After a while, with the sound of war drums surging in the palace, Emperor Locke slowly stood up from the throne and said loudly: "Generals of Tianling City, adventurers from another world, thanks to your hard work, In the first battle, our Tianling City finally killed the two demons Selin and Kyle, and repelled their attack on Tianling City. I hope everyone will not return drunk from this banquet today."
A group of players were waiting for rewards, while a group of civil and military ministers congratulated the king and flattered each other. They wished they could lift the old king to the sky immediately, so that he could grant him a marquis or even a grand duke when he was happy.
…
Theodore's arm was still bandaged with gauze, and there was a trace of blood on it. This was an injury sustained in the battle with the blood giant Kyle. He looked up at the emperor and said, "Father, these adventurers are waiting for you." Where is your reward?"
Emperor Locke nodded and said: "Heroes please come forward and accept the rewards one by one."
Lin Xiaowu, Jian Jian, Wen Jian and others stepped forward one after another. The rewards given by the system were divided into two types, one was to improve the position in the army, and the other was to obtain equipment, level, and charm points. As a result, Lin Xiaowu, Jian Jianjian, Dong Chengyue, Lin Waner, Wenjian and others all received the results of experience points and equipment. After a few seconds, the results came out. Lin Waner got a cloak of a sub-artifact, and Dongcheng Yue took it. He received a Ghost Weapon Magic Boot, but Lin Xiaowu had better luck and actually got a sub-artifact long bow, which made her attack power even more incredible.
After Wenjian and Ye Lai received their rewards, they turned around and said goodbye one after another.
"So, what about you?" Emperor Locke looked at Fang Geque.
Fang Geque said: "I would like to obtain military honors."
Emperor Locke said: "You are a general under my son Theodore, let him reward you."
Theodore stood up holding on to the hilt of his sword and said: "Boy, you are brave in battle. Now, His Highness will promote you to the rank of Cavalry Colonel of the Flame Dragon Legion. You will receive the salary of a captain, be included in the second battle order, and serve as the third battalion of the Spear Battalion." How about control?"
Fang Geque smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
After receiving the military position, Fang Geque turned around and left. Obviously he had no interest in other things, while Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue were still waiting for me to receive their rewards.
Huaqiang stood there alone with a pot of wine and an iron gun. He was the only player in the Longxiang Guild to break into the top 20 merit list, and he looked even more lonely. Emperor Locke looked at him with the Sword of the King. , said: "This hero from another world, what kind of reward do you want to get?"
Hua Qiang and a jug of wine said solemnly: "I would like to obtain a higher status in the army."
After looking at it, Emperor Locke said: "You have made great contributions in this battle. In that case... there is an extremely difficult task. I wonder if you have the courage to complete it."
Hua Qiang Yi Ju's face turned serious: "King, please tell me directly."
Emperor Locke smiled and said: "In the battle of Buguihai, the Autumn Harvest Legion, one of the dozens of legions in the empire, originally had 40,000 troops. Unfortunately, there were not many left after this battle. The commander Xia Xu died heroically in the battle, but the Autumn Harvest Legion The legion number of the legion is still there, and about 700 people have returned to Earth. Therefore, I hope that one person can serve as the leader of the Autumn Harvest Legion and recruit new troops to rebuild this legion with a history of more than 70 years. Are you willing to take on this position of commander? But let me explain first, the Autumn Harvest Legion does not have much power to recruit troops, and after the reorganization, it will be attached to the Xia Yu Legion and become one of the battalions of the Xia Yu Legion. It will become independent only after it develops and grows stronger. Are you still willing? .”
Huaqiang Yijiu nodded without thinking: "I do."
"good."
Emperor Locke raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "In that case, drink this glass to make you strong."
Huaqiang drank a bottle of wine immediately, then turned around and left the palace to pick up the defeated soldiers of the Autumn Harvest Legion. It seemed that he was on the same path as me, but in fact Huaqiang's road was more difficult than mine. The people of the Autumn Harvest Legion
They are almost dead. Even if they have enough, they will become vassals of Xia Yu Legion. Xia Yu Legion is the second trump card of the empire. I don’t know how many undercurrents are surging. The days of Hua Qiang and hundreds of people in the Autumn Harvest Legion in Xia Yu Legion are destined to be unhappy.
It would be too easy, but this is also the time to test his ability. If he can really lead the Autumn Harvest Army to rise in the Xia Yu Army, Huaqiang and a jug of wine will really have the weight to speak.
…
At this time, the emperor looked at me again, smiled slightly and said: "Commander Li Xiaoyao, I have seen your command and bravery in this battle. You led the Imperial Forest Army to repel the main force of the Siren Clan many times, and personally
You took the greatest credit for killing the blood giant Kyle. Tell me what kind of reward you want, and the lonely king will surely satisfy you."
I looked around. A group of military generals in Tianling City also turned their attention to me. There was a lot of jealousy and hatred among them. There was no way. My status in the imperial army had improved too quickly. Under my leadership, the imperial army had also gone from being useless to useless.
The legion has become one of the main forces. It would be strange if these senior generals don't hate me.
Stepping forward, I looked up at the Emperor and said, "The Royal Forest Army suffered too many losses after this battle. I hope that Your Majesty can give priority to supplying soldiers to the Imperial Forest Army. In addition, our food, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment were also damaged a lot. In terms of ordnance,
It also needs to be greatly supplemented.”
"Besides these." Emperor Locke asked.
I thought for a while and said: "In addition, I hope that your majesty can grant permission for the Royal Forest Army to open a camp outside the city. The camp inside the city is too small and can only accommodate 20,000 soldiers at most. The Royal Forest Army wants to have enough combat power. It only needs 20,000 soldiers."
It’s far from enough.”
Emperor Locke couldn't help but smile happily: "So it's just like this, okay, I will immediately approve your request. I will reclaim wasteland in the Moon Blade Forest southwest of Tianling City today, and allocate millions of gold coins from the treasury to provide for the Imperial Forest Army."
A new camp was established, and in the Battle of the Sea of No Return, the battle losses of the two armies, the Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion, exceeded 70%. Two commanders and many battalion commanders also died in battle.
, let’s do this, the remaining members of the Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion will be integrated into the Royal Forest Army, how about it.”
Beside me, Pei'er bumped me with her shoulder in surprise and said, "No thanks."
I was stunned: "How."
Pei'er said: "The Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion were originally the empire's battle-hardened legions. Although they are not large in number, they are elite in combat power. Even after a 70% loss, there are still at least more than 10,000 people in each legion.
, what do you say.”
I was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Locke said: "It doesn't matter. The Imperial Guard serves the empire. Rebuilding the Imperial Guard is also my concern. General Li will build the Imperial Guard into a strong force. This is also the wish of the lonely king."
After saying that, Emperor Locke coughed and said seriously: "Immediately announce that Li Xiaoyao will be promoted to the rank of Zhennan General, with a fourth-level military rank. He will command the entire Imperial Guard Army and have the right to independently dispatch troops. Once the Imperial Guard Army encounters resistance, Li Xiaoyao will
General Zhennan’s token can mobilize all surrounding imperial armies, and no army commander can shirk his duties.”
I was stunned, and Pei'er on the side was even more surprised. The emperor's imperial edict was so graceful. It actually gave me the ability to mobilize the surrounding legions. In the ancient army system, I could mobilize any troops at will. The only person who can support the empire's military strength is a marshal, but I, a mere general from Zhennan, actually have the treatment of a marshal. It seems that Emperor Locke really thinks highly of me and Pei'er.
A guard stepped forward, holding a red token in his hand, and said: "General Li, please accept General Zhennan's token and seal."
I stretched out my hand to hold it up. General Zhennan's token was heavier than that of General Zhennan, and the workmanship was more refined. In fact, I was quite pleased. General Zhennan was at level 6 in the imperial military system, and General Zhennan belongs to level 4 and has been promoted to two levels in a row. This is considered a great event in a man's life.
"Ding."
System prompt: Congratulations, you made outstanding achievements in the Battle of the Sea of No Return, gained 1,000 merit points, and received rewards: level 1, charm value 50, and gold coins 100,000.
…
At this time, rewards were actually given. Maybe my level was too high, so I only got a level 1 reward, but it was not bad. At level 151, I could advance to a career.
The emperor looked at me and said: "General Li, I hope you will live up to the trust of King Gu and continue to serve the empire."
I nodded: "I will."
Pei'er smiled and said: "The troops of the Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion are outside the city. Take your people to pick them up. Food, grass and baggage are also being prepared and will be distributed to the Royal Forest Army as soon as possible. Don't worry. Well, the officer who prepared the food and fodder is one of my men, and I will definitely not shirk the delay."
I smiled: "Okay."
Although the sixth rank is on my mind, I still want to settle the affairs of the Royal Forest Army first. After all, this is more important. If the Royal Forest Army is incorporated into the two legions, it will have a strength of 40,000 in an instant. With time and training, this army will It will become my peerless magic weapon for conquering cities and territories.
Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue went to level up. After all, they are little girls and have little interest in training the army. Otherwise, like Fang Geque and Huaqiang Yiju, they would have chosen to receive military merit rewards instead of equipment and levels. However, after receiving the level rewards, both MMs are close to level 150. They must be going to level 150 to prepare for the sixth level. There are currently no sixth level players. No one knows what new skills the players will obtain after the sixth level. Full of anticipation.
…
Outside Tianling City, there were players everywhere. Pei'er and I came to the Moon Blade Forest. From a distance, we saw a dense group of imperial troops lining up in the jungle clearing. They were members of the Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion. Their armors were still stained with blood, and many of their armors were damaged and in tatters, but there were no wounded soldiers, so they must have all been eliminated.
A group of people were whispering to each other. These soldiers were very panicked. The leaders of the two legions had died in the battle. They didn't know what kind of fate they would face. It was understandable that they were worried.
"Quiet, His Highness Pei'er has arrived."
The herald shouted loudly and galloped outside the queue, and the crowd of people suddenly fell silent.
