Eight hundred and fourteen chapters expedition again
Escorting more than 5,000 prisoners of the Horned Dragon Army, they marched back to Tianling City in a mighty manner. A group of guards outside the city gate were stunned with fright, while I entered the royal city with four of the Ten Thousand Captain's men, carrying the Dragon Scale head in a package. Go straight to the palace hall. The tasks accepted here should also be handed in here.
…
In the palace, the old king was still entertaining his ministers. Peer, Theodore, and Ooun were also there. There were also several players who were handing in tasks. When they saw me coming, they stood aside to watch the fun. One of them also opened the game. The video system acted as if it had never seen the top ten players on the CBN Battle Network. It looked like it was worthless. I raised my sword and stepped forward. I bowed respectfully to the king and said, "Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army has fulfilled its mission and completely wiped out the horned dragon." Army, the head of the bandit leader Long Lin is here, and there are more than 5,000 prisoners waiting outside the city for His Majesty's disposal."
A guard came over, holding a tray in his hand. I put the head on it, and the guard took it back. Emperor Locke glanced at it, with a trace of disgust in his eyes, and said: "Theodore, Owen, You have fought against the water thieves of the Horned Dragon Army, so you should know who this head belongs to."
Theodore nodded and said: "Father, it is indeed the head of Dragon Scale. Commander Li of the Royal Forest Army has indeed wiped out the Horned Dragon Army."
Emperor Locke patted the throne, stood up with a smile, and said: "Well done... Haha, General Li Xiaoyao is indeed the pillar of the empire. Humph, this horned dragon army is domineering on the Wushen River, making our Tianling City feel like a chokehold. Now that this poisonous thorn has finally been removed, the Imperial Forest Army has achieved unparalleled achievements. This is great, Commander Li Xiaoyao, what kind of reward do you want."
I lowered my head and said, "Let your Majesty reward you."
"good."
The old king laughed, and the next moment a ringtone of the reward system was already echoing in my ears. Sure enough, this time the old king was really not stingy. He not only rewarded me, but also the entire Imperial Guard.
"Ding."
System prompt: Congratulations, you have completed the SSS-level main line mission [Destroy the Horned Dragon Army], and received rewards: level 1, charm value 50, merit value 400, gold coins 100,000, and all the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army have level 3, and received reward weapons. : Dragon Crystal Cannon ×50, Fire Rock Cannon ×100, Ballista ×200, Gold Coin ×2000000.
…
I clenched my fist with joy, so many rewards. The four generals behind me, Han Yuan, Xiao Li, Long Jing, and Xia Ye, were also overjoyed. Han Yuan even chuckled and said: "General, with these dragon crystals With cannons and gold coins, the combat power of our Royal Forest Army can be greatly improved. Haha, great, the strength of the Royal Forest Army can definitely be ranked among the top three in the empire."
I cupped my fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Your Majesty, there are more than 5,000 prisoners of the Horned Dragon Army outside the city. How should we deal with them?"
Emperor Locke smiled and asked: "Commander Li, how do you think these rebellious bandits should be dealt with?"
I thought about it and said, "It's better to break them up and make them civilians to work in military camps, or send them directly to the border to protect the territory. After all, manpower is scarce, and killing them would be a waste."
Emperor Locke groaned: "This makes sense..."
But at this moment, Theodore suddenly stood up and said: "Father, what Li Xiaoyao said is wrong. The Qiu Long Army blatantly disobeyed the empire's orders and became an enemy of my father. How can we tolerate such rebellious thieves? If we today If we tolerate these five thousand captives of the Horned Dragon Army, tomorrow ten thousand, one hundred thousand or even one million people will rise up and rebel against the royal power. Father, please think twice."
Ou En also clasped his fists and said: "Father, what the emperor said makes sense."
I wanted to say something more, but Pei'er pulled my arm and signaled me not to say anything more. And I also knew in my heart that the contribution of the Royal Forest Army in Tianling City was so great that it was completely overshadowed by the limelight. I have defeated the Flame Dragon Legion and the Xia Yu Legion, so Theodore and Ooun are so unhappy with me. It makes sense if I think about it carefully. Pei'er won't let me argue, so she probably thinks that we should just tolerate the situation calmly for a while.
I took a step back and stood beside Pei'er and stopped talking.
Who would have thought that Theodore looked at me with a sneer and said aggressively: "It is widely rumored in the army that Commander Li Xiaoyao is a benevolent general who never kills prisoners. Today it seems to be true. General Li, I suggest that these five thousand thieves be captured." Hang everyone on both sides of the official road as a warning to others. I wonder what you think of this proposal."
I thought about the five thousand prisoners outside the city who had laid down their weapons and still had hope of survival. I couldn't help but feel my scalp numb, and I gritted my teeth without saying a word.
Theodore continued to ask: "General Li, why don't you speak."
My voice was very low: "Your Highness, if you think it should be killed, then kill him. You can make your own decision. You don't need to ask me."
Theodore laughed and said, "Father, these traitors must not be allowed to stay. Let's kill them."
The old king seemed a little tired. After yawning, he said: "Theodore, let me leave this matter to you. Is there anything else? If not, then let it go. I'm a little tired."
Leith, who was not far away, crossed his arms on his chest, and the red silk scarf fluttered on his arms. He said: "Your Majesty, since the last battle at No Return Sea, the strange demon territory has been dormant, and the Empire of the Reverend has been dormant. Most of the troops have been lost, and there is not much left. The general suggested that the elite troops of the empire be sent over the Hanhuang Dragon City, attack the Kingdom of the Reverends, clean up Luo Lin's army, and bring Luo Lin's head back to pay homage to him. My dear Duke Luo Lei, I don’t know what your Majesty’s wishes are.”
The old king was stunned: "What, attacking the Empire of the Reverends, this... I'm afraid the time is not yet ripe."
Leis said: "The sea of no return, the battle of Luhu killed Selin and the two kings Kyle, the strange demon territory has been in turmoil for a long time, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. According to the general, there are not many troops left in the strange demon territory. Their situation is almost like a fish in a pond, a swallow in the abyss, and thin ice in the abyss. I believe they can't go too far. We should attack decisively and sweep across the north with the king's army. First, destroy the Empire of the Reverend, then the territory of the Wild Dragon Clan, and then drive straight into the Gods. The Well of Demons, the Bloody Pingyang, and the Stormy Abyss will kill the strange demon kings one by one. At that time, the achievements your Majesty has established will be remembered forever, and your name will be recorded in the annals of history and will be remembered forever."
When Reis talked about his unparalleled achievements, Emperor Locke's eyes clearly lit up. The emperor's lifespan was not long anymore. As a monarch, he naturally wanted to leave his name in history, and he did not want future generations to think that he was a mediocre ruler. , this Lacey pierced Locke's heart almost every time, I was already secretly shouting that something was wrong, NND, Locke the Great would definitely be fooled.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Emperor Locke held the Sword of the King, his face full of ambition, and said: "What Commander Reis said is true. Let's discuss who is better to fight."
Theodore immediately clasped his fists and said: "I believe that the Royal Forest Army is good at fighting, and the leader Li Xiaoyao has a civil and military strategy that is unparalleled in the world. Why not let the 50,000 people from the Royal Forest Army go to the strange demon territory to attack the Empire of the Reverend."
Emperor Locke nodded: "General Li, do you have any objections?"
I felt a pain in my heart. Sure enough, this was going to be an attack on the Royal Forest Army, so I gritted my teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army has been fighting continuously, and the soldiers are tired. Even if they go out again, I suggest that they go out again after a while, and... The Northern Strange Demon Their strength is unfathomable, unlike what Commander Reis said about Chi Yu Mu Yan. On the contrary, they may be hiding their capabilities and biding their time, waiting for our proud soldiers to challenge them."
Because I had surrendered the 5,000 men and equipment of the Spear Battalion and killed Commander Yue Luo, Leis still held a grudge and said with a cold smile: "Commander Li, are you afraid of the strange demons and don't dare to fight?" , if he deliberately exaggerated the strength of the strange demon army, could such excuses be to make His Majesty take back his life."
I sighed: "You don't have to provoke me, I'll just go."
Pei'er clasped her fists beside her and said: "Father, if Li Xiaoyao leads a lone army, he will not be able to defeat the strange demons so smoothly. How about... you give a decree to mobilize the troops of Hanhuang Dragon City to fight with the Royal Forest Army. This way At least it will give you a better chance of winning."
The old king nodded: "It's accurate."
At this time, the eldest prince Theodore suddenly stood up and said: "Father, even if the Royal Forest Army and the army of Hanhuang Dragon City fight together, they may not be able to win completely. I ask for a battle, let my Flame Dragon Army and the Royal Forest Army Let’s go on an expedition together. The territory of alien demons has been repeatedly invaded, and it’s time for us to have a real expedition against them.”
The old king was overjoyed: "Theodore, are you sure of your victory?"
Theodore nodded: "Yes."
"good."
The old king laughed loudly and said: "As expected of the crown prince of the empire, he should have such courage to recover the lost land. It is accurate to say that the Yanlong Army will go to war together with the Imperial Forest Army, echoing each other, and the necessary equipment, food and grass, etc., will be provided with the strength of the whole country." support."
Theodore lowered his head and smiled: "Thank you, father."
I also bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Looking at Han Yuan, Xiao Li and others behind him, Han Yuan is a brave general and he is excited. This is a great opportunity to establish meritorious deeds. Xiao Li is a little worried. The two generals Long Jing and Xia Ye are also mixed, and I am heartbroken. I am a little irritated and don’t know how this trip will turn out. Judging from the situation in the Battle of Never Returning Sea, the strange demon kings are by no means simple bosses. They also have strategies. The Flame Dragon Legion and the Royal Forest Army together will not exceed 20W, maybe these 20W people will really be buried in the strange demon territory, but... if Liushuang and Zishu from Hanhuang Dragon City go to battle with 15 dragon cavalry, there may still be some chance of winning, no matter what If you die, you can't live, just try your best to fight.
Thinking of this, I turned around and gave Leis a fierce look. It was his bad idea, otherwise the Imperial Guards would not face such a disaster again.
A trace of horror flashed across Les's eyes. He obviously didn't expect that I would look at him like this. He knew that I was already murderous. If I had the chance, I would not hesitate to get rid of this sissy crazy Lei Jun. command.
Locke stood up, raised the King's Sword high above his head, and said with a smile: "Then the expeditionary force will set off in two days."
