Chapter 597 - 85: Beheading Strategy
"Kill!"
Lu Hong charged forward with his troops closely following, swiftly slaying the Underworld soldiers who had lost their ability to resist.
After dealing with this vanguard, Lu Hong led his army straight towards the Shanglin City Lord’s Mansion.
According to intelligence, Luo Ze, the official, was very likely a high-ranking figure in the Underworld legion. Nuoshan had discussed with Lu Hong long ago that if Konstantin genuinely couldn’t mobilize forces to support the northern border, the most viable strategy at the moment was decapitation: killing one by one the important figures under the Underworld’s command. Without their leaders, the Underworld soldiers wouldn’t pose much of a threat, and once Konstantin was free, eradicating them in one fell swoop would not be impossible.
Lu Hong was now acting according to Nuoshan’s plan, prioritizing the assassination of Luo Ze’s leadership figures.
Since the city defenses had been shattered by Lu Hong’s sword, entering the city became exceptionally simple.
The few scattered Underworld soldiers inside the city couldn’t stop the army’s advance, and were killed one by one.
Suddenly, a large number of civilians appeared on the empty streets, swarming together and running towards Lu Hong.
Lu Hong could tell at a glance that among them were ordinary civilians with expressions of terror, but also many with blank faces, controlled by the Underworld.
"Duke, what should we do?" asked a Third Transition strongman beside him urgently.
Lu Hong took a deep breath, "Prepare magic! Bombard them!"
