"I'll go, I really treat me as a soldier of the empire, and I can be dispatched as much as I want."

Li Qing shook his hands with a smile and shook a piece of dispatch order: "As soon as I made a great achievement, I was transferred from the East China Sea Fleet, and I was asked to go to the Southern Theater, where the battle was most severe, and I must report for duty within one month...... Sister, do you really think that a major general rank can buy me? ”

In Li Qing's opinion, the rank of major general is what he deserves.

He believes that with his own merits, it is not too much to jump a few levels in a row and break through the gap between generals and become a general.

You must know that the battle of Zhongshan Island was an unprecedented victory for the empire since the start of the war. In the first battle, he completely annihilated the main force of the Amaterasu Navy, captured a super battleship, annihilated 20,000 elites of the Amaterasu Land Division, killed legendary mages, silver shield knights, holy warriors of the Radiant Holy Sect, and priests, killed a large number of strong people of the Amaterasu Pillar Kingdom, and plotted against several strong people of the Pillar Country......

Such a great achievement has been unprecedented since the beginning of the war.

All the officers and men who defended Zhongshan Island were rewarded. Even the 300 Tianzhao mercenaries were greatly rewarded.

Xiaolongnu teleported to Zhongshan Island alone, and the reinforcements were meritorious, although the military rank was not promoted, but she also got a set of high-level spiritual weapon-level battle armor, and the merits were also recorded, and she only waited for the future to make great contributions and be rewarded together.

However, Li Qing was only promoted to military rank and rank, as well as some monetary rewards, which made him very dissatisfied.

He was very envious of the reward that the little dragon girl had received, and he really wanted some practical spiritual weapon-level weapons and equipment.

"What about being a major general? Isn't it great to be crowned? Don't you want me to keep working hard? Why don't you give me something practical, I don't ask for legendary weapons, it's good to have a dozen high-level spiritual weapons at the quasi-legendary level! ”

In fact, it is Li Qing, a person from an alien plane, who feels that the military rank and position are not as good as high-level spiritual weapons. But in the eyes of the Empire, the value of military rank and position is far greater than that of any high-level spiritual weapon.

If it weren't for the empire's desire to win over Li Qing, a super strong warrior, and to influence Su Su, who had a close relationship with him, how could he casually promote him, a black household of unknown origin who had no identity record in the empire, to a general?

Even if it's just a major general, it's a real major general with military power! It represents power, status, and wealth!

What high-level spiritual weapon can be more valuable than a major general with real power? It's not a Zhenguo spiritual weapon like the Thunder Green Dragon Halberd.

"That's it!"

Su Su was playing with a gorgeous bracelet while interjecting next to him: "The major general is a god horse?" When I take back the lost country, I will seal an entire plane to the knight and make him the king of the world. Well, I'm going to make a full Legendary Nightmare set for the Knight, and I'm in the process of scraping together the materials, so I'll do it when I'm ready, and arm the Knight from the hair to the soles of the feet! ”

The beautiful bracelet she was playing with had been brought down with the decree of the canonization this time, and had been paid for by the Imperial Family.

The bracelet was a storage artifact, the storage space was the size of a room, much more spacious than Susu's broken storage bag. There were also 1,000 taels of gold inside, as well as a large amount of precious metals and spell materials.

This batch of materials has greatly improved the progress of material collection for Su Su's plan to create the "Nightmare Suit". Suddenly, Su Su felt that the royal family was not so stingy, and he no longer slandered the emperor for treating meritorious heroes poorly.

"Thank you for your generosity, my esteemed majesty." Li Qing pretended to give Su Su a knightly salute.

"You deserve it, my valiant knight." Su Su is also serious, sitting on the table and pretending to be the queen.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later. So what now? Xiaolongnu looked at Li Qing: "Do you want to obey the dispatch, or do you want to refuse?" If you don't want to go to the Southern Military Region, I can ask Yue Du for their help. With the face of the three admirals of Zhenguo, if you insist on keeping people, you can still stay in the East China Sea Fleet. ”

"Go, of course! Why not? ”

Unexpectedly, Li Qing actually gave the opposite answer: "The main force of the Amaterasu Navy has been wiped out, and the East China Sea Fleet will not take the initiative to attack Amaterasu for a while." For a long time, I don't think there was a hard battle to fight. It's not good for me. The Southern Theater is different, there are battles every day, which is just right for me to level up. ”

The southern theater of operations is different from the east.

The main enemy in the east is Amaterasu, which is attached to the Holy Light Alliance. After the main force of the Amaterasu Navy was completely destroyed, if the Holy Light Alliance did not directly allocate fleet support, Amaterasu would not be able to pose a threat to the empire for a long time.

After all, there is a vast sea between the two countries, even if there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Amaterasu, and there are many troops sent by the Holy Light Alliance, no matter how strong the troops are, without a fleet, it is just a decoration.

And if you want to restore the navy, it is not a simple matter. At least with the national strength of Amaterasu Province, without the direct support of the Holy Light Alliance, within three or five years, there will be no attempt to restore the navy to the level before the destruction of the main force.

Therefore, the East China Sea Fleet, which is responsible for the defense of the East, will basically not have a big war during this period.

As for the Imperial side taking the initiative to attack Amaterasu, it is impossible to do it for the time being.

After all, Amaterasu is also a small regional power, with a large population, sufficient military resources, and the strong and dispatched troops of the Holy Light Alliance. With the strength of the East China Sea Fleet alone, if you want to take the initiative to attack Amaterasu, if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will end up with the same fate as the Amaterasu Navy.

For Amaterasu, a small and strong country like Amaterasu, whose own strength is not too weak, and which has strong foreign aid from the Holy Light Alliance, even with the strength of the empire, it has to mobilize more than 30% of the country's troops to be sure that it will be wiped out.

But now that the empire is under attack on all sides and is still in the strategic defense stage, how can it be possible to mobilize such a powerful force to attack Amaterasu?

This is a war of the century in which the East and the West are in full confrontation, and the war is bound to last for a long time. The Holy Light Alliance should not think that it could swallow the empire in one fell swoop, and the empire would not think of defeating the Holy Light Alliance in one fell swoop with the momentum of being able to plow the court and sweep the holes.

Even if it's just Amaterasu, a vassal state of the Holy Light Alliance, don't think that you can defeat it in a short period of time and drive the forces of the Holy Light Alliance away from the Amaterasu Islands.

Therefore, the next task of the East China Sea Fleet is to continue to defend the eastern seaboard. At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Amaterasu Navy has not yet recovered, he will go to the coast of Amaterasu Province to harass him every other day and attack the Holy Light Alliance's sea supply lines to Amaterasu, so as to continue to weaken Amaterasu's war potential.

Such a form is obviously very unfavorable to Li Qing, a war maniac who has to rely on darkness devouring to quickly increase his strength.

And the war shape in the south is completely different.

To the south of the empire, there is a long and winding border with a small country in the South Seas. Now those small countries have been conquered and become client states of the Holy Light Alliance.

Therefore, the south has a long land battlefield. The Holy Light Alliance has driven millions of servant armies to attack the empire on the southern border, using cannon fodder servant armies to consume the empire's vital forces.

On the imperial side, there are also servant armies.

In the process of the expansion of the Holy Light Alliance, a large number of Western wanderers who had formed a blood feud with the Holy Light Alliance came to the Empire one after another, joined the Empire's foreign legions, and fought against the Holy Light Alliance. Those small countries in the South Seas that were destroyed, there were also a large number of remnants who were unwilling to give in, fled into the territory of the empire, and joined the imperial army with the dream of recovering the country and the hatred of the Holy Light Alliance.

Both sides have a large number of servant armies, and they don't care much about the life or death of the servant army, and they both want to use the servant army to consume the opponent's vital strength, so there are battles in the southern theater every day, and there are bloody battles every month. Since the start of the war in May last year, the casualties on both sides have been more than 10,000 per month. In a big battle after the harvest last autumn, the two sides fought a tragic casualty ratio of 70,000 to 40,000.

By now, the casualties on both sides of the Southern Theater War have accumulated to more than 200,000. As the attacker, the Holy Light Alliance suffered more casualties, close to 300,000. The Imperial side is a little less, and there are more than 200,000.

Of course, most of this heavy casualty figure was borne by the servant armies of both sides. The casualties on both sides were not particularly large, not even more than 10,000.

Judging from the scene, the imperial side seems to look better. But the shape shì is actually bad for the empire.

Because the Holy Light Alliance has too many client states in its hands, they can raise an army of millions of servants, and materials can also be directly requisitioned from the client states. No matter how badly the fight is, it will only consume the manpower and materials of the client state.

And although the empire also has a large number of servant troops, every time they win a battle, they try not to kill or inflict as many casualties as possible, and capture prisoners to replenish losses, but in terms of materials, they are not as rich as the Holy Light Alliance.

After all, no matter how cannon fodder the servant army is, they have to provide them with weapons, armor, food and grass, right?

There should also be no shortage of military salaries - those servant troops who take the initiative to serve the empire have a blood feud with the Holy Light Alliance, and the battle is very active and ferocious, but people can fight once or twice with blood and hatred, but after a long time and more battles, most people's beliefs will inevitably be shaken.

Only the most realistic interests can maintain the morale of those servant troops who do not have the concept of "defending the homeland and defending the country" for a long time -- after all, the imperial soldiers who have the concept of "defending the homeland and defending the country" cannot shorten their military salaries, and they must not let the heroes shed blood and tears, right?

As for those servant troops who have been converted from captives, they need both money and sticks to maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

The empire does not have as many vassal states as the Holy Light Alliance to squeeze, and all the materials and silver money are all provided by the country. Therefore, in terms of manpower, the two sides are not equal for the time being, and the empire is more at a loss in terms of materials.

Fortunately, the empire's productivity and organization are the first in the world, which can withstand the massive war consumption.

The fierce shape of the Southern Theater of Operations is a good place for Li Qing to play the dark devouring.

Although with his current strength, ordinary soldiers, and even ordinary strong people, can't provide him with too much energy, but how little it accumulates, gathering sand into a tower, no matter how little energy there is, it can always accumulate and slowly improve, right?

In addition to Earth No. 2, in addition to the Southern War Zone, where can we find this kind of opportunity to "slaughter five million" and preach "the best of the best"?

Therefore, in the Southern Theater, he had to go.

Besides, he prefers to fight on the ground rather than naval battles. His ability is also more suitable for playing on the ground battlefield.

Especially the Nightmare Demon.

The Nightmare Demon Body is not particularly useful in naval battles, to be honest. With the vastness of the naval battlefield, the distance between the ships in the naval battle, and the short duration of five minutes for the Nightmare Demon Body, it would be very good to be able to destroy one or two capital ships.

However, the results of one or two capital ships could not play a decisive role in the battle of a large fleet with dozens or hundreds of ships. Only in the operation of small detachments can it play a decisive role.

But this is obviously a waste of his ability.

If it was on the land battlefield, with the power of his nightmare demon body, the large array of 10,000 people would not be able to stop his iron cavalry assault, and they would all collapse under his impact.

After all, the army of this world, even if it is the regular army of a powerful country, the main soldiers are just ordinary soldiers of the black iron level.

With the strength of the Black Iron Grade, which is only level 1 to 4, it is impossible to block the terrifying impact of Li Qing's Nightmare Demon Body, which is even more terrifying than that of a heavy tank.

When the large army was fighting, a little collapse spread to the whole front, and there were countless cases of the whole army being defeated like a mountain.

If the timing is chosen correctly, his nightmare demon body in just five minutes may be able to determine the outcome of a 100,000-level battle.

The empire sent him to the Southern Theater of Operations, thinking that it was precisely because of his nightmare demon body's strong strength on the land battlefield that was enough to influence the tide of the war.

Su Su also agreed with Li Qing's choice.

She said: "As a knight, the land battlefield is Li Qing's real stage. Only by going to the Southern Theater can he play his role to the fullest. In addition, the Southern Theater fights every day, which just provides me with a lot of movie material. And wow, the main line of the movie has been almost done along the way, and on the way to the Southern War Zone, it is just time to slowly fill in the lines and improve the details. When we get to the Southern Theater, we can officially start filming. ”

Su Su supported Li Qing, not to mention Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, and Chu Lingfeng. Song Qiqi also unconditionally supported Su Su, and now everyone decided to go to the Southern War Zone, Xiaolongnu had no choice but to say unhappily: "Then what should I do?" Is a person left in the East China Sea Fleet? ”

Everyone came from the earth together, and even if the little dragon girl was affected by Long Linghan's remaining will, she didn't want to stay alone in the East China Sea Fleet.

Before, she hoped that Li Qing and the others would stay in the East China Sea Fleet, and for this reason, they all planned to ask Yue Shanjun and other Zhenguo powerhouses to help. But now that Li Qing has decided to go to the southern battlefield to participate in the battle training, Xiaolongnu is depressed.

Because she is different from Su Su and Chu Lingfeng.

Although Su Su was canonized as the county lord, the empire obviously knew that it was impossible to forcibly restrain a mage like her. Therefore, she was neither asked to go to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, nor did she arrange an official and a half-position, and was completely laissez-faire.

Su Su is now going wherever she wants, unrestrained and free.

And Chu Lingfeng, Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, and Song Qiqi, whose external identities are all followers of Li Qing and Su Su's personal guards. Although they also made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, the credit was all attributed to Li Qing and Su Su. The empire also gave them the rank of lieutenant this time, but they only had military rank treatment, no real power, and they were still Li Qing and Su Su's personal guards.

So no matter where Li Qing goes, they don't need to ask anyone, they can follow.

Only the little dragon girl is different.

She inherited the one qiē of Long Linghan, to have strength and strength, to have a family lineage, to have power and power, to have wealth and wealth, to be equipped with equipment...... But this adventure is not without a price.

Inheriting the first qiē of Long Linghan, he is also bound by Long Linghan's identity.

Long Linghan is a rear admiral of the East China Sea Fleet, commander of the detachment fleet, and captain of the Thang Long. The little dragon girl inherited these, so she couldn't be as unrestrained as Su Su and them. Without the Empire's mandate, she wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.

But if Li Qing and the others all went to the south, Xiaolongnu really wanted to follow.

"Of course you're going too." Su Su smiled and said: "You are an important actor in my movie, how can I go to the south without you?" ”

Xiaolongnu said: "But I am the commander of the detachment of the East China Sea Fleet, a genuine rear admiral, how can I leave my post casually?" ”

But Susu doesn't think that's the problem.

She said: "There are three admirals in the East China Sea Fleet, and there are a large number of pillar-level powerhouses. Although you are the heir of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, haven't you fully recovered your true body yet? Besides, who stipulated that the Dragon King of the East China Sea must not leave the East China Sea?

"So, you go and talk to Yue Shanjun and them, just say that the war in the East China Sea is now a little off, and you are in the stage of rapid advancement, and you need a lot of actual combat stimulation. Apply for temporary transfer to the southern battlefield for actual combat training. As for the commander of the detachment fleet, you can ask someone to take your place temporarily! ”

"That doesn't work, does it?" The little dragon girl feels unreliable. How can the transfer of general-level officers be such a child's play?

Su Su said with a smile: "If you go alone, it will definitely not work." But with me to help you, it may not be impossible. Na, I will tell them that I will not take over the territory for the time being, and I will go to the Southern Theater with Li Qing to help the empire fight. I think even if it is the emperor, he will not refuse to have another legendary mage on the southern battlefield.

"But what about the conditions, that is, General Long Linghan personally protects me...... He is a fragile mage, and although he is powerful in spell casting, he is very weak in body and needs the protection of a strong melee fighter. And because I am very familiar with General Long, and I have fought side by side together, I know General Long's ability and personality very well, so I really want General Long to protect people personally! ”

Xiaolongnu's eyes lit up, and she slapped the table vigorously: "This idea is reliable!" ”

Su Su was going to follow Li Qing to the south, but the empire didn't know about it!

When the Qin messenger who came from the imperial capital brought a holy decree to canonize Su Su as the county lord, Su Su did not reveal the intention of going with Li Qing, but asked Na Qin Cha a lot of questions about her territory, and she was very interested, and she couldn't wait to receive the territory immediately.

This time, Su Suruo announced that he would not accept the territory for the time being, and would first go to the southern battlefield to support the operation, then the empire would definitely welcome it. If she took the opportunity to put forward the condition that the little dragon girl would personally protect her, the empire should not refuse-

Just like Su Su said, Xiaolongnu is not a Zhenguo-level Zhenlei Qinglong now, there are three Zhenguo powerhouses, and the East China Sea Fleet with a large number of pillar country powerhouses is really more than her, and there is no less than her.

Transferring a detachment commander from the East China Sea Fleet who has little impact on the overall strength of the fleet in exchange for a Zhenguo mage to go to the Southern Theater to participate in the war is a good deal that no one will refuse.

Coming to Earth No. 2, the little dragon girl who has the upper hand on Long Linghan's side is a simple and neat man of action.

Since there was a way to follow Li Qing and them to the south, there was no need to stay alone in the East China Sea Fleet, so she immediately pulled Su Su up and went to find Yue Shanjun and the other three powerhouses of the town and country. field, carry out actual combat training. As for the commander of the detachment fleet, you can ask someone to take your place temporarily! ”

"That doesn't work, does it?" The little dragon girl feels unreliable. How can the transfer of general-level officers be such a child's play?

Su Su said with a smile: "If you go alone, it will definitely not work." But with me to help you, it may not be impossible. Na, I will tell them that I will not take over the territory for the time being, and I will go to the Southern Theater with Li Qing to help the empire fight. I think even if it is the emperor, he will not refuse to have another legendary mage on the southern battlefield.

"But what about the conditions, that is, General Long Linghan personally protects me......

Xiaolongnu's eyes lit up, and she slapped the table vigorously: "This idea is reliable!" ”
