#1404 - Chapter 1404 How Can the War End?
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
Accompanied by six loud noises originating from cannon fire, Zhang Zhao (Chapter 1270) was startled awake from the darkness of the basement.
His first reaction upon waking up was to reach out and touch the other side of the bed.
His sister!
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Zhao's sister, who had been shaken awake by him, asked with a bewildered expression.
Zhang Zhao quickly reached out and covered his sister's mouth, whispering.
"Shhh!"
"I just heard cannon fire!"
"The sound is very close to us!"
"I suspect the rebels are attacking!"
Sure enough, as Zhang Zhao spoke.
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
Another six cannon shots rang out.
The sound of the cannon fire instantly made Zhang Zhao nervous.
He quickly gripped the gun beside the bed, aiming the muzzle at the dark doorway to prevent rebels from breaking in.
Since he had met Wu Wei and obtained many military supplies from the soldiers Wu Wei had killed, he had been doing well during this time.
His sister was able to continue her schooling.
And he had a stable life.
So when he felt that his hideout might be invaded, his first reaction was to take out the weapon in his hand to protect his difficult but peaceful life.
But before he could continue to do anything, his expression suddenly became dazed.
Because after the cannon fire, the sound he could hear actually turned into....
Cheers?!
What on earth is happening on the ground?
----------------------------
After Zhang Zhao settled his sister down, he immediately climbed to the ground.
And on the ground, he received a series of messages.
These messages were more explosive than the last.
"The empire's civil war is over!"
"The army of the criminal prince Shi Yuan has collapsed!"
"He himself has been captured!"
"His Majesty the Emperor has issued a new edict, stating that a new emperor will be elected tomorrow."
"Your Majesty Shi Ren!"
----------------------------------
Zhang Zhao was stunned by this information that overwhelmed his mind.
At first, he thought he was dreaming.
But when he saw the important figures who were usually never seen in Linjiang City, had all come into the crowd to cheer with the people, he knew that he was not dreaming.
This is real!
In just an instant, tears broke through the defenses of Zhang Zhao's eyes.
The war is over!
This hellish decade is finally over!
Peace.
Is finally coming to their side.
----------------------------------
Huff!
Huff!
Zhang Zhao, whose eyes were gradually blurred by tears, ran quickly towards that sacred tombstone.
"It's him!"
"He must have done it!"
Zhang Zhao was unusually firm.
He will always remember the words that the mad lord named Wu Wei said to him that night.
He said he was here to end this war!
And he will definitely end this war!
It was because of the words of this mad lord that Zhang Zhao had the motivation to continue living.
And he also kept in mind the task that this mad lord had arranged for him, that is, to clean the sacred tombstone from time to time.
Even, in many cases, he regarded this matter as a sacred thing.
Because in his opinion, this madman is the greatest hope to end all this war!
He must express his gratitude to him in person!
With this thought, Zhang Zhao ran to the vicinity of the sacred tombstone.
------------------
Sure enough, a tall, indifferent, dark figure was standing in front of the sacred tombstone!
"....."
And when Zhang Zhao came here, the other party did not hesitate to turn his head and look at him with those scarlet eyes.
Just like last time.
As a mortal, Zhang Zhao knelt down directly in the moment he looked at those eyes.
This kind of super-level suppression is not something he can handle at all.
Even if the one opposite Zhang Zhao has not become a god.
"You're here?"
However.
This time, Wu Wei seemed to be in a good mood.
He just glanced at Zhang Zhao, a child, and put his eyes back on the portrait of his adoptive mother.
His eyes were full of reflections of this woman.
It was as if she was his whole world.
--------------------------------
Yes.... yes!"
"I'm here to thank you!"
After Zhang Zhao got up, he gave Wu Wei a salute directly.
Although his salute was weird and not standard.
However, his behavior still made Wu Wei pay more attention to him for a moment.
"Thank... thank?"
The demon-like Wu Wei slowly turned his head.
"Why?"
"Because you ended this war!"
"You are so amazing, as a mad lord, you can end the empire's civil war so quickly after returning, and bring us peace!"
"I, I thank you with my sister."
"She, as the future lord, her biggest dream is to become a mythological figure like you."
Hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Wu Wei finally understood.
"War?"
"End?"
"Haha."
"Hahahahahaha!"
Suddenly, Zhang Zhao was horrified to find that the mad lord in front of him didn't know why he was laughing.
Moreover, the laughter of this mad lord was becoming more and more presumptuous as time went by.
Zhang Zhao, who was at a loss, suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
This ominous premonition gave him a guess.
A terrible guess.
He asked tremblingly.
"That...."
"Mad lord, isn't it you..."
"Did you end this war?"
"Of course not."
Wu Wei, who had stopped laughing, slowly stood up from the tombstone.
However, although he had stopped smiling at this time, there was an extremely cruel smile on his face.
The black and red vortex accompanied Wu Wei's will and set foot in this world.
Its black and red shadow shone on the woman's face on the tombstone.
This is her revenge.
Similarly, this is also his revenge!
"Now, it's far from over!"
"It's not even the beginning of the end!"
"Because this moment is the end of the beginning!"
----------------------------------
"How could the war...... possibly end?"
