Chapter 264: The Sonorous Imperial Capital
Conquering the Holy Maiden Guan Longquan is already a victory in hand, and now Long Ming is also winning a series of battles on the sonorous battlefield.
The attack power of his magic forbidden spell was so powerful that the guards of the major cities of the Thunderous Empire were terrified, and as soon as the Celestial Dragon Army arrived, they raised their banners and surrendered.
The sonorous heavenly fire and the sonorous Xuanbing could not be stopped, they could only report to His Majesty Ren Tianming, the emperor of the sonorous empire, the situation was no longer controllable, and it seemed that it was time to send envoys to negotiate.
"Tianhuo, has there been a response from my father's side?" asked sonorous Xuanbing listlessly.
"I just received the will of my father, and he asked us to go back to the imperial capital first. "Sonorous Heavenly Fire Road.
"Let's go back like this, don't we want any territory outside?"
"Then what can be done, who can hold it now, the city lords and guards of various cities, as soon as they heard that Long Ming was coming, they surrendered before the war began. ”
"Then we can't just leave, what does Father mean?"
"He didn't make it clear, probably meaning that since the orc forces have withdrawn, there is no need for us to resist, maybe we want to stop fighting and sue for peace. ”
"Orcs are indeed unrighteous, they run faster than anyone else after being beaten by the magic forbidden spell once, this war was caused by them, does my father want to push the war of the Heavenly Dragon Army to the Beast Empire?"
"No matter how much it is, let's go back first. ”
The Minotaur Bowk has returned to the Beast Empire with the Berserker and the few remaining remnants of the defeated army, and he can only ask the Beast Emperor for his guilt, because he has no way to defeat the Celestial Dragon Army.
The Beast Emperor Starba was a strong and burly orc with a lion's head and body, and he was not angry after hearing Bowke's report, as if he had already expected this result.
"This was originally a big gamble, I thought that the snake girl could directly petrify all the generals of the Celestial Dragon Empire, including the Dragon Fist brothers, so that we could easily defeat them. But it backfired, we lost the bet, and since we lost, we had to bear the consequences, and the gap in the strength of the army was huge. Bowke, you have been fighting for so long, and it is not easy for the Celestial Dragon Army to defeat the Beast Empire. "Although the voice of the Beast Emperor is vicissitudes, it is very powerful.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, I am guilty, I can't win the Tianlong Army, and so many soldiers have died. Bowker the Minotaur cried.
"Don't blame yourself, isn't there a berserker in the army, bring him in to see me. ”
"Yes, I'll call him in. ”
The Berserker was a Behemoth of Beamon, too big for Bowk to let him in, but the Beast Emperor's hall was still large enough to accommodate him.
"See Your Majesty. "The Berserker is not berserker now, and he is conscious.
"Hmm. Haha, I've only heard of Berserkers all along, and now it's the first time I've seen them, and I'd love to see you fight your way back to the enemy. In terms of cultivating magic, we orcs have no talent at all, and mad combat is our strength, but there are too few people who can truly awaken their bloodlines and become berserkers in the true sense, if there are more berserkers like you, we don't have to be afraid of the Celestial Dragon Army. ”
"Your Majesty, if the Celestial Dragon Army attacks, I will definitely rush to the front and defend the dignity of the Empire!" the berserker's deep voice sounded.
"Haha, okay, I just want to see your loyalty today, as long as you are all loyal to the Beast Empire, there is still hope for everything. The enemy's magic forbidden spell is too powerful, and we orcs are basically helpless in this aspect of powerful magic attacks, but don't forget the glorious moment when our orcs were in the past, before the Tianxuan Empire, our berserkers had a large number of awakenings and dominated the continent for a while, but after they disappeared, we could only submit to humans. But this is not a test, we orcs can bend and stretch, only can endure humiliation and bear the burden in order to usher in greater glory. Berserker, I believe you are the beginning of the next massive berserker awakening, and I hope that this time you can get through it, endure the humiliation, and wait until all the berserkers have awakened, and then we will make a comeback. After all, the Celestial Dragon Empire is a human empire, and it is impossible for our orc race to be wiped out, let alone rule us, if the sonorous empire can't resist it, we can only stop fighting and sue for peace, temporarily submit to them, and pay tribute every year in order to seek stability. But it is not our purpose to compromise, we are waiting for the awakening of the orcs, I hope you can endure it! I can only endure it!" the beast emperor said very hard, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty and I are really unwilling, but..."The Minotaur wept.
"Bowke, I know you want to reassemble all your armies and fight hard, but the army you brought with you this time is the best warrior in the Empire, and the enemy has wiped you out with a spell. I know you're unwilling, so why shouldn't I, but don't bury the empire's remaining living forces, so we won't even have a chance to wait for the awakening and turn over!" said the Beast Emperor loudly.
"Yes, what Your Majesty said makes sense, and we all listen to you. Bowker the Minotaur did not dare to refute.
The orc leaders present also said that they were not wise in the first place, their ideas were very simple, and they never considered the problem comprehensively. The reason why the Beast Emperor Xingba became the Beast Emperor was not because he was strong, but because he was wise enough among the orcs to dominate the overall situation, and the orcs could be more prosperous under his rule.
The sonorous Heavenly Fire and the sonorous Xuanbing returned to the Imperial Capital of the Sonorous Empire, Earthquake City, which was named after the Founding Emperor.
His Majesty, the current emperor of the sonorous empire, is also a very wise emperor, in fact, he has already seen the current situation clearly, so he is determined to let his two adopted sons come back.
"Father, now that the Tianlong Army led by Long Ming is fierce, and the guards of various cities are greedy for life and afraid of death, why are you in such a hurry to call us back, have you given up our territory?"
"I've known the situation on the front lines for a long time. Ren Tianming is really an emperor who is not angry and arrogant, and he is still in the prime of life, compared to the timidity and cowardice of some other old emperors, he is still very ambitious, and said: "In fact, it is not only the loss of territory, the situation is even more serious than what you see, Long Ming is indeed a powerful enemy, not only defeated us by force, but also forcibly occupied our people spiritually. ”
"Spiritually?"
"Yes, the reason why so many city defenders have defected or surrendered is because Long Ming has conquered them psychologically. Ren Tianming said.
"How to conquer psychologically, isn't it the force oppression of the magic forbidden spell that makes them afraid. Sonorous Xuan Bing interjected at this time.
"The deterrence of the forbidden spell is one thing, but force alone cannot really bring our people and guards to their knees. Do you know what Long Ming will do after he captures a city?" Ren Tianming said.
"We didn't pay attention, since they were all occupied, they must have been taken for ourselves and implemented the policies of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. "Sonorous Heavenly Fire Road.
"It's not as simple as you think, it's true that the policies of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have been implemented, but what is their policy?"
"I don't know much about the specifics, but I heard that they are preaching and demagoguery. "Sonorous Xuan Bing Dao.
"Yes, missionary work is one aspect, but they don't force people to join the church, it's just propaganda, the people who join the church are voluntary, after they captured the city, they reduced a lot of taxes, and rewarded many hard-working people, and most importantly, they also let the original guards of our city continue to hold important official positions in the city, and trust them very much, which we can't do at all, but Long Ming did. This practice spread to other cities, and the guards of other cities must have surrendered with peace of mind as if they had taken a reassuring pill. If you are the defender of the city, what choice will you make in the face of the enemy's magic forbidden spell deterrence and the preferential treatment policy after surrender?" Ren Tianming said.
"This Long Ming is really cunning. Said the sonorous Tianhuo.
"But our guards are too unethical, and don't they have any loyalty to the Empire?" said Xuan Bing angrily.
"This question has to ask us how we usually treat them, and whether we have such a strong cohesion that can make these guards loyal. Ren Tianming said.
"Father, are we sorry for them all these years, no matter what, they are people from the sonorous empire after all, how can they be so disloyal. "Sonorous Heavenly Fire Road.
"There are people who are loyal to the empire, and there are many of them, but Long Ming will not kill them after he catches them, and he respects them very much, and then uses various methods, whether it is coercion and temptation, or demagoguery, in short, in the end, it still breaks their mental defense and changes them. Ren Tianming said.
"Alas, Father. So let's do it next, we can't sit still. "Sonorous Xuan Bing Dao.
"Now many people have chosen to surrender, in the face of such a powerful enemy, as well as the enemy's preferential treatment policy, it is normal to choose to surrender, we can scold them with the most poisonous words, but we can't stop them from surrendering, so now we can only rely on people who have been loyal to the empire from beginning to end. I have already issued a summoning order to all places, as long as all those who are determined to fight the Heavenly Dragon Army to the end come to the imperial capital, we are ready to fight them for the last time, and let them know that fighting with us will be the greatest price!" Ren Tianming said.
"Father, are you going to make the biggest formation in the imperial capital?"
"Yes, anyone can surrender now, but we will never surrender, we will only have a chance to survive until the last moment. Tianhuo, Xuanbing, I have no children under my knees, if I can defeat the Tianlong Army this time, defend the imperial capital, and drive them away, I will pass the throne to you in the future. Ren Tianming said earnestly.
"Father, it's too early to say this, not to mention that there are still King Beizhen and King Nanling, so there is no need to worry about the throne. The sonorous heavenly fire said in fear.
"Hmph, those two useless things, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, what can they do, if it weren't for the fact that they are royalty, maybe they would have surrendered a long time ago!"
"Father, do you have a chance of using the formation to deal with Long Ming's magic forbidden spell, it is a great magician magic forbidden spell, and the power is extraordinary. "Sonorous Xuan Bing Dao.
"Of course there is a chance of winning, as long as we have withstood Long Ming's magic forbidden spell attack, it is time for us to fight back with all our might, and the power of our Phantom Fighting Qi formation is no worse than his magic forbidden spell!" Ren Tianming was full of confidence.
