The Imperial Tutor had planned everything and mobilized 24 God Generals and close to 10,000 elite soldiers.
Everything was ready, but Soaring Dragon Palace was empty-handed.
Long Tian had mysteriously disappeared, and he could not find him even after searching the entire Grand Mystery Grotto-Heaven.
The Imperial Tutor was furious and wanted to vent his anger on Long Xiang. He wanted to find a reason to punish him.
Unexpectedly, Long Xiang had been hiding in a secret room to recuperate and did not show himself. The Imperial Tutor did not know where to start.
He could not forcibly break into Soaring Dragon Palace, capture Long Xiang, and then announce his crimes, right?
This method was too clumsy and despicable. Darknorth would never agree to it.
The Imperial Tutor could only suppress his anger and record this down. He would settle this with Long Xiang in the future.
Those 24 God Generals and 10,000 elite soldiers were ordered by the Imperial Tutor to return to the Grand Mystery Grotto-Heaven. They could not leave for too long.
Darknorth could still turn a blind eye to it for a short seven days.
If they continued to stay in the Grand Mystery Grotto-Heaven, Darknorth would definitely punish them for leaving their post.
Thus, the Imperial Tutor could only let them go and return to their posts.
He also did not have the time and energy to continue searching for Long Tian.
He could only angrily believe that Long Tian was powerful and had escaped from the Grand Mystery Grotto-Heaven without anyone knowing.
That night, the messenger suddenly informed the Imperial Tutor and the Southern Conquering Generals to go to the study to discuss important military matters.
The Imperial Tutor could only put aside the matter of killing Long Tian and go to the study with the six Southern Conquering Generals.
...
The study was brightly lit and the atmosphere was solemn.
Darknorth sat behind the desk with a jade slip and a memorial in front of him.
The Imperial Tutor and the six Southern Conquering Generals stood in the study, their postures respectful and reserved.
Of course, Long Xiang was not among the six Southern Conquering Generals. He was still recuperating in a secret room.
"Everyone, I received an urgent report from the three southeastern regions tonight. The Sea Tribe that retreated not long ago is gathering again to attack the three regions.
This time, the Sea Tribe might have gathered more than 80,000 soldiers.
Thus, the attack on the three regions this time will be more tragic than before! "
Darknorth looked at everyone with a solemn expression and explained the reason.
The six generals of the Southern Expedition suddenly became nervous, revealing expressions of righteous indignation.
The Imperial Tutor furrowed his brows and thought for a while. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Long Xiang and the other two Southern Expedition Generals have been investigating and resisting the attacks of the Sea Tribe in the past three years.
In the end, after the Flying Dragon Special Forces lost, they fled back to the God Palace.
That was why the Sea Race decided to make a comeback and gather even more elites when they realized that the power of the three southeastern regions was lacking.
If that's the case, General Long Xiang can't absolve himself from the blame! "
As long as there was a chance, the Imperial Tutor wouldn't forget to slander the Flying Dragon Special Forces.
Of the other six southern expedition generals, four were bought over by the Imperial Tutor, and only two remained neutral.
When they heard the Imperial Tutor slandering the Flying Dragon Special Forces, the two of them frowned. However, they couldn't refute him.
Darknorth said calmly, "However, General Long Xiang has experienced many dangers and made great contributions.
His investigation results are basically correct. The news from the three southeastern regions also confirms that the Sea Tribe is from the Trench Tribe. "
The Imperial Tutor snorted when he saw Darknorth defending the Flying Dragon Special Forces. He didn't say anything else.
Darknorth said in a dignified tone, "I summoned all of you here to give you a heavy responsibility.
I have decided to mobilize 100,000 elite soldiers and rush to the three southeastern regions to kill the invaders!
This time, he was going to beat the Oceanic Race into a sorry state. He was going to teach them a lesson they would never forget!
Only then can they be obedient and intimidate the other three tribes.
After all, the Trench Tribe has repeatedly attacked my territory without being punished. This will definitely make the other three tribes restless …
Do the few of you have any objections? "
The six southern expedition generals naturally didn't have any objections. They quickly bowed and said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty. We will be on standby at any time. We are willing to charge and fight a bloody battle!"
Darknorth nodded in satisfaction and said, "I have confidence in your ability to lead troops.
However, this mission is very difficult. We can't afford to fail.
Therefore, I have decided to send the Imperial Tutor to lead the 100,000 soldiers. "
At this point, Darknorth looked at Imperial Tutor and asked, "Imperial Tutor, are you willing to go to war for me and share my burden?"
The Imperial Tutor was stunned. He frowned and didn't say anything.
He had been staying in the Taixuan Cave Heaven. At most, he would patrol the various regions. He was basically only in charge of government affairs and had never led an army into battle.
He didn't expect that the Dragon Emperor would suddenly ask him to lead the expedition!
Moreover, it was to attack the Sea Tribe in the southeast!
This was too unexpected!
After being stunned for a moment, the Imperial Tutor suddenly thought of something. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Then, he bowed to Darknorth and said in a serious tone, "Although I have never led an army into battle, Your Majesty has ordered me to do my best!
I have no problem leading the expedition, but … Your Majesty, who have you decided to send to lead the troops? "
Darknorth pointed to the six southern expedition generals and said, "Of course it's the six of them. Otherwise, why would I summon them here?"
The Imperial Tutor looked at the six generals and shook his head. He said, "Your Majesty, I think that General Sun Yan has not led an army for more than 120 years and has not been to the three southeastern regions before.
This expedition, we swear to win, and win beautifully.
Therefore, General Sun Yan, please stay in the Divine Palace and wait for orders. "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the study focused their attention on a dark-skinned middle-aged general.
This stout and honest looking general was suddenly embarrassed. His face turned dark red, and his eyes flashed with shame and anger.
He was originally a hot-blooded and heroic general with outstanding talent in leading troops.
However, he was upright and honest, and had been loyal to the Imperial Tutor many times.
It was because of the Imperial Tutor's deliberate suppression that he lost the right to lead troops and stayed in the Taixuan Cave Heaven for more than 120 years.
General Sun Yan thought that the Dragon Emperor's urgent summons would be his chance to rise again.
He did not expect that just as he saw a glimmer of hope, it would be extinguished by the Imperial Tutor!
Darknorth obviously understood the twists and turns in this matter, but he did not want to embarrass the Imperial Tutor over such a small matter.
Therefore, he asked expressionlessly, "Then who does the Imperial Tutor think is suitable to replace General Sun Yan?"
The Imperial Tutor replied without hesitation, "I think that General Long Xiang is the most suitable.
Firstly, Long Xiang made a mistake before, and Your Majesty was kind enough to not punish him too much. However, he should atone for his mistakes and repay Your Majesty's favor and nurturing.
Secondly, I am not clear about the actual situation in the three southeastern regions. Long Xiang has been active there for three years and knows the actual situation like the back of his hand.
It is more advantageous for us to send him to lead the troops.
Your Majesty, please make a decision! "
Darknorth knew that the Imperial Tutor was unhappy with Long Xiang and was deliberately suppressing him.
However, the Imperial Tutor's two points were indeed reasonable, and he could not refute them.
After pondering for a while, Darknorth nodded in agreement.
