Dos Grassland, Tianyue Mountain, and Tianshui City.
Xu Chu, wielding the "Pangu's Axe," slowly circled Lin Mo, forcing him to turn around. "Raise your shield," he said. "You idiot, I told you to raise your shield, why are you raising your sword?"
"What? You think you can withstand a blow from Old Xu's axe with that little frame?"
"This is the third time!" Lin Mo thought to himself, "This is the third time he's called me an idiot."
"So what if I scold you?" Xu Chu showed no remorse. "My lord, you asked me to practice with you. So at this moment, I am your master."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. What's wrong with a father scolding his son?"
These soul-searching remarks left Lin Mo completely bewildered.
"Damn it, are you pushing your luck?!" Lin Mo roared.
"Stop talking nonsense, here it comes!" Xu Chu roared, "Lift it up now." He stepped forward and slashed.
Lin Mo raised his shield just in time, using the edge to block the axe, and then counterattacked Xu Chu's ribs.
"Well done!" Xu Chu praised after feeling the force on his axe. "That's good. But you can press your body down on it more."
Using body weight as a shield for the longsword, rather than just the arm, will allow you to inflict greater damage.
Come on, try again. Attack me, and remember to keep your shield up at all times, or don't blame me for using your head as a wooden fish to beat...
"Who the hell is the lord here?!" Lin Mo exclaimed anxiously.
Xu Chu didn't answer, but instead swung his axe fiercely, aiming for Lin Mo's head.
In a moment of desperation, Lin Mo hurriedly raised his shield.
Just like hundreds of times before, Xu Chu's axe stopped when it was only half a centimeter away from Lin Mo's head. "My lord, again, again!"
"That's enough for today!" Lin Mo took a step back and put down his shield.
From dawn until midday, he had been practicing with Xu Chu for the entire morning.
"Very well!" Xu Chu said, "My lord, you have made rapid progress!"
Given Xu Chu's personality, he would never lie.
Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.
"Then tell me, at my current training speed, when will I be able to defeat the assassins from Xuanhua Palace?"
"At least two years!" Xu Chu answered truthfully.
"Two years?" Lin Mo didn't know whether to be happy or sad after hearing this.
To be honest, being able to defeat a top-tier expert of the Great Xia Dynasty after only two years of martial arts training is a remarkably fast pace.
But two years is too long!
He Xiao will definitely be able to save Guo Wenlong's wife and daughter in less than two years.
If possible, Lin Mo would prefer to defeat He Xiao with his own strength!
I glanced at the system subconsciously and realized that Tyrant Mode had been activated for more than thirteen days.
Currently, one "Nightmare Rider" can be obtained for free, but Lin Mo is not in a hurry to redeem it.
The reason is simple: if they are exchanged, they still need to be fed rice, given clothes, and provided with accommodation.
The stronger one's abilities, the greater one's appetite.
The amount of food needed to feed Xu Chu is almost more than that needed for three of his senior brothers.
Of course, Lin Mo wasn't stingy with the money for food.
The most important reason is that Lin Mo has three experiences of defeating enemies by directly attacking soldiers face-to-face.
If we were to redeem the "Nightmare Cavalry" now, it would inevitably alert those damned assassins from Xuanhua Palace.
I am in the open, while the enemy is in the dark; this is disadvantageous for Lin Mo.
However, if you store the "Nightmare Cavalry" in the system, you don't need to feed them rice, you don't need to clothe them, and you can even use them to attack them face-to-face during battle, giving your opponent a big surprise!
Isn't that wonderful?
"Guangxiao, the men I sent out should have arrived in Xichuan City by now!"
"They should have arrived by now!" Yao Guangxiao said. "The news of the complete annihilation of 500,000 enemy troops has probably already spread!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a mix of emotions. "What kind of waves will this create in Shu?"
~~~
At this time, in Xichuan City.
A large cavalry force surged into the gates of Xichuan City.
The leading general waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him immediately stopped.
All eyes were on him, and the surrounding noise gradually subsided.
Soon after, a deafening voice rang out: "Your Highness the King of Shu, leading the soldiers of Shu, have annihilated the entire main force of the Dos people, numbering 500,000!"
From this day forward, the land of Shu will be free from further turmoil! The land of Shu will usher in hundreds of years of peace!
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar.
It was as if the breath that had been held back was finally exhaled, as if the poison of "despair" was finally extracted, as if the endless wait had finally come to an end.
Soon after, news of Lin Mo's annihilation of Dos's main force and the destruction of the rebel Li Liang's Chiyan Army spread throughout the entire Shu region.
Upon hearing this news, the people of Shu were overjoyed that the Dos people, who had been causing havoc in Shu, had finally been wiped out. They no longer had to worry about them entering the country to burn, kill, and plunder. Peaceful days had finally arrived.
But amidst this joy, there was also an overwhelming anger.
The Crimson Flame Army, a renowned army of the Great Xia Dynasty, actually colluded with the Dos people to attack the King of Shu.
This shows that there are treacherous officials in the imperial court.
With treacherous officials in power, deceiving the emperor, and harboring evil intentions, there will never be peace!
This news was like a pebble thrown into water, creating ripples, while beneath the surface, turbulent undercurrents were already surging.
When the wicked monk Yao Guangxiao governed the Shu region, he constantly gave political lessons to the people of his fiefdom.
By this time, the people of Shu had long been brainwashed by the evil monk.
And so, a term began to circulate in the Shu region.
That's something you can hear and know by heart: purging the court of corrupt officials!
"Clearing the emperor's inner circle" means helping the emperor get rid of the bad people around him. So who are these bad people?
