After I settled the imperial army into the barracks, I followed the king’s courtiers to the palace and directly led them into the inner hall. All the civil and military officials were gone. The four of them were Locke the Great, Peer, Theodore, and Owen. The entire Tianling City seemed to be in the grasp of everyone.
He dismounted, and entered the inner hall with a sword on his back, far away, with a little resistance, saying: "See your majesty, see your highness, your second highness, and your princess!"
Peer smiled and nodded: "Li Xiaoyao commander doesn't have to be so polite!"
Emperor Locke also smiled slightly: "Yes, you don't have to be polite!"
I opened the door and asked: "I don't know what is going on with your majesty's call?"
King Locke shot a bright light in a pair of muddy eyes, and smiled: "General Li leads his troops well, and a mess-like imperial forest army, under your leadership, has the strength to fight against the monsters so quickly. The army of blunt armor can kill more than two thousand alien demons. This is really amazing!"
I didn't know how to answer, and there was a little confusion in my head, so I said: "It's all soldiers who are willing to do their best, nothing else."
Emperor Locke smiled and said, "Even so, General Li's outstanding talents are rare in ancient times."
I frowned and said, "Your Majesty, when on earth?"
Peier said: "Leading Li Xiaoyao, do you know why the father wants to give the Yulin Army a king flag?"
"Why?" I actually didn't pay attention at all.
The eldest prince Theodore sneered: "Don’t get cheap and still behave. The father gives you a king flag, which is equivalent to telling you that he has the intention to canonize you as the king. As long as you are loyal to your father, you can serve the empire well. The king is not a dream either."
I laughed: "That's it!"
Emperor Locke stepped down the steps, holding a scarlet long sword in his hand, and said, "General Li, this is a sword of cavalry, built by a good empire. There are only three swords of this kind in the entire Tianling Empire. One is at Theodore, the other is at Oun, and the other is this one. Now, I plan to give it to you to be your saber, and you only need to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" I asked with a slight smile.
The Great Emperor Locke stretched out his hand and waved his aura, saying: "I only want you to kneel to my knees and be a minister to me. From now on, you, Li Xiaoyao, will only be loyal to me Locke, take my orders as supreme, and obey me. Every order protects the imperial power and allows the Locke family to live forever in the Tianling Empire, can it?"
I was stunned, but the pride in my chest burst out, and smiled: "Bow my head and claim my subject? Actually, I was originally a subject of the empire, so I naturally bend my head to claim my subject."
Theodore was a little angry: "Li Xiaoyao, do you dare to agree?"
I looked up at him proudly and said: "Kneeling on one knee is a courtesy and a soldier's salute. Kneeling on both knees is absolutely impossible. I, Li Xiaoyao, kneel to the sky and kneel to my parents, but I don't kneel!"
"presumptuous!"
Ouen was also angry: "Li Xiaoyao, you dare to be rude to your father, you are looking for death!"
I shouted in a low voice: "At the beginning, when I joined the Cold and Wild Dragon City, I already made an oath to Liushuang. I will guard the Cold and Wild Dragon City for life, so I will never be loyal to another person again. Your Majesty, I hope you can I understand my difficulties, but I still want to serve the empire!"
There was a trace of murder and disappointment in Locke's eyes, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "General Li is really a young hero, okay... As you wish, you still lead the Imperial Forest Army and continue to fight for the empire. !"
I turned around and left.
…
Behind him came a quarrel between the two princes—
Theodore: "Father, how can this kid who is not willing to wait for him be retained as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army? Sister, you still speak for this kid, are you really fascinated by him?"
Peer: "Brother Emperor, I don't have one!"
Oun: "Father, Li Xiaoyao is unwilling to accept your kindness, I can't compare it to..."
Peier whispered: "Brother Erhuang, do you want to kill Li Xiaoyao? Please put this idea away. Li Xiaoyao is a dragoon general of the Cold and Wild Dragon City, and a direct disciple of Liushuang. Liushuang treats him very much. Respect and love, if... If you really want to kill Li Xiaoyao, then prepare to meet the vengeance of the fifteen dragoons from Frost and the Frost Dragon City!"
Locke: "Don't make any noise, let Li Xiaoyao go..."
Theodore said angrily: "Father, why are you so weak? Why are you so crazy for such a mad boy?"
Locke was also quite angry: "Theodore, remember who you are talking to! Li Xiaoyao's abilities are indeed second to none in the imperial army. We need such talents. Otherwise, should we rely on you for those in the Flame Dragon Legion? Will you resist other demons in the future? Don't think I don't know, those generals, which one did not raise more than 3 women in the emperor, and which one is not drunk?"
Theodore: "If the children are not supervised, the crime deserves death!"
"Humph!"
…
After leaving the palace, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that I am a player and I was born at ease. I want me to be loyal to this old guy and dream. I don’t want my future gaming career to be filled with all kinds of things. Bondage and pressure.
Walking on the streets of Tianling City, suddenly there was a ringing ring in the sky, and the new version was finally opened—
"Ding!"
System reminder: Please note that all players, the new version [All Under Heaven] has arrived, the entire continent will be in a state of chaos, players will face the attack of different demons and wars between countries, you can choose to be within the power of the main city Join any army and become a brave warrior. Players will receive a certain amount of merits when performing power missions. By virtue of merits, they can exchange for higher military positions and ranks. I wish you to become a brave warrior in the future. A famous generation!
…
Not long after the version was launched, the recruiting offices of the Yanlong Legion and Xia Yu Legion in the city were almost overcrowded. These two legions have the strongest strength and the largest number of people in Tianling City, but they are also the most difficult places to climb. The two ace legions have a high amount of food, so the players in Tianling City are still happy to join.
In the guild channel, there is already a lively chat—
Li Mu: "It's finally here!"
Wang Jian said: "The beautiful dragon cavalry captain of Cold and Wild Dragon City, the one named Qing Luo, has already dispatched more than a dozen people to accept players as garrisons in Cold and Wild Dragon City. According to Xiaoyao's intention, 2W people will be Slashing Dragon. Join now? While no one else comes to Cold and Wild Dragon City?"
I asked: "Now that the main force of Dragon Slashing is in the Cold and Wild Dragon City?"
Li Mu laughed: "Well, we calculated the time and came here half an hour ahead of time. The 1W iron blades are all riding, and the rest of the 1W elites are already coming."
I happily said: "That's good, Cold and Wild Dragon City recruits players to become soldiers. I am really not at ease when I change to another guild. By the way, what is going on in other guilds?"
Lin Wan'er said: "Most of the Jiuli City Guilds, such as Mythology, Trial, and Famous Family, have gone to join the Yanlong Legion. Most of the guilds such as Prague and Fengman intend to go to the Xia Yu Legion, and there are many staggered ones, which is not very clear."
I smiled and said, "I don't know what the daily tasks are after joining?"
Yue Qingqian chuckles: "I am the first player to join Cold and Wild Dragon City... Oh no, strictly speaking, it is the second one. The first one is Brother Xiaoyao, the daily task that Cold and Wild Dragon City gave me today. Yes... Well, go to the jungle to beat a wild bear and give it to the team, then practice archery in the shooting range, and hit the bullseye three times in a row to complete the daily task..."
Song Han was speechless: "The assassin still needs to practice archery?"
"Well, it means to improve the overall strength..."
"..."
…
I didn't ask any more, and went back to the garrison of the Imperial Forest Army alone.
The scythe and iron horse moved forward slowly, and the soldiers on both sides of the barracks saluted me respectfully. After the Battle of the Dragon Tomb, I showed my personal strength and command ability. Now my prestige in the Imperial Forest Army should be greatly improved. People who didn't convince me have finally changed. It seems that my life in the Imperial Forest Army will definitely get better and better.
In the Military Department, the candles in the chamber were still on. I opened the curtain and walked in. I found that a group of generals including Han Yuan, Xiao Li, and Song Li were still there.
Holding a king flag in his hand, Han Yuan smiled excitedly: "This is a treasure bestowed by Emperor Locke! Wang Qi, this is the glory of the king. I didn't expect our Royal Forest Army to receive this honor!"
Xiao Li looked at me, he was not only a brave general, but also a wise general. He was less brave than Han Yuan, but he was more wise. He smiled slightly and said, "Commander, your Majesty is not troubled by you, right?"
I shook my head and smiled: "No, how could it?"
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Li lowered his voice and said, "Did you not let you be loyal to him?"
I was startled slightly: "How do you know?"
Xiao Li smiled playfully: "The emperor's art is generally like this. Just like an adult who has a great talent and strategy, how can the emperor not let you be loyal to him? Commander, you shouldn't..."
I shook my head.
"Why?" Xiao Li was stunned: "Aren't you afraid of causing murder?"
I smiled heartily: "What's afraid of, I have always liked being free and accustomed to it. I don’t like to have to give up to anyone, unless it’s a woman I like. Besides, I’m not exactly a person in this world. I don’t have so many constraints, so I don’t care. Many, what I want to do is to train the Yulin Army to be a powerful division that can cross the world, and the rest is not important."
Xiao Li nodded: "The final general will definitely follow the adults and be determined!"
"Okay! The Imperial Forest Army lost a lot of people today. Are there any new additions?"
"have."
Xiao Li looked outside the camp tent, with a hint of chill in his eyes, and said: "The current establishment of the Yulin Army is about 1W. After the battle of the Dragon Tomb, His Majesty drew 5000 from the Yanlong Legion and Xia Yu Legion. Enriching the Imperial Forest Army, let us formally become a regular army of 2W personnel, but this also means... half of our Imperial Forest Army will not be with you, my lord."
I couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and said, "Why don't I let me recruit myself, this is obviously using those people to counter and balance us..."
Han Yuan said: "General, don't be angry. Being angry won't help. We can only take one step and look one step at a time."
I calmed down for a moment, and nodded gently: "Yeah."
