Li Mu did not expect that Baili's speech ability was on par with his talent in cultivation. The passionate mobilization for half an hour completely detonated the entire square. It was foreseeable that this kind of spark would start a prairie fire and sweep across the square in a short time.
The whole territory of Xi Penglai.
"Everyone knows that Dong Penglai has many advantages that we do not have, such as the Immortal Cultivation Sect and advanced energy stone weapons. These are not things that we can catch up with in a short time."
"This battle will be difficult. Everyone present today may fall on the battlefield, and sacrifices are unavoidable, but we are not fighting alone. As victims of Dong Penglai, the Cangyun Empire has decided to stand with us.
"
"The imperial fleet has set sail from Qinglan City with a large amount of supplies and troops. With such an ally, I believe we can completely drive the Dong Penglai army led by that demon Sikong out of the Fairy Kingdom and unify the entire territory.
"
Although Cangyun Empire has officially declared war on Dong Penglai before, declaring war and actually sending troops are two different things. Now after hearing the confirmation from their lord, all the soldiers in the square burst into cheers.
Prior to this, there was indeed a relatively large gap in hard power between West Penglai and East Penglai, whether it was material reserves, army size, or the number of monks representing high-end combat power.
As well as various weapons and ordnance built based on energy stone technology, Baili was at a very obvious disadvantage, but the strong intervention of the Cangyun Empire gave this war that had no chance of winning at least a glimmer of hope.
"Now we invite the special envoy of the Cangyun Empire, Li Mu and Li Shaoxia, who single-handedly defeated the Dong Penglai army in Qinglan City and is known as the hero of the Cangyun Empire, to come on stage and deliver a speech."
Following Baili's introduction, bursts of cheers and applause erupted in the square again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mu.
Although he knew that this description of himself was intentional to boost the morale of the army, Li Mu still felt somewhat embarrassed to be described as the savior of the empire in front of tens of thousands of people.
But at this moment, he represented the face of the Cangyun Empire, so he was always extremely nervous, but he still tried hard to maintain a serious expression, stood up and faced countless eager eyes around him, and then slowly walked onto the high platform.
After shaking hands with Baili and Shen Bairu politely, Li Mu stood facing the entire square. After recovering his cultivation, he was not worried that his voice could not reach everyone's ears.
The content of the speech was the result of repeated communication with Huangfu Qing the day before. It expressed the Cangyun Empire's core position and commitment to this war without reservation. Of course, the details of the treaty signed with Xi Penglai were not included.
this column.
Li Mu's penetrating voice resounded throughout Honda City that night, which not only gave reassurance to all the participating generals, but also gave all the people of Xi Penglai a new understanding of the Cangyun Empire.
"I didn't expect you to have some talent in speaking. Many people just burst into tears when they heard what you said."
After finishing his speech, Li Mu returned to his seat. Xiao Momomaru leaned over and whispered to each other. On the surface, the two of them seemed to be bickering constantly, but in their hearts they fully recognized each other.
"After the swearing-in ceremony is over, Master Baili and Master Shen will call together all the generals who are about to go to the front line to practice for them. We will also participate together."
According to Baili's original plan, Li Mu did not need to go to the front line. After the Cangyun Empire's army arrived, he would decide on his next plan based on the battle situation.
On the one hand, this arrangement was to consider Li Mu's personal safety, and on the other hand, it was to show Huangfu Qing's sincerity, but obviously such a "safe" plan was not in line with Li Mu's original intention.
So after several "intense" discussions, Li Mu still convinced Baili and Shen Bairu that he and Xiao Taomaru would follow the first wave of Xi Penglai's main troops to the combat headquarters less than fifty miles away from the front line.
A successful swearing-in ceremony came to a successful conclusion. The lights in the city lord's palace were brightly lit, and many senior generals from Xi Penglai gathered together. Li Mu also followed Xiao Taomaru around the venue and met many knowledgeable people.
"Brother Li, I really bother you this time. On behalf of all the people of Xipenglai, I would like to toast you."
As the practice meeting came to an end, Baili and Shen Bairu finally got out to find Li Mu. The two accomplished Tribulation Realm masters expressed their great respect, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and then drank it down in one gulp.
"Brother Baili, Miss Shen, there is no need to be so polite. You are all seniors. Wouldn't this be a disgrace to me? If it spreads to the cultivation world, you will think that I, Li Mu, don't understand the rules, haha."
In these days, Li Mu has gained a deep understanding of Baili and Shen Bairu. Although their cultivation levels are very different, the two extremely young-looking super masters in front of him have no airs, and they are different from those sects. There is a world of difference between the old-school monks.
Whether it was loving the people like a son or being approachable, these attitudes in dealing with things made Li Mu admire him, so he kept the joke aside and poured every drop of the wine in his hand into his mouth.
Just when Li Mu was about to say a few more words to Baili and Shen Bairu, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes quietly. When he looked back, he found that Xiao Taowan was looking at him with a very strange look. .
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Mu's puzzlement did not receive a reply from the girl. She just kept tugging at the corner of her clothes and kept glancing at the terrace not far away, as if she had something unspeakable that she wanted to tell Li Mu alone.
After all, they were companions who had experienced life-and-death battles together. Li Mu understood immediately, and using the excuse of being anxious, he and Xiao Taomaru came to the quiet terrace.
"What's going on? Did you find any clues about the man in black robe?"
On the terrace with only two people left, Xiao Momowan's face turned pale. He took several deep breaths before looking back at Li Mu, who looked confused.
"We are still in a dream, those people are all fake, and everything is forged by the dreamers."
Li Mu was stunned by his shocking words. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and ask Xiao Tao Wan why he said that.
"Sir Baili has reached the heavens in cultivation, but he has a problem that he has had since childhood, that is, he can never drink a drop of wine. Only Lord Shen and I know about this in the entire Penglai Immortal Kingdom."
Xiao Tao Wan's words made Li Mu's face turn serious instantly. Baili had definitely drank genuine wine just now, and Shen Bairu on the side did not make any move to stop him.
"Speaking of which, there are indeed many strange things, such as the spiritual mark in our sea of consciousness, and the Cangyun Empire clearly has a more convenient way, but chooses to use letters to communicate with me."
The unexpected discovery made Li Mu's heart turn upside down. He originally thought that he and Xiao Taomaru had escaped from the strange dream, but unexpectedly, under the control of the "blood" organization, everything returned to the starting point again.
