Chapter 23 The march to White Rock City

Dongfang Zhi chuckled in his heart, and turned his head to ask his mother for help.

Murong Xue shook her head, saying that she couldn't do anything, and didn't forget to add: "I was also about to ask you, let your grandmother ask at one time, and explain it honestly." ”

"Mom, am I still your son?"

"I don't think so, you kid has too many secrets. Murong Xue rolled her eyes and said.

"Mother......" Dongfang Zhi was speechless, and he actually put such a mother on the stall.

The old lady of the East cleared her throat, successfully stopped the quarrel between the mother and daughter, and then asked with a straight face: "Zhi'er, how did the two golden-armored swordsmen in the backyard die?

"This ...... I really didn't do it, you always know, I only learned magic, and I didn't learn fighting skills, the fighting spirit of the golden armor swordsman is poured into the magic sword, and it can send out a ten-meter-long sword ray, how can I kill them. Oh yes...... It must have been Sister Zangchun who helped me, and they appeared as soon as I went out the back door. ”

The old lady of the East frowned and said, "Zang Chun's shot, that can't be so neat, okay, the second question, why is Doctor Mo's soul coercion useless to you?"

"Grandma, how do I know this, maybe it's because my soul is strong. ”

"You are a hairy child with no fighting spirit, can you have more soul strength than a golden armor sword god?"

"That's not necessarily!" Dongfang Zhi can only resist death and not tell the truth, now if he tells the truth, the people of the Dongfang family will not believe it, who will believe that he was the Origin Tianzun of the Eastern God Realm, besides, if he tells the truth now, if he attracts the minions of the Western God Realm, then he will die, in short, before he really grows up, he must not expose his secrets.

"You don't say yes, do you?" asked the old lady Dongfang aggressively as she stared at Dongfang Zhi's eyes.

"Grandma, what are you going to tell me to say?" Dongfang Zhi was about to cry aggrieved, seeing that Murong Xue was distressed for a while, he hurriedly took Dongfang Zhi's little hand to comfort him.

The old lady of the East snorted coldly and said: "You don't tell the truth, right, then where is Your Majesty the King, you can deal with it yourself, now two golden-armored swordsmen have died, and an elemental elf in the Great Magister realm has been released, and an elemental elf girl has been directly protected by your kid, see that the king doesn't pick your skin, send you to the Holy See's Blackwater Prison, and you have the ability to wipe your own shit and wipe your butt." ”

......Dongfang Zhi was depressed and found that his grandmother was really angry, and after saying these words, his grandmother actually stood up and left, leaving him extremely depressed.

Murong Xue hurriedly came over to comfort him: "Zhi'er, don't hold a grudge against your grandmother, she gambled her life for you." ”

"Gambling on your life? Dongfang Zhi also replied angrily, after living for tens of thousands of years, no one dared to lose such a temper at him.

"Hey, you stinky boy, how do you speak, do you really think that you have caused such a big disaster, and His Majesty the King will take someone back without pursuing anything?"

"Then why did he go back?"

"It's not because your grandmother gave His Majesty a military order. Murong Xue sighed and said.

"What military order?" Dongfang Zhi faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Recover twelve small border cities including Shago City and Wolong City within half a year, and not use the other legions of the empire, relying only on the 500,000 Red Dragon Legions of our Dongfang family. ”

"What? Damn, grandma is crazy! This kind of military order dares to stand, isn't this digging a pit and jumping by yourself?" Dongfang Zhi shouted.

"What's more, except for the military expenses of the 800,000 gold coins you bet with Li Zheng, the royal family will not pay a penny. Those 800,000 gold coins are only enough for our military supplies for one month. Murong Xue said with a frown.

"What? The king is a bastard. Dongfang Zhi scolded.

"Shut up, did you scold the king?"

Dongfang Zhi is indeed eager to kill the king Zhao Tingru with a sword, you must know that the general who guards Shage City is Liu Chunshan, the famous general of the Yoga Country, and the title of the God of Variety is not his self-style, it is a recognized title of the five empires, if it is not for the achievements of one city and one village, who would be bored enough to give him the title of the god of war.

I was going to go to Shago City casually to have fun, and by the way, I had a good time, but now it seems that it will not work.

Although Dongfang Zhi is extremely depressed, but it is not that he is afraid, in the past few years in the Dongfang family, he has also read some military books and war strategies, to be honest, compared with the "Art of War" he read in the previous life, the war books and war strategies on this desolate continent are simply like a joke.

For example, his upright father Dongfang Qiankun learned a tactic: lure the enemy deeper, first use a small force to provoke the enemy's large army, and then pretend to be defeated and flee, and then lead the enemy into the encirclement of his own large army and then attack it in groups.

Yoga is located in the east of the Great Zhao Kingdom, ten years ago, Shago City is the border bridgehead of the Great Zhao Kingdom, but now it has become the border town of the Yoga Kingdom, the Hanging Dragon City is more than 100 miles inland is the Wolong City, the Wolong City was originally just a small town, but after ten years of operation, the Wolong City at this time has become the border bridgehead of the Yoga Kingdom, far stronger than the Shago City, the city is stationed with 500,000 elite soldiers led by Liu Chunshan, and the Shogo City is stationed with 300,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, and there are ten small cities between these two big cities, each with a garrison of tens of thousands, a total of 12 cities in the defenders of no less than a million。

It is almost impossible for the Dongfang family to defeat a million garrisons with 500,000 Red Dragon Legions.

According to the conventional military calculations, the strength of the besieging side must be at least three times that of the defending side to have a chance to break the city, and now the situation is just the opposite, as the besieging side of the Dongfang family, the strength of the army is only half of the soldiers defending the city of Yoga, this battle has not yet begun, many people are already imagining the miserable end of the Dongfang family, and when people learned that the ten-year-old Dongfang Zhi General as the marshal of the expeditionary force, everyone is more sure that the Dongfang family is gambling, betting on a war that cannot be won.

In the past few days, the king has been in a mess, and first news came out of the palace that the legs of the third prince had been broken. Zhao Tingru hurriedly sent someone to ask Master Doni to come and treat the third prince, who knew that Doni actually said that he had a sick person to take care of there, and it was inconvenient to come, so he sent Seymour to the palace.

Although Seymour's cultivation is a little worse, he can still heal a simple broken hand and foot, so he used light magic to heal the three princes, and it is said that the three princes woke up after three days, and as for getting out of bed and walking, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half.

Zhao Tingru asked the third prince who did it, and the third prince insisted that it was a beautiful girl named Murong Lanzhi who broke his leg, Zhao Tingru naturally heard of Murong Lanzhi's name, so he also sent someone to Dongfang's house to question Murong Xue.

Murong Xue naturally didn't know anything, Dongfang Zhi was also present at the time, and he also curiously asked who Murong Lanzhi was.

Zhao Tingru gritted his teeth in anger, Murong Lanzhi was a student of the Holy Light Academy, her teacher was the sword god Luo Hua, even if Zhao Tingru wanted to go crazy, he could only plan secretly, so the matter of the three princes was suppressed like this.

Because Murong Lanzhi and Dongfang Zhi's mother are related, Zhao Tingru's heart is open, he can't do anything with Murong Lanzhi, so he sprinkled all his anger on Dongfang Zhi, and a holy decree urged him to go on the road every day, and also preached everywhere that Dongfang Zhi wanted to avenge his father and lead the army to conquer Shago City, so that everyone in the royal capital knew that Dongfang Zhi was going to war, not only the people in the royal capital knew, but even everyone knew about Shago City and Wolong City occupied by the Yoga Kingdom.

In addition to the names of Murong Lanzhi and Dongfang Zhi being rumored, there are also two remarks in the market, one is that the Dongfang family has a secret relationship with the elemental elves and betrays the Great Zhao State, and the other is that the Dongfang family has offended His Majesty the King, so Dongfang Zhi was sent to the front line to die.

No matter which rumor it is, it seems to be confirmed little by little, because a portrait of Eliza's mother appeared in the royal city, and a pair of wings behind her showed the fact that she was an elemental elf, and the text next to it showed that this elemental elf wanted by the empire was indeed found in the Dongfang family.

The other is the Dongfangjia, who have already reorganized their team, and it seems that they are really preparing to set off for the border.

Ten days later, in the morning, the bell of the opening of the Guangming Academy spread throughout the Zhao royal capital, Dongfang Zhi went to the school to meet Eliza, Eliza recovered well, she missed her mother very much, Dongfang Zhi assured Eliza that he must find her mother and let them meet mother and daughter.

On the second day of the opening of Guangming Academy, Zhao Tingru sent a eunuch who passed the decree again, and the unbearable Dongfang Zhi asked someone to beat the eunuch out of Dongfang Mansion with a blue nose and swollen face, and then sent an order to set off immediately, and the destination was Baishi City.

Ten years ago, after the loss of Shago City and Wolong City, the Red Dragon Legion had to retreat to Baishi City, after ten years of operation, Baishi City has become another border bridgehead city comparable to Shago City, and Baishi City will be the base camp of Dongfang Zhi's reconquest of the lost territory.

At noon, the courtyard of Dongfang's house was full of fully armed elite soldiers, and the deputy head of the Red Dragon Legion, Locke, was also in the full body armor, here, he was the highest commander except for Dongfang Zhi, the golden-armored swordsman Xiuwei.

Chen Meng and Chen Gang put on their military uniforms again, and the two of them were temporarily appointed as left and right generals, and the rest were the fifty silver-armored swordsmen gathered by Dongfang Mansion.

In the hall of the Dongfang family, the old lady of the East sat on the seat of the head of the family with a solemn face, the Dongfang family could not be without the helmsman, and the old lady of the East could not be without the old lady of the East in the royal capital, so she could not leave the royal capital, you must know that the logistics of this expedition all depended on the guarantee of the Li family on the side of the royal capital, Li Zheng and Dongfang Zhi were so stiff, if the old lady of the East was not in the royal capital, Li Zheng might have deducted military salaries and arrears of money and food for Dongfang Zhike.

This time, there were also three people who set off with Dongfang Zhi, including Zang Xia, Zang Qiu, and Zang Dong, as well as his mother Murong Xue, even so, the old lady of Dongfang was still not at ease.

"Zhi'er, don't forget, you have caused so much trouble in the royal capital, I don't know how many people want to harm you, you can't be careless on the road. The old lady of the East admonished.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll be fine. My mother is a magister, and the three sisters of Zangxia, plus Locke, Chen Meng, and Chen Gang, unless the sword god and the great magister come to find fault, who can help me, besides, grandma, have you forgotten, the hidden ball that Teacher Doni gave me is a good thing. Dongfang Zhi said confidently.

"Having said that...... "The old lady of Dongfang was still very uneasy, but she didn't know how to say it, after all, the Dongfang family didn't have a sword master now, and the matter of protecting Dongfang Zhi was really tricky.

The old lady of Dongfang told Murong Xue several times that she must be optimistic about Dongfang Zhi, and then she watched Dongfang Zhi and their team leave.

Sitting in the carriage that set off, seeing the Dongfang Mansion behind him getting farther and farther away, Dongfang Zhi had an indescribable reluctance, which was not only reluctance to Dongfang Mansion, but also to his grandmother.

Today's departure is not glorious, it is more like being assigned to the army, so Dongfang Zhi is not happy, but it is not sad either, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, it has been ten years since the rebirth of the desolate continent, Dongfang Zhi wants to see the outside world every day, and this trip can be regarded as a wish.
