Final Lord

Chapter 4: Fighting Will and Cowardice

silence……

None of the cavemen answered the king's question.

Wang Bufu knew that even if any of them wanted to answer, they wouldn't be able to speak the common language, so he pointed at the blind cat and called out:
"You, come out and answer."

"Master." The blind cat was startled, his legs shaking. "I, I don't know."

"Don't know? You don't know, or you don't dare to say it?" Wang was forced.

The blind cat staggered and fell to its knees. "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have eaten such delicious food. Master, why are you punishing me? I only beg you not to kill me."

"Get up. I won't kill you." Wang Bufu lowered his eyelids, clenched his fist and said loudly: "You know, but you dare not answer, then let me tell you!

Why do I get to eat the best food while you can only eat moldy rye? Because I am the lord and you are the slaves!

This is human territory. I am the lord of humanity, and you are the cavemen's slaves! As an alien race, you can only be bullied in human territory!"

The cave people, who had been silent to begin with, became even more silent, and a gloomy aura permeated them.

The blind cat kneeling on the ground lowered its body and grabbed a handful of dirt with force, feeling both fear and anger in its heart.

Yes, you're the human overlord, and we're the cavemen's slaves. Isn't that something everyone already knows? We've all accepted our fate, and we've been bullied so much that we dare not resist. Why do you insist on this fact? Are you trying to make fun of us?

But at this moment, Wang Bufu's voice suddenly softened.

"You may not know this, but I understand you better than you do. You cavemen shouldn't live on the surface. The ideal environment for you is the dark and damp underground. Only there can you reproduce.

But why are you here, on this earth, slaves of humans?
Because you, the cavemen, are the losers in the clan struggle! Only cavemen whose clans are destroyed by other clans will be driven to the surface by their own clans, captured by human slave-hunting teams, and become slaves.

All of you are here because you have experienced failure again and again. Fate is really cruel, isn't it? "

Hearing these words, Blind Cat shuddered, and painful memories flooded his mind. He remembered his father, who had been pierced by a spear from his own people, his mother, who had protected him, and the repeated trafficking and abuse he had endured.

He thought he had gotten used to it and accepted his fate, but he never expected that his dead heart would be awakened by the delicious food.

His heart began to beat again, but it was surrounded by thorns called memories, and every heartbeat made him feel heartbroken.

"Yes." The blind cat uttered the word in a voice that only he could hear.

But Wang Bufu pointed at him very perceptively and asked loudly, "What did you say? Speak louder."

"I said yes."

"Too quiet! Louder!"

"I said, yes! Why! Why is my life so miserable!" At this moment, Blind Cat no longer stuttered in his common language. It was obvious that his stuttering before was a little trick he used to save his life.

Wang Bufu finally laughed. "Yeah. Why? Why?"

He looked around and saw that every caveman was listless and in pain. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Everyone! You are here, and each of you has your own tragic experience, perhaps similar, perhaps different. I do not understand your past, nor can I change it. But I can give you a different future.

Now, there is an opportunity before you!"

The king refused to give in, and his true intentions were exposed. He stretched out his hand, pointed into the distance, and shouted, "I have received intelligence that a group of bandits are coming towards us. They have sharp weapons, are cruel, bloodthirsty, and like evil spirits."

They are coming to kill me, and they will kill you too.

You've suffered so much. You have no home, no freedom, no dignity. And now, they want to take away the last thing you have - your life.

But they also gave you a chance!
As you can see, I am a lord in distress. I lack sufficient soldiers, and all I have are you!

There will never be another lord in the world who needs you so much as me.

I have a way to advance you to become combat-capable Tier 1 soldiers. Then, I need you to follow me and kill those who want to kill us together."

Wang Bufu raised his fist high and said passionately:

"I, Kate Gru, swear by the honor of the Gru family that if we survive, then from today, all the cavemen who fight with me will no longer be slaves. I will grant you the status of free people, so that you will no longer need to do those menial jobs.

In our territory, you can dig caves, live underground again, build clans, find love, and reproduce, just like normal humans.

The food you eat this time, you will be able to eat every meal in the future, and it may even be better than this one! Not only you, but also your descendants!
As long as you are in our Gru Territory, you cavemen are normal citizens like humans, enjoying the same rights and obligations, generation after generation!"

Ah! Fighting bandits? Us?

The cave dwellers were extremely surprised. Some huddled together, bewildered, some with bewildered expressions, and some trembling with fear.

No matter how you look at it, they don't seem to be inspired to fight.

Seeing this, Weiyi shook her head. She looked at Wang Bufu's raised fist and sighed inwardly.

Wrong. All wrong. Even Weiyi had to admit that Kate's speech was incredibly provocative. If these cavemen were humans, they'd probably be fired up and ready to fight for Kate. But these were cavemen.

It is a consensus around the world that cavemen are cowardly by nature, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cavemen becoming slaves.

But Wang Bufu seemed to have not noticed the current situation. He stretched out his palm, pointed to the woods nearby, and said, "Go, go to the woods.

I know you cavemen are good at using long stick weapons.

If you want to follow me and fight to the death, then go to the woods and find a good branch, bring it back, and gather in front of me.

If you want to abandon this last chance to survive, then run for your life through the woods. If you are lucky enough not to die in the wild, you will have a chance to find a human territory and continue to live as a slave.

I'll give you twenty minutes. If any cavemen don't return after twenty minutes, I'll consider them to have escaped. Don't worry, this isn't a test or a trial.

If you want to run, go ahead. I won't hunt you down. The only thing that will kill you is a cruel fate."

The scene suddenly became quiet, and all the cavemen dared not move.

Wang Bufu closed his eyes, turned around, and said, "Go quickly. I will count to five. If you haven't reached the woods yet, I will take it as a voluntary relinquishment of the opportunity to fight or escape and choose to remain a slave."

Five, four..."

Bang! The blind cat picked up a handful of dirt and rushed towards the woods first. All the cavemen ran towards the woods as if they had received some order.

"Two, one!" Wang Bufei opened his eyes when the countdown ended. He could no longer see any cavemen around him. Only Wei Yi was standing opposite him.

Wei Yi sighed, bit her lip and said, "You shouldn't let them go like this. Cavemen are naturally timid and cowardly, and they are afraid of death. If you let them go like this, they will definitely run away. I'm afraid only a few with backbone will stay.

You should just help them advance and stand behind them to force them to fight the Sand Bandits.

As long as I'm here, I'll kill any cavemen who dare to flee during a fight. Only under the threat of death will those cavemen fight the Sand Bandits to the death."

"Oh? Really?" Wang Bufu looked at Wei Yi with contempt and said, "How about we make a bet? If after twenty minutes, no more than half of the cavemen return, I will give you the fire for building the territory. From today on, you are the legitimate heir of the Gru family, and I will die.

But if more than half of the cavemen come back, you must agree to one condition of mine."

Wei Yi looked at Kate's expression, which she found repulsive. She raised her head in disbelief and asked, "What are the conditions? If you dare to make any obscene demands, I'll kill you right now."

"Follow my command in this battle."

Wei Yi asked curiously, "I just agreed to this. As long as you can show me the hope of victory, I will follow your command."

Wang Bufu shook his head and said, "I don't want that kind of command. I want a command that makes you trust me wholeheartedly, give up all thoughts, and do everything according to my instructions."

"Perfect command?" Wei Yi's eyes narrowed.

Perfect Command is the signature ability of the Commander class, allowing you to completely control a unit to a certain extent.

A perfectly commanded unit is like a puppet of the commander, and will go to his death if the commander tells him to.

"You want to command me perfectly? Just you?"

"Just me." Wang Bufu nodded vigorously and said, "I know I have disappointed you many times before. But this time is different. Trust me this time, sister."

"You! Don't call me that, you wimp!" Weiyi glared at Kate fiercely when she heard her sister call her that. Kate hadn't mentioned that name to him for a long time since their relationship deteriorated.

She raised her sword and said to Kate, "I will not accept your bet. I trust only my sword, not you. Enough. You are such a hopeless wretch! It is a waste of my breath to argue with you."

Having grown up living a life of luxury in a castle, you have no idea how cowardly cavemen are.

"Witness it for yourself in twenty minutes. Only when you see it with your own eyes will you understand how wrong you were. I hope you can be as arrogant as you are now when you lead those robbers away with your carriage."

Wei Yi took the sword, turned around, sat down cross-legged beside the carriage, and began to eat. The bandits would be arriving soon, and she needed to adjust her state.

"Okay then." Wei Yi didn't fall for the trick, and Wang was not convinced, so there was nothing he could do. He shrugged and smiled at Butler Ming.

"Uncle Ming, can I trouble you for a moment? I need to prepare the resources needed for the cavemen to advance. What I need are very common resources, and they should be in the supply cart you brought."

"Of course, sir."

Fifteen minutes later, Wei Yi drank a bag of water and looked at Wang Bufu who was busy preparing materials out of the corner of her eye.

Idiot, what a waste of time, she thought. She turned her head and looked towards the woods. More than half the time had passed, and not a single caveman had returned.

Her suspicions were confirmed. The cavemen were not to be trusted.

Thus, Wei Yi's last bit of hope for Kate was extinguished.

"I almost believed this idiot. Haha. I'm just as stupid as him. But no matter how stupid he is, he's still the old man's biological son and he's been pretty good to me. I really can't let him die like this.

If it really doesn't work, I'll let him hide in the woods with his father, and I'll drive the carriage to lure away the bandits.

With my strength, I might be able to survive. That wimp said those Sand Bandits' rides can only last six hours, and it's almost halfway through now. If I can just hold on, I can escape."

Chi la.

But at this moment, the woods not far away suddenly shook, and then a sneaky caveman ran out with a long, sharpened branch in his hand.

"Is it him?" Wei Yi was startled. She also recognized this caveman who could speak the common language. Although she didn't know the blind cat's name, she also remembered the only caveman who could communicate with Kate.

"No wonder he learned to speak the common language; he's a caveman with a bit of guts. But that's all." Wei Yi shook her head indifferently. Even if one or more cavemen came back, it would be useless; they wouldn't be of much use.

Chi! Chi!
But just then, one after another, cavemen emerged from the bushes. Some of them were covered in mud, others in dead leaves, looking rather comically disheveled. But in their hands, each one was clutching a shaved branch!
They actually came back! Wei Yi looked at Kate in surprise. This scene was beyond her imagination.

Wait, what about cavemen being cowardly and afraid of death? Why is that? Did that wimpy speech just now really have such a magical effect on cavemen? Is it because I'm not a caveman that I can't empathize with them?
Looking at Wei Yi's confused and surprised eyes, Wang Bufu could completely guess what she was thinking.

He chuckled to himself. His speech had certainly been helpful, but not much. Cavemen weren't easily motivated, or else they wouldn't have spent so many years at the bottom of the world.

I'm just sorry, he has a cheat.

The Ultimate God of War: The obedience of your own troops is increased by +9, the morale is increased by +9, and the rate of morale decline is greatly reduced.

Morale is the military's will, its fighting spirit, and its determination to fight.

A fleeing defeated army can regroup and charge again with 9 more morale points. A coward who is afraid of death can risk everything and climb the city wall first with 9 more morale points. Even a eunuch can take off his pants in public to show off his scars that are unique to men with 9 more morale points.

Even if the morale of these cavemen is low due to various reasons such as racial characteristics, status as slaves, and pessimistic mood, they can be pulled back to a normal level by the final god of war.

Of course, if the God of War wants to take effect in the end, there is a very important condition, that is, the cavemen must think that they belong to the army that does not obey the king.

At the moment when Wang Bufu offered those wonderful conditions, even the most hopeless caveman would have a moment of fantasy about the wonderful scene of making military achievements and escaping from slavery.

That moment of identity recognition is enough! Ultimately, the God of War's powerful passive ability will solidify the moment, turning it into eternity, and giving birth to their fighting faith out of thin air!

"As for a time traveler, Xiao Kai is not considered Kai." Wang Bufu was still a little proud in his heart.

The ultimate military god with SSS-level talent, an extremely powerful personal talent, and extremely difficult conditions to achieve.

Victories in battle boost the morale of the troops. Continuous victory, time and again, leads the troops to believe victory is their due, fostering an absolute confidence in their invincibility. This is the military spirit.

When this military spirit belongs to one person, it becomes the legendary personal talent [Military God].

To become the ultimate God of War, one needs one hundred legendary perfect consecutive victories - the total strength of the enemy and our side reaches the legendary battle level, and the difference in strength between the enemy and our side is not much or the enemy is weaker than the enemy. Only when our side achieves a loss of less than 10% and completely destroys the enemy can it be considered a perfect victory.

During a perfect streak, any failure or non-perfect streak will result in the interruption of talent advancement.

Due to the unique nature of unit recruitment in "Shen Gu World," even wealthy players who wish to spend real money to earn this talent can't. There's no loophole to exploit, so they must fight tooth and nail. Of Shen Gu World's over 100 million players, only Wang Bufu has achieved the ultimate military god status. This is a miracle unique to him!

Weiyi certainly didn't understand this miracle, just as she couldn't understand why the cavemen had returned. She carefully counted them—76 of them, all back, not a single one had escaped!

Unbelievable! Absurd!
