Chapter 925 Choosing To Strike

A large number of deserters fled from the battlefield behind them and did not even dare to look back.

The battlefield ahead was littered with corpses and broken limbs. Blood flowed everywhere, dyeing the river red.

At the front of the battlefield, Herbert stood at the back of the troops, observing the battle.

He was dumbfounded by the humans charging at the trolls one after another but not even killing a single troll.

"How could this be? These trolls shouldn't have such strength!"

"What the hell? Why is this happening?"

Bart, who was beside him, asked in horror, "Father, do we still have a chance? Why don't we take the family property and escape?"

"Escape your ass! The family property is the large grassland here. If you can take it away, then take it!"

"What should we do? We can't just die here, right?"

"You're not the one who's going to die. Why are you panicking?"

In fact, no one from their families had gone out to the battlefield. Those who had fought were all hired soldiers. As nobles and rulers, they only needed to pay up; they were not the ones who had to work hard for their survival.

But once these soldiers were exhausted, they would not be far from death. At that time, they would not even have the chance to escape.

"We can't defeat them! There's just no way!"

Bart held his head with both hands, and his face was filled with despair. Another batch of soldiers rushed forward but could not even harm a single troll.

Those trolls stomped on the ground full of corpses and walked toward the humans. It was obvious that a massacre was unstoppable.

Many people abandoned their assets and wealth and hurriedly fled the city. However, many others were unwilling to leave the place where they had grown up.

"It seems that no one in Green Sea City can defeat the Troll King."

Herbert sighed in despair. They couldn't even defeat the vanguards, let alone the Troll King.

This only brought him greater despair.

"Father, let's hurry up and escape with our money! It won't be too late for us to return after this invasion!"

At this moment, Herbert also began to consider Bart's words.

Although Bart was usually useless, his advice had to be listened to at such a dangerous moment.

"There might really be someone in Green Sea City who can kill the Troll King."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"That traveler called Lu Yu has unfathomable strength. He might be able to defeat the trolls."

"Even if he has the strength, so what? He won't help us!"

"He won't be helping us; he will be helping the people in the city, unless he really doesn't have a heart!"

Herbert quickly put his hand on Bart's shoulder. "Go and ask Shirley to come out and persuade Lu Yu. There might still be a chance!"

Bart nodded and ran into the city.

Along the way, all he could hear were tragic cries.

Many old people kneeled on the streets. They were heartbroken when they learned their children had died and cried miserably.

Lu Yu walked on the street and was uncomfortable listening to these cries.

As a human being, he had some empathy.

Helen lowered her head and looked at the ground, unwilling to look to either side.

The Empress had never seen such a scene before, as she had never experienced a war in the Twilight Kingdom, not even a small-scale one.

Therefore, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw what was happening around her.

"Why don't we make a move?"

The Empress looked at Lu Yu. "I alone am enough. If you don't want to fight, I can do it."

"Forget it. You don't even have a single AoE skill."

"Then what should we do?"

"It depends."

At this moment, Shirley ran over to Lu Yu's side.

The corners of her eyes were filled with tears as they slid down her fair cheeks.

She looked at Lu Yu and said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, I still want to trouble you!"

Lu Yu looked into her teary eyes and knew what she was here for.

"You want me to help you against the trolls?"

"That's right, you definitely have the strength! I believe in you!"

"But I don't want to help Herbert."

"For... for the sake of the ordinary people in the city, help them! They are miserable!"

"I can help them," Lu Yu replied after a moment. "But Herbert must die after this!"

Shirley was stunned. "Why..."

"Because from the moment this war began, he had relied on his wealth to send countless children to their deaths. He stood behind and did nothing and was even prepared to escape!"

"I won't save such a person. If I do, I'll only save those innocent people!"

Shirley was dumbfounded. For a moment, she couldn't decide what to do.

"You tell me. Should I save him or not?"

Lu Yu wanted to judge whether Shirley was hypocritical or just a lobbyist for the family, explicitly persuading Lu Yu to work for them for free.

Shirley had a hard time making this decision. Although her father was problematic, he was still her biological father.

However, when she saw the sorrowful commoners around her, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Save them. As long as you save this city, I don't care what you do next. Of course, I'm not qualified to care either."

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "Alright, if that's the case, Herbert's life won't exist after this. He'll definitely die."

"I only save ordinary people, not evil!"

Lu Yu emphasized again as he took out his weapon.

With a sword in his right hand and a saber in his left, killing these thousands of trolls was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.

However, Lu Yu still chose to do so for the sake of efficiency.

"Next, I will end this tragic war!"

Lu Yu took out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and shot out a beam of energy at the center of the battlefield!

Boom!

The sword aura surged toward the battlefield!

In front of Lu Yu's eyes, a crack was visible to him.

Lu Yu rushed into the crack and was instantly teleported to the center of the battlefield!

Boom!

The surrounding flames continued to rise. There were fireballs created by the troll spellcasters everywhere, and there were also waves of poisonous fog.

However, to Lu Yu, this was a typical Tuesday.

Lu Yu easily ignored the temperature of these flames.

When the trolls saw a person suddenly appear in the middle of the battlefield, they were enraged and rushed toward Lu Yu.

At that moment, Herbert's despairing eyes lit up again.

"Great, he made his move! Shirley is finally useful; she did it!"

"I didn't expect Shirley to be useful at such a crucial time. I guess we didn't raise her for nothing." Bart sarcastically remarked.

When the other family members saw this, they became excited, and the haze of despair disappeared.

Hope enveloped everyone.

They had witnessed Lu Yu's strength and had high expectations for him.

As for the other tens of thousands of soldiers, they were confused when they saw Lu Yu suddenly appear in the middle of the battlefield. They all assumed this person must be crazy to dare charge forward in such a situation.
