Chapter Nine Hundred and Sixty IX The Betrayal of the Empire

On the side, the chief guard walked over, took two tokens from me, and whispered in my ear: "General Li, the empire has betrayed you..."

My heart trembled, but I didn't speak. Instead, I gave him a deep look, with a bit of killing intent.

...

Luo Qianlin stood up slowly, looked at me with red eyes, and said, "Mr. Li, what are your plans for the future?"

I patted another emblem on my shoulder and said, "I am the Dragon Rider General of the Frost Dragon City. The world is so big that I can live anywhere. It's no big deal."

Luo Qianlin said: "Master Li, you don't have to be like this...you are still Lord Broken Ding, and you are still the master of Fanshucheng, but the Imperial Forest Army can no longer garrison Fanshucheng, I..."

I waved my hand and said, "Qianlin, needless to say, I am no longer a general of the empire, and Fanshu City is just my fiefdom, and I will never station the imperial army again. I understand this, but Qianlin... "

Luo Qianlin looked up at me: "Mr. Li?"

I smiled: "But don't forget, you said that I hold a force of less than 100,000 soldiers in the Imperial Forest Army, but your father Luo Xun holds a Rongdi Army with nearly 200,000 troops in his hand. Your father should have beheaded ten times!"

"I..." Luo Qianlin stood there gritting her teeth, not knowing how to answer me, but could only say: "I'm sorry, Master Li..."

The corner of my mouth twitched: "It doesn't matter. After all, we have no blood relationship. Even if I say that I am not from this world and will leave one day, the world will still be yours if I fight it. You probably won't believe it."

Luo Qianlin's eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down on the ground again, saying: "Mr. Li, I believe in you, Qianlin has always trusted you, but...but please let me tide over this difficulty, I will definitely personally Go to Cold Desolate Dragon City to invite you back to Tianling City!"

"Needless to say, I'm leaving."

As soon as he turned around, Zixiao's cloak was fluttering with the wind, but he felt that Wuguan was very light, and the whole person was extremely relaxed, but at this moment, the chief guard suddenly shouted: "General Li Xiaoyao, please stay!"

"how?"

He smiled and said: "General Li Xiaoyao is dismissed, and a new general will naturally be appointed as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. His Majesty has given the order. This candidate is General Xia Ye among the four generals!"

I was slightly taken aback, surprised that Luo Qianlin had already planned to deprive me of my military power before this. On the other hand, Luo Qianlin had a unique vision in selecting generals. Among the four generals, Han Yuan was the most reckless and brave. Able to be a general but not handsome, Xiao Li is more than cautious but lacks courage, Long Yu is a tough man, leaning towards Han Yuan's type, but Xia Ye is calm, calm and judgmental, and he is a man who can be made.

Luo Qianlin said: "I will write the handwriting right away, and ask Master Li to do one more thing for me. Take my handwriting and appoint Xia Ye as the new commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Probably only you... can convince them?"

I couldn't help laughing bitterly, Luo Qianlin also figured this out, the four generals are all so arrogant, how could it be possible for the empire to dismiss me, the commander they have followed for a long time, so easily?

"Okay, please hurry up, Your Majesty." I stood there alone and waited

Luo Qianlin quickly wrote the letter of appointment, and then stamped the seal. After handing it over to me, his eyes were red, but he turned away from the left and right. Then he put the handwriting in my hand, but supported my wrist, and said in a low voice: " Master Li, do you know that there is a fire lion mercenary regiment stationed in the Ice and Fire Wasteland?"

I was stunned: "I don't know..."

Luo Qianlin continued: "The fire lion mercenary group has a total strength of more than 200,000. It is the strongest mercenary between Zeyuan City and Tianling City. It has plundered many tribes in the Ice and Fire Wasteland all year round. Resentment is mixed, but... I have already sent someone to get in touch with the fire lion mercenaries. After you leave, the fire lion mercenaries will attack Tianling City's field at a certain opportunity, and I will send the forbidden army to defend Yu, the Imperial Army will be defeated, and after that, the Imperial Forest Army will also be defeated!"

My heart sank: "Qianlin, what are you?"

With determination in Luo Qianlin's eyes, he said, "I will use the lives of 10,000 Imperial Forest Army and Imperial Army soldiers in exchange for Master Li's return to the Imperial Forest Army!"

I just felt my scalp go numb: "It's not worth it!"

"No, Master Li, listen to me."

Luo Qianlin still held my hand, with burning eyes, and said, "Long Zhong, Leisi, Qin Ye, and Xia Houren are all father's people. How many people do I have in my hand? Only the Imperial Forest Army, Only the defeat of the imperial army can make these people shut up, and when Master Li returns to Tianling City again, I will take away the military power of Long Zhong, Leisi, Qin Ye and others on the grounds that these three people killed Zhongliang, no matter how bad it is At least it can divide the forces in their hands, Master Li, please be patient and wait for me..."

I was shocked, I never thought that Luo Qianlin, the young emperor, would have such a terrible idea and plan deep in his heart, but if it is really implemented, most of the military power in Lingcheng will be in his hands In his hands, not in his father's, what a ruthless boy, he is fit to be an emperor!

But when I think of sacrificing a lot of troops from the Imperial Forest Army, my heart aches.

Luo Qianlin saw my concerns and said, "I'll let the fire lion mercenaries pay attention to propriety. Rest assured, Mr. Li, the elites of the Imperial Forest Army and the Forbidden Army will never suffer too much loss."

I had no other choice but to nod.

"Master Li, that journey is precious!" Luo Qianlin said.

"knew."

...

With the Dijun’s handwritten letter, I felt mixed feelings. I directly called up the city lord interface of Fanshu City, selected the function of returning to the city, and instantly teleported back to Fanshu City. I quickly rushed to the camp of the Imperial Forest Army. Respectfully said: "Master Commander!"

I nodded: "Immediately send an order that all the generals at the level of the ten thousand husbands will report in the chamber!"

"yes!"

I went straight into the meeting hall, and after a while, the four generals, Ling Luo and other heads of the ten thousand entered the meeting hall one after another, while Han Yuan said with a blushing smile, "General, this fight in the forbidden land of dragons is truly amazing!" It's fun, I heard before how brave and invincible the Xia Huo Army in Nine Clouds City is, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, our Royal Forest Army is the world's number one ace army!"

Xiao Li also smiled excitedly: "Yes, my lord!"

Xia Ye held on to the hilt of his sword, sat on the second seat, and said, "General, I heard that our Royal Forest Army didn't get the mineral veins in the Dragon's Forbidden Land. Why? We lost thousands of brothers in order to seize this mineral vein." Ah? How could His Majesty be so unfair..."

I smiled: "Everyone stop talking."

As I said that, I took out Luo Qianlin's handwriting from my pocket, and said, "This is Dijun's handwriting, please read it!"

"oh?"

Han Yuan took the handwriting and read it again. Suddenly, his black face flushed instantly, and he stood up suddenly and roared: "Why? Why?! General, you are Lord Broken Ding, and you are loyal to the empire. Why should you Deprive you of your military power? This... this emperor Luo Qianlin is indeed a fool, we really misunderstood him, if we knew this, we should have chopped off his head!"

Xiao Li was shocked: "What's going on?"

"look by youself!"

Han Yuan handed over the handwriting, and suddenly the 10 commanders of the Imperial Forest Army stood there stunned, already at a loss what to do. Xia Ye even tore the handwriting into pieces, threw it away suddenly, and knelt on the ground on one knee , said in a deep voice: "I, Xia Ye, am willing to entrust my life to General Li Xiaoyao. I will not change in this life, and the final general will never overstep. Please believe me, General!"

I nodded: "I know, but this is the end of the matter, everyone, don't say anything more, immediately send an order, the imperial forest army will go to Huoshen Mountain to set up camp, and this Fanshu City can no longer allow the imperial forest army to camp."

Veins popped up on Han Yuan's face: "General, why don't I go back to Tianling City with a single knife and cut off the dog heads of Luo Qianlin and Luo Xun. General, how happy is it for you to be the emperor yourself?"

I said angrily: "Han Yuan, don't talk nonsense! Let's not say that the name is not right and the words are not right, even if we take down Tianling City, it will only attract more wars. Do you think Long Zhong, Luo Xun, Luo Si, Bai Bai Will Lining, Xia Houren, and Situ Xin stand by and watch us kill the king and seize the throne? Don’t mention this kind of talk in the future, or the military law will be followed!”

Han Yuan was also furious, but Xiao Li forcibly held him down.

"My lord." Xiao Li's voice was still steady, "What should we do?"

"After withdrawing from Fanshu City, Xia Ye, please accept the order. From now on, you will be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"

Although Xia Ye is unwilling, but under my order, he can only take over the badges of the general and the commander, but kneels on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "The last general will be kept by the general for the time being, and the Imperial Forest Army will always be Li Xiaoyao's Imperial Forest Army." !"

...

Two hours later, Vulcan Mountain was filled with continuous transport teams and troops. The 7w+ members of the Yulin Army had already withdrawn from Fanshu City and camped temporarily at the foot of Vulcan Mountain.

Holding the long knife, Han Yuan asked, "General, what is your next plan?"

I looked in the direction of Bahuang City and said, "Liu Shuang in Cold Desolation Dragon City is my mentor, I will go to her, don't worry, I will be fine."

Han Yuan stared with a pair of tiger eyes: "It will be all right? Sir, do you know how much Luo Xun, Leisi, and Luo Si want you to die? The last general doesn't care, I will go wherever the general goes. I am amazing this imperial bird officer Lao Tzu Inappropriate!"

As he said that, Han Yuan threw Commander Wan's token to the ground, and said, "I want to go to Cold Desolate Dragon City and follow the general forever! Even if it's a mercenary or a rebel, I'm willing too! "

Xiao Li and Long Yan also almost threw away their badges together, saying: "We are also willing to follow the general, even if it is a heinous deserter!"

I shouted in a low voice: "Presumptuous, everyone doesn't want to live anymore?!"

As he said that, he bent down to pick up Han Yuan's badge on the ground, wiped the dirt on it, and said: "Don't forget your natural mission, you are soldiers, obey orders, and defending your home and country is what you should do thing."

Han Yuan said: "I don't care, I just want to follow the general to the cold and desolate dragon city. If the general doesn't give up, I'm willing to be a pawn. Anyway, we don't want to stay in the Imperial Forest Army without a general! The general disagrees, Just cut off my head, Han Yuan, with a single sword, and the last general will be considered loyal to the general!"

Xiao Li took a deep breath and said: "My lord, I have made up my mind, please stop talking."

I sighed: "Okay, then bring food, grass and luggage, and go with me to the cold and desolate Dragon City, there... there should be a place for us to live..."

...

In the end, to my surprise, besides Han Yuan, Xiao Li, and Long Yu, most of the generals and soldiers left the Imperial Forest Army, and the mighty army of 3w people left Vulcan Mountain with me. , I have mixed feelings in my heart, I am grateful for the loyalty of these npc troops, but feel that I am quite sorry for them.

Xia Ye was forced by me to stay in Vulcan Mountain to stabilize the overall situation, but we didn't carry any of the dragon crystal cannon, ballista, etc., so we marched from Fanshu City to Bahuang City in such a mighty way.

...

More than an hour later, the army turned over Meridian Mountain and entered the Fairy Trail.

The mighty crowd joined together, most of them were cavalry, and there were also many barbarians with shields in their hands who "defected" with me. The melancholy feeling of being abandoned by the empire, these guys are much more optimistic than me.

"Hoo hoo..."

The wind blew the jungle grass and lowered his head, but Xiao Li squinted his one eye and looked into the distance, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, there is an ambush!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The loud noise continued, and flame shock waves erupted in the crowd of the Imperial Forest Army. It was... the dragon crystal cannon!

...

"Damn it, they didn't want us to go back alive!" Han Yuan held the long knife and covered his eyes to resist the shock wave of the dragon crystal cannon. Staggering in the rather tragic strong wind, he roared angrily, "This time, the empire betrayed us!"
