One morning after disappearing for more than half a month, Dongfang Zhi was finally blocked in the room by Deputy Commander Howell who broke into the door angrily when he just got up.

A smoky smell came to his face, and Dongfang Zhi, who was still sleepy just now, was immediately sobered up by the smoke, and forced himself to endure the smell and asked, "General Howell, what are you doing when you broke into my residence early in the morning, is there anything urgent?"

"You actually asked me what is urgent? Young General, don't you know what the purpose of your trip is, I only learned yesterday that the old lady of the East actually made a military order in front of His Majesty the King, and it is not an urgent matter to recover the lost twelve cities within half a year? And what are you doing now, it's been 17 days, we can't even see your figure, you have to understand, you are not an ordinary child, you are not qualified to eat, drink and have fun, you are the son of the treacherous military god General Dongfang Qiankun, you are on a mission, you have a deep hatred of blood, have you forgotten all this?"

Dongfang Zhi didn't expect Howell to be able to say such a subdued and frustrating word, and immediately knew that he really shouldn't go his own way, no matter what kind of plan he had, he should first let these old subordinates of the Dongfang family feel at ease.

"I'm sorry for what you can't find for so many days, but I haven't forgotten what you said!" Dongfang Zhi said sincerely.

"I hope you're telling the truth, and we're waiting for you in the council hall. After Howell finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only the depressed Dongfang Zhi, he liked this Howell more and more, it was the taste that had been accumulated for ten years, it was really ...... Be at the end of one's forbearance.

After washing up, Dongfang Zhi and his mother Murong Xue walked into the meeting hall together, it was already full of people, except for a few people who were sent out and still hadn't returned, all the senior generals of White Rock City were present.

Dongfang Zhi was just deliberately blocked in the room by Howell, otherwise, with his divine sense, how could he be blocked by a mere golden armor sword god.

According to Dongfang Zhi's arrangement, all the people sent to him will definitely come back on time today to resume their lives, after all, the people he sent out to perform the task are all cultivators above the Golden Armor Swordsman, and they are more than ten times faster than ordinary people, and now, 17 days have passed.

In addition, in the past 17 days, Dongfang Zhi has already thoroughly studied the two eighth-level spells of the meteor meteorite and the arbor cangcang, and in a few days, he can teach the two spells to his mother Murong Xue, and then he will have to wait to obtain the energy primordial stone above the city, and then he can start to arrange the eighth-level intermediate super array.

In addition to being affected by the level of the formation itself, the power of the formation is also affected by the amount of energy, and when the energy is large enough, the eighth-level intermediate formation is also comparable to the ninth-level large array.

Just like the ice spear technique that is also a third-level one, Dongfang Zhi's ice spear technique is only ten guns, and all of them are only arm thick, but there are thousands of ice spear techniques issued by Doni, and the thickest ice spear can be thicker than the top pillar, and the lethality is comparable to a seventh- or eighth-level spell.

The division of spell levels is not simply from the destructive power, but from the difficulty and precision of learning, some spells are extremely difficult, but they are not lethal, such as the hidden spell engraved on the hidden ball by Master Doni, although it is a seventh-level spell, but when it comes to lethality, it is completely equal to zero, which is not as good as a first-level spell.

Since seizing the fat woman's two spell cheats, Dongfang Zhi has studied day and night, with his tens of thousands of years of cultivation to perceive the heavenly machine, he has already studied these shallow spell knowledge in more than half a month, the "meteor meteorite" and "arbor cang" It was slightly improved by him, and the current two eighth-level spells were no less powerful than the destructive power of the ninth-level spells, and the energy used was also less than the original, because of these improvements, Dongfang Zhi believed that as the mother of the Magister, he could arrange two formations in one day, and activate the big array within ten minutes.

However, the power of the ninth-level spell is not trivial, especially the ninth-level formation, the power is much stronger than the instantaneous ninth-level spell, so you must find a suitable place to arrange the formation, in order to increase the killing effect, it is best to find a river valley.

In addition to the above things, Dongfang Zhi deliberately asked Howell to stop him today because he still had one more thing to do, and it was urgent.

From the gossip heard on the streets of the market in the past few days, it is not difficult for Dongfang Zhi to hear that most of the people in Baishi City have no confidence in the fact that the Red Dragon Legion will recover the twelve cities in half a month, and some people are even ready to move away before the big war, and some people are always full of praise when they talk about Liu Chunshan, the god of the Hundred Variety Army stationed in Shage City, it is said that Liu Chunshan is still a good general who loves the people like a son, as long as it is the common people who defected to Baishi City in the past, they will be given a settlement fee of 100 gold coins.

1 gold coin is 100 silver coins, 100 silver coins is 1000 copper coins, and the cost of an ordinary family a day is about 200 copper coins, that is to say, as long as Baishi City goes to Shage City, Wolong City, Hessenburg and other cities, Liu Chunshan will pay more than a year's food expenses, this news is really a headache for Dongfang Zhi, he is running out of money now, and as a result, Liu Chunshan still uses money to buy his people, which is really insidious.

There are at least one million people in Baishi City, and Liu Chunshan really dares to say big things.

If it's just the people running away, Dongfang Zhi is most worried about people's confusion, if such news spreads on a large scale, then it will definitely incite the emotions of the Red Dragon Legion garrison, maybe all kinds of rumors that are not conducive to the war will be spread in the army, so Dongfang Zhi needs to quickly establish his prestige, and at the same time destroy the image of the Hundred Variety Army God in the defenders of Baishi City that is difficult to defeat.

Seeing Dongfang Zhi and Murong Xue walking into the hall, many people whispered, mixed with a few disdainful snorts, it seemed that Dongfang Zhi, the ten-year-old army commander, was not taken seriously at all.

Dongfang Zhi sat down in the position of the main general, and his mother Murong Xue sat aside to participate in the discussion, which was specially instructed by the old lady of Dongfang when she left, and if she was afraid that Dongfang Zhi would not do anything, the reputation of the Dongfang family would be ruined by that time, and she might lose her life.

"Deputy Commander Howell, if there is any military situation that needs to be clarified, say it quickly!" Dongfang Zhi said.

"General, you've been in the city for 17 days, shouldn't we study how to recover the Twelve Cities today?" asked Howell with a straight face.

"Of course you need to, but how to study it?" Dongfang Zhi asked rhetorically.

"A meeting! A military meeting, where everyone expressed their opinions. Major General, these generals behind me are veterans of a hundred battles, and they all followed your father in the past. Howell said.

"Oh, well, then I'll listen to the generals' opinions first. Dongfang Zhi looked at everyone with interest.

At this time, a man who looked like a sharp-beaked monkey snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty the King is confused, he actually sent a hairy child who is still breastfeeding, do you really think that the people of the Dongfang family are military geniuses? ”

Dongfang Zhi's gaze moved over, and when he just entered the door, he also heard this person snort coldly, and a name appeared in his heart - Li Tong, this person Dongfang Zhi has long been famous, notorious in the army, and it is said that he is still a member of Li Zheng's family, he dares to speak disrespectfully in public, either he is a genius or a fool, and Dongfang Zhi is sure that this person is definitely a fool.

"Who are you? You look down on General Ben so much, you see that you have a high opinion to break the enemy, say it and let everyone listen, if you say it right, I can ignore your disrespectful words, if you say it disagrees with me...... I'm sorry, but you're just an idiot, and I don't like a fool who only lifts the bar. Dongfang Zhi said these words unhurriedly, and he spoke clearly and calmly, far beyond ordinary people.

The man with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks is indeed Li Tong, the overseer of the Red Dragon Legion appointed by His Majesty the King, and he has another identity, that is, the cousin of Li Zheng, the Minister of Finance.

Because he is a supervising army, the official rank is not in the establishment of the military department, even if he is the commander of the army, he cannot be said to be older than him, so this person has always been arrogant and domineering, after the Red Dragon Legion lost the battle, this Li Tong was even more ridiculous to the generals of the Red Dragon Legion, in addition, Li Zheng's military funds allocated to the Red Dragon Legion had to go through Li Tong's hands, so the generals of the Red Dragon Legion did not dare to offend him, and over time, Li Tong had already developed the virtue of not being afraid of heaven and earth.

In Li Tong's view, Howell still didn't dare to do anything to himself, and what could this 10-year-old kid who had just come to do with him? As early as when Dongfang Zhi and the others had not yet arrived in Baishi City, Li Tong had already received a letter from his family, in which Li Zheng repeatedly emphasized that Dongfang Zhi must be prevented from recovering the Twelve Cities, at least not allowing Dongfang Zhi to recover the Twelve Cities within half a year.

When Dongfang Zhi first arrived in Baishi City, Li Tong was ready to give Dongfang Zhi a dismissal, who knew that Dongfang Zhi had not held a military meeting for 17 consecutive days, and received an order from Howell's deputy commander early this morning, Li Tong had already prepared many excuses to sweep Dongfang Zhi's prestige.

Dongfang Zhi didn't know that there was such a person in the army these days, but he thought more deeply than this, so he pretended not to know anything about Li Tong.

"This official is Li Tong, the overseer of the Red Dragon Legion, hand-appointed by His Majesty. After Li Tong finished speaking triumphantly, he looked at Dongfang Zhi with an arrogant face, wanting to see Dongfang Zhi's reaction.

The rest of the generals saw Li Tong come out, and they also looked at Dongfang Zhi with various expressions, although they were also very annoyed that Dongfang Zhi did not hold a military meeting on the eighth day, but no one dared to be so rude to Dongfang Zhi, and at the same time, they especially disliked Li Tong, so at this moment, everyone chose to be silent.

"Oh, Li Jianjun, since you said that I, Dongfang Zhi, will lose the city, then what is your best strategy to break the enemy?" asked Dongfang Zhi.

"I'm a prison army, and it's your business to fight, how can I have any way to break the enemy. Li Tong said confidently.

"There is no way to break the enemy?" Dongfang Zhi's face sank, but this expression was really a little funny on the face of a ten-year-old child.

Li Tong was still not interested, and sneered: "A woman and a hairy child actually want to command me and my three army soldiers, which of you is willing to listen to their orders?"

"Li Jianjun, don't go too far. "Howell is Dongfang Qiankun's old subordinate, so naturally he can't watch Dongfang Zhi's mother and daughter get angry, and his whole body immediately releases the momentum of the golden armor sword god, wanting to deter Li Tong with this.

Li Tong is just a silver-armored swordsman, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't dare to provoke Howell, but it's not the first time that Howell has been mad at him, and every time he is afraid of his identity and doesn't make a move.

This time it was the same, Li Tong was not afraid at all, and looked at Howell and continued to smile presumptuously: "Am I excessive? Hmph, it is said that Dongfang Zhi also injured the third prince in the royal capital, he is a criminal, what qualifications does he have to be the commander of the Red Dragon Legion, I think, if he starts a war with the Yoga Kingdom this time, he will definitely lose." ”

"Li Jianjun, you said that our army will definitely lose this war with the Yoga Kingdom?" Dongfang Zhi asked.

"Hmph, isn't it? I will definitely lose!" Li Tonglang said.

"Defeat before the battle, Deputy Commander Howell, may I ask what kind of crime this is?" Dongfang Zhi asked loudly.

"This ......" Howell looked at the other person in embarrassment, this crime can be big or small.

At this time, a young official dressed as a civilian official immediately walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, and said loudly: "If you go back to the major general in the east, this kind of thing can be big or small, everyone at the military meeting expresses their opinions, you don't have to be so serious. ”

"What? What is said at the military meeting, you don't have to be serious?" Dongfang Zhi's face became even more gloomy, and the eyes of the civilian official were like sharp swords.

The civil official was so frightened that he turned his head and glanced at Li Tong, but Li Tong was arrogant and arrogant and showed off his martial arts and prestige without even looking at him.

The civil official gritted his teeth and said, "The pre-war word is defeated...... Da Zhao said in the law...... Can...... Chop first, then play!"

"Then what are you waiting for, Li Tongzhan's preface is known to everyone, drag it out and behead it!" Dongfang Zhi suddenly shouted loudly.

This sound shook the cochlea of everyone in the hall, and a powerful coercion from the soul made their legs tremble, and the civil official who had just read out the punishment regulations trembled with fright, and did not dare to raise his head.
