When Wang Jia arrived at the fortress, deafening drums immediately sounded in the fortress.
A deep and majestic voice sounded: "Open the door and welcome us!"
Dozens of thick black iron giant chains pulled, making a heavy mechanical sound.
A huge metal suspension bridge slowly lowered into the fortress's gate, landing on a deep and wide protective trench.
A tightly-fitted iron door opened outwards, and hundreds of cavalrymen wearing heavy armor and holding war guns rushed out of the fortress and quickly divided into two columns to surround Wang Jia.
A veteran in golden armor with white beard and hair, together with several generals also wearing golden armor and dozens of silver-armored lieutenants, came out of the fortress to greet him.
Lin Yun paid special attention. There were five generals wearing golden armor.
The other generals were all wearing silver armor.
As for ordinary soldiers, they all wear bronze armor or even black iron armor.
In the formation of the Southern Xia Kingdom, armor can represent status.
Among the generals in the entire Southern Xia Kingdom, there are only ten generals who can wear golden armor, and those are the generals of the ten armies.
The ten generals of the Zhenguo Army are not just the ten strong warrior kings. Each of them holds heavy troops and is in charge of at least one hundred thousand troops. It can be said that they represent all the military strength of the Southern Xia Kingdom.
Now, there are five generals in charge of the country in this border fortress, which means that there are at least 500,000 troops gathered here, which is equivalent to half of the strength of the Southern Xia Kingdom.
This shows how important this border fortress is to the Southern Xia Kingdom.
When all the soldiers came to the King of Nanxia, they all knelt on one knee and clasped their fists with their hands. Only a few of the golden-armored generals spoke.
"Old soldier Nangong died for his country, please see His Majesty the King!" The veteran general with white beard and hair said respectfully to the King of Nanxia.
"At the end of the war in the East, I would like to pay my respects to His Majesty the King!" said the golden-armored general with a horizontal scar on his face.
Hearing the name Nangong Shiguo, Lin Yun's expression moved slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the veteran with white beard and hair.
This veteran's face is covered with traces of time. He is at least a hundred years old, and his cultivation has reached the level of the third-level Martial King. In terms of qualifications and cultivation, he is the highest among the generals present.
Although Lin Yun joined the army not long ago, he had heard many times about Nangong's great deeds of dying for his country.
Nangong died for his country. He was the leader of the ten armies that controlled the country and was called the founding general.
When he was only eighteen years old, he followed the first king of Southern Xia in the north and south, assisted the king in conquering half of the kingdom, and contributed greatly to the founding of the country.
After that, he devoted himself to the front line continuously for eighty years. He went through tens of thousands of battles in his life, accumulated thousands of scars all over his body, and gained great fame and great achievements in battle.
He was loyal and courageous in guarding Southern Xia. He was devoted to serving the country without any second thought. He was unparalleled in bravery and strategizing. However, he never became famous for a day, never enjoyed happiness, never married anyone, and had no children.
He dedicated his whole life to the Southern Xia Kingdom and guarded the Nanxia border fortresses. He was a model soldier.
Even the second generation King of Southern Xia respected him extremely.
But at this time, he was calling himself an old soldier in front of the third generation King of Southern Xia. His humble attitude was impressive.
"Old General, please wake up quickly."
The King of Nanxia walked up to Nangong, who was martyred, and personally helped him up. He greeted him and said guiltily: "The old general has been guarding the front line for many years and has made great contributions. No one can control him. He has been in a high position and has never been distinguished for a day. I have succeeded to the throne.
How can I receive the old general's gift if I feel ashamed of myself?"
Nangong Martyr was not only a founding veteran general with great achievements, but he was also the elder of the King of Nanxia and the grandfather of the King of Nanxia. He could be regarded as the uncle of the King of Nanxia.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was public or private, the king of Nanxia had to respect Nangong for his sacrifice for the country.
The King of Nanxia respected Nangong's sacrifice for his country so much, but completely turned a blind eye to the other generals, which made other generals a little confused.
Especially during Dongfang Zhan, his face turned very ugly on the spot. But he kept his head down and no one could notice it.
Hearing the words of the King of Nanxia, Nangong's face darkened, and he quickly and stubbornly corrected him: "The king is a king, and a general is a general. How dare an old soldier violate the etiquette?"
The King of Nanxia was also well aware of the stubborn temper of this veteran general, so he did not say much on this topic and immediately said to the soldiers: "All soldiers are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the soldiers stood up one after another.
The King of Nanxia then said to Nangong Shiguo: "This time I came to the border fortress not only for inspection, but also to bring Yan'er out to see the world so that she can become familiar with military power as soon as possible."
After the King of Nanxia finished speaking, Nangong Yan behind him took a step forward, clasped his fists respectfully to Nangong who died for his country, and said: "Yan'er has met the old general, and hopes that the old general will take care of him."
Although Nangong Yan is a princess, she has no airs of a princess at all, and she respects Nangong Yan very much for her country's sacrifice.
This is not only because Nangong Shiguo dedicated his life to the Kingdom of Nanxia. It is also because Nangong Shiguo is the ancestor of Nangong Yan. It is completely appropriate for Nangong Yan to be respectful to him.
"The princess is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the old soldiers cannot afford it. If the princess asks for anything, just give her orders, and the old soldiers must do the hard work of the dogs and horses." Nangong Xie paid his respects to Nangong Yan and said more respectfully.
Nangong Yan respectfully replied: "Old general, you are humble. The old general has made great achievements in battle and devoted himself to the country. He has won Yan'er's admiration. Yan'er's worship is deserved."
The King of Nanxia coughed dryly, and then introduced Lin Yun to everyone: "This is the new general of the country. His name is Lin Yun, and he is the leader of the four evildoers in the royal city."
Hearing the words of the King of Nanxia, Nangong Shiguo was completely stunned, and then looked at Lin Yun with a face full of surprise.
The other soldiers present also looked at Lin Yun with strange expressions on their faces, as if they were looking at something incredible.
Lin Yun seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was so young that he was completely arrogant and his level was only that of a second-level martial artist.
No one would have thought that such a young boy would be the new general of the country.
"Your Majesty, this..." Nangong Shiguo did not mean to discriminate against Lin Yun, but the duty of subduing the Tenth Army was very important. How could a young man with insufficient strength and qualifications be qualified for the job?
The King of Nanxia obviously saw Nangong's doubts about martyrdom, and immediately explained to him: "Old general, don't worry, although Lin Yun is young, his strategy is better than that of the ministers, and although his cultivation is not high, his strength is comparable to that of King Wu. His ability
It has been approved by this king and the three kings."
Hearing the words of the King of Nanxia, all the soldiers present could not help but secretly dumbfounded. They all looked at Lin Yun with shocked eyes, their eyes filled with disbelief.
How vicious are the eyes of the Three Lords?
How demanding are their requirements?
That can almost be described as perverted!
It’s really hard to believe that he can be recognized by the King of Nanxia and the Three Lords. How evil is this young man?!
