Chapter 923 The Troll King’s Invasion

In an instant, the weapons in everyone’s hands were split into two and fell to the ground—the sound of weapons dropping echoed in the dining room.

Lu Yu looked at the crowd and casually picked up a piece of roasted meat from his plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Do you still want to continue?”

“I told you, if I want to kill you, it’s just a matter of when.”

Herbert was so shocked that he collapsed on the chair and stared at Lu Yu.

At this moment, he was so scared that his entire body trembled. He did not dare to say another word, afraid the next thing he said wrong would bring upon a calamity.

Based on Lu Yu’s show of hand, he could have killed all of them instantly.

Herbert’s arrogance completely disappeared, and he changed his attitude immediately.

“Do you still want to continue? Go on, I’m listening.”

Lu Yu looked at Herbert and smiled calmly.

However, when Herbert saw Lu Yu’s smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Nothing, nothing. I was just joking earlier. Don’t take it to heart.”

He could only smile awkwardly.

As for Bart, he looked extremely reserved and kept his silence.

“I know what the Ember Empire wants to do, but stop your dreams. Since you’ve been sleeping for thousands of years, just stay here obediently. Don’t even think about having any thoughts about the outside world!”

When Herbert heard this, his face turned ugly.

They had entered a long period of frozen slumber just for this day, occupying a brand new world once they awakened. That way, they could enjoy the benefits of the future world’s thousand years of development!

Moreover, there would be a new batch of people to be their slaves. They could enjoy the future generation’s fruits of labor through their invasion. This was something the Ember Empire wanted to achieve in their dreams.

Although Herbert was unhappy, he still kept his silence and ate his roasted meat silently.

The atmosphere in the dining room instantly turned cold, and no one said another word.

Shirley looked at Lu Yu and asked curiously, “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful as a traveler.”

“Of course. How can you travel if I’m weak? Wouldn’t a robber kill me otherwise?”

Shirley nodded slightly and said, “True that. I’m just surprised by your strength. Our family’s strength is already regarded as the best in Green Sea City. I didn’t expect us to be so frail before you.”

Her words belittled her family, causing them to look at her strangely.

“It’s good that I’m strong,” Lu Yu replied. “Otherwise, you would’ve continued to humiliate me as you please.”

Herbert quickly explained, “I wasn’t humiliating you. I was just making a joke. We’ll stay here. We won’t go out.”

Naturally, Lu Yu did not believe in his nonsense. He did not have a good impression of this family and was even considering whether he should kill them now.

However, for Shirley’s sake, Lu Yu felt that he should forget about it.

Shirley was a friendly girl. If Lu Yu killed this family, she would definitely be struck with grief. She might even hate herself for bringing in the enemy.

After all, Lu Yu could not bear to kill Shirley.

“I’m done. We’ll take our leave. Let’s meet again in the future.”

Lu Yu stood up and prepared to leave.

Helen and the Empress looked at Lu Yu. Although reluctant to part with the sumptuous food, they followed Lu Yu out of the dining room.

Seeing this, Shirley hurriedly chased after him.

Herbert looked at Lu Yu’s disappearing figure and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Where is this guy from? His strength is so terrifying!”

“I didn’t even see anything when he made his move. He’s too fast!” Bart quickly said.

“He’s too strong. I’m afraid that no one in Green Sea City is his match.”

“If the new world is filled with such people, then I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to invade.”

Herbert sighed helplessly. “Don’t worry about it. Let’s get this guy out of here. I don’t feel at ease with him here, and it feels like something might fly out at any time and kill me in an instant.”

Suddenly, the dining room door was pushed open, and a person hurriedly walked in and kneeled in front of Herbert.

“Master, urgent news just came. The Troll King has led his army to attack! Everyone in the city must gather to fight the enemy!”

“The Troll King?”

Herbert finally came back to his senses. When the Ember Empire froze the entire country, even creatures from other species fell into a deep sleep.

Among them were beings from other races.

Trolls were one of them. They had fallen into a deep slumber with the humans and spent the passage of time in their nests.

These trolls were already Green Sea City’s biggest headache thousands of years ago, and they are still the same.

However, Herbert did not expect the Troll King to have planned this invasion just after their awakening!

“Get ready to go out and face the enemy.”

“We haven’t eaten our meal yet. Are we going now?” Bart asked with an aggrieved look.

“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat! If we lose, what are you eating for?”

Bart was scolded, and he stood up helplessly.

Everyone in the family quickly gathered and prepared their weapons, ready to move out.

In the front yard of the manor, Lu Yu and the other two were walking on the garden path, ready to leave.

Shirley quickly caught up.

“I’m really sorry for my father. He likes to joke around. Please don’t take it seriously.”

She looked at Lu Yu nervously, afraid that Lu Yu would not forgive her.

“He’s not joking. In fact, most people in the Ember Empire think so.”

“No, definitely not. Most of us are just being coerced. Those who really want to do that are the ruling class!”

When Lu Yu heard this, he knew that was probably the case. The ruling class wanted to do this, but it was hard to say if the people at the bottom had the same idea.

In any case, Helen and Shirley did not have such thoughts.

“It doesn’t matter. We’re leaving tomorrow anyway.”

Shirley lowered her head regretfully. She knew Lu Yu was magnanimous enough not to kill her father.

She had nothing else to say.

“I see. I hope to hear your travel story one day. Let’s meet again in the future.”

She had lived here since she was a child and had never left. As a result, she was eager to be friends with Lu Yu and learn about the outside world from him.

They noticed that the entire manor was in an uproar at that moment. Thousands of people had gathered at the manor and were fully armed.
