Chapter 439: Old People and Old Things
The Consulate of the Orc Kingdom in Wolf City, Master Linghu slowly opened his eyes, and the whole person was uncontrollably tired, he gently stroked the beautiful white fox in his arms, and his deep eyes were like a calm and boundless black sea, occasionally seeing a little starlight.
"Master, does Your Majesty have an edict for today's affairs?" the orc general on the side asked impatiently.
Master Linghu glanced at the generals around him, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: Although the kingdom has many soldiers and generals, there are few famous generals, which is in line with the ancient saying of human beings - a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
It is said that the person in front of him is also from a famous family in the kingdom, but in Linghu's eyes, he is just a rude fighter, and it is reluctant to serve as a commander of 10,000 people, but he was sent to replace the assassinated Cisse to lead the Southern Tribal Legion......
In this regard, Linghu was helpless except for a long sigh, since the Battle of Yinshan, there has been an inexplicable arrogance among the nobles within the kingdom for ten years, believing that the human empire and the god-given republic have decayed, and all that lives there is nothing more than a group of mediocre and shameless people. Even a certain important minister of the kingdom declared: Except for one Guo Zizhong, the heroes of the world are all in the kingdom.
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress Shengming was not deceived by this, but she could not do anything about it...... Or perhaps Her Majesty the Empress deliberately indulges this kind of arrogance, after all, a self-confident citizen is more conducive to the rule of the kingdom!
However, as Linghu deepened his contact with the two countries, he found more and more that the kingdom was different from the way the kingdom's generals grew up barbarically, and the human empire was more focused on systematic training...... With a clear division of labor and close cooperation, every war is a great integration of wisdom.
As for the God-given Republic, in order to maintain the absolute dominance of the Protoss, those who can receive systematic education are generally the children of the Protoss, and of course, they will also select outstanding talents from various tribes and cultivate them together with the children of the Protoss. Coupled with the advantage of the Protoss bloodline, there is no shortage of excellent generals in the God-given Republic.
As for the kingdom army, Linghu had to admit with shame that there was a certain truth in the human empire and the god-given republic for ridiculing the kingdom's barbarism and rudeness. Because, the main way to choose and train the generals of the kingdom is war—frequent, brutal lord wars.
Within the territory of the kingdom, there are more than 1,800 large and small lords, who can fight a war for women, for livestock, and even for venting their excess energy.
The only condition for starting a civil war is that it must be filed with the internal affairs officials sent by the kingdom in various places before the war begins. As long as the case is filed, you don't need anyone's approval to start a war immediately!
Fortunately, the kingdom has an unrivaled ability to reproduce its population, otherwise, it would have collapsed in an endless civil war without waiting for the other two countries to attack.
Of course, there is still no comparison between the level of the civil war in the kingdom and the war of imperial power in the human empire, although nearly 20,000 civil wars break out every year, but as long as you look at the filing documents sent by the internal affairs officials in various places, you can know that most of them are just dozens of people tangled up and fighting.
Thanks to this barbaric and extensive training method, the kingdom has never lacked fierce generals, but there are very few excellent generals, as for whether there can be famous generals like Guo Zizhong, Mengton, Huo Qing, and Bolu, it depends on whether God appreciates his face.
It can be said that in the ten years after the Battle of Yinshan, the biggest shortcoming of the kingdom's military is in the generals, and there is a lack of famous generals, especially the top generals who command millions of troops and are invincible. If it weren't for that, the entire continent would have become the kingdom's pasture.
In contrast, the human empire is completely different.
For example, in Northern Xinjiang, Linghu still remembers that when he first heard that Guo Zizhong had died in the imperial capital, he sighed and rejoiced.
At that time, almost all the generals of the kingdom who stayed in the southern tribes believed that the wolf cavalry camp was destroyed, Guo Zizhong died, and there was no one in the northern frontier from now on, and when spring came, the kingdom army could drive straight into the rich hinterland of mankind.
After half a year of ups and downs, the northern defense line is still as solid as a rock.
Whether it's the Hunter Legion from the Far North, or the Vampire Legion that has come from the aftermath of a hundred battles, they all hit the nail on the head.
You must know that the Ranger Legion walks on the edge of light and darkness all year round, wandering between life and death, and its combat effectiveness is so terrifying that even the Guards Brigade does not dare to win. At that time, it was only a wolf rider who guarded the wolf city, but he stubbornly withstood the endless attacks of this terrorist army, and finally returned in vain.
As for the Battle of the Northwest, it created an incredible miracle.
All the generals of the kingdom who have experienced the Necromantic War in the Ice Field are convinced that the Necromantic Legion is incomprehensible!
However, the Northwest Legion of the human race, after losing Lieutenant General Bug and Tamu City, defeated the Vampire Legion with a defender composed of more than half of the new army, and finally the entire Vampire Legion was almost completely wiped out, directly shaking the foundation of the Twilight Clan's rule.
This can no longer be called a victory, but a miracle that is simply impossible.
Linghu believes that this represents the true heritage of a country, and the stars and famous generals will not change because of the existence of a person, which is exactly what the kingdom lacks.
......
"Master!" the general's voice was obviously a little impatient, if it weren't for the prestigious druid of the kingdom in front of him, the top worship of the royal family, such a contemptuous attitude, he would definitely reward two big-eared scrapers.
Linghu saw the rebellious look in the eyes of the military general in front of him, and his heart was even more disappointed, but he hid this disappointment very well, and smiled: "Your Majesty has no decree for the time being, and orders me to wait for the camera to act!"
The military general frowned and said: "Are we so consumed?" Then Li Wuheng is too ignorant, my kingdom has millions of elites, and he dares to be so arrogant even if he is a grass king, in my opinion, instead of coaxing with good words, it is better to beat him to his knees and beg for mercy!"
A trace of pity flashed in Master Linghu's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered Cisse who died tragically in the lost town - the young general he once valued very much, for the sake of a woman, he died in a place like the lost town without knowing why, which is simply the biggest shame for a soldier!
Linghu said meaningfully: "People are precious and self-aware!"
The military general was stunned for a moment, and immediately sneered and echoed: "What the master said is right, that Li Wuheng is arrogant and ignorant, and the girls under him are even more arrogant and unprovoked, they won't be able to jump for long!"
Master Linghu sighed speechlessly, too lazy to say anything more. Fang just used the druid's secret method to deliver the news back to the kingdom, thousands of miles away, and the mental power was too consumed, and it would be difficult to recover in a day or two.
At this time, an orc guard came to report: "The princess of the Yasukuni of the Bright Dynasty Chiba is here, hoping to visit the master!"
Master Linghu was stunned and pondered for a moment, but he never guessed the purpose of Chiba coming to visit at this time. He simply got up and headed outside the consulate. In any case, this princess's identity is not trivial, and it is rumored that she has an influence on the Bright Emperor and Northern Xinjiang that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. The future situation on the mainland is becoming more and more confusing, and it is still necessary for such young powerful figures to give a certain respect.
......
In the consulate hall, the main seat was vacant, Master Linghu and Chiba were sitting opposite each other, and even the orc general was dismissed. When the two of them were seated, a servant prepared a cup and served half a cup of tea.
Chiba took a sip, only to feel that her mouth was infiltrated, and the fragrance was fragrant, and she couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" She subconsciously glanced at the servant serving the tea, her eyes were slightly condensed, and she immediately retracted, and her face was as usual.
Master Linghu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the servant retreated.
The two were silent for a moment, but Master Linghu took the lead and said, "I don't know what happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Chiba put down the teacup, but instead of answering, he asked, "I heard that the master went to the Governor's Mansion today, I don't know if there will be any gains?"
Master Linghu smiled: "The old man doesn't understand what the princess means!"
Chiba smiled faintly: "Does the master not understand, or is it difficult to speak?"
Seeing that Chiba's question was becoming more and more aggressive, Master Linghu was still unmoved, and continued to say calmly: "The Duke of Ice Plain of your country is my old friend, and the Governor's Mansion is just to congratulate him on his wedding, so how can it be difficult to talk about it?"
Chiba sighed lightly, knowing that if he didn't find out, the old fox in front of him would be able to pretend to be confused forever. She said slowly: "Master, I came today to tell you a story!"
Linghu's heart moved, and he let out a light "oh", but he didn't answer.
Chiba said: "Do you know why your orc guard brigade was able to defeat the wolf cavalry camp last autumn?"
Linghu's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he was still silent.
Chiba continued, "It's about a horrific mystery and a murderer who is now in a high position......"
Linghu suddenly raised his hand to stop him: "Your Royal Highness, before telling this story, can you tell me what you want?"
The corners of Chiba's mouth curled slightly: "I don't need anything." Because I believe that after telling this story, I will definitely get what I want. ”
Linghu nodded, with a solemn expression, the fall of the wolf riding camp last year was full of strange and unreasonable coincidences. He really wanted to know what was going on? He believed that what the woman in front of him said must be the truth!
As Chiba spoke, the spirit fox's shock became stronger and stronger. So much so that when Chiba finished speaking, Linghu was still in disbelief, he looked at Chiba with a smile and Yan Yan's appearance, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know what it means for you to do this?"
Chiba smiled but didn't say a word.
Linghu took a deep breath: "You must know that once this matter spreads, the northern frontier of your country is very likely to fall into division, and no one will give up such a God-given opportunity!"
Chiba sneered faintly: "Master, you think too much! That person can be in a high position, but it comes from the trust of the royal family and the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, once this matter spreads, the trust no longer exists, and he is not even as good as a dog!"
Linghu stared at Chiba, his mind raced, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, who else knows about this matter?"
Chiba gently stroked the tea cup with his fingers, and said slowly: "Li Wuheng!"
Linghu's eyes shrank: "It turns out that Her Royal Highness the princess wants to deal with Li Wuheng, it seems that the royal family of your country is still very jealous of this duke!"
Chiba smiled slightly: "It's just a rebel and a thief, it's nothing, I just don't want to be disturbed when I do it!"
Linghu nodded: "In the Wolf City, if there is no support from Mengton, and the Northern Frontier Army is panicking, it is indeed the best opportunity to deal with this young duke!"
Chiba said: "So, the master has already decided?!"
Linghu smiled and said, "It will be as the princess wishes! Moreover, I will not tell anyone that I learned about it from the princess." ”
Chiba smiled lightly: "Whatever, I won't admit it anyway!"
Linghu breathed a sigh, such a shrewd woman, it seems that it is impossible to hold the other party's handle!
Chiba raised the teacup in his hand again and said, "Master, I have a reluctant request!"
Linghu smiled: "Princess, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Chiba said: "The young tea master just now, can the master cut love?"
Linghu's eyes flashed: "The princess already knows who he is?"
Chiba sighed lightly: "It's not a secret, I have known him since childhood, and I am also a friend! It's just that I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I didn't expect to see him here-"
Linghu said: "The world is impermanent, fate is ill-fated, and this friend of the princess is also a rough man." If it weren't for someone's careful training, he might not even be able to do the little thing of serving tea. In fact, he is already a demented person!"
Chiba was not surprised, and said indifferently: "No matter what, I should always do my best." After all, his father is actually a person who has made a great contribution to the dynasty!"
Linghu nodded, clapped his hands, and the young servant immediately walked in. Linghu said: "Liu Chengcheng, this is Her Royal Highness the princess of your country, from now on, you will leave with Your Highness!"
