Seven hundred and ninety-six chapters What is the crime?
Tianling City is already in a state of war. The city is much more tense than before. The vendors do not dare to shout too loudly, as if they are afraid that strange monsters will fall from the sky and destroy them.
…
After repairing the equipment, replenishing the potions, we immediately picked up our swords and left the city. Li Mu, Wang Jian, Lin Wan'er and others arrived one after another. After the Battle of No Return Sea, our attrition was very serious. At present, there are only 1,500 Iron Blades left to fight. Cavalry, plus 2,000 miscellaneous cavalry, plus other professional players, the total number is about 7,000. However, if you only attack the blood giant Kyle, just relying on more people is useless. This level of BOSS obviously requires powerful NPCs. To assist in the attack, but fortunately we have Liushuang, so it shouldn't be difficult.
There were temporary tents set up everywhere in the Gale Wind Forest. Wild bears, badgers and other wild beasts were too scared to come out. The Gale Wind Forest was almost completely occupied by human soldiers. They continued to move forward. After rushing out of a bush, , we were stunned by the scene in front of us.
Ahead is a lake area, the legendary Deer Lake, a lake where Tianling City leads directly to the Sea of No Return. At this time, the Deer Lake is full of densely packed warships. Those are all warships made by the Reverend Empire. It was a warship built by Luo Lin's subordinates to counterattack humans. On top of the warship stood a demon swordsman and level 4 strange demons, densely packed. The tail of each warship was held by ropes. At the end are actually stone-skinned giants, NND, these giants just never returned to the sea.
The giant's vitality is very tenacious. Although he cannot swim, he cannot drown. The IQ of the strange demon territory cannot be compared with that of humans, but stupid people have stupid methods. When I saw this situation, it almost made me laugh.
However, these stupid-looking giants left the major legions in Tianling City helpless. A large number of soldiers from the Flame Dragon Legion and Xia Yu Legion were guarding both sides of the bank, with continuous artillery fire and arrows flying, but they still could not stop the blood giant legion. After landing, a group of demon swordsmen rushed ashore and strangled the NPC soldiers on the shore.
"There is still a chance to earn merit points." Li Mu smiled and quickly pulled out the Zhenhai Sword: "It's not in vain that I go back to the city to fully repair the Zhenhai Sword's durability. Brothers, prepare to fight."
Currently, only a few guilds have built positions here to fight against the strange demons. The jungle around Deer Lake has almost been leveled, and all the trees have been cut down to make antlers and other tools. There are corpses everywhere on the shore. This place has experienced several tragic events. After the battle, there were only a few small guilds scattered here to resist the attacks of strange demons.
The arrival of Dragon Slayer's 7,000 men was undoubtedly a new force. 1,500 Iron Blade Cavalry cleared the way and built a position on the edge of Deer Lake. Pot hangers, archers, etc. were all in place, and began to attract the Demon Spirit Great Sword Master to come and kill. The Demon Spirit Great Sword Master was Level 4 strange demons are not as powerful as the Deep Sea Yaksha of the Sea of No Return, and the Walrus Cavalry is much easier to kill. The remaining 1,500 Iron Blade Cavalry of Zhanlong are all truly elites who have been hardened, and at least half of them are equipped with ink flame sleeves. , not to mention the treatment of the Hanging Pot Master, which is enough to kill the Demon Spirit Great Sword Master without dying.
I raised my sword and rushed to the lakeside, killing the demon sword masters one by one. Then my long-range skills attracted the giants of level 5 strange demons to come ashore. Several iron blade knights surrounded one and slashed them, knocking them down three times, five times and two times. Once the merit is obtained, then continue to look for new goals.
…
We have been online for nearly 20 hours continuously, but we don’t seem to feel tired. From the beginning of the battle on the Sea of No Return to now, the battle has been tense, without giving us any chance to breathe. The battle here in Luhu will not end. The version defense mission is not over yet, it's still early, and I'm secretly excited. This time three major BOSSs were dispatched in the strange demon territory. Luo Lin didn't show up, the blood giant Kyle was in the deer lake, and Selin was killed. Well, if I can kill another Kyle this time and kill two king-level strange demons in one fell swoop, it will be a great achievement.
The power of strange demons has always been a pain for players. The National War is about to take place. If we don’t take care of the strange demons in the rear, how can we fight against the three main cities of Wangyue City, Huoyun City, and Linhai City.
Rushing along the way, before I knew it, I had led dozens of Iron Blade riders to the Yanlong Legion's position, and a general platform had been set up on one side of the position. Before I knew it, the old king and Princess Pei'er had already I came here with my personal guards. On the general platform, Theodore, Owen, Luo Si, Reis and others were also there.
In the distance, a herald shouted loudly: "General Li Xiaoyao, commander of the Royal Forest Army, your Majesty has invited you."
My heart sank, this NM... is wasting my good time to earn merit points, but I still want to go. After all, if the old king rewards me, I should have more merit points. I will never be satisfied with a small person. A junior general must continue to climb up in order to command more troops. That's right...
He picked up his sword and rode his horse to the general's platform. After dismounting, he sheathed the sword and walked up to the general's platform with his arms hanging low.
The eldest prince Theodore's face was not very good. He looked at me coldly and said: "Li Xiaoyao, kneel down for me. Do you know your guilt?"
I looked at him proudly: "What crime is there, and why do I kneel down?"
Theodore sneered: "You ordered the Royal Forest Army to be stationed on the west side of the Gale Forest. There is no strange demon army there at all. You are clearly afraid of fighting. How can such a coward be blameless?"
I spoke decisively: "The Royal Forest Army has suffered heavy losses in the bloody battle against the Kraken Tribe at the Sea of No Return. There are now only 10,000 people, and more than 80% of them are wounded. Their combat effectiveness is less than one-third of the usual level. Now Are you still going to let them die? Your Highness, do you have any sympathy for the soldiers and some kindness? If your 14W Flame Dragon Legion only has 20,000 people left, only two or three thousand of them can fight. , will you still let them die?"
Theodore was so red-faced by what I said that he was speechless.
Fortunately, the old King Locke was still reasonable and said: "I have seen the bloody battle led by Commander Li Xiaoyao and the Royal Guards. Theodore, there is no need to blame me too much. The Royal Guards will be a pillar of the empire. Keep it." This is such a pitiful fire. With General Li Xiaoyao here, the Royal Forest Army will definitely become a newly rising ace army of the empire."
Pei'er smiled and said: "My father is wise, the Imperial Guard Army has strict military discipline, the generals are brave, and the fighting spirit is high. After this battle, the Imperial Guard Army will be rebuilt, and it will definitely become an ace army that can rival the Yanlong Army and Xia Yu Army."
When Pei'er said that, I was very happy, but Theodore and Owen were not too happy. These two princes are very unruly at heart, and they can't even tolerate each other's siblings. How can they tolerate me, an outsider.
With that said, Pei'er looked at the battle on Luhu again and said: "Unfortunately, my Changfeng Army has less than 20,000 people left. It used to be a heroic army that could stand alone..."
The old king looked at his daughter, smiled lovingly, patted Pei'er on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, after this battle, I will mobilize more than half of the troops of the princes and princes on the border. At least each of these old guys will have their own hands." They all hold tens of thousands of troops. If you squeeze them all, you can add another 500,000 troops to the empire. Your Changfeng Legion will still be organized with 100,000 people. Don’t worry, officers can also be selected from the War College. In extraordinary times, you don’t have to wait for them to graduate. You can directly draw them to join the army."
Pei'er was overjoyed: "Okay, thank you, Father."
On the side, the expressions of the two princes became even more ugly. In a sense, Pei'er was deeply favored by the old king and had surpassed them both.
I was secretly gloating from the sidelines. Theodore had been looking at me as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and I felt unhappy about him. If there was a chance, I would hope that Tianling City could depose him as the crown prince and replace him with Ooen or Pei'er. However, it seems that there is no precedent for setting up a queen in Tianling City, at least not yet. Bahuang City is a good example, but the situation is different. Angela has no other brothers except Luo Lin, so she can only succeed to the throne, and Pei'er There are still two brothers, which is a lot to kill...
When I thought of such a rebellious idea, I actually got a little excited. Could it be that I was born to be a rebellious person? I couldn't. In fact, I still wanted to be loyal to the empire.
…
I sat upright, and the two princes naturally didn't know what I was thinking. After staying there for 10 minutes, I finally couldn't bear it any longer and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to fight the enemy myself. The Demonic Great Swordsman, Stone Skin There are too many giants, and I am worried that my adventurer friends will not be able to resist them. Please allow me to fight, Your Majesty."
The old king couldn't help but smile: "Commander Li Xiaoyao is really a brave general. Looking at the empire, there really is no one like you who takes the lead and charges into battle every time. Go ahead and lead the imperial army."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
I turned around and mounted my horse, then rushed into the crowd of demon swordsmen and started slashing. My merit points must be high, otherwise the final winner this time will be a myth.
On the shore, a large group of NPCs were carrying artillery. The sound of "bang bang bang" was endless. The strange demon warships in Luhu were constantly bombarded to pieces. The demon swordsman was directly killed by the bombardment, but the stone-skinned giant His vitality and defense are much higher than that of the great swordsman. He immediately swam ashore and killed the players and NPCs.
In the air, several dragon roars passed by. It was the dragoon team led by Qingluo. Several giant dragons passed by Lu Lake together. The dragon's breath was spitting out, and the dragon knight's sword light poured down, and each battleship was torn into pieces. Furthermore, the Demonic Great Swordsman could not reach the dragon knight, nor could he break the dragon's scales with his arrows. The stone-skinned giant was so bulky that it was even more impossible to reach the dragon knight. Tianling City obviously won this battle, with the dragon knight. One side simply has the upper hand.
…
"Ho ho ho..."
In the distance, there were waves of roars, and you knew it was the blood giant Kyle without even thinking about it.
During the charge, Li Mu suddenly trembled and looked up into the distance: "Is the blood giant Kyle coming?"
