Chapter 933 - Stupid pig-like NPC (2/2)
Luo Xun relaxed, ”Thank you, Your Majesty!”
A few seconds later, his eyes swept over one of the generals and he said, ”General Shenglin, General Shenglin, are you here?”
Instantly, a general wearing red armor carrying a Country Protecting General token walked out, ”I am here, does South Protecting King have any orders?”
I recognized this Shenglin. After Owen died, with his Country Protecting General identity, he took up the role of Xia Yu Army General. He was one of the powerful generals in the Empire.
Luo Xun said, ”The Xia Yu Army has 4 thousand cavalry and 40 thousand infantry after the rebuild. After the training, it is time to use them. Why not let them block the next wave? Does General Shenglin have the confidence to fend them off?”
Shenglin's face turned ashen white. His body shuddered a little but he still cupped his fists and said, ”We take His Majesty's salary so we must worry about his safety. We are willing to fight to the death for the Empire!”
I frowned. The Xia Yu Army had most of their old troops after all the battles, and the newly-rebuilt army did not have much strength. Their training also couldn't be as good as the Royal Army’s. To let them block an army even stronger than the Three Horned Beasts? That was just asking them to die.
After Shenglin said that, Major Ye Lai behind him was unhappy. Ye Lai brought a bunch of main [Judgment] players to join the Xia Yu Army. Now he managed to become a major. He held his axe and walked out. He smiled, ”South Protecting King, don't you think this is a little too much? You hold over 200 thousand troops and are afraid to fight, letting the Xia Yu Army with only 80 thousand newbies fight their main force. You purposely want us to be wiped out, right?”
Luo Xun's eyes turned cold and he said, ”General Ye's words are too much. When did I say I wanted to harm the Xia Yu Army?”
Shenglin scolded, ”Ye Lai, don't act out of hand. Should you be saying such things to the South Protecting King?”
Ye Lai had an explosive temper. He pointed at Shenglin and scolded, ”You want to let the 80 thousand soldiers turn to corpses and let them serve as your way up to the Commander in Chief, right? In your dreams! I won't fight for people like you!”
Shenglin was furious, ”Men, drag Ye Lai down. Remove all his roles in the Xia Yu Army!”
The few soldiers outside charged in and attempted to take Ye Lai down. Ye Lai wasn't someone to be taken easily — his axe was raised up, flames shining from it. [Judgment]'s Babel Buddha Lieutenants also unsheathed their swords. It looked like they were about to revolt.
I quickly raised my hand and hollered, ”Stop, golden-armored soldiers back off. Who asked you to come in?!”
The bunch of them were stunned as they looked at me and then at Shenglin. They cupped their fists, ”Commander in Chief, if you have anything then call us in...”
Shenglin's face crumbled and he said, ”Suiding Duke, what is the meaning of this? Does lecturing my men have anything to do with you?”
I smiled, ”Shenglin, as the Xia Yu Army General who was once under Owen, don't you feel any connection to it? You are willing to see them all get wiped out? If that is the case, then why don’t you step down? Let Ye Lai take over.”
Shenglin was stunned and knelt towards Lochlan, he kowtowed, ”Your Majesty, I really don't know what I did wrong. Why does the Suiding Duke want to take my position? If I did anything wrong, please punish me, there is nothing I can say!”
Lochlan looked toward me with a wronged expression, ”Master Li, this is?”
I turned towards him and cupped my fist, ”A commander that doesn't cherish the lives of his troops is an irresponsible one. To a certain extent, he isn't good enough to be their general. However, I am not in the position to take his power away so I hope you can care for the lives of the troops and let the Rongdi Army send 100 thousand men to assist the Xia Yu Army. The 180 thousand should be enough to block the next wave. The Rongdi Army is also huge. Even without the 100 thousand, they can still protect you.”
Lochlan was stunned. He didn't expect I would say that. He looked towards Luo Xun, ”Father, what do you think?”
Luo Xun gritted his teeth but he couldn't argue. He could only say, ”I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's arrangements!”
Lochlan smiled, ”Good, then let's follow what Master Li said. The Rongdi Army will send 50 thousand cavalry and 50 thousand infantry to block the next wave along with the Xia Yu Army!”
”Yes!”
……
Everyone left. The Sea of No Return had many hidden waves, the flapping sails signaled the arrival of the next wave.
After walking out, Ye Lai chased up and smiled, ”Xiao Yao, thank you. F***! The NPC Generals are so stupid, just like pigs, I also can't scold them. How annoying!”
I smiled, ”You are too explosive! Otherwise, why would you only be a major now? Oh right, do you want to be the Xia Yu Army General?”
Ye Lai's eyes lit up, ”Of course. If I control it, at least 200 Dragon Crystal Cannons would be under me. At that time, who would dare to attack [Judgment]?”
I smiled, ”F***, you are thinking about abusing power even before taking the position. I really look down on you!”
Ye Lai laughed and suppressed his voice, ”Speaking of which, Xiao Yao, are you really able to make me the General?”
I nodded, ”As long as Shenglin dies, I will try my best to make you their No.1. Of course, if even Shenglin dies then the Xia Yu Army probably won't be left with much. You must prepare to rebuild it like what Drunken Spear did.”
