If this was an ordinary war, he would have lost this one completely.

How could they fight on with a thousand men left?

“A thousand people?” Zhou Shu frowned. A thousand people was indeed too few.

“Big Brother, can your thousand people face the Demon Realm army alone?”

Mi Ziwen was stunned. If his sworn brother wasn’t the one asking this question, he would have thought he was being provocative.

If they could face the Demon Realm army alone, would they have fallen to such a state?

At the same cultivation level, humans were weaker than demonic beasts. Unless they were equipped with powerful weapons, it was difficult for them to fight one-on-one.

One against ten, the reverse was more like it.

“It’s impossible.” Mi Ziwen shook his head. “Unless everyone is equipped with a heaven-grade weapon.”

How was that possible?

Even Mi Ziwen didn’t have a heaven-grade weapon. How could an ordinary soldier be equipped with a heaven-grade weapon?

“There are no heaven-grade weapons,” Zhou Shu said. “What do you think about earth-grade weapons?”

Mi Ziwen paused, puzzled. “What do you mean?”

For a moment, he didn’t understand what Zhou Shu meant.

“Big Brother, if the thousand people under you are all equipped with earth-grade weapons, are you confident that you can lead them to fight one against ten?

“The premise is that the other party doesn’t have a first-rank martial artist in their army.”

Mi Ziwen looked at Zhou Shu and fell silent.

After a long time, he confirmed that Zhou Shu wasn’t joking, so he thought carefully.

“All I can say is that there is hope, but I can’t say for certain that it can be done,” Mi Ziwen said solemnly.

On the battlefield, the situation could change rapidly. Even his teacher, Meng Bai, wouldn’t promise that he could definitely do it.

But if everyone was really equipped with earth-grade weapons, he was still very confident that he could fight one against ten.

Zhou Shu was disappointed to hear Mi Ziwen say this.

He wasn’t very good at leading troops to war. He originally thought that if all 1,000 people wore the Dark Cloud Armor and defeated Yao Qing, he could take in another group of demonic beast miners. That would be perfect.

“Second Brother, let’s not think too much. How can all thousand people be equipped with earth-grade weapons?” Mi Ziwen said.

“Although the Demon Realm army is powerful, the army of Great Xia is not to be trifled with either. This time, if the other party didn’t have five first-rank martial artists holding the line, we wouldn’t have been defeated so badly.

“Teacher has many first-rank martial artists with him. He must still have most of his strength. As long as we meet up with Teacher’s army, we might be able to fight the Demon Realm army!”

Great Xia was not Great Liang!

Over the years, although Great Xia’s strength had declined and was not considered in the first tier among the ten nations, it was still much stronger than Great Liang.

“We still don’t know where Great General Meng is.”

Time waited for no man. Perhaps by the time they found General Meng, Yao Qing’s reinforcements would have arrived.

At that time, it wouldn’t be so easy to completely subdue them and make them into demonic beast miners.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s get to the camp first.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Big Brother, let me tell you. I spent a lot of effort on this camp…”

…

He had taken a quarter of an hour to go to them, but it had taken them three days to return!

This was the result of everyone traveling day and night despite their injuries.

Otherwise, even if they traveled for ten days, they might not even be able to cover 250 kilometers.

Along the way, Mi Ziwen wondered what the camp Zhou Shu mentioned looked like.

But when he saw the dozens of feet tall walls of the camp, the shock in Mi Ziwen’s heart could not be concealed.

“Second Brother, is this the camp you mentioned?”

The walls were dozens of feet high and hundreds of feet long, surrounding a small mountain.

How was this a camp? This was clearly a small city.

Mi Ziwen really couldn’t understand how his second brother had built such a camp in such a short time.

“This is?”

He realized that the wall was not made of stone but a layer of steel!

This made him even more shocked. Where did his second brother get so much iron from?

Even in the outside world, no country was so extravagant as to use steel to build city walls!

Mi Ziwen wasn’t the only one. Everyone else was really shocked by the steel walls in front of them.

Yang Hong opened his mouth. His Highness’s ability is really getting stronger and stronger.

For some reason, he felt a little flustered.

Shouldn’t it be safe once we reach the camp?

He felt a little strange and involuntarily tightened his grip on the hilt of his Mo Mei Sword. Only then did he feel a little safer.

“Big Brother, everyone, welcome to the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch. We’re home.” Zhou Shu smiled.

On the other side, Yin Wuyou and Haitang had already opened the camp gate.

Zhou Shu gestured for them to enter the camp first.

In three days, his weakened state had passed. Nothing had happened to the camp, which made him feel good.

Mi Ziwen was filled with doubts as he followed Zhou Shu into the camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, Mi Ziwen’s expression changed.

“Full alert! Prepare for battle!” Mi Ziwen drew his sword with a clang, and his aura soared.

Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou turned around in shock.

“Big Brother, what are you doing?”

“Second Brother, Your Highness, there are demonic beasts ahead! Retreat quickly! I’ll block them!” Mi Ziwen said anxiously.

He still didn’t know that Zhou Shu had completely recovered.

“You mean them, Big Brother?” Zhou Shu couldn’t help laughing. He pointed at the distant demonic beast miners and said with a smile, “Big Brother, don’t be nervous. They’re not enemies.”

“That’s not right. They’re enemies.”

“Um, they’re my miners. Captives. No real threat,” Zhou Shu explained.

“Miners? Captives?” Mi Ziwen looked puzzled. He saw that the demonic beasts in the distance didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking them. Instead, they came and went in the mountains, carrying some things.

Mi Ziwen was completely confused.

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?

Am I seeing wrongly?

Demonic beasts can become miners?

Yin Wuyou chuckled inwardly when she saw Mi Ziwen’s expression.

When she saw the demonic beasts as miners, she had a similar reaction.

But Zhou Shu had done something impossible!

Yin Wuyou felt a little proud.

“I-is that really alright, Second Brother?” Mi Ziwen looked at the hundreds of demonic beasts and felt a little overwhelmed.

There were hundreds of demonic beasts. In their half-crippled state, if there was really a conflict, they would most likely lose.

“No problem.” Zhou Shu smiled. “There were only the four of us in the camp before. They didn’t dare to rebel, let alone now, Big Brother.”

Yao Buqi rolled his eyes in his heart in the corner when he heard Zhou Shu’s words.

Am I afraid to escape because I’m outnumbered?

If not for you, I can kill all these hundreds of people alone!

Mi Ziwen felt his worldview crumbling.

The four of them enslaved hundreds of demonic beasts and built a small city-like camp in a short period of time.

If anyone had told him such a thing before, he would never have believed it.

But now, with the truth before him, he had no choice but to believe it.

“Sir Mi, long time no see.” Shi Songtao appeared in front of Mi Ziwen in his Dark Cloud Armor. He cupped his hands and spoke with a reserved smile.

He and Mi Ziwen were old acquaintances.

Mi Ziwen’s reaction greatly satisfied Shi Songtao’s vanity. It was rare for Mi Ziwen to feel shocked.

And all of this was thanks to him, Shi Songtao!

“It’s been a long time,” Mi Ziwen said a little self-consciously.

He was still coming to terms with the situation at this camp.

“Big Brother.”

Mi Ziwen heard Zhou Shu speak.

“What do you think of the Dark Cloud Armor on Deputy Master Shi? If I give you a thousand sets of the Dark Cloud Armor, can you defeat the demonic beast army outside?”
