In this way, the trip to Luming Cave ended successfully. My biggest gain was that I got the Hero Helmet, the first ghost weapon. The special effects of the Heroic Heart were really amazing. Dong Chengyue got the Luming Staff, and Li Mu got the After getting the Purple Flame Dragon Bone Chain and having the special skill of Death Imprisonment, all the major players have gained something.
Holding Qin Lu's antlers in my hands, I said: "Let's go back to Tianling City, and then we go to the king to hand in the mission together. The SSS-level main mission, maybe there will be some good rewards."
Everyone nodded: "Let's go."
The next moment, flashes of light rippled in the teleportation square of Tianling City. 20 people from Zhanlong completed the teleportation together. I got on my horse and led everyone to the palace. There were patrolling cavalry teams everywhere along the way. Tianling The financial and material resources of the city are far better than those of Bahuang City. After all, it is a first-class main city. There are not so many guards and patrols in Bahuang City. Even the palace is a lot shabby. Where can there be such splendor as Tianling City? a feeling of.
Walking up the gilded steps to the palace hall, there were guards holding swords on both sides. These guards stared at us with bright eyes and checked the emblems on the shoulders of our group. Only players from Tianling City can enter if they are all confirmed. Otherwise, he would probably be hacked to death with random swords.
Above the main hall, there was a scene of singing and dancing. Emperor Locke seemed to be entertaining his ministers. A group of court ladies in thin gauze skirts danced in the center of the main hall. Their graceful limbs danced in various enchanting postures, which made a group of princes and ministers smile. Emperor Locke was sitting on the throne, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, with a blush on his face, and said with a smile: "Today I am hosting a banquet for you ministers. I hope you will not get drunk. I will trouble you with all the affairs of the empire in the future."
Immediately, a bearded man stood up, clasped his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The 30,000 private troops in the Weichen fiefdom must follow the leadership of the empire. Once Your Majesty is in need, my 30,000 troops will definitely step forward to drink blood without hesitation."
Emperor Locke laughed: "Grand Duke Long Qian, please sit down. Your thoughts are already known to me."
On the first seat next to the table, the eldest prince Theodore pressed the hilt of his sword, raised the corner of his mouth, and sneered and whispered: "This man only knows how to attack meritoriously. When Hanhuang Dragon City is under siege, But there is no trace of his private army. If we talk about boasting, he must be the number one person in the Tianling Empire."
Princess Pei'er cast her gaze from a distance and whispered: "Brother, be careful what you say..."
The second prince Ouen on the side was very silent. He just picked up the wine glass and drank the grape wine in one gulp. After a few seconds, he said calmly: "The strange demons in the north are already ready to move. I don't know how long the peace and prosperity can last. , I hope this expensive banquet will really make these vassals come up with their own troops."
Pei'er smiled slightly: "Brother two emperors, don't worry too much. It will definitely be okay. After all, once the empire collapses, they still understand that there will be no eggs left intact."
"I hope so." Ouen said: "Recently, there have been scattered armies of alien demons that have crossed the Ice Ridge Mountains and entered the empire. Fortunately, there are adventurers everywhere to kill them, but I think the army of alien demons has It won’t be too long before we launch another attack on Hanhuang Dragon City. If we don’t have a 200,000-strong army, I’m afraid we won’t be able to withstand the second offensive organized by Darren and Lana Thel in any case.”
Theodore frowned and said: "Isn't there Liushuang guarding the Hanhuang Dragon City? She has the power of a higher god in her body, so it shouldn't be so easy to break through the Dragon City."
Ou En said calmly: "Liu Shuang's power of the upper god has not yet fully awakened. If you fight one strange demon king alone, you will definitely win, but if there are two of them, it will be dangerous. Even if you add the Red Dragon Queen, Hanhuang Dragon City will be able to resist it at best. There are three strange demon kings joining forces to attack, but... there are still 14 strange demon kings in the north. A month ago, Liushuang sent the dragon knight captain Qingluo to Tianling City to request reinforcements and equipment, and asked us to give them 10,000 pieces. Weapons, 3,000 war horses, in addition to food, craftsmen, and a number of civilians."
Theodore said: "Well, I have already informed my father about this matter. If Hanhuang Longcheng's request is not too excessive, I will agree to it. After all..."
Suddenly, Theodore raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the princes and ministers who were having a banquet in the distance, and said with a smile: "After all, Hanhuang Dragon City only asked us for weapons, war horses and supplies, but never asked for beauties or gold. This proves that The Cold Desolate Dragon City is still the first barrier in the fight for mankind, and it is also a cold and bitter fortress tempered by steel."
Ou En deeply agreed and nodded: "Well, I very much agree with the emperor's words. Pei'er, I will leave it to you to contact Hanhuang Dragon City to provide them with supplies. I will also dispatch my Xia Yu legion. The troops are stationed close to Hanhuang Dragon City and can respond to them at any time, but..."
Theodore: "Nothing."
"I just don't know if Angela, the little princess of Bahuang City, will be willing to allow my army to be stationed in Bahuang City." Ouen said worriedly.
Pei'er smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Angela and I have written letters. If we only station troops near Hanhuang Dragon City, she won't have any objections."
"That's good..." Theodore looked at the old king, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and said: "Tianling City is our home, and we must protect her even if we shed all our blood."
Pei'er: "Well..."
…
At this time, a group of us dismounted one after another. We did not dare to act recklessly in the main hall. I was walking in front, leading the 19 people who killed the dragon. Before we even got close, we were stopped by a general wearing battle armor: "Who is this?" ,Didn’t you see that His Majesty is entertaining the ministers?"
The words "Longxiang General Li Shi" appeared above this man's head, and he was an NPC general. However, General Longxiang did not seem to be very tall, at least not as high as a general, and he was so arrogant.
I stepped forward and said, "We found a treasure with a reward in Tianling City, so we brought it to the king."
Li Shi smiled contemptuously: "You can get the reward treasure, it's just because of you."
At this time, Princess Pei'er suddenly stood up and scolded: "General Li Shi, please respect the adventurers of Tianling City. Don't forget who killed those monsters in Tianling City. The Royal Forest Army under your general Li Shi."
Li Shi's face looked a little ugly: "It's... Her Royal Highness Princess Pei'er."
However, the moment Li Shi sat down, I saw a hint of resentment on his face, and heard him say secretly: "You bitch, why are you putting on this air for me? I'll wait until I get you." It would be weird if I didn’t make you want to die."
I sneered, the situation in Tianling City was really undercurrent.
At this time, Emperor Locke finally spoke and said: "Adventurer, what have you obtained? Bring it up to the lonely king."
I took out the antlers from the package and said, "My men and I fought into Luming Cave, killed Qin Lu, and captured its antlers. These antlers should also be a treasure on the empire's reward list."
"What,."
Emperor Locke trembled all over and said: "You...you really killed Qin Lu, Theodore, go check it out."
The eldest prince stepped forward, took the antlers, then turned around and said: "Father, these are indeed Qin Lu's antlers, and the spiritual power on them is very strong."
With that said, Theodore turned to look at Longxiang General Li Shi and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, General Li led 5,000 heavily armored imperial guards to Luming Cave to kill Qin Lu half a year ago. The result was a complete defeat. Not only did we lose more than 200 people, but we also threw away a lot of baggage and weapons. I don’t know if I remember correctly.”
Princess Pei'er also smiled and said: "The strength of this group of adventurers is really amazing. At least it has surpassed our imperial guards."
With that said, Pei'er turned to look at the king and said: "Father, my daughter suggested that we reorganize the Imperial Guard Army of the Tianling City Empire and select warriors from adventurers to join the Imperial Guard Army to protect the security of the Imperial City and the border."
Emperor Locke nodded and smiled: "Well, Pei'er's words are very much what I want."
Pei'er said: "Originally, the Royal Forest Army was composed of some noble children. Those who claimed the honor of knights often did not have much power. This is also one of the reasons why the Royal Forest Army has loose discipline and poor combat effectiveness. If it could be selected from among the adventurers, If a strong person takes on the responsibility of the Royal Guards, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. However, I suggest that General Li should no longer be in charge of the reorganized Imperial Guards."
Emperor Locke nodded: "Okay, as you want, General Li Shi will be promoted to a partial general and sent to Xia Yu's army to serve. However, Pei'er, do you have any suggestions for the new commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army?"
Pei'er stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of me. I hid, but she still pointed at me and said with a smile: "Father, this adventurer made great contributions in the defense war of Hanhuang Dragon City, and He has also completed many difficult tasks for the empire, and he is even Liu Shuang's personal disciple. She also mentioned him in my correspondence with Liu Shuang, and he is worthy of the important task."
Emperor Locke looked at me and asked with a smile: "Young warrior, what is your name?"
I touched my nose and said, "Li Xiaoyao."
"Okay, Li Xiaoyao." Emperor Locke waved his sleeves and said, "You have retrieved Qinlu's antlers for the empire and eliminated a great evil for the empire. Now, my personal reward for you is to let you serve as the commander of the Royal Forest Army. It's up to you, if you wish."
…
I stood there in astonishment. Lin Wan'er, Dong Chengyue, Li Mu and others were also stunned. They didn't seem to have expected that the mission reward would be like this.
"Ding."
System prompt: After serving as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, he has level 5, a charm value of 100, and has the power to recruit sergeants on his own. His responsibility is to patrol the security of the empire and spend at least 30 minutes in the military camp every day to clean up the military. In the event of a war, You need to personally lead your troops to defend against the enemy. Are you willing to become the commander of the imperial army?
