"Not much, life is like a dream. I didn't expect that our two little commanders have now become senior officers in their respective motherlands. For more than 20 years, we have been fighting for a long time, and now it's time to decide the winner completely." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said with emotion.
"Haha, what's wrong? Do you still think you will win this battle? When the warriors of my Sai Empire are all made of paper, Luo Ning, don't be too happy too early. The winner is still not yet decided, and it's not time to pretend." Lieutenant General Yunluo responded blankly, unable to feel the emotions of Lieutenant General Luo Ning at all.
"Yunluo, you are still so stubborn. Winning and losing are common things in military affairs. What's the point of not admitting? Do you still think you can fight back in this situation? Let's not fight. Let's take advantage of the time, can't we have a good chat? Since we came out of Lily of the Valley Academy, we have been unable to speak as well as we did at that time." Lieutenant General Luo Ning's tone became lower and lower, and even a little sadness could be felt from his tone.
Seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's expression, Lieutenant General Yunluo's expression, who always looked cold, gradually calmed down. After holding the weapon in his hand for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Oh, what's the solution? Since you and I chose their own paths, it proves that we can no longer drink and talk like we did when we were in the academy. Let him go over the past, Luo Ning, when did you become like this?"
"Actually, if I had asked me to choose, I would rather fight you for twenty years than encounter you here now. Yunluo, don't you know that if you choose to defend this place at this moment, there can only be one ending." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said sincerely, and his eyes when he looked at Lieutenant General Yunluo also began to become a little compassionate.
Seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's eyes, Lieutenant General Yunluo couldn't help but sigh. After silence for a long time again, he spoke: "Haha, what's the solution? I thought the empire had made so many arrangements that I could definitely conquer the Tianlan Empire in one go. So I volunteered to defeat you with my own hands, and then mock you with condescending mockery. Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable, but you took it over and now you have pity for me. The battle of the Chinese fortress has consumed all the advantages of my Sai Empire. As the chief commander, I cannot escape the blame for my poor combat. Now I am being pursued again when I withdraw my troops. Even if I don't die here in battle, those political parties will not leave me any way out after returning home."
"This...oh. Forget it, since we have reached this point, it will be unnecessary for us to say anything else. If you can bravely take on your responsibilities, I, Luo Ning, still admire you Yunluo. When we meet on a narrow road, let me, my brother, take you on your way." After that, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally picked up the weapon in his hand.
"Well, I'm just thinking. If I don't want me to leave with any regrets, don't show mercy after a while and leave openly. I'm worthy of my Sai Empire." Lieutenant General Yunluo actually smiled with relief, and then he held the weapons in his hand tightly.
While the two were talking, Li Yi was always listening quietly. He never expected that the two countries could almost be regarded as pillars. When he was young, he actually had a student in Lily of the Valley Academy at the same time, and it seemed that he had a good relationship.
He had never had any impression of the commanders in Sai's enemy before, but now seeing Lieutenant General Yunluo still able to stay here even though he knew he would die, Li Yi suddenly felt a little respect for the general in the enemy. But this respect turned into mercy in a flash, because Li Yi knew that although Lieutenant General Luo Ning said it nicely on the surface, in fact, the old general had made arrangements before charging here, allowing more than a dozen knights to divide into three groups, and the five knights of the Central Army to attack, while the forces of the other two knights were detoured to the two wings of Sai's enemy. Just wait for the war to go together, the knights on both sides attacked and completely defeated the hurriedly organized enemy troops.
When Lieutenant General Luo Ning talked to Lieutenant General Yunluo, he seemed to suddenly feel a lot of emotion and told the other party about his youth. In fact, Lieutenant General Luo Ning was fighting for the time to encircle the Knights of the other two legions. Now, the other two troops can basically be in place. Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally stopped reminiscing about the past and was preparing to launch the final offensive.
After thinking through this, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. Lieutenant General Luo Ning always looked scheming, but now even when facing his old friends, he was not ruthless. He still arranged a backup plan, leaving no chance for his opponent.
"These people have really become fairies." Li Yi riding on the war horse and sighed secretly.
"Arrangement!" Lieutenant General Luo Ning raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him.
In an instant, tens of thousands of cavalry behind him responded to the neat sound of Lieutenant General Luo Ning's horse hooves.
Waving his long sword and pointing directly at Lieutenant General Yunluo, the old general shouted: "Charge!"
"Tianlan will win!" The cavalry of the five Knights of the Central Army shouted loudly, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the opposite side.
Just as the two armies were fighting, a large group of cavalry appeared on both wings of Sai's enemy. Li Yi took a look and confirmed that the two teams were all troops of the Tianlan Empire.
Lieutenant General Yunluo, who was already rushing to resist the charge head-on, saw the Tianlan Army suddenly rushing out from both sides, and his whole heart suddenly became cold.
"Okay, okay, Luo Ning, I didn't expect that you really treat me Yunluo well." Seeing Tianlan appearing again, Lieutenant General Yunluo knew that his blockade would not buy much time for other troops. He sighed sadly, Lieutenant General Yunluo picked up the spear in his hand and rushed to Lieutenant General Luo Ning on the opposite side.
"General, all the Sai enemy troops who resisted here were killed, and no deserter." After the fierce battle for the middle of the night, the Tianlan army won a great victory. Although there were many casualties, compared with the total defeat of the Sai enemy, the fierce battle in the Tianlan army in the middle of the night can be said to have a significant result. After the fierce battle, a commander of the Central Knights excitedly reported to Lieutenant General Luo Ning.
"Well, very good. You all performed well in the battle tonight. After you go back, we will reward you according to your merits." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said in a depressed mood. Although the Tianlan Army won a complete victory this time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not show any joy after the victory.
Standing tall on the battlefield, after the fierce battle for most of the night, the sky began to light up slightly. Lieutenant General Luo Ning stared blankly at the body of Lieutenant General Yunluo who was lying on his legs, and remained silent for a long time.
All the generals could not get the next order and did not know that they should deal with it in this way. They could only stand quietly by Lieutenant General Luo Ning and wait for the order.
After a long time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning reached out to pick up Lieutenant General Yunluo's body from the ground, as if he was picking up a treasure, without regard for the fact that the person in his hand was a dead person.
Li Yi also stood quietly aside, looking at Lieutenant General Luo Ning's expression, and knew that the old general must have had real feelings this time. Because just a few days ago when Duke Vanessa died, General Luo Ning only sighed for a while and did not personally take action to bury his body.
Lieutenant General Luo Ning personally used his long sword to dig a pit in an open space next to the road. When the soldiers around him saw the general taking action, they all helped, but they were sent aside by Lieutenant General Luo Ning. He was stubbornly digging the pit without being moved by the things around him.
After Lieutenant General Luo Ning dug the earth pit and buried Lieutenant General Yunluo's body, the sky was already bright. Li Yi knew that even if he pursued the enemy again, he would not be able to win such an unprecedented victory, so he quietly watched the old general mourn quietly beside the small earthblock in front of him.
The commander of the Kane Legion came out and walked calmly to Lieutenant General Luo Ning, without saying anything, but put his move on Lieutenant General Luo Ning's shoulder.
"Long Ning, don't be too sad. It is a glorious thing for us soldiers to die on the battlefield. Yun Luo's stubborn choice of this way of death can be regarded as a good explanation for himself."
General Luo Ning did not look back when he heard the words of the commander of the Kane Legion, but continued to remain silent. After a long silence, General Luo Ning spoke, but at this moment, the old general's voice began to be a little hoarse. "Kain, Jag died in Atlan a few years ago, Lord Vanessa died at my hands a few days ago, and Yunluo is also dead. At that time, only those of us who were alive now were Lori and you and me. Although soldiers must have the courage to face death, as warriors, we should be at our peak at this age, but because we have become soldiers, we are unable to control our own life and death."
"This is also impossible. Who made us choose this path without hesitation? Since we have already walked so far, do you still want to turn back now? At our age, it is impossible to break through to the holy level." Commander of the Kane Legion stood beside Lieutenant General Ronin and said with a heavy expression.
"I don't know these things. I just felt sad when my friends left me one by one in the past. Well, if you continue to feel sad, you will inevitably be laughed at by these little boys." Lieutenant General Luo Ning's pain did not last long. After adjusting for a while, he returned to his previous cheerful personality.
"That's right, what's there to complain about? After all, we have also tasted the taste of being admired by others that ordinary people cannot taste. Now the Sai enemy has evacuated our pursuit range. Do you think we are summoning heavy troops to attack Sai enemy's city. Or are we going to stop and return to the imperial capital to seek credit." The commander of the Kane Legion no longer talked about the past, but began to discuss the subsequent war with Lieutenant General Ronin.
"Well... I think we should set up camp here first, and then send people back to let Lori continue to send troops to meet with us. What you said before is correct. This time, Your Majesty hopes that we can take this opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack and attack the territory of the Sai Empire. If we retreat just after repelling the enemy, we will not receive any reward when we return to the imperial capital, but will be punished instead." Lieutenant General Ronin thought for a long time and spoke seriously.
"Well, I think so too. Okay, then order the camp first. The soldiers fought fiercely for a night and it's time to rest." After saying that, Commander of the Kane Legion ordered everyone to camp on the spot, rest for a long time, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive behind them.
After receiving the order, all the cavalry cheered loudly. After all, after all, everyone was exhausted after running around for a night. Seeing that Li Yi could rest, he stopped delaying and led his Second Knights to find a shaded place and set up a camp.
Lieutenant General Luo Ning looked at Li Yi who was leaving with his troops and thoughtful.
"Long Ning, tell me the truth, why do you take good care of that young man named Li Yi? Is he your illegitimate son?" Seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's eyes, Commander Kane said jokingly.
"Haha, I'm so unreasonable, how can I think of this aspect? Can't you see anything special about Li Yi? You have to ask why I took good care of him?"
"What's special about it? Although the strength of the third-level low-level in his twenties is good, it's not a shocking thing." The leader of the Kane Legion said carelessly.
"Three low level, Kane, you read it right, can't you see Li Yi's true strength?" Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help asking curiously after hearing Kane's answer.
"Yes, isn't he the third level of low-level strength?"
"Oh, Kane, I realized that I haven't seen you for a long time, why have you now become the fifth-level low-level strength?" I was about to explain to Kane, but after Lieutenant General Ronin investigated Kane's breath, he found that the opponent's strength had changed.
Upon hearing this, the commander of the Kane Legion scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time. There is no war in the west, so I relaxed my cultivation, and as a result, my strength inexplicably fell from the fifth level to the low level."
"Oh, how can you say hello? How can you let this happen?" General Luo Ning said angrily and smiled when he heard the other party's answer.
Commander Kane didn't talk to each other, just smiled awkwardly.
"This Li Yi is only twenty years old this year, but he has the strength of the fourth level of low level. At this age, he has this strength. Do you think he should be valued by me?"
"What? You said that young man has the strength of the fourth level low level now? How is that possible? I clearly feel that he is only the third level low level." Hearing Lieutenant General Ronin's words, although Captain Kane's Legion knew that the other party could not make such a joke, he still asked incredible ways.
"Can I still lie to you? Li Yi has a wonderful technique of restraining qi. I had only been able to see his true strength before. I didn't expect that after your strength declined, I could not discover his true strength. It seems that his technique of restraining qi is also really exquisite." General Luo Ning explained to Kane.
"Oh, if I really hide my strength and cannot be discovered, it will be explained. Then you are planning to cultivate this young man, this strength and talent, are you trying to train him into your future successor?"
"This is what I am struggling with now. After experiencing so much, I also discovered it. The army is actually the grave of the cultivator. When I come here, after being in a high position, it will only delay my cultivation speed. I cherish him as a talent and want to train him to take over my class. But I am worried that he will waste his amazing talent in the future because of living in the army." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said contradictoryly.
"Hi, what's there to worry about? Let it go. If he likes to be an official, you can help him. If he is unintentional to power, he will naturally find an opportunity to leave in the future. What are you worried about with this?" After all, the commander of the Kane Legion is an outsider, and his mentality is very good at this time.
