C343 (1/2)

The generals were all silent. Since their lord had returned to the northern city, would he order Grand Commander Ouyang to report for duty?

Relying on the commander's repeated failures in the north and the loss of countless lands, he voluntarily gave up hundreds of towns and cities to the enemy for free. If the previous emperor was still alive, or if he was still the previous emperor's descendant, he would have long ago ordered his people to capture the great commander and send him to the capital to be punished for his crimes.

Ouyang Baofeng pursed his lips, ”It seems that this grandpa has given a military report as well as a letter. You are not willing to send it to Master.”

”Alas, it is a pity that this grandpa is busy with military matters and cannot leave this place. My body is too heavy and I cannot get up from my bed, so I am unable to personally go to the Lord.”

The generals continued to lower their heads to search for ants. They believed that if their lord sent someone to transfer the commander to the north city with an order, the city would be under his command. Their commander would definitely use the same excuse to disobey the lord's orders and not go to the northern city.

”Even so, you guys accept Master's order. If there is even the slightest delay, bring your heads back to Master!”

Ouyang Baofeng's tone was cold and ruthless, his elegant face was still as indifferent as before. As orders were passed down one by one, the generals respectfully accepted the orders. They knew fully well that the orders of the Grand Commandant were something that they could disregard, but they couldn't not fulfill the orders of a Grand Commander. Otherwise, even if the commander in chief was dealt with by their lord, they would still be severely punished by their lord if they didn't complete the order.

Feng Qingxiao only rested in the northern part of the city for one night. Early the next morning, he brought along over a thousand Iron Guards and set off.

The War God King knew very well that even if he gave the order to meet with Ouyang Baofeng, Ouyang Baofeng still wouldn't come to War God City. No matter what reason or excuse this commander had, they would not comply with his orders. And at this time, the great battle that had already begun could not be avoided. Ouyang Baofeng was planning to take the field and fight from a distance. He had to fight from a thousand miles away!

Very soon, news of his master and princess Taiping's personal visit spread to Ouyang Baofeng.

The generals naturally received this news as well. They couldn't help but look towards their commander. It was fine for the lord to come up, but this time, the lord had brought Princess Pingping over with him. Most likely, the Great Commander would be held responsible for making things difficult for Princess Pingping and sending her to a dangerous place. Of course, there was also the matter of the grudge between the two of them.

Although he had recently won several times, the contributions of the commander were far from enough!

Ouyang Baofeng lightly said, ”Welcome out!”

As the generals followed Ouyang Baofeng to welcome their lord, their hearts were heavy. The war had already progressed to this stage, and the great commander's arrangement had already begun to bear fruit from the battle. He had originally been puzzled and suspicious of the Great Commander. However, he had been defeated along with the barbarians of the northern region and the Rising Sun Empire. This made many soldiers understand one thing. Their vision was too shallow, and they were completely unable to understand what the Nine-tailed Fox was planning.

They only needed to do one thing as they had done before. They would absolutely obey the orders given by their commander, and victory would definitely belong to them in the north!

”Da Da Da …”

The sound of rapid horse hooves came from afar. The silver light was dazzling, and it was like a wave was rapidly charging over. They had already seen the flag, it was their lord!

The soldiers looked at the Iron Guards with admiration and hope, and approached them quickly.

The waves suddenly slowed down and parted to reveal Feng Qingxiao, who was riding on a tall warhorse. His golden armor was as dazzling as the morning sun.

The generals immediately knelt down and bowed their heads as they kowtowed, ”We pay our respects to the Lord!”

The leader of the group, Ouyang Baofeng, was still sitting in his chair when Feng Qingxiao slowly urged his horse over.

Ouyang Baofeng finally got out of his chair, bent over, and slowly placed his hands on the ground to support himself. Relying entirely on the support of his arm, he kneeled down from the chair and said in a deep voice, ”This subject, Ouyang Baofeng, pays his respects to the lord and apologizes to the lord.”

Ouyang Baofeng, who had the privilege of not having to kneel before the War God, was kneeling on the ground at this moment, prostrating himself deeply. All the generals were silent. This was the second time in all these years that Commander Ouyang had publicly kowtowed to the Lord and begged for forgiveness. The last time, it was because his master had just returned to the Northern Frontier. Ouyang Baofeng had to beg for forgiveness because he had been repeatedly thrown to the ground.
