Chapter 5: The War Is Coming

The weather is getting colder, and the people of Nanshan Castle are starting to wear thick clothes. All kinds of coats were turned out of the closet and left in the yard to dry.

Everything is so ordinary and inertial.

But the arrival of a fast horse broke the silence of the city.

Stomp Tread...

Stomp Tread...

"Urgent!"

"The Ulans are going south again!"

"Barley City is besieged!"

"30,000 Ulan elites broke through the border!"

"The local garrison of 5,000 was routed, and the commander of the legion was killed!"

This is an urgent report of the military situation from the imperial capital.

People gathered in front of the large newspaper board outside the door of the Executive Hall.

Soon after, an official posted several big-character posters on the board.

Conscription order!

At present, the Imperial Military Department has recruited 500 young men to join the reserve army in Nanshan City for a period of three months. The age ranges from 16 to 40 years, and all are treated like a regular army.

Seeing this news, everyone talked about it.

The Shire had not had a conscription for several years, and the sudden issuance of a conscription order was a bit sudden. It amazes these people who have enjoyed a happy life for many years.

"This is to recruit soldiers! 500 people, so many!"

"There aren't many people in our Nanshan City!"

"Why are these bastards of Ulan beating us at this time!"

"I'm going, I'm going to join the army!"

"Hahaha, I've long wanted to fight Ulan!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the opinions were very different.

Yang Yunhui also knew about this conscription order. He was walking through the street when he suddenly saw the knight rushing into the city.

In the evening, the family had dinner...

"Xiaohui, what do you think about this," Yang Lanze put down the tea bowl in his hand.

Yang Yunhui didn't want to pay attention to his father, because the slap last time hurt a lot, and he still remembers the feeling of blindness in his eyes. However, after a moment of silence, he finally answered.

"Look again. ”

"Look again, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the other people's reactions. ”

"Haven't you always wanted to join the army?"

"Well, that's right, I've always wanted to join the army, but I also have to look at the situation and don't want to be cannon fodder. ”

"Okay, tomorrow my father will inquire about the situation in the north. ”

......

In the imperial palace of Donghua City, the imperial capital.

Syllable!

Another bowl was smashed to the ground.

Xuanyuan Qingyu looked at a huge sand table map with anger in his eyes.

This is a map that covers the entire Shire land, as well as some places beyond the borders. Among them, at the northern border, where there is a city surrounded by several flags.

"Hmph, Barley City, this gang of thieves from Ulan actually attacked Barley City at this time. ”

"Your Majesty, they are here for food. ”

"I know. ”

At this time, the waiters quietly cleaned up the broken bowls on the ground. And brought another bowl of tea.

Xuanyuan Qingyu took the tea and drank it in a big gulp.

This time, he didn't drop the bowl in his hand on the ground.

"I didn't expect them to attack Damai City, Xueli, didn't your intelligence say that their forces were concentrated in the east!"

Count Zhenchen Chi Xueli hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, it is the minister's dereliction of duty, and the intelligence gathering is unfavorable, please punish me!"

"Hmph, there are 500,000 tons of grain in Barley City, and this time Ulan attacked there before we transported the grain, there must be a spies on our side. ”

"The minister must investigate thoroughly!"

"And those 5,000 defenders, they were all defeated in just one day, if the army of my Shire country is like this, then what can we do to deal with this Xuanhuang catastrophe!"

"......" Wei Chi Xueli didn't dare to speak.

"Li Xiaochen, has the conscription order been issued?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the conscription order has been sent to various places three days ago," said Li Xiaochen, the chief of the guard, on one knee on the ground.

"Set up the soldiers recruited this time into a new army, and I will arrange another person to train them, do you have any opinions, Earl Zhenchen?" Xuanyuan Qingyu still looked at the sand table map without looking back.

The minister has no opinion. ”

Wei Chi Xueli suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, is this to cut power.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Eastern Qilin!"

At this time, a forbidden soldier walked in quickly and said.

"Say!"

"The Hydra appeared again on the sea, and two villages along the coast were attacked, killing 62 people. ”

"Nine Dragons are here again! What is this evil dragon going to do?" Xuanyuan Qingyu grabbed a handful of sand hard.

"Your Majesty, shall we send someone?" Li Xiaochen asked cautiously.

"Go! Send someone right now to find out where this dragon came from and why it's attacking our village!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, shall we arrest it?"

"Of course, even if we don't arrest it, those people in Kui Shendao will arrest it, and we must not let them take the lead!"

"Yes!"

"Earl Zhenchen, where are these people who asked you to go to check on the Kui Shinto Dao hiding now, do you have eyebrows?"

"Your Majesty, this Kui Shinto person is extremely cunning and elusive, and there has been no news of them," Wei Chi Xueli said cautiously.

"Keep investigating, you have to find out, find out who is funding them, they have been working against us all these years. ”

"Yes. ”

That night, the lights in the king's study were not extinguished until late.

......

Inside an ancient castle in a deep valley.

The observer of Kui Shinto was still sitting on the main seat, and there were a few people standing below, and the gluttony was still among them.

"Observer, the Hydra has reappeared on the sea east of the Shire," Gluttony said.

"This is the second time this year!"

"Yes. ”

"Did you send someone?"

"It's been sent out. ”

"Okay, this time we have to find out what's going on, when did this dragon clan start interfering in the affairs of the human race!"

"Don't worry, I'll follow, and if it reappears, I'll capture the dragon. ”

"Okay, after the deed is done, I will go to your side to ask for credit. ”

"Then thank you first, Lord Observer. ”

"How's the action on the Ulan side?"

"It went exactly as planned, and Ulan made a successful surprise attack on Shire's Barley City," Poor Qi said after taking two steps forward.

"Okay, this successful attack on Barley City has solved the food problem of Ulan in one fell swoop, and let Ulan and Shir go to war in the spring of next year!" The observation made Yi laugh out loud.

"My lord, there's a little problem here!"

"What's the problem?"

"Although the youngest son of the king of Ulan is in our hands, it seems impossible for him to go to all-out war with the Shir at this time. ”

"Heh, does this King of Ulan still dare to be disobedient!"

"My lord, after all, there are many Ulan clans, and the king of Ulan can't be the master alone, and at this time he is approaching the disaster of Xuanshuang, even if he agrees to start a full-scale war, the other elders may not agree. ”

"Hmph, these disobedient ants, I don't care, I want to see a full-scale war between Ulan and Shir in the spring of next year, we want corpses, only the more people die, the closer our plan can be to success. ”

"My lord, for Ulan to go to war with the Shire alone, you need a helper. ”

"Who!"

"Wooden Tower People!"

......

On the sea to the east of the Shire.

Qilin was looking at an old man in front of him with some nervousness at this time. The old man wore a mask on his face and had two long white eyebrows, and his hoarse voice made it to his age.

"Young man, take me to your king. ”

"Why should I take you?"

"Your code name is Kirin, the third Kirin of the Star Soul Knights. ”

"How do you know?"

"Young man, I know a lot of things, look at this, and when you have read it, you will take me to your king. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a square crystal from his sleeve. The crystal is crystal clear and gorgeous.

"Dragon Crystal!"

"Hehe, since you know that this is Long Jing, then you know who I am. ”

Three days later.

Qilin arrived at the imperial capital with the old man.

Along the way, the unicorn was terrified. It took him many years of hard work to develop a skill, especially this flying skill, which ordinary people cannot maintain a long-distance flight. But the old man easily flew with him to the imperial capital.

However, thinking of the old man holding the dragon crystal, then Qilin guessed that he must be from the dragon clan, so everything was reasonable.

Inside the King's Study...

"Dragons?"

Xuanyuan Qingyu was taken aback, he had not seen the Dragon Clan in all the years he had been in office, let alone the Dragon Clan had come to the door by himself.

When he saw this old man of the dragon clan, Xuanyuan Qingyu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you Elder White-eyebrow?" Xuanyuan Qingyu asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, I'm the white eyebrows!"

The old man nodded calmly.

Xuanyuan Qingyu's heart was quite shocked, this was a dragon clan elder that his father had specially confessed. Without something important, he would not have appeared.

"Did you know me from your father?" White eyebrows raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. ”

"Okay, that's easy, and I don't have to introduce it again. ”

"Elder Baimei, please have something to say!"

"Well, I'm here to talk to you about the Frost Cataclysm. ”

Immediately, Xuanyuan Qingyu called the waiters away, and talked with Bai Mei alone in the study for a long time.

Bai Mei came with two tasks this time, the first is to explain that the nine-headed dragon is a subordinate of the Black Dragon King, and it has nothing to do with their golden dragon vein. and promised to help the Charles drive out the Hydra. 2 is to indicate that the Golden Dragon Clan is willing to continue the agreement with the Charr thousands of years ago and assist the Charr in surviving the disaster of the Xuanhuang.

It should be explained here that once the dragon family is over 400 years old, it can freely change between human form and dragon form. This white-eyed elder is 700 years old and familiar with the Frost Cataclysm, so the Dragons sent him to negotiate the covenant with the current king of the Shire.

Three days later, Elder Whitebrow left...

Xuanyuan Qingyu called the Qilin to the study.

"From now on, the connection between the dragons and us will be handed over to you. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter. ”

"This old-timer's name is Elder Baimei, and he is an external elder in the Golden Dragon Clan, and he will inform you if he has news in the future. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Also, keep in mind that this nine-headed dragon is a member of another dragon clan's Black Dragon lineage, so you have to be careful with it. ”

"Are we going to arrest us?"

"No need, Elder Baimei has already said just now, it is difficult for us to fight against the nine-headed dragon alone, let alone capture it, he will assist us in driving it away. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Afterwards, Xuanyuan Qingyu walked around the study several times.

"It's a hate, we don't have a super master above the ninth rank now, if there is one, then we won't be helpless to take this evil dragon. ”
