"Sir, someone claiming to be the commander of the Two Tigers of Konuma Province, Yang Ding, wishes to see you!" A messenger reported to Long Xiangtian in the camp of the First Legion of the Longhui Empire.
Long Xiangtian, the number one genius of the Longhui Empire. He wore a bright silver armor, had a stalwart figure, and was young and handsome.
If he wasn't famous throughout the empire, it would be difficult for anyone to know that a young man who wasn't even 30 years old was one of the strongest commanders of the empire.
"We've been discovered by the River Swamp Kingdom?" Long Xiangtian frowned and stared at the few officers in the tent.
For an army of the empire to be discovered by a Kingdom during a secret march, and this army didn't take any action, it was definitely a huge mistake within the army.
"Let him in." After a moment of silence, Long Xiangtian said to the messenger with a gloomy expression.
"Yes!" The messenger walked out of the tent.
Not long after, the messenger led Yang Ding into the tent.
"I've long heard of the fame of the First Legion of the empire. You've set off from the empire to our border city, and you've crossed almost half of our territory, but we didn't even know you've entered our territory." Yang Ding followed the messenger into the camp. His tone wasn't very friendly. Even though Konuma Province was a subsidiary of the Longhui Empire, and even though he was here to ask for help, he was still a soldier of Konuma Province.
As long as he was a soldier, he wouldn't be too friendly towards any army that entered his territory without prior notice.
"How dare you!" A platoon leader scolded Yang Ding. For officers from the empire like them, they were always high and mighty in front of people from subsidiary countries.
"How dare you! Is the commander of your Konuma Province army so impolite? "Some of the officers around him echoed. Only Long Xiangtian looked at Yang Ding without moving.
"I wonder what kind of etiquette I, as the commander of an army, should perform when meeting commander Long Xiangtian?" Yang Ding asked the officers around him coldly.
"How dare you! You're just a commander of a small subsidiary kingdom. How can you compare yourself to the commander of the Longhui Empire? "The formation leaders continued to ask Yang Ding.
"Enough!" At this time, Long Xiangtian stopped the officers who kept asking Yang Ding.
"We have received orders from the Emperor to rush to the River Marsh and secretly enter Konuma Province. Besides, you are all soldiers. Where did you learn to be so arrogant? Get down! "Long Xiangtian frowned and ordered the people around him to leave.
"This!" The officers were speechless.
"Leave!" Long Xiangtian's expression changed when he saw the hesitation of the officers.
"Yes!" Seeing that their commander was enraged, the officers immediately retreated.
"It seems that some of the commanders in your army didn't follow your orders strictly." Yang Ding looked at Long Xiangtian's behavior and suddenly had a good impression of Long Xiangtian.
"The army of the empire is too strong. Since the beginning of the modern war, it has always been a crushing victory. The army's discipline has gradually been lost." Long Xiang Tian said with a sigh. Even though he was the commander of the strongest army, he didn't feel good in his heart.
"Like a sick bag." Yang Ding didn't care that this sentence would make Long Xiangtian uncomfortable.
"Hmph!" Long Xiangtian snorted and was silent for a while. Obviously, he didn't feel good when Yang Ding said it directly.
"Tell me! How did you know we were here? If you didn't tell me this, I wouldn't have helped you. "Long Xiangtian was silent for a while before getting to the point.
"We didn't discover it. Someone just told us." Yang Ding stared at Long Xiangtian.
"You want to tell me that there is a spy from your country in our army? Do you think I will believe it?! " Long Xiangtian looked at Yang Ding with a sneer. He didn't think that Konuma Province had the ability to put a spy in the First Legion of the empire.
"The spy is naturally not from Konuma Province. I can't tell you who it is." Yang Ding answered Long Xiangtian calmly.
"I can also guess it. Now you can tell us why you are looking for us!" As the number one young genius of the Longhui Empire, he could naturally guess who could plant a spy in the First Legion and send a message to Konuma Province.
"Today we defeated the Army of Red Earth. Tomorrow we will take the initiative to take back the fortress!" Yang Ding turned to the military topographic map and pointed at the fortress on the map to Long Xiangtian.
"You want us to attack? Obviously, attacking the fortress is not in the interests of the empire. We are only the vanguard of the counterattack against the Eastern Ryukyu Empire. The follow-up troops have not arrived yet. " Long Xiangtian smiled faintly. He wasn't an arrogant person, but he didn't want to be a tool for an affiliated country.
"After today's defeat, the remaining Red Earth army will definitely not be able to hold the fortress. So I guess they will take the initiative to ambush our vanguard first and not let our army attack the city with full strength." Yang Ding said to Long Xiangtian.
"And then? Can't your vanguard force fight the remaining Red Earth army after being ambushed? "Long Xiangtian sneered.
"The Vanguard Legion is my legion. I'm worried that Night Shade will also participate in the ambush. With the current strength of my legion, we can't resist the ambush of Night Shade and the remaining Red Earth army. It's even a question of how long we can hold them off." When talking about the Two Tigers, Yang Ding's tone began to become heavy.
"Give me a reason to send troops. It's in the interests of our empire." As a soldier, Long Xiangtian admired the behavior of the Konuma Province Legio IV. He also wanted to help Konuma Province, but the actions of the legions he commanded must be in the interests of the empire. Otherwise, he would leave a bad impression in the court.
Originally, he was a person who was divided in the court. His qualifications and martial arts were weaker than the commanders of other legions, but the commander of the First Legion was him. Many high-ranking officials were unhappy with such a person who was not in the same faction as them and had a lot of power. They had been thinking that he would make a mistake, fall from the throne, and vacate the position of the commander of the First Legion for their faction.
"For the interests of the Longhui Empire, if they encounter the exhausted Night Shade in the wild after a series of battles, annihilate them. Can it make the future war situation of the Longhui Empire more advantageous? "
