Volume 1: Dawn in the Dark Chapter 32: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
As soon as the words came out, the soldiers in the square looked at each other for a moment and whispered.
"Hasn't the duties of our great general always been the same as that of the Bright Kingdom, and the lord himself is in charge?
"Yes, what kind of wind is this from? How can anyone in Sakura Ferry be qualified for the position of general? Could it be that this new general can draw with Guojue?"
"The lord is 69 years old, how many years can he hold on? I guess I can't beat it, and it's good to worship the general! But I don't know who of the three generals can get this general position!"
Ye Qingfeng stood in the crowd, and the first row in the front row were Prime Minister Korra, Sakura Ferry 104 City Divisions, as well as Army General Dior, Navy General Cole, and Flying Dragon Army General Cassidy.
A warm breeze wafted by, with a slight salty smell blowing on Ye Qingfeng's cheeks. As far as the eye can see, on the high platform, Nipar is holding a coiling dragon cane, with a long beard fluttering, standing in front of the main hall, like a heroic stone statue, majestic and towering!
Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng suddenly felt a feeling in his heart at this moment, that is, the kind of bloody battlefield and the idea of not returning.
At this moment, I saw a man dressed as a servant, carrying a square plate, walking out of the crowd and stepping up the steps.
In the middle of the plate was a brocade box, and the servant walked quickly to Niphar's side, fell on one knee, and lowered his head to hold the plate high above his head.
At this moment, Nipar turned back and handed the cane to the attendant behind him, and then raised his hands high, his deep eyes full of sorrow, knelt on one knee, and shouted with his eyes in the air. "Soldiers! King Mayana was killed, the god of war Bonitz was poisoned, and the kingdom was unfortunate! Today, all 12 regions of the Mayana Kingdom have been lost! There are even thirteen thieves in the Holy Land who kill innocents indiscriminately and do whatever they want! The shadow is even more cruel, slaughtering more than 3,000 people in the Holy Land in one night! The country has reached the moment of life and death, Sakura Ferry is a subject country of Mayana, and everyone present is a loyal warrior! Today, I am here to pray to the goddess Mayana and elect a general to lead the Sakura Crossing Army, Army, The Wyvern Army in order to defeat the traitor Moses Gu and recover the lost lands of Mayana!!"
Speaking of this, Nibal got up, turned his eyes to the servant, stretched out his wrinkled hand, opened the box and took out Fang Yu to hold it on his chest, then turned his head to look at the audience, and shouted. "Soldiers, although we are in a corner of the country, with a population of tens of millions, and only a million soldiers, which is much worse than the other two vassal countries. However, the Sakura River is dense, the border is full of mountains, and the ancient army of Moses wants to trample on the Sakura Crossing!
Boom! Boom!
When the words fell, the entire people in the square of the Imperial Palace knelt down in unison for a while. The sound of metal rubbing against the iron armor shook the sky, and the cherry blossom trees and birds flew up in the distance, and the calm water of the pond was shaken out of ripples.
"Ye Qingfeng, out of the ranks!" Nibal's eyes were cold, and his voice was as thick as the Nine Heavens Universe had fallen, and if he judged by the voice, he couldn't tell that he was a 70-year-old man at all.
Unexpectedly, the moment Niphar's words fell, the entire hall square was in an uproar, and all eyes looked around and discussed.
"Ye Qingfeng, who is Ye Qingfeng, what is he doing, I've never heard of this name!"
"Yes, what is Ye Qingfeng? Is this a human name? What is the Guojue talking about?"
"Oh my God! I really didn't expect that the position of general would be given to someone who has never heard of the name at all!
"Look, this kid is, Ye Qingfeng, how did he step onto the high platform, so unreasonable!"
Ye Qingfeng pushed aside the crowd and stepped on the steps, he listened to the discussion of these people, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say a word or two. I'm a newcomer myself, and it's normal for someone to be unaccustomed to it when he suddenly steps into the sky.
From time to time, Ye Qingfeng climbed onto the high platform, covered his left chest with his right hand, and knelt in front of Nibal.
Nipror patted Ye Qingfeng's shoulder with heavy eyes and said loudly. "Today, I ask the goddess Mayana, God bless Sakuradu, and award her saber-toothed tiger mark that has been passed down from generation to generation to the next Sakuradu general, Ye Qingfeng!"
When Ye Qingfeng heard this, he stretched out his hands, and in an instant, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was as heavy as a thousand catties, and unconsciously, the hands holding the saber-toothed tiger print actually trembled.
From time to time, there were voices of dissatisfaction in the crowd again, mixed with anger and anxiety, and by listening to this tone, one could judge the expression of the speaker. "His grandmother's!
"General Wyvern, I know who he is, he is the kid who sent the princess here a few days ago!" The lieutenant general of the Wyvern Army stepped forward and replied.
"I knew I should have cut him with a knife!" The more Cassidy thought about it, the more angry he became, and he worked hard in the Sakura Flying Dragon Army for more than 20 years, with no credit and hard work.
Although there were only a dozen Sakura Crossing Flying Dragons, the Flying Dragon Army did not flourish under his leadership. But the strength with which he hit the target at the fastest speed is unmatched by anyone else, and his meritorious service is also innumerable. But today, the lord of the kingdom actually let a nameless boy be his boss?
The chatter in the crowd never stopped, and the sound became more and more noisy, and the decibels became higher and higher.
"Who is he?"
"Who is he?"
"How can this young man be a general? Isn't that a joke?"
Nibal balanced his tone slightly, ignored the officials in the square, and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ye Qingfengdao. "May you live up to expectations!
As the words fell, Nibal turned and walked back into the hall.
But at this moment, Cassidy pointed to the high platform and yelled. "Ye Qingfeng, get out of here for me! Why are you a general? Just because you hugged the princess's thigh? Or do you serve the princess?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cassidy shouted like this, the generals of the whole hall responded to each other, and they all shouted, and those who were convinced and those who were not convinced were all coaxing, and the square instantly became a pot of porridge.
"Get down! Get down!"
"Stinky boy, why are you a general!
"So young, let you lead the troops, Sakura Ferry won't be wiped out?"
"Down! Down!
Seeing the scene like this, Mora quickly ran to Nipar's side, looked at Ye Qingfeng outside the main hall with a worried face, and asked in a low voice. "Grandpa, should you take care of this, all the generals will not accept it, and if you continue like this, you will lose your majesty......"
Nibal was not in a hurry, the corners of his mouth raised confidently, his footsteps did not stop, and he still walked towards the depths of the main hall, talking as he went. "Morah, my beloved King. Don't worry, if Ye Qingfeng's things can't be settled, it proves that I really looked at the wrong person! Maybe he really doesn't have the heat to be a general! Let's just watch!"
Hearing this, Mera understood that this situation had long been expected by Niphar.
Outside the main hall, the voices were getting louder and louder, and the scolding was getting worse and worse.
"Get down! Get down!"
"Stinky boy, if he becomes a general, I won't be a general!"
......
"Get down, get down, hand over the saber-toothed tiger seal, only lick the princess's waste!"
Ye Qingfeng's psychological quality is not bad, and there is no need to be angry about these people. Then he turned his head and stared silently at the Nebal and Mora in the main hall, knowing that they were waiting to see how they could be convinced.
Before, Ye Qingfeng didn't think about this situation, these people followed Nizar to fight in the south and the north, no matter the merit qualifications, war experience, or combat formation, they were much more skilled than themselves who had never been on the battlefield, and it was understandable that they were not convinced.
After a while, Ye Qingfeng put the saber-toothed tiger seal ribbon back into the box, and after explaining to the servants, he looked at the dense people in the main hall square with cold eyes, and with a wave of his arm, a strong light flashed, and the trident appeared in his hand, and shouted loudly. "Be still!"
Suddenly, the shouting and scolding of the entire hall square immediately stopped, and the birds were silent.
Ye Qingfeng cleared his throat, took a step forward, picked up the speaker that Nibal had put down, and said loudly. "My name is Ye Qingfeng, and you must have heard that Moses was the one I participated in killing, and until now, I am still the person wanted by all Mayana. Today, the lord of the country named me a general, since you are not convinced, then any of you come up and cut me down with a knife, if I don't have eyes, I won't be surnamed Ye!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the audience looked at each other, but they didn't know why they didn't make a sound, and the atmosphere was silent for three minutes.
Ye Qingfeng saw that no one answered below, so he snorted coldly and spoke again. "You are very powerful when you shout, let you come up and cut you but don't dare, then don't coax, what kind of ability is scolding?"
Cassidy was ashamed of these two sentences, his face was blue for a while and white for a while, and he also knew that Ye Qingfeng was talking about him, but for the sake of face, he didn't do anything, so he stepped forward and shouted. "Ye Qingfeng, don't talk that nonsense, hand over the saber-toothed tiger seal ribbon! I just don't obey you! If you don't hand over the seal ribbon, the Flying Dragon Army won't listen to your orders!"
Unexpectedly, the general of the Wyvern Army behind Cassidy, as soon as the general said this, he followed up and went crazy.
"yes. We are not convinced! We are not convinced! We are not convinced!"
However, at this time, no one from the other teams spoke again, and the sound was much quieter than just now.
Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng also had a lot more confidence in his heart, and felt that what he just said had worked. Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he locked onto Cassidy and sneered. "If you don't listen to my orders, then whose orders do you want to listen to?
Cassidy had already torn his face, and even if he was silent now, it was estimated that he would not have a good life, so he was resolute and waved his hand to conjure up a spear. "I listen to the king! Except for the king, in this cherry blossom crossing, I really don't know who can be better than me!"
Hum!
Ye Qingfeng could see that Cassidy was a little difficult to ride a tiger, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he took a few steps down, staring at Cassidy's angry eyes, and said with a slight smile. "This warrior, what do you mean, if I don't become a general, can you be?"
"Of course!" Cassidy was confident.
"Okay! I wonder what position the general holds now?" Ye Qingfeng's eyes were full of contempt, and when he said a few words, he was not so embarrassed to stand in this position.
Cassidy walked out of the crowd and stared at Ye Qingfeng angrily and said viciously. "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and now I am the general of the Sakura Crossing Flying Dragon Army!
Ye Qingfeng knew that there were not many flying dragons in Sakuradu, but the target was the strongest force, the so-called general, and there were only more than 1,000 people in the Sakuradu Flying Dragon Army plus ground crew. Then the corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled. "Do you think you're very powerful? It's just a person who rides a flying dragon to fight, Mingyue, show him!"
"OK! Breeze!" As the words fell, a ray of white light rose into the sky, and Liu Mingyue waved her four wings into the air, and a second later, like a huge snow eagle, hovering back and forth over the square.
Then, Ye Qingfeng's gaze locked on Cassidy and sneered. "I haven't bothered you yet, you don't want to be with me here? See, my woman can fly, you just ride a dragon to fight, should you also give up the position of general of the Flying Dragon Army?"
"You ......" Unexpectedly, Cassidy, who had just been arrogant and domineering, was speechless by Ye Qingfeng's words, and couldn't say a word.
Heh! In the main hall, Nipar couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
Ye Qingfeng struck while the iron was hot, took a deep breath, and said again. "Do you think you're very good at fighting? Now, you fight with me, I don't use water, see why you can be so crazy!"
"Hmph! You brought it on yourself!Come on!" The words fell, Cassidy danced his spear and walked straight towards Ye Qingfeng!
"I'll let you not have long eyes! I'll let you see, what is it called killing chickens to monkeys!" Ye Qingfeng gathered all his strength, ran to the edge of the steps and jumped up, and the trident was raised high above his head......
Ye Qingfeng could feel that this Cassidy could indeed fight, but he had to win, otherwise it would be difficult to stand up later. There is a saying on the earth that a new official takes office with three fires, and if he does not burn others to clothes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out the work.
Clang!
The moment the spear and the trident collided, a huge sound hit the entire square, and everyone covered their ears in pain and unconsciously took a few steps back.
The breeze passed, and the two shadows on the ground scuffled violently together, accompanied by a crisp metallic sound, sparks were intermittent, Ye Qingfeng and Cassidy came and went, and they refused to admit defeat to each other.
"Lie down! This Ye Qingfeng can actually tie with Cassidy, how can he practice martial arts at such a young age?"
"Oh my God, am I mistaken, the veins on General Cassidy's forehead are popping out!"
"It seems that hey, Cassidy has a bit of an upper hand, are the two of them acting?
The generals present didn't want to believe that Ye Qingfeng, who was holding a trident, could beat Cassidy, and it stands to reason that in terms of physique, experience and even fame, Ye Qingfeng has no chance of winning at all.
"Lie down!
But at this moment, a bigger move directly shocked all the generals. I saw Ye Qingfeng jumping up four or five meters high, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were filled with indelible perseverance, and he raised his trident with both hands, and headed towards Cassidy.
