"D * mn, what's going on? Are the Demons tired of living? How dare they ambush me? " Li Huailin was stunned. Setting aside the fact that the Demons had the guts to attack him, their target was clearly wrong. The highest commander here was Marshal Colin. What did this have to do with him? He was just here for a stroll. How did he get dragged into this?
"Looks like you've hit the jackpot …" Red Moon couldn't help but laugh.
"See, you didn't want to fight with us. This is retribution," the Jade Summoner said, adding insult to injury.
"Retribution my ass. I don't care if they ambush me or not. I'll run away first, okay?" Li Huailin said.
"Hey, hey, hey. How is your Brother Awesome going to face others in the future if you run away?" the Jade Summoner mocked.
"Are you going to do anything to make me fight with you on the battlefield?" Li Huailin said, holding his forehead. "Fine, fine. If you have to say that, then I won't be afraid. Let's fight."
"Duke!" As he spoke, an anxious shout came from the side. Li Huailin turned around and saw Brigadier General Savin, who had gone to report to Colin, running over. He had a group of people behind him. One of the NPCs had Colin's name above his head. It seemed like he was the Fourth Army's Marshal Colin.
Li Huailin took a closer look at this guy. He was very old. As the rumors said, he was an old general. He looked to be in his seventies. His hair and beard were all white, and there were many wrinkles on his face. However, he was wearing a set of heavy armor, and it seemed like there was no hindrance to his movements. He seemed to be in good spirits. There were a few generals behind him. They were probably the main generals of the Fourth Army.
"Duke of Aquitaine, nice to meet you. I am the commander of the Fourth Army, Albert Colin." Colin greeted Li Huailin first. Although both of them had the rank of Marshal, Colin was only a Marquis, and Li Huailin was the only Duke in the empire. So, no one found it strange that Colin greeted him first.
"Hello, Marshal Colin," Li Huailin said immediately and stretched out his hand.
"Sure enough, heroes come from the young." Colin immediately shook Li Huailin's hand warmly and praised him, "I've long heard that the Empire's God of War is a very young hero. I didn't expect to be surprised when I met you. You're really too young. When I was in my twenties, I was still in the logistics department. Duke, you're already a figure who shocked the entire continent. I really can't compare myself to you."
"Old Marshal, you flatter me. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time. I didn't expect to be attacked by the Demons just because I came here to do some private business," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, I don't know where the Demons got their courage from. Just because your Second Army is not here, they think the newly formed Fourth Army is going to be easy to deal with? This is like a slap in my face. " Colin also said very angrily, "But to be honest, the timing that the demons chose is really very good. Duke, as you can see, the southern city wall of our camp has not been completed. To be honest, it's very troublesome to defend. I reckon that the demons have also calculated this step, so they chose this time to attack."
"Is it dangerous?" Li Huailin asked.
"Duke, don't worry. Although the wall has not been repaired, we still have the upper hand here." Colin immediately patted his chest and said, "The enemy's main forces are the Demons' First Army and Second Army. These two are the troops that you defeated, Duke. The First Army has about 40,000 troops, and the Second Army has about 10,000 troops. Most of these two troops are recruits, while we have a total of 70,000 troops on our side. Although 30,000 of them are recruits, we are still much stronger than them."
"It's these two clowns again." Li Huailin was speechless. He soon remembered that he had killed the Demons' First Army and Second Army Commanders in the same way. Both of them were the rulers of the clowns.
"So, Duke, don't worry. Come to me, and I will definitely be responsible for your safety. You just stay at the command center and watch over them. I will personally defeat them," Colin said.
"Oh, that's fine." Li Huailin did not say much. Colin had a subtle intention to not let Li Huailin interfere with his troops. Li Huailin did not have any objections. After all, this was not the Second Army's troops, and he did not have the authority to command them. It was fine if Colin said so first. It would save him the trouble of getting into a dispute.
"But … I have a question …" The summoning Jade Emperor interrupted and said.
"Eh? This is? "Colin asked Li Huailin.
"Oh, this is my friend. She is an adventurer known as the Queen of Poisonous Tricks. Jade Emperor Summoner," Li Huailin immediately introduced.
"Go to hell!" The Jade Emperor Summoner shouted.
As soon as he shouted, the Jade Emperor Summoner heard a system notification. The favorability of a large number of NPCs in front of him had increased by 5-10 points.
"Eh? This works too? "This was the first time the Jade Emperor Summoner had encountered such a situation.
"Well, Queen of Poisonous Tricks, what questions do you have? I can answer them." Colin's favorability towards the Jade Emperor Summoner had increased. He asked with a smile.
"…" The Jade Emperor Summoner was speechless. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to care about it. He said, "Since the Demons know that their military strength is inferior to ours, why did they take the initiative to attack us? This is very strange, right?"
"This … I don't understand," Colin said curiously. Colin said curiously, "If I were the commander of the enemy, I wouldn't launch an attack either. After all, I can't win. However, it's probably because the commander of the enemy has a strong hatred for the Duke. When he heard that the Duke is coming, he couldn't help but want to take revenge."
"What did you do to them?" The Jade Emperor Summoner could not help but ask.
"Ahem …" Li Huailin held his forehead. "It doesn't seem to be too much. I just sent hundreds of thousands of Demons to meet God. This is already very good, okay? Look at the Orcs. They are the ones who are miserable, okay? They are not attacking me now. "
The Orcs wanted to attack Li Huailin, but the problem was that they did not have any troops left. The remaining half of their army was still in conflict with the Elves. They could not come over at all.
"This is what you call not too much. You deserve to be beaten up." The Jade Emperor Summoner said, "Okay, okay. Let's not talk about this. Marshal Colin, I thought of something. There is actually a factor that changed this battle."
"Factor that changed?" Colin asked curiously.
"It's the players," Li Huailin replied directly.
"You can see it too." The Jade Summoning Emperor nodded. "There was a battlefield announcement just now, which means that everyone in the battlefield has received the battlefield announcement. According to my speculation, the Nephilim players over there should have also received the battlefield announcement. Moreover, their mission should be the opposite of ours, which is to kill you and occupy this camp."
"Adventurers?" Colin also frowned.
"Indeed." Red Moon followed up and said, "Now, the average level of the players has reached around Level 50. Previously, there were fewer players on the battlefield because everyone was busy leveling up. Very few people were farming Honor Points. Now that they have reached Level 50, leveling up is slower. The equipment and other rewards on the battlefield can attract more players. So, there must be a lot of players on the battlefield now."
"Now that players have reached Level 50, they won't get one-shot like before. Although they're still no match for the NPC soldiers, they'll be able to hold out for a while. Moreover, half of the soldiers here are new recruits. They'll definitely be a few levels lower than the regular army. This gives players an even greater advantage …" the Jade Emperor Summoning said.
"Indeed …" Colin understood and nodded. Suddenly, he raised his head to look at the Jade Emperor Summoner and asked, "Madam Queen of Venomous Schemes, I wonder if you have taken up any position. If not, do you want to consider becoming my advisor?"
"Eh?" The Jade Emperor Summoner was stunned. What's going on? Why is he suddenly asking me? What's going on?
"You have just exchanged for a Level 6 military rank. You have reached the standard of an official. This NPC's Favorability towards you seems to have reached the standard as well. That's why there's a Civil Official Promotion plot." Red Moon, who had also studied the issue of noble titles, was a little surprised. However, she still explained to the Jade Emperor Summoner happily.
"Eh?" The Jade Emperor Summoner had not thought of this problem. After thinking for a while, he rejected the offer. "I'm sorry, Marshal Colin. I will not be entering the official circle for the time being. Thank you for your kindness."
"Oh, that's fine. If you change your mind, you can look for me. I'm very optimistic about your strategy," Colin said immediately.
When Red Moon saw that the Jade Emperor Summoner had rejected her offer, she felt that it was a pity. After all, this was not an opportunity that could be easily found. However, she also knew the general considerations of the Jade Emperor Summoner. She was a professional player. Basically, she did not have the time to think about things like noble titles. As long as she had combat equipment, it would be fine. Moreover, Colin did not say that there was still a chance. Hence, she immediately said, "Let's talk about the current problem first."
"Adventurers participating in the war is indeed a big problem. I really did not think about it before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed a little troublesome …" Colin did not mention the matter just now, and directly changed the topic.
"In fact, you don't have to worry so much …" The Jade Emperor Summoner continued, "They have players, and so do we. It shouldn't be too bad."
"Don't hold too much hope for this." Li Huailin suddenly said, "If I'm unlucky, there might be human players who want to kill me."
