Warlords: Rise of the System

After running all night, Lu Tianhao felt sleepy when dawn came.

Looking up, I saw a city wall not far away and a county town in front.

Lu Tianhao decided to go into the city, find an inn, have a good sleep, and then eat and drink his fill before continuing on his journey.

Lu Tianhao walked into the city gate and saw the prosperous and bustling scene in the city.

He found an inn, booked a room, and fell into a deep sleep.

A few hours later, he woke up and it was already afternoon.

Lu Tianhao came downstairs, ordered some wine and food, and enjoyed them slowly.

At this moment, he noticed that the guests at the next table were talking in low voices.

“I heard that many of our coastal cities have been occupied by bandits from Haisang.

Other warlords in our country are still fighting among themselves desperately with the support of other powers.

If they continue to fight like this, aren't they afraid that these bandits will destroy our country?"

"Alas, isn't this all caused by power? Which warlord doesn't want to dominate a region? Who doesn't want to unify the country?

Now it is us ordinary people who are suffering. This warlord comes and demands taxes, and that warlord comes and demands grain.

Our seeds and grains have all been snatched away by these warlords. How are we going to live in the future?"

When Lu Tianhao heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He put down his glass and walked straight towards the table of guests.

"My two brothers, I just heard you talking about state affairs, and I would also like to express my views," said Lu Tianhao.

The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Brother, please take a seat. We are just complaining."

"The country is in crisis now, how can we just sit back and do nothing?" Lu Tianhao said passionately, "Those warlords are sinners against the nation because they ignore the danger of the country for their own selfish desires!"

Another person sighed and said, "We are just ordinary people, what can we do?"

Lu Tianhao said with a firm look, "If everyone thinks like you two, how can the country have hope? Although I am just an ordinary citizen, I am willing to do my part for the rise and fall of the country."

Lu Tianhao stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and said solemnly, "As long as they have the will, everyone can do their best for the country.

I believe that one day, we will be able to drive out the bandits and restore our country!"

The two men were infected by Lu Tianhao's aura and stood up one after another.

"Well said! This brother is really courageous!"

"Yeah, we can't just complain, we have to do something."

At this time, other guests in the inn also gathered around and talked about it.

"My dear fellow, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, we all listen to you!"

Lu Tianhao thought for a moment and said loudly, "The most urgent thing now is to make more people wake up.

We can unite and form an army to fight against the bandits!"

After hearing what Lu Tianhao said, everyone expressed their agreement.

"Okay! We are willing to follow you!"

"Yes! Let's fight against the bandits together!"

Lu Tianhao looked at the excited crowd and felt very excited.

Lu Tianhao didn't expect that his short speech would resonate with so many people.

Although there are only more than 20 people, they are all young and strong. As long as he has enough points, he can train them to become his own direct personnel.

Lu Tianhao lowered his voice and said, "Since you are willing to trust me, I will definitely lead you to conquer a bright and clear world.

As the saying goes, every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. Since you have chosen to follow me, you must obey my arrangements.

There are exactly 24 of you here. I will divide you into two classes, each with 12 people, led by a class monitor.

Now you can form yourselves into two classes and elect yourselves as class monitors.

After we are formed, I will give each of you ten silver dollars as resettlement allowance.

If you can't take care of your own family, how can you manage everyone else?

Take action now. I only give you five minutes to integrate. Can you do it? "

"can!"

In less than five minutes, the two classes were integrated, and the two class leaders elected were Zhang Cheng and Jiao Yajun.

These 20-odd people are all from villages near the county town. They all came to the city to buy and sell some things.

Lu Tianhao personally handed out ten silver dollars to each person.

Lu Tianhao gave them an afternoon to go home and make arrangements.

Everyone will gather here tomorrow morning and then be led to their hometowns.

That night, Lu Tianhao had trouble falling asleep.

He realized that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. Not only did he have to fight against foreign enemies, but he also had to deal with domestic warlords and manage this new team.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the inn on time.

There was a determined light in their eyes, as if they saw hope for the future.

Lu Tianhao was just about to lead them out of the city when he received some news.

The security team in the city wanted to execute more than a dozen students and civilians who were causing trouble. There were four students and more than a dozen civilians who participated in the riot.

It is said that during this riot, these people accidentally beat the county magistrate's son to death.

The county magistrate asked the city’s police and security teams to work together to arrest the dozen or so main troublemakers.

In order to avenge his son, the county magistrate charged these dozen people with many crimes.

This is why tomorrow, these dozen people were executed by firing squad at a mass grave outside the city.

Zhang Cheng and Jiao Yajun were also very familiar with the matter, and they recounted it in detail to Lu Tianhao.

Zhang Cheng sighed and said, "It's a pity for these people. The county magistrate's son is a playboy.

When these four students were causing trouble, the county magistrate's son saw two of the four female students, who looked pure and cute, and actually went up to tease them.

The two male students were certainly unwilling and started to pull the county magistrate's son, and a fight broke out during the pull.

The county magistrate's son was a dissolute young man whose body had long been hollowed out. He died after being beaten a few times.

Seeing that someone was killed, the other rioters dispersed, leaving only these four students behind. "

"Then what happened to those dozen or so troublemakers?" Lu Tianhao asked.

Jiao Yajun replied, "That was revealed under duress. The other rioters, in order to protect themselves, gave away the names of the dozen or so rioters who had taken action."

Lu Tianhao sighed, this is the reality.

Zhang Cheng asked, "Mr. Lu, should we lend a hand and rescue these people tomorrow?"

Lu Tianhao said coldly, "Although we are small in number now, we can be considered a righteous army. The name Mr. Lu is no longer suitable."

Jiao Yajun quickly asked, "Then how should we call you?"

Lu Tianhao pondered for a while and said, "The 20 or so people we have now can only be considered a small team. You can call me captain for now.

Let’s change the name once our team grows bigger and has a resounding name.

Let's go out of the city and find the mass grave they mentioned first, and then decide whether to rescue people tomorrow."
