sanniu, when did you become generals capable of leading troops into battle?"

Lu Yunfeng raised her chin, her face filled with pride and pride, and said loudly, "Second Aunt, I'm afraid you don't know yet?

Big brother is now the commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army!

This National Salvation Army was founded by my eldest brother.

And now, our army is huge, with more than 100 million troops!

Not only that, our National Salvation Army is brave and good at fighting. We have been unstoppable all the way and have successfully captured six or seven provinces!

Our National Salvation Army is so powerful!"

Ma Guilan was stunned when she heard this. She had heard of the word "Marshal" before and knew that it was the supreme commander of the warlord's army.

At this moment, she widened her eyes, stared at Lu Tianhao with an unbelievable look, and asked anxiously.

"Haowazi, are the things Sanniu said true?"

Lu Tianhao smiled slightly, and replied calmly and firmly: "Second Aunt, Yunfeng is right, the National Salvation Army still has some strength now."

Ma Guilan was so excited that she was shaking all over. She kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands. For a moment, she didn't know how to express her inner joy.

"Good! Good! Good! Our Lu family has really produced a dragon!" She smiled from ear to ear, her eyes full of pride and pride.

At this moment, Ma Guilan seemed to suddenly think of something. The smile on her face froze instantly, and she asked anxiously, "Where are your parents and your sixth brother and seventh sister? Why can't we see them?"

Hearing this, the faces of the three Lu siblings immediately became gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds.

Lu Yunjiao bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a low and sad voice, "Our parents and our sixth brother and seventh sister...

They, they were all brutally murdered by those heartless bandits." After saying this, she could no longer hold back her tears.

The originally lively and cheerful scene suddenly fell into deathly silence because of this sentence.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with anger and sadness.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only Lu Yunjiao's low sobs echoing in the air.

It took a long time for everyone to recover from this sudden bad news.

Lu Tianhao took a deep breath, suppressed his grief, and commanded his soldiers to act in an orderly manner.

They went door to door to deliver relief to the villagers, not only distributing some life-saving food, but also many commonly used supplies in life.

The villagers were moved to tears and expressed their gratitude to these brave soldiers.

Lu Tianhao originally planned to find his second uncle and the others before returning to the Marshal's Mansion, but plans often cannot keep up with changes.

Just then, an urgent telegram came from the Marshal's Mansion.

It turned out that the combined fleet of the great powers had already revealed its whereabouts, and the second naval battle between the two sides was about to break out.

As the undisputed soul of the National Salvation Army, how could he be absent from such a massive war?

Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng were extremely determined and said they would stay here no matter what. They would not return until they successfully found their second uncle, fourth brother, and fifth sister.

Faced with the two's persistence, Lu Tianhao knew that he could not change their minds by force, so he stopped forcing them.

He generously left an astonishing amount of weapons and equipment and mountains of food supplies for the two sisters.

These weapons and equipment are dazzling and diverse, ranging from advanced firearms to heavy artillery, and there are also many tanks and armored vehicles.

It was large enough to arm a huge army of up to 50 people.

That batch of food supplies was even more spectacular, with a complete variety and abundant reserves, enough to meet the living needs of two to three million people for a full six months.

Not only that, Lu Tianhao also specially left behind a large number of training cabins.

It aims to help Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng recruit new soldiers on a large scale here and provide them with professional and efficient military training.

With these sufficient resources and equipment support, I believe we will be able to build an elite team soon.

Lu Tianhao also issued important instructions to the troops stationed in the pass, requiring them to quickly dispatch half of their forces to be responsible for protecting the safety of Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yunfeng.

After all matters were arranged in an orderly and foolproof manner, Lu Tianhao then confidently led the soldiers of the guard regiment and hurriedly embarked on a new journey.
