Chapter 42 The army is ready to go
In order not to make trouble for myself, when I first returned to the Orc Country, I didn't tell me about the Holy Dragon Knights of the Dragon God Empire, I said: "I also recently confirmed that the Dragon God Empire has a very secret legion, you shouldn't know it." β
The Beast Emperor was stunned and said, "Secret Legion? β
I said in a deep voice, "The Holy Dragon Knights, a secret legion of only seventeen people. β
The Beast Emperor frowned and said: "The Holy Dragon Knights Regiment, composed of seventeen people, what can they do, even if they are all dragon knights, it will only add some strength to the Dragon God Empire." β
I said word by word: "They are not composed of dragon knights, but dragon riders." β
"What? Dragoons!Ah, you don't mean that in addition to the three marshals of their empire, there are seventeen dragoons. I nodded solemnly.
The Beast Emperor's eyes widened and said: "Seventeen Dragoons, Seventeen Dragoons, no, this is impossible, how great is the destructive power of Dragoons, do you know? They can easily destroy an elite team of thousands." If the dragon god has such strength, why don't you destroy us and the demons. β
I smiled slightly and said, "That's why I said that secret can make us feel at ease to attack the demons." Why did the dragon god not destroy us and the demons, there is a reason, the ancestors of the human race once got the instructions of the gods by chance, and the gods said: Every creature has the right to live, and they are not allowed to change the balance of the continent with their own powerful strength, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. God's instructions are commands for mankind, and no one dares to disobey them. So, did you find it, the Dragon God Empire rarely sends troops to attack the demons and us, and has always been on passive defense, and it is precisely because of this that we can be in a safe corner. β
The Beast Emperor's eyes widened and said, "You mean, even if we fight with the demon clan, the dragon god will not take advantage of the war between our two clans to sneak attack." β
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say." Even if the dragon god really comes to sneak attack, they won't go too far, and they will always leave us a way to live. The strength of the demons is stronger than ours, if I am the commander of the Dragon God Empire, at most I will lead the troops to drag the demons back, and the best way is to wait and see what happens. β
At this time, the Beast Emperor had been infected by my strong self-confidence, and two cold glints shot out of his eyes: "What do you want to do? You know, even without the participation of the Dragon God, the Demon Race is not something we can easily fight." β
"I know this, I planned it this way, our purpose is not to attack the demons, but to sneak attack. After all, the two clans of Warcraft have always been in a cooperative relationship, and we can't get too stiff with the demons, as long as we give them a little bit of strength and let them know that our orc clan is not so easy to bully. β
The Beast Emperor said: "You say more detailed, and the plan will be released?"
I smiled slightly, took out the map from my arms, because the table had collapsed, so I had to lay it flat on the ground, pointed to a narrow strip of land on the border between the demon and beast races, and said, "Father, look here." β
The Beast Emperor also squatted down and said, "Well, this is the Dunde Province of the Demon Clan, part of which borders our leopard settlement, and part of which is next to the obituary of the Bear Settlement, this province of the Demon Race has a very close relationship with our two domains, and often conducts some trade, which is very rich, and it is a big commercial province of the Demon Clan." β
I nodded and said: "The Dunde Province of the Demon Clan has a long border with our two domains, and it is in the inland area, so I am not afraid of being attacked by the Dragon God Empire, so this province is very rich, and there will not be too many garrisons, what I want to do is to use the fastest speed to lead people to occupy the entire Dunde Province and sweep their various materials, you see here." β
I pointed to a point on the map in the province of Dunde: "This is the city of Stanla, the capital of the province of Dundeok." I've inquired, it's a very big city, and it's the largest commercial center in the interior of the demons. As long as we occupy it, we can defend the city and negotiate with the demons. Since the whole province of Dunde is in our hands, we can garrison our troops in several cities around the city of Stanla, forming a horn force. I don't think we need to transport supplies ourselves, and the looted supplies alone will be enough to support the army. As long as we can hold on for a while, the demons will definitely not give up such a rich province, and when the time comes, I will let them know that my orc country is not so easy to bully. β
The Beast Emperor stood up and paced back and forth in the Imperial Study. After a full tea time, he stopped and asked solemnly, "Are you really sure? What if the demons send a large army to attack our other territories when we attack the province of Thandeok?"
"I've also thought of this, in order to avoid this situation, I hope that you can mobilize the armed forces of all the territories of our country and station them in the several major territories bordering our borders with the demons. I think that if the Demon Emperor and the others don't clean up our invaders, they will never risk going deep alone to attack our interior. β
The Beast Emperor smiled bitterly: "You think too simply, we just sacrificed 300,000 troops in the battle against the Dragon God, how can the patriarchs of those various clans still be willing to send troops to help us attack the demon clan." Those bastards will only cower in their own territory. β
I smiled slightly, and said: "Hmph, when the time comes, I can't help but send them troops, we can directly attack the Dunde Province of the Demon Clan, and then notify those patriarchs, let them gather troops to defend, and they don't need to send a single soldier to fight, in the order given to them, you can tell them that the Demon Clan may attack at any time, so if they still want to keep their right position, then they must unite to guard the border." If my guess is right, these selfish guys have an elite army at their disposal, and as long as they don't want to betray the whole orc, I think they'll know what works best for them. "When I said that the elite troops were talking about it, I deduced it from the gold, silver, and Panzong.
The Beast Emperor was stunned for a long time before he reacted: "However, this is too risky, if I don't notify the patriarchs of the various clans before the war, I will be impeached by them together, if we fight in front, they just refuse to help defend in the back, then what should we do, wouldn't our orc clan ......"
I shook my head and said, "No." First, no one wants their homeland to fall, and another, the demons will not let us orcs exterminate the race, if we are finished, then who will they form an ally with to fight against the Dragon God Empire. I said at the beginning that our purpose is not to really start a war with the demons, we just have to do something to give the demons a strong deterrent, so that they don't dare to bully us at will. As long as we save a little face for the demons in the end, I think they will be happy to accept it. β
"Even if you say what you say, but if you don't inform the chiefs of the various clans first, what will we use to attack Dunde Province? Our people over there have reported to me that there are 50,000 defenders in Dunde Province, and the commander of the garrison is still a fallen angel. β
I rolled up the map and said, "Father, if you want to win this battle, you must give me the right to be free, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask for the word trust, is that okay?"
The Beast Emperor said solemnly: "Of course, you are my son, how can I not trust you, what do you want to do?"
A cold glint flashed in my eyes, and I said, "How many people are there in the Wild Lion Legion in your hands?"
The Beast Emperor replied: "There are more than 30,000, but I still have to rely on them to defend the imperial capital, and I can't give it all to you." β
"Not all, I hope you can transfer me 10,000 elites, and then draw a thousand people out of the Beamon Behemoth Legion for me, led by my father, it's enough. Yunnarand and Sass will also send some elites, and with these people, I will be able to take down the whole of Dunde in the shortest possible time. Of course, the most important thing is that these people must be led by me, not my father. β
The Beast Emperor frowned and said: "I can give you the people of the Wild Lion Legion, but you can't move the Beamon Legion, you must know that the Beamon Legion not only symbolizes the most powerful power of my Orc Clan, but at the same time, it is also on the same level as the Fallen Angel Legion and the Dragon Knight Legion, if we use them, then the Fallen Angel Legion of the Demon Clan will naturally participate in this battle, and it will be difficult to win." β
I shook my head and said, "No, I need Beamon's strong impact to attack the fortification, this operation must not be without them, as for the Fallen Angel Legion, don't worry, they may not be able to harm us much." Take a step back and say, they are in battle, can you tell me, how many people are in the Fallen Angel Legion?"
The Beast Emperor thought for a moment and said, "There should be more than thirty, in the last attack on the Dragon God, they killed two, but they also fought two Dragon Knights." β
I said calmly: " Okay, I'll give you an analysis of the current situation of the Fallen Angel Legion, as far as I know, the Fallen Angel Legion is a total of thirty-eight, you just said, two have died, that is, there are still thirty-six left, this time we eliminated four fallen angels in Sasi Leader with the combined power of three people, that is, there are still thirty-two left, when I was in the Terran Dragon God Empire, I once heard the front-line troop scouts say that the demon race is now divided into two factions, the Demon Emperor is one faction, controlling most of the fallen angels, but the other force although I don't know who it is, but also controls one-third of the fallen angels, the two sides have secretly clashed, and four fallen angels have died because of thisγ Looking at it this way, in addition to the Demon Emperor and his guard leader who can also turn into four-winged fallen angels, there are only twenty-eight fallen angels left, and even if the Demon Emperor can control all the fallen angels, he will not let them all come out and take risks, after all, our thousand Beamon warriors are not vegetarians. Moreover, with me and the Hydra Panzong, the two-headed wolf gold and silver, plus my father, we can at least deal with about ten fallen angels, even if there is a four-winged one, my father can also deal with it, and a few of us cooperate with the Beamon Behemoth, I'm afraid they won't be able to please it. β
Actually, there is water in my words, and when I killed the fallen angel at the same time, I also transformed at the same time, but if I lead the orc clan to attack it, can I become a fallen angel?
The Beast Emperor was obviously moved by my words, "Can you bring those two spiritual leaders of the snake people and the werewolf people to meet me." β
I nodded, "Of course." I know you also need time to think about it, so I'll bring them to you early tomorrow morning, Father, you must make a decision as soon as possible. If you want to reduce your losses, you must prepare as early as possible. I knew there was a certain amount of risk involved, but the greater the danger, the greater the benefit. β
"Well, I see, you go down first. "It can be seen that the Beast Emperor's expression is very tired, it is really difficult to decide this matter, if it is not good, he will become a sinner of the orc clan, so I will not force him anymore.
"Yes, Father. The retainers retired. You pay attention to your body. β
I was just about to leave when the Beast Emperor stopped me again: "Ahhh β
"What else do you command? "Now that you've come back, let's go home and take a look, because of the defeat in the last war, your father hasn't been in a good mood lately, and he is your biological father after all." Moreover, if you want to succeed in this attack on the demons, you must convince him, don't you want to take the Beamon warriors with you? Then you have to ask your father if he agrees. β
"I will, Father. "It's time to go back, I haven't seen my father in a long time. Although I don't have any feelings for him, or even hatred, I still can't ignore his place in my heart. What son is not proud of his father's strength. Who doesn't want their father to be a hero that everyone respects.
Seeing that my eyes were a little confused, the Beast Emperor continued: "Your mother lives well in the palace, she has changed a lot, I went to see her once when you first left, and I went there again a few days ago, although it has only been a few months, but the changes are very obvious, I almost can't recognize it." β
Hearing him talk about his mother, I felt a warmth in my heart: "Father, thank you for taking care of your mother. I'll go see her later. β
"Well, go down, alas...... I need to think about it. Seeing that I was leaving, the Beast Emperor said to himself, "What should I do?"
The black shadow flashed, and an unsightly human figure floated to the side of the Beast Emperor: "Your Majesty, this kid is right, this is an opportunity, if people don't resist when they are bullied, then your prestige will be even lower in the future." Moreover, the demons will intensify their ......"
The Beast Emperor raised his hand to stop the black shadow from continuing: "Do you think Lei Xiang can be fully trusted? If he really succeeds this time, then his prestige in the Orc Country will also be greatly increased, not to mention, you also heard that it only took him such a short time to subdue the snake people and werewolf people, I am really a little worried." β
The black shadow said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I really don't see any ambition from Lei Xiang's child, with my years of experience in watching people, he completely wants to help the orcs become stronger, don't use suspicious people, you should understand the truth of using people without doubt." Besides, his mother is still in our hands, and he can't play any tricks. The most important point is that he does not have the appearance of an orc, so how can he be convinced, so I advise you not to worry. β
Hearing his words, the Beast Emperor was shocked, sighed, and said, "If the situation of the Meritorious Lord appears, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to solve, but you're right, I really should reuse him." To be honest, I really like this kid, if only he were my own son. β
The black shadow said: "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, when our people come back, ask him if Lei Xiang is trustworthy, isn't it better to make up his mind." β
The Beast Emperor nodded and said, "Okay, then let's discuss it first, if we attack,......" At this moment, a loud voice sounded outside the imperial study: "Report." β
The Beast Emperor shouted angrily, "Didn't you say you weren't allowed to disturb me?"
The person outside replied: "Your Majesty, it's from the demon clan, I have to see you in person, that's why I ......."
"Hmm, the demons are here. The Beast Emperor glanced at the black shadow and said, "What are the demons doing here?" "It seems, it seems to be ......"
"How's that, say it quickly. β
"Yes, Your Majesty, the envoy from the demon clan seems to care what money we want. The Beast Emperor was furious, stood up suddenly, and snorted angrily, "Fuck, aren't these bastards finished? We've lost much more than them, and we're mad at us for money." β
The black shadow whispered: "This person still needs to be seen, Your Majesty, you calm down." After all, the Beast Emperor is the king of a country, he took two deep breaths, and commanded the guards outside in a deep voice: "You take the demon envoy to the palace to wait for me, and I will go over immediately." β
"Yes, Your Majesty. The black shadow had disappeared when the Beast Emperor spoke, and the Beast Emperor gritted his teeth, tidied up his clothes, and went straight to the palace of the pro-government. γjzγγγγγβ»γγγγβ»γγγγβ»γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγοΏ½
The door to the garden was open, and it was very quiet inside, without any sound. The fragrance of flowers and plants came from the courtyard, and I liked the smell of nature the most, and I immediately felt refreshed. I lightened my pace, restrained my breath, and quietly walked in.
The familiar back of my mother suddenly appeared in front of me, she was squatting in the yard and sorting out the flowers and plants, her movements were very serious and careful, as if she was afraid of destroying those things.
Mother wore a pale pink dress today, covered with a white cloak made of unknown fur, because it was winter, although the climate here was good, it was still a little cold, mother's hair was black and shiny, and occasionally a breeze blew, which would raise a few strands of green silk from her.
When I saw my mother, I felt that the blood in my whole body was boiling, this is the feeling of blood connection, so in order not to disturb my mother's interest, I walked over cautiously step by step.
But I forgot about my tall body, and when I came behind my mother, the shadow caused by my body blocked the sunlight, and the ground suddenly darkened.
The mother was so agile that she jumped forward slightly, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"
I stepped forward, plopped, and fell to my knees: "Mom, it's me back." Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
My mother hurriedly grabbed my arms and said excitedly, "Son, why did you come back so soon?" β
There was a warm vitality field from my mother's body, which made me feel very comfortable, and the strange uncomfortable feeling a few days ago suddenly weakened a lot, which may be the effect of turquoise.
My mother helped me up, looked at me carefully, and I also looked at my mother, indeed as the beast emperor said, my mother has changed a lot compared to when I left, not only did she find a black silk again, but her skin also became more delicate and shiny, no longer as dry as before, and the wrinkles on her face faded a lot with the gradual plumping of her body.
My mother was indeed a beautiful woman, and although she was nearly forty years old and had been too old, I could now see in her the demeanor of a girl. While wiping the tears from my face, my mother said kindly, "Child, you have lost weight. Outside, these people have suffered. β
There's no way not to lose weight, and most of the time I go out spends most of my time in bed, so it's strange not to be thin. I shook my mother's hand and said, "It's nothing, how can you gain without paying." You're so beautiful. β
A flush flashed on her mother's face, which became even more gorgeous, and she said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about, are you making fun of your mother?"
I smiled and said, "Mom, I'm telling the truth, you're really beautiful, and I'm really happy that you're so healthy." β
My mother took my hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the house." "When I entered the room, my mother pressed me into a chair and sat down by herself, but her kind eyes never left my face.
"Child, do you know, when you told me that you could help me restore my appearance, I didn't have much hope at all, but after half a year of recuperation, I think I'm afraid that it won't take me three years to return to my normal state. Mom, thank you so much, you gave me hope to live. As she spoke, her mother's eyes turned red.
I called out affectionately, "Mom!" and took a step forward and squatted in front of my mother.
My mother held my head in her arms, and the strong vitality field nourished my body and mind under the tolerance of mother's love. "Mom, these are all things I should do, you are the most beautiful compared to your peers now. β
My mother put her face on my head and casually asked, "Really?" I smiled and said, "Of course it's true, have you forgotten? β
Mother said, "Yes, you have been to the dragon god before. I don't know if I have any hope of going back in my life. I said firmly: "Yes, of course, when I take care of the affairs of the orcs, I will definitely take you back, the duke knows how happy he will be to see you." β
The mother said lightly: "If I can really go back, I just want to quietly look at him in the dark for a moment or two, that's enough, I don't want to destroy other people's families." Son, I'm not going to tell him I'm still alive, understand?"
I stood up, frowned, and said, "Mom, I don't understand, after so many years, aren't you waiting for this time? Why don't you meet the duke? I believe that Uncle Lin Feng is not the kind of person who doesn't miss the old love." β
The mother smiled bitterly and said, "I just know that he is not the kind of person who does not want to see him, do you understand? If we meet, what will happen to his wife, his daughter, his home, and even his hard-won power may be lost." He has already done so much for me, I can't let him suffer anymore, it's been so many years, why should I trouble him again. By the way, what did you decide to do with his two daughters?"
Speaking of Ziyan and Zixue, a tenderness flashed in my eyes, and a strong longing surged in my heart, making me speechless for a while. "Silly boy, I can see in your eyes that you really like them, but why can't you just choose one. You men, you always wish you had three wives and four concubines. β
I blushed, scratched my head, and said with some embarrassment: "I actually don't want to be like that, in terms of feelings, sometimes I can't control it at all." Mom, I'm really not the kind of person you say. β
Mother smiled: "Okay, Mom knows that you are a good child, as long as you hold on to yourself and don't hurt these people who love you, no matter how many wives you marry and come home, Mom will support you." β
I was moved and said, "Thank you, Mom." β
"By the way, didn't you say when you left that it would take a long time to come back?
I sighed and said, "Something happened, I had to come back." Do you remember my guards? This time, only Mammock came back with me, and all the others were killed. β
Mother was surprised and said, "What? are all dead? Didn't you say that the guards were all very good at kung fu?" I said hatefully: "No matter how good their kung fu is, they can't deal with the fallen angels of the demon clan." Those bastards of the demon race, in order to prevent the development of our orc country, actually adopted such despicable methods, I will definitely not give up with them, I came back this time to discuss with Your Majesty about sending troops. β
The mother frowned and said, "Is there another war?"
I took my mother's hand and said, "Mom, I know you don't like force, but sometimes, the enemy has already bullied the doorstep, don't we fight back? After all, we want to protect our homeland from being violated, don't we?"
The mother suddenly said solemnly: "Ah Xiang, can you promise your mother one thing." β
I nodded happily and said, "Of course you can, don't say one, it's ten, hundred, as long as it's your mother's order, I will definitely help you achieve your wish." β
The mother said with relief: "That's good, I hope you can promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you won't lead troops to fight the dragon god, okay?"
I lowered my head and thought for a while, and said, "Mom, if everything goes well, we will teach the demons a lesson this time, and then pacify the orcs, I will take you to the Dragon God Empire, I think, there should be no conflict with them, not to mention, there is still my favorite person in the Dragon God." β
The mother's face sank and she said, "I want you to give me a clear answer, okay?"
Seeing that my mother was a little angry, I hurriedly said: "Okay, I, Lei Xiang, swear that I will never lead the orc army to attack the human dragon god empire for the rest of my life, and if I violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." β
When I said to the end, my mother covered my mouth and complained, "I just asked you to promise me, who made you swear." I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mom, I still don't know what your real name is, tell me quickly." β
Mother smiled slightly and said, "I just remember to ask now, remember, my mother's name is Ziyun." β
I said suspiciously, "Isn't it Ziling?"
"Silly boy, Lingling is my mother's nickname, and my mother's big name is Ziyun. β
"Ziyun is also very good! By the way, Mom, I have become brothers with a few orc friends. β
"Oh, who are they?"
"Counting me, there are four people, I am the fourth, and the third brother is my only remaining guard, to be honest, I am very responsible for the death of the guards, at that time, if I had gone back two days earlier, maybe the tragedy would not have happened. Speaking of the dead guards, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, "So, I will definitely protect Mengke well, and I must not let him be hurt again." When it comes to four people, it should actually be five, because the second in line is the two-headed werewolf gold and silver, they have two wolf heads and two brains. Mother asked curiously, "Is there such a race of orcs?" β
I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say you haven't heard of it, I haven't heard of it either, this time I saw not only the two-headed wolf, but also the hydra." However, fortunately, he has one mind, otherwise it would be a mess. Hydra is our eldest brother Panzong, and I gave him his name. β
"And where are they now?"
"I asked the third brother to take them to arrange a place to stay, but he didn't come back with me. β
Mother said: "This is your fault, why don't you bring people back, we have enough places to live here, it's no problem to have dozens of people, anyway, the Beast Emperor won't blame you." β
yes, I didn't think of that. I hugged my mother and kissed her on the cheek.
"Mom, you're right, I'll go find them. With that, I ran out impatiently.
My mother smiled kindly and looked at my departing back: "This child." β
