Early in the morning, the fog lingered in Lanyan City. Qin Yin accompanied Lin Muyu out of the Ze Tian Palace under the protection of four female officers of Ze Tian Palace. The battle was imminent. Lin Muyu was dressed in a military uniform. The dark blue Empire's senior military uniform was covered with heavy silver armor. A white cloak was draped over her back and a silver helmet was tucked under her armpit. She said with a smile, "Xiao Yin, you don't need to send us off. We will march lightly and arrive at Cuckoo City in a day."
"Well, you must be careful!" Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were full of reluctance.
"Don't worry."
Lin Muyu was full of confidence. "I have dealt with the demon race. Moreover, the one who occupied the Qinling Mountains was the bold but foolish Lei Chong, not the wise and brave QianFeng. There is nothing to be afraid of. Instead, you have to pay attention to the situation of the steel wall along the Yidao River and be on guard against QianFeng's large-scale attack on Cangnan Province from Winter Frost City."
"Well, I know." Qin Yin smiled intimately. She walked forward and opened her arms to gently embrace Lin Muyu's neck. She whispered in his ear, "I will miss you."
Lin Muyu's heart was pounding as he smelled the girl's delicate fragrance. There were many ministers watching!
Behind him, the three generals, Wei Chou, Qin Yan, and Fengxi, laughed. "Commander, when are we leaving?"
"Immediately …" Lin Muyu looked at Qin Yin awkwardly.
Qin Yin left his embrace and smiled with a red face. She said, "I will wait for you in Lanyan City. I look forward to your triumphant return."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu turned over and mounted the horse. She pulled the reins and said, "Let's go!"
Wei Chou immediately led hundreds of Longdan Army Camp's elite cavalry and slowly marched toward the south gate of Lanyan City. Feng Jixing followed with Zhang Wei and Luo Yu, the two deputy commanders.
"Yu, Planet Earth Province is Duke Lan's territory. You must be careful when you go there." Feng Jixing said seriously, "The guards of Cold Star City and Bugu City are all Duke Lan's people. They may not be friendly to you. You have to learn how to protect yourself."
"Mm." Lin Muyu nodded.
Feng Jixing pondered for a moment before saying, "I will personally supervise the provisions, equipment, and other supplies of the Longdan Army Camp. I will then have Zhang Wei personally lead 5000 Imperial Guardsmen to transport them. In addition, Luo Yu will lead 10,000 Imperial Guardsmen to the southern border of the Northern Ridge Province. They will be ready to support you at any time. It will only take half a day to reach Bugu City from there."
"Thank you, Brother Feng. I will be careful."
"When you go to Bugu City this time, you might encounter demons and people of Yihe Country. What do you plan to do?"
"The demons are our mortal enemies. We must fight them when we meet them. As for Yihe Country … "Lin Muyu's gaze turned cold." Long Qianlin single-handedly caused Brother Chu Huaiyin's death. This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable. I saw how Yihe Country massacred Lanyan City. Don't worry, I know what to do. "
"Mm, then I can rest assured." Feng Jixing looked at him deeply and said, "Yu, never trust the people of Yihe Country. Never try to become their friend. Kill if you can. Don't be benevolent."
"Understood."
Lin Muyu smiled. "I am a person who has been sleeping in death for three years. I have experienced the pain of losing my family. Don't worry, Lin Muyu is no longer the Lin Muyu of the past. Wait for my triumphant return. I will treat you to a drink!"
"Alright!"
Feng Jixing didn't send them off after they left the south gate. After all, he was the commander of the Imperial Guardsmen. He couldn't lose his duty.
…
Outside the gate, the 20,000 cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp were ready in the fog. The soldiers' eyes were cold and silent. Their warhorses were also very silent. When Lin Muyu rode past, everyone tacitly turned their horses around and galloped away from Lanyan City with their commander. At the rear, the grain convoy dispatched by Minister of War Xue Ling moved slowly. However, Bugu City was only 700 miles away from Lanyan City, not as far away as Winterfrost City, so grain wouldn't be too big a problem.
In the fog, the official road was full of dense sounds of hooves. The armors and weapons of the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp were all brand new. The army that Lin Muyu had spent a lot of money to build could be called the strongest cavalry regiment in the empire. Banners were flying all over the sky. The caravans along the way gave way to the Longdan Army Camp from a distance. Watching the strong and strong soldiers galloping past, their faces were full of relief and joy. They knew that this was the army of the empire, an army that protected the people and would never be as brutal as the Yihe Country and the Devil Tribe.
The massacre in Lanyan City made the people of the city submit to the Qin Family.
They passed by many villages and small cities along the way. Until it was almost dusk, a towering city stood in the plains under the setting sun and was surrounded by thousands of villages. It was the capital of the Earth Star Province — Cold Star City. The Longdan Army Camp had galloped for a day and had to rest and resupply outside Cold Star City. Moreover, the letter of Yu Yu had long been sent to Cold Star City, so there were many soldiers of Cold Star City outside the city. Smoke curled up. The Spiritual Fire Division had cooked porridge for the Longdan Army Camp to rest and eat outside the city.
Taxue was fast. Lin Muyu arrived at the city first and ordered, "Dismount and get ready. We will set off in an hour!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chou, Qin Yan, Fengxi and the others dismounted one after another and passed down the order. The cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp stopped at Cold Star City.
As soon as the Longdan Army Camp arrived, the gate of Cold Star City slowly opened and a row of cavalry galloped in. The leader was about 50 years old with three golden stars on his collar. He was also a high-ranking general. His face was covered with scars and he was obviously a person who was good at fighting. After dismounting, he said respectfully, "This general is the governor of Earth Star Province and the commander of Cold Star Army, Tang Xi. Greetings to Commander Yu!"
This was a member of the Tang Family and also a feudal lord who was arranged by Tang Lan to guard Earth Star Province here.
Lin Muyu immediately put the bowl of porridge in her hand on the table and respectfully cupped her fists, "Lin Muyu greets Commander Tang Xi!"
Tang Xi laughed and said, "I have only heard of the fame of the Four Heroes of Lan Yan before. Now that I have seen Commander Yu with my own eyes, I am really shocked. You are really a brave general of our Great Qin."
"Commander Tang Xi, you flatter me." Lin Muyu said with a smile, "Commander Tang Xi, it is really hard for you to guard Earth Star Province and the northern gate for the empire."
"Commander Yu, you are too serious." Tang Xi said, "Two days ago, the Demon Race broke through the Qinling Fortress guarded by Long Qianlin. The Yihe Nation was defeated, so the entire Qinling Mountains almost became the territory of the Demon Race. Our scouts reported that the traces of the Demon Race's Armor Demon Corps have appeared on the Qinling Mountains less than 50 miles away from Bugu City. I have already sent 10,000 elites of the Cold Star Army to guard Bugu City. Now that Commander Yu is here, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Commander Tang Xi, how many soldiers are there in Bugu City now?"
"There are many in the city. Together with the 10,000 people of the Cold Star Army, there are about 20,000 soldiers. Once there is a war, I will dispatch 40,000 elites and 30,000 new soldiers in Cold Star City. Please rest assured, Commander Yu. "
"How many soldiers do the Demon Race have?"
"Ha, the Thunder Rush Army of the Demon Race is busy killing the cities in the three southern provinces of the Yihe Nation that are not protected by the steel wall. They have no time to care about the empire. Therefore, Commander Yu, don't worry. They will leave no more than 10,000 Armor Demons in the Qinling Mountains."
"That's still a very terrifying force."
Lin Muyu nodded and thought for a while, then said, "Commander Tang Xi, if possible, please dispatch another 20,000 soldiers to Bugu City to help defend. Once the opportunity is ripe, we will attack Qinling Mountains and take the initiative. Maybe we can also take back the cities adjacent to Qinling Mountains in the Swift White Province."
Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "Commander Yu, you want to … attack the Yihe Nation?"
"The Yihe Nation is just a group of traitors. Their land belongs to the empire. We are just taking back the lost land of the empire. Before I came, Her Highness gave me an order to act according to the circumstances. As long as the conditions permit, we can attack and defend."
With that, Lin Muyu took a deep look at Tang Xi and said with a smile, "Although you are Duke Lan's man, you are also a soldier of the empire. I don't think I need to say which is the greater contribution, the defense of the Earth Star Province or the recovery of the lost land plundered by the Yihe Nation."
Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "I am willing to listen to Commander Yu's orders!"
"Good. Dispatch another 20,000 elites to Bugu City. Listen to my orders. Once it is done, I will ask for your credit in front of Her Highness. "
"Yes!"
…
By the time Lin Muyu finished the bowl of porridge on and off, one hour had passed. The 20,000 elite cavalrymen in the Longdan Army Camp were ready. Lin Muyu mounted the horse and gave the order. The army once again set foot on the official road and headed straight for Bugu City at the southern border of the empire.
More than two hours later, a few scouts from Bugu City appeared on the official road to welcome them. Not long after, they arrived at Bugu City.
Bugu City was the same as the Five Valleys City. Because of farming and fishing, it was rich and populous. However, it was only a small rich city and could not be compared to the Seven Great Cities. It was even inferior to the Cold Star City. The city was not considered too sturdy. Before Lin Muyu entered the city, the Bugu City's garrison general had already come out to welcome her. He was still the general of the Seven Seas City's army. However, he was very polite and did not target her like Tang Lu and Tang Tian.
After entering Bugu City, Lin Muyu fully took over the defense of the city and all the important political affairs. This time, Qin Yin asked him to come to Bugu City, so he could not return empty-handed. At least, he had to make Earth Star Province submit to the empress, and not just Tang Lan's fief.
…
Late at night, Ren Baqian took Wei Chou and Qin Yan out in plain clothes to inspect the defense of the Demon Race in the Qinling Mountains.
Lei Chong was originally a fool who was brave but not astute. Now, this fool brought a group of stupid armor demons into the Yihe Nation to burn, kill, and loot, and left another group of idiots here to guard the Qinling Mountains. Presumably, this group of idiots would not be too smart. This was a heaven-sent opportunity for Lin Muyu to seize the Qinling Mountains!
The three of them hid in the bushes and looked into the distance. The flames on the Qinling Mountains were swaying. The encampment of the armor demons was very simple and crude. There were only tents made of grass and rattan. Furthermore, more than half of the armor demons slept in the open air. However, it seemed that there were a lot of troops. Tang Xi's words were not false. They had at least ten thousand armor demons guarding the Qinling Mountains.
"Big Brother, in my opinion …" Qin Yan's eyes were full of fighting spirit as he said, "We can send troops to attack the Qinling Mountains at dawn tomorrow. The elites of the Longdan Army Camp are not afraid of these ten thousand armor demons."
"No."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "How about I take down the Qinling Mountains without wasting a single soldier? When I return, I will send light cavalry to provoke them tomorrow and let the armor demons attack Bugu City. I want to test the power of the arrow boxes developed by the Weapons Department."
"Yes!"
