Chapter 844- Life is so tough (1/2)
It was mainly because the Fire Axe Army had no confidence. Emperor Owen raised the Blade of the King and said, ”Les, listen to my orders!”
Les, whose hand was wrapped in red cloth, knelt down and said, ”General is here!”
Owen said, ”Lead the Violent Thunder Army and the Fire Axe Army. Shift the Dragonling Army Navy at Deer Lake to send 50 warships from there to the Sea of No Return to kill Fiona and block their way out. This time, the Xia Yu Army will also proceed from the War God River. No matter what, we can't let Fiona leave. If I don't see her head, then you will all give me your heads instead!”
I was really shocked, the Fire Axe Army had 60 thousand people, the Dragonling Army had 50 thousand, the Xia Yu Army had 120 thousand, and the Violent Thunder Army had 70 thousand. Owen had called for about 300 thousand troops to actually surround the tens of thousands that Queen Fiona had brought over. That was really unbelievable.
On the throne, Owen looked toward me and said, ”General Li Xiao Yao, due to your agreement with Queen Fiona, you are not allowed to move your troops. If you dare to... your 100 thousand Royal Army will be buried along with you.”
I stood there in pain, totally helpless. I couldn't raise my sword and kill Owen right now, right? Not to mention that I might not be able to do so, I will definitely lose all of my hard work. However, I can't let Fiona down, not to mention how good a person she is. The 100 thousand Dark Moon Elves archer army under her was really strong!
Les, Qin Yu, Luo Si, and the rest went to accept their orders while I just stood next to Pearl, asking softly, ”Why does His Majesty hate the Dark Moon Elves so much?”
Pearl also replied softly, ”It isn't that he hates the Dark Moon Elves, but he hates Queen Fiona. I don't know the specifics, but there has to be a reason. Maybe when her head is sliced off the truth will come out...”
I had no words, ”...”
Pearl grabbed my hand and said softly, ”Don't be rash, this matter... We have no strength to control it. Second Brother has been acting on his own since he ascended. This time we’d rather sacrifice the Dark Moon Elves and not let the empire's armies fight each other. Understood?”
I kept silent for a while and said, ”I am leaving the palace...”
”You...”
She looked at me helplessly, then nodded, ”Be careful...”
”Mhm!”
……
While the Fire Axe Army, the Violent Thunder Army, and the other generals were getting their orders, I brought Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, and some others to walk out of the palace. I jumped on my horse. The God Dragon Horse neighed and charged out. Although the horses under Han Yuan and Xiao Lie were Thousand Mile Horses, those weren’t as fast as mine. I could only slow down my speed.
Han Yuan followed up and said, ”Sir, what should we do?”
I said seriously, ”Inform Fiona in advance to ask her to leave!”
”Yes!”
Xiao Lie’s eyes were cold as he said, ”Things probably won't be simple this time.”
……
When we reached the shore, the Dark Moon Elves were all there. There were roughly 50 thousand of them. Fiona didn't bring them all and they had only 100 boats. Moreover, most of them were transport ships, not true warships. They didn't have any cannons and they weren't on the same level as the Empire's navy.
I charged into the tent and she was still lying lazily on my seat. Her two long legs were spread out there in a charming manner.
However, I had no time to enjoy Queen Fiona’s beauty, I raised my sword and headed in, ”Queen Fiona, it is bad! Gather your people and leave, back off to the Sea of No Return!”
”What?”
Fiona sat up and looked toward me in shock, ”General Li Xiao Yao, what happened? Why are you in such panic?”
I said, ”His Majesty has ordered 300 thousand troops to surround and kill the Dark Moon Elves. I failed. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so furious to not listen to me at all. Leave quickly!”
Fiona squinted, ”I... I didn't offend Rob right? To... To actually send 300 thousand troops to attack me. Keke, he really respects my Dark Moon Elf army!”
I was lost, ”No... Not Rob, he is already dead. The one that took over is Owen. Don't the Dark Moon Elves know that?”
”Owen?!”
Fiona's body shuddered, ”Is it the one with a sharp nose and a red mole?”
