Chapter 881- Duke Luo Xun (2/2)

”Luo Xun?” I was shocked, I had never heard of such a person in Tian Ling City.

Louis was surprised, ”Luo Xun... Duke Luo Xun, is it Duke Luo Xun who defended the extreme north cold land, Emperor Rob's cousin, Duke Luo Xun?”

Owen nodded his head and smiled,”It is Uncle Luo Xun. When the Empire was in danger, he led two hundred and fifty thousand Rongbi Army from the north over the mountains and ridges, going past the Empire!”

I was stunned, ”Duke Luo Xun wants to bring the two hundred and fifty thousand Rongdi Army to attack Waterfront City?”

Luo Xun nodded his head, ”Yes, I have such intentions, does General Li Xiao Yao have anything to add?”

I smiled, ”No, I don't, I just didn't know that Tian Ling Empire actually had such a huge Rongdi Army. I am really surprised.”

Owen said, ”Uncle left the Empire when he was seventeen and twenty-seven years have passed. When he left Pearl, and I weren't even born yet. Now that he has returned, he is our undisputed savior!”

As he said that, he said solemnly, ”Luo Xun, listen to my decree!”

Duke Luo Xun knelt on the ground with one knee, ”Present.”

Owen said, ”I give you the title of Tian Ling Empire Marshal to lead the troops. Use the main force of your Rongdi Army to attack Waterfront City in a day. You must take it down within half a month!”

”I accept the orders!” Luo Xun knelt there expressionlessly.

Owen continued, ”Apart from that, Royal Army, Fire Axe Army, Fire Dragon Army, and Chang Feng Army are all under Marshal Luo Xun's rule. Listen to his orders and set out a day later!”

”Yes!” Baili Ning and Louis all accepted.

I kept silent and didn't speak. I held the hilt of my sword, bringing Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue out. Lin Wan Er ran after me and said, ”Oi, are you unhappy?”

”No, I am not...”

”Hehe, it is all written all over your face and you still try to deny it!”

Dong Cheng Yue smiled at the side, ”Actually, Owen really isn't an intelligent ruler. We lost so many generals and troops while attacking Flaming Cloud City. It was obvious that your merits were the highest but in the end he actually gave the Marshal position to an uncle we had never even heard of. If I were the one, I would also be unhappy.”

I couldn't help but smile, ”There is no choice. I just feel like our foundations have been shaken after fighting consecutive wars. This time, we nearly used up all of our cannons. We can also push flesh and blood to attack the Japanese and Korean Cities. Just thinking about it, we know how intense it is. Unfortunately, I still have to bring the Royal Army there to let Luo Xun command it.”

Lin Wan Er said, ”Or you can bring them to avoid battle?”

I shook my head, ”I thought about that, but forget it...”

Just at this moment, a guard chased us, ”General Li, please stop!”

I stopped and looked towards him. He took out a golden scroll and said, ”His Majesty has given you a secret decree. There is no need to bow, just follow the matters.”

”Oh?”

I was a little hesitant as I took the golden scroll. The guard left immediately while I looked at the Emperor Seal on the scroll. It looked like Owen's writing and there were just a few simple lines...

”General Li Xiao Yao, you were Pearl's most trusted general. Pearl was also the sister I grew up with so you are the only person I can trust in the Empire. Please maintain the strength of the Royal Army on this trip to Waterfront City. They are the pillars of this country. Let the Rongdi Army siege. If we can win, Duke Luo Xun will become Waterfront City Duke while you will become the Empire's Marshal, thus grasping the troops. I have high hopes for you and I swear on Pearl's name.”

……

Lin Wan Er opened her mouth after reading the few lines, ”Wow, the AI of the NPCs here are really not simple. I thought that Owen was a greedy ruler. Who knew that he actually had such a good grasp of the situation?”

Dong Cheng Yue said, ”Owen does not completely trust this uncle. After we take down Waterfront City, he is prepared to remove his control over the troops and make him a puppet at Waterfront City right?”

I nodded, ”That is probably it, however... Who knows what will happen in the future... Let's just go offline to eat. It is late, the two of you are probably hungry already, right?”

”Of course, let's go get something good to eat.”

”Alright!”

After giving some instructions to the Royal Army, I let Li Mu and Wang Jian to tell the [Zhan Long] members to go offline. Moon City wouldn't be able to break the Bridge of Fate anytime soon and there wasn't much of a real threat.

Fang Ge Que was still leading [Legend] and the other huge guilds to fight with Waterfront City's Japanese and Korean players. With us rushing over along with the two hundred and fifty thousand Rongdi Army, we would outnumber them. I believe we have the chance to win, but who knows what other things might occur?

……

I went offline and drove the two girls out to eat at a buffet barbecue. We returned when our stomachs were about to explode. I took a shower and had a good sleep. The third day of the country war ended just like that. We dealt with Flaming Cloud City and the next target was Waterfront City. China Region used so much strength and we probably shocked the Indian, Korean, Japenese, French, and British Regions.
