Back in Java, let alone a hundred people.
Even if a thousand people lose their money, I won't even blink.
They only have themselves to blame for being unlucky, not being as skilled as others, and they deserved to die!
Damn it, looking back now, I was such a heartless guy!
But now, after staying in Shannan Prefecture for so long, sigh, things are really different!
Back in the day, I was a ruthless guy who could kick people's heads around like footballs without batting an eye!
Now, the thought that those hundred-plus brothers might have become fish food makes my heart ache and I feel terrible!
He sighed heavily.
Five months, that's not just a simple five months!
Tu Rong cried out in his heart.
These past five months have been more exciting than the past twenty-odd years of my life!
I used to only know about fighting and killing, but now I realize that...
Life can be so interesting!
Tu Rong recalled the hardships she endured with the new recruits, the training they did together, and the meals they shared.
In short, we did a lot of things together that we never dared to imagine before!
I used to think that human life was worthless, but now I realize that everyone is unique and precious to their parents!
This Shannan Prefecture is truly bizarre! They actually managed to transform me, a ruthless killer, into what I am now…
Uh, a loving peacekeeper!
Tu Rong secretly glanced at Lu Yan and found that Lord Lu was looking at her with a look of satisfaction.
He became even more certain that all of this was thanks to Lord Lu!
People-centered! I'd never even heard of those four words before, but now they're etched into my mind, impossible to shake off!
In Shannan Prefecture, all military units are called guards.
And they share another common name: People's Liberation Army soldiers!
"Don't worry, the families of our fallen brothers will certainly not be mistreated."
Lu Yan patted Tu Rong on the shoulder.
"Go down and get some rest. I've prepared a sumptuous meal for you."
"Yes, Commander."
Tu Rong nodded, then led his men away.
Watching their departing figures, Lu Yan felt much more at ease.
The collapse of the Haixia Pass dam caused limited damage to Java.
But at least it can delay them for a while.
"Sir, this rain that keeps falling isn't going to work."
Li Kui rubbed his hands together and complained.
"I feel like I'm about to get moldy."
Lu Yan glanced at him:
"If you're bored, go help in the kitchen. I heard there's braised pork, your favorite, tonight."
"Hehe, I'm going right now!"
Upon hearing that there was braised pork, Li Kui immediately perked up and dashed towards the kitchen.
Watching Li Kui's retreating figure, Lu Yan shook his head helplessly.
This guy has no hobbies other than eating and fighting.
The rain was still falling, a steady drizzle, seemingly without end.
Lu Yan stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Meanwhile, in Java, at Haixia Pass.
Jin Xuanming stood in front of the embankment, which had been ravaged by the rain and was unrecognizable, his face terribly gloomy.
The breach in the dam was enormous, swallowing everything around it.
The turbid river roared and rushed down, completely submerging the villages and fields downstream.
"Damn it!"
Jin Xuanming punched a rock next to him, but the rock didn't budge, though his hand throbbed with pain.
Even the heaviest rainstorm wouldn't cause such massive damage.
"Go! Send men to search upstream along the river for any clues!"
Jin Xuanming gave instructions to his subordinates.
"We must find out whether this was done by someone!"
At the same time, the campaign to conscript civilians to plug the breach also began.
The Javanese soldiers were like a pack of ferocious jackals.
They went door-to-door arresting people and driving them to the breached dam.
The people were full of complaints, yet they were helpless.
They were ragged, emaciated, and trembling under the soldiers' whips.
"You damned Javanese dog! May you die a horrible death!"
An old man muttered curses under his breath, but dared not say them aloud.
"Mom, I'm hungry..." a child said weakly, tugging at his mother's clothes.
"Shh! My dear child, don't speak." The mother hugged her child tightly, her eyes filled with despair.
In Shannan Prefecture, Lu Yan received news that Jin Xuanming was forcibly conscripting people to plug the breached dam.
"My lord, this is a golden opportunity!"
Li Kui rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Let's take advantage of their confusion, charge in, and wipe them out without leaving a single survivor!"
"Xiao Kui, calm down."
Lu Yan waved his hand.
"Jin Xuanming is eager for quick success and will inevitably relax his control over the conscription of people."
"These forced people were also dissatisfied with Javanese rule, making it a good time to instigate a rebellion."
Lu Yan immediately summoned generals such as Tu Rong, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, and Han Sheng to discuss countermeasures.
"My plan is to send people to infiltrate these people and incite them to rebel against Java, and then, with the help of others, to deal a heavy blow to the Java army."
"Let's leave this task to Night Owl."
Lu Yan looked at Night Owl.
“You select a group of elite soldiers, disguise them as ordinary civilians, and have them follow the conscripted troops to the site of the dam breach.”
"Remember, your mission is not to directly fight the Javanese army, but to turn the people against their will and create chaos."
Lu Yan gave detailed instructions.
After receiving the order, Night Owl immediately summoned his ten most capable night watchmen.
These night scouts are all seasoned veterans, skilled in camouflage, infiltration, reconnaissance, and other techniques.
