Eight hundred and twenty-ninth chapters expand the army
"brush."
Appearing in the dungeon, he opened his eyes, only to find a black mouse crawling on his chest. He threw it away by its tail and stood up. The durability of his armor was not high anymore, and the armor was covered with wounds. The scars and holes left by the ax and the sword were heard. There was a "dang" sound, and the lock was opened, but a captain of the guard said from outside: "Commander Li, come out, we are going to the palace."
I rubbed my arm, feeling a little sore, stood up and walked out of the cell, thinking that I probably wouldn't come back.
…
When we got to the ground, we walked around several pavilions and found the main hall of the palace. I walked a few steps quickly, caught up with the captain of the guard, and asked, "Chief of the guard, nothing happened yesterday, right?"
The captain of the guard gave a wry smile: "No big things happened, but a lot of small things happened..."
"What."
"The emperor's beard... was all shaved off overnight. The attacker's method was very clever. They actually shaved off all of the emperor's beard without him waking up. The weapon he held must be able to cut iron like clay. It’s an artifact.”
I couldn't help but smile. The captain of the guard looked over. I felt a little rude and said, "I didn't expect such a strange person to appear in the palace."
The captain of the guard said: "Hmph, this is clearly telling Your Majesty that he wants to take His Majesty's life just like picking something out of a bag. Hmph, it is simply too treacherous. If I catch him, I will cut him into pieces. "
I have already guessed who it is. Who else other than Otilia would do such a boring but daring thing.
…
When I walked into the main hall, it was already close to noon. Lin Wan'er, Fang Geque, Jian Shangan, Dong Chengyue, Ye Lai and other top 10 players on the merit list were already there. Looking at my injured shackles, Ye Lai couldn't help but feel a little angry. : "Damn, what's going on, Xiaoyao, who cuffed you."
I smiled slightly: "It's okay."
When I walked to the foot of the King's steps, Locke looked at me and said coldly: "After a thorough investigation by Pei'er and Owen, the matter has become clear. Commander Li has nothing to do with it. Not only is Commander Li not guilty, but he also has merit. Come here, please open the shackles for Commander Li."
I shook my head: "No need."
As he spoke, he exerted force with both arms and gave a low shout. The shackles made of this special cold iron suddenly shattered. With my current state and strength, this kind of ordinary iron could not trap me at all. The shackles collapsed into one The old king, Owen and others were stunned when they saw the fragments of the ground. They must also know that as long as I want to come out, even the dungeon can't trap me.
…
I walked to Pei'er and stood next to her. Pei'er looked at me and said, "Do you know why I let you go so easily?"
I shook my head: "I don't know..."
Pei'er smiled faintly and said: "A lot of things have happened in the past two days. My father's beard was shaved off late at night. I suspect it was your friends in Hanhuang Longcheng who did it, and... Long Xing, Xia Ye and others led The Royal Forest Army, with nearly a hundred warships lying across the Wushen River, pushed Xia Yu's army's docks and ports to the point where they were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound. Han Yuan and Xiao Li pushed nearly a hundred dragon crystal cannons and fire rock cannons to less than 1,000 outside Tianling City. Mi Chu, I have been practicing riding and archery just outside the city for two consecutive days, and the nobles in the city are afraid to go out..."
I was stunned. I didn’t expect these subordinates to do such things. I was touched but worried at the same time. This move was to intimidate Tianling City, but it would definitely make Emperor Locke and Ooun take notice. People in high positions would think There are literally ten thousand ways to touch us soldiers.
…
At this time, Emperor Locke stood up from the throne, with a white gauze wrapped around his arm. It was to pay homage to Prince Theodore who died in the battle. Looking at the ministers below, Locke said: "This imperial expedition will completely destroy the enemy." Overcame Luo Lin's troops, killed Luo Lin and Gai Wen, severely damaged Yin Ge, and promoted the power of our Tianling City among the demons in the north. You all have made great achievements. Come on, tell us what you want. award."
Fang Geque, Wenjian and others all chose to improve their military merit. This time it was different. Almost everyone chose to improve their status in the army. Only Lin Waner and Dong Chengyue did not choose. Both of them were from Hanhuang Dragon City. There are already people like me in the army, so it would be more practical to choose a piece of equipment or something.
As a result, Dong Chengyue got a ghost weapon mage ring, and Lin Wan'er got a ghost weapon necklace, both of which were pretty good.
Emperor Locke held the sword of the king and continued to announce all the orders, saying: "The Yanlong Army took the lead in this battle. My son Theodore died heroically in the battle. The Yanlong Army is still the chief army of the empire, with Xu Yi as the leader. Commander of the Yanlong Army, Fang Geque was promoted to the commander of the bow and arrow battalion, holding the title of commander of thousands of men, Muxuan, Hua Mei on paper, and Ye Lai was promoted to commander of the secondary battalion, holding the title of commander of thousands of men."
After saying that, Locke paused and said: "The military rank of Huaqiangyijujiu was promoted to partial general, and the Autumn Harvest Army under his command was expanded to 10,000 people. They were still incorporated into the Xia Yu Army. Wenjian was promoted to the Fire Ax Army Infantry Battalion Thousand Soldiers." long."
Ouen sat across from me and looked at me with murderous intent. I looked at him too, raised the corner of my mouth and said nothing.
Emperor Locke continued: "In the end, General Li Xiaoyao, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, fought bravely and was promoted to the rank of General Protector of the Country. He was given the third-level military rank and was allowed to expand the army on his own. The maximum number of the Royal Forest Army could be expanded to 100,000 people. In addition, Li Xiaoyao led his subordinates Long Yan and Xia Ye. The generals were promoted to General Zhendong and General Zhennan, and entered the Xia Yu Army to serve in the army. Xiao Li and Han Yuan were promoted to partial generals, and entered the Yanlong Army to serve in the army."
I trembled all over. It was so poisonous. This must be Ooun's advice to Locke. He directly transferred all four of my most capable generals. As a result, I alone as the commander of the Royal Forest Army was no longer enough to control the entire army. , this ups and downs simply cut off all my right and left arms.
Stepping forward, I said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, something is wrong."
Locke said proudly: "General Li, why not?"
I thought for a while and said: "The Royal Forest Army has just been successfully rebuilt and is recruiting people. I can use Han Yuan and other four generals very smoothly. They also have a tacit understanding with the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army. They have extremely high prestige in the army. Only generals like this Only with this talent can all the combat power of the Royal Forest Army be stimulated. I would rather not receive this reward and ask Your Majesty to continue to let the four of them stay in the Royal Forest Army."
Locke was slightly startled: "Li Xiaoyao, you don't even want the general protecting the country, just because you want these four people."
I nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, please grant me permission."
"Oh well……"
Locke breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The ranks of all the generals of the Royal Forest Army will not change, and the establishment will still be maintained, but you will be allowed to recruit your own troops and expand to an army of 100,000 people."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
…
I stepped back, and Ye Lai, who was not far away, pouted and said with a smile: "This world is really too dark. You can't reward people for their merits. Even the NPCs are like this. MD, I don't know what to say."
I also laughed: "It doesn't matter, there will always be a day when the clouds clear up and the fog clears."
"Um."
Lin Wan'er was afraid that I would be unhappy, so she stayed with me for a while after the palace meeting ended, and I took her to send Liu Shuang, Zishu, and Otilia away. Then it was time to deal with the affairs of the Royal Forest Army, Lin Wan'er, and Dong Chengyue. After going to level up, I headed to the Royal Guard camp.
He got on his horse and rode the flying sickle iron horse out of Tianling City. Looking back, he found that there were 4 heads tattooed on the sword-edged building above the city gate, one of which was larger, that was the head of the blood giant Kyle. The other three are Luo Lin, Gavin, and Selin. This is really an irony. The head of the tyrannical demon king is actually hanging here. If this scene makes Lannathel, Darren, Sif, etc. When people see this, they will be furious, and one day they will hang the heads of Locke and Ooun on the city in the strange demon territory.
When we arrived at the camp, Han Yuan, Xiao Li and others were overjoyed to see me back with all my beard and tail intact. They quickly held a temporary meeting in the Chinese military tent. Regarding the preparation of troops, I also discussed the rewards. For a moment.
Han Yuan frowned and said: "I originally thought I would get some rewards, but I didn't expect that this time the emperor had no intention of rewarding the Imperial Guards. He is really old and has lost his head."
I smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. Vice General Song will take some gold coins from the Imperial Guard's inventory and reward them to the soldiers. The emperor has chilled our hearts, and we cannot chill the hearts of the Imperial Guard soldiers."
Long Jing smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, what you said is very true."
Xia Ye asked: "Sir, the emperor has allowed us to expand the imperial army to 100,000 people."
Me: "Well, yes, but I haven't thought of where to recruit so many more people."
Han Yuandao: "Sir, do you know why the combat power of Yulin Army is even higher than that of Yanlong Army and Xia Yu Army?"
"do not know why."
"Because our Sword and Shield Battalion is composed of extremely powerful barbarians." Han Yuan laughed and said: "But after continuous battles, there are only less than 4,000 barbarians left out of 5,000. This is not the way. In the end, the general I suggest that we take a group of troops and go to the barbarian tribes in the southeastern border area of Bahuang City to recruit soldiers."
Long Ming stroked his palm and said with a smile: "The life of the barbarians has always been poor. If we bring them enough gold coins and food, and give each barbarian soldier a few gold coins, I believe we will be able to recruit a group of capable warriors. Han General Yuan’s suggestion is simply brilliant.”
Xiao Li was a cautious person and said: "I'm just a little worried. The savages are wild and difficult to tame. Why should we tame their wild nature?"
I said without thinking: "There is a vast fire crystal basin in the south of the Moon Blade Forest, which can be reclaimed as military farmland. I will apply and we can move the entire barbarian tribe here. Not only can we plant a large amount of farmland, but we can also use it to farmland." They feel a sense of belonging to the empire and are not afraid that these barbarians will betray them."
There was joy in Xiao Li's eyes: "My lord, let's do this."
"Um."
…
The application went very smoothly. Princess Pei'er easily obtained the right to use the Fire Crystal Basin. The Royal Forest Army immediately sent 20,000 people to reclaim the wasteland in the Fire Crystal Basin. General Han Yuan and I escorted the troops with 10,000 cavalry. Carrying dozens of carts of grain, grass and gold coins, they headed to the southeast of Bahuang City.
