"I said Luo Ning, we two brothers haven't seen each other for five or six years. In particular, this kind of joint operation between corps has not been experienced in 20 years. Although the strength of the Yanlong Legion has not undergone much attrition, after all, compared to the Sayi Empire back then, they are completely out of fashion. There are no millions of lions to mobilize, no saint-level powerhouse monarch to sit in, and no giant bunker like the Seine King City to defend it. It was only a matter of time before the Yanlong Legion was defeated by the iron heel of our Tianlan Empire's army. The situation is so clear, why should you look worried since you called the Seine King's City? In the vast battle hall of the City Lord's Mansion, at this time, Commander Kane was sitting on the chair with a relaxed look, looking at Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who was staring at the battle map, and teasing in a relaxed tone.
Hearing the words of his old friend, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally took his eyes off the combat map. Looking at Kane, who was sitting beside him, without the momentum of a superior person, Lieutenant General Luo Ning frowned tightly at first. But then, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and didn't say anything.
This time, after the Tianlan Empire received the news that the Yanlong Legion was preparing to use troops against the Senna Royal City, Kevin, as the new king of the Tianlan Empire, immediately summoned Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who had been guarding near the imperial capital, to him as soon as possible. After a night of deep talk with Lieutenant General Luo Ning, the Tianlan Empire finally made its final choice.
That is, they can no longer let the Yanlong Legion continue to sit on the throne, since they already know that the current rulers of the Yanlong Legion are the remnants of the Sai Empire back then, and they do not have the idea of developing the southern realm of Sayi with peace of mind, they even dare to use troops against the Tianlan Empire. Such a situation made Emperor Kevin have to re-examine the Yanlong Legion.
Before Kevin ascended the throne, the old king of the Tianlan Empire also had a deep talk with Kevin the Great. As the new monarch of the empire, Kevin is no longer the fledgling little prince he was back then. When the old king of the Tianlan Empire passed the throne to Prince Kevin, he told Kevin about the rules of supreme force in an empire.
Therefore, Kevin, who has just taken office, is also very worried about the current situation of the Tianlan Empire.
Although the king of the Tianlan Empire is a saint-level powerhouse, because of him, the current Tianlan Empire can still control so many territories with confidence. But after all, the king of the Tianlan Empire is already old, and as a top cultivator, he also wants to be able to take his strength to the next level, as long as he can reach the god-level realm, then the regime of the Tianlan Empire can truly stabilize.
But at the same time, the Tianlan Empire is also making second-hand preparations. That is, among the royal family of the Tianlan Empire, there is also a prince with a very outstanding cultivation talent. This prince is Kevin's older brother, Walker. However, it was precisely because this prince's cultivation talent was very outstanding that the old king of the Tianlan Empire deprived him of the right to inherit the throne.
The king of the Tianlan Empire had been fighting with other empires on the Shengyuan Continent for too many years, either openly or covertly, so he deeply understood that if an empire could not always have at least one saint-level powerhouse in charge, then this empire should not be able to have the title of empire after losing the protection of a saint-level powerhouse.
So when Walker was eight years old, he was out of sight. Under the teaching of the old king of the Tianlan Empire, he cultivated wholeheartedly without listening to things outside the window.
Now that decades have passed, after the old king of the Tianlan Empire gave up the throne because of his advanced age, this junior with the highest talent in the royal family has quietly cultivated into an old man in his fifties.
After decades of cultivation, Walker is now at the seventh-level high level of strength. With this talent of his, and the strength he has now. Walker's desire to advance to the realm of the Sage in the future is not empty talk.
So it was precisely because of this that the king of the Tianlan Empire dared to pass the throne to Kevin. He knew that he wouldn't die for at least twenty years. And with these twenty years of development, Walker may also be able to advance to the realm of the Sage.
In this way, the Tianlan Empire will have at least another hundred years of luck. Being able to do this, the old king of the Tianlan Empire can be regarded as worthy of his ancestors.
After arranging everything, the old king of the Tianlan Empire finally recalled Walker from his cultivation place, so that he could assist Kevin in governing the Tianlan Empire with peace of mind. Then this old king, who had dominated the Shengyuan Continent for nearly a hundred years, finally disappeared from people's sight completely, and went to a place that seemed extremely dangerous to outsiders, and was ready to concentrate on cultivation there. If one day he can advance to the god-level realm, then the Tianlan Empire will become even stronger because of his existence.
The place where the old king of the Tianlan Empire was going was the place where Walker had been cultivating for nearly thirty years.
This place is not unfamiliar to Li Yi. Because, the place where the old king is going is the place where Li Yi just came out - the Mountains of the Dead.
It is because he knows so many secrets that after Emperor Kevin ascended the throne, although he already knew the situation of the Yanlong Legion, he knew that the ruler of the Yanlong Legion had a deep blood feud with the Tianlan Empire.
But after all, at that time, Emperor Kevin didn't think that the Yanlong Legion would be arrogant, thinking that they would dare to provoke the authority of the Tianlan Empire with their current strength. In Kevin's consciousness, even if the Yanlong Legion wanted to attack the Tianlan Empire, it would be at least a few decades later.
But now, after the news of the Yanlong Legion's attack on the Seine Royal City reached the imperial capital, Emperor Kevin finally couldn't sit still.
He didn't want to clean up the Yanlong Legion, just because his father had told him not to start disputes when it wasn't very necessary. After all, the place where the old king of the Tianlan Empire was going was very unrealistic for his kind of strength, and it was very unrealistic to want to come and go freely. Although if the Tianlan Empire really faced the catastrophe of annihilation, he would still be able to come out. But when he was leaving, he still hoped that Emperor Kevin would be able to settle down. Before his brother is really strong, it's better not to be too arrogant.
Don't look at the Tianlan Empire, which is a giant-like existence on the Shengyuan Continent, as long as he moves his body, the entire continent will be vibrate. But in reality, as the ruler of an empire. He knew very well that on this road, the strength of the empire was nothing more than a joke in the eyes of those really powerful ancient families.
If he accidentally offended a certain Gulai family because he acted too arrogantly, then no matter how strong the Tianlan Empire was, there would be no good fruit to eat.
But after all, this time it was the Yanlong Legion that made the first move, and the Tianlan Empire had no intention of going south to use troops against the Yanlong Legion, but they didn't know whether they were alive or dead and started the war against the Tianlan Empire first.
In the face of this situation, if Emperor Kevin, as the newly enthroned king, still blindly tolerated it, then maybe his people would think that this young king was a coward, so that the prestige of the royal family would have greatly declined among the people.
It was based on these considerations that Emperor Kevin finally gave the order and decided to attack the Yanlong Legion after discussing with Lieutenant General Luo Ning all night. This time, the Tianlan Empire will gather a million male soldiers like it did twenty years ago, and directly overwhelm the Yanlong Legion with absolute superiority. Let these remnants of the Say Empire, who should have disappeared in this world, leave this world completely.
In this regard, as a figure at the level of the god of war of the Tianlan Empire, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not have too much support for this war.
The old general's worries are not the same as Kevin's, what he is worried about is that after these twenty years of continuous war, although the Tianlan Empire now looks much stronger than twenty years ago. The number of soldiers in the army has not decreased compared to twenty years ago, and the attitude of the people towards the conquest of the Yanlong Legion is very supportive.
But as a king, what he can't take into account, Lieutenant General Luo Ning can take into account.
Because of the wars over the years, in fact, the Tianlan Empire is about to be dragged into an empty shell. Although the Atlantan Empire in the north of the empire did not have a major war with the Tianlan Empire, it was constantly harassed in the past twenty years, so that the Tianlan Empire could only permanently station a large number of troops in the north of the empire. These armies were not allowed to participate in farming in their spare time because of the possibility of war at any time.
And although there are constant wars on the south side of Said, as their biggest enemy, the Tianlan Empire also has to guard against the South Sayi border. Therefore, in terms of the royal city of Seine, it is necessary to garrison troops all year round.
In this way, the military expenditure of the Tianlan Empire is really much more than that of twenty years ago. Therefore, the current Tianlan Empire has almost reached the point where it cannot make ends meet.
This time, the Tianlan Empire is ready to completely wipe out the Yanlong Legion, although it is not difficult to gather a million appropriate troops, but the supply of the army has become the biggest problem now.
However, Emperor Kevin the Great had already made a lot of determination for this expedition, so seeing that it could not be stopped, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only support the overall situation.
I thought that after arriving at the Seine Royal City, I would discuss it with my old comrades-in-arms, and maybe I would be able to negotiate a solution. But when he saw the appearance of his old friend Commander Kane, whom he hadn't seen for five or six years, Lieutenant General Luo Ning was already completely disappointed.
Because of the accumulation of military exploits, the Kane Legion has long become the real power in the empire. So after becoming famous, Captain Kane no longer has the fighting spirit of the year. Looking at his current appearance, Lieutenant General Luo Ning was even skeptical. Mo said that he let him personally kill the enemy, even if he was asked to hide in the big tent and command the troops, Lieutenant General Luo Ning doubted that it would tire him up.
Helplessly glancing at Kane again, Lieutenant General Luo Ning put down his long whip, and while pacing, he secretly said in his heart: "Alas, how should this battle be fought." ”
Looking at the Commander Kane beside him, who was still blindly holding a winning attitude towards this war, Lieutenant General Luo Ning shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Everyone in the world thinks that the current Tianlan Empire is the absolute overlord of the Shengyuan Continent, as long as there is anyone who opposes us, it will inevitably be wiped out under our thunderous revenge." But if you don't know the hardships of being in charge, how can outsiders know about the current predicament of the Tianlan Empire. ”
Thinking of this, Ronin couldn't help but glance at Kane again. I thought that when I met this old friend again, I could complain to this old friend, and the two of them would get together to discuss more, and maybe they would be able to find a solution to the problem. But when Ronin saw Kane again, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Back then, Kane, in the Tianlan Empire, and even in the Shengyuan Continent, was a powerful figure. With good force and changeable combat style, his enemies were troubled.
But this time when he met Kane, Luo Ning was surprised to find that it had only been five or six years, and Captain Kane had not only been seriously blessed, but even Lieutenant General Luo Ning found after careful investigation that Captain Kane's current strength had also slipped to the realm of fourfold. If this trend continues, not to mention that this Kane will reshape the majesty of the past, it is unknown whether his current position can be maintained.
After secretly lamenting the depravity of his old friend, Luo Ning knew that everyone had their own choice. If Kane had been seen a few years earlier, maybe Ronin could have persuaded him bitterly. But now that Kane has reached such a field, Lieutenant General Luo Ning can only watch a general star of the empire gradually decline.
After sighing with emotion, Lieutenant General Luo Ning set his eyes on the combat map that he had been staring at closely. This time, the Tianlan Empire has really made a bloody investment. Although the empire's finances are already in deficit, in order to be able to send troops to recruit the Yanlong Legion. The Tianlan Empire has raised several layers of taxes, and has also collected a lot of money, grain and grass from the nobles in various places. After overcoming all kinds of difficulties, the Tianlan Empire was able to gather the salaries for this million army, and now the Tianlan army gathered in the Seine King City has the opportunity to send troops.
But despite the best efforts of the Tianlan Empire, the military salary scraped together was still not enough for Luo Ning to squander. As long as there is a chance, Lieutenant General Luo Ning still hopes that this battle can be resolved quickly, as long as the Yanlong Legion is quickly defeated under the huge oppression of the Tianlan Empire, the Tianlan Empire will not have to face the dilemma that the soldiers may not be able to eat.
But as a battle-hardened marshal, Lieutenant General Luo Ning can quickly resolve this war, but he doesn't have much confidence in it.
It is true that the Tianlan Empire has gathered millions of troops in the Seine King City for this conquest. The number of these millions alone is enough to pose a huge threat to the Yanlong Legion. Lieutenant General Luo Ning knew that although the war had not yet started, the morale of the current troops in the Yanlong Legion had been greatly affected by the various actions of the Tianlan Empire.
And before that, it was the Yanlong Legion that started the battle first, but because of the solidity of the Seine King City, it had to collect its troops and return to the south of Said. All the signs before the start of the war showed that the advantages of the war were now all in the hands of the Tianlan Empire.
However, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not underestimate the Yanlong Legion because of this, he knew that this legion force, which seemed impossible to compete with the Tianlan Empire now, was weak everywhere and had already been defeated first. However, in the chaos of the southern border of Sai in these years, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, as the supreme commander of the Tianlan Empire, knows it very clearly.
And it was in this chaotic environment that the Yanlong Legion was able to emerge in it, fighting for twenty years, and finally integrating the chaotic southern realm of Said. With this ability, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had to raise the Yanlong Legion to a position that could be compared to the Tianlan Empire.
