Li Xiaotian's words reached the ears of the leaders of all major factions in the war zone almost instantly. At this moment, all factions in the war zone were in an uproar.
They couldn't believe that the Dragon King's Hall was so generous, not asking for a single thread from them, but instead encouraging them to attack the Assassin Alliance.
After all, when they attacked after the Dragon King's Hall defeated the Assassin Alliance, although it was the usual practice in the war zone, it was technically them seizing spoils that belonged to the Dragon King's Hall.
That was why they had prepared gifts for the Dragon King's Hall before, fearing that the Dragon King's Hall might seek retribution later.
But now, the Dragon King had spoken, not wanting anything from them, only requesting them to attack the Assassin Alliance.
They went wild. This was equivalent to saying that all the resources they plundered in this war were theirs, and they didn't even need to worry about the Dragon King's Hall holding them accountable afterward.
"What are you waiting for? Stop eating, we still have an Assassin Alliance stronghold. Let's hurry and destroy it, and eat when we get back tonight, snatching money, people, and resources!" a leader shouted excitedly. They had been fighting all day and were planning to rest, but Li Xiaotian's words made them instantly lose the desire to rest.
"Search for the Assassin Alliance's industries with all your might. Loot everything. Anything with the Assassin Alliance's mark is ownerless, and anyone can snatch it!"
"The Assassin Alliance is finished, haha, this time, the whole world is attacking them, they have no chance to recover."
"The Dragon King is truly enraged. He wants to eradicate the Assassin Alliance completely. Even the neutrals are being forced to become enemies of the Assassin Alliance, haha."
"Don't forget the allies of the Assassin Alliance, hehe, I hope they stick to their positions, so we can conveniently wipe them out too!"
At this moment, the Assassin Alliance truly became a target of universal condemnation. It was likely they could never have imagined that a mere defeat in war would become the fuse for their demise.
The phrase "enemy of the world" was the most fitting description for the Assassin Alliance.
The Dragon King's Hall army also moved. Everyone was filled with fighting spirit and the rage of vengeance, dividing into ten armies to sweep through all the Assassin Alliance strongholds in the war zone.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian, along with Long Yi and Commander Mei, also set off to send their brothers home.
Long Wu, whose real name was Liu Xiangren, was from Great Qin. His home was in an ordinary small county town in the southwest of Luocheng.
Long Wu's family knew he was in the war zone, but they didn't know his identity there, always believing him to be an ordinary mercenary.
Thanks to the money Long Wu earned, his family lived quite well in the county town, with no worries about food or clothing, considered a middle-class family in the small county.
Of course, this was Long Wu's intention. His actual assets were already immeasurable, but he didn't give them to his family because he knew that for an ordinary family, suddenly having a huge fortune wasn't always a blessing.
Long Wu returned once a year to spend some time with his family. But this time, he would never return.
"Brother, Long Wu's family has been informed of his news. They have prepared a mourning hall to welcome Long Wu home," Long Yi said softly on the plane, relaying the intelligence about Long Wu's family.
"Mm," Li Xiaotian nodded and took a deep breath. He suddenly remembered that Long Wu had once told him he wanted to take him to his hometown to eat local snacks, and he had promised.
Little did he know that it would be in such a manner that their past agreement would be fulfilled.
"Make the plane go faster, don't keep Long Wu's family waiting too long. I think Long Wu must miss home very much," Li Xiaotian instructed, feeling a little low in his heart.
Long Yi quietly withdrew, also filled with sadness.
In a flash, the plane arrived in the southwest of Luocheng. Li Xiaotian and his entourage did not stop and quickly headed towards Long Wu's hometown, Yang County.
...
"Don't demolish it! Please, don't demolish it. My son is coming home soon, I want him to see our home one last time."
"Please, we are kneeling to you, it really cannot be demolished!"
In a part of Chengguan Town, Yang County, amidst the ruins of demolished residential houses, one house stood alone.
In front of the house was a mourning hall, and two elderly people were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.
Facing them was a group of burly men wearing vests and short sleeves, and two excavators followed the crowd. Their target was the mourning hall and the houses behind it.
"Get lost! Damn it, I'm going to demolish your house today. Everyone else is easy to deal with, only your family is troublesome. So what if your son is dead? What does it have to do with me demolishing your house?"
A bald, burly man shouted with a ferocious expression, filled with suppressed anger.
He had brought his brothers to carry out demolition work today. Other residents were fine; a little intimidation or a beating and they would obediently let them demolish.
But this family was stubborn. If it weren't for the fact that these two elders were too old to withstand his beatings, he would have kicked them away long ago.
"Get two people to move these two old folks aside. Don't let them get in the way, and demolish it!" the bald man ordered.
Two subordinates behind him stepped forward and walked towards the two elders. Seeing this, one of the elders' eyes turned red with desperation. He suddenly stood up and charged towards the excavator.
"You beasts! I'll fight you to the death! My son is dead, and if my house is demolished, he won't be able to return. I'd rather die than let you demolish this house!"
After speaking, the elder rushed towards the excavator. People around tried to stop him, but the bald man sneered and shouted.
"Don't stop him. You old fool, you're looking for death yourself. It has nothing to do with us, hehe."
Just as the elder was about to collide with the excavator, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.
Everyone around was startled. They hadn't even seen how this figure appeared.
"Damn it! So unlucky! I thought I'd see a beautiful sight of a head bursting open!" the bald man cursed incessantly.
Li Xiaotian's expression was frighteningly grim. He gave the bald man a cold look, then helped the elder up. This person was Long Wu's father.
"Who are you?" Long Wu's father looked up and asked Li Xiaotian with confusion.
"Uncle, we are Liu Xiangren's comrades. We are here to send him home," Li Xiaotian replied.
At the same time, Long Yi and the others also approached the elder. Their faces were ashen, but they still controlled themselves and brought out Long Wu's urn.
"My son! You're finally back! My son!" Long Wu's father cried out and rushed forward to embrace Long Wu's urn tightly.
At the same time, Long Wu's mother also hurried over. The two elders, holding Long Wu's urn, wept heartbreakingly.
"Heh heh, your son is back. Are you two old guys satisfied? Hurry up and take your dead son and get lost, don't delay my house demolition!" the bald man said with a cold smile.
