Chapter 829: Expansion of the Army

"brush!"

Appeared in the dungeon, opened his eyes, only to find a black mouse crawling on his chest, he threw it away by the tail, turned over, the durability of the armor was not high, and the armor was full of battles. The scars and holes cut out by the ax and the sword were "just clicked", and the lock was opened, but a guard chief said outside: "Commander Li, come out, we are going to the palace!"

I rubbed my arm, feeling a little sore, stood up and walked out of the cell, thinking that I probably would never come back again.

...

When I came to the ground, I walked around a few pavilions and found the palace hall. I walked a few steps quickly, caught up with the head of the guard, and asked, "Chief of the guard, what happened yesterday?"

The chief guard gave a wry smile: "There are no big things, but a lot of small things happened..."

"What?"

"The emperor's beard...was completely shaved overnight. The method of the visitor was very clever. He actually shaved off all the beards of the emperor when he was not awake. The weapon he held must be as sharp as iron. It's an artifact."

I couldn't help laughing, the chief guard looked over, and I felt a little rude, so I said, "I didn't expect such a strange person to appear in the palace."

The chief guard said: "Hmph, this is clearly telling His Majesty that he wants to take His Majesty's life like he is picking something out of a pocket? Hmph, it is simply too treacherous. If I catch him, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

I already guessed who it was, who would do such a boring but daring thing besides Otilia?

...

When I walked up to the main hall, it was already close to noon. The top 10 players on the merit list, such as Lin Wan'er, Fang Geque, Jian Jianjian, Dong Chengyue, and Ye Lai, were already there. Seeing my injured shackles, Ye Lai couldn't help feeling a little angry : "Damn, what's going on, Xiaoyao, who handcuffed you?"

I smiled slightly: "It's okay!"

When I got to the bottom of the king's steps, Locke looked at me and said coldly: "After a thorough investigation by Peer and Owen, this matter has been cleared up. It has nothing to do with Commander Li. Commander Li is not only innocent, but also has meritorious service. Come, someone, unshackle Commander Li!"

I shook my head: "No need!"

As he spoke, he stretched his arms and let out a low shout. The shackles cast by this special cold iron suddenly shattered. With my current state and strength, this ordinary iron could not trap me at all, and the shackles shattered into one. Seeing the fragments of the ground, the old king, Owen and others were stunned. They must also know that as long as I think of it, even the dungeon can't trap me.

...

I walked up to Pei'er and stood still, Pei'er looked at me and said, "Do you know why you let you go so easily?"

I shook my head: "I don't know..."

Pei'er smiled lightly and said: "A lot of things have happened in the past two days. Father's beard was shaved off in the middle of the night. It is suspected that your friends in the cold dragon city did it, and... Long Yan, Xia Ye and others led The Imperial Forest Army, with nearly a hundred warships lying across the Wushen River, frightened Xia Yujun's docks and ports so that they dared not make a sound, while Han Yuan and Xiao Li pushed nearly a hundred dragon crystal cannons and Huoyan cannons to less than 1000 outside Tianling City. At Mi, I practiced riding and archery outside the city, and for two days in a row, the nobles in the city dared not go out..."

I was stunned. I didn't expect these subordinates to do these things. I was a little moved but also a little worried. This move was to deter Tianling City, but it would definitely make Emperor Locke and Owen think about it. There are literally ten thousand ways to mobilize us soldiers!

...

At this time, Emperor Locke stood up from the throne, with white gauze wrapped around his arm. He was paying homage to Prince Theodore who died in battle. Looking at the ministers, Locke said: "This imperial expedition will completely destroy Luo Lin's subordinates, killed Luo Lin and Gai Wen, severely injured Yin Ge, and exalted the majesty of my Tianling City among the demons in the north. You have made great contributions. Come, tell me the reward you want !"

Fang Geque, Wenjian and others chose to improve their military merits. This time it was different. Almost everyone chose to improve their status in the army. Only Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue had no choice. Both of them were from the Cold Desolation Dragon City There are already people like me in the army, so it is more practical to choose a piece of equipment or something.

As a result, Dong Chengyue got a mage ring with a ghost weapon, and Lin Wan'er got a necklace with a ghost weapon, both of which were pretty good.

Holding the king's sword, Emperor Locke continued to announce all the orders, saying: "The Yanlong Legion took the lead in this battle, and my son Theodore died in a heroic battle. The Yanlong Army is still the chief army of the empire, and Xu Yi will be in charge." Commander of the Yanlong Army, in addition, Fang Geque was promoted to Commander of the Bow and Arrow Battalion, holding the title of Commander-in-Chief, while Mu Xuan, Hua Mei on Paper, and Ye Lai were commanders of the sub-battalion, holding the title of Commander-in-Chief!"

As he spoke, Locke paused, and said: "The rank of the flower gun and a pot of wine has been promoted to partial general, and the Autumn Harvest Army under its command has expanded to 10,000 people, and it is still incorporated under Xia Yu's army. long."

Owen sat opposite, looking at me with murderous intent. I also looked at him, raised the corner of my mouth, and didn't speak.

Emperor Locke continued: "In the end, the Imperial Forest Army led General Li Xiaoyao to fight bravely, and was promoted to General Protecting the Country, with a rank of three ranks. He was allowed to expand the army by himself, and the Imperial Forest Army expanded to a maximum of 100,000 people. The first general was promoted to Zhendong General and Zhennan General, and served in the army of Xia Yu Army, and Xiao Li and Han Yuan were promoted to partial generals, and served in the army of Yanlong Army!"

I trembled all over, it was so poisonous, this must be Owen’s suggestion to Locke, and I directly transferred all four of my capable generals, so that I alone, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, is no longer enough to control the entire army , This rising and falling is simply cutting off my left and right arms.

Stepping forward, I said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, something is wrong."

Locke said proudly, "General Li, why not?"

I thought for a while and said: "The Royal Forest Army has just been successfully rebuilt and is employing people. Han Yuan and other four generals are easy for me to use, and they also have a tacit understanding with the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army. They have high prestige in the army. Only such generals Only then can all the combat power of the Imperial Forest Army be fully mobilized, I would rather not give this reward, please continue to let the four of them stay in the Imperial Forest Army!"

Locke was slightly startled: "Li Xiaoyao, you don't even want the General Protector, just for these four people?"

I nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, please Your Majesty."

"Well……"

Locke breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "All the generals of the Royal Forest Army will not change their ranks, and they will still maintain their establishment, but you are allowed to recruit your own troops and expand to the 100,000 ** army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

I stepped back, and Ye Lai who was not far away pouted and said with a smile: "This world is too dark, you can't award rewards for meritorious deeds, even npcs are like this, md I don't know what to say."

I also laughed: "It doesn't matter, there will always be a day when the clouds clear!"

"Um!"

Lin Wan'er was afraid that I would be unhappy, so she stayed with me for a while after the palace meeting ended, and I took her to send Liu Shuang, Zi Shu, and Otilia away, and then it was time to deal with the affairs of the Imperial Forest Army, Lin Wan'er, Dongcheng Yue It's time to level up, and I'm going to the Royal Forest Army camp.

Turning on his horse, he walked out of Tianling City on a flying sickle iron horse. Looking back, he found 4 heads pierced on the sword building above the gate of the city, one of which was relatively large, that was the head of the blood giant Kyle. The other three belonged to Rowling, Gavin, and Serin. When people see it, will they be furious, and one day hang the heads of Locke and Owen on the city of the strange demon territory?

When they came to the camp, Han Yuan, Xiao Li and the others were overjoyed to see me come back in full beard and tail, and quickly held an impromptu meeting in the central army tent. Regarding the preparation of troops, I will also tell you about the rewards. for a moment.

Han Yuan frowned and said, "At first, I thought I could get some rewards, but I didn't expect that the emperor didn't have the slightest intention to reward the Imperial Forest Army this time. It really is because he is old and has lost his head."

I smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, Vice General Song appropriated some gold coins from the Imperial Forest Army's inventory to reward the soldiers. The emperor has chilled our hearts, and we cannot chill the hearts of the Imperial Forest Army soldiers."

Long Yan nodded with a smile: "Your Commander's words are very true!"

Xia Ye asked: "My lord, has the emperor allowed us to expand the Imperial Forest Army to 100,000 people?"

Me: "Well, yes, but I haven't thought of where to recruit so many people from."

Han Yuan said: "My lord, do you know why the combat power of the Imperial Forest Army is even higher than that of the Yanlong Army and Xia Yu Army?"

"do not know why?"

"Because our sword and shield battalion is composed of barbarians with infinite strength!" Han Yuan laughed and said, "But after continuous battles, there are less than 4,000 barbarians left out of 5,000 people. This is not the way, the last general Suggestion, let's raise a troop and go to the barbarian tribe in the southeast border of Bahuang City to recruit soldiers?"

Long Yan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The life of the barbarians has always been poor. If we bring them enough gold coins and food, and give each barbarian family a few gold coins, I believe we will be able to recruit a group of capable warriors. General Yuan's suggestion is so brilliant!"

Xiao Li was serious, and said: "I'm just a little worried. Barbarians are wild and hard to tame. Why should we tame their wildness?"

I said without hesitation: "There is a vast fire crystal basin in the south of the Moonblade Forest, which can be reclaimed as military farmland. I'll apply for it. We can move the entire barbarian tribe here. Not only can a large amount of farmland be planted, but it can also be used as a farmland." They felt a sense of belonging to the Empire and were not afraid that these barbarians would betray them."

There was joy in Xiao Li's eyes: "Your Excellency's brilliant move, that's it!"

"Um!"

...

The application went very smoothly. Princess Pei'er easily obtained the right to use the Fire Crystal Basin. The Royal Forest Army immediately sent 20,000 people to the Fire Crystal Basin to reclaim the wasteland, while four generals Han Yuan and I escorted 10,000 cavalry. He went to the southeast of Bahuang City with dozens of carts of grain, grass and gold coins.
