"Wang Xian, have you arrived at Bird Return Ridge?" The aged voice of the Unyielding God came through the earpiece.
“Yes, there’s something I need to tell you.” Wang Yao whispered to the Unyielding God Lord about Lü Bu’s plan to betray him and defect to the enemy.
"It's not unexpected. I had already figured out that the kid surnamed Lü wasn't very decent, so I deployed troops to keep him here. Fortunately, he didn't go directly to the Demon Realm, so at least he's not completely brain-dead." The Unyielding God Lord seemed to have anticipated this.
Upon hearing the words of the Unyielding God, Wang Yao almost burst into a tirade of curses. "You old bastard, you know Lü Bu is untrustworthy and you don't dare use him yourself, so you just dump him on me? What the hell do you take me for? A tool to test traitors for you?"
"However, Lu Bu's fighting prowess is undeniable. When he really gets angry, he can rival even ordinary demon lords. Don't worry, although this kid is fickle and has served under several god lords, he only stayed with me when he had nowhere else to go. So it's normal for him to have the idea of joining the demon realm."
"But he has one redeeming quality: he's incredibly greedy and lustful. If you don't offer him enough money or women, he won't easily surrender. If you keep an eye on that, you can keep him firmly under control. Don't forget what I said, this kid is quite a fighter."
Sensing Wang Yao's emotional fluctuations, the Unyielding God immediately added a supplementary statement.
"Hey! From what you're saying, you still want to leave him here? Aren't you going to come and do something about it?" Wang Yao realized that the Unyielding God didn't intend to come to Bird Return Ridge, and he immediately forgot his anger and hurriedly called out.
"I'm sorry, but my demon foes are attacking so fiercely that I really can't spare any manpower to deal with him. You'll have to make do with this for now. As soon as the pressure here eases up, I, the God Lord, will personally go to Bird Return Ridge to capture that Mr. Lü for you, okay?" The Unyielding God Lord indeed declined.
"Hey! What do you mean? Are you condoning a traitor? How can you be a god? What do you mean by 'capture for me'? Aren't you just planting a time bomb here? Aren't you afraid that if Bird Returns to Ridge gets lost, your Unyielding Divine Realm won't be able to withstand it..." Wang Yao shouted anxiously.
"Keep your voice down, don't let that guy surnamed Lü hear! I'm very busy here. During the great war, I, the God Lord, have no time to deal with trivial matters. Please forgive me, Lord of the Moon!" The Unyielding God Lord suddenly interrupted Wang Yao's questioning in a deep voice on the other end, and ended the call after a few hasty words.
Wang Yao stood there blankly for a long time, and for a moment he just wanted to leave. How could this be? Wasn't this blatantly cheating the immortals? Who the hell had he offended? He only had five men under his command, and one of them was determined to betray him. How was he supposed to defend Bird Return Ridge?
He figured he should get Wei Zheng to agree to run away with him. With the Unyielding God's attitude, even if the divine realm was destroyed, it wouldn't concern Wang Yao at all. A small matter? He could just hang up his boots and leave!
Just as he was feeling indignant, Lü Bu came running to find Wang Yao with a bright smile on his face.
"Oh dear, Lord Yue Lao, what brings you here? I've just set up some defenses and come specifically to invite you to inspect them," Lu Bu said with a smile.
Wang Yao followed him to the city wall in a daze. There, they saw a giant bow and several quivers leaning against each crenellation. The warriors, at the God of War level, were still running around, distributing full quivers to each giant bow.
"What...do you mean?"
Wang Yao stared in astonishment at these extremely crude so-called arrangements, his heart filled with doubt. He had seen the divine bows used by the army of the gods in battle. Those bows had to be drawn and placed on the ground before they could be used, and each bow required at least five or six primordial gods or war gods to control.
They only have one war god here, so it's a waste to have the only five people in the fortress control a single bow. After all, the divine bow only fires one shot at a time, and a single bow is useless against a surging army. Therefore, Wang Yao couldn't understand what Lu Bu was thinking at all.
"This is what I think: If the demons attack from different directions, it will be easy to deal with them. We can defend them separately. But if the demons swarm in, the front of Bird Return Ridge is too wide, and it will be difficult for us to cover everything."
"Fortunately, when the garrison was transferred, they left behind a lot of equipment. So I came up with this idea: when the demons attack, I will first mark a boundary line in my field of vision..." Lu Bu said, pointing to the world outside the city wall.
It was already evening, and the setting sun had painted the sky red. The area around Bird Return Ridge was peaceful and serene, making it hard to believe that a great battle was about to take place here.
"Then I ran back and forth on this city wall, shooting at the demon army that crossed the boundary. I estimated that, assuming the demons don't send out their top-tier demons, as long as I have enough arrows, I can hold the line by myself and show them my strength," Lu Bu said with a smile.
As Wang Yao listened to what Lü Bu said, he looked at the bows and arrows on the ground, then glanced at Lü Bu, whose face radiated confidence, and then looked at the long city wall and the vast wilderness beyond Bird Return Ridge. The scene of the great battle couldn't help but appear in his mind.
The demons surged in like a tidal wave, covering the mountains and plains, while Lu Bu was running rapidly on the city wall. He suddenly stopped abruptly, calmly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and then shot it. Even if someone like Gongsun Sheng could kill two, three, or ten birds with one arrow, it wouldn't work!
To interrupt a wave of demonic attacks from one direction, even temporarily, Lu Bu couldn't just fire a single arrow; he would have to unleash an area-of-effect attack like a Katyusha rocket launcher. Otherwise, it would all be nonsense!
