Chapter 372: The Treants

The palace marshal who commanded the forbidden army, Qian Bai suddenly pulled out half of his long sword, and his eyes were cold: "Xing Chu Gong, don't you insist on going your own way, my 700,000 forbidden army is afraid that you will not succeed in White Deer City?" ”

Lin Xingchu sneered: "Qianshuai, you are just a palace marshal, Emperor Xia once said that generals are not allowed to discuss the government without permission, what kind of onion are you, dare to talk to me here and go your own way?" ”

In terms of status, the two grand dukes of Xingchu and Tianmu are the pillars of the Xia Empire, and the four palace marshals are just minions, to put it bluntly, and they are indeed far from being comparable in status.

"Xingchu Gongda, don't be angry."

At this moment, an old voice came, coming from an old man with a cane, although he was old, he was still wearing a military uniform, and a line of words was on top of his head-

【Tianmu Gong Xiyang】(Boss NPC)

Grade:???

Introduction: Xiyang, the lord of Tianfeng City, the head of the Xi family in the south, rules the territory of thousands of miles, and is one of the two pillars of the Xia Empire

……

Xiyang's eyes were full of old spiciness, and he said with a smile: "The eldest prince is loyal and benevolent, the little prince is young, and the establishment of the eldest son is also the traditional rule of the Xia clan, there is nothing to fight for, but it is a matter of regent, although the regent has transgressed, but it is also for the sake of the prosperity of my Xia clan, according to the old man's humble opinion, the regent can continue to be regent, but only the consul general political affairs, all wars and military affairs, should be decided by the Duke of Xingchu and the four palace marshals." ”

Lin Xingchu frowned.

Fengyu whispered in my ear: "Tianmu Gong, this old fox, doesn't have much ability, but his kung fu to muddy the waters is first-class. ”

I was surprised, lowered my voice and asked, "Why is Tianmu Gong incapable?" ”

"Hmph."

The corners of Fengyu's mouth were faintly disdainful, and he said: "The Southern Xi family has ruled Tianfeng City for thousands of years, and it is deeply rooted, and Tianmu Gong is just relying on the blessing of his ancestors, plus his own old scheming, so he barely stood his ground in the troubled times, and Lin Xingchu is called a pillar stone, but Lin Xingchu is different, she followed her father Lin Shuai to join the army at the age of seventeen, fought for more than ten years, quelled the rebellion in the east, repelled the northern savage tribes several times, and her prestige in the imperial army, Xingchu Gong was unyielding, if it weren't for the fear that her prestige was too high, I'm afraid that after Emperor Xia died in battle, the south would have rebelled long ago. ”

I took a deep breath: "I didn't expect it...... There are so many undercurrents. ”

"Lots of it~~~"

……

Lin Xing Chu'e frowned slightly, as if he was already planning to make concessions, and said, "In that case, please ask Your Majesty to ascend the throne first!" ”

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

The ministers knelt down one after another.

I stood behind Mingyue Pool, a group of people from the Dragon Domain seemed to stand out from the crowd, none of them knelt down, but just watched indifferently as the new Xia Emperor ascended the throne and became emperor.

Luo Shuai's voice was old, and he began to read out the edict, thanking heaven and earth and the like, and the ceremony was completed, and the ministers knelt down again, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Emperor Xia ascended the throne, what is the initiation, you can tell it." One of the guards shouted.

Lin Xingchu immediately got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although the imperial capital Xingqi City is the top priority, it is too wasteful for the forbidden army to defend the imperial capital with 700,000 troops, and now the war in the north is tight, and the Purgatory Legion, the Savage Army, and the Abyss Legion are all coveted from time to time, so ...... Please ask Your Majesty to send 400,000 forbidden troops to the northern border, and there are 300,000 forbidden troops to defend the imperial capital, which is enough! ”

"Xing Chu Gong!"

The commander of the forbidden army, Qian Bai, frowned: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you want to weaken the military power under Your Majesty's personal command, what is your intention?" ”

Lin Xingchu smiled: "For me, the most important thing for the Xia clan is to face the Northern Purgatory Legion, this is the top priority, compared to Gongwei Imperial Capital, once the northern defense line is breached, it will be the destruction of the country and the family, the Purgatory Legion is strong, could it be that Qianshuai wants to let White Deer City a lonely city to resist a powerful enemy?" ”

Qianbai turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, please decide!" ”

Xia Emperor Lu Hui frowned: "What Xingchu Gong said is reasonable, if the north is breached, my Xia clan will face a catastrophe, just follow what Xingchu Gong said, transfer half of the forbidden army, and hand it over to Xingchu Gong to command to resist the army of the dead in the north!" ”

"Yes...... Your Majesty......"

Qianbai's heart is dripping blood.

Lin Xingchu continued: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of materials in the north, and this year is another cold winter, many winter crops have not been harvested, but the wind and rain are smooth in the south, so the minister asks for ......."

"Xing Chu Gong."

Tianmu Gong squinted his eyes and smiled, "You don't plan to let Tianfeng City send troops to the north to fight the Purgatory Legion, right?" My soldiers in the south are accustomed to smoke and rain, and once they go to the bitter cold land in the north, they will probably be unaccustomed to the soil and water, and they will be full of diseases, and at that time, they will become a drag on the Duke of Xingchu. ”

Lin Xingchu smiled: "The Grand Duke is too worried, I don't want the Xi family's generals, I just ask the Xi family to allocate 500,000 stone grain and grass to deliver to Bailu City every year, in addition, it would be better to allocate tens of millions of gold." ”

"Tianmu Gong, soldier, big event."

Xia Huang Lu Hui nodded: "Do it." ”

Xiyang gritted his teeth and said, "The old minister obeys." ”

Lin Xingchu continued: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, everything needs to start from scratch, Your Majesty's thoughtfulness is also extremely important, the minister has trained a Yu Linwei over the years, five thousand people, skilled bows and horses, each armor is enough to be ten, the minister is willing to give Yu Linwei to Your Majesty, as a gift to the throne, Your Majesty can arrange the position of Yu Linwei's commander, deputy commander, etc., and the minister will never interfere." ”

Emperor Xia was overjoyed: "Okay, I need a strong army to serve as a guard in the imperial city. ”

"Yes!"

……

Mingyuechi looked at me with a faint gaze, and laughed in a low voice: "Enthronement ceremony, is it fun?" ”

"It's not fun at all."

I said stupidly: "Xing Chu Gong is so strong, it feels like a battlefield for her alone." ”

"yes."

Mingyuechi pursed her red lips and said, "In the face of such a chaotic situation, Xing Chu Gong can only cut through the chaos quickly, if you don't have such courage, I'm afraid it will really be chaotic." ”

"Hmm."

I glanced at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "I prefer the Dragon Domain to the deceit here, I take a resolute stance and speak with strength." ”

Mingyue Chi Wan'er smiled: "Okay, the major event of the imperial capital has been decided, let's return to the Dragon Domain." ”

"Hmm!"

……

Not long after returning to the Dragon Domain, before Mingyuechi could sit down at his desk, a dragon knight broke into the command hall with a spear, looking hurried, and said, "Lord Yuechi, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Sentinel has just discovered an army of Treants that is moving towards Dragon City, the number is about more than 100,000, and many of the Treants are already over twenty meters tall and can ride directly onto our city walls!"

"Treants?"

Mingyue Chi frowned lightly and said, "Hasn't the Treant Clan been hiding in the lush woods of the Lost Plains all along? Why did you suddenly come to our Dragon City. ”

"My subordinates don't know."

"Pass the order down and prepare for war!"

"Yes!"

Mingyuechi lifted the Dragon Slaying Sword on the side, glanced at me, and said, "It's going to be a war again, come with me to fight against the Treants, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

I nodded, the next mission has already come, and it's still a main quest-

"Ding!"

System Prompt: You have accepted the quest [Fight Back the Treants] (S Rank β˜…)!

Content: Assist the Dragons in defeating the Treant attack, and you will receive a very generous reward after completing the mission, but if you fail, you will suffer double the punishment!

Damn, there is still this kind of reasoning, and the failure of the mission should be punished?

But after thinking about it, once it fails, the Treants capture the Dragon Domain, which is the biggest punishment.

Summoned the cold iron horse, followed the bright moon pool to the outside of the dragon city hall, only to see that the avenue outside was full of dust, and countless dragon domain armor warriors flocked to the dragon city wall in the north, the bright moon pool jumped and landed on the dragon back of the holy white dragon, and rushed to the north with wind and spirit feathers, and I, as a ground knight, could only spur the cold iron horse to chase all the way from the ground.

In the middle of the gallop, he found a white horse, and the acquaintance who was riding on the white horse, Shen Qiubai, he was actually there.

Shen Qiubai also saw me, and immediately snorted coldly: "You also took this task?" ”

"yes."

I smiled slightly: "We...... Fighting side by side? ”

The corners of Shen Qiubai's mouth twitched, and he turned his head and rushed towards the city wall farther away, unwilling to guard the same territory with me, or if I saw him, I would feel a little annoying.

……

The cold iron horse rushed all the way up the city wall, raised his front hooves and led me to stand up, it was this signature action again, the sunset reflected our figure on the city wall, particularly powerful, and just when I opened my eyes to look at the north, I couldn't help but be startled, the north was a white and snowy area before, but today is different, it is actually shrouded in a piece of green, just a tree man slowly moving forward, the appearance is no different from the big tree, just a light pole, the legs move slowly, the head has a pair of eyes, looked directly at the dragon domain armor warriors on the city wall.

In front of me, it was like a whole forest moving, a sea of trees, terrifying!

"Huh~~~"

Mingyue Chi harnessed the Holy White Dragon, rushing down from the city wall like a white horse, overlooking a group of tree people, and a sweet voice echoed in the air: "Tree people, what is the purpose of coming to my Dragon Domain?!" ”

In the sea of tree people, a tree man who was quite old raised his head, looked at the bright moon pool in the air, and said, "The earth ...... Corrupted by death, the Treants are in danger, this is a treasure land, and the Treants should recuperate here. ”

"You're here to recuperate?"

Mingyue Chi raised his eyebrows: "Then what should we do in the Dragon Domain?" ”

"Back to the south, back to where the Terrans should be." Elder Treant's words were a little unreasonable.

Mingyuechi smiled indifferently: "Hearing you say that, the Treant Clan wants to attack the Dragon Domain?" ”

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sturdy young tree man suddenly swing his branch arm and throw a stalagmite with a radius of at least two meters towards the Bright Moon Pool in the air.

"Brush!"

The sound of breaking the wind is extremely sharp, and sure enough, the person who came is not good.
