Chapter 275: The Great War is Imminent
"What?" said Thunder in shock. I chuckled even more in my heart, thought about it, and said in a deep voice. "You go and inform the third brother first, tell him to gather all the soldiers quickly, and order all the guards to go all out and try to hold all the entrances. β
The soldier replied and hurriedly retreated. Lei Ming's face turned pale, shook his head helplessly, and quickly returned to Locke's study. Without stopping, he quickly pulled out the book that Locke pulled out last time, and with a circle of golden light flashing, Locke appeared in front of Lei Ming with a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice. "Didn't you say that there was nothing to bother me?"
"Father, something is wrong, there is movement in the royal family, and now a large number of people are rushing towards us. Thunder didn't look unnatural because of Locke's blame, but said with a straight face.
"When?" Locke's old face twitched lightly, and he quickly asked.
"Just now. Lei Ming replied. "I have informed all the soldiers in the clan to assemble and told them to defend all entrances with all their might. β
"Okay, well done! We're going to see what kind of tricks they want to play this time. Locke's eyes sparkled like an old fox, and he said in a deep voice. "By the way, how's the recruiting going?"
"Back to my father, so far, 30,000 new soldiers have been recruited, all of them have been formed in a unified formation, although their strength is not very good, but on the whole it is not bad, and it will definitely come in handy. Lei Ming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.
"Thirty thousand?" muttered Locke, who seemed dissatisfied. "It's been almost a month. β
"Father, I'll tell them to speed up, let's go out and have a look. Lei Ming urged, the Kaka family is not too far from the palace, and the soldiers' full speed forward, I'm afraid it won't even take an hour.
When Locke and Thunder appeared outside the Kaka family's mansion, they were already surrounded by soldiers, all of them 'spirits' were full of energy, fully armed, and the swords at their waists were shining. Locke looked around, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked around his body, frowning slightly.
"Father, sit!" Seeing Locke's appearance, Lei Ming hurriedly found a chair from the house, and after putting it away, he said respectfully.
Locke smiled and said. "Since they're here, of course we have to give them some looks, otherwise, I'm really a bully at my Kaka family. Go find a chair to sit on, for it's tiring to stand like this. With that, he leaned his head back on the back of his chair and looked like he was enjoying himself.
Immediately, in a state of self-surprise, he called a soldier to move out two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, and placed them on either side of Locke, and Thunder and Thunder sat down. But Thunder and Thunder looked a little unnatural, and even the look on his face became very reluctant.
The sunlight lazily shone in front of the Kaka family's 'door', leaving a trail of mottled patches on the ground through the gaps in the towering branches, and some of the soldiers couldn't help but yawn and looked a little unnatural. And a low snoring sound actually came from Locke's nostrils. Lei Ming and Lei Tian were both startled, looked around, and then closed their eyes again and recuperated.
"How long has it been, why hasn't it been yet?" said Locke after a moment.
"Father, it's been three hours. Lei Ming quickly opened his eyes and said softly. And seeing that Locke seemed to be still awakening, I had to wonder if I had heard it wrong.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Locke asked, frowning slightly, suspiciously. "Did the spies ever come back?"
"Back to my father, no!" Lei Ming said calmly. "Could it be that we sensed it wrong?"
"Wrong? This direction is only the only one that our Kaka family would cause such a reaction. Locke sneered and said.
"But it stands to reason that I should have arrived a long time ago, and the spies haven't come back, is it really wrong?" Thunder muttered as if talking to himself.
"Father, in my opinion, they didn't come to us, we didn't disperse, we were all tired. Lei Tian yawned, looked sleepy, and said lightly.
"It's fine. It seems that they really won't come, continue to send people to monitor, and report back as soon as there is any movement. Locke slowly opened his eyes and said as he stretched his back. Then he stood up and walked slowly towards the house. Thunder and Thunder Heaven supported Locke on the left and right, and slowly disappeared into the big 'gate'.
The soldiers were also dispersed in an orderly manner. In front of the whole big 'gate', silence was restored again.
Drive...... Drive......
Just as the soldiers were halfway apart, there was a sudden sound of 'fierce' horses in the distance. The soldiers who had not yet had time to withdraw panicked, quickly turned around, and resumed their starting formation again. However, after this shock, the morale and mentality of the soldiers have been greatly affected, and compared with before, the combat effectiveness may have dropped by as much as 30%.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and in the distance it could be seen that the bend in the alley was already full of dust. Behind the five tall white horses was followed by a group of black-pressed soldiers, the same people that the spies had begun to speak of when they returned.
In a few breaths, the five white horses had stopped at the big 'gate' of Kaka's house. The man with curly hair in the middle waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately split into two lines and quickly surrounded the entire Kaka family. I don't know when, outside the backyard of the Kaka family, there are already soldiers standing there.
There are five people, and there is a long sword of different shapes and colors hanging from their waists, although the long sword is in the sheath, but the faint light emitted from the scabbard is enough to show that it is a good sword. And the momentum of the five people was also extraordinary, and when they were lined up, a strange energy light was suddenly formed.
"Marshal Locke, why did you hide in when you saw us?" the curly-haired man smiled smugly and yelled at the big gate. Seeing that so many people suddenly appeared, the soldiers guarding the 'gate' also hurriedly ran in, and after a while, Locke appeared again at the big 'gate' with thunder and thunder.
"Hehe, it was General Tony. Locke smiled and said lightly. He looked at the other four people who were also riding white horses and said. "General Tom, General John, General Henry, General Edward, you are also here, I don't know what day it is, but the five generals have taken my Kaka family, it seems that God favors me Locke. β
"Marshal, you just have to pretend again. Tony sneered and said lightly. "Recently, you have become more and more rampant, although Your Majesty has been putting up with you, but you are too insensitive to the empire by doing so, I am waiting to bring you back. β
"Haha...... Rampant?" Locke suddenly laughed, and after a moment, he said. "Looks like General Tony takes my position very seriously. β
As soon as Locke said this, the other four generals quickly focused their eyes on Tony, who frowned and said in a deep voice. "A marshal is indeed a marshal, and even such a humble means can be used. Do you think that with your words, you can make us fight in a nest?"
Locke's face twitched quickly, and he said lightly. "Since the general speaks like this, I don't know what I, Locke, are guilty of, and what do I mean by being rampant? Unexpectedly, in the end, others actually coveted my Kaka family, it seems that I am really blind. β
Bang Bang Bang ......
Tony sat firmly on the horse's back, slapped his hands heavily, stared at Locke with a smirk, and said. "Marshal, you acted so well, if I hadn't drunk a bowl of water before I came and cleared my brain, I'm afraid I would have been really deceived by your acting skills. As he spoke, Tony's left hand was already gripping the scabbard tightly.
"Brothers, don't you know that Locke wants to rebel?" Henry, who seemed to have a good face, coughed and yelled at the Kaka soldiers who didn't move even a half-step. "Today, our five generals are here to wipe them all out and return peace to the empire, if any of you are willing to put down the long sword in your hand, I will definitely report to Your Majesty and give you a better status. Of course, if anyone is bent on helping, the only way to do it is to see you under the sword. β
The other four generals all held the hilt of their swords tightly, their eyes quickly becoming sharp, and they stared cautiously at Locke and the others.
"Don't talk nonsense with them, just split it and take it back!" Tom, who was full of beard, shouted in a deep voice, his eyes were bright, and the murderous aura surged around his body in an instant, and the air around him suddenly became cold.
These five generals have a good reputation in the empire, and as we all know, they are really good generals who are dedicated to the country. Now that it is said that the Kaka family wants to rebel, the hearts of many soldiers have begun to move and whisper.
"Nonsense, how can my Kaka family be a **!" Lei Tian roared loudly. "I think you're just trying to usurp my family's rights!"
"Hehe, Lei Tian, right?" Tony looked at Lei Tian and smiled. "Although you don't learn a lot in a day, you are not as 'insidious' as your eldest brother and father, and I know that you are very disgusted with Locke's methods, but you are just too naΓ―ve. But you know, they're doing something sorry for the Empire. If you don't get it right, your entire family may be defeated by them, and you will disappear from the empire, or even from the mainland, is this the result you want to see?"
"Father?" Lei Tian turned his head suspiciously, looked at Locke, who was close at hand, and called softly.
"Hmph, am I, Locke, really afraid of you?!" Locke finally pulled down his face and roared in a deep voice. "In that case, don't blame me Locke for being ruthless, this empire should have belonged to my Kaka family!" As he spoke, Locke's figure had already appeared in the sky, and the ancient long sword also appeared in his hand, and after a flash of light, it fell silent in an instant. With Locke's rage, he stared closely at everything below.
