Chapter 38: The Wind Rises
Capital of the Kas Empire......
An obese middle-aged man was sitting on a gorgeous red throne inlaid with gold at the moment, holding several women left and right, enjoying the soft touch in his hands, and his face was obscene.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready, are they really going to go to war against the Star Luo Empire? The minister thought that although the Bloodthirsty Alliance had caused heavy casualties this time, it did not hurt its muscles and bones, but only skin and surface injuries! Please think twice about your majesty! ”
A silver-haired old man said respectfully.
"Didn't it hurt the muscles and bones? What is the Bloodthirsty Alliance? That's a bunch of bloodthirsty beasts! This time, they wiped out the bloodthirsty alliance and suffered heavy losses, and all that remained was the old, weak, sick and disabled! Otherwise, why don't they dare to speak up when our army is outside? ”
The fat king walked down slowly.
"What World Destroying Demon King was destroyed by a demon last time? Hehehe, this king doesn't take it seriously, and he sends a holy decree to let it flee in fright? 300,000 gold coins? I think it's ridiculous! ”
Several generals in the audience knelt on one knee and shouted
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
The old man standing on the stage bent slightly and did not speak.
"What Garo Guild? It's all rubbish! Scared by a demon! The king ordered that in three days, attack the Xingluo Empire! ”
"Yes!"
Although the old man agreed, his eyes were a little unbearable.
……
Alchemy Guild ......
"How can this be!!"
A gray-haired old man smashed the table angrily, so angry that his beard was upside down!
"Humph! The golden adventurers of the Garo Guild dare to be so rampant! Walk! ”
"Wait!"
The angry white-haired old man stopped the angry crowd.
"Our Immortal Alchemy Guild is only a third-class force, compared to a behemoth like the Garo Guild, if we go directly, I'm afraid the Garo Guild will think that we don't give face, and a powerhouse in the hero realm can easily clean us up."
"So what to do?"
One of the people who was beaten by Tatsubai last time asked.
"We're going to get some gifts, a hundred healing potions! In this way, it is not easy for the Garo Guild to refuse, and we can teach him a lesson openly! ”
The old man's eyes were cold, and several people nodded in approval.
"However, in this case, our guild will lose five hundred bottles in vain, so the guild will only pay one hundred and fifty percent of the price, and the three of you will pay the remaining fifty percent!"
"This ......"
The three of them looked embarrassed, twenty gold coins, that was not a lot of money.
"If you can't bear it, forget it!"
"We do!!" The three of them said in unison, remembering that Tianchen Bai was still difficult to calm down about their affairs.
Although the three of them were slightly distressed on their faces, they still showed a smug smile when they remembered that Chen Bai had been taught a lesson.
Garo Guild ......
A group of people slowly pushed five wooden wagons full of healing potions......
Several of them were then taken into the guild......
"Tatsuhaku?"
The president's face was a little complicated, smoking the cigarette in his mouth, not knowing how to reply.
"Excuse me, who is he? Why are adults so bothered?"
The leader of the Alchemy Guild asked respectfully.
"There's no background! But ......"
"But what!?"
The old man felt that he was dying.
"You know Lord Demon Owl, right?"
When the old man heard this, he was frightened and retreated.
He ...... He actually has him backstage?"
He asked incredulously.
"Last time, Imo Village was attacked by the Bloodthirsty Alliance, but I don't know why the demon owl also helped, and it is said that it gave this young man the strength to deal with the members of the Bloodthirsty Alliance! He easily killed nine, and there was a well-known soul protector! It's the one who holds the Soul Refining Sword. And it wasn't just that he came back side by side with the demon, talking and laughing! Even the Demon Owl needs a small room to feed on its own, he knows it! So the relationship, I'm not sure either! But it looks good, I took the 500 bottles of healing potion, you can't do it here, I don't care outside it! ”
After the meeting finished speaking earnestly, several people in the Medicine Refining Guild did not look very good.
Helplessly, the water that was spilled by the gifts sent out, they didn't want to say anything, and walked down one by one dejectedly.
"What to do? President, if he hides here, wouldn't we ......?"
"No wonder it's so rampant! With the Demon Owl as the backstage, I'm afraid no one dares to touch him! However, as long as we ask someone else to appoint a client for him, the amount is huge, and he will definitely be fooled! ”
A few of them were discussing while riding horses, and standing on the tree, Chen Bai had already heard it clearly.
……
Two days later......
In the early morning, on the endless plain, 200,000 soldiers marched in an orderly manner, they were like a huge silver dragon, and the silver armor and weapons shot a dazzling cold light under the sunlight.
They were coming towards the Xingluo Empire, like a sharp sword, approaching straight ahead.
Star Luo Empire......
"Report!" A soldier hurried to the general's mansion, his voice loud and fearful.
"A large army has assembled in the Endless Plains! Straight to me! It is expected to be around 200,000!! ”
The soldier fell to his knees on one knee, his hands and feet shaking.
"What ?!!"
When the general heard this, he didn't even care about his armor, and hurriedly ran to the city gate......
……
The sun had just risen, and all the main people had gathered in the capital of the Kas Empire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is urgent, and the army of the Cass Empire is coming straight for you, what is your best plan?"
The king asked anxiously.
"The last general has gathered an army of 150,000 troops, but many soldiers and generals have been killed by the Bloodthirsty Alliance! Now ......"
A general was embarrassed and said heavily.
"Are there not enough men to lead the soldiers? …… Was the conscription order issued? ”
The king asked anxiously.
"The minister has already arranged it!"
"What about the Alliance Guild? What do you think? ”
"Yichen and other powerful ones have all been supported because of the entrusted task, and they can't catch up for a while...... And other adventurers who are not from our country refuse to participate in the ......"
"Damn!" A general slammed the table in a fit of rage.
"Report! ——”
Another soldier hurried in to report.
"Why are you so alarmed!?"
"The other side has not yet transported grain and set up camp, so it is impossible to start a war today!"
I saw the soldier say in a panic
"A troop of troops appeared in the west, about 100,000 in total, with the 'dreadnought' flag!"
"Dreadnought? West? Could it be ...... Is it the Kingdom of Shima? Their main army is the Dreadnought! This army was so brave that it once defeated an army of 100,000 alone, and it is said that at that time, their army was only 5,000 men, and now there are more than 20,000! ”
Hearing this, many people's faces turned to ashes, and even the king slumped in his chair, losing his previous momentum.
The king sighed deeply, looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and muttered, "The wind is coming......
"Don't be discouraged, I have a plan!"
Suddenly, a man shouted loudly! Everyone was on the lookout.
