Chapter 930: The Rise of Kushan
"Wen Hou, I'm sorry!"
Lancelot picked up the lake light without regrets and blocked Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji as he slashed towards the battlefield.
"With the treasure in front of us, it all depends on our ability!" Lu Bu said lightly, and increased the strength of his hands. "Do you think you can stop me?"
"You'll never know unless you try!" Lancelot gritted his teeth and resisted Lu Bu's strength.
"Phew, what trouble!"
Lu Bu was a little annoyed and chopped several times. Lancelot's strength improvement was a little beyond his imagination. This speed of improvement could not be achieved by ordinary training.
He was originally just a scumbag in the third echelon, but now he is considered a strong player in the second echelon. This strength is definitely gained by experiencing several life-and-death crises.
This kind of guy is very difficult to deal with. With his current seriously injured body, he is sure to win, but this victory will not be so easy.
There was not enough time in this chaotic battlefield for him to slowly fight Lancelot to decide the outcome.
Just as Lu Bu was thinking about how to ask Lancelot to continue collecting the fragments, an evil thought suddenly came to his mind.
Lancelot was a little surprised when Lu Bu pulled away and retreated violently, but he did not chase him. Instead, he turned around and joined the fight for the fragments. It was good news for Lancelot that he did not have to face Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked coldly towards the direction of the Himalayas below his feet.
"Someone is spying on me? No, not spying, but wanting to kill me?" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes.
"Interesting! I want to see who is so fearless of death!" Lu Bu drew his hand in the air, and a precious bow condensed from the essence of heaven and earth appeared in his hand.
"middle!"
Zhebie, who was far away in the foothills, put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looked at the arrow flying towards him, sighed, then turned and went into the mountains.
He did want to trick Lu Bu, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so vigilant. He should have picked a weaker one earlier.
However, given the risk of being exposed, it would be better to attack more valuable targets. The powerful Lu Bu was a good choice, but it was a pity that he failed.
"I didn't expect that he is also a good archer. I underestimated the Han people!" Zhebie was a little depressed. Although being proficient in archery and horse riding is a standard for military generals, Lu Bu's archery skills were a little beyond his expectations .
Even if I can't beat him, I'm not much worse than him. I'm definitely the top archer.
"Qi, you are a rat that hides its head and shows its tail!" Lu Bu's face was gloomy. The feeling of being secretly plotted against was very annoying, but he could not find any trace of the other party. It could be seen that the other party was also a good player.
This poisonous snake lurking in the dark made him very unhappy. He wished he could turn the Himalayas over, find the other party, and grind it to ashes.
But it's not realistic, so he should just continue to snatch the fragments honestly.
"Let's retreat!"
Seeing that the fragments had been almost divided up, Lu Bu directly ordered a retreat, thinking that he could stop while he was ahead. Moreover, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
The people of the Han Dynasty were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything. There were indeed only one or two fragments left on the battlefield that were ownerless, and most of the one-third of the fragments went into their pockets.
The rest was mostly spoils of war from Britain and Parthia, and later from Rome.
However, it is estimated that after Great Britain and Parthia divided the accounts, each of them would have less than Rome.
It must be said that Su's ability was extremely useful in this kind of melee. He took advantage of the chaos to snatch away a lot of fragments, but the price was that Penilence was seriously injured.
If Penilence could hold on a little longer, Su could still grab a little more.
The things that were robbed the least were the resurrected gods and Buddhas of Kushan. First, several people were killed by Lu Bu, and then they were taken advantage of by Su Lai in the melee. A few unlucky ones were even killed by Altria's laser cannon.
If Maudgalyayana had not reacted in time and brought the gods and Buddhas back to Arvind, at least more people would have died.
All the forces were well aware that what they had robbed was only a small portion, accounting for about three-tenths of the total. Those in the Americas had taken about one-tenth, and the rest was taken back by the Kushan Empire.
But they have even sent out their super elite troops. If they really go down and the clouds rise, it will be hard to say who will be the one to deal with whom.
Even if Lu Bu faced the weakest Breaker under the clouds, it would take some time to decide the winner.
So after everyone was sure that they had gotten something good, they all tacitly chose to stop and then retreated.
Zhao Yun approached Lu Bu hesitantly, wanting to ask if what Lu Bu had said before still counted.
This Brahma was more or less killed by him, so can this marriage be discussed?
“Poof~”
He never expected that as soon as he passed the test, Lu Bu's whole body was covered with blood and he fell on Red Hare without a sound.
Zhao Yun's scalp was numb at this moment. Shen Pojie couldn't even maintain his own injuries. How weak must he be.
He rushed over and transferred his internal energy. Fortunately, his internal energy was flexible and was very helpful in maintaining his injuries. As long as he could hold on until returning to Luoyang, these would not be a problem.
"Second brother, what happened to this kid Lu Bu? Was he punished by God?"
Zhang Fei who met up with them was shocked. He thought that Lu Bu was punished by heaven as he was so badly injured.
As for whether he was beaten by someone, Zhang Fei didn't think about it at all. It was a good thing that Lu Bu didn't hit people. How could he be beaten like this by someone?
He and Dian Wei escaped quickly and had no part in what happened later. Naturally, they were not punished by heaven, so they were completely confused.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. This journey is not an easy one!" Guan Yu said, stroking his beard.
Unlike others, he is more or less a scholar. He usually studies the textbooks written by Bai Qi, and now he is considered the commander of a large army.
We have a deeper understanding of this incident. The Kushan Empire's previous weakness was obviously in high-end combat power. This time, the high-end combat power was made up, and so many fragments of consciousness were obtained.
According to Guan Yu's calculations, the Kushan Empire might be able to develop an imperial will and begin to take off.
In this case, the pressure on Yizhou will probably not be too small.
"Third brother, for safety's sake, you should go back to your eldest brother first. I'm worried that the Kushans may have other intentions!" Guan Yu said uncertainly, stroking his beard.
Zhang Fei's expression became much more serious. Even though the three brothers had not been so displaced in this life, the friendship between them had not diminished much.
"I understand. I'll leave right away!"
When Guan Yu said this, Zhang Fei understood the seriousness of the matter. He was just a little reckless, but he was not lacking in wisdom.
"When you pass by Nanman Province, let Meng Huo know. I guess Nanman Province's support will be needed by then!"
Zhang Fei nodded without any hesitation and flew directly towards Yizhou.
"Yunchang, how confident are you?" Huang Zhong asked Guan Yu as he approached him.
"No, I hope it's just my illusion~!" Guan Yu shook his head. He couldn't say why, but he just felt uneasy.
…
"Good, good, good!" Vasudeva I looked at the message with great joy. "Arvind, Rahul, you two have made great contributions this time, and you deserve a reward!"
"Masinde, Zhu Helai, it's up to you!"
Vasudeva I was filled with joy. The Kushans' years of planning had finally been completed in their hands.
Not only did he solve Brahma's problem, but he also got the basic materials for making the Imperial Will.
In this way, the Kushans will soon have their own imperial will.
Moreover, although Brahma, the power bank, has been replaced by Shiva and Vishnu, the two check and balance each other. As long as it is arranged properly and the two are balanced with each other, they can still use the Supreme Brahma as the power bank.
How could Vasudeva I not be happy to get the will of an empire for free?
The Kushans have had two concerns over the years: one is the Han princess, and the other is the will of the empire.
Especially after learning that the Han Dynasty had six military soul corps, the desire for the imperial will almost reached a pathological level among the Kushan upper echelons.
Many people were behind this Brahma crisis. Although each person only pushed a little, when these methods were combined together, they really allowed Mahadeva to return to his original form and awakened the consciousness called Brahma.
Therefore, Nangui became much more important in the heart of Vasudeva I. Although he had always been very embarrassed before, he did a very good job this time.
However, it is no longer appropriate for the Brahmins to dominate alone, and new churches need to be introduced to create balance.
"Is Islam...would it be a good choice?" Vasudeva I stared at the documents on the desk and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Vasudeva I stood up, stretched out his hand, and a ball of white light appeared in his hand.
No more came, and he had a feeling in his heart that this not-so-bright white light was what they, the Kushans, had been longing for for many years.
"The will of the empire... is this the will of the empire?"
Vasudeva I silently felt the will of the empire in his hand, and he also understood why this thing appeared in his hands.
"Only the emperor can bear the will of the empire?" Vesudeva I frowned. "No, that's not right. Only the most valuable person to the empire can bear the will of the empire?"
"That's good, this way it will be more legitimate!" Vasudeva I nodded with satisfaction.
As the research deepened, Vasudeva I felt the breath of two military soul legions within the imperial will.
One is the original Imperial Scepter, which was forged by the Military Soul Legion. It is now officially formalized and is much stronger than before.
The other one had a more unfamiliar aura, but after Vasudeva I carefully sensed it, he discovered that the commander of this legion was Arvind, and he immediately understood.
"Arvind...has he actually been promoted to a military soul? Good! Good! Good!"
Vasudeva I was even happier. He found that since the emergence of the Imperial Will, the news he received was better than the last.
I originally thought that the Military Soul Corps would still have to go through a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect that it would fall directly on Arvind's head.
This is really good news for the Kushan Empire, not only in terms of political correctness, but also in terms of the actual situation of the Military Soul Corps.
Having a commander like Arvind leading the Army Soul Corps is stronger than Kapil, who currently holds the scepter of the empire, in any way. If there is no choice, who would choose to hand over the country's most important weapon to a person whose performance is uncertain at all.
"Your Majesty, Master Maudgalyayana requests to see you!" The guard came to report, interrupting Vasudeva I's joy.
"Master Maudgalyayana...please invite him in!" Vasudeva I was a little puzzled, but still invited him in.
"What is the Master doing?"
"We have come specially to congratulate Your Majesty. The eighteen gods and Buddhas are willing to serve Your Majesty from now on!" Maudgalyayana went straight to the point and brought good news to Vasudeva I.
"In addition, the Brahmin hermits are also willing to serve Your Majesty!"
"Pass on my order to appoint Master Maudgalyayana as the Kushan Imperial Master. Please do not refuse!" After making sure that Maudgalyayana was not joking with him, Vasudeva I decisively ordered to appoint him as the Imperial Master.
The resurrected gods and Buddhas, the reclusive Brahmins, any one of them was a help to him, and now they all came together, which made him attribute all these good things to the birth of the imperial will.
Moreover, he discovered that with the continuous good news, the imperial will in his hands seemed to become brighter.
…
"I already know the general situation. How is Wen Hou doing now?" Guo Hao rubbed his eyebrows.
"Marquis Wen's condition is now stable, but Doctor Hua said that he may need to recuperate for two or three months!" Zhao Yun said with a serious face.
At their level, being able to lie down for two or three months is simply incredible, and it also shows how serious Lu Bu's injury is.
"What about the Xuanyuan Sword?"
"He has returned to the Nine Cauldrons and seems satisfied!" Zhao Yun had a headache when mentioning the Xuanyuan Sword.
To be honest, without the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he might not be able to kill Brahma in the end, but the Xuan-Yuan Sword is of such significance that he really doesn't dare to run around with it.
After making sure that the Xuan-Yuan Sword was safe and sound, he traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Guo Hao to explain the situation.
"Okay, you can go down and have a rest too. I know all these things!"
After sending Zhao Yun away, Guo Hao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
The imperial will has grown a lot, which is a good thing, but the accompanying news is a bit upsetting.
If the Kushans really established their imperial will, then their overall strength would probably not be just on paper.
In most cases, the will of the empire is actually no different from cheating. Once a fight breaks out, it will probably add countless variables.
It's true that plans cannot keep up with changes. I had originally planned to wait until I had free time to cooperate with Rome to deal with Parthia. Anyone who dared to have anything to do with the Huns should be wiped out.
Now that the Kushans have risen, there will be many more variables in the future.
Or when the Kushan Empire expands again, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.
"Oh, is a war on two fronts inevitable?" Guo Hao had a headache.
The alliances that were once joked about may actually become a reality.
The Han Dynasty and Rome formed an alliance, while Great Britain, Kushan and Parthia formed a coalition.
Especially on the line of alliances, almost every empire has to face two opponents, and the outcome will really depend on each empire's ability.
