Chapter 212 Road Selection
Frye is also a noble, but only a baron, and a first-generation grassroots baron.
But he is also a lieutenant general.
A lieutenant general in charge of a large army of 50,000 people has a great reputation in the army of the Crescent Empire.
Now he has to surrender to an earl, a major general with a lower rank than him, and a student who has not even graduated from high school.
Diego felt that if it were him, he would never choose to surrender. Isn't it just death? There is nothing to be afraid of. He would rather die than surrender. He believes that General Frye will do the same.
But Frye soon disappointed him.
The reason is very simple. When Sauron talked about the word death, his tone was as calm as water. He knew very well that it was a disregard for life, so he knew that Sauron really dared to kill him, and he didn't want to die.
He was silent for a moment, and then slowly stood up under the eyes of everyone, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head.
"General!"
"Zoroun, don't go too far!"
"Zoroun, who are you? What qualifications do you have to make the general surrender!"
The six brigadiers behind Frye reacted differently. Some shouted loudly, some had dim eyes and remained silent, and some looked dazed and couldn't believe the scene in front of them.
Lu He didn't think he was too much.
On the contrary, he felt that this was a gift. Not everyone was qualified to be planted with the Distortion Seal by him now.
He wouldn't treat Frye unfairly.
When he was promoted to the realm of Sky Knight, he would thoroughly understand the principles of Sky Knight, and maybe he could help him get promoted.
Too lazy to talk nonsense, Lu He stood up and asked:
"What about you?"
Frye controlled with the Distortion Seal, and Lu He had figured out how to control the others, so he used the Blood and Flesh Curse.
Silence returned to the hall.
The noisy and angry voices disappeared, and the brigadiers looked at each other. They didn't expect that Zoro's appetite was so big. He was not satisfied with forcing Frye to surrender, and he actually wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"I am the Imperial Brigadier General! If you do this, you will be punished by His Majesty, and the parliament will not let you go!"
"Zoro, I can surrender, but do you dare to accept my surrender!?" Anjiade asked with a sneer.
Forcing people to surrender, I don't know what this Zoro is thinking. Isn't he afraid of being kicked out of bed in the middle of the night?
"Ten seconds."
Diego listened to Zoro's voice and felt the impatience in his tone. His heart was alarmed and his body was tense to the extreme.
Ephisis did not hesitate. He was the first to stand up and kneel on one knee to express his surrender.
Fabio was the second.
Seeing these two people surrender first, Fry did not feel much surprise. They were all afraid of death. If they were not afraid of death, they would not have chosen to be a porter for a night the night before.
He was not sure what the remaining four people would choose.
Although the six were his subordinates and they all took him as the leader in the legion, they would not listen to him at this time.
Live on your knees or die standing?
When General Frye faced this choice, Diego thought he would choose to die standing.
Until he looked at Zoro.
Those scarlet eyes made him shudder, and an inexplicable chill rushed from his heart to his head.
He would really die!
A large area of sunlight shone on him from the gate, and he could not feel any temperature, but felt even colder.
"I... surrender."
Diego knelt down slowly, and his long golden hair shone with an especially beautiful light in the sun.
Of the remaining three people, one hesitated, looking like he wanted to kneel but didn't want to kneel, while the other two showed an expression of swearing to die and not surrendering, and the energy in their bodies was slowly gathering.
Lu He chuckled, stood up and walked out the door, and Yerrit followed closely behind him.
"Kill him."
How to tell whether a person is afraid of death or not, Lu He has no good way, the human heart is complicated and in a dynamic state, and cannot be simply screened by the threat of death.
And the human heart is still cunning, and may tactically choose to pretend to be afraid of death to confuse the enemy.
The one still lying on the ground is a good proof.
His method is very simple. He will keep whoever surrenders first, and kill whoever hesitates or refuses to surrender. As long as he can achieve his goal, it will be fine.
Lu He has no shortage of knights.
Under the condition of his full supply of resources, many high-level knight attendants have been born among the knights of the Soros family. He can use the power of distortion to assist them in their promotion to the knight rank.
The reason why these people were forced to surrender was for their status as brigadier generals in the army and their influence in the Xiangmu City Legion.
Now that the legion commander Fry and three brigadier generals have surrendered, it should be enough to control the situation of the legion.
There is no need to spend time to identify the rest.
After leaving the hall, Lu He went straight to the laboratory.
According to his estimation, the bronze giant's blood should undergo subtle changes in two or three hours. If it can be activated, it will be fully activated tomorrow.
During this period, he will stay in the laboratory to observe and analyze the reaction of blood under particle radiation.
He has already thought about the use of the bronze giant's blood.
In fact, there is nothing to think about. The amount of blood is too small, and the useful part after removing impurities is estimated to be only a trace.
Lu He intends to use this trace of the bronze giant's blood essence to directly strengthen the third-level blood in his body, break the blood shackles, and help him to reach the realm of the Heavenly Knight.
He now wants to break through to the second level, and there are two ways:
One is to break through to the second level through wizard training.
But judging from the current progress, even if he takes medicine every day, he estimates that it will take at least three years.
The second is to break through to the Heavenly Knight through the Knight Road.
He has already stood at the top of the Knight rank. The Knight rank is just about accumulating Qi and energy, which is very simple for Lu He.
It is much easier to break through the Knight rank than the Wizard rank. The Soros family has a complete inheritance of the Sky Knight, and it is also suitable for the inheritance of the third-level blood in the Soros family.
After his efforts, the current blood concentration in his body is not much different from that of the first generation of the Soros family head.
Coupled with the stimulation of the bronze giant's blood essence, it should not be difficult to break through in a short period of time.
Although the Sky Knight is only a pseudo-second-level, far inferior to the second-level concept defined by the wizard, his purpose is to feed back in this way and accelerate the breakthrough of the wizard's path.
The two complement each other.
In this way, the three years should be shortened a lot.
...
In the evening.
The laboratory was brightly lit.
Lu He sat behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand, quietly writing in a notebook.
Lines of delicate text and digital formulas, particle reaction equations... kept appearing under the pen tip, neatly arranged on the white paper, with dense notes next to them.
All of them recorded the data of the radiation experiment.
This was his first time to do a blood radiation experiment. The experiment was not difficult for him, but he had to study hard.
Feeling a little tired, he put down his pen, leaned on a chair covered with a wool blanket and closed his eyes to rest.
After a while.
Lu He opened his eyes, opened the drawer below, and took out three black round metal pieces from it.
The metal piece was not big, with a diameter of five centimeters. There were three dark red circular lines on the outside, a scarlet vertical eye inside, and silver diamond patterns inlaid around it.
Secret mark.
The so-called secret mark is a communication tool for formal wizards to communicate with each other.
Every formal wizard will design a unique logo for himself, representing the wizard himself. The mark on the black round metal piece was designed by Lu He himself.
And some wizards will also brand this mark on their clansmen or servants to represent ownership.
Now as his subordinates increase and the territory expands, communication has become important.
There is no telegraph here, let alone mobile phones.
It can only be communicated through the secret mark, and because the others are not wizards, he can only imprint the secret mark on the metal sheet to achieve communication in this way.
But it is still far behind the mobile phone.
Because the communication of the secret mark is limited, it can only transmit sound, no images, videos, etc.
In addition, if there is no special signal tower amplification, once the distance is too far, even the sound cannot be transmitted.
The distance between Xiangmu City and Highland City is too far, it is definitely not possible. If necessary, Lu He plans to build a signal transmission tower in the middle of the Traorin District.
He has thought of the location, which is in the Basha tribe.
Wait until you pass by on the way back.
By the way, see if there are any female warriors like Yerrit in the Basha tribe. If there are, come and train them as another personal guard.
There is also a wizard tower, which needs to be built.
I haven't decided what it will be, but Lu He plans to build a few more and disguise them as arcane wizard towers.
Generally speaking, wizards will only build one wizard tower because it consumes a lot of money and resources.
Even if it is just a wizard tower for first-level wizards, it is difficult for wizards without background to support the construction of wizard towers.
But Lu He is different, he has money and power.
Building a few more is a piece of cake for him.
