Xiaoyun, this time in the battle on the southern front, you brought us too many accidents and shocks The Asman people tossed in their stomachs, dragged tens of thousands of people to exhaustion, and successfully escaped back. During the Battle of Sidon, you swooped down on the enemy headquarters and severely wounded Brooke, causing hundreds of thousands of Assman's army to retreat in panic. I have to say, your performance is impressive!" George lay on the bed, looked at Liuyun who was sitting not far away with Shi Yan, and smiled kindly. The day after Liuyun returned to Didu, he was summoned into the palace.

"Your Majesty, you've won the prize. In fact, in Assman, what my subordinates and I want to do most every day is to return to China. But the Assmans were so enthusiastic that they wanted to keep us and force us to jump up and down within their borders. It is said that it is thousands of miles away, but in fact, it is just a section of the road to the end of the world

Liuyun briefly told the Emperor about his experiences in Saipu Town and the territory of Assman, and the Emperor sighed to hear it.

"When the country is in trouble, we can see the character of a man! These heroes who died in battle, the empire will not forget them. When the fighting subsides, I will give them the credit they deserve, and I will not let them die silently. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Liuyun was overjoyed when he heard this, because he had some plans in his heart, which he was ready to implement after the war, and with the emperor's statement, everything would be easy.

"The Assman still hides such a wolf army! If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have known that the Assman still has such a force. Fortunately, they were defeated by your land in the end. George sighed softly.

"It's actually quite a strong force. I was able to get away with them, but I made clever use of the terrain and their light enemies. If it is a frontal battlefield, it is really difficult to predict the outcome or defeat. Each of their soldiers is like a mobile tool of killing. Liuyun Shen said solemnly.

"The Sith Kingdom is terrifyingly quiet, and there are abnormal situations in the country, so I don't think it will be silent forever. The mainland will not calm down anytime soon. Xiaoyun, you are now famous, and the power in your hands is also exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and you have also become the focus of attention of all countries. Be careful in the future!"

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Xiaoyun will be cautious. In the territory of Assman, I was almost defeated by a woman, and there are really many strong people hidden in the shadows on this continent. The same concern as Emperor George's elders made Liuyun's heart warm.

"However, Count Liuyun, you have merit, but you have also had it. I'm going to ask you a few things now, and you must answer me truthfully!" Emperor George's tone suddenly became serious, and even his title changed.

"Why does this emperor say that if he changes his face, he will change his face?" Liuyun's heart tightened. Hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, please ask, the minister must report truthfully." ”

"In the battle of Saipu Town, you gave up your responsibility to defend the territory and led your troops to break through, for what?"

"The strategic significance of the town of Saipu has been lost, and the hard work is just a sacrifice in vain, I am for the survival of most of the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment. As long as it does not detract from the tide of battle. As a commander. I must do my utmost to ensure the safety of the lives of officers and men. Sticking to a useless town wasn't an option I should have. I am willing to bear the charge of retreating without authorization, and it is my principle that I will not evade retreat. ”

"Good. Let me ask you again, in the first battle of Sidon City, you did not consult the commander of the southern front, acted alone, and instigated a division commander to disobey on the battlefield. At the same time, he borrowed troops from Roland Fortress without permission. What is the earth? Have you ever thought about it. What are the consequences of failure?"

"It's just because hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Sidon are waiting for the rescue of the emperor in despair. If you lose the first battle, you will die. But at least. The invaders had to step over my corpse to hurt the people behind me. It is also my principle not to be greedy for merit, and I will not be stupid enough to gamble my life on that bit of military merit. ”

"Haha, you kid is kind, but your answer makes me very satisfied, and I also want to thank you for saving the face of the empire. Don't be greedy for merit, don't avoid retreating, and have the demeanor of a famous general. Then I will fulfill you! I have appointed you to form the 'Fire Cloud Iron Army' Duli Legion, and appoint you as the commander of the corps, and you can report to the Ministry of Military Affairs after you decide on the establishment, troop strength, and appointment of officers!" George listened to Liuyun's answer and smiled happily.

"Father, I have already reported to you the matter of Brother Liuyun, why do you still want to ask this? Look at him so anxious that he is sweating!" Shi Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw Liuyun's nervous appearance.

"Shi Yan, I just want to see if Xiao Yun has the courage to tell the truth in front of me! I and your Uncle Yan Tian are both old, and after Huoyun has experienced the baptism of this war, everything will be * you young people. I have to guarantee that there is someone next to you who dares to beat you!"

"This is the legendary Eight Emperors of the Earth?" Liuyun stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and said secretly in his heart, "It's a good hand to be gracious, this slap is not heavy, but the sugar is quite large, and it has been promoted to three levels in a row!

"Xiaoyun, you have to remember that since the power has been exposed, there are two things that must be done. One is to make yourself stronger, and the other is to re-cultivate a secret force. I have discussed with your father that the army of the Empire will not be able to have a few more people in the future, but will be supported by a large number of excellent officers, so when your footsteps are firm, I will continue to select the young officers you have trained from the Duli Legion to enrich other troops. You have to work hard!" George continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liuyun nodded in response.

"At present, in the north of the empire, Marshal Yantian and your eldest brother Mu Feng have built two lines of defense, you have to complete the task of forming the Duli Legion as soon as possible, and you may have to use the power in your hands at any time. ”

"Your Majesty, I have too few men, and it may be difficult to make up for them in a hurry. If only new recruits are replenished, not only will it be useless, but it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. ”

"Let's put up the shelves first, and then replenish the troops after the battle, and conduct training! The three thousand crossbow cavalry in your boy's hands are enough for 30,000 people. By the way, can that kind of crossbow be mass-produced to equip troops?"

"I'm afraid not, the main problem is casting. I'll tell people to do their best to make some of them, and hopefully in time. Liuyun shook his head.

"How many people are needed. I'll give it to you. George said.

"Then please send me a few hundred more

Forge, these crossbows are from their own craft, and humans can't get them

“...... I doubt what you're going to do, kid. Jing Ling appeared, the dwarf appeared, will you make the head dragon come out again?" George looked at Liuyun with a strange gaze.

"I think he might have the ability. Shi Yan also smiled bitterly, "National treasure, national treasure!"

Liuyun glanced at Shi Yan hatefully. And the old god said to him, "Dragon, maybe there will be." ”

"Father, why don't you ask Brother Liuyun's opinion about the marriage?"

"Shi Yan, do you think that marriage is really a good thing for Xiaoyun? You are wrong, this is just someone trying to destroy his relationship with Hua Feixian and make him lose a strong arm. This shows that there is already a force in the DPRK and China. Noticed him. I did this just to protect him, and he had to endure this sacrifice. ”

"Then what do I need to do to help him?" Shi Yan hurriedly asked when he heard that someone was going to deal with Liuyun.

"Over the years, has the DPRK secretly fought against your Uncle Yan Tian? But his official position is getting bigger and bigger? I have never openly supported him, but I have always believed in him in my heart, and that is enough. You don't need to help him. You just need to get the balance right. Political struggle. For a person to really grow, there are constraints that make people awake and not arrogant, which is a good thing for you and for him. When you are old with mud and doing peace, keep your mind clear, and occasionally make a little move. They don't want to spend tears to support him financially, won't you secretly help him? The Roman family has a lot of money, but the royal family doesn't have a lot of money, right? haha. George smiled. There was a sparkle of wisdom in his eyes.

This simple conversation took place in the palace. In fact, it is the completion of the transfer of power between the old and new generations. From this day on. Liuyun officially entered the center of power in the empire, and the "Fire Cloud Iron Army" also established a special position in the army. And the empire entered a period of metabolism.

Princess Naya leaned on a garden bench, looking a little distracted. The continuous war seemed to have exhausted her mental strength, and the victory brought not joy, but endless bitterness. And this bitterness was brought to her by her former fiancé. She still remembers how she pitied and sympathized with him when Ri Liuyun divorced, but she didn't expect him to rise quickly on the war stage as if he had changed as a different person. Nalan's light is just a new star, but his light is like a sky.

Although after the divorce, everything about him has nothing to do with her, but the relationship that used to make her heart difficult to let go.

"Sister, do you have something on your mind?" Shi Yan came to Nayadi's side, looked at her sister, who had always been strong, and looked delicate, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Brother, I'm just thinking, why, I will be wrong again and again? Why, I will do so many things wrong? The same war, in his hands, almost perfect, in my hands, but in my hands, the people paid a terrible price. Naya asked softly, looking up.

"Sister, you don't have to blame yourself. Liuyun and us are fundamentally two kinds of people. He is a very pure soldier, he only thinks about the country and the people, and we think more about the interests of the royal family and the nobility. Shi Yan sat next to Naya, gently hugged Naya's shoulders, and said softly.

"Yes, for the sake of Sidon City, he dared to face hundreds of thousands of enemies with 10,000 men. And I, for a victory, lost the lives of tens of thousands of people. Naya sighed.

"Sister, we are from the royal family and have an innate sense of superiority, but this does not mean that we can look down on all beings. If it weren't for the fact that he traveled abroad, experienced a chase and escape, and even almost lost his life, and was finally rescued by Liuyun and his Black Eagle Guards, I wouldn't know him. His father has authorized him to form the 'Fire Cloud Iron Army' Duli Legion, and after this incident, you will be able to get to know him more if you contact him more. I believe that the misunderstanding between you will slowly disappear. ”

"Black Hawk?" Naya muttered. "Brother, what does this Black Eagle have to do with the Black Hawk Mercenary Group?"

"You should have told you a long time ago. Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "But you have always looked at him unpleasantly, so I want to tell you later, and it will be delayed until now." Black Eagle is the Black Eagle mercenary group that appeared in Cold City, and Liuyun is the War Eagle. ”

Naya stared at Shi Yan blankly, speechless for a long time. "He's the war eagle, the one who saved me, is he?"

"Are you alright? My brother should have told you about this earlier, and there will be no more misunderstandings between you and him later!"

"You're all lying to me! He saved me, but I hurt him, and Naya became a femme fatale!" Naya laughed miserably, "No wonder he came back alive, no wonder they can work miracles again and again! And that bastard, he's been watching me laugh!"

Naya, who was misty with tears in her eyes, finally understood Ah Lei's words, understood Hua Fei's hostility to her, understood the refusal of the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment to her incorporation, and understood why Liuyun had always been cold to her.

In the memory, the words of the war eagle when he left after the battle of the cold city echoed again, and deeply pierced Naya's heart.

"No, princess. You and I meet in the road, but you have your way, I have my direction, and we will eventually forget each other in the years. ”

"Liuyun, are you taking revenge on Naya for proposing to withdraw from the marriage?" Naya's heart was at a loss.

"Sister, why don't you go and help him form the Duli Legion and take this opportunity to do more?" Shi Yan noticed the abnormality of Naya's expression and hurriedly persuaded.

"No, I don't!" Naya cried, flatly.

On November 25, 7531 in the imperial calendar, Princess Naya resigned as the commander of the battlefield on the southern front and was ordered to form the "Fire Phoenix" Duli Legion, which was stationed adjacent to the "Iron Army" station.

Second, Naya left Didu and rushed to Corinth, a city by the sea in the province of Yanyunxing.
