Chapter 802: Zhennan General
After a while, with the sound of war drums stirring in the palace, Emperor Locke slowly stood up from the throne, and said in a loud voice: "All generals of Tianling City, all adventurers from other worlds, thanks to your desperate efforts! In the first battle, our Tianling City finally beheaded the two demons Serin and Kyle, repelling their attack on Tianling City, and today's banquet, please do not return home drunk."
A group of players were waiting for the reward, while a group of civil and military ministers congratulated the king one after another, flattering each other, wishing to immediately lift the old king to the sky, so that he could bestow himself a marquis or even a grand duke when he was happy.
...
There was still a gauze bandage on Theodore's arm, and a trace of blood was soaked on it. This was an injury from the battle with the blood giant Kyle. He looked up at the emperor and said, "Father, these adventurers are waiting for you!" What about your reward?"
Emperor Locke nodded and said, "Heroes, please come forward and accept the rewards one by one."
Lin Xiaowu, Jian Jiandan, Wen Jian and others stepped forward one after another. The rewards given by the system are divided into two types, one is to promote the position in the army, and the other is to obtain rewards for equipment, level, and charm points. As a result, Lin Xiaowu, Jian Jiandan, Dong Chengyue, Lin Wan'er, Wen Jian and others all received the results of experience points and equipment. After a few seconds, the results came out. Lin Wan'er got a sub-artifact cloak, and Dong Cheng Yue took He got a ghost weapon magic boots, and Lin Xiaowu's luck was better, and he actually got a sub-sacred weapon longbow, which made his attack power even more incredible.
After Wen Jian and Ye Lai received their rewards, they turned around one after another and bid farewell.
"So, what about you?" Emperor Locke looked at Fang Geque.
Fang Geque said: "I would like to gain military merit."
Emperor Locke said: "You are the general under my son Theodore, let him reward you."
Theodore stood up holding the hilt of his sword, and said: "Boy, you are brave in battle. Now, my highness has promoted you to be the captain of Xiaoqi of the Yanlong Legion, to receive the salary of the commander, to be included in the second battle order, and to serve as the third battalion of the Long Spear Battalion. Control, how."
Fang Geque smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
After getting the military post, Fang Geque turned around and left, obviously he had no interest in other things, while Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue were still waiting for me to receive the reward.
A flower gun, a pot of wine, and an iron gun, standing there alone. He is the only player in the Longxiang guild who broke into the top 20 merit list. , said: "This hero from another world, what kind of reward do you want to get?"
Huaqiang and a pot of wine said in a deep voice: "I would like to obtain a higher status in the army."
After looking at it, Emperor Locke said, "You have made a lot of contributions in this battle. If that's the case... there is an extremely difficult task. I don't know if you have the courage to complete it."
With a pot of wine and a flower gun, his expression turned serious: "The king, please speak directly."
Emperor Locke smiled and said: "In the Battle of Not Returning to the Sea, the Autumn Harvest Legion, one of the dozens of legions in the empire, originally supported 40,000 troops. Unfortunately, there are only a few left after this battle. The leader Xia Li died in a heroic battle, but the Autumn Harvest Legion The legion number of the legion is still there, and about 700 people have returned to the land, so I hope that there will be someone who can serve as the commander of the Autumn Harvest Legion, and recruit new troops to rebuild this legion with a history of more than 70 years. Are you willing to take up the position of commander? But let me explain first, the Autumn Harvest Legion does not have much right to recruit troops, and after reorganization, it will be attached to the Xia Yu Legion and become one of the battalions of the Xia Yu Legion. It will become independent after it develops and thrives. Are you still willing? .”
Hua Qiang and a pot of wine nodded without thinking: "I am willing."
"good."
Emperor Locke raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "In this case, drinking this glass will do your best."
Huaqiang immediately drank a pot of wine, then turned around and left the palace to receive the remnants of the Autumn Harvest Army. It seems that I have embarked on the same path as me, but in fact the road of Huaqiang is more difficult than mine. The people of the Autumn Harvest Army Almost dead, even if it is sufficient, it will become a vassal of Xia Yu's Army. Xia Yu's Army is the second trump card of the empire. I don't know how many undercurrents are surging. It will be too easy, but this is also a time to test his ability. If he can really lead the Autumn Harvest Army to rise up in the Xia Yu Army, a flower gun and a pot of wine will really have the weight of talking.
...
At this time, the emperor looked at me again, and said with a slight smile: "Commander Li Xiaoyao, I have seen your command and bravery in this battle. You led the Imperial Forest Army to repel the main force of the Siren Clan many times, and personally Killing the blood giant Kyle, you have made great contributions to this battle, tell me, what kind of reward you want, the lonely king will definitely satisfy you." [
I looked around, and a group of generals in Tianling City also cast their eyes on me, many of them were jealous and hated. The legion has become one of the main forces. It's no wonder that these senior generals don't hate me.
Stepping forward, I looked up at the emperor and said, "The Imperial Forest Army suffered too much damage after this battle. I hope Your Majesty will give priority to supplying soldiers to the Imperial Forest Army. In addition, our food, supplies, weapons and equipment have also been damaged a lot. It also needs to be greatly supplemented.”
"Except for these." Emperor Locke asked.
I thought for a while and said: "In addition, I hope His Majesty will allow the Imperial Forest Army to open up camps outside the city. The camps in the city are too small and can only accommodate 20,000 people at most. If the Imperial Forest Army wants to have enough combat power, only 20,000 soldiers It's not enough."
Emperor Locke couldn't help but smiled happily: "It turns out that's just the case. Well, I will immediately approve your request. I will reclaim wasteland in the Moonblade Forest in the southwest of Tianling City immediately, and allocate millions of gold coins from the treasury to serve the Imperial Forest Army." Established a new camp, and, in the Battle of the Sea of No Return, the battle losses of the Magic Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion have exceeded 70%, and the two commanders and many battalion commanders have also died in battle. , How about this, the rest of the Demon Flame Army and the Star Gun Army will be incorporated into the Royal Forest Army, how about it."
On the side, Pei Er bumped me with her shoulder in surprise, and said, "I don't thank you yet."
I was stunned: "What?"
Peier said: "The Magic Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion were originally the battle-tested legions of the empire. Although they are small in number, they have elite combat power. Even if they lose 70% of their strength, each legion still has at least 10,000 people. , what do you say?"
I was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Locke said: "It doesn't matter. The Imperial Forest Army serves the empire. Rebuilding the Imperial Forest Army is also on my mind. General Li will build the Imperial Forest Army into a strong army. This is also the wish of the lonely king."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Locke coughed and said solemnly: "Immediately declare that Li Xiaoyao will be promoted to Zhennan General, with a rank of four ranks, commanding the entire army of the Imperial Forest Army, and having the right to send troops independently. General Zhennan’s token can mobilize all the surrounding imperial legions, and any army commander cannot be blamed.”
I was stunned, and Peier on the side was even more pleasantly surprised. The imperial decree of the emperor is so gracious, it actually gave me the ability to mobilize the surrounding legions. The only person who supports the imperial army is the marshal, and a general from Zhennan in my area actually has the treatment of a marshal. It seems that Emperor Locke really thinks highly of me and Pei'er.
A guard stepped forward, holding a red token in his hand, and said, "General Li, please accept the token and seal of General Zhennan."
I stretched out my hand to hold it up. The badge of General Zhennan was heavier than that of General Xia, and the workmanship was also more refined. In fact, I was quite happy in my heart. The general belonged to the sixth level in the imperial military system, while General Zhennan belongs to the 4th level, and he has been promoted to two levels in a row, which is considered a great event in a man's life.
"Ding."
System prompt: Congratulations, you have made outstanding contributions in the Battle of the Sea of No Return, you have obtained 1,000 merit points, and rewards: level 1, charm value 50, and gold coins 100,000.
...
At this time, the real rewards are given. Maybe my level is too high, and I only got the reward of level 1, but it is not bad. At level 151, I can go to professional promotion.
The emperor looked at me and said, "General Li, I hope you will live up to the trust of the lonely king and continue to serve the empire."
I nodded: "I will."
Pei Er smiled and said: "The armies of the Demon Flame Legion and the Star Gun Legion are outside the city, so take your people to receive them, and preparations are underway for food, grass, supplies, etc., and they will be distributed to the Imperial Forest Army as soon as possible. Don't worry. Well, the officer who prepares the food and grass is my man, and he will definitely not shirk the delay."
I smiled: "OK."
Although I have the sixth rank thing in mind, let's get the matter of the Imperial Forest Army settled first. After all, this is more important. The Imperial Forest Army will be incorporated into the strength of the two major legions, and it will have a strength of 40,000 in an instant. With time and training, this army will It will become my peerless magic weapon for conquering cities and territories.
Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue went to level up. After all, they are young girls and have no interest in training the army. Otherwise, they must have chosen to receive military merit rewards instead of equipment and levels like Fang Geque and Huaqiang Yiju. However, after receiving the level rewards, the two mm are close to level 150. It must be to go to level 150 to prepare for the sixth turn. There are no players who have the sixth turn. No one knows what new skills the player will get after the sixth turn. Full of anticipation.
...
Outside Tianling City, there are players everywhere. Peier and I came to the Moonblade Forest, and from a distance, we saw a dense group of imperial troops lined up in the jungle clearing. Their battle armors were still covered with blood, many of them had been damaged and looked tattered, but there were no wounded soldiers, and the wounded soldiers must have been removed.
A group of people whispered to each other. These soldiers were very panicked. The leaders of the two major legions had already died in battle. They didn't know what fate they would usher in. It was understandable that they were anxious.
"Silence, His Royal Highness Pei'er is here."
The herald yelled loudly and galloped out of the queue, and the crowd quickly fell silent.
