He passed through three islands in one go. Because Lin Tian obtained the Reincarnation Sword on the third island, people from all major forces were scrambling to find a way to crack it on the fourth island.
However, there is no need for them to find the test of the fourth island. When everyone comes to the fourth island, they are directly in another world!
The island is not an island, but a desolate ancient battlefield. The sky is filled with yellow sand, and the two armies are facing each other. At a glance, they are all densely packed armies, at least one hundred thousand in number!
Books often talk about an army of one hundred thousand, but in fact we really saw the overall situation of one hundred thousand. The chilling and tragic momentum was even more shocking!
Lin Tian was also affected at this moment and became solemn.
But this time it was different from the previous three islands. In the previous year, it was only them who entered the illusion of the three islands, but on this fourth island, everyone can see each other.
"Where is this?"
Some people asked, how could it appear in a place like this when it is obviously just a small island?
Time travel?
"It doesn't look like an illusion." Ji Lin frowned and reached out to grab a handful. He could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering his body. The feeling was extremely real.
"kill--!!"
Before everyone could think too much, on the ancient battlefield, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were shouting and killing each other!
The yellow sand was swept away, and the momentum of the conflict could no longer be described in two words: shocking. Except for a few people, everyone stared at the battle between the two armies with their eyes wide open.
Because they were on top of a mountain peak, they could clearly see the battle between the two armies. They were like bystanders who stayed out of the incident and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
But just as the 200,000 troops on both sides were fighting, the scene in front of Lin Tian suddenly changed. Everyone around him disappeared, and he appeared extremely unexpectedly in the command tent of the army on the left!
"Marshal, victory in the first battle! Defeat the enemy's flank of 10,000 people!"
Outside the camp, before anyone came in, a deep voice came in first, and then a burly man wearing a battle armor broke in, with a face full of joy and excitement: "The marshal knows things like a god, I will admire you!
"
Lin Tianling was stunned for a moment, took a look at the handsome robe he was wearing, and after pondering for a moment, he quickly accepted the memory in his mind.
After all, he has already had several previous experiences, and he has been able to quickly integrate into the role.
At this time, he is a marshal of the Dayun Empire and the only marshal in this country. He holds hundreds of thousands of troops and has great achievements. Sometimes what he says is more useful than what the emperor says!
The general who broke in was one of his lieutenants, he was a general, and he was also a tiger general.
"marshal?"
Seeing Lin Tian's frown and silence, the general shouted again.
Lin Tian came back to his senses, raised his head and frowned and said: "How many times have I told you to be cautious when encountering trouble? In a battle with a hundred thousand troops, defeating ten thousand is still far from the time to relax your vigilance!"
Most of the excitement on the general's face faded, and he said helplessly: "That's what the marshal said."
Lin Tian stood up and walked out of the marshal's tent. When people outside the tent saw Lin Tian, they all saluted and shouted: "Marshal!"
Lin Tian waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and walked all the way to the temporary meeting tent, where there were more than a dozen generals discussing combat strategies.
"marshal!"
Seeing Lin Tian come in, the generals saluted Lin Tian one after another, their eyes full of admiration and fanatical worship, which shows how high Lin Tian's prestige is in the army!
"Yes." Lin Tian nodded, then walked to the sand table and asked: "How many people did the enemy fight this time?"
"Back to the marshal, in addition to the 10,000 people on the left wing, there are 30,000 people fighting in the front, and there is also a 5,000-person assault battalion in the rear. However, we have also prepared countermeasures. This time they defeated their left wing, and their morale
In a big move, I propose that we go all out and attack Huanglong!"
A general reported immediately, with an excited look on his face. He was obviously a militant.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the camp: "Report! Urgent report from the imperial court!"
The generals who were talking turned their heads to look outside the tent, and Lin Tian said: "Come in!"
The soldier quickly opened the curtain and came in, holding a roll of golden cloth in his hands, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Report to the marshal, generals, there is an imperial decree from the imperial court!"
The deputy general who followed Lin Tian in before immediately picked up the imperial edict and handed it to Lin Tian with both hands.
Lin Tian quickly glanced at it after opening it, and then suddenly frowned.
Seeing him like this, the generals asked curiously: "Marshal, what does the imperial edict say?"
Lin Tian waved his hand and threw the imperial edict to the general who spoke, and said in a deep voice: "See for yourselves."
The general caught it and started reading it. As soon as he finished reading it, he suddenly said angrily: "What is the imperial court doing? At the critical moment of the war, they want us to withdraw our troops?!"
"What?! Retreat?"
The faces of the other generals all changed drastically. They passed on the imperial edict one by one and read it. After reading it, the faces of these generals were all filled with anger.
The deputy general became angry and said: "That foolish king must have listened to Prime Minister Zuo's slander and actually wants to reconcile with the enemy?!"
Others also said angrily: "The temporary stability gained by enduring humiliation and stealing will be ruined sooner or later. Only the stability achieved can last for a long time. Moreover, we are not defeated like a mountain, but our morale is booming. At this time
Retreating is not only a blow to morale, but also increases the enemy's arrogance!"
"Marshal, this must not be done!"
All the generals did not agree to retreat and looked at Lin Tian anxiously.
Whether to retreat or not is not up to the imperial edict, only Lin Tian's decision!
Lin Tian also frowned at this time. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Based on my commander's understanding of Prime Minister Zuo, if I don't retreat, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack, saying that we are openly defying the imperial edict and resisting the imperial order. He can't
What are you doing with my Marshal's Mansion, but you can attack your General's Mansion? If the Emperor listens to him, your family members in the Imperial City will be implicated!"
As soon as these words came out, the camp suddenly fell into silence.
It is true that they obeyed orders from Lin Tian, but they also obeyed orders from the imperial court, especially Prime Minister Zuo, who had great power and was favored by the current emperor. Once he spoke, the emperor would most likely believe him.
As the only marshal of Dayun Kingdom, Lin Tian's hard work and achievements have long become the belief of the people of Dayun Kingdom. Therefore, even Prime Minister Zuo does not dare to offend the people and do anything to the Marshal's Mansion.
But they are not like that. They have not reached the point where they can make the people angry, so if Prime Minister Zuo attacks them, the people will certainly be shocked, but they will not openly resist like the Marshal's Mansion.
And they all have wives, sons and daughters in their palaces in the imperial city. They are fighting the enemy on the front line. How can they fight if their wives, sons and daughters are in jail behind them?
"Marshal." At this time, the deputy general was the first to speak: "The fight is for the well-being of the people of Dayun Kingdom. If we retreat because of this, the enemy will definitely make further progress. When the time comes, they will propose to cede territory, then we, the people of Dayun Kingdom, will
How do you survive in an enemy country?"
"That's right! Marshal, we have to think about the people of Dayun Country. How can the gains and losses of a family be worth the gains and losses of a country?"
Another general also expressed his stance solemnly.
By saying this, they already wanted to abandon their small family to save everyone.
Lin Tian frowned and said, "But if this happens, your family..."
"Marshal, we cannot retreat!" the deputy general gritted his teeth again.
"Yes! Marshal, we cannot retreat!"
All the generals knelt down one after another and begged Lin Tian not to retreat, but to grit their teeth and hold on at this moment, and then talk about other things after the enemy country was defeated!
Lin Tian remained silent and fell into deep thought.
He knew that this was a test on the fourth island, but he didn't know exactly what he wanted to test.
If he retreats, the good situation in front of him will be in ruins, and his prestige in Dayun Kingdom will inevitably be damaged as a result of the defeat. More importantly, the defeated country and the people of the entire country will be destroyed.
I can’t even lift my head!
But if we don't retreat, the sycophant Prime Minister Zuo in the imperial city and above the court will definitely make trouble, persecute the families of his generals, and force him to go to Liangshan!
