When Chaoyang had just emerged, Li Qing and his entourage had already left the military village and embarked on the last leg of their journey.

After a morning of galloping, Li Qing and the others finally ended their journey to the south for nearly a month and arrived at Zhennan City, where the headquarters of the Imperial Southern Military Region was located.

Zhennan City was originally a border city, known as the southern gate of the empire. After the invasion of the Holy Light Alliance, Zhennan City was transformed into a huge military camp, gathering a full 50,000 regular imperial troops and no less than 100,000 servant troops.

And that's just the troops stationed in Zhennan City.

If we count the troops scattered in the various defensive lines, passes, and walled cities of the Southern Theater, there are more than 800,000 troops, which are under the control of the Southern Military Region Command.

When there are still more than ten miles away from the main urban area of Zhennan City, neat camps have appeared on both sides of the avenue outside the city.

Along the way, on the avenue, there are few civilians. The people who came and went were all imperial warriors with neat queues, bright armor and excellent equipment.

From time to time, groups of black-robed and black-armored cavalry could be seen whistling by, flying in all directions with thunderous hooves. Or there are groups of soldiers shouting trumpets and pushing heavy wagons transporting heavy artillery, sweating like rain on the avenue.

Seeing a team of soldiers transporting grain and grass coming, Li Qing and the others avoided the side of the road and let the baggage go first.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Imperial military regulations, in times of war, anyone, regardless of military and civilian officers and generals, must let the baggage go first when they encounter a baggage team transporting grain, grass, and ordnance.

Unless there are 100,000 urgent military situations, even if the emperor arrives in person, he must retreat to the side of the road first, and let the baggage pass before leaving.

Waiting for the baggage to pass by, the little dragon girl introduced:

"In peacetime, Zhennan City is actually very prosperous. When the small countries in the southwest went to the imperial capital to pay tribute, if the envoys took the land route, the first stop was Zhennan City. The small countries in the southwest also often travel to and from the south of the town to conduct bilateral trade. Maritime merchants from Western countries also often bring Western specialties to Zhennan City for sale. After the goods were dissold, they purchased the specialties of the empire and shipped them back to the West for sale.

"Zhennan City is full of business travel all year round. If you come here in peacetime, you can see all kinds of foreigners in Zhennan City, as well as a dazzling array of exotic specialties and strange things. The Yuanren River outside the south of the town is always filled with freight merchant ships of different shapes. From day to night, the sails are endless.

"But the previous qiē was ruined by the war. Now inside and outside the city of Zhennan, there are all kinds of foreigners, but they are all rude and barbaric mercenaries and servants. There are also mountains of supplies, but they are all war materials. On the Yuanren River, there are still many sails, but all of them are battleships with artillery......"

Speaking of this, Xiaolongnu sighed lightly: "I don't know how long this war will last." Zhennan City also does not know when it will be able to restore its former prosperity. ”

When she was on Earth 2, the little dragon girl was deeply influenced by the will of Long Linghan. Between words and deeds, there will always be intentional or unintentional, thinking of yourself as a real imperial person. will always reveal a trace of concern for the country and the people.

Like Li Qing and Su Su, they don't have so many feelings as Xiaolongnu.

For Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, the battlefield was a testing ground for them to become stronger. For Susu, the battlefield is her hunting ground for resources. For Ni Yuanyuan, Scarlett, and Song Qiqi, the battlefield ...... There is no point at all, only someone they each want to follow, which is the greatest meaning.

So when Xiaolongnu was worried about the country and the people, Li Qing and the others all looked indifferent, and they didn't even have a strange expression. Li Qing is okay, at least he is still listening carefully to Xiaolongnu's feelings. Su Su and the others kept shaking their heads and looking around, looking at the Western scenery as if they were in the wilderness, looking at some exotic servant armies that were practicing in the wilderness.

"Hey, look and see, there's a team of Western knights over there, tall horses, plate armor and hard spears! The leader is still a handsome blonde guy who looks like Thor, the god of thunder in the movie...... I didn't expect that there were such pure Western knights in the imperial servant army. I thought this kind of heavily armored knight was a unique class of the Holy Light Alliance! ”

"Lonely, huh? The process of unifying the Western world by the Holy Light Alliance was full of bloody killings. I don't know how many kingdoms, principalities, and actual nobles have been defeated by the Holy Light Alliance for refusing to believe in the Lord of Radiance. I don't know how many small gods and middle gods like the goddess of sprouts were shot down by the Lord of Radiance.

"Those kingdoms, principalities, and nobles who have been crusaded, as well as the followers of various heretical gods, the legions of cathars, etc., although they are not the opponents of the Holy Light Alliance, have all been defeated, but many of them have escaped to the East. They have a deep enmity with the Lord of Light and the Holy Light Alliance, and of course they will join the Imperial side against the Holy Light Alliance!

"Among them, those Western knights are nothing at all. Like Flora, there are not a few gods with the bloodline of fallen gods! There are also many exiled princes and princesses, who are working for the empire! ”

"That's right, these little dragon girls have said it before. Also, even if there were no heavy knights for these servant armies, the empire would have had heavy knights. One of the most famous is the Divine Ce Army, which is fully equipped with barge beasts. It's just that in the southern region, there are too many mountains and forests, which is not suitable for heavy knights to fight. The heavy cavalry of the regular army of the empire was mostly used in the northern battlefields......"

"These heavily armed knights are simply useless. They are already in the southern theater of operations that are not suitable for heavy cavalry, and they don't have priests and mages to bless auxiliary magic and spells, what can they do? It can't be a match for the Knights of the Triather of the Holy Light Alliance! The knights don't have much to look at, and over there, those shirtless men, that's really tough! ”

"Well, all long capes and leather trousers...... It's also full of tendon meat. Hey, it looks like a Spartan hunk! ”

"That's not a Spartan hunk. You see, their mantles are not red but white, and their weapons are not shields, daggers, or spears, but wheels and axes. Nor does it pay as much attention to dense formations as Spartan machos. Their formation is very spread out, and everyone has a lot of room to move, not like a Spartan phalanx. ”

"That's a bunch of Northland berserkers! My cousin talked about it on the way. It is said to be an army of servants from the vicinity of the North Sea in the west, led by a prince, the country was destroyed by the Holy Light Alliance, the royal family was almost dead, only one prince, with his little sister and two thousand berserkers, escaped. By the time he arrived at the Empire, the Berserker was in his early 1,000s, and his little sister had died...... These berserkers are very strong individually, but they are easy to get hot-headed when they fight, and they don't know what discipline is when they go berserk, so they are only suitable for offensive battles, counterattack battles, chaotic battles, and melee battles, not for defense, and cannot be arranged on key fronts......"

"Look, look, there's a team of chic warriors over there. Wow, all dressed in black, wearing grimace masks, holding double knives, this style of painting feels very dragging! ”

"That look...... Well, I remember my cousin said that it should be an evil god's cathar called Deadpool. The evil god has been killed by the Lord of Radiance, and the Church of the Nation has been destroyed by the Holy Cult of Radiance. The Pope died completely, and only one saint fled to the Empire with a few hundred Deadpools and more than 2,000 followers......"

"Deadpool? That's a lot of money! Is it like that Deadpool, who can slash bullets with a knife and have an immortal body or something? ”

"It's just the name. Before the fall of the evil god, the best of Deadpool did have super recovery power, it was difficult to kill, and it was very, very agile indeed. There are also abilities such as shadow shuttle and soul impact. But after the death of the evil god, Deadpool's abilities have shrunk dramatically. Now it's just an agile warrior with some superpowers. Well, it's that holy woman, who is said to have inherited some of the abilities of the evil gods, and is very powerful. ”

Listening to Su Su and the others keep talking about all kinds of messy servant army, especially hearing Song Qiqi keep showing off the knowledge she taught her, the little dragon girl who was feeling nostalgic for state affairs couldn't help but feel bitter for a while.

She first glared at Song Qiqi fiercely, and then glanced at Li Qing hard, clamped her legs around the belly of the mount, and said angrily: "The baggage team has passed, what are you still doing here?" Gone! ”

After that, take the lead and go to the south of the town.

Li Qing rolled his eyes at Xiaolongnu, and was very incomprehensible for a while: "What, I don't seem to have participated in the discussion, right?" I'm listening to Long'er very carefully, why do I have to get a roll of the eye? ”

"There is no reason for a woman to be angry." Su Su smiled and comforted: "Knight, look at it." ”

Li Qing said helplessly: "Uh, okay, you have a lot of sense. But you're also a woman, so it doesn't seem like a woman, right? ”

"I'm not a woman." Su Su raised his middle two fingers, made a V-shaped victory gesture, and said triumphantly: "I am a goddess!" A goddess who can't be reasoned with! ”

Li Qingshui Khan: "That's right, you are a goddess, you can't be reasonable." Therefore, if you don't be reasonable, you can't be reasonable......"

While laughing, everyone urged their mounts, followed the little dragon girl, and looked at Zhennan City, ten miles away, and galloped away. After passing through the continuous camps and school fields, the majestic gate of Zhennan City is already in sight.

At this time, the little dragon girl at the front suddenly said: "Hey, it seems that there is an honor guard under the city." It looks like you're waiting for someone, are there any big names coming today? ”

Li Qing and the others looked towards the city gate, only to see that under the city gate, there was indeed a guard of honor, wearing a complicated and gorgeous, dignified military uniform, holding various military musical instruments, in a neat formation, under the leadership of a middle-aged man in a major general's dress, guarding the city gate, looking like waiting for someone.

"During the war, this kind of welcoming ceremony was still held, which is really incomprehensible." Su Su pouted: "When I was a king in the mortal world in the past, which general dared to give me this set during the war, I immediately took off his head......"

As he was speaking, he saw the middle-aged young general take a step forward, waved his hands enthusiastically at Li Qing and the others, who were less than fifty meters away from the city gate, and said in a loud voice: "But His Royal Highness the Lord of Yunyang has arrived?" Oh, I've been waiting a long time! As he spoke, he made a gesture backwards, and the ceremonial team behind him immediately played a cheerful welcome music.

Su Su's little face immediately smiled into a flower: "Huh? Has my prestige spread to the Southern War Zone? During the war, a guard of honor was sent to welcome me, and the generals of the Southern Military Region were very eye-catching! ”

Li Qingmulan complained: "I remember you just said that this kind of welcome ceremony during the war really doesn't know what to do. If you were a king in the mortal world, if your subordinates came like this, you would have killed someone. ”

"How can anyone say that?" Su Su denied it and swore an oath: "I definitely didn't say that, knight, you have been getting more and more auditory hallucinations recently!" Well, it must be indulgence/excessive desire, please restrain your desire/desire, and love your kidneys! If you have a kidney deficit, you can easily have tinnitus, auditory hallucinations and other phenomena......"
