In the East China Sea, the surface of the sea is surging. Although there is almost no wind, there is still a wave of at least two meters high on the sea, constantly beating on the warships of the Blackstone Empire. As for the boats of the fishermen, they are like remnants of leaves. The ups and downs in the sea may overturn the general at any time, which is very frightening.
There are a total of four hundred large warships, but the force they carry is less than half of the full load, which also means that the entire Blackstone Empire Expeditionary Force is already less than 60,000.
On the Dragon Head battleship, a group of blood-stained warriors sat there with their heads down and their faces blank.
"I'll wait... I'll have the emperor's grace..." At one end of the deck, an admiral wearing a commander's rank was pale with a few sword marks on his arm. He suddenly pulled out his saber and wiped it to his neck.
"No, Lord Commander!"
A lieutenant hurriedly pressed his arm and said with tears: "We are soldiers, and victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. You are now the highest commander of the three armies, how can you find short-sightedness?"
All the generals were shocked and knelt down in a hurry: "Yes, commander Lu Yan, you are now the commander of the highest rank of the three armies, you must not abandon us..."
Lu Yan, the commander of the Haishan Legion, with a five-star rank, is the same rank as Fu Yu, but the strength of the Haishan Legion is not as good as the Cangyan Army, so he has been scorned repeatedly, but now the expeditionary army has fallen short, Fu Yu, Han Shu and even the Empire The marshal and Bailiqin, who had the cultivation base of the Saint Martial God, have all died in the land of Daqin. Once Lu Yan returns from his trip, he will inevitably be sent to the military law office to judge the future of the defeated army.
The imperial emperor Shiyuan had a fierce and cruel temperament, and I was afraid that Lu Yan would not be allowed to continue to live. After all, he was not a leader in terms of dominance and strength.
Aside, the young Confucian student said, "Lord Lu Yan, if you die, we will have no leader. For the sake of the empire and so many soldiers, continue to rule us!"
This Confucian student is Bailiyan, a descendant of Bailiqin, even Bailiyan said that, what else can Lu Yan say.
"The marshal died in battle, doesn't Mr. Yan blame me?" Lu Yan said with blood red eyes.
Bailiyan shook his head: "The ancestors died because their opponents were too strong. It has now been confirmed that Xiyin is the female emperor Qin Yin who has disappeared for many years in the Great Qin Empire. Xi Tianjie played a wrong move with ten separate scores and sent the strongest enemy. Here comes the fault in the gods, not in us, please don't blame yourself."
"Now, what should we do?" Lu Yan asked weakly.
Bai Liyan was a strategist of the Three Armies, but in the face of the repeated conspiracy of many famous generals in the Great Qin Empire, Bai Liyan's confidence was defeated half a month ago, where else could he have any ideas.
At this moment, the roar of the dragon came from the distant sky, and everyone immediately became awe-inspiring. All the soldiers who fell to the ground raised their weapons to make a defensive posture.
The clouds dispersed, and a giant dragon appeared in front of him, slowly lowering his flight altitude. After seeing the bear body battle flag ornament on the dragon’s neck, Lu Yan heaved a sigh of relief and stepped forward: " Yan is here!"
The dragon crashed on the deck, and the dragon knight on the dragon's back lifted his helmet, revealing a handsome face, and said, "It turns out that it is the ship led by Lu Yan. That's great!"
"Ah... Is it Master Fu Yun?" Lu Yan looked astonished.
Fu Yun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has just received news from the expeditionary army, so he sent me to bring twenty dragon knights to help in the fight. I heard... Has the expeditionary army been defeated beyond the limit?"
"Marshal Baili Qin died in battle, even your brother Fu Yu commanded..."
"I see."
Fu Yun's face was a little pale, his body shook lightly on the dragon's back, but he immediately recovered his calm, holding the dragon sword in his hand, and reaching into his arms with the other hand, he took out an edict, and said: "Your majesty's edict, please Lu Yan Take command!"
"Chen... Take the order!"
"Immediately, order Lu Yan not to return to the army, and control the rest of the tribes to detour back to the savage areas south of the Volley Province, continue to open up territory for the empire, and will not return to the teacher unless they reclaim the land of Lingnan!"
"what?"
Lu Yan was startled slightly: "Our army has only 50,000 or 60,000 people left, so what are we going to do to contend with Lin Muyu's 100,000-plus army? Your Majesty is asking us to die..."
"Why?" Fu Yun said lightly: "Your Majesty has sent me to assist you. Besides... The 300,000 troops of the Tianji Empire are attacking the steel wall in Lingbei. If nothing else, the troops of Lin Muyu and Qin Yin will soon be there. Leaving Lingnan and going to the steel guard wall to participate in the battle, isn't it a great opportunity for us to take advantage of the void and retake the volley province?"
"But our strength is still..."
"Please don't question your majesty's decision." Fu Yun smiled and said: "Your Majesty has issued a king order, calling on many mercenary groups in the empire to participate in the war and enter the volley province to seize the city and land. Thousands of warships, these mercenary bosses are not annoying, you know the commander."
"But let these mercenaries seize the city, they will inevitably establish themselves as kings, which is of no avail to us."
"I don't understand the commander. The role of mercenaries is only to consume the strength of the Qin army, and our real goal should be more long-term, such as the capital of the Qin family, Lanyancheng."
"what?"
Lu Yan was startled, nodded slightly and said: "I think... I understand..."
"That's not to pass the order?"
"good."
Lu Yan stood up straight and said like a Hong Zhong: "Immediately send the order, turn the bow of the ship, go to the coast two hundred miles south of Volley Province, and find a way out!"
…
From the southern border of Volley Province to the south, a hundred miles of dense forests are scattered here. Tigers, pythons, and poisonous insects are clustered in the forests. It is impossible for ordinary people to reach it. It is precisely because of the existence of this natural barrier that the empire is protected. The territory did not continue to the south, but there are still human beings in the south.
In the eyes of the empires, the Southern Wilderness Tribe was also called the Nanban. It was a group of completely uncivilized races. They could not even plant or even make fires, and they still lived a life of ruthlessness and blood-drinking.
But at this time, there was smoke in the Southern Wilderness Tribe. There was smoke everywhere on the plain for dozens of miles. The faces of the Nanban people in animal skins were full of laughter. They had already tasted the wonderful taste of the fire. Cooked meat must be much better than raw meat.
"Old Lu! Old Lu!"
The tribesmen danced the ancient totem dance around the bonfire. The patriarchs of more than a dozen large tribes from the Southern Wilderness tribe gathered here. Their faces were full of joy. They shouted "Old Lu" to an old man in the middle. In the language, it means the Holy Lord.
The old man is dressed in a royal robe, his face is full of smiles, he chuckles with his beard and chuckles. It is none other than Qin Yi, the capital of Yihe Kingdom. At this time, Qin Yi seems to have dissolved with the ethnic life of the Southern Wilderness tribe. One place.
Behind Qin Yi, a group of generals of the Yihe Kingdom were all smiling, but Qin Huan was silent, holding a poorly crafted wine glass in his hand, looking sullen.
An admiral came over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, everyone is celebrating this grand ceremony. Why are you so depressed by yourself?"
Qin Huan sneered and looked at a group of undressed and dancing southern barbarian girls in the distance, and said: "We brought flames and seeds to this group of barbarians and taught them to cultivate, but they still yearn for peace and want peace. Living here quietly, always reluctant to agree to send troops to help us, what a group of ungrateful dogs!"
"Shh!"
The admiral hurriedly made a silent gesture and said: "Don't be heard by the prophets who understand the Chinese language! This matter needs a long-term discussion. After all, we have just arrived, and those who eat and live in other people's homes don't talk about it. Dadutong has just been enshrined as a holy lord by the Southern Barbarians. Isn’t it a matter of time before their 18 clans send troops? Don’t look at them one by one, but the young man Kong Wu is powerful. Once he puts on his armor, picks up a weapon, he needs a little training. They are all invincible soldiers. The total number of young people from these 18 clans totals two million. What a terrifying army!"
"Huh, I don't think it is true. None of those old things is willing to contribute to our righteousness and country." After that, Qin Huan suddenly changed his conversation and asked: "I heard... news from Lingnan, Qin Yin is resurrected. , And Ding Xi's nag did not die, but loyal to Qin Yin, is this true?"
"Probably."
"Huh, old dog Ding Xi is really despicable and shameless. My righteousness and the country have treated him so badly. He actually scammed to death. Now he has voted for Qin Yin again. He is really a shameless man! The king is planning to build the Lingnan Zhongguo Monument, and he will The name is engraved in the first place!"
The admiral was stunned, and said: "I think... Ding Shuai must have something unspeakable too, right?"
"Don't call him Ding Shuai, he is not worthy!"
"Yes... the subordinates knew it was wrong!"
…
While the celebration was in progress, a war eagle scout suddenly fell from the sky and looked shaky. The knight's face was full of panic, and he rushed into the crowd: "Most of them are unified, big things are not good! Most of them are unified, big things are not good. Up!"
"what happened?"
Qin Yi turned around and asked.
The scout hurried to his knees: "There have been many warships on the southern coast. They are... the warships of the Blackrock Empire, with the flags of the Cangyan Army and the Seamount Army. The total force seems to be at least 50,000, and there are also The dragon knight legion followed, less than fifty miles away from us!"
"What, fifty miles?"
Qin Yi stood up abruptly and sneered: "It seems to be coming for us, but does the mere 50,000 troops want to compete with the 150,000 army of the Yihe Nation? Who will fight?"
The generals were silent, and no one spoke.
Even Ding Xi and Long Qianlin were defeated, who can be sure to defeat the army of the Blackstone Empire? Even with a three-to-one force ratio, no one still has the confidence.
Finally, Qin Huan in the crowd stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Father, since no one wants to go, the boy is willing to lead the soldiers!"
Qin Yi frowned, and there was a sense of sadness in his heart. When Ding Xi and Long Qianlin died, Yihe Kingdom had no generals anymore. The few remaining generals had not fought any major battles, and they could not be reused at all. It seems that this son is the only one who has seen the real battle, but... Knowing his son Mo Ruo father, Qin Yi knows that Qin Huan is arrogant, but he has no real facts.
"Forget it, I will lead the soldiers myself."
Qin Yi waved his palm lightly, and said: "The three armies follow the order, prepare for battle, and fight against the army of the Blackstone Empire on the Purple Deer Plain!"
…
"Old Lu! Old Lu!"
Behind him, a group of people from the Southern Wilderness tribe praised him, but Qin Yi couldn't tell.
