Outside Tianling City, in the Moon Blade Forest, the Royal Forest Army's camp is being built rapidly. The surrounding trees have been cut down to build barracks, and a wide open space has been opened up directly in front of the camp, and a shooting range has been divided. There are the Shield Camp Training Ground, Cavalry Training Ground and other venues. Directly in front of the camp, on a tall flagpole, a large Royal Guards flag flutters in the wind, which is very eye-catching.
…
"Tuk tuk..."
The hooves of the flying sickle horse walked into the camp on the soft ground. Han Yuan, who was directing a group of soldiers to dig a pool, immediately rode up and said with a smile: "General, you are here."
I asked in surprise: "Why are you digging a pond on the edge of the camp?"
"Train the Navy."
Han Yuan clenched his fist and said: "General, you have also seen this time in the Battle of the Sea of No Return. The Imperial Navy is almost vulnerable to a single blow. Even the warships built under the supervision of Luo Lin are enough to defeat our Imperial Navy in one blow." We are defeated, and the Royal Forest Army camp is adjacent to the Wushen River, and the undercurrent of the Wushen River is even worse than the Sea of No Return. We must have our own warships and navy, otherwise we will not be able to cope with future wars."
I nodded appreciatively: "Well, have you told Princess Pei'er about training the navy?"
"His Highness has agreed. Even the money for supervising the construction of warships was personally approved by His Highness." Han Yuan smiled excitedly: "The Wushen River stretches from the Ice Ridge Mountains in the north around Tianling City to the Wentian Peak in the south. Lingcheng's natural barrier used to be that Xia Yu's army had a navy of about 3,000 people to protect the Destiny Floating Bridge. Now the Yulin Army has also begun to supervise the construction of warships and train the navy. At least on the water, we will be the only ones. Support the imperial army that can stand up to Xia Yu's army."
I smiled and asked, "Who is responsible for the protection and safety of Lingcheng that day?"
Han Yuan smiled and said: "General, please rest assured. The defense of the imperial capital will be taken turns by the two generals Long Xing and Xia Ye. The Royal Forest Army will also have 5,000 people permanently stationed in the city. Don't worry about this. Besides... …Prince Theodore transferred 10,000 people from the Flame Dragon Legion into the imperial capital and stationed themselves in the royal city. Now we are no longer responsible for the security inside the royal city.”
My heart sank: "Oh, that's it..."
Han Yuan lowered his voice and said: "General, I think Prince Theodore has begun to distrust our Imperial Guards and targets us everywhere. Why is this?"
I leaned the Zhenyue Sword on the ground and said with a smile: "The Imperial Forest Army has risen too fast. The strength we showed in the Battle of the Sea of No Return has scared Theodore. He is afraid of his Flame Dragon Army. The status of the empire’s number one ace will not be guaranteed, so that’s fine, let Theodore continue to be afraid.”
Han Yuan was stunned: "General, please don't forget that he is the crown prince. Once His Majesty has someone... he will succeed to the throne as soon as possible. At that time, he will have the power of life and death. I am worried that His Highness will be detrimental to our Imperial Guards. Have you ever thought of this result?"
I nodded: "I have thought about it. If this is really the case, the Royal Forest Army will change its flag and let's go to the border area to guard the border. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Theodore can't do anything to us. If it doesn't work..."
Han Yuan smiled: "General, if you support your troops and respect yourself, and establish yourself as king, your general will follow you life and death."
I couldn't help but laugh: "That's not true. Most of the soldiers in the Royal Forest Army have relatives in Tianling City. I don't want them to be implicated with me. Let's do it like this. Don't be timid. We must gather the elite troops immediately. Let's go Let’s go to the Wushen River and see what’s going on with those water pirates. Are they really three-headed and six-armed? They’re actually not even afraid of the sailors of Xia Yu’s army.”
"The general has gathered 4,000 men and horses, half of the cavalry, and half of the sword and shield battalion. Let's set off now."
"Walk."
…
After the order was given, the horn sounded, and 4,000 people from the Royal Forest Army, led by Han Yuan and I, headed straight to the west. After 20 minutes, we could already hear the sound of the rushing river in the distance, the breeze blowing, and the fresh smell of the lake. , that is the smell of the Wushen River, I have already experienced it on the Destiny Floating Bridge, but the Wushen River seems to be a little far away, but in the distance, there is a cry, and in the jungle late at night, a fire rises into the sky.
"General."
Han Yuan pointed his spear directly at the light of the fire and said: "I remember there was a small town there, with a population of about 10,000. It seems that water thieves are looting that town."
I nodded: "Go at full speed, cavalry goes first."
The flying sickle horse neighed, and I had already rushed out. Han Yuan followed closely with 2,000 Royal Forest Army cavalry. When we rushed out of the jungle, many houses in the town in the distance were already on fire, and a group of people holding weapons and weapons were on fire. The strong man with the sword was killing people everywhere, while shouting loudly: "Kill all the men, take away the young women, take away all their treasures and food, and do it quickly. The people of Xia Yu Legion and Kuang Lei Legion can completely no the same."
There were cries and cries in the town. Most of the townspeople were gathered in the square and were being massacred by a group of water thieves carrying broadswords.
"Keng."
I had already drawn the Longchi Sword from a distance, and shouted in a low voice: "Yulin Army, charge, these people who wield butcher knives against civilians have no humanity, kill them all, no prisoners of war, the Sword Shield Camp surrounds the town, a water Don’t let the thief go.”
Two water pirates rushed towards me with broad swords. The 152-level Titan-level strength was indeed very strong compared to the current NPCs. However, the Royal Forest Army behind me had already been tempered for a long time in the Battle of the Sea of No Return. They are already level 150, and the iron cavalry are all Titan-level in strength, and some of the thousands and centurions have Tianling-level and Lingyu-level BOSS level strength, so they are not afraid of these water pirates at all.
"brush."
The Longchi Sword penetrated the two water pirates with the effect of air spin, and the flying sickle and iron horses passed by. I took advantage of the situation and slashed the Zhenyue Sword across their necks, causing two astonishing damage figures.
"31282."
"33127."
Looking at such damage figures, I was still a little proud. The ancient divine tiger was also released to help in the battle. Behind him, Han Yuan led a group of cavalry to cover up the attack and killed nearly a hundred water thieves who intercepted them. It was indeed an incredible person. If you want to stay, you don't want prisoners of war at all.
There were at least a thousand water pirates in the square. One of the leaders looked at the emblem on my shoulder. He couldn't help but trembled and growled: "Oh no, he's from the Royal Forest Army. That person... that person is in Luhu." The commander of the Royal Forest Army who killed the blood giant, the new General Zhennan of the empire, damn, why are they here? Isn’t this the territory of the Xia Yu Legion and the Kuang Lei Legion?”
Another water thief holding a halberd said in a voiceless voice: "General, what should we do now."
The leader got on his horse and said, "I don't want any more money or women. Follow me and return to the Wushen River. Our world will be ours on the river."
As he spoke, he turned back provocatively and looked at me from a distance, and shouted: "Commander of the Royal Forest Army, come after us if you have the guts. Let's fight it out on the Wushen River."
I ignored him, cut off one of the water pirates with a flip of my hand, and continued to direct the Imperial Guards to charge around. In less than 10 minutes, more than a thousand water pirates were killed, and not much was left.
There were fires everywhere in the town. On the square, an old man walked over on crutches, looked at me, with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "General... I mean this town is Thank you for leading the army here, otherwise our Starlight Town would really be doomed. Starlight Town will always be grateful for the kindness of the Royal Forest Army..."
I said: "Old man, hurry up and put out the fire. By the way, isn't this the jurisdiction of Xia Yu's army? Why do you sit back and ignore these water thieves who are burning, killing and looting here?"
The old man's body trembled slightly, but he seemed to hesitate to speak.
I guessed about 70% or 80%, so I said, "Don't worry about anything. If you have anything, just say it. If the sky falls, I will support you."
The crutch in the old man's hand was shaking a little, and there was a trace of anger on his face as he said: "This area was originally the territory of Xia Yu Legion, but a year ago, an army of Kuang Lei Legion was also stationed here, and they took over the security here. , but... the water thieves come to rob more and more often, but the imperial army never appears. I heard some gossip, it seems that the property robbed by the water thieves is shared equally with a certain officer of the Kuang Lei Legion. , even... There used to be a famous and beautiful girl named 'Lan Xin' in our town. She was robbed and taken away half a year ago. It is said that she was given to the officer as a concubine. She should have been ruined long ago... …”
"Crazy Thunder Legion."
I frowned and thought of the man Reis with the red scarf wrapped around his arm whom I had seen during the War on the Sea of No Return. He was the commander of the Thunder Legion. He was said to be a passionate man. Could it be that he allowed water pirates to plunder nearby? things related to him.
The old man continued: "General, dozens of miles away, more than a dozen villages are often harassed by water pirates. Our lives are worse than death and have no dignity. If this continues, I am afraid that the Moon Blade Forest will no longer be inhabitable. ."
I nodded and said, "please rest assured, old man, the Imperial Guards are still stationed in the Moon Blade Forest. We will definitely eradicate this group of pirates and give you peace."
"Then I would like to thank the general in advance. By the way... General, if it is convenient, please bring back... Lan Xin. That is the old man's granddaughter..."
"Don't worry, I will try my best."
"Thank you, General."
"Ding."
System prompt: You accepted the mission [Rescuing the girl Lan Xin] (SSS level,)
Mission content: Chase down the water pirates, find the whereabouts of the girl Lan Xin, and bring her back to your grandfather. You will receive very generous rewards and win the hearts of the people. But please be careful, these water pirates are more powerful than others. You are more powerful than you imagine, and the enemies you have to face are far more than them.
SSS-level missions are not the main story, but you still have experience points and you must start them.
…
Seeing that the fire in the village was under control, I immediately turned around and said to Han Yuan: "Let's take advantage of the victory and go to the Wushen River to see how powerful these pirates are."
"Yes, General." Han Yuan's face was slightly excited. He was a soldier from a poor background and hated evil, so he naturally wanted to eradicate these water thieves completely.
"Forest Guards, march westward."
Han Yuan gave an order, and the 2,000 cavalry continued to go west without any loss. Outside the village, corpses of water pirates appeared again. The Barbarian Blade and Shield Battalion of the Royal Forest Army intercepted and killed a barbarian captain.
He walked forward with a broad blade and said respectfully: "Commander, we escaped a dozen water pirates and went straight to the west toward the Wushen River. Their warships should be there."
