Starlight shone through the prison cell's iron window. Lin Muyu sat quietly on the bed made of straw. Streams of Dark Force circulated around his body. The Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll was constantly tempering his body. Now, the strength of his bones and blood vessels had long surpassed Feng Jixing, Chu Huaiying, Qin Lei and the others who were also at the second level of the Heaven Realm. This was the magic of the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll.
After circulating it for a full cycle, he slowly exhaled and looked up at the starlight outside the window. He could not help but wonder where Tang Xiaoxi and Qu Chu were now. They had traveled day and night. They should be able to reach Seven Seas City in at most two days, right?
At this moment, the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor who had been dormant in the depths of Yi Hai for a long time suddenly spoke, "Lin Ruoji, say, how did you end up like this? Sigh, I really don't know what to say about you."
Lin Muyu leaned against the window and smiled, "What's wrong?"
"As the Emperor's godson, you were actually thrown into prison. Moreover, you killed Tang Bin to save your beloved woman. What crime did you commit?"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor said indignantly, "If I had my temper back then, I would have broken the prison with one palm and gone straight to Dragon-rocky Mountain. You have twenty thousand elites like the Longdan Army Camp, who do you need to be afraid of? Kill your way to Cangnan Province, trick them into opening the city gates, threaten the provincial governor Si Kongfan, take away his military power, and force your way to Tianshu Province. With your ability, you can take down Tianshu Province within seven days, then take over the poor Tongtian Province. After that, you can rest and recuperate for two years, cross the Qinling Mountains and conquer the four big provinces in the south. After that, you can counterattack Lanyan City and proclaim yourself as the Emperor. The world will be yours, you won't have to stay in prison so bitterly. "
Lin Muyu squinted her eyes, "Demon Emperor, your plan sounds even better than a song. Unfortunately, it is full of mistakes, and if you do this, how many people will die …"
"What are the dead afraid of?"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor laughed coldly. "I was born to be a king. Whoever makes me feel wronged, I'll turn them into ashes. Let me tell you, kid, if you want others to respect you, you must first make them fear you. If you can't even do that, what right do you have to protect the people you care about? What right do you have to make others follow your will?"
Lin Muyu agreed. "I've known you for so long. What you said makes sense, but it's too arrogant."
"I'm arrogant? Hahahaha … "The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor was laughing so hard that he was about to cry." I only said what I could do. This is called arrogance. If you want to talk about arrogance, you actually dared to challenge a Holy Domain like Xin Yifan when you were as weak as a chicken. You're the f * cking arrogant one. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you the world's number one madman. "
"You're mocking me again."
"I'm mocking you!" The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor laughed heartlessly.
Lin Muyu slammed the table and said, "I've already gotten to this point, and you're still mocking me. We share the same Yi Hai after all. Can't you have some sympathy for me?"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor laughed loudly. "Sympathy? I've never sympathized with the weak. I only respect the strong. If you can start a rebellion, destroy Cloud Province, Seven Seas Province, and make the world submit to you, I'll respect you. Otherwise, you're not worthy! "
Lin Muyu laughed. "Demon Emperor, you've made the world submit to you before, right? In the end, you didn't even have a body. Did others respect you? In the end, did you even have half a person who loved you? "
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor was stunned. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Lin Ruoji, you really don't know how to chat. I'm going to sleep …"
Lin Muyu threw a tantrum and buried her head in sleep.
… …
Ten days later.
Amidst the sound of the chains being unlocked, there was a whiff of the fragrance of wine. Feng Jixing came over with a bottle of fine wine. He was dressed in a handsome Imperial Army commander's armor. It was a huge contrast to Lin Muyu, who was dressed in black.
"Ah ha, Yu, Brother Feng is here to see you!"
Feng Jixing held the wine jug and ordered the servants to put down a few delicacies. "Let's have a good drink to celebrate your release from prison."
"Release from prison?" Lin Muyu was stunned. "What do you mean? Has His Majesty decided to pardon me?"
"Hmph, dream on …" Feng Jixing glanced at him and said, "His Majesty locked you up for Duke Lan to see. If Duke Lan doesn't relent, do you think His Majesty will let you out? But now, there is a chance to get out. "
"What do you mean?"
"You know about the battle at Demon Subduing Pass, right?"
"En."
"The Seven Seas City sent out troops and sent a hundred thousand troops to reinforce Demon Subduing Pass. His Majesty used Yu Wen Xie as the commander and a total of one hundred and forty thousand elites were defending Demon Subduing Pass against the two hundred thousand Monster Race troops. But just two hours ago, Yu Shu flew to Lan Yan City. Yu Wen Xie's troops were defeated and fell into the Monster Race's trap. Almost none of the seventy thousand people who went out to kill the enemy returned. All of them died in battle and even the vanguard general died in battle."
"Damn …" Lin Muyu frowned. "What good thing is this?"
Feng Jixing smiled. "Yu Wen Xie is old … and useless. Moreover, he is obstinate and self-opinionated. Among the many generals in Lan Yan City, I, Feng Jixing, need to guard the Imperial City. Chu Huaiying needs to stay in the Flying Mount Camp to continue training this army that originally didn't belong to His Majesty. Qin Lei, this fellow, is brave but not astute. Only you, Lin Muyu, displayed outstanding strategy in the battle with Long Qianlin on Fire Axe Mountain, so the battle of Demon Subduing Pass must be ended by you. It won't take more than three days for His Majesty's imperial edict of appointment to arrive at the Sky Prison."
Lin Muyu also smiled. "Big Brother Feng, drink, drink, haha …"
"Hahaha, drink drink drink!"
…
As Feng Jixing had expected, the next day, an attendant brought the Emperor's imperial edict into Lin Muyu's Sky Prison and brought her back to Ze Tian Palace Hall. At this time, there were many officials standing in Ze Tian Palace Hall. At least a hundred important officials were watching this godson of the Emperor walk in step by step. Lin Muyu had already changed into the attire of a Divine Temple Deacon.
Tang Xiaoxi had returned and was standing beside Qu Chu. She stuck out her tongue at Lin Muyu and smiled.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lin Muyu didn't even preface her tone. She directly performed an empire's military salute to Qin Jin. There was no need to mention kneeling on both knees as a subject.
Qin Jin frowned and said, "Yu, the matter of you accidentally killing Young Master Tang Bin … Duke Lan has already agreed not to pursue it for now. Now that Demon Subduing Pass is in a bloody battle, the empire needs people. We have decided to appoint you as the commander of the frontline army. You will lead 700 men from the Eagle Nest Camp to Demon Subduing Pass and take over the command of General Yu Wenxie. Are you willing?"
Lin Muyu nodded. "Yes."
"Someone, bring the Tiger Tally!" Qin Jin said loudly.
An attendant brought an embroidered box in front of Lin Muyu. Inside the box was a golden Tiger Tally, which was different from the Dragon Talisman. There was also an imperial edict to the side. That was his letter of appointment. Only with this imperial edict could he take over military power from Yu Wenxie's hands.
Qin Jin looked at him from afar and said, "Yu, go and make up for your mistakes with your merits. If you didn't defeat the demon army, then you don't need to return to Lanyan City. What other requests do you have?"
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I've never seen a demon before, and I've never commanded an army of a hundred thousand. Therefore, can you please assign me a veteran general who has experienced war as my assistant general so that he can remind me at all times?"
The corner of Qin Jin's mouth rose. "Which old general is willing to go into battle with the army?"
Everyone in the crowd was silent. Zeng Yifan's face was ashen. The group of God Might Battalion generals behind him were also silent. At this time, they naturally wouldn't help Lin Muyu.
At this time, an old general with white hair and a white beard walked out of the crowd. He cupped his hands and said, "This old subject Xu Ying is willing to assist the young general!"
Qin Jin smiled. "That's good. General Xu is already close to 70 years old, but you are still as sharp as ever. It couldn't be better to have you accompany Yu to battle. Remember to take care of our son. He is our only son."
Xu Ying cupped his hands. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
The insignia on Xu Ying's collar was a purple flower with one gold star. This was the rank of Lieutenant General and Chiliarch. It turned out that this old general's rank was even lower than Lin Muyu's. However, at this time, two attendants walked up and replaced Lin Muyu's insignia with three gold stars. This was the rank of Commander. They also replaced Xu Ying's insignia with two gold stars. This was the rank of Captaincy. This was the only way to intimidate the army's morale.
There wasn't much preparation. Xu Ying only brought 50 of his personal guards. Lin Muyu gathered 700 people from the Eagle Nest Battalion and set off in the afternoon with the Emperor's imperial edict. Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, and Chu Huaiying escorted them all the way to the north gate of Swallow Orchid City.
"Yu, war is not child's play. Listen to General Xu Ying's words." Feng Jixing patted Lin Muyu's shoulder and smiled.
Lin Muyu nodded. "Yes, I will."
Qin Yin's face was full of worry. She reached out to pull Lin Muyu's reins and said, "Brother Yu, legend has it that the Demon Race is very cruel and fierce. You must be careful …"
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Don't worry. Mu will definitely come back to see us in one piece. Isn't that right, Mu?"
Lin Muyu cupped her fists and smiled brightly. "Princess Xiao Yin and Princess Xiao Xi, please don't worry. Although I don't know what the Demon Race is like, I won't lose. Trust me."
"Yes." The two girls raised their heads.
Xu Ying said, "General, it's time for us to set off. The war is urgent. We can't afford to be sentimental …"
Wei Chou laughed. "Yes, Sir. It's time for us to set off. Our brothers are all waiting to kill the Demon Race. Moreover, we all want to see what the legendary Demon Race is like …"
"Yes, let's go!"
…
The Demon Race was a huge race that lived in the Endless Forest in the west of the Empire. It was said that there were more than a million Demon Race members, but only about 30 percent of them could fight. However, the Demon Race's armor and weapons were very simple and crude. They mostly used their primitive abilities to fight, so their battle strength was not very strong. This was also the reason why Qin Jin had not mobilized the entire Empire's military to fight against the Demon Race.
The Demon Race had at most 300,000 soldiers, but the human army definitely had more than a million soldiers!
