Chapter 1429 Gentleman
"How's it going?"
"It seems to be okay. But we need to wait and see the specific situation. The incarnation of the Lord of the Abyss has appeared in several places, and someone is dealing with it."
"Isn't it just the incarnation and not the real one?"
"The Abyss Lords are not all idiots. They just jump into a hole when they see one. With the Quasi-God coming, there won't be much of a problem on the front line."
Lu Ping'an put down the wine glass in his hand and seemed to be thinking about something.
This is a floating island that was recently built, and it serves as a temporary command post for this battle.
Lu Ping'an seemed to be in good spirits, but in fact it was the result of his using several deferred payment methods. Even for him, fighting double-digit medium-sized battles in a row in just seven days, he was almost at his limit.
In this kind of plane-scale battle, facing the overwhelming swarm of insects, the power of an individual is always limited.
Even a "nuclear warhead" cannot be detonated continuously, especially when the opponent is a rational and fearless swarm of insects. Most of the time, Lu Ping'an has given up the ability to "kill on a large scale" and prioritizes safe and low-consumption killing methods.
"Who?"
"Black Lightning."
"Pfft, you should just call him Anderson. That's a joke we play among ourselves. If you say it to his face, he will be mad."
The current top combat power in this world is actually seven quasi-gods, two of whom are local residents, one is from the Long-Handed Clan and the other is a free fishman. The Salim people are said to be sending one over, but he is still on the way.
The other five are not all from Lin Nu Church. To be precise, they are three big guys who are nominally in Lin Nu Church (Kui Wang, Mr. Liu, and Xiuyi) plus two big guys from outside the church who were invited.
"Perfect Superman" Anderson, a quasi-god-level boss, a friend from the Southern Continent.
Black Lightning is a nickname given by some people. For some reason, it has become so popular on this continent that it even surpasses its official title.
"Why? Isn't that fitting? It is said that when he runs, he is like black thunder tearing the sea surface apart."
".Uh, how should I explain it to you? This name is probably the same as you pointing at a free murloc and calling him fishy."
"Isn't that the truth? If there was a fishy smell in the cabin, many people would have said so directly."
"Although it's the truth, it's up to you, but it's best not to use this word, the other party will be very unhappy."
It was quite difficult for Lu Ping'an to explain. After all, this world was not only multi-ethnic but also multi-racial. When having scales and horns was common, then having a slightly darker skin color was nothing big.
Lulu is very smart, but without that history, she really cannot understand the so-called "racial discrimination".
This does not mean that there is no discrimination in the local area, but when different ethnic groups really have to compete for living resources, there is no need to care about what race you are. With multiple races living together to this extent, coupled with the serious survival pressure in the local area, there is no soil for discrimination based on a single characteristic.
"If you're really upset, just kill him. Why are you still complaining about his skin color and fishy smell?"
After all, overly radical words such as "fish head", "skeleton", and "multi-handed waste" are part of everyday language, which makes it difficult to understand the meaning of "black" to certain groups.
There is nothing evil or superior or inferior about black and white in themselves, but the history of using these words to divide ethnic groups and carry out slavery, massacres, and discrimination is truly evil, and is what makes these words overly sensitive to certain ethnic groups.
Lu Ping'an shook his head. He hadn't talked to the "Black Lightning" yet. After all, in an environment where most of the people were from the East, he was quite low-key even in the communication board.
But Lu Ping'an also noticed that his country seemed to be an ally of this Nirvana plan and one of the allies of the East Country.
Perhaps the top strong people have transcended nationality restrictions to a certain extent. But the strong also have their own ethnicity, culture and customs. They will only play together if they can get along well and will not dislike each other when they meet.
"But now that he's here, I can feel more at ease."
When she said this, Lu Lu suddenly revealed a helpless smile, which was full of bitterness.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"The military issued a transfer order asking me to return to the capital."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an also fell silent.
He... They all expected that the emergence of the new system would greatly enhance their own combat capability and facilitate the dispatch of various combat forces. However, they did not expect that the new management mechanism had just come out, but a restriction order was issued.
".You are probably too active. You currently have the highest kill record, three rule-level kills."
"Maybe." Lu Lu sighed. She really didn't expect this to be the case. Her efforts actually led to such a result.
It is not difficult to repel a person above level seven and kill one.
This week, Lu Ping'an was serious. He had five one-on-one opportunities. He retreated on his own initiative once, and just repelled the opponent in the other four times.
He also noticed that, although he might be considered strong among the seventh-level ones, his "attack power" was still lacking.
Except for the Red Star King, even if Lu Ping'an spared no expense in taking out targeted "rule weapons", as long as they turned around and retreated without hesitation, Lu Ping'an would still be unable to intercept them.
Unless he is willing to experience the life-and-death battle with more than one rule-level monster while being surrounded by countless insect swarms, it is hard to say who will die in the end.
Looking at the girl in front of him with an unhappy face, Lu Ping'an also had mixed emotions.
"The King Insect (rule level)" are not cabbages, they are also powerful among their peers, cunning and good at fighting, and they have a large army following them."
The battle records that have been circulated may be lies, but the battle lines and results (kills) will not. Since Lu Ping'an himself did not do it, and he admitted that Lu Lu did it, I am afraid that Lu Lu is now stronger than himself.
At least, the extreme combat power that erupted was much stronger, and at least Lu Ping'an was unwilling to fight to the death in such a situation.
Obviously, in order to achieve such a result, even she must be prepared to exchange her life for injury. In fact, the news that Lu Ping'an found out was that she kept forcing her opponents to "exchange".
"What name did they use to transfer you? You are the Grand Marshal, right?"
When the military was established, it was natural to award military ranks to each "warlord leader".
Although there are many tricks involved, especially there are many generals who are just filling in the numbers, but there are only three grand marshals and seven marshals in total.
Yes, Lu Lu is no longer the only grand marshal, but the evaluations of the other two are very forced. Their strength may not be worse than Lu Lu, but their achievements and reputations are much worse. This is obviously brought out to compete with her and take away her reputation.
In any case, when the Grand Marshal is no longer a title but a "military rank", there must be a justifiable official reason for her deployment.
"They said I was injured and ordered me to go back to recover."
"Order?!"
"Yes, an order. There is a military order from the military."
"That's ridiculous"
Lu Pingan didn't say anything nonsense. He knew that this was nonsense. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was nonsense. Even if she was really seriously injured, was it necessary to return to the capital to recuperate now? Moreover, if Lu Pingan was here, he could definitely cure her.
If it were Mr. Lu, you could just give orders and I would lose if I obeyed.
But a gentleman deceives others with tricks, while a villain lures others with benefits. Marshal Lu Lu may not be blindly loyal and rigid, but she does consider the overall situation.
At this time, when the military had just been established, refusing military orders would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the military and a blow to its dignity. If some of the warlords, who were already loose, took the lead in violating military orders and did not suffer punishment, the rest of them would naturally not take it seriously.
As long as they don't cross the bottom line, Lu Lu, who "considers the overall situation", will definitely obey military orders and take the lead in obeying them for others to see.
".Pfft, that's a bit bad. I guess when you go back, there will be nothing waiting for you. You will be idle. Uh, if it were me, I would give you a lot of trivial things to do, wasting your time and energy."
"In fact, my people have already heard the news, and they want me to go back to manage the construction of the military academy."
"It's not trivial, but it has no effect in the short term, and it's time-consuming and labor-intensive. It's thankless, but you'll probably be happy to accept it."
In a sense, Lu Lu's identity is indeed special, and this can be considered a kind of exchange of interests. They still dare not go to extremes.
"Isn't this great? We can lay the foundation and provide training for the new generation of officers and backbones." These foundation-laying things are indeed very important, and Lu Lu is most at ease doing it herself.
Lu Lu sighed and said nothing in the end.
Not long after, Lu Ping'an also laughed as he watched Lu Lu's ship sailing away.
".For the sake of our plan, you should just step back and take a rest."
The matter of letting Lu Lu go back may have nothing to do with Lu Ping'an, but it is hard to say that it has nothing to do with the Dong people.
At least for now, it is in everyone's interest to let the Grand Marshal step back and wait for the situation to change.
"However, to make up for the gap she left, I must try to kill two more."
