Chapter Eight Hundred and Forty: Chang'e Flies to the Moon

Entering the palace, far away, the two sides of the hall are full of guards with swords glowing with cold light. It seems that after Owen succeeded to the throne, even the guards in the palace have been sent a lot more. A chief guard stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "My lord, please remove your weapons and horses, otherwise you will not be able to enter the hall."

I was a little taken aback. There was no such regulation when Locke was in power. The generals who are qualified to go to the palace are generally important ministers of the empire. There is no need to worry about being assassinated. All kinds of regulations came out.

With a shake of my hand, I already had the Longchi Sword and Zhenyue Knife in my bag, and then put the Shenlie Dragon Horse into the pet space, and walked up to the main hall with bare hands. Sitting on the throne, behind him is Jiuxi, who represents the power in the world, and ten strong guards stand behind Owen, while Princess Peier stands under the steps on the right side of the king's throne, without any expression on her face , just looking at me from a distance.

...

"Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Royal Forest Army."

Owen slowly stood up from the throne, and said: "You went to the barbarian tribe in Bahuang City this time for your meritorious service in recruiting soldiers. What kind of reward do you want? Even if you say it, Gu will not be stingy."

I always felt the insincerity in these words couldn't be concealed, so I bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need any rewards. I will contribute to the empire. It is the duty of the generals of the empire to strengthen the army."

"good."

The corner of Owen's mouth raised, revealing an incomprehensible smile, and said: "Commander Li Xiaoyao is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he is a role model for the imperial family, come here, and give me the axe." [

The so-called ax is actually a symbol of military merit, a prop hung in the army, which can probably improve the morale of the Imperial Forest Army to a certain extent.

The guard on the side helped me pick up the axe, and I bowed again to thank me.

Owen continued: "After Serin's death, the sea of ​​No Return has been calm, but recently, the dark moon spirits from the north began to forge warships. City and Moon City were plundered all the way, making the Iron Skull Empire and Moon Empire miserable. If they continue to wreak havoc, they will sooner or later threaten the coastal security of Tianling City. These Moon Spirits from the Dark Moon Spirit Territory total about 100,000. There are so many people, their archery skills are extraordinary, even the strange demon army shuns them, but the majesty of the Tianling Empire cannot be desecrated, which general is willing to fight for the empire and conquer this group of dark moon spirits."

Xu Yi, the new commander of the Yanlong Army, stepped out, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Yulin Army has nearly a hundred warships and is the most elite navy in the empire. The last general thinks that the Yulin Army should be sent to fight. Commander Li Xiaoyao is good at fighting. The flag has won, so that group of moon spirit girls dare not invade the territory of our Tianling Empire."

I looked up at Xu Yi, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army has been fighting continuously, not returning to the sea, deer lake, awe-inspiring plains, and barbarian tribes. The soldiers are tired and need a period of recuperation before they can fight again, and... since the Dark Moon Spirits are riding on a warship, we must have a strong navy. Why don't we set up camps along the coast and deal with them at leisure? The army has the rich resources and supplies of Tianling City behind us, and the Dark Moon Spirit can't fight us for a long time."

Princess Pei'er took a step forward, clasped her fists and said, "Brother Emperor, what Li Xiaoyao said is unreasonable, there is no need for us to compete with the Dark Moon Spirit in the sea of ​​no return, not to mention that although the Sea Monster Clan is dormant, they are not On behalf of the Sea-Monster Clan, all were killed, once the Sea-Monster Clan joins the battle, the warships we dispatched on the sea will simply be sent to death.”

Owen smiled slightly: "Gu understands, that's it, Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, obeys orders."

I clasped my fists together: "Yes."

Owen said: "Let your Imperial Forest Army rest for half a month, and go out in half a month. I don't care what method the Imperial Forest Army uses, but you must drive the warship of the Dark Moon Spirit away from the territory of Tianling City for 100 miles, otherwise it will be the Imperial Forest Army. dereliction of duty."

I took a deep breath: "The Imperial Forest Army received the order."

Standing next to Peier, I frown, Owen is imposing the task of the Dark Moon Spirit on the Imperial Forest Army, nn, after becoming emperor, Owen seems to have changed from a shrewd and capable leader of Xia Yu's army to a A shopkeeper who has given up his hands, but fortunately, he didn't blatantly break the face with me, otherwise, with his current position, I have nothing to do.

Next, we are discussing matters again, all of which are wars on the border between the two countries. The three main cities of Wangyue City, Linhai City, and Huoyun City are already in contact with Tianling City. They are all local battles, but it also indicates that A storm is coming, Wings of Heroes World Finals is over, will the national war be far behind?

...

When night fell, leaving the Tianling City Imperial Palace, the atmosphere inside was too depressing.

Back at the camp of the Imperial Forest Army, Han Yuan and Xiao Li immediately went up to me and asked me what the emperor had said. They seemed to be very sensitive, knowing that the Imperial Forest Army was already on the cusp of the storm. [

I didn't say what the emperor meant, but I just said: "The army of the Dark Moon Spirit Territory has already gone out to sea and set sail to plunder the humans on the south coast in the Sea of ​​No Return. The Emperor has entrusted the task of resisting the Dark Moon Spirit to the Imperial Forest Army. You guys! Immediately go to the city to recruit craftsmen, immediately go to the Sea of ​​No Return, and build ten small fortresses on the coastline. The fortresses are defended with dragon crystal cannons and fire rock cannons. Each garrison has 1,000 soldiers, and then build a port to resist Dark Moon Spirit."

Han Yuan nodded: "Yes, General."

Xiao Li frowned: "The Dark Moon Spirit is about to move."

Me: "What happened to the Dark Moon Spirit?"

Xiao Li said: "Dark Moon Spirits are a cursed family. Legend has it that they are the unclean products of gods and humans. However, Dark Moon Spirits are all young girls who have practiced archery since childhood. With a beautiful face and a graceful figure, it is already a miracle for one or two dark moon spirits to appear on the mainland occasionally in the past few decades, and once these dark moon spirits are caught by humans, most of them will be chained. The rich people’s confinement is for their entertainment, probably because of this, the Dark Moon Spirit hates humans very much, General, Your Majesty entrusted us with this task, it is really a hot potato.”

I nodded: "I know, but I must obey."

"Yes, the general will understand."

...

Until the evening, the craftsmen were working very fast, and the prototypes of the fortresses had been built on the edge of the Sea of ​​No Return. Teams of Imperial Forest Army around were carrying stones, artillery, etc., and at the same time sent light boats to cruise the sea to search. Once the warship of the Dark Moon Spirit appears, we will be alerted as soon as possible.

Riding a godly dragon horse, I walked on the coastline with my sword in hand, looking at the ocean in the north, I couldn't help but sigh, this game is really too mature, it made me a little obsessed with this kind of military life, Or maybe there is really a passionate and warlike heart hidden deep in my heart.

Behind me are the hundreds of guards sent by Han Yuan, all of whom are outstanding in skill. Although I don't want to, but Han Yuan said that a commander should look like a commander, and always come alone It's too unsafe to go alone. In fact, when I look at the np soldiers behind me, the highest ones are only at the ancient level. They don't even have a quasi-boss. I'm afraid I can't beat them alone...

At this moment, a cavalry general from the Royal Forest Army suddenly flew over from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, a man who claims to be the Marquis of Tianling City wants to see you, do you need to see him?"

I was stunned: "Let him come."

"yes."

A few minutes later, a fat man weighing about 300 jin came galloping under the protection of a group of guards. His weight did not overwhelm the horse under his crotch. I knew it was a thousand-mile horse with a glance. This Lord Marquis He looks very rich, but what is he doing here.

The fat man rode his horse and stepped forward with an unruly posture. He looked at me and said, "You are Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army."

I nodded: "It's me, you are."

He laughed, and said shyly, "Even I don't know, I am the Marquis of Benyue, who was conferred by the previous emperor himself. This is my token, and General Li is looking forward to it."

I glanced at the token, and there was indeed a picture of flying to the moon, and there was also a picture of a graceful woman flying into the sky. I couldn't help but frowned and said, "Is this Chang'e..."

Ben Yuehou smiled: "General Li is well-known and memorized. That's right, this Chang'e is a peerless goddess who flew to the moon in ancient times. It is said that she has the most beautiful face and the most charming figure in the world. , the emperor bestowed on me the title of Marquis of Benyue so that I could fly to the moon one day, invite this goddess down to the mortal world, and have a good night with the emperor."

I finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ben Yuehou gave me a bitter look: "General Zhennan, why are you laughing?"

I suppressed a smile, and said sternly: "In other words, the real meaning of the existence of Lord Hou, Ben Yuehou, is to collect beauties from all over the world for His Majesty."

Ben Yuehou laughed, and admitted straightforwardly: "That's right, that's what Ben Yuehou is for, so Li Xiaoyao leads me to tell you directly, this time I'm here to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" I raised my eyebrows.

Ben Yuehou's face was full of lust, and he said with a smile: "The Imperial Forest Army will definitely fight against the Dark Moon Spirit in the near future. If you capture a living Dark Moon Spirit girl during the battle, don't kill it, sell it to me. Benhou, how about it, for an adult dark moon spirit, I will offer...um, 5,000 gold coins to buy, no, I am willing to offer 10,000 gold coins to buy, there is no upper limit, how about it."

I was stunned: "It seems that Ben Yuehou is really rich. The arsenal of the Imperial Forest Army is only a few hundred thousand gold coins. You are willing to buy the Dark Moon Spirit for 10,000 gold coins each."

The corners of Ben Yuehou's mouth turned up, and he continued to say with a shy stomach: "How can a warrior like you understand the joy between the beds, you just need to answer me, are you willing to sell the Dark Moon Spirit to me?"

I turned around and looked at the sea of ​​no return. I couldn't help feeling disgusted, and said with a smile, "I'm only responsible for defending the sea of ​​no return and protecting the territory of the empire. I'm not a businessman. Don't ask me for such things."

"snort."

Ben Yuehou sneered: "General Li, please do it yourself."
