Episode 26 The New Demon God Emperor Chapter 6 Retreat
The sun was setting, and night was falling. The fact that both the cities of Vana and Nista were destroyed overnight by barbarians made a deep impression on the higher echelons of the expeditionary force.
On this night, the expeditionary force was like a great enemy, and it was ready for battle. The two cavalry regiments of the Southeastern Army were sent far away to serve as scout posts, and the fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth half-orc teams of the Far East were also ready for battle, guarding the flanks of the army, preparing to resist the enemy from the east. The 101st Special Division was on guard all night at the head of the city, and they arranged strong bows and crossbows, scanning the wilderness and woods around the city with a vigilant gaze.
That night, the wind howled and the night was as dark as ink. Packs of muscular wolves roam the wasteland around Vaenstad, coming and going as swift as the wind. Sometimes they run on all fours like animals, sometimes they walk upright on their hind legs like humans, and the wolves are sometimes so close to the city that the guards at the head of the city have to use bows and arrows to disperse them.
Out of nowhere, there was a dull rumbling. Scouts stationed outside the city observed that there were large objects moving in the darkness in the distance, making loud noises. The horses were so frightened that they couldn't control it, and by animal instinct, they knew that a powerful beast lurked in the darkness ahead.
In the midst of one wolf howl after another, the cavalrymen sat stiffly on their horses with pale faces, looking out in the darkness at the huge beings who had come from ancient times.
At the head of the city, many soldiers saw white, red, blue, or green lights passing along the eastern horizon, which were unusually gorgeous. No one knew what it was, someone reported it to the command.
Seeing this beautiful and strange vision of heaven and earth, the two expeditionary forces stood silently at the same age, and did not make a sound for a long time.
The night is as dark as a fight, there is no starlight in the sky, and there is no moon in sight, there is darkness between heaven and earth, and the only light is the mysterious light from the extreme east, and the boundless heavy darkness gives people a powerful oppression, making people breathless.
Seeing the brilliant and dazzling beautiful rainbow light that was fleeting in the dark, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly felt that he was not in the extreme east region, but had come to another world, the legendary Demon Realm.
The guards led the way with torches, and the two commanders walked back to the headquarters together. Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
It wasn't until the mouth of the headquarters that Sterling suddenly said, "I have to leave tomorrow!" Whatever happens, you have to go! β
Shikawa Xiu nodded. He also had a premonition that a crisis was approaching that would wipe out the entire expeditionary army. The feeling of uneasiness was so strong that he felt breathless: "Go in and discuss it, don't think about sleeping tonight." β
On this night, although nothing happened, people invariably felt that it was a very thrilling night.
In anticipation, the dawn has finally arrived. The first rays of sunlight brought a message to the people who were about to go crazy by the night. People have a feeling that when the day dawns, they are safe. It is impossible for demons and ghosts to appear in the sun.
The wind was blowing. There was silence and darkness all around. The sentry in front of the garrison barracks swayed with torches, which looked very pale against the background of the fish's belly-colored sky.
Commander Stirling ascended the tower, holding a domed hat inlaid with the ruling star Venus.
The officer on duty at the head of the city stood up and saluted him: "My lord, is there anyone who can serve you?" β
I just want to be here in silence for a while. β
The wind was blowing tighter and tighter, dawn was coming, and a reddish light shone through the dark eastern sky. Stirling stood quietly at the head of the city, looking out over the horizon far east. He couldn't see it, but he didn't, just as the sun was about to rise, at the end of his eyes, a towering city towered. It has a long history, it is impregnable, it has not been conquered for thousands of years, and it represents all the pride of a savage and powerful people.
And the girl he loves is in that city.
The once-beautiful princess has become an empress, and she rules the kingdom of evil.
This expeditionary war, which cost the family all their strength, finally fell short. Today, the expeditionary corps will evacuate Vahnstad and embark on its journey home. At this moment, the position he is in will be the closest place to the Demon God Castle.
It's also the closest place to her.
Perhaps, we really won't be able to see each other again.
At this moment, Sterling's heart was filled with a faint joy, a faint sadness, a slight sourness, a familiar feeling that had not been felt for a long time since his youth, like sadness, like disappointment.
Heaven is merciful, and He finally does not let you and me face off on the battlefield.
Heaven is cruel, and he finally won't let you and me see each other again.
Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life, and it is also my greatest misfortune.
My beloved girl, I think you have worked so hard. How many times have dreams haunted me, and the beauty is smiling like a flower. When I woke up, I finally had to feel the tingling pain in my heart, the real pain like a piece of flesh had been gouged out of my heart, and I couldn't breathe in pain.
Cardin, after all these years, are you okay? Do you remember me? Is Yun Qianxue good to you?
We had met together for eternity, but in the end, we failed to keep that promise......
"Your Excellency." The herald cautiously interrupted Stirling's reverie: "The troops have been assembled, and the commanders are waiting for your order. β
"Got it." Without looking back, Sterling answered.
Straightening his clothes, he put on the commander's hat with a gold star, stood up and saluted the east, and thought silently in his heart: "You said that I look good in a military uniform." Now, I'm wearing my best uniform to see you, and I'm now in command...... It's just that you can't see it anymore. β
The landscape before him was blurring, the outlines of the mountains were getting whiter and whiter, and among the dark, dry, withered grass, he seemed to see one
The slender girl was smiling at herself, smiling like a flower, and a crisp female voice seemed to say to herself in her ear: "You can always maintain the demeanor of youth, forever like yesterday." β
Cardin, you're wrong, I'm old. At the moment of returning from Pai, youth has left me with you.
"I wish you happiness, Cardin."
One last glance at the pale horizon in the east. Turning around, Stirling had regained the majesty of a commander-in-chief.
The generals looked at him in awe and stood straight on both sides of the city road. Under the city, the black-pressed army formation fell silent, and the 100,000 soldiers looked up at their commander in unison. Soldiers, swords, horses, and colorful battle flags converge into a sea, exuding a murderous aura that soars into the sky.
At the head of the city, Stirling stood, and his loud voice spread throughout the army: "Soldiers of the expeditionary force, where do we stand?" β
A tsunami-like voice responded: "Vaenstad! β
"That's right! Vainsta, less than four hundred miles from the Demon God Castle! The ground we trample under our feet, a land that humans have never reached since time immemorial! We are the first human soldiers to stand here! β
"Since February of this year, I have entered this kingdom with you. I have seen you travel long distances, feast on hunger, endure wind, frost, rain and snow, and fight the most savage and ferocious enemies thousands of miles away. It was you who brought the family's eagle banner to the end of the earth! You have completed your mission and created miracles on earth! β
"Now, let me lead you home! The battle is not over, the road home will not be easy, we will encounter unknown enemies, we will have to go through terrible battles, but we are soldiers of the family and we have real courage! Remember Bataan, remember Payi, remember the imperial capital,
We faced a 100-fold stronger enemy than we do now! The invincible Demon God Emperor, the fierce armored beast, and the millions of demon army, but now, where are they all? They were all trampled under our feet and turned into mud! β
"No matter whether you face demons or fierce beasts, our army's invincible pace will not be stopped! Soldiers, come with me and let me take you home! On that day, flowers, honors, and the arms of loved ones are waiting for you! β
"Long live your follow! Banzai! Banzai! Spears and swords like woods were raised high, and a hundred thousand voices shouted hoarsely at the same time, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth and reached into the sky.
The parade was soon over, and the soldiers and horses began to leave the city through the west gate of Vahnstad in an orderly manner, and embarked on the journey home, the family flag opening the way in front of them, and the winding procession formed a long line.
Walking towards Zichuan Xiu, Sterling nodded solemnly and thanked him.
He shook Zichuan Xiu's hand hard: "Ah Xiu, please." β
"Don't worry." Zi Chuanxiu's expression was much more relaxed: "It's just a day, we'll catch up soon." We are in Voggero
Zibia Division. You can be repaired over there and wait for us. β
Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated, and it was impossible to leave all of them in a swarm. In order to prevent Senea or barbarian attacks, the troops behind the temple must be left behind. During last night's deliberations, Shikawa Xiu took on this task by himself.
Having a Commander escort him is a bit unseemly. Wen He, Starry, Fang Yun and other generals all spoke out to replace Zichuan Xiu, but he said: "It is most appropriate for me to undertake this task." There are quite a few demon officers and soldiers under my subordinates, who are familiar with the environment and have experience in fighting barbarians. Moreover, this is also good for preserving the strength of the family. "βThe implication: Let the demon army fight the barbarians and consume their strength. After much deliberation, Sterling finally agreed to Shikawa's request.
"The family owes you again, Ah Xiu." Staring into Zichuan Xiu's eyes, Sterling put a heavy force on his hand: "Take care, you must be more careful." β
Zi Chuanxiu smiled heartily: "Second brother, you are really getting more and more mother-in-law." One day was just like that, and I was looking at the beautiful women in Vahnstad, and it passed quickly. You wait for me in Florosbia! β
Sterling smiled deeply: "Goodbye to Folgrozbia!" β
After saying goodbye to Shikawa, Sterling said goodbye and left. As he turned, he froze visibly, his gaze deep into the empty eastern horizon. Then, surrounded by a large group of high-ranking officers in dark blue uniforms, he mounted his war horse and quickly left, finally merging into the black sea of soldiers.
Zi Chuanxiu stood in place, watching Sterling's back gradually merge into the sea of military formations, with complicated emotions in his eyes. At the moment of turning around, Zi Chuanxiu saw that what was in the eyes of the young military chief was the ashes of despair, a kind of sorrow that went deep into the bone marrow.
"He still can't forget her!" Shikawa Xiu muttered.
"What did you say, sir?" Deputy Commander Lin Bing was surprised: "Your subordinate didn't hear the order just now. Can you repeat that? β
"I said, it's time for us to get ready for the evacuation. Has General Bran withdrawn from Vane? β
"We withdrew in the middle of the night last night, along with the Goang army stationed in Vana. If you have something to report to you, my lord, at yesterday's meeting of elders of the Goon tribe, Elder Gowen was successfully elected as the chief overseer of the Goon tribe. When he arrived last night, he wanted to express his gratitude to you personally, but as you were discussing military affairs with Lord Stirling, he did not dare to disturb him, so he approached me and asked him to turn his compliments. β
"Elder of the Prison Country? I'm afraid it's no different from the patriarch, right? Zichuan Xiu asked, "Is there a big opinion within the Goang clan?" β
"General Bran attended the tribal meeting of the Goang, and he reported to me last night about the proceedings." Lin Bing said with a smile: "During the meeting, everyone was noisy. Finally, General Bran couldn't take it anymore and said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, let me interject and say that His Royal Highness the King of Light wants Elder Gowyn to preside over the affairs of the Goang clan. Immediately, no one dared to rob Gwyn. Your Excellency, after the Crusade, your prestige has increased. The prestige is like the thunder of the Far East and the kingdom, and no tribe dares to obey your command. β
"Oh!" Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "Gowen is really lucky, I also said it casually." β
"My lord, with your current status, I'm afraid that no one will dare to say your words casually. Rude, my lord, your identity has changed. As a superior person, you have to have the consciousness of being like a mountain. Don't be joking anymore. Lin Bing said respectfully.
Knowing that the other party was tactfully shaping himself, Shikawa Xiu nodded in thanks. Constantly in a high position, people are prone to dizziness. In today's Far Eastern Army, Lin Bing is the only one who can warn and alert himself from time to time.
The temperature at dawn was particularly cold, and the cold wind blew down from the gloomy and low sky with the leaves, and blew on the faces of the soldiers marching in the wind, making their cheeks hurt.
In this extreme eastern region, however, in September, Shikawa Shu began to feel the meaning of autumn. He pulled up the collar of his coat and stood on the side of the road indifferently watching the soldiers and horses of the expeditionary force rush by, his eyes slightly red from lack of sleep.
Seeing that Sterling's main battalion was out of the city, Zichuan Xiu was not interested in continuing to watch. He greeted Lin Bing, and the two walked back in the direction of the headquarters. When he was about to arrive at the headquarters, he saw from a distance that there was a group of demons surrounding the door, there were a lot of them, and they were faintly in confrontation with the guards standing guard at the gate.
Seeing that the demon clan blocked the entrance of the headquarters, Zi Chuanxiu and Lin Bing both changed their faces. Zichuan Xiu was so angry that he said: "Dare to block my headquarters, are you going to rebel?" Go and see how it goes! β
Xiao Lin, the captain of the guard, drove his horse over, and soon came back, reporting to Zichuan Xiu: "My lord, there are the chiefs of the various clans of the demon clan. They wanted to see you, but you didn't come back last night to discuss military affairs with Lord Stirling, and they have been waiting for you at the door all night. β
Hearing the reason, Zi Chuanxiu's anger subsided slightly, and he turned his head: "Chief Lin, what do you think?" β
"My lord, the barbarians have struck suddenly, and the expedition has been abandoned before it has been completed. Now, the many demon tribes that belong to you are panicked and worried about their future whereabouts. At this time, you had better soothe them. β
"Chief Lin, you're right. Xiao Lin! β
"Yes, my lord, please command."
"Gather all the animals in the conference room! Tell them I have something to say β that's all, just say it! β
Listening to Zi Chuanxiu's vulgar words, Lin Bing frowned slightly.
Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said, "Chief Lin, the demon clan is very nasty. You treat them well, respect them, and favor them, but they look down on you and find ways to bully and humiliate you. If you treat them hard and trample them under your feet like dogs, then they will treat you like a god β in short, it is better to be nice to them than to beat them. β
After making the chiefs wait for more than an hour, Zichuan Xiucai slowly entered the reception room.
By this time, the room was already full of people, and the tall and short chiefs dressed in animal skins not only filled the chairs around the conference table, but also many people could not find a seat and could only stand. The room was packed, and the air was filled with the sour smell of sweat and the smell of leather armor that had not been bathed for a long time.
There are too many people, and Zichuan Xiu doesn't know that there are so many tribes under his command. At a glance, he only recognized acquaintances such as Gowyn, Lei Leopard, Rose, Rudi, and Gangwa, and most of the patriarchs he didn't know.
It could be seen that the chiefs were waiting a little impatiently, and when they saw Zi Chuanxiu coming in, there was a buzzing discussion in the room.
Zi Chuanxiu didn't greet them either, he walked in all the way, and saw that there was a chief of the bird clan who didn't know what kind of bird clan was actually sitting on the head of the conference table that should be his seat, and he didn't give up his seat when he saw him come in, and he was excitedly talking to the people next to him.
Zi Chuanxiu pursed his lips, kicked with his flying feet, and with a bang, the chief was kicked to the wall on the spot, his head was bleeding, and he fainted on the spot.
In an instant, all the buzz was over. The chiefs didn't dare to breathe, and Wangzi Chuanxiu's eyes were full of awe, and the room was as quiet as a deep valley and secluded forest.
Zichuan Xiu didn't look at anyone, he helped up the chair that had fallen down again, blew the dust and sat on it again. He casually pointed to the two unknown chiefs in front of him: "You, and you, throw that fool who doesn't know whether to live or die for me!" Dare to sit in my seat, phew! β
He was casually like he was commanding a servant, and there was a terrifying majesty in his voice. The two chiefs responded "yes" in unison, not thinking about why Zi Chuanxiu had the right to order them, but panicked and picked up the knocked out chieftain.
The people hurriedly made way for them, and looked at the expressionless King of Light above the chief with fearful eyes, and a whisper was heard among the crowd: "Tsk, do you see? Our King of Light, that is a lion! Hero, hero! β
"The fool of the Hel clan dares to sit on His Highness's chair, he is really looking for his own death!"
"Your Majesty back then was also so mighty! Follow the King of Light, and we will definitely have a future! β
Zi Chuanxiu didn't say a word, just glanced at everyone with a cold gaze. The chiefs shuddered at the sight of his stern gaze, and immediately shut their mouths obediently, and the room fell silent again.
"Time is tight and I'm busy. When I speak, I don't like people to interject. Shikawa Xiu said slowly, his voice full of unquestionable arrogance: "Announce a few things here. First: The crusade against the Seneans has been successfully concluded, and the Zichuan family has won a complete victory. Second: Because of the victory over the Seneans, the family expeditionary force led by General Stirling has retreated today. Thirdly: the main forces of the Far Eastern Army will also retreat tomorrow. Those who are willing to act with our army had better hurry up and make preparations. That's all I have to say. Now, you can say it! β
The last sentence was like opening the floodgates, and there was a buzz of discussion in the room, but no one got up. Zi Chuanxiu was murderous, as sharp as a knife that had just come out of its sheath, and no one wanted to be the first to be slaughtered. In particular, the heads of several large tribes are even more shrewd, waiting for others to speak first.
"Why, don't you make a sound? Wasn't there a lot of jubilation just now? β
At this time, the patriarch of the Gang clan, Gangwa, raised his hand hesitantly: "My lord, Weichen has something to ask." β
Zichuan Xiu leaned his back on the back of the chair restrictively: "Say it." β
"Is the sudden retreat of the family army related to the Kuroshio incident?"
"Idiot!"
The chiefs secretly scolded Gangwa, and the expeditionary force withdrew in panic, apparently to hide from the barbarians. You still have to ask such a messy thing, isn't that tantamount to exposing the shortcomings of the King of Light? If the adults are angry, see how you end up!
Fortunately, Shikawa Xiu didn't get angry. He said lightly: "Our army has dealt a heavy blow to the Senean forces and completed the goal of the expedition, and the family has no intention of garrisoning troops in the eastern region of the kingdom, and retreat is a planned thing." β
Gangwa: "But I've heard ......"
The Tatar patriarch Rose hurriedly grabbed the conversation: "My lord, I want to ask. After the end of the expedition, how does the family plan to arrange our kingdom? β
Ross is his own cronies, and his problem is clearly to help him out. Zichuan Xiu smiled approvingly at Ross and replied, "Before the expedition, I made an alliance with the former patriarch of the Goang clan, Gota Khan, promising to support him in ascending the throne as emperor. During the battle, the Goang warriors fought side by side with our army and gave us strong support. Now, although the lord is unfortunately dead, the family is trustworthy. We are ready to fulfill our promise to support the new Goon Patriarch on his ascension to the throne. As for the future of the kingdom - well, the Elder of the Goon Clan, His Excellency Gowyn, is here, and perhaps he can answer for you. β
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the corner of the conference table, and their eyes contained all kinds of complex feelings: surprise, envy, jealousy, hatred...... Under the gaze of everyone, Elder Gwyn looked flustered. He hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord has said it, I have said it!" Although the previous patriarch did make a covenant with the adults during his lifetime, he has passed away. The heavy responsibility of the Supreme Throne is something that extraordinary people can bear, and we can only appreciate your kindness, Your Highness the King of Light. β
Gowyn actually rejected the throne of the Demon God Emperor? There was a buzz of discussion in the room.
Zi Chuanxiu said unhappily: "Elder Gowen, this is a rare opportunity, why did you give it up?" Do you have any concerns? Listen to it, maybe I can help a little. β
Gowen bowed again and again: "The kindness of the adults, the whole Goang clan feels the same virtue. But my clan is really blessed, and I can't afford to bear the heavy responsibility, so I can only bear the wrong love of adults. I'm sorry. β
"But it's about my promise! I promised to help Lord Gotha Khan ascend to the throne. If I can't honor it, won't it make the world laugh at my Zichuan show words and not believe it? Doesn't it make the spirit of Lord Gotha Khan in heaven unrestful? Shikawa said loudly, as if he was very annoyed.
Seeing that Zi Chuanxiu was annoyed, Gowen looked very flustered, but his attitude was still resolute: "Weichen is panicking. However, the original agreement with Your Highness was with the former patriarch, and now that he is no longer alive, it is impossible to fulfill the covenant. You have done your best to help our people, and this is the will of God, not your fault. The integrity of the adults is world-famous. All of you here are witnesses, and who dares to laugh at our people's unwillingness to accept and not to repent? I believe that the former patriarch has a spirit in the sky, and I will also remember your sincerity, and will never blame you. β
"Alas, Gwyn, you are going to trap me in a land of unbelief and injustice!"
"Weichen never dares to have this idea, please don't have this idea!"
Hearing the answer between the two, the demon chief was amazed, there is really such a strange thing in the world! On the one hand, he forced others to be emperors, but on the other hand, he desperately shirked. The position of the Demon God Emperor fell from the sky, and Gowyn didn't even do it!
Only Zichuan Xiu understands in his heart that Gowyn is a smart person. The title of Demon God Emperor is a sharp double-edged sword. When Gota Khan was alive, the Goang clan was one of the most powerful clans in the kingdom, and he ascended the throne of the Demon God Emperor, which was like a tiger with wings, and could command all directions and shock the kingdom. And when he arrived at Gowyn, he was not even the patriarch, but he barely became an "elder of the prison country" with the support of Zichuan Xiu, and there were many strengths in the clan, and even if Gowyn, who had an unstable foundation, became the Demon God Emperor, it was useless, it would only attract the covetousness of more tribes and become the target of public criticism. To be such a Demon God Emperor would do more harm than good.
But how did the chiefs know about Gwyn's troubles! When Lu Di saw them back and forth, his eyes were red with jealousy, and his mouth was pouting. Relying on the fact that he was an acquaintance of Zichuan Xiu, he leaned forward with a salivating face: "My lord, since the good people of the Goang clan don't want to be the god emperor, don't force them." Let's just pick another one. β
Zi Chuanxiu squinted at Emperor Lu with a smile on his face: "Oh? Who do you mean, who should you choose? β
"My lord, there is a loyal courtier who has followed you for many years, he is highly respected and highly regarded by the people, and enjoys high prestige among the Protoss, and he is the best candidate for His Majesty the Divine Emperor!" As he spoke, Lu Di straightened his chest and protruded his belly, and tried to put on a respectable posture, but Zi Chuanxiu just glanced at him, and quickly turned his gaze to the side: "Where is the best candidate you said?" Why didn't I see it? β
"My lord, look here, look here!"
ββ¦β¦ Still haven't seen it. Lu Di, stand next to me and don't block my view. β
Lu Di hung his head and hid to the side in dismay.
Duke Thunder Leopard got up and said, "My lord, after the expedition is over, we Thunder Clan want to continue to follow your battle banner and contribute our insignificant efforts to your lordship. I hope that adults will continue to take care of us. I wonder if adults can agree? β
The Marquis of Gangwa then stood up and said in a rough voice, "Exactly." My lord, we of the Gang Clan have great respect for you. We all want to continue to follow you and fight for you. β
Zi Chuanxiu groaned and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking.
The chiefs stared at him with blazing eyes, waiting for his reply, and did not dare to breathe. Gangwa was so nervous that his hands were trembling slightly.
All the heads of the clans here guessed that after the withdrawal of the human expeditionary force, the kingdom would usher in a new era of chaos without the control of the human expeditionary force. Eighty years ago, the bloody people of the Dark Ages were still crowded, it was an era when murder was like grass and silence, and extermination was commonplace.
At the height of the chaos, an average of one tribe was wiped out every week. Today's killers become tomorrow's slain, and every tribe is teetering on the brink of extinction, and everyone is at risk.
At this time, the far-sighted chiefs had to plan ahead. In the coming troubled times, it is very necessary to find a strong backer.
After a long time, Zichuan Xiu said in a deep voice: "Three months ago, we gathered here and signed an alliance to jointly crusade against the Seneans. I am very touched by the hard work of all of you over the past few months, the courage to move forward, and the sacrifice that you have shedding your blood. You have faithfully fulfilled your covenant with concrete actions, and I will not forget my promise to you. β
Lei Leopard's face was overjoyed, and his voice trembled slightly: "My lord, what do you mean?" β
"I initially thought about a few terms, let's see, what's wrong. First: All the tribes that participate in the Vahnstad Alliance, the League guarantees their security and protects their gates and territories from encroachment. Second: members of the alliance must follow the orders of the chairman of the alliance, including dispatching troops and providing material support. Third, members of the alliance shall not resort to the use of force in the event of a dispute. If it cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to the President of the Alliance for adjudication. Fourth: The spoils of war obtained in foreign wars are distributed by the chairman of the alliance according to the contributions of the participating tribes. β
Zi Chuanxiu said in one breath, and all the chiefs looked solemn. Although it was only four articles, the patriarchs knew that this was tantamount to depriving the tribe of independent military power, and they were all weighing whether it was worth it.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said, "Of course, I am a very democratic person. If anyone doesn't want to join, I won't force it. But now that the alliance has just been formed, this is a rare opportunity, and if you join the alliance, you will be the founder of the alliance. If you want to join in the future, you have to agree with all the members of the alliance. β
A little chief said, "My lord, will we be safe by joining the Alliance?" β
"As long as you fulfill your obligations to the Alliance, the Covenant also has a responsibility to keep you safe." After thinking about it for a while, Zi Chuanxiu changed his popular expression: "Let's put it this way, if you are a far away from the alliance and you take the initiative to provoke others, then the alliance can help you, and don't blame if it can't help you; But if someone else comes to you for trouble, then there is no need to say, the alliance is absolutely responsible to the end! β
The banquet suddenly became excited. Patriarch Ross was the first to stand up: "My lord, please allow me to join the alliance!" The Tatars are ready to serve the Alliance! β
Immediately afterwards, Lu Di also stood up and said with a grin: "I want to join too!" β
The two of them can be said to be the first demon generals to follow Zichuan Xiu, and they know their fate, and they don't care about participating in one more alliance.
Immediately afterwards, the chiefs of some small tribes expressed their willingness to join the Vahnstad Alliance. They also understand that their own tribe is not capable of protecting themselves anyway, and instead of being annexed by those big tribes, it is better to be the backer of Zichuan Xiu now.
To these small clan chiefs, Zi Chuan Xiu smiled and said, "You have made a wise choice. β
Duke Lei Leopard asked aloud, "My lord, you just mentioned the chairman of the alliance. Excuse me, who is the chairman of the alliance? β
"It depends on who everyone recommends."
"My lord, if you are the chairman of the Alliance, we ThunderClan ask the whole ThunderClan to join!"
"Please allow us to join in!"
Now, all that was left of the Goron and a few of their vassal clans was left. The Goang clan itself is a big kingdom and does not necessarily need to rely on the protection of Zichuan Xiu to protect itself, and is not very keen on exchanging military power for security guarantees. Therefore, Gowyn was very hesitant and did not make a statement.
Looking at Gowen, Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "The elder of the prison country seems to be a little undecided? Do you want to go back and counsel with your patriarchs? Although he is only eleven years old, he is the head of a clan after all, and this kind of important matter should be discussed with him. At the same time, Zichuan Xiu snorted lowly.
Gowyn's face immediately turned pale. He is also an extremely well-behaved person, and he understands Zi Chuanxiu's unspoken threat: Don't forget, who helped you to the position of the elder of the prison country? And don't forget, you have a patriarch on your head! Annoyed Lao Tzu, it may be more troublesome to change the patriarch, and it is really simple to change the elder of the prison country, but it is just a matter of sending a message to the elders of the Goang clan!
Elder Gewen held his composure and talked eloquently: "The ancients said well, if you divide the strength, you will be weak, and if you are united, you will be strong. Now that the kingdom is in turmoil, we should all the more huddle together and help each other. Only when we work together can we protect our homeland. Now, the Lord of Light has created an alliance to maintain peace in the kingdom, and that is a great thing! I, the Goang people, are determined to follow in the wings of our lords and create a better future together. β
Zi Chuanxiu smiled and agreed: "It is worthy of Elder Gowen, the level is different, and I see the key to the problem." Yes, one person has little power
It's insignificant, but as long as we are united, we will be stronger, and we will no longer have to worry about being bullied by foreigners all day long, will we? β
"Your Excellency is so right!" The chiefs agreed: "We don't have to worry about being bullied by outsiders anymore." He muttered in his heart: "I'm just worried about being bullied by you." β
Now that the Goon clan has taken a stand, the weight of the Vahnstad alliance is immediately very different. No matter how strong Zichuan Xiu is, he is an outsider, and
The Goang people have a long history and are different. They have deep roots in the kingdom and are more likely to be trusted by their native tribes. Right away, that
Some of the tribes that had been hesitant just now also expressed their willingness to join the alliance.
In the midst of the clamour, someone shouted, "We also join the alliance with a look of expression, I wonder if Lord Bright King agrees?" β
Zi Chuanxiu replied casually: "Welcome, welcome!" What tribe are you from? β
"My people's name is Senea."
It was like a sharp axe falling suddenly, and all the noise was seen in an instant. People turned their heads in astonishment
They looked up, but they couldn't find who was talking.
Zi Chuanxiu's eyes showed a cold light, and Sen Ran said, "Has the Golden Clan also arrived?" Who is it, why don't you show up? β
The voice came from among a group of small patriarchs. Now, under the terrifying gaze of Zi Chuanxiu, those sesame mung bean big patriarchs
He crawled to the ground and dodged to both sides, waving his hands again and again, indicating that it was none of their business.
As a result, the two cloaked figures still standing in place stand out like the rocks on the beach in the low tide lake. It turned out to be a big one just now
Piles of people came in in a mess, the guards didn't check, the little chiefs came from all over the world, and they didn't interact with each other much, and they didn't notice that there were two in between
Something is wrong personally.
Two cloaked men bowed to Zichuan Xiu at the same time: "See General of the King of Light." β
Zi Chuan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly: "No need to be polite, Your Majesty Cardin." Now that you've arrived, you don't have to hide your head and cover your face. β
The two uncovered their cloaks. The contemporary Demon God Emperor Yingying stood there, with bright teeth and bright eyes, dressed in a military uniform. A tall old demon stood with her
Beside him, he stood like a rock.
"It's really His Majesty Cardin!" The chiefs roared out, their voices full of surprise.
Many chiefs were generals under the command of the Demon God Emperor Carter back then, and they had all seen Cardin who often followed the Demon God Emperor. No one expected it, Senea
The supreme leader, the contemporary Demon God Emperor, actually had the courage to run to the base camp of the expeditionary force alone.
"Your Majesty Cardin! Here she comes! β
"Your Majesty Cardin! What is she here for? β
The discussion became louder and louder, and all eyes were focused on that beautiful figure.
Cardin walked all the way through the crowd, her demeanor solemn, and in front of her, the fierce demon generals retreated like a tide, and no one dared to stop her way. Even, many chiefs in the crowd bent down deeply and bowed to their former masters, while Cardin nodded solemnly in return.
In this slender, petite and weak woman, the demon generals' generals felt a kind of coercion, like flowing water. The chiefs who had met the Demon God Emperor Carter had already recalled this familiar feeling, and only in the presence of that person would they bear this indescribable majesty and weight.
A unique royal spirit!
Sitting in his seat, Zi Chuanxiu's face was expressionless, but his pupils slowly narrowed: the Seneans ruled for nearly a hundred years, and orthodoxy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The chiefs swore allegiance to themselves, but when their orthodox emperor appeared, they continued to bow down to orders out of habitual obedience.
The demons are such a strange people! The princes of the towns dared to slaughter and burn the Senean populace with brutality, but when confronted directly with the Senean imperial power, even if it was a sladen one, they became so respectful and fearful.
In this way, walking in front of Zichuan Xiu, Cardin bowed to Zichuan Xiu: "See General Bright King." β
After staring at Cardin's beautiful face for a while, Zichuan Xiucai stood up from his chair, bowed and saluted back, "No need to be polite. Your Majesty is a guest from afar, please be seated. β
Without him having to speak, one of the chiefs quickly got up from his chair and gave up his seat to Cardin. Cardin sat down, and the tall old demon followed behind her, majestically guarding Cardin, his eyes as sharp as lightning. In this old demon clan, Zi Chuanxiu felt the murderous aura, the kind of murderous aura unique to battle-hardened generals.
Most of the famous generals withered, in addition to Yun Qianxue, the Senea clan actually had such a general, Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Notice his gaze. Cardin introduced: "This is General Amu, the governor of the border garrison of our country's eastern wilderness. He fought against barbarians for a long time and was an authority on barbarian issues. β
General Amu silently gave a military salute to Zichuan Xiu, his face expressionless. He did not shy away from looking at Zichuan Xiu. The gaze was cold and hardβthe smell of a soldier-to-soldier, a collision of steel. At first glance, Zichuan Xiu had a good impression of him: yes, he is a man.
His gaze turned to Cardin and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Majesty is still beautiful." I don't know what your majesty is here for? First of all, I will guarantee that Your Majesty will leave Vahnstad safely, and please rest assured, Your Majesty. β
Cardin smiled: "It is precisely because we believe in the great reputation of the General of the King of Light that we dare to come here. As I heard that you are forging an alliance to maintain order in the kingdom, we Senea are like-minded with you, so I wonder if you can let me join in the cause? β
"Your Majesty isn't joking, is he? What do you know about the Wharnstad Alliance? β
"Maintain order in the kingdom and keep peace, isn't it?"
Zi Chuanxiu smiled dumbly, and he shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty." You're right, but there's one more thing missing. β
With a smile, Zichuan Xiu said solemnly: "Completely exterminate the bloody tribe of Senea." That's what we're really for! In an instant, a fierce murderous aura poured out, and Zi Chuanxiu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and they were sharp.
Feeling that the young man in front of him suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura, General Amu's rock-like cold face couldn't help but be moved. He quietly took half a step forward and sideways to protect Cardin.
Cardin's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "The battle of the Western Expedition is a tragedy, both for humanity and for us. The vast majority of the people who started and participated in that war, the General of Light, have already died. Like humans, we have suffered heavy losses. β
"Ridiculous. The robber was injured, and he actually had the face to cry in front of the bitter master? Your Majesty Cardin, although you have not supported or participated in the Western Invasion War, since you are the current Demon God Emperor, there is no way, this blood debt will fall on Your Excellency to recover! β
"My personal life and death are insignificant, I just ask you to listen to my words, general."
Zi Chuanxiu leaned back comfortably in the chair and regained his composure: "What did Your Majesty say?" It's not to mention that you and I have a lot of connections in the early years, even if you are my great enemy who kills quickly, you come to my camp alone, I can't let you lose a single hair from me. If you have something to say, please say it, I'm busy, and I still have some patience - but please don't say anything like that, our invaders have also been hurt a lot, so let's stop talking and this nonsense! β
Cardin lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she said softly, "King of Light, may we go out and talk alone?" β
After staring at her for a while, Zichuan Xiu said steadily, "Okay." β
On both sides of the road are endless fir forests, all of which are so tall, luxuriant, and magnificent, like elite soldiers who have been selected. Layers of white flowers pressed like snow on the broad trunks of the fir groves, and feather-like clumps of white flocculent coiled among the twigs.
