In the afternoon of that day, all reinforcements from the Chinese fortress had arrived here. Except for some of the troops of the Southern Legion of Lori, the other two legions were dispatched almost the entire army, with a total of one million troops gathering here in a huge momentum.
Lieutenant General Ronin and Captain Kane looked at the army gathered in front of him with satisfaction. After a few rounds, Lieutenant General Ronin spoke to Captain Kane and said, "Tomorrow, we are about to start our journey."
In February 1998, after the Tianlan Empire pursued the invading Sai enemy troops hundreds of miles after the Sai Chinese Fortress, it gathered a million troops on the spot. Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Ronin, the army went straight to the south and attacked the Sai Empire.
Because of the previous defeat, the Sai Empire did not make effective defense. So in just one month, the Tianlan Army led by Lieutenant General Luo Ning to capture more than ten cities, and almost instantly captured one-tenth of the Sai Empire's territory.
After being passively beaten for a month, the Sai Empire finally called on a large number of troops again and began to organize the fierce counterattack of the Tianlan Empire. However, after all, the Sai Empire was defeated repeatedly before, and at this time, the Sai Empire could only defend blindly and it was difficult to take the initiative.
Under such a great situation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not give the other party a chance to counterattack. He always pressed step by step, and eroded the territory of the Sai Empire. The war started from winter to spring. With the continuous supply of materials behind the Tianlan Empire, the Tianlan army won every battle and moved forward bravely. When the spring was in full swing and the sowing season was reached, the Tianlan army had completely captured one-quarter of the Sai Empire and firmly established its foothold in the Sai Empire.
Li Yi finally got great opportunities during this conquest, and his Second Knights' Order under him also frequently won various military achievements. In just two months, Li Yi's military achievements almost reached the point where he could be promoted. However, because all the division commanders also made great achievements, and Li Yi was too young after all, so Li Yi was still just a small leader of the Second Knights' Order.
After conquering another city, General Luo Ning finally ordered the suspension of the current offensive, rest and arrange the next military direction.
"Hey, Luo Ning, it's not that I'm talking about you. Now is a great time. Why don't you continue to fight? Instead, the entire army will rest and recuperate. The children of the empire are not so useless, and this is not too tiring. "After receiving the notice of rest and recuperation, the commander of the Kane Legion was the first to find Lieutenant General Ronin and talked about his dissatisfaction.
"Haha, Kane, on the battlefield, don't be complacent. Although we have overcome all obstacles and captured cities and villages, we are already far away from our Tianlan Empire at this time. The empire has also begun to take time and effort to provide us with resources. If we continue to make a breakthrough, we may capsize in some small gutter." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said with a smile, and told the commander of the Kane Legion about his concerns.
Listening to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's explanation, Commander Kane's Legion nodded in understanding and agreed with Luo Ning's concerns.
"Besides, it is already the season for spring seeds. When I sent troops from the Empire, I didn't expect that the war would be so smooth. Now that we have gotten such a big advantage, we should wait a while and wait for Your Majesty to point us out the direction of the next step. This will be safer." Lieutenant General Ronin continued to explain, hoping that the Commander of the Kane Legion could distinguish the interests of it.
"Yeah, yeah." Commander Kane's legion nodded frequently, and did not argue with Lieutenant General Ronin.
Just as the two commanders were chatting, the guards suddenly reported from outside the tent: "Report to the general, the imperial capital came to ask for a visit."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning smiled and looked at the commander of the Kane Legion beside him, and then said, "I was just talking about waiting for instructions from the imperial capital, but I didn't expect that there would be a letter. It seems that His Majesty is sending people to always pay attention to the war here."
"That's natural. After all, this is also a great achievement in expanding territory. Even if His Majesty has experienced many storms, it is impossible to ignore it at this time." The commander of the Kane Legion replied with a smile. Then, without waiting for Lieutenant General Luo Ning to say, he ordered the envoy of the imperial capital outside the door to come in quickly.
After the order came out, the messenger outside the door lifted up the curtain and walked in.
After seeing the visitor clearly, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Captain Kane's army in the tent were both shocked. Neither of them expected that the envoy of the imperial capital would be the person in front of him.
"It turned out that the second prince was here. The old minister was busy with military affairs. He had not come out to greet him in person before. I hope the prince would forgive me." Unexpectedly, it was Prince Kevin. After seeing his face clearly, Lieutenant General Luo Ning hurriedly said symbolically apologizing.
"Haha, the old general is so polite. You and the commander of the Kane Legion are both great heroes of the empire, so there is no need to perform such a false politeness." Prince Kevin still looked polite and did not show any princely posture at this time.
"The rituals of the king and the ministers, I should have abide by them. I wonder if the second prince came here to bring some instructions from His Majesty." After seeing Prince Kevin, the commander of the Kane Legion also smiled and asked.
"This time I came, I did bring some arrangements from my father."
"What instructions does Your Majesty have now?" Lieutenant General Luo Ning asked hurriedly.
"After receiving the information, my father felt that our Tianlan Army was about to penetrate the heart of the Sai Empire at this time, so I hope that the two generals can temporarily stop the offensive, rest and arrange the subsequent war. Unexpectedly, the two generals had already thought of this. It seems that the father was a little worried about it." Prince Kevin said with a smile, and first flattered the two people in front of him without leaving any trace.
"Your Majesty is not too worried. You should have a rest at this time. I just ordered it. I guess if the second prince came one day earlier, you would have to issue this order."
"Let's not be polite for now. Second Prince, has your Majesty decided whether we should stop the troops and hold on to the territory we have obtained now, or continue to attack after rest, and completely disintegrate the defence of the Sai Empire." Seeing Lieutenant General Ronin and Prince Kevin's flattery, the commander of the Kane Legion did not have that patience, and was not worried that it would annoy Prince Kevin. He interrupted the two of them with his words and asked King Tianlan's arrangements for the battle afterwards.
Prince Kevin was not angry because of the interruption of the conversation. Faced with the question of Commander of the Kane Legion, the second prince still answered in an orderly manner: "Father's meaning is that this opportunity is rare in a century. If you give up now, you will definitely regret it. So the father decided to rest on the ground for half a month, waiting for the empire to prepare more sufficient military support supplies, and then we will continue to attack and attack Huanglong."
"Hey, that's right. Your Majesty really has such courage. The immediate interests are just small profits. Waiting to completely capture the Sai Empire, that is the day when our Tianlan Empire truly dominates." After hearing Prince Kevin's affirmative reply, the Captain of the Kane Legion said excitedly.
"And." Unexpectedly, before Prince Kevin finished speaking, he interrupted the excited words of Captain Kane's Legion. Prince Kevin spoke again and prepared to continue.
"What else, the second prince, what arrangements are there in the imperial capital? Just give me the order." The leader of the Kane Legion said carelessly.
"Also, my father is preparing to lead the imperial army in person. It is estimated that in ten days, my father will lead another 500,000 troops to support, and then personally command to attack the Sai Empire." Prince Kevin said quietly, and seemed careless, but threw out such a bombshell.
"Your Majesty is preparing to fight in person?" Lieutenant General Ronin and Captain Kane's Legion were both shocked and asked in surprise.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Prince Kevin still maintained his prince's demeanor. He just smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"It seems that His Majesty has really moved this time. If you cannot completely destroy the Sai Empire, His Majesty will probably not give up." The commander of the Kane Legion said in a low voice. Now he is still digesting the news brought by Prince Kevin.
"Yes, Your Majesty personally supervises the army, and His Majesty will bring another 500,000 new force in a few days. In this war, our Tianlan Empire has a great chance of winning. It seems that our old bones have to work harder. Even if we cannot really completely capture the Sai Empire, we will at least have to fight for the strength of our Tianlan Empire after they fight." General Luo Ning quickly accepted the news, and now he began to consider the war after King Tianlan arrived on 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 wanted to open up the territory for my Tianlan Empire again in his lifetime, so that he could be remembered forever after his death."
"What did the second prince say? His Majesty is very strong and he will definitely be able to live for a long time." Although as a prince, he can talk about the king's life and death, as a minister, Luo Ning and Kane dare not continue to talk about this topic.
Prince Kevin just smiled slightly at the words of the commander of the Kane Legion and did not continue. After asking about the current situation of the battle in the tent, Prince Kevin said goodbye and prepared to go out to inspect the military appearance of the Tianlan Empire's conquest of the army.
After Prince Kevin walked out of the tent, Lieutenant General Ronin and Commander Kane looked at each other for a long time. After a little silence, Lieutenant General Ronin slowly spoke: "It seems that this conquest is really going to end."
"Well, it's been a long time since the Holy Yuan Da 6 has given birth to a head-on battle between two overlord empires. This time, it will definitely be bloody." The face of the commander of the Kane Legion disappeared from the ease just now. I remembered that after the king came to the formation, the next battle would be difficult.
Not expressing the concerns of the two generals in the big tent, not long after Prince Kevin walked out of the big tent, he found the person he wanted to find next to the big tent of the central army - Li Yi.
At this time, Li Yi was playing wrestling with his cavalry with a relaxed look on his face, having a lot of fun. At the same time, facing five big and round soldiers, Li Yi could still handle it with ease. Alice was eager to try, and she was very interested in going on stage to show off against these soldiers and gangsters.
Prince Kevin smiled and approached outside the wall of the soldiers besieged the city, and began to watch comfortably.
But Li Yi was falling with the soldiers at this time, and he didn't notice Prince Kevin wearing brocade clothes among a group of shirtless men.
It was not until everyone decided to win and lose that Li Yi touched the sweat on his face and raised his head to see Prince Kevin who was smiling and watching outside the crowd.
"Haha, Brother Li is really intrigued. In this case, he is still in the mood to wrestle with the soldiers for fun." Seeing Li Yi appearing, Prince Kevin slowly walked into the crowd and started joking with Li Yi.
"When did Brother Kevin come? He didn't say hello." Li Yi was just playing, so now he forgot the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and just asked carelessly.
"I just arrived and talked to Senior General Luo Ning for a while. After coming out, I saw you falling here? It's noisy here, let's find a quiet place to talk. After the imperial capital has parted, I haven'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 tent.
"What? Your Majesty is preparing to lead the imperial army in person?" After just entering the tent and talking for a few words, Li Yi was also shocked by the news brought by Prince Kevin.
Prince Kevin has also guessed the effect of his news. Lieutenant General Luo Ning also reacted this way before, so Prince Kevin still didn't speak at this time and still looked at Li Yi calmly and smiled.
"Oh, Your Majesty is really troublesome. I guess he is bored in the imperial capital and wants to bring the army here to play with me." Alice still looked nervous. After hearing this news, Alice could actually make such remarks.
When Li Yi and Prince Kevin heard Alice's remarks, they were both stunned, and then laughed happily at the same time. Alice was really a pistachio. When she said such a serious matter, she lost the nervousness.
"Stop making trouble, why can Your Majesty come here when he is bored? You think everyone is like you, treating war as a game." Because Prince Kevin was in front of him, Li Yi was unhappy and "telled a lesson" to Alice.
"Hehe, it's just a joke. I just don't know how good His Majesty is. He is so old that he can stand the fatigue of our carriage?" Alice was not angry with Li Yi's tone of speaking, and asked calmly after the joke.
"Thank you, Alice, for worrying. My father was also a cultivator when he was young. In terms of physical condition, he was still more than capable of dealing with wars." Prince Kevin said politely.
"Brother Kevin, when will His Majesty come?"
"After about ten days, the father will come with 500,000 reinforcements and a large number of supplies."
"Oh, so, in the subsequent war, our Tianlan Empire has to fight, and even if we can't fight, we have to fight." Hearing that King Tianlan was preparing to lead the imperial army in person, Li Yi's first reaction was the same as that of Lieutenant General Luo Ning.
After hearing Li Yi's guess, Prince Kevin didn't say anything, but just smiled bitterly, confirming Li Yi's guess.
After that, the three of them did not continue on the topic, but talked about some other things.
Ten days later, Tianlan was indeed as Prince Kevin said, and led the 500,000 alternate troops, and rushed to the forefront of the Tianlan army at this time and began his personal expedition.
