In the afternoon of the same day, all the reinforcements from the Zhongbang fortress had arrived here. Except for some of the men and horses of the Southern Legion of Lori, which needed to be stationed in the Zhongbang Fortress, the other two legions were almost all dispatched, a total of one million troops, and they gathered here with great momentum.

Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane looked at the army gathered in front of them with satisfaction, and after examining it for a few laps, Lieutenant General Luo Ning opened his mouth and said to Commander Kane: "Tomorrow, we will start our journey. ”

In February 1998 of the imperial calendar, after the Tianlan Empire pursued the invading Sayi enemy army for hundreds of miles in the Sayy Zhongbang Fortress, it gathered an army of one million on the spot, and under the leadership of Lieutenant General Luo Ning, the army directly guided the direction and attacked the Sayi Empire.

Because of the previous defeat, the Say Empire did not do a good job of defending effectively. Therefore, in just one month, the Tianlan Army under the leadership of Lieutenant General Luo Ning took more than a dozen cities in a row, and almost instantly captured one-tenth of the territory of the Sayi Empire.

After being passively beaten for a month, the Say Empire finally summoned a large number of troops again and began to organize resistance to the fierce counterattack of the Tianlan Empire. But after all, it has been defeated repeatedly before, and at this time, the Say Empire can only blindly defend, and it is difficult to take the initiative to attack.

In such a good situation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not give the other party a chance to fight back. Always pressing step by step, the speed is not slowing down to encroach on the territory of the Say Empire. The war was fought from winter to spring, and under the continuous supply of materials from the rear of the Tianlan Empire, the Tianlan Army won all battles and marched forward bravely. When the spring was in full bloom and it was time for the sowing season, the Tianlan army had completely captured a quarter of the territory of the Sayy Empire and firmly established a foothold in the Sayy Empire.

Li Yi finally got the opportunity to shine in this expedition, and the Second Knights under his command also frequently won the first merits in various battles, and in just two months, Li Yi's combat exploits were almost accumulated to the point where he could be promoted. It's just that all the division commanders have made great achievements, and Li Yi is too young after all, so Li Yi is still just a small commander of the Second Knights.

After conquering another city, General Ronin finally ordered the current offensive to be suspended, and all the men rested to arrange the next step of the army.

"Hey, Luo Ning, I didn't say you, now is the right time, why don't you continue to fight, but rest and recuperate. The sons and daughters of the empire are not such useless things, and they are not too tired of this little war. After being given the notice to recuperate, Commander Kane was the first to find Lieutenant General Ronin and talk about his dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, Kane, on the battlefield, don't get carried away. Although we have overcome obstacles all the way and attacked the city, we have already moved away from our Tianlan Empire at this time. The Empire has also begun to take time and effort to deliver resources to us, and if we continue to be greedy, we may end up capsizing in some small gutter. Lieutenant General Ronin said with a smile, telling Commander Kane about his concerns.

Listening to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's explanation, Commander Kane also nodded in understanding, agreeing with Luo Ning's concerns.

"Besides, it's spring planting season. At that time, when the army was sent from the Empire, I did not expect that the war would be so smooth sailing. Now that we have obtained such a big bargain, it will be safer for us to wait a little longer for His Majesty to show us the next direction. Lieutenant General Ronin will continue to explain, hoping that Captain Kane will be able to distinguish the stakes.

"Uh-huh." The commander of the Kane Legion nodded frequently, and did not argue with Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

While the two commanders were chatting, a guard outside the big tent suddenly reported: "Report to the general, there is an envoy from the imperial capital who asks to see you." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning looked at Commander Kane beside him with a smile, and then said: "Just now I was still talking about waiting for instructions from the imperial capital, but I didn't expect this to be a letter, it seems that Your Majesty has sent people to keep an eye on the war here." ”

"That's natural, after all, this is also a great achievement in opening up the territory, Your Majesty has experienced many winds and waves, and it is impossible to ignore this side at this time." Commander Kane also replied with a smile, and then without waiting for Lieutenant General Luo Ning to speak, he ordered the imperial capital envoy outside the door to come in quickly.

After a long time of being ordered to go out, the messenger outside the door lifted the curtain and entered.

After seeing the comer clearly, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane in the big tent were shocked, neither of them expected that the envoy of the imperial capital would be the person in front of them.

"It turned out that the second prince arrived, and the old minister was busy with military affairs, so he didn't go out to greet him in person before, and I hope the prince will forgive me." Unexpectedly, the envoy would be Prince Kevin, and after Lieutenant General Luo Ning saw his face clearly, he hurriedly made a symbolic reparation.

"Hehe, the old general, this is too polite. You and Captain Kane are great heroes of the Empire, so you don't have to be so vain. Prince Kevin was still polite, and he didn't put on a princely posture at this time.

"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the minister should have obeyed it. I don't know if the second prince came here to bring any instructions from His Majesty. After Captain Kane saw Prince Kevin, he also asked with a smile.

"This time I came here, I did bring some arrangements from my father."

"What are your Majesty's instructions now?" Lieutenant General Luo Ning hurriedly asked.

"After my father received the information before, I felt that at this time, our Tianlan army was about to go deep into the hinterland of the Sayi Empire, so I hope that the two generals can temporarily stop the offensive and recuperate, and then arrange the future battle. Unexpectedly, the two generals had already thought of this, and it seemed that the father was a little worried about this. Prince Kevin said with a smile, first flattering the two people in front of him without leaving a trace.

"Your Majesty is not too worried, you should really take a rest at this time, I also just gave an order, it is estimated that if the second prince comes a day earlier, this order will have to be given by you."

"Let's not be polite about this for now, Second Prince, has Your Majesty decided whether we should stop the army and hold on to the territory we have now, or continue to attack after resting and completely breaking the defense of the Sayy Empire." Seeing the flattery of Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Prince Kevin, Commander Kane didn't have that patience, and he wasn't worried that he would annoy Prince Kevin, so he interrupted the questioning of the two and eagerly asked King Tianlan about the arrangements after this battle.

Prince Kevin was indeed not annoyed by being interrupted from the conversation, and in the face of Captain Kane's question, the second prince still replied in an orderly manner: "What Father means is that this opportunity is rare in a hundred years, and if you give it up now, you will definitely regret it later." Therefore, the emperor decided that the troops should rest in place for half a month, and wait for the imperial side to prepare more adequate backup materials for the army, and then we will continue to attack and attack Huanglong. ”

"Well, that's right. Your Majesty really has the courage to do so, the immediate interests are just small profits, waiting for the complete takedown of the Sayi Empire, that is the day when our Tianlan Empire will truly dominate. After hearing Prince Kevin's affirmative reply, Captain Kane said excitedly.

"And." Unexpectedly, Prince Kevin's words were not finished, interrupting the excited words of Captain Kane, Prince Kevin spoke again and prepared to continue.

"What's more, second prince, what arrangements are there in the imperial capital, just ask for it." The captain of the Kane Legion said with a grin.

"What's more, my father is preparing for this imperial expedition, and it is estimated that in ten days, my father will lead another 500,000 soldiers and horses to support, and then personally command and directly attack the Sayi Empire." Prince Kevin said quietly, seemingly careless, but threw such a bombshell.

"Your Majesty is going to go on a personal expedition?" Hearing the news of Prince Kevin, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane were both surprised, and at the same time asked in surprise.

Seeing the surprised look of the two in front of him, Prince Kevin still maintained his princely demeanor. Just smiled, then nodded affirmatively.

"It seems that Your Majesty has really moved this time, and if you can't completely destroy the Sayy Empire, Your Majesty will probably swear not to give up." Captain Kane said in a low voice, now he is still digesting the news brought by Prince Kevin.

"Yes, with Your Majesty personally supervising the army, and Your Majesty will bring another 500,000 new troops in a few days, our Tianlan Empire has a good chance of winning this war. It seems that a few of our old bones will have to work harder, even if we can't really completely conquer the Sayi Empire, we will at least beat them this time, and then we will not have the strength to compete with our Tianlan Empire. General Luo Ning quickly accepted the news, and now began to think about the battle after King Tianlan arrived at the front line.

"The two generals don't have to be too surprised, my father also said when he was in the imperial capital, he just wants to open up the territory for my Tianlan Empire again in his lifetime, so that after death, he can also be famous for a hundred years."

"What did the second prince say, Your Majesty, his old man is very strong, and he will definitely be able to live for a long time." Although as a prince, he can speak directly about the life and death of the king, but as courtiers, Luo Ning and Kane dare not continue to talk about this topic.

Prince Kevin only smiled at Captain Kane's words, and did not continue. After inquiring about the current battle situation in the big tent, Prince Kevin took his leave, preparing to go out of the camp to inspect the military appearance of the Tianlan Empire's expeditionary army this time.

After Prince Kevin walked out of the big tent, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane looked at each other for a long time, and after being silent for a while, Lieutenant General Luo Ning slowly spoke: "It seems that this expedition is really going to die. ”

"Well, it's been a long time since there has been a head-to-head duel between the two hegemon-level empires in the Shengyuan Continent. This time, there will definitely be a river of blood. Captain Kane's face was no longer as relaxed as before, remembering that after the king came to the front, the next battle would be difficult.

Not to mention the worries of the two generals in the big tent, not long after Prince Kevin walked out of the big tent, he found the person he was looking for next to the big tent of the Chinese army - Li Yi.

At this time, Li Yi was playing wrestling with his cavalry with a relaxed face, and he had a lot of fun. At the same time, facing five soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, Li Yi can still cope with it easily. And Alice is also eager to try it on the side, and has the intention of going on the field to face off against these soldiers and ruffians.

Prince Kevin smiled and leaned over to the wall of the soldiers besieging the city, and began to watch comfortably.

At this time, Li Yi was wrestling with the soldiers, and he didn't notice Prince Kevin, who was dressed in brocade among a group of shirtless men.

It wasn't until everyone decided the winner that Li Yi touched the sweat on his face and raised his head to see Prince Kevin who was outside the crowd, smiling and watching.

"Hehe, Brother Li is really interested, in this case, he is still in the mood to wrestle with the soldiers for fun." Seeing that Li Yi had discovered himself, Prince Kevin slowly walked into the crowd and joked with Li Yi.

"When did Brother Kevin come, he didn't say hello." Li Yi was playing energetically just now, so now he forgot about those courtesies, and just asked with a big grin.

"I just arrived, and after talking to General Luo Ning for a while, I came out and saw you wrestling here. It's noisy, so let's find a quiet place to talk. As soon as the imperial capital was farewell, we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Prince Kevin suggested with a smile.

Li Yi nodded in agreement, took the clothes handed over by Alice, and the three of them walked into Li Yi's group leader's tent.

"What? Your Majesty is ready to go on a personal expedition? As soon as he walked into the big tent and talked for a few words, Li Yi was also taken aback by the news brought by Prince Kevin.

Prince Kevin had also guessed the effect of his news, and Lieutenant General Luo Ning had also reacted in this way before, so at this time, Prince Kevin still didn't speak, and still looked at Li Yi with a calm look and smiled.

"Oh, Your Majesty, his old man is really able to toss, I guess I'm bored in the imperial capital, and I want to bring the army here to play with me." Alice still looked nervous, and after hearing the news, Alice was able to say such a thing.

Hearing Alice's remarks, Li Yi and Prince Kevin were both stunned, and then laughed at the same time, Alice is really a pistachio, and when she said this kind of serious thing, she lost the taste of nervousness.

"Don't make a fuss, why did Your Majesty come here because he was bored. You treat war as a game like you. Because Prince Kevin was in front of him, Li Yi was angry and "taught" Alice.

"Hehe, just kidding. I just don't know how your majesty is skilled, he is so old man, can he stand the fatigue of our carriage. Alice was not annoyed by Li Yi's tone of speech, and after joking, she asked calmly.

"Thank you Alice for worrying, my father was also a cultivator when he was young, and in terms of body, he coped with the fatigue of the war, which was more than enough." Prince Kevin said politely.

"Brother Kevin, when will Your Majesty come?"

"In about ten days, my father will arrive with 500,000 reinforcements and a large number of supplies."

"Oh, so to speak, in the future war, our Tianlan Empire will have to fight if it can be fought, and if it can't, it will have to be fought." Hearing the news that King Tianlan was preparing to drive the expedition in person, Li Yi's first reaction was the same as that of Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

Hearing Li Yi's guess, Prince Kevin didn't speak, but just smiled bitterly, confirming Li Yi's conjecture.

After that, the three of them did not continue the topic, but talked about some other things.

Ten days later, Tianlan really rushed to the forefront of the Tianlan army at this time as Prince Kevin said, and the 500,000 reserve soldiers led by Tianlan Army rushed to the forefront of the Tianlan army at this time and began his imperial expedition.

That night, under the auspices of King Tianlan, the highest military meeting of the Tianlan Army in this war was held in the Chinese army tent of King Tianlan. The officers attending the meeting were all at the lowest level above the division commander level, and Li Yi was also fortunate to participate in the meeting because of his previous combat exploits.
