It was a banquet, but everyone tasted nothing and waited silently for the banquet to end.
Suddenly, a demon guard came quickly, rushed directly into the hall, chased away the dancing girl who was dancing hard, and knelt in front of Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge's half-closed eyes were filled with luster, and she couldn't help but lean forward.
She stared at the kneeling demon guard, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, 'Could it be that there is finally news about Si Mo? '
Mu Qingge's eyes were filled with expectation unconsciously.
However, when the demon guard opened his mouth, what he said was not what she expected.
"Princess, the battle report from the front is coming. The aliens are attacking our territory again. The front is in a tight situation. Please ask for support!" The demon guard's voice was loud, and every word he said was loud and clear.
Not only Mu Qingge heard it, but everyone else heard it too.
"What! The aliens are here again?"
"These pestering reptiles!"
"We might as well go directly to their lair and kill them in one fell swoop, saving them the trouble of having to do it again!"
"Laird? Do you know where their lair is? How many people from the Gods and Demons clan have sent to find out, but no one has returned."
Alien
Mu Qingge frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.
She had always thought that there were only two races of gods and demons in the Gods and Demons Continent, and then there were the Zerg races in the ancient Insect Abyss. The Zerg race has lived in the Insect Abyss for generations, never coming out or getting involved in any party's affairs. They live in seclusion. Even if there is a war or confrontation, it should be a matter between the gods and demons. When will another alien race appear
Mu Qingge's eyes drifted towards Gu Ya and Gu Ye.
The news that it was not Si Mo made her feel a little disappointed. However, the report of an enemy attack also ignited the flames of war in her heart.
Si Mo was missing. She was holding back her anger and had no place to vent it. It was just a good time to fight a few battles to vent her emotions that were about to explode.
However, she still hasn't figured out yet, what the hell is that alien race
"Princess, there is an alien invasion. We in the Wild Demon Realm must not indulge!" Suddenly, Suo Sheng walked out from behind the gauze curtain and faced Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge turned to look at him, but there was no hypocrisy in his expression.
As soon as he moved, the three great feudal lords with whom he had close friendships also stood up.
Not to be outdone, Lingjiu's four people stood out from behind the veil and said to Mu Qingge in unison: "I am willing to lead the troops there!"
These eight great feudal lords have all moved. If the others don't express their feelings, how can they
As a result, the remaining dozen or so people all walked out from behind the gauze curtain and stood in front of Mu Qingge.
At this moment, there was no obstruction in front of their eyes, and they could finally see Mu Qingge and their princess clearly!
The image of the princess who gave them an aura that was formidable, powerful, and whose words were like daggers, had been sketched in their minds. When they saw it with their own eyes, it was all shattered to pieces.
The woman in front of her stood tall and straight on the throne. She was dressed in a neat and elegant red dress. She looked heroic and proud.
She doesn't have any of the pretentiousness that belongs to a woman, but has a bit more of a man's coolness and wildness.
Is the princess beautiful
The answer is undoubtedly!
The dozen noble nobles of the demon race who saw Mu Qingge's appearance for the first time were all stunned in place at this moment, looking at her with dull eyes, and the emotion in their eyes was not only stunning but also amazing.
She frowned slightly, with an air of calmness and authority in her clear eyes.
It seems that she is a born king, regardless of gender!
Almost instantly, they were impressed by her aura and felt that only such a woman could be worthy of the most genius and greatest monarch in the history of their demonic realm!
"Who, tell me first, what is a foreign race?" Mu Qingge spoke slowly, her clear eyes scanning these people who walked out of the veil privately.
She was not coy. Now that war was breaking out, how could she be so bored as to pursue their rudeness
In full view of the public, she ignored the amazement in those people's eyes, ignored their respective thoughts, and just focused on the key issues.
Ji Fu took a step forward and said to Mu Qingge: "Reporting to the princess, we don't know the origin of the alien race. We just know that this alien race appeared after a war hundreds of thousands of years ago. It is our demon race. , and the great enemy of the Gods.”
"An enemy?" Mu Qingge groaned.
The common enemy of the gods and demons? What race is so powerful
"These alien races come and go without a trace. They almost always appear suddenly to attack us, and then suddenly disappear. We have spent countless time and can't find out where they come from. Moreover, their fecundity is very high. It is astonishing that the number of them appearing every time is extremely large, usually several times that of our defenders. In addition, their attack methods are weird and they are not easy to kill, so every time they appear, it is very difficult." Ji Fu continued.
Mu Qingge's eyes darkened. The ability to entangle the gods and demons for hundreds of thousands of years without being destroyed was enough to illustrate the power of this alien race.
Now was not the time to ask about the origin of the alien race. Mu Qingge's eyes fell on the demon guard who reported the news, and asked: "Where did they attack?"
The demon guard replied: "The aliens are attacking from the Menglan River. Our defenders there are only tens of thousands, but the other side has hundreds of thousands..." He did not finish what he said, but everyone present could hear it clearly. .
"Bring the map." Mu Qingge ordered in a deep voice.
Gu Ya and Gu Ye didn't dare to delay, so they immediately asked someone to get the map.
The map of the Taihuang Demon Realm was infused with demonic power by Lone Ye and projected over the hall.
The terrain drawn above was very detailed, and Mu Qingge could understand it at a glance.
Her eyes were focused on the map, looking for the location beside the Menglan River.
Your Highness, more than twenty people stood silently, looking at her.
"Does she understand?" Someone whispered.
In the Demon Realm, it is not that there are no women serving as soldiers and generals, but they only hold some special positions and do not need to be able to strategize and coordinate an army.
Therefore, they were curious whether Mu Qingge was just showing off, or whether he could really understand the map of the march and analyze the current situation.
Mu Qingge didn't understand the words of gods and demons, so Gu Ya secretly helped and pulled the map to the location beside the Menglan River.
For the rest, Mu Qingge only needed to look at the terrain, not the text.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked the demon guard again: "When did the aliens launch their attack? What is the situation on the Menglan River now?"
The demon guard replied: "The foreign tribe launched an attack early yesterday morning. At first, they just feigned an attack and sent out thousands of leading troops. The general stationed on the Menglan River thought it was just an ordinary provocation, so he didn't pay attention at first and didn't respond in time. Report to the capital. However, when the feint attack ended, the defenders on the Menglan River discovered the movements of hundreds of thousands of aliens, and they became aware of the seriousness of the matter. When the call for help was sent, the two sides had not yet started fighting. What happened now, my subordinates did not know .”
"Princess, it seems we have to hurry up and get there." Halberd Fu reminded.
Mu Qingge's eyes were deep in thought. She looked at the eight feudal lords standing in front of her and asked, "How many soldiers and horses can you mobilize in your hands?"
This is the key!
Then, she looked at the official in charge of internal affairs and asked, "How many soldiers and generals can your grain and grass be used for how long?"
Two questions!
One is how many available soldiers are there? One is how much food and grass reserves there are!
Two simple questions made others see that Mu Qingge was not simple! She is a princess, but she can hit the nail on the head. This shows that she is not just pretending, but really knows how to march and fight.
The surprises brought by Mu Qingge made the four of them refresh their understanding of her again and again.
As for Suo Sheng and the other four, the more powerful she is, the greater the obstacle to them. However, now that the aliens are attacking, they can only put all their thoughts aside for the time being and wait until the battle is over.
"I can send out 100,000 troops!"
"I can also give you 100,000!"
"I can only mobilize up to 80,000."
"Me too."
The four Jifu people have already expressed their opinions. The position where he and Lingjiu are stationed is relatively stable, so a total of 200,000 troops can be mobilized. However, Qingyan and Qingze were stationed in a position close to the Protoss. They could not mobilize too many troops, so they could only mobilize 80,000 troops each.
Mu Qingge did not speak, but looked at Suo Sheng and the others.
Suo Sheng immediately said: "I can mobilize 120,000."
"I can also mobilize 120,000." She Yin followed closely.
"I can mobilize 110,000."
"Me too."
Su Yan and Shu Quan also reported their numbers.
After hearing this, Mu Qingge still didn't say anything, but looked at the official in charge of logistics and internal affairs. The official immediately replied: "After the king succeeds to the throne, there will be a fixed reserve of grain every year for war. However, without the king's handwriting, the grain, grass and weapons that can be mobilized can only support an army of 200,000 people. Used by the month.”
His words made Mu Qingge raise her lips and murmured: "Two hundred thousand, one month, is enough."
Nine words, but everyone in His Highness was confused.
They really couldn't figure out why Mu Qingge was so confident? She had obviously never heard of a foreign race before this.
"Princess..." Gu Ye reminded in a low voice, fearing that she would take risks.
Mu Qingge's clear eyes glanced at him and said to him: "Victory with more and less is not a win, but victory with less is what counts."
Then, she looked at everyone and said slowly: "We are defending, they are attacking. Therefore, their siege force must be several times ours to be confident, but we are only defending, and an army of 200,000 is enough." "
At this time, the eight lords understood what the nine words Mu Qingge had muttered alone meant.
They are all people who lead troops in war, and of course they understand the transition and difference between offense and defense.
Others have been idle at home for a long time. Although their personal cultivation is still there, they still don't know how to lead troops in battle.
Therefore, they could only secretly observe the expressions of several lords and listen carefully to what the princess said.
Mu Qingge did not hesitate and said directly to the official in charge of logistics and internal affairs: "The three armies will go ahead without using food and grass. You should immediately prepare a month's worth of military supplies for 200,000 people."
The official knew that there was no time to waste and immediately withdrew to prepare.
Mu Qingge said to Qingze again: "Take your 40,000 troops and horses, and then merge with Lingjiu's 40,000 troops. The two of you will escort the grain and military supplies to the Menglan River first."
Um? Just 40,000 troops each
Qingze and Lingjiu were both a little surprised, but it was hard for them to refute Mu Qingge's face in this situation.
Therefore, the two of them silently accepted the order.
"Suo Sheng, take your 60,000 soldiers and horses, and Sheyin's 60,000 soldiers and horses, and go with me to the Menglan River." Mu Qingge looked at Suo Sheng and Sheyi again.
What!
As soon as she said these words, everyone was immediately shocked.
Only Gu Ya and Gu Ye looked calm, as if they had expected it.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They did not expect that the aliens would attack at this time, but they expected that with Mu Qingge's temperament, they would never be content with waiting for the outcome of the battle in the Taihuang Ancient Palace.
"Princess, we can go to the battlefield. It's better for you to stay in the palace." Suo Sheng said directly.
Are you kidding me? Take a woman to fight, and when the aliens come, will they protect her as the princess, or will they fight the aliens
Not only did Suo Sheng and the others object, but even Ji Fu and the others showed disapproval.
"Princess, you are pregnant with a royal heir, and you have a heavy responsibility. They are just some foreign children, let us deal with them." Ji Fu said to Mu Qingge.
What they worried about was more about Mu Qingge's safety and the safety of the 'child' in her belly.
Mu Qingge's mouth twitched and she said with a cold face: "I'm not asking for your opinion, nor am I asking for your consent. I'm just telling you my decision."
She needs a battle to establish the stability of the Taihuang Demon Realm. As long as everyone knows that in addition to the king Si Mo, there is also the existence of her princess in the Demon Realm. No matter who is there, the Demon Realm will not be in chaos! Then she would be able to find Si Mo's whereabouts in person, instead of having to wait endlessly in this ancient palace all day long.
Therefore, this sudden war is a good opportunity, and she must seize it.
"Princess, war is not a trivial matter. Don't go to the battlefield just because of a whim." She Yin said unceremoniously.
Mu Qingge smiled coldly and said to him: "Don't worry, Lord Sheyin, I will never drag any of you down. This princess is fighting on behalf of the king and leading the six armies for him."
Sheyin frowned.
The eyes of Ji Fu and others were also full of disapproval.
Mu Qingge added: "That's it. You guys go down quickly and prepare. The army will set off tomorrow."
Well!
Is this settled
Princess, do you want to be so willful? Does your Majesty know that you are so willful
When everyone was stunned, Mu Qingge didn't give anyone a chance to refute. She turned to look at Ji Fu and said to him: "Master Ji Fu, come with me." Then, she left with Gu Ya and Gu Ye. Everyone's attention.
As soon as she left, Suo Sheng said unceremoniously to the Halberd Fu and the others, "You just let her act so willfully?"
Ji Fu just glanced at him and walked out of the palace.
He didn't forget that Mu Qingge came to see him for something. Of course, he could also take this opportunity to persuade the princess not to be willful.
