"What are Yun Piaopiao doing in the Ice and Fire Wasteland?" I was stunned.
War Eagle Cavalry said: "General Xia Ye said that the Fire Lion mercenaries have more than 200,000 soldiers, which is a force that is difficult to control. When Yun Piaopiao went to the Ice and Fire Wasteland, he must have gone to have a private meeting with the leader of the Fire Lion mercenaries."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go back to Fan Book City right away."
"Yes, sir!"
…
I was faster than the War Eagle Cavalry Detective. I pulled out the city management interface of Fanshu City and could directly choose to return to the city. After a ray of light, I was already in Fanshu City. I summoned the divine dragon and horse and rode straight to the Royal Forest Army camp. After entering the Chinese army
, Han Yuan, Xiao Li and other 11 captains of the Royal Forest Army were already waiting there. They all clasped their fists and said: "General, you are here!"
I nodded, sat on the coach's seat, and said, "Yun Piaopiao is Qian Lin's cousin. Once Luo Xun died, Yun Piaopiao became Qian Lin's only relative, so we pardoned her crime and let her
Continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Army, but Yun Piaopiao still remembers her hatred for me forcing Luo Xun to death, and she will definitely not let it go. She has already begun to win over Xu Yan, the commander of the Kuanglei Army, and now she has gone to the Ice and Fire Wasteland. As expected,
If it is true, we went to find the Fire Lion Mercenary Group. What strategies do you have to deal with it?"
Han Yuan said: "Send out the war eagle cavalry archers, intercept her halfway, shoot her directly, and it will be over!"
The corner of Long Jing's mouth raised: "Great idea."
I was speechless: "Although it is indeed good, the ones Yun Piaopiao brought must be the top masters of the Dragon Army. Once we miss one of them, our plan will be exposed, and if we bring too many people, it will also attract attention. The same
We can't kill her secretly. The most important thing is that Qian Lin doesn't want to kill Yun Piaopiao out of consideration for her brother-sister relationship. If we do it for her, we will definitely make him resentful."
As I spoke, I breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Below the Fire God Mountain, I forced Luo Xun to commit suicide, which has already left a shadow in Qian Lin's heart. If we continue to kill Yun Piaopiao secretly, I'm afraid Qian Lin will really think that our Imperial Guards
I will make myself king."
Xia Ye said: "Since the general said that, we don't have any better way. Why don't we, the Royal Forest Army, also send a team of troops and bring generous gifts to the Ice and Fire Wasteland to meet the Fire Lion Mercenary Group and make an alliance with them?
In this way, they will not be attracted by the Dragon Army. Our Royal Forest Army has strong soldiers and 120,000 troops. If the people of the Fire Lion Mercenary Group are not stupid, they should understand that there is no benefit in going against us."
"Yeah." I nodded: "Xia Ye's method is the most feasible, but what kind of gifts should we prepare?"
Xiao Li smiled slightly: "The Fire Lion Mercenary Group has been stationed in the wilderness. It is located in a barren land and can only rely on robbing border merchants to make a living. We only need to prepare 100,000 gold coins, plus 2,000 cattle and sheep.
That’s it.”
Me: "Okay, get ready now, and set off as soon as you're ready!"
"yes!"
I stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "Xia Ye will lead 1,000 heavy cavalry to come with me... just in case something unexpected happens, Han Yuan and Xiao Li will order 50,000 troops to go into the Ice and Fire Wasteland to support them. If anything unexpected happens, they will launch an attack immediately.
If we cannot win over the Fire Lion Mercenary Group, then we will destroy them in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Commander!"
…
About half an hour later, a transport team of 1,000 heavy cavalry left Fanshu City, crossed the Vulcan Mountain and entered the Fire and Ice Wasteland. Three large vehicles were filled with 10,000 gold coins. In addition, there were 2,000 cattle and sheep driven by the heavy cavalry.
, I was riding at the front of the team riding the Shen Lie Dragon Horse, while Xia Ye was holding a pole, looking a bit like an envoy.
Along the way, the wilderness was constantly windy.
Xia Ye squinted his eyes and looked into the distance and said: "General, this ice and fire wasteland is very vast. It is called the Western Wasteland by Tianling City. There are a total of 27 tribes in the wasteland, large and small, called the survivors. They have been living a nomadic life.
Therefore, there is no city. Only the Fire Lion Mercenary Group built a city in the wilderness, called "Lion City". There are about 1 million people living in the Lion City, which supports the 200,000 people of the Fire Lion Mercenary Group. They are in the surrounding areas.
The livestock husbandry, farming, and strength are so strong that the borders of the three major cities of Tianling City, Zeyuan City, and Wangyue City have been repeatedly harassed, but they are unwilling to send troops to attack the Fire Lion Mercenaries."
I nodded: "Speed up the march, don't be too slow."
"yes!"
More than three hours later, we have reached the depths of the Ice and Fire Wasteland. In the distance, a fiery red city appears on the distant horizon. It looks like a burning city, but in fact it is.
The outer periphery of this city is cast with hard red copper, just like the Fire Elephant City, and its defense should be good.
The sound of bagpipes came from the distance, and herds of all sizes also appeared. The moment we approached the city, the surroundings changed from wasteland to fertile fields. We marched among the rice fields, and the fragrance of rice was refreshing. I also felt a little
I increased my speed and walked on the central avenue leading to the Lion City.
Not long after we moved forward, a checkpoint appeared in front of us. About 200 Fire Lion mercenaries were guarding here. Looking at our 1,000 troops, they had obviously been on guard for a long time. The archers standing on the archery tower and fortress were already at war with each other.
, a cavalryman with an officer's insignia on his shoulder came on horseback and shouted in a low voice: "In this important place of the Lion City, peripheral troops are not allowed to enter. Who are you!"
Xia Ye poked the knot into the luggage on the side of the war horse, cupped his fists and said: "Please let this general inform us that the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Forest Army of the Tianling Empire, Duke Broken Ding Li Xiaoyao, has personally come to visit the Lord of the Lion City, Fire Lion Mercenary
Regiment leader, General Huo!"
The officer on the other side was startled: "The Broken Cauldron Duke Li Xiaoyao is here in person to visit?"
I smiled on the horse, took out my token, and said, "Want to verify it?"
He was a little nervous and said awkwardly: "No, Mr. Sui Ding is too polite. Please come in. However, the Lion City has its own rules. The number of outside troops cannot exceed a hundred people, but the Royal Forest Army came at least 1,000 people!"
Xia Ye looked at me and whispered: "General, what should I do?"
Without thinking, I said, "Then choose a hundred people to follow me in!"
"yes!"
…
Xia Ye directly called the first team of a hundred people to follow us into the Lion City. They are indeed elite, almost all Templar Knights. With them accompanying us, even if the Fire Lion mercenaries attack, we can probably escape from the city. Anyway,
I have no problem, Qian Shuang Transformation Wings are activated, no one can stop me from leaving.
Xia Ye still held the staff and led a group of people to drive cattle and sheep and pull trucks into the Lion City. When we entered the Lion City, we found that the place was indeed not wealthy. Many civilians in the city lived a life of scanty clothing. The Lion City
The resources around the city are poor, and there is not much land to cultivate, and there are not many business travelers to do business. Naturally, the fabrics and silks are not as good as Tianling City.
A mercenary captain led a group of us straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The Lion City is not too big and can cross the north and south in less than 20 minutes. When we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, we found that the City Lord's Mansion was extremely luxurious.
It even surpassed the grandeur of the Tianling City Palace. White jade pillars towered into the sky, and below were a row of well-equipped soldiers guarding them. When we came to the front of the Baiyu Gate, a man carrying a
The general of Tomahawk shouted: "Stop! Do you understand the rules? Remove your weapons for me, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the general's mansion!"
I quietly put the Butterfly and the Zhenyue Sword into my bag, waved my hand and said, "Leave the weapon."
"General..."
Xia Ye frowned and said, "Without weapons, once they attack, we can only be reduced to fish on the chopping board!"
Me: "Don't worry, they don't dare to be presumptuous."
"yes!"
A group of royal guards disarmed their weapons one after another, and followed me into the general's palace carrying heavy boxes filled with gold coins. It was said to be a general's palace, but it was no different from the palace. There were many steps. Fortunately, the ones I brought were all Templars.
They won't be out of breath from carrying heavy boxes. Their cultivation is much better than these fire lion mercenaries.
…
Entering the main hall, in the center of the main hall is a group of maids dancing. Each of these women is just like the poor people outside, but they are not fully clothed in another sense. The thin gauze can hardly cover the body.
Covering her beautiful body and dancing beautifully, this yōhui really knows how to enjoy it.
"Commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Tianling Empire, Lord Broken Ding Li Xiaoyao pays his respects!" A soldier shouted loudly.
Suddenly, another voice sounded: "You all, please step back!"
"yes!"
A group of dancers retreated one after another, and I finally saw the true face of the leader of the Fire Lion Mercenaries. He was a big man about 35 years old, with a beard, a level 177 sub-god BOSS, and his strength was very good, compared to
Han Yuan, Xiao Li and others are more powerful, and Xia Ye beside me is obviously no match.
Wearing golden armor, he slowly stood up and said with a smile: "The General's visit has made our Lion City shine. I wonder what the General has brought to the Lion City?"
I slowly stepped forward and said: "Last time, Qian Lin mentioned General Yuhuo to me. Our Tianling City and Lion City have actually been repaired a long time ago, so this time I came to visit with 100,000 gold coins and 2,000 cattle and sheep.
Friends from the Lion City, I hope to sign an alliance with General Huo Huo. The Fire Lion mercenaries will advance and retreat together with our Royal Forest Army, just like brothers, okay?"
Yanhuo laughed: "I see, aha... The general is a guest from afar, and the generals of the Royal Forest Army must be tired. The general is hosting a banquet to entertain the general. It just so happens that there are several other visitors, so why not
Let’s have a banquet together.”
"How many other visitors?"
I frowned. Yun Piaopiao must have arrived before us. Besides this woman, who else was there?
…
Yanhuo waved his sleeves and led a group of us Royal Guardsmen into the side hall. It was still a very spacious place, surrounded by splendor and splendor. In fact, it was not us who came here, but the place was still as dazzling. Xia Ye ordered the Templar Knights to guard the side hall.
There were only a few people left around me to enter the banquet with me. The banquet was very large and could accommodate at least 40 people. However, there was always a feeling that the banquet was not a good one.
