Chapter Eight Hundred and Five: Chasing and Killing Water Pirates
Outside Tianling City, in the Moonblade Forest, the camp of the Imperial Forest Army is being built rapidly. The surrounding trees have been cut down to build the barracks, and a wide open space has been opened up in front of the camp. The shield battalion training ground, the cavalry training ground and other venues, right in front of the camp, a big flag of the Royal Forest Army fluttered in the wind on a tall flagpole, which was very eye-catching.
...
"Tuk-tuk..."
The hooves of the flying sickle iron horse walked into the camp on the wet ground. Han Yuan, who was directing a group of soldiers to dig a pool, rode over immediately and said with a smile, "General, are you here?"
I was surprised and asked, "Why are you digging a pool at the edge of the camp?"
"Train the sailors!"
Han Yuan clenched his fists and said, "General, you have also seen this time in the Battle of No Return to the Sea. The Imperial Navy is almost vulnerable, and even the warships built by Luo Lin's subordinates are enough to kill our Imperial Navy with one blow." The Imperial Forest Army camp is adjacent to the Valkyrie River, and the undercurrent of the Valkyrie River is even worse than the Sea of No Return. We must have our own warships and water troops, otherwise we will not be able to cope with future wars."
I nodded appreciatively: "Well, have you told Princess Pei'er about the training of the navy?"
"His Highness has already agreed, and even the payment for supervising the construction of warships was personally approved by His Highness!" Han Yuan smiled excitedly: "The Wushen River runs from Bingridge Mountain in the north around Tianling City to Wentian Peak in the south. The natural barrier of Lingcheng was only Xia Yu's army with a navy of about 3,000 people protecting the fate pontoon bridge before. Now the Royal Forest Army has also begun to supervise the construction of warships and train the navy. Support the emperor who can stand against Xia Yu's army."
I smiled and asked again: "Who is responsible for the protection and safety of Lingcheng that day?"
Han Yuan smiled and said: "General, please rest assured that the defense of the imperial capital will be in charge of the defense of the imperial capital in turn by the two generals, Longyu and Xia Ye. The Imperial Forest Army will also have 5,000 people stationed permanently in the city, please rest assured, besides... Prince Theodore transferred 10,000 people from the Flame Dragon Legion into the imperial capital and stationed in the imperial city, and now we are no longer responsible for the safety of the inner imperial city."
My heart sank: "Oh, so..."
Han Yuan lowered his voice and said, "General, I think Prince Theodore has already begun to distrust our Imperial Forest Army, and is targeting us everywhere. Why?"
I put the Zhenyue knife on the ground, and said with a smile: "The Imperial Forest Army is rising too fast. The strength we showed in the Battle of No Return to the Sea has made Theodore feel scared. He is afraid of his Yanlong Legion. The status of the empire's number one trump card will be lost, so that's fine, let Theodore continue to be afraid!"
Han Yuan was stunned: "General, don't forget that he is the crown prince. Once His Majesty has...he will succeed to the throne as soon as possible. At that time, he will hold the power of life and death. I am worried that His Highness will be detrimental to our Imperial Forest Army. Have you ever imagined this result?"
I nodded: "Thinking about it, if this is the case, the Imperial Forest Army will change its flag, and we will go to the border area to guard the border. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Theodore can't do anything to us. If it is impossible..."
Han Yuan smiled: "General, if you support your troops and make yourself king, the general will follow you to death!"
I couldn't help laughing: "That's not true. Most of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army have relatives in Tianling City. I don't want them to be implicated with me. That's it. Go up the river and see how the water bandits are doing, whether they are superhuman or not, they are not even afraid of the water army of Xia Yu's army."
"The last general has ordered 4,000 troops, half of the cavalry, and half of the sword and shield battalion. Let's go now?"
"Walk!"
...
After an order, horns sounded, and the 4,000 members of the Imperial Forest Army, led by Han Yuan and I, went straight to the west. After 20 minutes, the sound of the rushing river in the distance could be heard, the breeze was blowing, and the fresh smell of the lake water , That's the smell of the Martial God River, I've already tasted it on the Fate Floating Bridge, but the Martial God River seems to be a little far away, and in the distance, there was a cry, and in the jungle at night, a flame shot into the sky!
"General!"
Han Yuan pointed his spear at the fire, and said: "I remember there is a small town there, with a population of about 10,000+. It seems that water bandits are looting that town!"
I nodded: "Go at full speed, the cavalry go first!"
With a neighing sound from the flying sickle iron horse, I rushed out, and Han Yuan followed closely with 2000 Imperial Forest Army cavalry. When we rushed out of the jungle, many houses in the distant town were already on fire, and a group of people armed with broadswords The strong man with the knife is killing people everywhere, while shouting loudly: "Kill all the men, take away the young women, and take away all their treasures and food. The speed must be fast. no the same!"
The cries and shouts in the town became one, and most of the townspeople were gathered in the square, being massacred by a group of pirates with broad knives.
"Clang!"
I had already pulled out the Longchi sword from a distance, and shouted in a low voice: "The Imperial Forest Army, charge, these people who wield butcher knives at civilians are inhumane, kill them all, don't take prisoners of war! The Sword and Shield Battalion surrounded the town, a water Don't let the thief go!"
Two water pirates rushed towards me with broadswords in hand. The strength of 152 Titans is indeed very strong compared to the current NPCs. Already at level 150+, and the iron cavalry is all Titan-level strength, some commanders and centurions even have the strength of Tianling-level and Lingyu-level bosses, and they are not afraid of these pirates at all.
"brush!"
The Longchi sword pierced through the two water pirates with a spinning effect, and the flying sickle and iron horse passed by. I took advantage of the opportunity to cut the Zhenyue knife across their necks, and brought out two amazing damage figures-"31282!"
"33127!"
Looking at such damage figures, I am still a little proud. The Ancient God Tiger also released to help the battle. Behind him, Han Yuan led a group of cavalry to cover up and kill nearly a hundred water pirates who intercepted them. Stay, no prisoners of war at all.
There were at least a thousand water pirates in the square, and one of the leaders looked at the emblem on my shoulder, couldn't help trembling, and roared: "Oops! It's a member of the Royal Forest Army, that person...that person is in Luhu Lake The commander of the imperial forest army who killed the blood giant, the new general of the empire Zhennan! Damn it, why did they come here, isn’t this the territory of Xia Yu’s army and Kuanglei’s army?”
Another water thief with a long halberd lost his voice: "General, what should we do now?"
The leader got on his horse and said, "Don't want any property or women anymore, come with me and return to the Wushen River, where the river is our world!"
As he said that, he looked back at me provocatively, and shouted: "Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, come and chase us if you have the guts, and we will have a showdown on the Valkyrie River!"
I ignored him, cut off a water pirate with a single swing of my hand, and continued to command the Imperial Forest Army to charge around. As a result, in less than 10 minutes, more than a thousand water pirates were killed and there were not many left.
In the small town, there were flames everywhere. On the square, an old man walked over with a cane, looked at me, with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord... the villain is the leader of this small town. Thanks to you leading the army here, otherwise our Starlight Town may really be doomed, Starlight Town will always be grateful for the kindness of the Imperial Forest Army..."
I said: "Old man, hurry up and put out the fire. By the way, isn't this the area under the jurisdiction of Xia Yu's army? Why do you sit idly by and ignore these water pirates who burn, kill, and loot here?"
The old man's body trembled slightly, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
I guessed it seven or eight points, so I said: "Don't worry about anything, just say what you have, I will support you when the sky falls!"
The crutches in the hands of the old man trembled a little, with a trace of anger on his face, he said: "This area was originally the territory of Xia Yu's Legion, but a year ago, an army from the Kuang Lei Legion was also stationed here, and they took over the security here. , but...the number of water robbers coming to rob more and more, but the emperor has never appeared. I heard some gossip, it seems that the property robbed by water pirates is divided equally with an officer of the Kuanglei Legion Yes, even... There used to be a well-known beautiful girl named 'Lan Xin' in our small town. She was robbed half a year ago. It is said that she has been given to the officer as a concubine, so she should have been ruined long ago. ..."
"Crazy Thunder Legion?"
I frowned, thinking of the Reis with a red scarf on his arm that I saw during the Battle of the Sea of No Return. He is the commander of the Thunder Legion. It is said that he is a passionate seed. Could it be that he allowed water pirates to plunder nearby? Things related to him?
The old man continued: "General, more than a dozen villages in the surrounding tens of miles are often disturbed by water pirates. Our life is worse than death, without dignity. If this continues, the Moonblade Forest may no longer be inhabitable. !"
I nodded and said: "Please don't worry, the old man, the Imperial Forest Army is still stationed in the Moonblade Forest. We will definitely eradicate this water pirate completely and give you peace."
"The old man would like to thank the general first. By the way... if it is convenient for the general, he can bring... Lan Xin back? That is the granddaughter of the old man..."
"Don't worry, I will do my best!"
"Thank you General!"
"Ding!"

...
Seeing that the fire in the village had been brought under control, I immediately turned around and said to Han Yuan, "Let's take advantage of the victory to pursue and go to the Wushen River to see how powerful these pirates are!"
"Yes, General!" Han Yuan's face was a little excited. He was a soldier from a poor background, and he was jealous of evil, so he naturally wanted to eradicate these pirates.
"The Imperial Forest Army, head west!"
Han Yuan gave an order, and the 2,000 cavalry continued to head west without any damage. Outside the village, there appeared again the corpses of water pirates in disorder. Holding the broad blade, he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Commander, I have slipped away a dozen water pirates and headed west towards the Wushen River. There should be their warships there."
I nodded: "Follow me!"
"yes!"
