Chapter 1268 - Seal the City

Chapter 1268: Seal the City
If Lu Shu was alone, he could definitely be reckless. Although he was cautious, he had been reckless a few times in Africa and in Europe.
But during a war, it was different. He was entrusted with the lives of many and every decision was very important.
Thus, if he would not return, then he would not go.
The city gates of the West Capital had been opened. For the first few days, no one came out, and no one went in. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers and the Sun family had pitched their campsite dozens of kilometers away. Outsiders did not know what the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were doing. Not even the elites from the Sun family beside them knew what Lu Shu was planning.
But Sun Xunwen did not panic. Since he had made his move, all he had to do was wait.
When the Sun family cut off communication with the wealthy families from the palace, the wealthy families started to panic. For a period of time, the Practitioners who were scattered about doing business started to gather near the palace. Even if they lost their business, they had to protect their families.
After a long period of peace, the wealthy families from the palace finally understood that in this world, their fists were their last weapons when they encountered danger. It was not systems or rules.
When systems and rules were established, they were created to deceive the peasants in this slave society and build a hierarchy of dominance.
But as time passed, and the wealthy families in the palace experienced a change in authority, the later generations gradually forgot how their ancestors had established their footing in the palace.
At this moment, the people of the Luniverse suddenly realized that even if Lu Shu did not move, everyone else was deploying manpower in preparation for a battle.
It was as if Lu Shu was the eye of the storm and outside the peaceful eye of the storm was a terrifying hurricane.
Lu Shu could no longer see distress points from Duanmu Huangqi. It was not that he was calm. Lu Shu was earning distress points from too many people. He could not find the distress points from Duanmu Huangqi.
At this moment, Lu Shu conscientiously counted the number of distress points he needed to advance. He could not be blamed for desperately grabbing distress points during the entire journey. The gap was just too large.
He now needed 100 million distress points to light the first star of the sixth level of nebula. It was the same for the second star. The third star required 200 million distress points and when it came to the seventh star, he needed 3.2 billion distress points.
This meant that he needed 6.4 billion distress points in total for the sixth level of nebula.
Lu Shu felt that he had killed enough people. He had killed a total of 300 thousand soldiers during his time in the Luniverse. This time, he had killed several thousand slave owners and 130 thousand elites from the palace.
Even if this was the case, there would only be a total of 500 million distress points, with each person contributing 1000 points. It was a far cry from the 6.4 billion points that he needed.
No wonder the old King of Gods had gone on a massacre for several years. Back then, the population of the Luniverse was much higher. Lu Shu had seen records of these events in the Sword Hut and according to the records, there were several million Practitioners in the Luniverse. He could not have killed all of them, right?
Of course, Lu Shu did not just have 500 million distress points. He was about to finish lighting up the entire fifth level of nebula.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized that the biggest source of distress points was public fear.
Every time they attacked a city, the civilians in the city would panic. Although the civilians slowly understood that Lu Shu and the others would not kill them, when they saw the city walls collapse, how could they not be distressed? it was normal…
Furthermore, he often deployed Zhang Weiyu and the rest to go into the cities and tell scary stories about the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. This forcibly created fear.
Lu Shu had given up on the distress points from Earth. Now, he was World Hero Lu Xiaoshu. But the civilians in the Luniverse had become Lu Shu’s foundation. Although each person did not produce many distress points, there were many people!
The productivity in the Luniverse was lower than on Earth. This caused the population density to be lower than on Earth as well. But no matter what, Lu Shu had to confess that although killing people was the most direct method, continuing development was the way to go!
If he did not know that he was the old King of Gods in his previous life, he would have mocked the old King of Gods for his low level of education. He did not know how to make long-term developments and all he did was fight and kill. This would not do!
Although Lu Shu did not want to admit this but he had to face reality. The old King of Gods’ level of education was truly very poor…
Now, the celestial map would provide a large amount of distress points every day. But he still had 4.8 billion distress points left to earn. He had no choice but to increase their workload…
As the largest city in the West Region, the West Capital had many civilians. At first, although the city gates were open, they did not dare to run away from the city. After all, the West Region was their home and the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were the intruders.
Civilians were like this and as long as they were able to survive, they would not think of rebelling. Furthermore, they had been locked up in the city and did not know what was happening outside. Thus, they always felt that there was no problem with Duanmu Huangqi protecting the West Capital. After all, he was a Lord of Heaven.
But recently, they felt that something was wrong. The wealthy families in the palace had businesses in the West Capital. Thus, they had messenger mirrors. The wealthy families in the West Capital all knew what was happening and in less than one day, the news spread throughout the capital.
Some civilians wanted to escape when the city gates were opened. They saw that a war was about to break out.
Some aristocrats in the capital used their slaves to test it out. Before they could go out of the city, soil mixed with gravel suddenly rose from the ground. Duanmu Huangqi had opened the city gates, but Lu Xiaoyu had blocked the gates…
Everyone in the city was dumbfounded. What was happening? On one hand, the city gates had been opened wide, allowing their enemies the chance to enter. On the other hand, the attackers did not go through the door, they even sealed it up.
What kind of game were they playing?
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers did not do so to cut off their food supply. During an era with no Practitioners, this method might be effective. But the cultivation civilization had advanced to its current level. Sealing the city was not enough to secure victory.
Of course, Lu Shu was not foolish. He did not just want to kill his way to victory. He wanted the distress points from the city!
If Lu Shu could be cruel, it would be faster for him to kill all the civilians. But the problem was that he was not willing to do so.
At that moment, the imperial Dragon Soldiers sealed the city from the outside. The civilians in the city panicked. They did not know what the Imperial Dragon Soldiers was doing.
Suddenly, Li Heitan asked,
Great Lord, is this part of your plan?

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
What’s wrong with my plan? What’s wrong with this small plan? Go and do your homework!

Li Heitan felt as if he had been treated unjustly.
Did I say something wrong?
