Entering the palace, far away, the main hall is full of guards with swords glowing on both sides. It seems that even after Oun succeeded to the throne, even the guards in the palace have been sent a lot. A chief guard stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "My lord, please disarm your weapons and horses, otherwise you will not be able to enter the hall!"
I was stunned for a moment. Originally, there was no such rule when Locke was in power. The generals who are qualified to go to the palace are usually heavy ministers of the empire. There is no need to worry about the assassination. It seems that Oun’s sense of security is too low, even this. All kinds of regulations have come out.
With a flash of my hand, I already put the Dragon Pond Sword and Zhenyue Sword in my bag, and then put the Shen Lie Long Ma into the pet space, and walked up to the main hall with my bare hands. There are only more than a dozen ministers on the main hall. Ouen is steady. Sitting on the throne, behind him is Jiu Xi, who is in charge of the power of the world. Ten agile guards guard Owen behind him, while Princess Pel is standing under the steps on the right side of the king's throne, without any expression on her face. , Just looked at me from a distance.
…
"The Imperial Forest Army leads Li Xiaoyao!"
O'en slowly stood up from the throne, and said, "This time you went to the Barbarian Tribe of the Eight Desolation City to recruit soldiers for meritorious service. What kind of reward do you want? Even though, loneliness will not be stingy."
I always felt the insincerity that could not be hidden in these words, and bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I don't need any rewards to contribute to the empire. It is the responsibility of the empire's generals to make the army stronger!"
"good!"
The corner of Ou'en's mouth raised, revealing a smile that made people unable to see through, and said: "Li Xiaoyao commander is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is a role model for the empire's soldiers. Come, reward Axe!"
The so-called axe is actually a symbol of military merit. A prop hanging in the army can probably increase the morale of the imperial army, right
The guard on the side helped me pick up the axe, and I bowed again to thank you.
Owen continued: "After Sellin died, the surface of the sea that did not return to the sea has been calm, but recently, dark moon spirits from the north began to cast warships. The archery skills of these dark moon spirits are unparalleled in the world. The city and Mochizuki looted all the way, making the Iron Skull Empire and Mochizuki Empire miserable. If they continue to wreak havoc, sooner or later they will threaten the coastal safety of Tianling City. These moon spirits from the Dark Moon Spirit Realm total about 10W. People, their archery skills are extraordinary, even the alien demon army retreats to them, but the majesty of the Tianling Empire cannot be desecrated. Which general is willing to fight for the empire to conquer this group of dark moon spirits?"
Xu Yi, the new commander of the Yanlong Army, went out and said with a fist: "Your Majesty, the Yulin Army has nearly a hundred warships. It is the most elite navy in the empire. The final general thinks that the Yulin Army should be dispatched to fight. Li Xiaoyao will be able to conquer the battle. With a triumphant victory, the little moonling ladies dare not infringe upon the territory of my Tianling Empire!"
I looked up at Xu Yi, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army has been fighting continuously without returning to the sea, the deer lake, the awe-inspiring plains, and the barbarian tribes. They can always stop and open up wasteland in the Fire Crystal Basin. The soldiers are tired and need a period of rest before they can fight again, and... Since the Dark Moon Spirit is on a warship, we must have a very strong navy. Why don’t we set up camps along the coast to deal with them as we wait? Our army With the abundant resources of Tianling City behind him, the Dark Moon Spirit simply cannot fight us for a long time."
Princess Peier stepped forward and clasped her fist and said: "Brother Emperor, what Li Xiaoyao said is not unreasonable. We don't have to compete with the Dark Moon Spirit in the Sea of No Return. What's more, although the Sea-Monster Clan has been dormant, it is not unreasonable. It doesn't mean that all the Sea-Monster tribes have been killed. Once the Sea-Monster tribe participates in the war, the warship we dispatched on the sea is simply to die."
Ou En smiled slightly: "I understand, that's it, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Li Xiaoyao, listen to the order!"
I clasped my fists: "Yes."
Owen said, "Let you rest for half a month for the Yulin Army, and leave for the expedition after half a month. I don't care what method the Yulin Army uses, but I must drive the Dark Moon Spirit warship 100 miles away from the territory of Tianling City, otherwise it will be the Yulin Army. Dereliction of duty!"
I took a deep breath: "The Royal Forest Army takes the order!"
Standing next to Pei Er, I frowned. Owen imposed the task of Dark Moon Spirit on the head of the Imperial Forest Army. Grandma's. After becoming the emperor, Owen seemed to have also changed from the shrewd and powerful Xia Yu army commander to I gave a hand to the shopkeeper, but fortunately, he didn't openly tear his face with me, otherwise, with his current position, I would have nothing to do.
Next, we are discussing matters again. They are all wars on the border between the two countries. The three main cities of Mochizuki City, Linhai City, and Huoyun City are already in contact with Tianling City. They are all partial battles, but they also indicate A storm is coming, and the Hero Wings World Finals are all over. Can the national war be far behind
…
When night fell, leaving the Tianling City Palace, the atmosphere inside was too depressing.
Back at the Imperial Forest Army camp, Han Yuan and Xiao Li immediately came forward and asked me what the emperor had said. They seemed to be very sensitive, knowing that the Imperial Forest Army was already on the cusp of the storm.
I didn’t say anything about the emperor’s meaning. I just said: "The army in the Dark Moon Spirit Territory has gone out to sea, and is sailing to plunder the humans on the southern shore at the sea of no return. The emperor has delegated the task of resisting the dark moon spirit to the Yulin Army, you guys. Immediately go to the city to recruit craftsmen, immediately go to the sea of no return, and build ten small city forts on the coastline. The city fortresses are defended by dragon crystal cannons and igneous rock cannons. Each garrison 1000 troops, and then build a port to resist Dark Moon Spirit."
Han Yuan nodded: "Yes, General!"
Xiao Li frowned, "Dark Moon Spirit is also about to move?"
Me: "What happened to the Dark Moon Spirit?"
Xiao Li said: "Dark Moon Spirits are a cursed race. Legend has it that they are the unclean products of gods and humans. However, Dark Moon Spirits are all uniform girls who have practiced archery since they were young. With a beautiful face and a graceful figure, it is a miracle that one or two dark moon spirits occasionally appear on the mainland for decades, and once these dark moon spirits are caught by humans, they will most likely be chained by iron chains. Probably because of this, the dark moon spirit hates mankind abnormally. General, Your Majesty has given us this task. It is really a hot potato!"
I nodded: "I know too, but I must obey."
"Yes, I finally understand!"
…
Until the evening, the craftsmen's speed was very fast. The rudiments of fortresses have been built on the edge of the sea. The surrounding teams of the imperial forest are carrying stones, artillery, etc., and at the same time sending out light boats to search the sea. Once the warship of the Dark Moon Spirit appears, we will be alerted immediately.
Riding on the mighty dragon horse, I carried my sword and walked on the coastline, looking at the northern ocean, I couldn't help but sigh. This game is really too mature, and it makes me a little obsessed with this kind of life of military horses. Or is there really a passionate and warlike heart hidden deep in my heart
Behind me followed the hundred guards sent to me by Han Yuan. They were all outstanding ones. Although I didn’t want to, Han Yuan said that the commander should look like a commander, always alone. It’s too unsafe to go alone. In fact, I look at the NPC soldiers behind me. The tallest one is at the Archaic level. There is not even a quasi-boss. I’m afraid I can’t beat myself...
At this moment, suddenly an imperial forest army cavalry flew over from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, a man who claims to be from the Marquis of Tianling City wants to see you, do you need to see?"
I was startled: "Let him come!"
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, a fat man weighing about 300 kilograms galloped over under the protection of a group of guards. His weight did not crush the horse under the crotch. I saw that it was a great horse, the Marquis lord. He looks very rich, but what is he doing here
The fat man rode his horse forward, looked at me in a stern posture, and said, "Are you Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"
I nodded: "It's me, are you?"
He laughed, and said shyly, "I don't even know about me? I am Ben Yue Hou, who was personally canonized by the previous emperor. This is my token, and General Li is optimistic!"
I glanced at the token, it did look like a moon, and there was also a picture of a graceful woman flying into the sky. I couldn't help frowning and said, "Is this Chang'e..."
Ben Yuehou smiled: "General Li really remembered well, yes, this Chang'e was a peerless goddess who flew to the moon in ancient times. It is said that she has the most beautiful face and the most charming body in the world. , The great emperor gave me the name of flying to the moon so that I can one day fly to the moon, invite this goddess to the earth, and spend the night with the emperor!"
I finally couldn't help but grin.
Ben Yuehou looked at me bitterly: "General Zhennan, why are you smiling?"
I held back a smile, and said with a serious face: "So, the true meaning of Lord Hou, who is flying to the moon, is to search for the beauties of the world for your majesty?"
Benyuehou laughed and admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, Benyuehou is for this, so Li Xiaoyao leads me to tell you straight. I'm here this time to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" I raised my eyebrows.
Ben Yuehou’s face was full of lewdness, and he smiled: "The Royal Forest Army will inevitably fight the Dark Moon Spirit in the near future. If you capture a living Dark Moon Spirit girl in the battle, don’t kill it, sell it to Benhou, how? A grown-up dark moon spirit, I will buy... Well, 5000 gold coins to buy, no, I am willing to buy 10,000 gold coins, there is no upper limit, how?"
I was stunned: "It looks like Benyuehou is really rich. The entire army of the Imperial Forest Army has only hundreds of thousands of gold coins. How would you like to buy Dark Moon Spirit for 10,000 gold coins?"
The corner of Ben Yuehou's mouth raised, and he continued to sullen his stomach and said, "How can a martial artist like you understand the joy between the bedspreads? You just need to answer me, are you willing to sell the dark moon spirit to me?"
I turned around and looked at No Return to the Sea. I couldn't help feeling disgusted in my heart. I smiled and said, "I am only responsible for defending No Return to the Sea and protecting the empire's territory. I am not a businessman. I don't want to find me for this kind of things."
"Humph!"
Ben Yuehou sneered: "General Li, you can do it yourself!"
