Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 469 Consequences

Chapter 469 - Consequences

Li Feihong took the hit from Zhang Fei to save Wei You's life. He increased his aura output and reinforced his injured flesh and muscles.

The spear lodged in Li Feihong's flesh, and Zhang Fei could not pull it out.

"Let go, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

Another hand of Li Feihong pointed at Zhang Fei. Li Feihong mimicked Tong's tactic in the battle against Huangfu Song and others.

He activated his inventory skill and released burning oil on Zhang Fei's face.

*ZAAAA*

No matter if Zhang Fei's aura protected him from harm, the temperature of the oil still burnt his skin.

"AAAARRRRGGGHHH!"

That was not all. Li Feihong summoned a weapon that Medusa created for him.

A magnum pistol appeared, and the hand that had just released hot oil grasped it. After pointing at Zhang Fei's head, Li Feihong pulled the trigger.

*BANG*

Zhang Fei felt as if he had a déjà vu. However, this time, he failed to react, and a bullet punctured his brain.

Li Feihong followed the double-tab rule, pulling the trigger three more times and aimed at Zhang Fei's left chest.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

The chain of events was too sudden that Guan Yu could not react. By the time he regained his senses, Zhang Fei's body already collapsed into a pool of his blood.

"YIDEE!!!" Guan Yu screamed in shock. He tried to chase after Li Feihong and Zhang Liao, who was migrating all bodyguards into the portals.

But the hand with a gun pointed at Guan Yu.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

"Ugh!"

Guan Yu took leaned backward and leaped to the side. After dodging the bullets, he turned around to revenge for his brother.

Another gun appeared on Li Feihong's hand. As for the old one, it ran out of bullets.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Li Feihong kept shooting, suppressing Guan Yu as Zhang Liao escorted all soldiers out of this area.

"Don't get c.o.c.ky!"

Guan Yu roared and covered his entire body with his aura.

*d.i.n.k*

*d.i.n.k*

*d.i.n.k*

Upon sh.e.l.l touching Guan Yu's skin, they ricocheted and failed to harm him.

Guan Yu dashed toward Li Feihong, ignoring all bullets.

"Yikes."

Li Feihong closed his portal. When Guan Yu reached his previous location, he only grasped nothing but air.

Meanwhile, Zhang Liao finished evacuating all personal. His gate also closed.

Mission had been completed. Li Feihong's a.s.sa.s.sination technique was a success.

At first, Li Feihong did not want to do this since he only wanted Hongnong City for his little city-building game in real life, but Zhang Fei's action was unforgivable.

Killing a messenger was a heresy, and Zhang Fei attempted to kill Wei You, whom Tong respected as his private butler.

Thus, Zhang Fei had to die!

Li Feihong's action was without Tong's authorization, but he did not care.

Still, he reported this to Tong nonetheless.

.

.

Li Feihong: "Tong, bad news."

Tong: "Yeah?"

Li Feihong: "Please don't get mad, alright?"

Tong: "Yeah? What's up? Something happened?"

Li Feihong: "I killed Zhang Fei."

Tong: "…"

Li Feihong: "Zhang Fei tried to kill Wei You, so I gave him a hand, but I killed Zhang Fei in the process."

Tong; "…"

Li Feihong: "I'm sorry. I think I've ruined our chance to convert Liu Bei to our side."

Tong: "Is that true, Zhang Liao, Wei You?"

Wei You: "Your majesty, Lord Li's words are correct. Guan Yu has rejected your decree, and Zhang Fei attempted to kill me. He saved my life."

Zhang Liao: "I also witnessed the event. Zhang Fei attempted to kill our messenger. That's crossing the line."

Tong: "… Fine. I understand. You've done well escaping from Guan Yu."

Li Feihong: "I'm sorry."

Tong: "Don't be sorry. It bounds to happen sooner or later. You happened to kill him before I do."

Li Feihong: "… Thanks."

Tong: "You're welcome, buddy."

.

.

While Li Feihong was relieved that Tong did not blame him, the latter had a headache.

Tong had prepared that this day would have happened sooner or later, but it was too sudden. He only wanted to intimidate Liu Bei to take a step back, but they were too aggressive. Unlike Cao Cao and Sun Ce, Liu Bei's subordinates did not care about politics or the big picture, which threw off his plan.

'Dealing with idiots is more troublesome than dealing with competent overlords.'

Now that an irreconcilable enmity had been made, it was the time to finish off Liu Bei's forces as soon as possible.

Tong: "Monster Legion, Ghost Legion, Redhare Legion…"

Lu Bu: "What do you want?"

Zhang He: "Yes, your majesty?"

Zhang Liao: "Monster Legion, reporting."

Tong took a deep breath, hesitated to make a big move. He did not know what Zhao Yun, Lu Zhi, Wei Yan, or Zhou Cang would do after he declared war with Liu Bei, but he had no choice.

Tong: "Attack Hongnong with everything you have! Coordinate with each other! I want Hongnong and Chang'An to fall within this year."

Lu Bu: "HAHAHAHA! It's about time to finish that motherf.u.c.ker!"

Zhang Liao: "Affirmative."

Zhang He: "My old battlefields. Leave it to me."

Lu Bu had a deep grudge against Liu Bei in the other life, so he was more than happy to take this job. Zhang He was also familiar with Chang'An region as he used to be a grand commander, who fought in these territories against Zhuge Liang's forces in the other world, so he was pleased to fight in familiar terrains.

As for Zhang Liao, he did not mind working with Lu Bu and Zhang He. Moreover, he used to break out from Chang'An with Lu Bu in the other life, so he was confident in his knowledge of geography.

Moreover, they had 3 elite strategists with them, Xun You, Ju Shou, and the wild card Li Feihong.

No matter how strong Guan Yu and Ma Chao were in this world, they were confident that Liu Bei was not their match.

Ganling City

At this place, three monsters resided under the banners of [White Horse Legion].

Zhao Yun, the white horse gentleman, reigned as the grand commander of the 50,000-man army. His insight and the other life's experience were put to good use as he trained his men personally.

Sima Yi, the ex-pillar of Wei and the grandfather of Sima Yan, the first emperor of Jin in the other world, controlled the army policies with his knowledge and insight.

Wei Yan, a former grand general of Shu, worked as the vice commander of the legion. His expertise in the previous life was useful in training new troops.

The three created a professional army of unique gun knights, who armed with light armors, repeating crossbows, and pistols. None of them was trained to fight in direct combat, but they were elite ambushers and raiders.

Tong designed this legion, mimicking Genghis Khan's Mongol army, which terrorized Asia and East Europe during the 13th century. Instead of using bows, Tong replaced them with his repeating crossbows and Medusa's pistols, so their combat prowess would be stronger than Genghis Khan Army.

Unfortunately, the sudden war against Liu Bei dissatisfied Zhao Yun and Wei Yan. Both of them met and talked to each other in secret.

Wei Yan questioned Zhao Yun directly, "Will you be on Liu Bei's side or Zhang Tong's side after this?"

Zhao Yun grumbled, "None. I won't partic.i.p.ate in their fight."

"Are you sure?"

"Why do you want to know? Are you going to jump s.h.i.+p or what?"

"I'm just asking. I need to know where I am standing."

"What the h.e.l.l? If I said that I'll join Liu Bei, are you going to come with me or something?"

"Hey, I'm just asking. We're both ex-Liu Bei's generals, so we should stick together. You know that most of the emperor's officers were once Cao Cao's men. We just can't talk to them about this."

"You're making it too suspicious. If I were ex-Cao Cao's men, I would have reported this meeting in an instant! Do you want to be executed because of a misunderstanding again?"

"Err, no. Sorry. I just want someone to talk to."

Zhao Yun sighed. Wei Yan was too tactless that always caused a misunderstanding between his subordinates. Without Zhao Yun's a.s.surance and Sima Yi's help, Tong might already have executed him because of false allegations from others.

"You shouldn't visit anyone during this period. Until the war between Zhang Tong and Liu Bei is over, lay low."

"…Can't we talk about who will come out on top? So we can pick the right side-"

"Don't ever mention that. Whoever wins, it doesn't matter. Besides, his majesty mobilized Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Li Feihong together. Their fate is sealed!"

"So, you're on Zhang Tong's side?"

"I'm just… Ugh, you're hopeless," Zhao Yun was tired talking to the clueless general. He wanted to protect this old friend, but his att.i.tude was troublesome, "Let's just say, I'm on his majesty's side. Now, it's my turn. Will you be on his majesty's side or Liu Bei?"

"Err, I'll be wherever you're siding."

Zhao Yun facepalmed, "Are you gay or what?"

"…"

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Guan Yu flew back to Liu Bei's side along with Zhang Fei's dead body.

At the moment, their main forces were camping a kilometer west of Tong Pa.s.s, east of Chang'An, west of Hongnong.

Upon finding out about Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei wailed.

"WHYYYYY!?"

Guan Yu gritted his teeth. It was a mistake on Zhang Fei's part that he attempted to kill Wei You without his consent. Then, Tong's men retaliated and killed Zhang Fei in the process.

It was also his fault for not remaining alert at all times. Had he knelt and accepted the decree, things might have turned differently.

Guan Yu reported everything to Liu Bei and their strategists from the beginning to the end, starting from the detection of a 4-wing angel, the arrival of the envoy, the rejection of Tong's mandate, and the fight.

Liu Bei's eyes were bloodshot as his anger went through the roof. He wanted to order Guan Yu and Ma Chao to attack Tong's lands at once, but he refrained himself.

He glared at Guan Yu as he had another idea.

"Strategist Pang, Strategist Xu."

Pang Tong and Xu Shu bowed to Liu Bei, "Present!"

"I want to send Guan Yu to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhang Tong's generals and civil officers! I need to know where we should send him!"

Pang Tong glanced at Liu Bei, "Do you want revenge, my lord?"

"Of course, I want revenge! I want to see Zhang Tong suffer!"

"Ah, that's simple," Pang Tong giggled, "Send him to kill Ding Yuan in Jinyang first. Then, move east to Ji City and kill any governor you find. Keep moving east and kill every officer in the northern region!"

Guan Yu opened his mouth to protest as he did not like this kind of tactic, but Liu Bei glared at him.

"Go. a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhang Tong's officers. When you're at it, sneak into Julu and kill Zhang Tong's father!"
