Skyroad Chapter 372: Tree people
The commander of the imperial army, Qian Bai suddenly pulled out the long sword halfway, his eyes were cold: "Duke Xingchu, don't just go it alone, I am afraid that you will not succeed in Bailu City by the 700,000 imperial army?"
Lin Xingchu sneered: "Qianshuai, you are just a palace commander. Emperor Xia once said that warlords should not be good at discussing government affairs. What kind of green onion do you dare to tell me your own way?"
In terms of status, the two Grand Duke Xingchu and Duke Tianmu were the pillars of the Xia Empire, and the four great hall commanders were simply minions, and their status was indeed far from comparable.
"Duke Xingchu, don't have to be angry."
At this moment, an old voice came from an old man holding a cane. Although he was old, he was still wearing a uniform with a line of words on his head——
[Tianmu Gong·Xiyang] (BOSS-level NPC)
Level:? ? ?
Introduction: Xiyang, Lord of Tianfeng City, Patriarch of Xi Family in the South, Dominating Ten Thousand Miles of Territory, One of the Two Pillars of the Xia Empire
……
Xiyang’s gaze was lame, and he smiled: "The eldest prince is loyal and benevolent, and the little prince is young. It is also the rule of the Xia clan to set up the eldest son. There is nothing to argue about, but it is a matter of regency. Although the king is arrogant, it is also for the sake of the prosperity of the Xia family. According to the old man's humble opinion, the regent can continue to reign, but only the consul general, all war and military affairs, should be decided by Xing Chu Gong and the four chief commanders. ."
Lin Xingchu frowned.
Feng Yu chuckled softly in my ear: "Tian Mu Gong, an old fox, doesn't have much ability, and his skill at stirring muddy water is first-rate."
I was surprised, lowered my voice and asked: "Why is Tianmu Gong not capable?"
"Huh."
The corner of Feng Yu’s mouth was faintly disdainful, and said: "The southern Xijia has ruled Tianfeng City for thousands of years, and it is deeply rooted. And Tianmu Gong is only relying on the blessings of the ancestors and his own scheming, so he reluctantly She stood up amidst the troubled times, and was called the pillar with Lin Xingchu, but Lin Xingchu was different. She followed her father Lin Shuai in the army at the age of seventeen. She fought for more than ten years, put down the eastern rebellion, and repelled the northern savage tribe several times. , The prestige in the imperial army, Xing Chu Gong do her part, if it were not for fear that her prestige is too high, I am afraid that after the death of Emperor Xia, the South would have turned back."
I took a deep breath: "I didn't expect...There are so many undercurrents."
"A lot~~~"
……
Lin Xingchu's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she had already planned to make a concession, and said: "In this case, please let your Majesty take the throne first!"
"Your Majesty, please come to the throne!"
A group of officials knelt down.
I stood behind Mingyue Pond, a group of people in the Dragon Region seemed to stand out from the crowd, none of them knelt down, but looked at the new Emperor Xia indifferently as he became the emperor.
Luo Shuai's voice was old, and he began to read the edict, thanking heaven and earth and so on. Even if the ceremony was completed, the officials knelt down again, and Shanhu Long live.
"Emperor Xia ascended to the throne, you can tell me what you can do." A guard said loudly.
Lin Xingchu immediately got up and said: "Your Majesty, although the imperial capital Xingqi City is the top priority, the 700,000 troops of the Forbidden Army to defend the imperial capital is too wasteful. Now the war in the north is tight, the Purgatory Legion, the Savage Army, and the Abyss Legion. They are always coveted, so... Your Majesty asked your Majesty to separate 400,000 forbidden troops and dispatch them to the northern border. There are 300,000 forbidden troops to defend the imperial capital, which is enough!"
"Xing Chu Gong!"
The commander-in-chief Qianbaijian frowned: "Your Majesty has just taken the throne, you want to weaken the military power that your Majesty personally controls. What is your intention?"
Lin Xingchu smiled: "For me, the most important thing for the Xia is to fight the Northern Purgatory Legion. This is the top priority. Compared to the guarding of the imperial capital, once the northern defense line is breached, then the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. The legion is strong, does Qianshuai want to make Bailucheng an isolated city to resist powerful enemies?"
Qianbai turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, please decide!"
Xiahuang Luhui frowned: "What Xingchugong said is reasonable. If the north is breached, my Xia clan will face the disaster of destruction. According to Xingchugong's words, half of the forbidden army's strength will be transferred to Xingchu. Commanded by Lord Chu, resist the army of the dead in the north!"
"It's... Your Majesty..."
Qianbai's heart is dripping blood.
Lin Xingchu continued: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of supplies in the north. This year is another cold winter. Many winter crops have not been harvested, but the weather in the south is smooth, so the minister requested..."
"Xing Chu Gong."
Tian Mugong squinted his eyes and smiled: "I don’t plan to let Tianfeng City send troops to the north to fight against the Purgatory Corps? My soldiers in the south are used to the mist and rain. Once they go to the bitter and cold places in the north, they will be uncomfortable and sick. Congsheng, by then, has become a drag on Xingchugong."
Lin Xingchu laughed: "The Duke is too worried. I don't want the soldiers of the Xi family. I only ask the Xi family to allocate 500,000 stones, grains and grass to Bailu City every year. Besides, it would be better to allocate tens of millions of gold. ."
"Tian Mu Gong, strategist, important event."
Xia Huang Lu Hui nodded: "Follow it."
Xiyang gritted his teeth and nodded: "The old minister obeys his orders."
Lin Xingchu continued: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Everything needs to be started from the beginning. Your Majesty’s thoroughness is also extremely important. The minister has trained a team of Yulin Guards over the years, five thousand people, skilled bows and horses, and each armour Scholars are enough to serve as ten. The ministers are willing to give Habayashi to his majesty as a gift for his enthronement. Your majesty can arrange for Habayashi to be the commander, deputy commander and other positions by himself, and the minister will never interfere."
Emperor Xia is overjoyed: "Okay, I just need a strong army to serve as the guardian of the imperial city."
"Yes!"
……
Mingyuechi looked at me faintly, and laughed in a low voice: "Enthronement ceremony, is it fun?"
"Not fun at all."
I said angrily: "Duke Xing Chu is so strong, it feels like her battlefield alone."
"Yes."
Mingyuechi pursed her red lips and said: "Faced with such a mess, Lord Xingchu can only cut the mess with a knife. If there is no such courage, I am afraid it will really be messed up."
"Hmm."
I glanced at the civil and military officials in the dynasty, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Compared with the intrigues here, I like Longyu more. I stand firm and speak with strength."
Mingyuechi smiled: "Okay, the major event of the imperial capital has been decided, let's return to the Dragon Region."
"Hmm!"
……
Shortly after returning to the Dragon Realm, before Mingyuechi could sit down at his desk, a dragon knight carrying a spear broke into the command hall, looking in a hurry, and said, "Master Yuechi, it’s not good. Up!"
"What's the matter?"
"Sentinel has just discovered an army of treants, moving towards Dragon City. The number is about 100,000 or more. Many treants are already over 20 meters tall and can ride directly on our city wall!"
"Tree people?"
Mingyuechi frowned and said: "Didn't the tree people have been hiding in the lush woods of the Lost Plain? Why did they suddenly come to our Dragon City."
"Subordinates don’t know."
"Let the order go on and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Mingyuechi raised the Dragon Slashing Sword on the side, took a look at me, and said, "It's going to fight again. Come with me to fight the tree people?"
"Hmm!"
I nodded, and the next mission has already arrived, and it is actually still a main mission——
"Ding!"
System reminder: You have accepted the task [Repulse the Tree Terrans] (S-level★)!
Task content: Assist the Dragon Territory to defeat the offensive of the tree people. After completing the task, you will receive very rich rewards, but once you fail, you will suffer double punishment!
Damn, there is this kind of truth, the failure of the mission should be punished?
But after thinking about it, once it fails, the Treant tribe will conquer the Dragon Realm. This is the greatest punishment.
Summoned the cold iron horse, followed the Mingyue Pond to the outside of the Dragon City Hall, I saw that the road outside was full of dust, and countless dragons flocked to the Dragon City wall in the north, and the Mingyue Pond was full of dust. Leap landed on the dragon's back of the Saint White Dragon, and rushed to the north with wind whispers and spirit feathers. As a ground knight, I could only spur the cold iron horse to chase it all the way from the ground.
While rushing, I found a white horse and an acquaintance who was riding the white horse, Shen Qiubai, he was there.
Shen Qiubai also saw me, and immediately snorted: "You also took this task?"
"Yes."
I smiled slightly: "Shall we...fight together?"
Shen Qiubai's mouth twitched, then turned his head and rushed towards the farther city wall, unwilling to guard the same site with me. Fortunately, I would feel a bit annoying when I saw him.
……
The cold iron horse rushed up the city wall all the way, raised its front hoof and led me to stand up. This is another signature action. The setting sun mirrors our figure on the city wall, which is extremely mighty, and when I open my eyes and look north , I couldn’t help being taken aback. The northern part of the country used to be a vast expanse of snow, but today it’s different. It’s actually shrouded in greenery. It’s just that the trees move slowly, and their appearance is no different from that of a big tree. It’s just a comparison. It's just a bare pole, his legs move slowly, his head has a pair of eyes, and he looks straight at the Dragon Realm Warriors on the city wall.
In front of me, it was like a whole forest moving, a sea of trees, scary!
"Whh~~~"
Mingyuechi drove the holy white dragon and rushed down the city wall like a white horse~IndoMTL.com~ Overlooking a group of tree people, the sweet voice echoed in the air: "Tree people, what's the point of coming to my Dragonland? Purpose?!"
In the sea of tree people, a tree man described as quite old raised his head, looked at the moon pool in the sky, and said: "The earth...has been corroded by death, and the tree people are at stake. This place is a treasure. The tree people should be there. Rest and rejuvenate here."
"You are here to recuperate?"
Mingyuechi raised her eyebrows: "Then what about our Dragon Domain?"
"Return to the south and return to where the human race should be." Elder Treeman's words were a bit unreasonable.
Mingyuechi smiled indifferently: "I heard you say that, the tree people want to attack the Dragon Realm?"
"Yes."
As soon as the voice fell, a sturdy young treeman suddenly danced his branches' arms and threw a stalagmite with a radius of at least two meters into the Mingyue Pool in the sky.
"Swipe!"
The sound of breaking the wind is very sharp, and it turns out that the person who came is not good.
