Chapter 884- Marshals son (2/2)
I was shocked; the situation was already really clear. Luo Xun naturally didn't come back to Tian Ling City for just a position — his actions were obviously to undermine the Tian Ling City troops. Once Royal Army and Violent Thunder Army died, then Tian Ling City would only be left his Rongdi Army. When that happened, he’d just eat up our credit for taking down Flaming Cloud City and Waterfront City.
Baili Ning also realized what was going on, so he cupped his fists and said, ”Marshal, the Royal Army and Violent Thunder Army won't be able to do so. I am willing to lead the Chang Feng Army to battle too!”
Louis also knelt down with his broken arm raised in front of his chest, ”Marshal, I am also willing to lead the Fire Axe Army to battle!”
A major of the Fire Dragon Army was promoted to general and he also knelt down, ”I am also willing to lead the Fire Dragon Army to aid!”
All of a sudden, apart from Rongdi Army, all the Tian Ling City Army Generals requested to fight. I was touched. At the crucial moment, even if we were wary of one another, now we were willing to shed blood for Tian Ling City. I was doing so for Pearl's final wishes while they were doing it for power, but the outcome was the same. We didn't want Rongdi Army's Master to rule Tian Ling City, for there would be a change of emperor. Owen couldn't see the situation clearly but we could.
”Hmph!”
Luo Xun scoffed coldly and didn't know what to say. He didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. If all the Tian Ling Empire original armies fought, they might just take down Waterfront City. If the Rongdi Army didn't fight and had no credit, then his position in Tian Ling Empire would be greatly affected. He thought about it and said, ”Okay, I will also send a hundred and fifty thousand Rongdi Army troops to fight. We have to take down this main city in three days!”
Just at this moment there was some commotion outside as a personal troop charged in, ”Marshal, the Little General he...”
”What happened to Lochlan?” Luo Xun asked.
He said, ”He wants to charge into the tent...”
Just as he said that, the tent curtains were pushed open by a sword as a young general charged in. It was the one I had seen just now: Lochlan. I immediately grasped the fact this small kid was the son of Luo Xun!
”Father!”
Lochlan knelt with one knee on the ground, ”I want to fight!”
Luo Xun frowned, ”A siege is a siege; it is not a joke. Just stay here. Once the city falls into chaos, you will have a chance to charge!”
Lochlan was unhappy, ”Father, am I weaker than any of them? Why aren't you letting me kill the enemy to gain credit? The blood of Tian Ling City kings flow in my body, and I am willing to bleed to protect Tian Ling City!”
”Stop talking!” Luo Xun said, ”Anyway, I won't allow you to fight. Lochlan, you are my only son. Remember, the generals here have been through hundreds of battles — you think you can compare to them?”
Lochlan gritted his teeth, ”Father I am unwilling, why?”
As he said that he suddenly pulled out a sword, ”I am willing to spar with the generals here. I won't siege if someone can defeat me with one stroke!”
As the marshal, Luo Xun could not hold back his precious son. He said helplessly, ”Okay, which general is willing to help me teach this dumb kid a lesson? I will heavily reward him...”
”Let me try out his skill!” Dragonling Army General Qin Ye pulled out his broadsword and walked over. He smiled, ”Let's hold ourselves back, and I will try not to hurt you.”
Lochlan also stood up. He smiled as he unsheathed out his sword.
The moment Lochlan slashed out, I was shocked. The simple stab was filled with the deep sword path Wen Lu Style. Tsk, as expected, this Lochlan was strong.
”Tsk!”
Qin Ye used sword skills that the troops of the empire were good at — he blocked and then hacked down. However, Lochlan was even faster. He jumped and the sword had slashed past Qin Ye's shoulder.
”Keng!”
Sparks flew, he slashed really lightly, leaving a mark on Qin Ye's armor.
……
”This...”
Qin Ye's eyes opened wide as he stood there, his face filled with shame, ”Little General's skills are superb, I lost!”
Lochlan smiled, ”Father, do you still think I can't protect myself?”
