The night sky of Bugu City was filled with stars, and the sounds of insects could be heard from the distant forest. It was very tranquil.
The Longdan Army Camp was set up in the open space in the southern part of the city. Warhorses were chewing on fodder, and soldiers were training to charge and defend with shields under the cover of the night.
In the central tent, the dim light from the candlelight shone on Lin Muyu's slightly tired face. On the side, Wei Chou respectfully held the file and said, "In today's battle, we lost 316 people, 748 were seriously injured, and 2174 armor demons were killed. No one survived. The steel arrows and white diamond arrows that we used have been pulled out, and more than 300 white diamond arrows are missing."
Lin Muyu raised her head and asked, "Where did these white diamond arrows go? Can't they be pulled out?"
"They probably can't be pulled out."
Wei Chou smiled awkwardly, "Most of these white diamond arrows are still stuck in the bodies of the escaping armor demons …"
"Then forget it …" Lin Muyu was a little speechless.
At this moment, Fengxi entered the tent and said, "Commander, Bugu City Lord Wang Ju requests to see you!"
"Oh? Please come in. "
"Yes!"
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a civil official walked in. He was very fat and wore a two-star insignia on his neck. His expression was very flattering as he bowed and said with a smile, "Little Wang Ju pays his respects to Commander Yu."
Lin Muyu stood up and said with a smile, "Sire Wang Ju is too polite. What brings you to the Longdan Army Camp so late at night?"
Wang Ju said, "Commander Yu has shown great power today and defeated the demon army that wiped out the Yihe Nation's rebel army. It's an eye-opener for us. With a famous general like Commander Yu, the empire will definitely be able to recover the lost land and unify the continent."
When Lin Muyu heard this kind of flattery, she immediately felt disgusted and said, "What exactly does Daren want? Just say it."
"It's like this …" Wang Ju smiled flatteringly and said, "The brothers in the Longdan Army Camp have worked hard this entire day, and some of them were even injured. As the army that Her Highness Yin personally leads, the Longdan Army Camp is able to shed blood and sweat for our small Cucu City, so the colleagues in Cucu City are very grateful and have done their best to prepare some food, weapons, and women to send over. Commander, please rest assured, these women are very clean, and some are even virgins. If their bodies can make the generals of the Longdan Army Camp happy, this is all our fortune."
"Where did these women come from?" Lin Muyu asked.
Wang Ju was stunned and said respectfully, "They are all refugees who escaped from Lanyan City after the war, and some local women who sold themselves as slaves. Their origins are very clean, please rest assured, Commander Yu."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but the Longdan Army Camp doesn't take in any camp girls. This is our rule, and I hope you can forgive us. We can't take any of these women. As for the food, weapons, and so on, on behalf of the Longdan Army Camp and Her Highness the Empress, we want all of them."
Wang Ju was startled and said, "Commander Yu, most of the officers and soldiers in the Longdan Army Camp are men in their prime. Do you really not need women?"
"There's no need."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "The soldiers in the Longdan Army Camp can get a certain amount of pay every month, and they will be rewarded after killing the Armor Demons. Moreover, I will give them a few days off every month. If they need anything, they can go to the brothel to solve it. There's no need to bother you, Governor."
"In this case … I understand. Commander Yu's strict management of the army is admirable!"
"If there's nothing else, Governor, please go back. I still have to deal with some military affairs. Lin Muyu appreciates your kindness. After we defeat the Devil Race in the Earth Star Province, I will speak to Her Highness about Wang Ju's support and kindness to the Longdan Army Camp."
"Then … Thank you very much, Commander Yu!"
Wang Ju was so excited that he actually knelt down. Both he and Lin Muyu were important officials of the empire, and they didn't need such etiquette. This could only explain Wang Ju's excitement. After all, Bugu City was just a small city in a remote province, and he might not have the chance to see the empress even once in his life. Now that Lin Muyu said that she would put in a good word for him in front of Qin Yin, it was like giving him a new lease on life.
After seeing Wang Ju leave, Lin Muyu immediately lowered her head and continued to look at the files and maps on the table.
Wei Chou watched Wang Ju leave and said with a smile, "It's really interesting, these officials …"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Aren't all officials like this? It's fine as long as these people don't disrupt our operation. "
"Yes."
A trace of respect flashed across Wei Chou's face as he cupped his fists and said, "Commander, Sir Qin Yan has already brought people to dig a pit in the Seventy Zhang Forest. It will be completed in one night. Are we really going to continue the challenge tomorrow morning?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded her head and said with a smile, "The demons have lost nearly a quarter of their troops in this battle, and they must be very upset. They are very eager to wash away their shame, but unfortunately, there are no intelligent generals in the Armor Demon Legion of the 10,000 demons. They are all a bunch of idiots. As long as we provoke them tomorrow, they will definitely be fooled. However, don't attack the Black Pine Pass tomorrow. We will challenge the Jiayuan Pass instead. There are about 3,000 Armor Demons guarding the Jiayuan Pass. After eliminating these 3,000 Armor Demons, we can more or less open up the road to Yihe Nation."
Wei Chou was startled and said, "Commander, you … you want to go to Yihe Nation?"
"Yes …"
Lin Muyu's eyes looked at the file. The fighting aura around him was dense, showing that his heart was not calm. However, his voice was very calm as he said faintly, "Big Brother Qin Lei's head has been chopped off and soaked in a medicine bottle. It is still in Lingnan …"
As he said this, he raised his head and looked at Wei Chou. His clear eyes were filled with hatred as he muttered, "There is not a night that I don't have nightmares. There is not a day that I don't want to kill my way to Lingnan, take back my big brother's head and bury him under the Nation Guarding Monument."
Wei Chou was moved. His eyes were red as he cupped his fists and said, "No matter what Lord Commander plans to do, Wei Chou swears to follow you with my life and will never regret it!"
"Yes! Don't worry, I won't let you guys risk your lives to take back lost land. I won't let everyone fall into danger again. " Lin Muyu lowered his head and continued to look at the map. He asked, "What's the situation in Lingnan? Is there any news?"
"I heard that Marshal Lei Chong of the demon race has led a 170,000 armored demon army and started a massacre in dozens of big and small cities in Lingnan. Blood flowed for thousands of miles, but the rebel army of Yihe Nation didn't resist at all and retreated all the way to the steel protective wall. Lingnan is now a sea of blood. Not only did the hypocritical Yihe Nation fail to protect the civilians, they even disregarded them. The people of the world should have clearly seen Qin Yi's hypocritical face by now."
"I understand." Lin Muyu rubbed his temples tiredly and said, "What about Long Qianlin's army? Have they all retreated? "
"Yes."
Wei Chou said, "When Long Qianlin retreated from Lanyan City, he took with him fifty thousand Lingnan Iron Cavalry. Now, the military authority of these fifty thousand cavalry has been given to Long Qianlin by Qin Yi. After three years of tempering, these fifty thousand cavalry have become the most tyrannical fighting force of Lingnan Yihe Nation. They are called the 'Dragon Cavalry' by the Lingnan Dukes. They are well-equipped and have brilliant tactics. However … after the demon race invaded Lingnan, the Dragon Cavalry has always avoided fighting. I don't know what Long Qianlin is thinking."
"Dragon Cavalry?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. She looked at the patterns on the table and suddenly a dense killing intent arose.
"Commander, you …" Wei Chou was startled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, nothing …"
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "I have a premonition that our Longdan Army Camp and the Dragon Cavalry will fight. Just wait and see … Wei Chou, continue to strengthen the training of the Longdan Army Camp. One day, I want the Longdan Army Camp to completely annihilate Long Qianlin's Dragon Cavalry to comfort Chu Huaiyin's soul in heaven!"
"Yes, this subordinate will!" Wei Chou cupped his fists and looked at Lin Muyu with concern. He said, "Milord, you must be tired from the battle during the day. Rest early. As for the remaining matters, General Wei Chou, Fengxi, and Qin Yan will naturally take care of them!"
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu stood up and put on a milky white battle robe. She said, "Have someone boil a basin of hot water for me. I want to soak my feet."
"Yes, Commander!"
… …
In the Lingnan Province, a steel wall covered in sheets of iron stretched across the continent. It was extremely majestic. It was also this steel wall that protected the Yihe Country from being destroyed by the Armored Demon Army.
On the wall, a young general wearing a commander's cloak gazed majestically at the sparsely lit city in the distance. His eyes were filled with coldness and anger as he said, "Which city is that?"
"Reporting to General Long, judging from the direction, it is Qiyuan City. There are about a hundred thousand people in the city. Now … it has already become the territory of the Demon Race." On the side, a Captaincy said indifferently.
Long Qianlin sighed and said, "A hundred thousand people died in the hands of the Demon Race just like that … We are all sinners, sinners of the Yihe Country and the human race …"
Captaincy gritted his teeth and said, "They are strong while we are weak. There is no other way. There is no need for General Long to blame yourself."
"How is the training of the Chain Iron Formation going?"
"It is still in training." Captaincy was somewhat speechless. He cautiously asked, "General Long, are we really going to use the Chain Iron Formation to fight the Thunder Rush Demon Corps? If … if we lose, the fifty thousand dragonriders will be gone. The Yihe Country's most elite army will be gone! "
Long Qianlin's eyes shot out a beam of light. Still looking at the north of the steel wall, he said, "The dragonriders are the army of the king. If we cannot defeat the enemy in front of us for the commander, how can we be the army of the king? Just listen to my orders. In three days, the dragonriders will pass through the steel wall and avoid the main force to fight the Thunder Rush Demon Corps. I will personally go out and test the power of the Chain Iron Formation."
"Yes!"
The cold wind caused Long Qianlin's body to tremble. He suddenly asked, "What is the Empire doing now that the Qinling Mountains have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race?"
"Xiang Yu and Lin Muyu have led their troops to the Qinling Mountains. I wonder how the battle is going."
"Lin Muyu is here too …"
Long Qianlin's face was full of pain. "It is late, I am going to sleep."
"Yes, General Long."
