Zhan Long - Chapter 1366

“Your Majesty, I am willing to help settle the grain!” Zhu Hai suddenly cupped his fists to say.

Yan Zhao Warrior and I felt uneasy. Ye Lai who was a direct person said, “Duke Zhu Hai and Li Xiao Yao aren’t close, if he is in charge of grain, Royal Army will probably starve to death.”

Everyone laughed.

Zhu Hai felt awkward and was so furious that his white beard was flying in the wind.

Even Lochlan smiled, “Right Ocean Duke, you are over 80. Moreover, Master Li and you have too many misunderstandings so it isn’t appropriate. Let someone else do it.”

Zhu Hai was very firm and he knelt on the ground, “Your Majesty, I am old but the empire has been unified. Master Li has done so well so why would I go against him? Please give me a chance, I don’t want power but if I do anything wrong, Master Li can behead me. Please approve!”

Lochlan was stunned. Since Zhu Hai said that, what else could he say?

“Master Li what do you think? In the end, he asked me.

I hesitated and didn’t know whether to allow Zhu Hai to be in charge or not. Situ Xin cupped his fists, “Your Majesty, Ocean Duke is old but still active. Why not allow him and I to head out and be in charge of the logistics? What does your majesty think?”

Lochlan smiled, “Since you are willing to head out, that is the empire’s blessing. Give my order. Master Li will lead the troops as the Xiao Yao King, The Executor as the deputy. Lin Qiong and Tan Taiyu as the vanguard. Situ Xin and Ocean Duke are in charge of logistics. Master Li will decide everything once the battle begins!”

I nodded, “Thank you your majesty!”

Everyone knelt down.

Lochlan walked down and held my arm with reluctance, “Master Li you should be free but this uprising happened. Only you are talented enough so please head out once more. It is my fault, I am unable to assist you! Master Li, if you need more generals just take them. Tian Ling City is stable and half the Guards Army is enough to defend against anything.”

I smiled, “No need, Lin Qiong, Situ Xin and Tan Taiyu are enough.”

“Okay!”

“But, I hope that your majesty publishes a notification to gather the adventurers of Tian Ling City. That would make things safer. What does your majesty think?”

“Okay, just follow Master Li’s words!”

I was helping the chinese players get a large-scale quest and succeeded. Q-Sword, Yan Zhao Warrior, Fang Ge Que etc clapped and said that they represented the players to thank me. They were so polite that I found it unbearable.

……

Half an hour later, the war meeting was held in the Xiao Yao King Manor. Lin Qiong, Situ Xin, Tan Taiyu, Zhu Hai etc were all here. For the players, Yan Zhao, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Drunken Spear etc players were left. Lin Wan Er brought Dong Cheng Yue and Yue Qing Qian over. Since we were heading out, everyone was going to go together.

On the giant sandboard, all the maps from Nine Heavens City in the east to Iron Skull City in the west were drawn. The entire continent was there.

Jing Yin pointed at the map near Iron Skull City, “Alliance’s main force is here but the intel is not too accurate. After all it is too far away. But with three armies, I don’t think they would be able to escape.”

I nodded, “Prepare to teleport. Let the palace mages of Nine Heavens City set up the teleportation formations and teleport the army right there. The adventurers can just use the normal formations themselves.”

“Okay!” Q-Sword smiled and nodded.

A bell rang in the sky, a large scale quest was here.

“Ding!”

System Notification: Players please note, player Xiao Yao Zi Zai has triggered a large scale quest, to calm the west. Players can teleport to Iron Skull City to join in. Kill the rebels and one can get points. After the event, the points can be exchanged in a 1:10 ratio for merit points. The top three players will obtain extra rewards!

……

“Eh, not bad, 1:10 ratio. It was always 1:1 in the past!” Yan Zhao Warrior laughed.

Q-Sword held his broadswords, “Seems like it will decide whether or not we get rich!”

Lin Wan Er stood close to me, “Hubby, riches is gained from danger. This 1:10 makes me uneasy. I think something is wrong, it won’t be so simple.”

Dong Cheng Yue nodded, “I think so too hubby…”

I stared at her, “Lady, I am not your hubby…”

Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han face-palmed and mocked me. Dong Cheng Yue pulled my cape and followed beside me like she wasn’t going to leave. No choice, I had to let her follow. In truth, I had lesser and lesser time with them.

“What thoughts do you have on this quest?” I asked

Q-Sword shook his head, “Nothing, it is just an uprising, simple.”

Ye Lai said, “En, should be okay.”

Drunken Spear frowned, “Actually, the emperor system has many flaws. Although this is the game, but… I agree with people being equal. Although their motives aren’t simple but that idea is not bad. We are all generals and since we join in, people might suspect we are doing so to protect our power. The civilians will look down on us and see us as the emperor’s war machine.”

I sighed. Drunken Spear was a special person, his way of thinking was different from ours but it made sense. We were going to have a war to protect the empire, it wasn’t a real war. I only hated Alliance for being scheming but in the end, the civilians weren’t at fault.

I held Butterfly’s handle and said, “Don’t think too much, none of us are wrong, we are just on different sides. Prepare to head out. Look at the situation and try to kill fewer of those people that were brainwashed.”

Jing Yin cupped her fists, “Your Highness is wise, I shall help those innocent civilians thank your highness first!”

I gave out a self mocking laugh but I felt like there was nothing to thank. I was a war machine, someone that helped Lochlan maintain his rule. Actually… I didn’t want to become such a person but I was helpless. Time and power forced me to become someone that I would hate.

……

The area outside Tian Ling City was really noisy as the army gathered. This time we sent 500 thousand troops. Apart from 140 thousand from Royal Army, Heaven Barrier Army had 100 thousand, 100 thousand from Changfeng Army, 100 thousand from Autumn Harvest Army. Apart from that, Situ Xin led 60 thousand Guards Army troops to move grain. These grains were from Iron Skull City. But I felt apologetic towards Yan Zhao Warrior. Drunken Spear used his army and Changfeng Army was Uncle Yan Zhao’s children. If there were losses, I would feel bad for the two of them.

The Royal Army troops charged into the teleportation formation towards Iron Skull City. The players had teleported over long ago and we had a huge mobility advantage. All the primary cities belonged to us and we could teleport from the east to the west. This was something other servers couldn’t do.

“Hua!”

A white light flashed across and I appeared in Iron Skull City. I summoned Mei Er and charged into the sky to circle above the army. I commanded the majors to head out. There were too many troops and it took an hour to move them outside. This was in game and their movement speed was relatively quick. If it were real life, 500 thousand troops would take a day.

Not far away, Li Mu held his blade and rode the dragon, “Xiao Yao are you prepared to head out? We are about to fight another war, this time they are defenceless…”

Wan Er rode Little White and retorted, “Li Mu don’t be too overconfident. NPCs that joined Alliance aren’t defenceless. I saw that they are all equipped. I heard that the ruler of North Ocean City provided weapons for them!”

I was speechless, “They are under Tian Ling Empire and actually openly rebel. So preposterous. Have you confirmed Sky Rose’s coordinates?”

Yue Qing Qian rode a flaming phoenix, who knew where she got that mount from. Moreover, how did she learn the riding skill? She smiled and shook her head, “No. Our War Hawk Knights can’t search the skies above the city. Sky Rose is too careful.”

“En, doesn’t matter.”

I waved, “Where is Alliance’s army?”

“Found them.” Wan Er smiled, “They are on the plains west of us. It is called the Moon Night Plains and many people have gathered there. Moreover, there are American players that entered Alliance to go against our violence…”

“So complicated…”

I facepalmed and shouted towards the distance, “Long Xing, after preparing the Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon cannons head out!”

“Yes Your highness!”
