Nine hundred and sixty-ninth chapters betrayal of the empire
On the side, the captain of the guard stepped over, took two tokens from my hand, and whispered in my ear: "General Li, the empire has failed you..."
My heart trembled, but I didn't say anything. Instead, I looked at him deeply, with a bit of murderous intent.
…
Luo Qianlin stood up slowly, looked at me with red eyes, and said, "Master Li, what are your plans in the future?"
I patted the other emblem on my shoulder and said, "I am the Dragon Cavalry General of Hanhuang Dragon City. The world is so big that I can settle down anywhere. It's no big deal."
Luo Qianlin said: "Master Li, you don't have to be like this... you are still Duke Broken Ding, and you are still the master of Fanshu City. It's just that the Royal Forest Army can no longer garrison in Fanshu City. I..."
I waved my hand and said: "Qian Lin, there is no need to say more. I am no longer an imperial general. Fanshu City is just my fiefdom, and the imperial army will no longer be stationed. I understand this, but Qian Lin...
"
Luo Qianlin looked up at me: "Master Li?"
I smiled and said: "But don't forget, you said that I hold a heavy army with less than 100,000 troops of the Royal Forest Army, but your father Luo Xun holds a Rongdi Army with nearly 200,000 troops. If I am so powerful,
Your father should have been beheaded ten times!"
"I..." Luo Qianlin stood there gritting his teeth, not knowing how to answer me, but he could only say: "I'm sorry, Master Li..."
I raised the corner of my mouth and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, we are not related by blood. Even if I say that I am not from this world and will leave one day, the world will naturally still be yours if I conquer it. You probably won't believe it either."
Luo Qianlin's eyes were full of tears, and he knelt on the ground again, saying: "Master Li, I believe in you, Qianlin has always trusted you, but... please let me get through this difficulty, I will definitely do it myself
I went to Hanhuang Dragon City to invite you back to Tianling City!"
"No need to say anything, I'm leaving."
As soon as he turned around, Zixiao's cloak was fluttering in the wind. On the contrary, Wu Guan felt light and his whole body was extremely relaxed. But at this moment, the captain of the guard suddenly shouted: "General Li Xiaoyao, please stay!"
"how?"
He smiled and said: "When General Li Xiaoyao is dismissed, a new general will naturally be appointed as the commander of the Royal Forest Army. Your Majesty has already given instructions. This candidate is General Xia Ye among the four generals!"
I was slightly startled, surprised that Luo Qianlin had already planned to deprive me of my military power before that. On the other hand, Luo Qianlin really had a unique vision when it came to selecting generals. Among the four generals, Han Yuan was the most reckless and brave.
He can be a general but not a commander, Xiao Li is more cautious but lacks courage, Long Jie is fierce and more like Han Yuan's type, but Xia Ye is calm, calm and easy to judge, and he is a talent that can be made.
Luo Qianlin said: "I will write a handwritten letter immediately and ask Master Li to do one more thing for me. Take my handwritten letter to appoint Xia Ye as the new commander of the Royal Forest Army. You are the only one who can convince them, right?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Luo Qianlin had also figured this out. The four generals were all so arrogant. How could they easily let the empire remove me, the commander they had followed for a long time?
"Okay, please hurry up, Your Majesty." I stood there alone and waited.
Luo Qianlin quickly wrote the letter of appointment, then stamped it with a seal. After handing it to me, his eyes were red, but he stepped back. Then he put the handwritten letter in my hand, held my wrist, and said in a low voice: "
Master Li, do you know that there is a fire lion mercenary group stationed in the Ice and Fire Wasteland?"
I was stunned: "I don't know..."
Luo Qianlin continued: "The Fire Lion Mercenary Group has a total strength of more than 200,000. It is the strongest mercenary between Zeyuan City and Tianling City. It has plundered many tribes in the Ice and Fire Wasteland all the year round. Those barbarians have long been
I am full of resentment, but... I have sent people to get in touch with the Fire Lion mercenaries. After you leave, the Fire Lion mercenaries will attack the fields of Tianling City at some opportunity, and I will send the imperial army to defend them.
The Royal Guards will be defeated, and then the Royal Forest Army will also be defeated!"
My heart sank: "Qian Lin, what are you doing?"
With determination in Luo Qianlin's eyes, he said: "I will use the lives of ten thousand Imperial Guardsmen and Forbidden Army soldiers in exchange for Master Li to return to the Imperial Guards Army!"
I just felt like my scalp was numb: "This is not worth it!"
"No, Master Li, listen to me."
Luo Qianlin still held my hand, with burning eyes, and said: "Long Zhong, Leis, Qin Ye, and Xia Houren are all my father's people. How many people do I have in my hands? Only the Imperial Forest Army,
Only the defeat of the Forbidden Army can make these people shut up. And when Master Li returns to Tianling City again, I will take away the military power of Long Zhong, Lei Lei, Qin Ye and others on the grounds that these three people killed Zhongliang. No matter what happens, it will not work.
It can at least divide the forces in their hands. Master Li, please be patient and wait for me..."
I was shocked. I never thought that Luo Qianlin, a young emperor, would have such terrible thoughts and plans deep in his heart. But once it was successfully implemented, most of the military power in Ling City would indeed be in his hands.
In his hands, not his father's hands, this ruthless boy is made to be an emperor!
But when I think about sacrificing many troops of the Royal Guards, I feel heartbroken.
Luo Qianlin saw my concerns and said: "I will ask the Fire Lion mercenaries to be careful. Master Li can rest assured that the elites of the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army will not suffer any big losses."
I didn't have any better ideas, so I just nodded.
"Master Li, take care of that journey!" Luo Qianlin said.
"knew."
…
Carrying the emperor's handwriting, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I directly called up the City Lord interface of Fanshu City, selected the city return function, teleported back to Fanshu City in an instant, and quickly rushed to the camp of the Royal Forest Army. A group of knights came from a distance on war horses.
He said respectfully: "Lord Commander!"
I nodded: "Immediately send an order for all captain-level generals to report in the meeting hall!"
"yes!"
I went straight into the meeting hall. After a while, the fourth generals, Ling Luo and other captains entered the meeting hall one after another. Han Yuan said with a red face and a smile: "General, this fight in the Long Jue Forbidden Land is really awesome.
It’s so enjoyable. I heard before that the Xia Huo Army in Jiuxiao City is so brave and invincible, but now it seems like it’s nothing more than that. We, the Royal Forest Army, are the number one ace army in the world!”
Xiao Li also smiled excitedly: "Yes, sir!"
Xia Ye held the hilt of his sword, sat on the second seat, and said: "General, I heard that our Royal Forest Army did not get the mine in the Long Jue Forbidden Land. Why on earth is this? We lost thousands of brothers in order to seize this mine.
Ah? How could your Majesty be so unfair..."
I smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, everyone."
As I said that, I took out Luo Qianlin's handwriting from my arms and said, "This is the emperor's handwriting. Take a look at it!"
"oh?"
Han Yuan took the handwritten letter and read it again. Suddenly, his black face turned red instantly. He stood up suddenly and roared: "Why? Why?! General, you are Lord Broken Ding and you are loyal to the empire. Why do you want to do this?"
Deprive you of your military power? This...this emperor Luo Qianlin is indeed a foolish emperor. We really misjudged him. If we had known this, we should have chopped off his head with a knife!"
Xiao Li was shocked: "What's going on?"
"look by youself!"
Han Yuan handed over the handwritten letter. Suddenly, the 10 captains of the Royal Forest Army stood there dumbfounded, at a loss what to do. Xia Ye even tore the handwritten letter into pieces, threw it away suddenly, and knelt on the ground with one knee.
, said in a deep voice: "I, Xia Ye, am willing to entrust my life to General Li Xiaoyao. I will not change my ways in this life, and I will never overstep my bounds. Please trust me, General!"
I nodded: "I know, but the matter is now over. Don't say anything else. Immediately send the order for the Royal Forest Army to camp at Huoshen Mountain. This Fan Book City can no longer accommodate the Royal Forest Army."
Veins popped up on Han Yuan's face: "General, why don't we wait for each of us to fight back to Tianling City with a knife, chop off the heads of Luo Qianlin and Luo Xun, and general, you can become the emperor yourself, how happy would that be?"
I said angrily: "Han Yuan, don't talk nonsense! Let's not talk about the unfairness of the name for the moment. Even if we capture Tianling City, it will only lead to more wars. Do you think Long Zhong, Luo Xun, Luo Si, Bai
Will people like Li Ning, Xia Hou Ren, and Situ Xin stand by and watch us regicide and seize the throne? Such words must not be mentioned again in the future, otherwise military law will be engaged!"
Han Yuan was also furious, but Xiao Li forcibly held him down.
"Sir." Xiao Li's voice was still calm as he said, "What should we do?"
"Let's withdraw from Fanshu City. Xia Ye, take the order. From now on, you will be the leader of the Royal Forest Army!"
Although Xia Ye was unwilling, under my order he could only take the tokens from the general and the commander, but he knelt on the ground and said with tears: "The general will be kept by the general for the time being, and the imperial army will always be Li Xiaoyao's imperial army."
!”
…
Two hours later, Huoshen Mountain was filled with transportation teams and troops. 70,000 members of the Royal Forest Army had already withdrawn from Fanshu City and temporarily camped at the foot of Huoshen Mountain.
Han Yuan held up a long sword and asked: "General, what is your next plan?"
I looked in the direction of Bahuang City and said: "Liu Shuang in Hanhuang Long City is my mentor. I will go to her. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Han Yuan's eyes widened: "Is everything going to be okay? My lord, do you know how much Luo Xun, Reis, and Luo Si want you to die? I don't care about the general, I will go wherever the general goes. I am a great imperial bird officer.
It’s inappropriate!”
With that said, Han Yuan threw the Captain's token to the ground and said: "I also want to go to Hanhuang Dragon City and follow the general forever! Even if it means becoming a mercenary or a rebel, I am willing!"
"
Xiao Li and Long Jing almost threw away their tokens together and said: "We are also willing to follow the general, even if we are a heinous deserter!"
I shouted in a low voice: "You are so outrageous, no one wants to live anymore?!"
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Han Yuan's token from the ground, wiped the soil on it, and said: "Don't forget your natural mission. You are soldiers. It is your duty to obey orders and protect your home and country.
matter."
Han Yuan said: "I don't care, I just want to follow the general to Hanhuang Dragon City. If the general doesn't give up, I'm willing to be a pawn. Anyway, we don't want to stay in the Imperial Forest Army without the general! The general doesn't agree.
Just chop off my head, Han Yuan, with one sword, and the general will be considered loyal to the general!"
Xiao Li took a deep breath and said, "Sir, we have made up our minds, please don't say any more."
I sighed: "Okay, then take your food and supplies and come with me to Hanhuang Dragon City. There... there should be a place for us to survive..."
…
As a result, to my great surprise, in addition to Han Yuan, Xiao Li, and Long Jing, most of the generals and soldiers left the Imperial Forest Army, and a mighty army of 3,000 people left the Fire God Mountain with me.
, I have mixed feelings in my heart. I am grateful for the loyalty of these NPC troops, but I also feel that I am quite sorry for them.
I forced Xia Ye to stay in Huoshen Mountain to stabilize the overall situation, while we didn't bring any of the dragon crystal cannons, ballistas, etc., so we marched from Fanshu City to Bahuang City in such a mighty manner.
…
More than an hour later, the army crossed Ziwu Mountain and entered the Elf Trail.
A huge crowd formed one, most of them were cavalry, and there were also many barbarian swordsmen carrying shields who "defected" with me. Although they left the Royal Forest Army, this group of people talked and laughed without any trace of emotion.
The melancholy of being abandoned by the empire, these guys are much more optimistic than me.
"Huhu..."
The wind blew the jungle grass down, but Xiao Li squinted his one eye and looked into the distance, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, there is an ambush!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Loud noises continued, and flame shock waves erupted among the crowd of Imperial Guards. That was... Dragon Crystal Cannon!
…
"Damn it, they didn't want us to go back alive!" Han Yuan held a long knife and covered his eyes to resist the shock wave of the dragon crystal cannon. The shirt behind him was torn to pieces by the strong wind, and little blood stains appeared on his skin.
The somewhat tragic strong wind staggered and roared: "This time, it was the empire that betrayed us!"
