"Your Majesty... Are you serious?!"
Looking at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, Bai Lao was stunned again, the disbelief on the old face was beyond words, and he blurted out: "But, how is this possible?"
After finishing speaking, Bai Lao couldn't help looking at Ariel who was sitting on the side again, what caught his old eyes was a firm and resolute white and delicate face.
"Don't be surprised, Old General Bai. Her Highness the Princess and I are indeed planning to compete with the princes."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, nodded and said, "However, it's not to join this power dispute, but to end this dispute."
"Your Excellency, your ideals are admirable, and this old man knows that you are definitely not an ordinary person, but even with a fifth-order powerhouse and many methods by your side, it is absolutely impossible to surpass the many forces of the two princes in this area of."
When the shocking mood subsided, Bai Lao added: "You know, the combined strength of the two princes easily exceeds 150,000. This is not even counting the temporary mobilized reserve army, which is so huge. Even with a continuous pile of soldiers, it is enough to easily overwhelm Kongqing Town!"
"During most of my life's marching career, I have seen a fifth-order powerhouse who is greedy for merit, and finally due to the exhaustion of energy in his body, he was defeated and captured or even killed by ordinary soldiers."
"Even if a fifth-tier powerhouse can easily manipulate an army into applause with his own strength and deal a huge blow to the enemy's morale, it is absolutely impossible to gallop on the battlefield indefinitely. Please think twice before you do it, Your Excellency."
"After all, this time, it is a vast battlefield where 150,000 to 60,000 soldiers fight together, and there must be many areas that the fifth-tier powerhouses cannot take care of."
Speaking of this, Bai Lao shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Unless the four, no, five royal legions gather together, and under the circumstances of proper tactics, it is undoubtedly impossible to defeat the opponent." things."
"Old General Bai is right. Her Royal Highness and I also know that this will be a **** road full of thorns."
Lei Xiao responded with a peaceful face, "But if this unscrupulous power farce is allowed to continue like this, the flames of war like a prairie fire will definitely take away the lives of more innocent civilians."
"The loss of population will definitely lead to a significant decline in productivity, and it will also lead to a significant weakening of Leng Yan's national strength. This is something that neither the princess nor I want to see."
After speaking, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.
In the face of the catastrophe that may come at any time, what I can do is naturally gather as much power as possible, and among them, population is the most important.
Only in this way can we maintain a steady stream of productivity and combat effectiveness to meet the day when all the unknowns come.
After all, based on the three words "catastrophe", it can be seen that it contains not only disasters, but also unknown changes.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes became a little more solemn, and he continued: "The most important thing is that the opponent's sword is now on the neck of the princess and me. It's not perfect yet, and I don't even know if I can win, but if I don't show my sword at this time, it will be against my character."
"An enemy who dares to show his teeth and claws in front of me, I will definitely send him to the grave."
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao said with piercing eyes, "If the enemy thinks that Her Royal Highness and I are just ants that can be easily crushed to death, then I will definitely use my actions to tell the opponent how hard my fists are, and I will definitely kill them." These contempt and arrogance will be made to pay in blood for these self-confident fellows."
"Let the enemy pay the blood price for their contempt and arrogance? This old man has heard such passionate words a long, long time ago, and finally put them into practice."
Gazing at Lei Xiao's more determined eyes, Bai Lao's wrinkled old face once again showed a touch of shock.
Immediately, in the mind of this veteran general who has experienced many battles, a burly and tall figure is gradually overlapping with the young man in front of him.
40 years ago, in the northern area of Lengyan, the outskirts of Rinburg.
On the towering mountaintops, snowflakes are flying all over the sky.
Two burly male figures are looking down at a majestic city that is gradually being covered by snow at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
At this time, there happened to be a unique biting cold wind whizzing past on the top of the mountain, which made the cloaks behind the two of them rattle, and also scattered the remaining snowflakes on the cloaks of the two of them.
Judging from the shallow footprints still revealing mud in the snow around the two, it was obvious that the heavy snow had just fallen not long ago.
"Rost, how long did it take us to recover this city that has been lost for nearly a hundred years?"
The burly figure standing in front turned slightly sideways and asked another figure standing respectfully behind.
Zooming in, I saw the burly figure in front, about 30 years old, with a handsome face and piercing eyes.
He was wearing a set of golden shiny plate armor, a fiery red cloak, and a head of thick black curly hair, hanging down naturally along the shoulder armor, like a lion standing proudly on the top of a mountain.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden crown on the man's head. The ruby inlaid in the middle of the crown, even in the dark and snowy day, still exudes dazzling brilliance.
"Report to my king, we spent 6 days and nights in total."
The respectful figure named Rost stood behind him, quickly patting his chest and saluting: "The 30,000 enemy defenders in the city were completely annihilated, and none survived."
Observing carefully, Rost's age is similar to that of the figure wearing the crown in front of him, with a resolute face and a meticulous look. He is dressed in pure white heavy armor and a pure white cloak, which almost blends into the gradually thicker snow scene around him.
"That is to say, it took us only 6 days to accomplish a feat that two generations of kings failed to accomplish in a hundred years?"
Hearty laughter sounded, and a rich smile suddenly appeared on the face of the young king, and he said slowly: "It seems that the distance to conquer the entire northern border of the kingdom is already close at hand."
"What my king said is very true. As long as my king and Mr. Wu are here, I believe we will soon be able to approach the city of the Fortress of Unfalling in the North, which is the last lost ground of my Lengyan Kingdom for a hundred years."
Rost still maintained a respectful posture, and responded heartily with excitement.
"Rost, without that guy, a week ago, he went to the mountain fortress to resist the holy night army who took the opportunity to get some benefits. This fortress was taken down by me, you, and several other generals of the kingdom. .
The young king raised his thick eyebrows and reminded with a smile.
"My king, you think highly of me, how dare I compare myself with my king and the generals of the kingdom!"
I saw Rost waved his hand quickly, bowed a little flattered and said: "This subject is just the commander-in-chief of my king's guards!"
"Rost, I have already seen your military talents, especially in defense."
There was a faint smile on the young king's heroic face, and he continued: "Since the beginning of the king's expedition, I have gone through so many battles, large and small, and there has never been an enemy cavalry that can surprise us. The throne of the Chinese army."
Looking at Rost who was still in a state of panic, the corners of the young king's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Rost, although you are a member of my Leng Yan traditional nobles, but the family has long since declined, don't you want to get on board?" Can the high position of the general of the kingdom regain the glory of the family?"
"Go back to my king, think, of course I want to!"
Roste straightened his pure white heavy armor, quickly stroked his chest and saluted: "However, there are more than 20 cities, large and small, from Buluo Fortress. If Master Wu is not here, we will fight on two fronts. In an extremely unfavorable situation, and the enemy is still several times our strength..."
"Rost, you are good at everything, but you are too conservative."
The young king shook his head helplessly at first.
Immediately, there was another awe-inspiring look on his handsome face, and he said firmly: "For a hundred years, the people in my northern border have been slaves of other countries, living a dark life, as a Their patron, as their king, I will use the blood of my enemies to write the epitaph of my people in the north."
As he spoke, the young king's eyes began to become more piercing, and he looked towards the distant sky: "If the enemy thinks that the current Lengyan Kingdom is still that thin and sick lion who can bully at will, then they will dare to bully you." So wrong."
"I will definitely tell my opponents with my actions that the once powerful Lengyan Lion is back, and I will definitely make these self-confident guys pay the blood price for their contempt and arrogance."
After the young king finished speaking, the wind picked up again, making the fiery red cloak flutter.
The goose feather snow is still falling, so thick that people can't even open their eyes, but the crown on the young king's head is getting more and more shiny.
"I am willing to fight for my king for the rest of my life until the last moment of my life!"
Infected by the young king's rhetoric, Rost knelt down on one knee and bowed his head deeply.
At the same time, under the snow-capped mountain, the sound of uniform footsteps sounded, and the crisp sound of armor colliding continued in an endless stream.
A steel army with no end in sight and waving banners began to pass by the foot of the mountain, emitting a murderous aura one after another.
On the fiery red banners that were connected to each other, golden lions held their heads high, facing the strong wind and snow, and marched towards the north without fear.
"In the few years after that, Wang Zhen fulfilled his original promise, fought bravely all the way, drove out all the huge and powerful enemies entrenched in my cold flame land, successfully conquered all the lost land in the northern border, and In the end, I personally planted the fiery red flag of the golden lion on the top of the Fortress of Unfalling in the extreme north."
Bai Lao's old eyes full of wrinkles are blurred, still immersed in his own memories.
"And in previous wars, under the deliberate training of the king, from a small squadron commander, I accumulated military merits and was promoted all the way until I became a truly respected general of the kingdom."
"Let the enemy pay the blood price for their contempt and arrogance? I didn't expect that after forty years, the old man could hear the king's bold words again from the mouth of the mysterious young man who also possessed great energy..."
While sighing, the burly body of Bai Lao, who was dressed in pure white heavy armor, could not help but tremble slightly, and immediately returned to normal.
The old general, who was no longer the captain of the young guard squadron, looked solemn, and said to Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, you and Your Highness the Princess have really made up your mind to end this power war? "
"That's right, maybe this is the fate of me and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lei Xiao's expression softened slightly, he shrugged and said, "In other words, from the very beginning, I have no choice."
"Understood, although I don't know exactly what your Excellency Ke Qing relied on to say such bold words, but what is certain is that with your meticulous heart, Your Excellency Ke Qing must have already made plans in his heart and has the certainty of victory." possible."
Looking at Lei Xiao's dark eyes that seemed familiar, Bai Lao shook his head helplessly while thinking in his heart: "However, please forgive me, Your Excellency and Princess, the old king has saved the life of this old man many times, and he has shown great kindness to this old man." Like a mountain."
"So, even though the princes and princes regard the old man as an abandoned son, the old man can't bear to attack the old king's heir."
"However, the reckless and cruel actions of the princes and their highnesses are completely contrary to the old king's philosophy when he was in power. It is really hard for me to agree with this old man. However, Your Excellency Ke Qing is completely different from your highness the princess. From you, this old man seems to have seen The old king was full of heroism when he was young."
I saw that old Bai's face was full of sternness, and he nodded heavily at Lei Xiao and said: "Your Excellency, as long as it is within the ability of the old man, please do not hesitate to ask Your Excellency and Princess, I will definitely do my best , even risking their lives, in order to repay the great kindness of Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Old General Bai is serious. Her Royal Highness and I came here this time with a small request."
Looking at Bai Lao's old face that looked down on death, Lei Xiao waved his hands first, and then said bluntly: "This request is very simple, that is to open the gate of the mountain fortress when Her Royal Highness and I need it. , before the battle is over, we must prevent anyone from entering or exiting the mountain fortress."
"So that's the case, the old man understands."
Hearing Lei Xiao's request, Elder Bai immediately nodded knowingly and said, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, and Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will never let the forces of the two Princes and Highnesses change here, and the fortress legion stationed here , and only take orders from this old man~www.mtlnovel.com~ and will not act at will.
"Then thank you, Old General Bai."
Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, pondered for a while, and said again: "Old General Bai, this Captain Randall of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps is the agent for me and Your Highness the Princess here. Send the message to him, and the old general Bai only needs to cooperate."
After speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and patted Randall on the shoulder.
"Understood. For more than ten years, Your Excellency Randall has dealt with this old man many times, and he is indeed a trustworthy strong man."
While Bai Lao nodded in approval, he couldn't help but feel another wave of waves in his heart.
Being able to invite a famous Tier 4 peak powerhouse like Randall to participate in the war mission, this young guest, Your Excellency, is indeed unpredictable.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and nodded again to Bai Lao.
