Chapter 781 – Flame Axe Troops,Attack! (1/2)

“Yes Miss!

Right then, a messenger dashed forward and stuttered, “General Smith, your troops, all two thousand, have already… already…”

Smith clenched his teeth, “Already what?”

“Decimated. Some monsters appeared from the sea…”

“D*mn it!”

Smith slammed his fist on the table, shaking the wood.

Chapter 781 Flame Axe Troops, Attack!

Fire flared up in Smith’s eyes. Clearly, this commander of the “Freezing Star Army” cherished his soldiers. He clenched his teeth and asked, “Just what monsters…?”

The messenger wiped some sweat off his forehead and said, “I couldn’t completely make out their bodies. All I could see were these tentacle like ropes pierce through the boats and then drag the soldiers into the sea. Furthermore, there were these fish like monsters carrying halberds and cutting everyone down. There was so much blood that the sea was dyed red.

Smith took a sharp breath, his expression extremely ugly.

“General Smith , are you ok?” On the side, a middle aged general smirked as he fiddled with a red scarf tied around his arm, “Losing two thousand warriors, if it were me, I would not be feeling well at all. I think that the Freezing Star Army only has nine thousand men total? With this loss, there aren’t many of you left. Ah, you were too impatient. How could you have sent your soldiers out so carelessly?”

Smithspun around and roared at the general, “Louis,mind your own f*cking business. You better keep that red silk of yours close and hide far in the back. Otherwise, if you die, that young beautiful wife of yours will only have to wrap that silk scarf around her finger to console her loneliness!”

Louis was enraged, “Smith, you b*st*rd!”

Theodore silenced them, “Silence! The great battle is before us and you lot actually have the heart to argue about small matters like this!?”

Everyone shut up then. Theodore looked over at the king and said, “Father, how do you think we should approach this battle? In one hour, the Hybrid Demon warships will reach the shores.”

King Rob tightened his grip around the royal sword and narrowed his eyes, “Bring out the Magic Crystal Cannons. As the Hybrid Demon War Boats enter the port, we’ll shoot them down in the sea. There’s no need for reserve!”

“Yes father!” Theodore immediately sent out the order.

King Rob then said, “The Hybrid Demon Armies will soon reach our shores. For this battle, we have moved millions of the empire’s soldiers. This is a battle of life and death. Generals, this is a time where we must work together to protect the empire and everyone’s homes!”

All of the generals nodded their heads in agreement. “Yes your majesty!”

King Rob then asked, “Now, before the battle, are there any more suggestions?”

The tent was silent and nobody spoke up.

I glanced around. Either way, there was no need for me to be afraid of offending the king. And so, I boldly said, “While the center of the army is formed here, it does not give us much of an advantage nor does it have any good vantage points. Furthermore, there’s a hood on top of the tent to block any sea winds, even though you can’t see the sea from here. I suggest that you take the top off of the tent and raise the throne. This way, his majesty will be able to clearly see the battle situation and react to any changes at a moment’s notice.”

“You, Li Xiao Yao!”

A sixty year old general glared at me, his hand on his hilt as he roared, “Do you not know that our king is second to none? This awning is a ceremony that has been passed down throughout the generations. This is the utmost honor which a king must receive. And yet, you actually dare suggest that we take it off? Just what are you planning? Unless, you, Li Xiao Yao, have long coveted the holy royal weapons?”

我大惊，忍不住笑了：“老人家何必那么欲加之罪，我只不过说是拆了中军的帐篷，你就说我谋反，你到底是什么人？”

I was stunned and smiled, “There’s no need for a man as old as you to be so vindictive. All I suggested was to take off the top, not rebellion. Just who are you?”

Pearl whispered to me, “He’s the Jin Marquis, Luo Si. He’s the father of that Luo Te you fired!”

I gaped, “No wonder. Clearly he’s just settling a private debt publically….”

……

The Jin Marquis spun around and said to King Rob, “Your Majesty, Li Xiao Yao does not harbor any good will and is extremely disrespectful to his majesty. I think that you should save yourself the worry and deal with him now! A rebel like him who disrespects the royal power should not be left alone. Please, your majesty, give the order!”

Pearl quickly shouted back, “Marquis, since when was it your turn to get on such a high horse? Every one of Li Xiao Yao’s words are backed by military strategy. Taking off the top will allow the commander to see the entire situation. This move gives the commander the ability to see every detail of the battlefield. This is the most basic common sense. Besides, father will have a much better vantage point. What is wrong with that?”

“Your highness Princess Pearl!”
