A few days later, an unprecedented disaster swept across the continent. It was an unprecedented war. The person who started was either someone else, but the lonely and remnant clouds. With the help of the Northern Beast clan, he personally led hundreds of thousands of troops and mobilized the whole country to crush the Lone Yan Kingdom south of the Golden Kingdom like a dark cloud covering the world.
Compared with the millions of troops on the Lanfa Continent, this unit is obviously much smaller in terms of number, but at first glance, its scale is no less than that of a million. Because among these hundreds of thousands of troops, there are many large-scale northern beast tribes with beast body and human faces, which are black and black, like a surging steel, destroying all the living forces that dare to fight against it.
Li Xiaoyi almost returned to the capital of Guyan Kingdom, and before he could reunite with his brother Li Xiaoming, he heard this shocking news.
"Your Majesty! An urgent report is coming from the border! Please check it quickly!!" A soldier who was specifically responsible for delivering messages hurriedly ran in from outside the palace, regardless of whether Li Xiaoyi and Li Xiaoming had just met in the hall. The two were still reminiscing about their brothers' old age, and they directly interrupted the two of them and reported in a hurry.
However, he was stunned just after he finished speaking. Because he saw Li Xiaoyi, a veteran of the previous dynasty who served Li Xiaoyi, was really unbelievable. A king who was obviously impossible to return was back. Moreover, looking at Li Xiaoyi's current appearance, not only did he not have any injuries on his body, but his complexion was quite good, which was really surprising.
Realizing that the person in front of him was Li Xiaoyi, the veteran's eyes were wide open. His eyes were raucous. He almost doubted whether he had read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes hard until dozens of times, and the person in front of him did not disappear like a dream. He was only sure that he was not dreaming. Instead, he really saw this former king, Li Xiaoyi, who was deeply loved by the people.
Realizing this, the veteran's face changed suddenly. He was anxious just now, but his heart was beating faster and his face was full of excitement, just as if the person who had received the urgent response was not him at all. He respectfully bowed to Li Xiaoyi, who had not seen many people for a long time, and said, "Let me see your Majesty!"
"Ah! It turns out it's Aaron. I haven't seen you for many years. Are you doing well now?"
When Li Xiaoyi heard this, he turned around and subconsciously looked at the person who was asking. He was very familiar with this voice. When he heard it, a familiar figure appeared in his mind, but he had not returned to China for many years, so he was still a little uncertain.
However, after recognizing that the person who spoke was the veteran who often accompanied him in his memory, the same excitement immediately appeared on his face. He began to reminisce about the old days with the veteran Zhang Wenlong, without any qualifying as a king. Instead, he was approachable, which made Zhang Wenlong's eyes a little moist.
However, it is not the time to reminisce about the past. Although Li Xiaoyi returned to Guyan Kingdom, he is no longer the king. Moreover, as Zhang Wenlong said just now, something important must have happened in the border area. It is important to deal with state affairs first.
Understanding this, Li Xiaoyi thought about it and immediately said to Zhang Wenlong: "Along, I am no longer the king now. The king is my younger brother Li Xiaoming. If you have anything, please report it to him. When I heard you were informing you just now, I was very anxious. Don't waste your time anymore."
"That's right. Aaron, what happened to the border?" Li Xiaoming, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement and asked.
"Your Majesty, although you are not the king now, in Aaron's heart, you will always be the pride of heaven loved by the people."
Zhang Wenlong bowed respectfully to Li Xiaoyi, expressed his thoughts, and then looked at Li Xiaoming, showing his anxiety again, and replied seriously: "Report to Your Majesty. The war broke out on the border, and the northern border of our country has now been lost. Please send reinforcements to support him quickly, otherwise, the central region of the northern region and the southern region of the northern region will be out of protection."
After these words, Zhang Wenlong deliberately lowered his voice in order to hope that Li Xiaoyi and Li Xiaoming could look at this matter calmly, but what he did not expect was that even though the voice was already very small, so small that only three people could hear it, it still caused the two kings in front of him to react violently.
Li Xiaoyi, who is mature in handling state affairs and has rich experience, is better. He just glared at him and his face changed, showing an incredible look.
Compared to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoming's reaction was too great. He slapped the table in anger. With a "bang!", in an instant, he slapped the table into pieces because of his excessive anger.
At the same time, Li Xiaoming's face suddenly changed. Although he was shocked by the news, more emotions on his face were not shocked, but angry. A surging anger rose and directly turned into two burning flames that appeared in his eyes.
"What did you say!" Li Xiaoming asked. At this moment, dozens of blue veins suddenly appeared on his forehead. With violent twitching, it was like countless earthworms squirming violently at the same time, with a scary look. He stared at Zhang Wenlong with a tight look, as if he was scrutinizing a prisoner, and his face gradually became more and more gloomy.
"How could the war break out at the border so quickly? You're not wrong with your news?" He asked suspiciously after a moment.
"Along dares not misreport the news!" Suddenly seeing Li Xiaoming's face become so scary, Zhang Wenlong even the veteran knew what the king was thinking. He was suspicious of himself. He was so scared that his knees softened. He knelt on the ground without hesitation, and replied with great anxiety: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and you will never be wrong!"
When Li Xiaoyi saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. He didn't expect that his younger brother would treat his subjects like this on weekdays.
However, considering that family affection was not explicitly stated, instead, he used his eyes to suggest that Li Xiaoming could not do this. A king wanted to be loved by the people below. In terms of this kind of etiquette, there was actually no need to care too much. If you cared too much, it would cause dissatisfaction from the people below.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about this. You have just returned home and have a good rest. I will worry about this, brother, and you'll be relieved."
Li Xiaoming's insight is absolutely nothing but outstanding. Just relying on observation, it is very difficult for an ordinary person to know what a person is thinking in his heart.
However, because he had a bloody feeling of giving up anything with Li Xiaoyi, even after many years of separation, Li Xiaoming still knew Li Xiaoyi's every move. Therefore, just a look, he understood Li Xiaoyi's meaning, but did not agree with it. However, he did not refuse Li Xiaoyi's kindness in person, but politely rejected Li Xiaoyi and deliberately changed the topic.
Li Xiaoyi looked at his younger brother Li Xiaoming deeply. He originally wanted to continue persuasion, but after careful consideration, he gave up. He nodded silently, left the hall, and walked towards the courtyard where he was resting.
Because he thought of his identity, he was no longer the real ruler of Guyan Kingdom. Since the current king is his own younger brother, it is better to choose to trust the other party unconditionally than forcibly interfere. Therefore, he left very suddenly, but it was very suitable, and did not embarrass Li Xiaoming.
"Brother, thank you."
Li Xiaoming understood what Li Xiaoyi meant, and thankfully said to Li Xiaoyi's back, and then he did not waste time. He stared at Zhang Wenlong with a serious expression, carefully inquired about the specific war ahead, and soon, all ministers were recruited to discuss strategies against the enemy.
Three days later, a unit with a population of less than 100,000 set out from the capital of Guyan Kingdom, and rushed to the front line with an unparalleled momentum. Although the number was small, only more than 100,000, the combat power of each soldier was extraordinary.
Although there are still some gaps compared to real monks, they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers. They are all elites mobilized from the whole country since Li Xiaoming introduced the policy of selecting elite soldiers. Each of them has more or less learned some monks' skills. Not to mention that they can definitely surpass the army from the Golden Kingdom, but there should be no problem to block them.
Li Xiaoming had great confidence in this. Before the army set out, in order to motivate these young soldiers with strong energy, he even introduced some particularly attractive rewards, such as if he killed more than 100 enemies, he could get ten thousand taels of gold, if he killed more than 1,000 enemies, he could get one and half positions in the court, if he killed more than 10,000 enemies, or if he killed one enemy general, he could be granted a marquis, etc.
It can be said that this army is almost the strongest force that Guyan Kingdom can gather at this moment. When Li Xiaoming saw the troops assembled, he was filled with unprecedented confidence. This confidence even made him laugh proudly and made a declaration of winning this battle.
"There are so many brothers here today. When I see you, I see hope. Each of you is good. So strong and tough. I am firm. The gang of miscellaneous people in the Golden Kingdom is definitely not our opponents! In this battle, I will win the Lone Yan Kingdom!"
The appearance of this declaration also caused an unprecedented passion and confidence to surge from the bottom of the hearts of all the soldiers who had no confidence. Although the real battle had not begun, everyone seemed to have won and had a morale that was not inferior to the Golden Kingdom at all.
However, the final result of this war was beyond people's expectations, which surprised the Emperor Gu Du Canyun of the Golden Kingdom and the Lord Li Xiaoming of the Guyan Kingdom, and they all had some doubts whether this was true.
However, the reasons for the surprise of both sides were different. Gu Du Canyun was surprised that the combat effectiveness of the Guyan Kingdom was even stronger than that of their country. Although the number of people was at a great disadvantage, the soldiers' personal combat power, cooperation, and morale all had huge advantages. In this way, they fought their own troops in a short while, but they retreated step by step.
What surprised Li Xiaoming was that according to the first battle between the two sides, this battle should have ended with a great victory on his side.
But at the most critical moment, there was an army of monsters that did not belong to humans. They rushed in like tigers entering a flock of sheep. In just a moment, they defeated all their troops and pursued them with the flow. Not long after, they destroyed all their troops, leaving a large group of wounded soldiers and piled up like mountains of dead bodies.
If I had not commanded properly and ordered a retreat in time when I saw that the momentum was not good, I would probably not only be the one who had worked hard to gather, but I would not even be able to protect my life.
When Li Xiaoming thought of the terrifying army of monsters just now, there was a deep chill in his heart, and his body trembled involuntarily. His heart, which was full of confidence, began to question whether he could win this battle. He felt more and more unsure in his heart.
What should I do? The troops that are not like humans, and beasts do not like beasts should be the Northern Beast clan living in the northern part of the Golden Kingdom. They actually took the initiative to assist the Golden Kingdom in invading our Guyan Kingdom together. Could it be that the northern border would fall so quickly? If we don’t find a way to get rid of the Northern Beast clan as soon as possible, with our current combat power, it is impossible for us to defeat the Golden Kingdom. What should I do?
Li Xiaoming was very worried about this. He originally wanted to ask for help from other forces in the southern region of the mainland, but what he never expected was that the Northern Beast clan was too strong and did not give him any chance to ask for help at all, and all the retreat routes of the army were blocked.
