Chapter 803: A Last Battle
Once again, he forcibly rejected the Longyuan Empire, and war was about to break out!
Less than half an hour after the envoy of the Longyuan Empire returned, a letter of arrows was shot under the city of Huoye, and on the arrow was a letter of war, agreeing to take the sun as the standard, and the decisive battle at noon!
Long Si couldn't help laughing when he looked at this war letter, "It's really old-fashioned, this way of declaring war a hundred years ago is still used, the empire has not fought for too long, and even the generals are sluggish, huh...... Huh?"
Suddenly, Long Si was slightly stunned, there was still a payment in the corner of this war book, "I didn't expect the eldest prince to actually go on the expedition! Just now I was thinking about who will conquer us this time." β
"Great Prince, a very powerful fellow?" asked Tian Xian.
"No......" Ryusi still smiled, "The eldest prince is frail and sickly, although he is the eldest son, he has lost the right to inherit the throne shortly after birth, and the medical officer said that he will not live to be thirty years old. β
"Such a person is still coming to the war?"
"It's not surprising, the monarch himself starred in a rebellion and made the princes and princesses fight each other, what else is there to wonder about such a country. β
Tian Xian couldn't speak.
"I'm afraid it's also because of this rebellion, all the princes and princesses have realized that a leisurely life of brocade clothes and jade food is impossible, as the heirs of the empire, there is no other way to go except to compete with all their might, so the eldest prince will go on the expedition, he has already entered a life of cultivation and does not show up much. β
Tian Xian couldn't help but shake his head, "Even if you are the heir of the empire, you don't need to be forced to this extent, right? There are so many countries on this continent, there is no one like the Longyuan Empire, the Longyuan Emperor is ...... He's just crazy!"
Long Si glanced at Tianxian and looked away, "Every generation of the Great Emperor of Longyuan is crazy, this madness is reflected in the battlefield during the war years, and the ...... in the peace years Who knows what else he's going to do?"
"Could it be that the previous generation of emperors turned a blind eye to this?" Tianxian still remembered that old man with white hair but full of spirits, he should be a very kind person, how could he watch the heirs of the empire kill each other?
Long Si dropped the battle letter, and suddenly hid his face and laughed, "My Grand Duke...... You always make me speechless like this, I really don't know how you have survived with such a character until now, do you think that the last emperor was a kind old man?"
"I've seen him, he shouldn't be a crazy person like the current emperor!"
"If he is a kind old man, how can he leave the empire to a madman to rule, and still live freely in the empire ruled by a madman?"
The day is idle for a while.
"Viciousness is a necessary quality for Emperor Longyuan! No matter what generation it is, many things are ...... It's just that you don't see it. Long Si sighed, "You better learn these power techniques, after all, you are the one who wants to rule the country in the future, and your subordinates will not be as desperate as me, they can only give you their lives, and many times you need to be calculating to control them." β
Looking at Tianxian, Long Si shrugged his shoulders, "It's also in vain to say this to you, when you can dance the power technique, it may be the end of the world." β
Patting Tianxian on the shoulder, Long Si grinned a big smile, "So, you can rely on me, don't worry about handing over all the land to me! I'll take care of it for you, huh...... I'm always on your side, don't doubt me. β
Tian Xian was helpless, "Then I'll thank you first......"
Before he finished speaking, Long Si interrupted Tian Xian's words, "Besides me, the person who said these words to you again is a usurper, remember?"
"Usurper?"
Nodding, Long Si was very satisfied with Tian Xian's surprised expression, took a step back, straightened his body and said, "You just need to remember and trust me forever." β
Tian Xian scratched his head, "You said a lot, just to emphasize this?"
"What, aren't you satisfied?" Ryusi's eyes flashed dangerously.
"No, I mean, it's not taken for granted?"
"Oh...... I see, huh...... Well, I'll give you a little appreciation for your judgment. β
"Your identity has been exposed, there is nowhere to go, let alone return to the empire, you can only work here with peace of mind, if you leave, you don't even know the wild vegetables, you will starve to death in a few days, and ......"
"Oh......" Ryusi's eyebrows jumped twice, "I see......"
"Uh...... I'm just like, what are you doing with your sleeves?"
A few minutes later, Long Si appeared at the door of the town hall with a solemn face, and Ling just ran over from the Hangu Tower, "Where is that bastard? The Imperial Army seems to be moving, and it seems that it is about to attack in advance." β
"Oh...... You might be checking the enemy at the city gate. β
"The City Gate...... I just saw him on the terrace. Ling was puzzled.
"Hmm...... Delusion!" Long Si grabbed Ling, "I'll go with you to find it, I just have something to discuss with him." β
"Oh, that's good...... Why is there blood on your hands?"
"I accidentally scratched it. β
"Like...... Not yours. β
"Let's go, let's go!!"
After Long Si and Ling walked away, Tian Xian got up on the terrace and touched his bruised face, feeling just one word, pain.
Why is this woman so moody?
Tian Xian lamented in his heart, Long Si is a practitioner, and it doesn't hurt much if someone like Luna starts to hit his body, but Long Si's mixed dragon strength is really not bragging, I'm afraid that even a steel plate can be pierced by her.
I don't know which unlucky man will marry such a woman in the future......
The army of the Longyuan Empire did not attack in advance, but it was not without action, and when there were still at least two hours before noon, the imperial cavalry was already lined up, and the black and overwhelming military horses were lined up at the border of the desert, which looked magnificent from a distance.
The wind in the desert was dry and hot, and there was no cool breeze at the edge of the desert, and the sun was as hot as usual, and the fully armed soldiers were stuffed in their armor, as if they had been put into a tin steamer, and it was only a few minutes of work, and the sweat was already soaking through their clothes.
But not a single soldier moved, not even a single murmur, and the 100,000 troops were ready to gather momentum, waiting for the noon hour to strike at once.
The elves have already taken their place on the city wall, each elf archer has two quivers next to him, and one on his back, no one has three hundred arrows, once the battle starts, the incomparably accurate arrow rain will pour down on the heads of the cavalry of the Longyuan Empire.
Time passed little by little, noon was approaching, the air became hotter, and the Longyuan Empire's military camp began to exude a murderous aura, blowing towards Fire Leaf City in the hot wind of the desert.
Tian Xian appeared on the tower of the main gate of Fire Leaf City with everyone, looking at the 100,000 army from afar, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
Because of the war, all the merchants and tourists have been evacuated, and some of the residents who have been transported have also moved away for refuge temporarily, and the population of Huoye Chengnai is now less than 10,000, not even a tenth of the army on the other side.
"We're ready to go. "The little Sand King was not wearing armor, but stood on a wooden box in civilian clothes and looked out of the cityβshe was too short to see what was going on outside the battlements.
"There's no problem, right?" Tian Xian didn't ask Xiao Shawang, but asked Long Si.
Long Si didn't look at the bruises on Tian Xian's face, as if it had nothing to do with her, "No problem, as long as it goes according to the plan, you can repel them without using the formation, I know the weakness of the imperial army very well." β
Tian Xian looked up at the sky, the sun was constantly moving towards the center, and noon was constantly approaching.
If you can't repel the enemy this time, everything will come to naught, and all the previous efforts will be in vain, although the city in the depths of the desert is still there, although everything doesn't seem to have much loss, but once you lose the trust of the countries on the mainland, it is completely impossible to gather a force!
"Okay! Today we are like all the countries on the continent to prove that we can defeat the strongest country! If they want to redivide this continent, come to us!"
After Tian Xian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city, "Everything is left to you!"
Ling was stunned for a moment, "It's time to start fighting, where are you going?"
"I'm going to be with the soldiers!" Tian Xian patted the Dust Sword behind him, "If the plan can be fully carried out, then I think I should be able to do what I want to do easily!"
"How can this be! Who knows what will happen on the battlefield, in case ......"
"Let him go," Ryusi interrupted Ling.
Ling looked at Long Si in astonishment, "You...... What do you say, if he has a mistake, what are we going to do?"
Ryusi's gaze looked into the distance, "If this kind of small battle can't be handled, then we don't care about the future! Now is a good opportunity! So...... Believe in our plans! If you don't have that kind of confidence...... We can get out of here now. β
Ling couldn't help but be a little speechless, turned his head to look at Tian Xian, but found that Tian Xian was showing a faint smile on this side, "Don't worry! I will be back soon! You all have your own tasks, this is the first battle! Don't mess up your own position, I will deal with the stupid people at this time!"
Ling couldn't help but bite people, "This bastard, no matter what time it is!"
Long Si glanced at the back of Tianxian leaving, "This bastard is precisely because of this appearance, we can live until now, okay! The time is almost up, everyone should be in place! We who have always made all countries look at us as relying on the snort of the Shalit Empire to survive, this time we are going to show our fangs!"
Everyone nodded, quickly left the tower, and dispersed in different directions to the city.
The sun moved rapidly in the sky, and soon descended in the middle of the sky, sprinkling the most vicious heat of the day all over the land, and the desert border was like a soldering iron, madly hot.
The soldiers of the Longyuan Empire breathed heavily, the empire had not fought for a long time, most of these soldiers had never been on the battlefield, their weapons had never been stained with real blood, and their armor had never left the scars of enemy weapons.
The tension and excitement of going to war for the first time were mixed, rubbing the heat peculiar to the desert, steaming on the steel armor, making the life-saving armor steam their will like a furnace.
In front of the army, an emaciated figure writhed uneasily in armor so heavy that it seemed to crush his body.
The eldest prince was now very tired, he was born weak and sickly, and rarely went out, and this time he had to go on the expedition because he had seen the brutal killings in the palace.
In this inexplicable chaos, several princes and princesses have died, although this is a secret, but as a member of the palace at that time, the eldest prince clearly saw what happened that night.
Among these dead princes and princesses, there are many people who have no quarrel with the world, and there are no factions that will not participate in the struggle for imperial power at all, they are the kind of people who want to get a knighthood and then live their lives in peace, without any threat to those princes with great ambitions.
Just like yourself.
Thankfully, he survived the chaos of the slaughter, as there were two more visible targets around his mansion, and the soldiers were met with fierce resistance to raiding their mansion, leaving their home in the rear of the battlefield.
By the time the two unlucky princes lay in a pool of blood, it was already dawn, and the Emperor's army began to take over the palace, and the slaughter ended before it touched itself.
Can...... What about next time?
The eldest prince thought about what happened that night, and an endless cold welled up in his body, and even the heat of the desert could not dispel this cold.
Without dependence, you can be killed at any time in the palace!
This may sound a little ridiculous, as the first prince of the strongest empire on the continent, he actually has to worry about whether he can survive or not.
But all this is so real, the smell of blood that night still lingers in the air, stimulating me to shiver constantly.
This time, no matter what, you have to capture this fragile city, even if it is just to accumulate a little merit, you have to do something in front of the emperor, so as to get more strength to protect yourself.
Looking at the lonely city not far away, the eldest prince's heart warmed up.
This fat gap was taken over from the emperor by himself as soon as possible, and those brothers who were slow to move must be beating their chests and regretting it now.
But regret is useless, it is more practical to seize the next opportunity, but next time ...... I have to be one step faster!
Looking at the sky, the midday sun was unimaginably hot on the desert border.
Take the city in one go, go back to the imperial capital early to drink some cool fruit bars, and stay here again, I'm afraid I'll get sick again
Raising the knight's sword in his hand, the eldest prince pointed to the city in the distance, "Soldiers of the Empire! Obey my orders! Eradicate the city in front of you!
"Kill !!" (To be continued.) )
