Chapter 742: The Battle Begins
Jing Chen still felt a little incredulous about the fact that he suddenly had such a large fief, although Emperor Lingjia was right, as a prince of the empire, he could indeed have a fief of his own, but his relationship with Emperor Lingjia was not a real father and son, even a godfather and son.
The fundamental reason why Jingchen recognized Ling Jia as his godfather was that it was convenient for him to take away Ling Xue's "corpse", and Jing Chen didn't think much about the rest, and the original Emperor Lingjia was not as enthusiastic as he is today.
"There is nothing surprising to be surprised that this is a society where the law of the jungle eats the strong, you have the ability and strength, and naturally you have everything. Ríos's voice suddenly sounded in Jing Chen's mind, for the meaning of Ríos's words, Jing Chen naturally understood in his heart that his current self was different from the self whose strength had just broken through the sixth level that day, even if he was the emperor of the Holy Spirit Empire, he was willing to bet on his future.
After being silent for a long time, Emperor Lingjia raised his head, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "Xiao Chen, come out of the city with me, I'm afraid there will be a big battle in this Gama City in a while." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Jingchen.
Slightly stunned, Jing Chen also understood what Emperor Lingjia meant, it seems that the Holy Spirit is ready to launch a general attack tonight, of course, for the Holy Spirit army, the general attack is only a matter of time or time, such a large army is overwhelming, and the Holy Spirit has no possibility of a hasty end.
Although it is said that the Gama Kingdom is his hometown, but for the Gama Kingdom, Jingchen does not have much nostalgia, this is not because Jingchen has forgotten his roots, but because the town where he was a child is too closed, and all along, Jingchen only likes to be with his father Sedum and rarely has contact with other peers, so the Gamma Kingdom did not leave a deep impression on him.
"Your Majesty, I won't go out of the city with you, I promised Yanran just now that I want to go to her house to have a look, if I don't go this time, I'm afraid it won't have to be next time. Jingchen smiled and looked at Emperor Lingjia. At this moment, what Jingchen was thinking about was not only to meet Yue Yanran's parents, but he also had another plan, that is, to discuss some things with Yue Yanran's father, Yue Ran.
Although there is not much contact with Yueran, Jingchen can see that Yueran's talent is far from being as simple as it is now shown in people's eyes, I don't know why, Jingchen always feels that the revenge of such a capable Yueran is definitely not simple, just looking at the rapid development of the elf Yueran family over the years, and can see something, of course, Yueran, who can make the Yuejia develop so rapidly, is undoubtedly capable of it.
After a little hesitation, Emperor Lingjia smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it's time to go and see, you and Yanran are about to become adults, and when you get married, I must hold a grand wedding for you, haha......" Emperor Lingjia seemed to laugh happily.
It's a pity that at that moment, a touch of bitterness flashed in the eyes of Emperor Lingjia, but it betrayed him, although he didn't want to think about it, but Emperor Lingjia's mind couldn't help but flash a thought, if his daughter hadn't died at the beginning, would his daughter be married to Jingchen now?
Of course, this kind of thought only flashed in Emperor Lingjia's mind, and he would definitely not mention these sad things at this moment, which not only did not benefit his relationship with Jingchen, on the contrary, it was easy for Jingchen to have an indelible shadow on the Holy Spirit Empire, which was what Emperor Lingjia was most afraid of.
This kind of speculation is not Ling Jia's groundless, just looking at Jingchen's attitude towards the Gama Kingdom, Ling Jia knows that although this Jingchen is powerful, but he is not very fond of nostalgia, in the final analysis, Jingchen is a more casual person, if there is any resistance to the Holy Spirit in his heart, Ling Jia has no doubt that Jingchen will move to other places, or even join other empires, that is the last thing Ling Jia wants to see.
On the first day of January in the year 9004 of the continental calendar, the night.
Most of the residents of Gama City have fallen asleep, although they also know that the army of the Holy Spirit Empire has surrounded the city, but these ordinary residents do not have much panic, from the news from other parts of Gama, these civilians already know that the Holy Spirit army will not harass the civilians of Gama too much, and will not even capture them to serve as coolies in the supply line.
"Give me some spirits, the Holy Spirit's gang of miscellaneous people may not attack at any time, be careful of their sneak attack tonight!" An officer in a lilac uniform patrolled back and forth at the head of Gama's eastern city, he was just a division commander of Gama's army, and his division was in charge of guarding this eastern city today.
From time to time, the divisional commander's gaze glanced into the distance, the barracks of the Holy Spirit army, and every time a deep fear flashed in his eyes, yes, he was afraid, he was afraid, but he couldn't do anything, because his family had been sent to the Bardros and didn't know where to go. Nominally, Badros said that this would help protect their families from the fighting, but in reality, he and the senior military officials knew that Badros was simply trying to threaten them with the lives of his family.
Of course, even if he knows this, the commander of this division has no way, as a small division commander, he has only more than 5,000 people under his command, and these 5,000 people are not completely dispatched by him alone, even if he has the idea of rebelling to overthrow Badros, but this person is too small compared to the nearly 100,000 army in Gama City at this moment.
Not only that, even tonight, on this eastern city, it is not up to him to decide, thinking of this, the division commander's eyes glanced at the direction of the city tower with some jealousy, where twenty royal guards were sitting. The strength of these guards is at least level four, and the strength of this pair of guards captains has reached the terrifying peak of the fifth level, which is three orders higher than his own strength, which is also the main reason why he does not dare to rebel against Gama.
Inside the castle tower of the eastern city wall.
Basara is taking his men to sit around a stove to keep warm, the Kingdom of Gama is located in the northeast of the continent, it is very cold here in winter, Rao is these people who have reached the fourth level, or even the fifth level, can not withstand the cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, at this moment Basara is holding a glass of spirits in one hand, and is talking with these of his subordinates.
Today's Basara was extremely excited, because his strength had just broken through to the peak of the fifth level, and was personally awarded the rank of captain of the Royal Guard by Badros the Great, which was equivalent to the existence of the corps commander.
Not only that, but today is a good thing for Basara, that is, the woman he has always liked, the daughter of the Marquis de La Barton, Ace actually told him in the afternoon that his parents had agreed to the marriage of the two, which undoubtedly made Basara, who had just been promoted, even more excited, and it was precisely because of this that even the rule that alcohol was not allowed on duty was completely ignored by Basara, he wanted to be happy, to drink, to ......
"Squeak......
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Just when Basara was drinking wine and boasting to his subordinates about his glorious deeds over the years, a terrible alarm pierced the quiet night sky, which also made the half-drunk and half-awake Basara's body tremble suddenly, and his originally somewhat drowsy head was completely awake at this moment.
"Damn, brothers, go out with me to see, these grandsons of the Holy Spirit, smack ......" Basara stood up scolding, walked towards the outside of the city tower, sitting under Basara in the city tower, naturally it was not easy to say anything, many people tightened their clothes, and glanced at it nostalgically, the fire that was still burning, although they were unwilling, they had to leave this warm city tower, to meet the biting cold wind outside the city tower.
"Poof......
Before Basara could see the situation outside, he only felt a flash of cold in front of him, and then he felt a cold slash across his neck, and then Basara felt that his head suddenly became unusually dull, he touched his neck with his hand, but found that his hands were full of bright red blood, Basara struggled to open his mouth, as if he wanted to call for help, or shout something, but unfortunately, his neck was almost cut off, and he could no longer make any sound.
"Poof!"
The subordinates of Basara who were following behind Basara and were about to walk out of the city tower saw the scene that made their hearts shrink violently, only to see Basara holding his neck with his hand, and fell softly, a large amount of blood gushing out from Basara's fingers, and his helpless and desperate eyes, the faces of these royal guards showed deep fear, they really didn't understand who killed their squadron leader in such a simple and violent way.
However, their doubts did not last long, only to see two black shadows break into the city tower at the same time, before these royal guards could see the appearance of the comer, four short blades shining with cold light had already cut the necks of these people, how could these people, who were not as strong as Basara, be able to dodge this short blade with a roar of death, and in a short time, all the royal guards in the east city tower followed in the footsteps of their squadron leader.
These two black shadows did not leave immediately, their two pairs of murderous eyes slowly swept over the entire city tower, when it was determined that there were no living people, the two figures flashed, and disappeared into the city tower in an instant, from the two people came in to leave, it was only a few tens of seconds, and in these tens of seconds, a squadron leader of the Gama Royal Guard, known as the strongest guard of Gama, known as the royal shield of Gama, and more than a dozen members, turned into corpses, and none of them survived.
The same thing happened not only in another city tower in the east city, but also in the towers of several other cities, obviously, these people are the strong men of the Holy Spirit Empire, and what they did was to clear the obstacles for the army of the Holy Spirit Empire, and the army that was originally besieging the Holy Spirit Empire also poured into Gama City like a tide.
The Great War has begun.
"Chen, why are you here?" Yue Yanran looked at Jing Chen who appeared at the door of her house in surprise, and after only a few hours of separation, she saw Jing Chen again, Yue Yanran's heart was naturally very happy, and regardless of the surprised eyes of the attendants around her, Yue Yanran stepped forward so naturally and took Jing Chen's hand.
"Come and meet your parents. Jingchen smiled and looked at the woman beside him, I don't know why, every time he saw Yue Yanran, Jingchen felt that his heart had become a lot calmer, and those intrigue calculations seemed to have been forgotten by him.
"Ah?!" Yue Yanran exclaimed, covering her small mouth with her other hand, at this moment, I don't know what she thought, her pretty face was as red as a ripe apple.
"Yanran, why don't you let Xiao Chen come in and sit?" At this moment, Yue Ran's voice sounded from the courtyard.
"Oh, yes, yes, come in with me. As he spoke, he took Jingchen's hand and walked towards his own courtyard.
As soon as I entered the mansion of the Yue family, which covers a large area, I happened to see Yue Ran coming out of it, and when he saw Jingchen, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Chen, do you come to our house, go, go, let's go in and sit." As he spoke, he walked on the other side of Jingchen, as if he didn't see his daughter holding Jingchen's hand at all, and Yue Yanran didn't let go of Jingchen's hand because of her father's appearance.
