Chapter Forty-Eight: Heading South

After Lin Nian returned to the palace, he met with Kahler, but no one knew what the two of them talked about at the beginning, and when the old marshal Serka arrived, the two young men at the peak of the Kotler Empire's power were already waiting for him silently.

After Serka arrived, Kate, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jesse, the head of the Black Moon Legion, and Ral, the deputy head of the Legion, also arrived, and then everyone had a secret conversation in the study all night, but no one knew what the content was, but the next move was beyond everyone's expectations.

First of all, the old marshal Seka directly stepped down from the position of marshal, and this position was directly taken over by His Royal Highness Lin Nian, the regent of the Kahler Empire, so this time, the regent who was already powerful can be said to have won the two most powerful positions in an empire: political power and military power, if Lin Nian has the heart of rebellion, the thousand-year-old imperial Kotler will inevitably change the dynasty, but this decision is not opposed by any minister, to put it mildly, except for a few courtiers who are old ministers, the rest of the people are almost all selected from the battle-hardened Crescent Legion, these people are all fought with Lin Nian all the way, Seeing that their former chiefs had such a high status, of course these people also felt that their faces were shining and that they had nothing to do with the interior, but there were many representatives of different races outside who expressed their dissatisfaction with this.

However, this is the decision of the internal regime of the Kotler Empire, in the final analysis, it is just a family matter, and they have no reason to interfere too much, but the commander of the coalition army is still Marshal Seka, and under the coalition army, even Lin Nian has to listen to the words of the commander-in-chief, so as to block the mouth of the representatives of the clans, and it can only show the wrist of the young emperor of the Kotler Empire.

However, from the object of everyone's suspicion, the sudden reversal of the person who returned to the pinnacle of power is somewhat unexpected, and the so-called trial of Lin Nian will not be over, and the next thing to discuss is how to use this year's time to fight a decisive battle with the army of demons.

In fact, you can feel it without Lin Nian's investigation, the coalition army does not have much hope for this year's cultivation at all, they think that this year's time is more like the time of the demons, the years of war have caused the resources of the entire continent to be consumed very seriously, in terms of military strength alone, the countries can now shoot very few legions, first the mainland is in chaos, and then the demon invasion is pressing step by step, the powerful orc empire, the territory is vast, and the result is almost wiped out by the demons, and now the beast emperor with the remnants of the orcs in the trench gun for the final resistance, it can be said that the orcs have become an important force in the orc forest to prevent the demons from advancing southward, Even the existence of the moat wall is regarded as prescient, as for the other races, it is not counted, just the three empires of the human race, basically half a catty to eight taels, no one is good to go there, a year's time, let alone people, even the food may not be able to afford the coalition army, fighting a war is to burn money, whoever has more money, the greater the chance of winning, whether the demons of the Hongdao Mountains are also fighting this idea is hard to say, but a year is enough for the demons to gain a firm foothold on the mainland, a year later, the war is likely to go very quickly。

"What did you say?"

The obvious expression on Caller's face confirmed how amazing the news he heard was, and across from him, Lin Nian was tidying up, while his two wives were helping to clean up, of course, the faces of both of them were not very good-looking, but the movements of their hands were very crisp, "I'm a little curious, how did you convince you...... family's. Calle raised his fingers, then asked with a headache on his head.

Lin Nian turned around, so that the black belt was just wrapped around, and he didn't know how he did it, the belt without an iron buckle was so completely bound to his waist, hearing his best friend's words, Lin Nian smiled and didn't speak, and when the equipment was completely put on, Lin Nian said: "Actually, it's very simple, they know that they can't stop me, so they can only let me go." ”

"It feels like you're not even you. Kahler said with some worry, Lin Nian's trip is to go south, the target is the Hongdao Mountain Range where the demon clan is now entrenched, Lin Nian's cultivation is needless to say, but the danger Kahler can think about, as soon as he recovers from serious injuries, Lin Nian is going to meet the demon clan for a while, and escaping for his life has always been his forte, but Caller is worried that Lin Nian will never return, and now the whole country is looking at Lin Nian, at this time Lin Nian is gone, how to continue to manage the huge empire?

"Look at your expression, what you know is worry, what you don't know, I think I'm already strong, don't worry, it's just the past, you know, we also have some acquaintances over there." "Lin Nian's acquaintance Kahler knows, but after all, he is the commander of the demon clan, if Lin Nian really wants to find him, I'm afraid he really won't be able to come back.

After cleaning up, Caleb couldn't help but be stunned, the black cloak was full of holes, his clothes and pants were covered with dust, and the weapons on his body didn't look like a high-quality product, Lin Nian didn't wear a mask, if he did, how could this mercenary warrior, the dignified regent of the Kotler Empire, dress up like this?

"You think it's going to be oily and slippery, man, I'm going to go shopping, but of course it's better to be low-key when you kill someone and set it on fire. Hearing Lin Nian's words, the corners of the mouths and eyes of the other three people present twitched obviously, the main master in front of him never knew what it meant to be low-key, thinking of this, the three of them began to worry about the demon army in the Hongdao Mountain Range.

Now that the preparations are complete, Lin Nian is naturally going to leave, but how he got out, no one knows, even Calle doesn't know when Lin Nian left, as for the others, they don't know, but after Lin Nian left, the army of the Kotler Empire moved more frequently, and countless high-level legions were replaced, and the speed of this replacement process was jaw-dropping, and the replacement of the legion commander quickly calmed down the situation, the most strange thing was naturally those who were suddenly replaced, none of them went to the military headquarters to complain, and all of them accepted other appointments safely, but subsequently, these corps commanders disappeared without a trace after entering the gate of the military headquarters.

Five days later.

In a small col forty miles north of the Hongdao Mountains, a pair of rolling eyes were alert to the surrounding movements in the dense weeds, and there was some expectation and anxiety in the eyes, but in the bushes, the owner of this eye was not silent at all, and there were actually two hares on his body that were jumping back and forth on him unconsciously, as if the bodies under their feet were just simple bushes, and time passed little by little, but the person lying on the ground had always maintained a state of rest, until the double moon rose in the east and west, and there was a rustling sound behind him。

"It's weird. The person lying on the ground muttered quietly, but the person behind him did not move, the wind sounded in the air, and the person on the ground finally noticed a trace of abnormality, and his hand was slightly forced, and then his head turned slightly, but he found that what caught his eye was actually a ghost mask!

"Temple...... My lord, when did you come in?" After seeing the person who came, the person on the ground immediately got up, shook off the weeds and dust on his body, and after tidying up his clothes, he saluted the person who came in a proper manner, it was none other than Lin Nian, who was lying on the ground.

"Oh, I've been here for a while, see no. Lin Nian raised his chin slightly, the man turned his head and saw a sudden fire about ten miles away, and waited for a moment before the voice floated along the wind, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and the sturdy man stammered: "My lord, we have been watching the ...... for two days."

"Oh, when I was shot, I put two oil bombs in my hand, I guess the people chasing me shouldn't come, there is no need to be vigilant here, let's go study the next target. After saying that, Lin Nian turned around and left, the sturdy man opened his mouth, turned around and frowned to look at the sky-high firelight, and followed Lin Nian directly into the mountain col.

After walking a short distance, he came to a big tree surrounded by four people, looked around, and the man in fine clothes walked directly towards the trunk of the tree, and then the whole person disappeared.

Behind the trunk of the tree is a different world.

More than a dozen people with good cultivation gathered around Lin Nian, on a big stone was a broken map that had not been completely filled, Lin Nian drew two small circles with a pen on it and said: "Since the first one has been completed, then next, we have to find the next target, you are all masters, there is naturally no problem with self-preservation, how does it feel to go from the commander of the legion to the end?"

These people in front of Lin Nian were the army commanders who disappeared out of thin air, but now they no longer held their original positions, but followed Lin Nian to the Hongdao Mountain Range, after entering the military headquarters, these people used some of their own methods to get rid of the possible surveillance in the holy capital and came to the agreed place that Lin Nian requested, which was this small mountain col that had been surrounded by Lin Nian with a formation.

This col is not conspicuous, and it can be seen at a glance from the outside, but because of some shrubs and forests, it is somewhat hidden, but if it is really hidden, there is a better small canyon ten miles to the east, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Lin Nian did not choose there, according to his explanation, since he knows that it is hidden, the enemy can also think of it.

A safe place does not mean absolute safety, and on the side of this col there is a small cave, which is not very deep, more than ten meters away, with a small mouth and a big belly, and there is no problem at all with more than ten people together, coupled with careful arrangement, as long as it is not forcibly destroyed, it is generally impossible to find here, but there is nothing here except people, and the map was taken back by Lin Nian from the demon camp of the Hongdao Mountain Range on the opposite side on the day of the gathering.

As for these people, they have all become Lin Nian's soldiers now, and they have willingly become a small soldier after giving up the position of the regiment commander, and there is no one who is unwilling, in fact, these regiment commanders are all named by Lin Nian personally, intelligence, assassination, reconnaissance, and attacking...... The legions led by these regiment commanders basically included all the combat preparations, and there was only one person for each item, but it was enough to give the opposite demon clan a headache.

And what Lin Nian wants is to make Lin Lengxue uncomfortable.
