Chapter 558: Chapter 241: Message, Rebellion, and the Strange Wu Xiong (3)
Twenty-five thousand people, it’s definitely impossible to relocate them all at once. Split into five groups, and then have five Cold Resistance Level leaders escort them personally. That would solve the problem.
Detecting the enthusiasm in Luo Yuan’s tone, Xia Chuan nodded with a light smile, which couldn’t hide the happiness on his brow.
Counting Wushuang’s more than twenty-five thousand people, along with the Beehive’s thirty-three thousand, this wave of population surge for Great Xia would be unprecedented. The key is that during the few months since my brother Xia Hong left, we haven’t been idle; the population has been steadily increasing the entire time.
"Once these two groups are all relocated back to Xia City, our total population in Great Xia will be roughly..."
"How can my Wushuang men allow themselves to be so violated? Have your spines been removed? I’m back, so what are you all afraid of? Everyone pick up your weapons and resist!"
Xia Chuan, calculating the total population, hadn’t finished his words when he was interrupted by a shout of rage from outside. He quickly looked up towards the outside, and upon hearing the words, his expression changed instantly, rushing out directly.
"It’s Wu Xiong’s voice!"
Peng Bo drew his sword and charged out, even faster than Xia Chuan, simply because he recognized that the voice belonged to Wu Xiong.
The three of them stormed out of the main building and discovered a fierce battle had already begun next to a large wooden house on the right side.
A small yellow figure wielding a long staff was being besieged by Hong Guang, Zhu Yuan, and Zhao Hu, and Huang Yong, Hong Gang, and others who heard the commotion behind were also joining in the siege.
"Wu Xiong, you dog! I’ll take your life!"
Seeing that it was actually Wu Xiong himself, Peng Bo, without thinking, charged forward with the Ghost Head Great Saber, substituting for Hong Guang’s main attack position and launched a frantic assault on Wu Xiong, his momentum fierce to the extreme.
Swish swish swish...
However, it wasn’t just these Cold Resistance Level individuals fighting.
From the right side of the large wooden house and the other four buildings near the main building, arrows started being shot out in constant streams, all aimed at the Cold Resistance Level members of Great Xia.
"Don’t move, nobody move, anyone who moves again will die!"
"Do you have a death wish? Whoever dares to move again, kill them for me."
"The leader is back, brothers, don’t be afraid. Wushuang is our home; we can’t let these people take it. Charge with me!"
"Right, they killed so many of us and still dream of ruling us? To hell with Great Xia, resist with the leader, chase them away."
......
"Hong Guang and Zhu Yuan, just assist Peng Bo in the siege. The rest of you, come inside with me and suppress those rebellious traitors!"
Upon hearing the disturbances from several wooden houses and realizing it was those from Wushuang causing the turmoil, Xia Chuan did not hesitate for a moment and gave immediate commands.
After defeating Wushuang earlier, he only restricted the Earth-digging Realm.
The remaining people, both for convenience and to appease morale, were confined to five wooden houses without even confiscating their weapons. Each house was simply guarded by a hundred Earth-digging Realm members, taking turns on watch.
Among these over five thousand people, the vast majority were ordinary, with a few in the Logging Realm. It wasn’t that a hundred Earth-digging Realm couldn’t control them; the problem was Wu Xiong, as a leader, evidently had great rallying power. If the chaos couldn’t be contained and everyone was incited by him, too many would be killed, which in the end would still be Great Xia’s loss.
Therefore, the chaos must be suppressed first.
Peng Bo, Hong Guang, and Zhu Yuan, the three of them encircling, Wu Xiong had nowhere to escape!
Xia Chuan gazed at Wu Xiong briefly and immediately brandished the Black Blade in his hand, charging into the most chaotic wooden house.
Rushing into the wooden house, seeing the people shooting arrows by the second-floor window, Xia Chuan’s expression darkened. He directly leaped onto the second floor, and the Black Blade slashed horizontally.
Crack...
With this slash, more than twenty people clustered by the window were all decapitated. The people behind, attempting to rush forward, were splashed with blood, and their expressions instantly calmed, pupils filled with terror.
"Keep killing, it doesn’t matter if they stop or not, kill five hundred!"
Xia Chuan shouted angrily, raising his voice, so everyone in this house and those in the other four houses heard it too.
In each house, there were a hundred members of the Great Xia Earth-digging Realm, and Xia Chuan had just ordered, except for Zhu Yuan and Hong Guang, the other six Cold Resistance Level went inside to help suppress the chaos.
So, Xia Chuan’s command was quickly executed.
Whether the rebels stopped or not, they had to kill five hundred!
Thud... Crack... Slash...
The wooden houses holding Wushuang’s over twenty-five thousand individuals instantly began a bloodbath of extreme violence. To say that the number of people involved in the turmoil in each house was over five hundred would be an understatement, but Great Xia’s sheer act of slaughter without even asking still made all the Wushuang people wake up instantly.
Regardless of whether they participated in the rebellion, they all woke up!
"I didn’t participate in the rebellion, don’t kill me."
"Neither did I, I surrender, I shouldn’t have rebelled."
"Stop it, stop it quickly, we can’t let them kill any more."
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me..."
......
Sadly, they realized it too late.
No matter how pitiful their pleas for mercy were, the people on Great Xia’s side, from Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and other Cold Resistance Level members, down to the five hundred Earth-digging Realm members, never stopped.
The wooden house where Xia Chuan was located, Wushuang’s people frantically retreated to the walls, while the Earth-digging Realm members at the door continued the slaughter, and Xia Chuan even more so. Wielding the Black Blade, he was hacking away furiously, his face aflame with anger, without the slightest pause.
"Chaos, rebellion, with Wu Xiong and you think you can turn the world upside down?"
"Seems Great Xia has been too lenient towards you."
