Chapter 814 Another Expedition

Escorting more than 5,000 horned dragon army captives, they returned to Tianling City in a mighty manner. A group of guards outside the city gate were stunned, while I carried the head of Dragon Lin in my parcel and entered the royal city with four subordinates. Go straight to the palace hall, the mission accepted here should also be handed in here.

...

In the palace, the old king was still entertaining his ministers. Peer, Theodore, and Owen were also there, and there were a few players who were handing in tasks. When they saw me coming, they watched the fun, and one of them opened the door. The video system, as if I had never seen the top ten players on bn Battle.net, was useless. I raised my sword and walked forward. I respectfully bowed 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 thief leader Longlin is here, and there are more than 5,000 captives waiting outside the city for His Majesty to dispose of."

A guard came over, holding a tray in his hand, and I put the head on it, and the guard took it back. Emperor Locke glanced at it with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and said, "Theodore, Owen, You have fought against the water bandits of the Horned Dragon Army, you should know who this head belongs to, right?"

Theodore nodded and said: "Father, it is indeed the leader of Longlin. Commander Li of the Imperial Forest Army has indeed wiped out the horned dragon army."

Emperor Locke slapped the throne, stood up with a smile, and said: "Well done...haha, General Li Xiaoyao is indeed the pillar of the empire, heh heh, this horned dragon army is domineering on the Wushen River, making our Tianling City feel like a stick in the throat, Now that this poisonous thorn has finally been pulled out, the Imperial Forest Army has already made extraordinary achievements, that's 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 the ringtone of the reward system echoed in my ears. Sure enough, the old king was really not stingy this time. He not only rewarded me, but also the whole army of the Imperial Forest Army. [

"Ding."

System prompt: Congratulations, you have completed the sss-level main line mission [Destroy the Horned Dragon Army], and you will get rewards: level 1, charisma value 50, merit value 400, gold coins 100,000, and all soldiers of the imperial forest army are level 3, and you will get a reward ordnance : Dragon Crystal Cannon x50, Fire Rock Cannon x100, Ballista x200, Gold Coin x2000000.

...

I clenched my fist happily, with so many rewards, the four generals Han Yuan, Xiao Li, Long Yu, and Xia Ye behind me were also overjoyed, Han Yuan even smiled secretly: "General, with these dragon crystals Cannons and gold coins, the combat power of our Imperial Forest Army can be greatly improved again, haha, great, the strength of the Imperial Forest Army can definitely be listed in the top three in the empire."

I clasped my fists and said, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty, there are more than 5,000 Horned Dragon Army prisoners outside the city, how should we deal with it?"

Emperor Locke asked with a smile: "Commander Li, what do you think these rebellious bandits should be dealt with?"

I thought for a while and said, "It's better to break them up and fill them up as civilian husbands to work in the army's fields, or send them directly to the border to guard the territory. After all, manpower is hard to come by, so killing them would be a waste of time."

Emperor Locke pondered: "This statement makes sense..."

But at this moment, Theodore suddenly stood up and said: "Father, Li Xiaoyao's words are wrong. The horned dragon army openly disobeyed the imperial order and became an enemy of the father. How can such rebellious thieves be tolerated? If we today If you appease the five thousand captives of the horned dragon army, then tomorrow ten thousand, one hundred thousand or even one million rioters will rise up to rebel against the kingship, father, please think again."

Owen also clasped his fists and said, "Father, Brother Huang is right."

I wanted to say something more, but Pei'er pulled my arm, signaling me not to say anything more, and I knew in my heart that the contribution of the Yulin Army in Tianling City was too great, and the limelight was completely overshadowed. I lost the Yanlong Army and Xia Yu Army, that's why Theodore and Owen look at me like this. It's reasonable to think about it carefully. Pei'er didn't let me argue, probably because she felt that she should endure the calm for a while.

I took a step back and stood beside Peier and stopped talking.

Who would have thought that Theodore would look 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 sent along Hang everyone on both sides of the official road, as a warning to others, I don’t know what you think of this proposal.”

When I thought of the five thousand captives outside the city who had put down their weapons and had hoped to survive, I couldn't help but feel a little numb in my scalp, gritted my teeth, and said nothing.

Theodore continued to ask: "General Li, why don't you speak."[

My voice was very low: "Your Highness thinks it's time to kill, then kill him. It's up to you, don't ask me."

Theodore laughed: "Father, these rebels must not be kept, let's kill them."

The old king seemed a little tired. He yawned and said, "Theodore, I'll leave this matter to you. Is there anything else? If not, let's go. I'm a little tired."

Not far away, Reis folded his arms on his chest, and the red silk scarf fluttered on his arms. He said: "Your Majesty, since the last battle of No Return, the Territory of Strange Demons has been dormant, and the Empire of the Awe Most of the army's strength has been lost, and with the few remaining, the general proposes to send the elite troops of the empire to cross the cold and desolate dragon city, attack the kingdom of the fearful, clean up Luo Lin's army, and bring Luo Lin's head back as a memorial service. The late Duke Raleigh, I don't know what His Majesty would like."

The old king was taken aback for a moment: "What, attacking the Empire of the Awed Ones, this... I'm afraid the time is not yet ripe."

Leisi said: "The two kings Serin and Kyle were killed in the battle of No Return to the Sea and Luhu. Their situation is almost like a pool of fish and swallows, and an abyss of thin ice. I believe they can't go too far. We should attack decisively and sweep the north with the king's army. The Well of Demons, the Scarlet Pingyang, and the Abyss of Storms will kill the kings of different demons one by one, and at that time, the feats established by His Majesty will stand out from time immemorial, enough for His Majesty’s name to be recorded in the annals of history, and to be remembered forever.”

When Leisi talked about his unworldly meritorious deeds, Emperor Locke's eyes obviously lit up. The emperor's lifespan is not too long. As a monarch, he naturally wants to leave his name in history, and he does not want future generations to think that he is a mediocre lord , this Lace almost stabbed Locke's heart every sentence, and I already whispered that it was not good, nn, Emperor Locke will definitely be fooled.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Emperor Locke held the king's sword, his face was full of ambition, and said: "What Commander Lace said is true, let's discuss again, who is better to fight."

Theodore immediately clasped his fists and said: "I believe that the Imperial Forest Army is good at fighting, and the commander Li Xiaoyao has a military strategy that is arrogant to the world. Why don't we let the 50,000 people from the Imperial Forest Army go to the territory of strange demons to attack the Empire of the Awed Ones."

Emperor Locke nodded: "General Li, do you have any objections."

I felt a pain in my heart, and sure enough, it was time to take the imperial forest army under the knife, so I gritted my teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial forest army has been fighting again and again, and the soldiers are tired. Even if they go out again, I suggest that they fight again after a while, and... the northern strange demon Their strength is unfathomable, not like Chi Yumuyan that Commander Lace said, on the contrary, they may hide their strength and bide their time, waiting for our proud soldiers to challenge them."

Because I confiscated the equipment of 5,000 people in the Long Spear Battalion and I killed Yue Luo, he still held a grudge and said with a cold smile: "Commander Li, you are afraid of strange monsters and dare not go out to fight, right?" , if you deliberately exaggerate the strength of the strange demon army, is it possible that such excuses are to let His Majesty take back his order."

I sighed: "You don't have to provoke me, I'll just go."

Pei'er cupped her fists beside her and said, "Father, Li Xiaoyao's commanding a lone army will not be able to defeat the strange demons so smoothly, why don't you give me an order to mobilize the troops of Hanhuang Dragon City to fight with the Imperial Forest Army, so that At least there will be a little more chance of winning."

The old king nodded: "Quite."

At this time, the eldest prince Theodore suddenly stood up and said: "Father, even if the Imperial Forest Army and the army of the Hanhuang Dragon City fight together, it may not be able to win completely. My son, please fight, let my Yanlong Army and the Imperial Forest Army fight together." Let's go out together, the territory of strange demons has repeatedly invaded, 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 heir of the empire, he should have the courage to collect lost land like this. The Yanlong Army will go out with the Imperial Forest Army and respond to each other. The necessary equipment, food, grass, etc. will come with the strength of the whole country." support."

Theodore bowed his head and smiled, "Thank you, Father."

I also bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Look at Han Yuan, Xiao Li and others behind him. Han Yuan is a brave general with an excited face. This is a great opportunity to make great achievements. I'm a little irritable, I don't know how this trip will be. Judging from the situation of the Battle of No Return to the Sea, the strange demon kings are by no means simple bosses. They also have strategies. 200,000 people, maybe all of these 200,000 people will really be buried in the territory of strange demons, but... if Liushuang and Zishu from the cold dragon city fight together with 15 dragoons, there may be some chances of winning, no matter what It's over, I can't live, I just try my best to fight.

Thinking of this, I turned around and gave Leisi a hard look. It was his bad idea, otherwise the Imperial Forest Army would not have faced such a catastrophe again.

There was a trace of horror in Leisi's eyes. He obviously didn't expect that I would look at him with such eyes. He knew that I was ready to kill him. command.

Locke stood up, raised the King's Sword over his head, and said with a smile: "Then two days later, the expeditionary force will go out."
