An army of 800,000 was too many!
In the history of the Raging Wave Kingdom, there had never been such a large-scale war.
The most recent one was the war between Rouran City and the Yelan Principality 20 years ago.
In that war, Count Sauron led the Dragon Guards to support Rouran City, while Turin Tuo led the Southwest Legion to attack the Yelan Principality.
In this war of annihilation, only a little more than five hundred thousand soldiers were used!
Therefore, Zhi Li's use of the entire kingdom's power to suppress Søren was not only a war for the throne, but also a major battle.
All the forces in the world had to use actions to show which side they were on. Therefore, 800,000 soldiers were gathered.
However, Feng Li could only count on the three main legions, which added up to more than five hundred thousand soldiers.
The rest, be it the allied army of the 19 vassals or the allied army of the 10 provinces, could only be the icing on the cake.
Even so, Feng Li still felt an inexplicable sense of security when he was in the middle of an endless army.
Taking a deep breath, Zhi Li looked up at the sky!
In just two short years, there had been three great wars of annihilation.
This was undoubtedly the last one. It could be considered as the emperor personally leading the army!
After returning from the crusade against Søren, perhaps he would no longer be Zhi Li, but King Zhi Li!
...
Looking down from the sky, the army of hundreds of thousands stretched for dozens of miles, covering the sky.
From morning to night, the army marched for 10 hours and set up camp more than 50 miles away from the capital.
Fortunately, the 600,000 soldiers were divided into three groups. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find a camp along the way. Moreover, the vanguard army might have set up camp more than 50 miles away, but the last army had not left the capital.
In the luxurious central camp!
Zhi Li and the nobles and vassals were drinking and enjoying themselves!
Suddenly, Marquis Jian Yong said, "I wonder how His Majesty is doing. It's really worrying!"
The moment he said that, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
A provincial governor suddenly stepped out of the ranks and bowed: "The country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. His Majesty the King has been bedridden and unable to govern for two whole years. After the crusade against Søren, Your Highness should make plans early! "
Zhi Li's heart thumped wildly.
This was persuasion. If the king didn't die, he wouldn't be able to inherit the throne.
And now, he had shed all pretense of cordiality with the king in front of the world. Moreover, the nobles, dukes, civil officials, and generals all stood on Zhi Li's side.
Once he eliminated Søren, he could ascend to the throne directly!
Zhi Li immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the heavens help a good man. Perhaps you can recover soon."
Suddenly, someone said in a strange voice, "Maybe he's already dead."
Instantly, everyone's gazes turned towards the person who spoke. It was actually Marquis Fu E's grandson, Fu Qi.
"Fu Qi, kneel down and slap yourself ten times," Marquis Fu E said furiously.
Fu Qi sneered: "That's right. His Majesty never appeared a year ago. Isn't it up to Gao Yin to decide whether he's dead or alive?"
Marquis Fu E was furious and wanted to beat his grandson.
Zhi Li quickly stopped him: "Marquis Fu E, please don't be angry. Young Master Fu Qi is young and straightforward. He's not cursing His Majesty, but he's dissatisfied with how Søren has deceived the world. "
"Yes," Fu Qi said, "What kind of thing is Søren? He's just a greedy and lecherous scoundrel. What right does he have to threaten the king? In my opinion, he's the one who raped Princess Jung Yeon and imprisoned His Majesty the King! Maybe His Majesty is already dead by his hands. "
"Enough!" Marquis Fu E said angrily, "Fu Qi, get out of here!"
Fu Qi walked out of the camp resentfully, but his face was full of pride.
Following that, the atmosphere of the banquet became more solemn. Everyone looked at Zhi Li cautiously and was not as open as before.
Without a doubt, this two-man show by Zhi Li and Fu Qi was to remind the nobles and dukes present that after eliminating Søren and returning to Royal City, everyone should remember to persuade the king.
Even if His Majesty didn't die, everyone would think that he was dead and try to persuade His Highness Zhi Li to ascend the throne!
Instantly, all the officials and generals present were ready to make a move.
Now that His Highness Zhi Li's ascension to the throne was in the bag, the first person to persuade him, or the person who persuaded him to ascend the throne the most beautifully and tragically, would be the most beneficial.
Persuading someone to ascend the throne had always been the easiest and greatest merit!
After the banquet, Tu Lingduo felt a little itchy and wanted to sneak into Zhi Li's camp to have some fun.
But this was a military camp after all. If she exposed any clues, her reputation would really be ruined. It wasn't like the young lord residence in Royal City, where she and Zhi Li could indulge themselves no matter what.
After a slight hesitation, Tu Lingduo still entered her father's tent.
"Father, what did Fu Lingxi say to you that made you dispel all your doubts? To make you not waver! "Tu Lingduo asked.
Tu Lingduo looked at her daughter and shook her head. "This is not something you should know. You are far from qualified."
These words made Tu Lingduo very unhappy but even more curious.
"Then I will go back," Tu Lingduo said.
Duke Turin Tuo said, "Tu Lingduo, this is a military camp. If you are itchy down there, do it yourself. Don't go to Zhi Li. After eliminating Søren, you can do whatever you want to Zhi Li. "
Tu Lingduo's expression turned cold. She didn't like her father's vulgar words.
"I know," Turin Tuo said coldly and turned to leave.
She decided that after killing Søren, she would definitely place Søren's head on the bed and watch her and Zhi Li having sex.
Of course, Zhi Li would definitely go overboard. For example, he would rape Suo Ningbing or Yan Nair next to Søren's head.
All along, the war between feudal lords would not involve their wives and children. But Søren would be an exception. Zhi Li would never let his wife and children go.
When the time came for destruction, whether it was Suo Ningbing or Yan Nair, they would be in a situation where they could neither live nor die!
…
Søren and Queen Yan Tuo 'er brought 30,000 rockmen to Tianqing Island!
There was nothing on this island for the time being. They could only provide the most basic tents. Whether it was a castle or a house, the rockmen had to build it from scratch.
But what hardships had the rockmen not experienced?
As soon as they landed on Tianqing Island, they excitedly expressed their love for their new home.
They happily distributed fresh water resources and started planning for the rockmen's construction.
There were huge rocks everywhere. Therefore, the rockmen elders decided to follow the tradition of digging caves to live in.
There was only one castle on the entire island. That was the Rock King Palace!
The situation was urgent. Søren could not stay on Tianqing Island to build the rockmen's new home. He had to lead the rockmen to Tianshui City to reorganize.
A day and a half later!
Søren and Seagull's fleet landed on Tianshui City's pier!
Søren ordered the Seagull fleet to disembark and turn from navy to land. Although they would not fight with Zhi Li directly, they had to guard the rocky peninsula!
The entire eastern sea was handed over to Søren's fleet!
After the fleet docked, Søren immediately ordered to dismantle all the cannons on the ships. Then, he sent 10,000 people to secretly transport the cannons to Wind Thunder Fortress and Sky Wolf Pass!
Time was too tight!
Søren's cannon factory currently had a few thousand people. They bought metal materials at all costs, but the number of cannons was far from enough.
Therefore, they had to dismantle the cannons and place them on the city walls!
This was actually very unreasonable. Cannons used to defend strongholds were usually larger, and the cannons had to be specially built. But time was tight, so they could only comply!
Søren brought 10,000 rockmen ashore and headed for the temporary rockmen's camp dozens of miles away.
The other 35,000 rockmen were already there. They had already finished reorganizing!
Reorganizing the rockmen was a very simple matter. This was an army with strong discipline and honor.
As long as there was an absolute leader, all the rockmen would follow this leader and follow his orders as if they were his own arms.
"Master, the latest news!" The person who appeared in front of Søren on a Gryphon was actually Ye Jingyu. Søren was overjoyed!
Previously, when she and the caravan were detained by the rock demons, Søren paid a huge price to redeem her. She had to rush to the secret gunpowder island to supervise the gunpowder production. She didn't even have time to meet Søren.
Thinking about it, Ye Jingyu and Søren hadn't seen each other for almost half a year.
"Jingyu, how come it's you?" Søren was pleasantly surprised.
"I escorted a batch of gunpowder from the secret gunpowder island to Wind Thunder Fortress. When I returned to Tianshui City, Young Mistress received a secret letter from Monarch City. Young Mistress sent me to deliver the letter to Master." Ye Jingyu said happily. She looked at Søren greedily.
After leaving Søren's side, she had been very busy.
As Søren's most trusted person, she had always represented Søren to supervise the most important industry of the Suo Group.
At first, she monitored the Warlock Yao Meng and was in charge of the magic mirror industry.
Later, the importance of the secret gunpowder island had obviously surpassed the magic mirror industry. She was also in charge of supervising the secret gunpowder island. Every time the gunpowder was escorted, she would be personally in charge. The supervision of the magic mirror industry was handed over to her younger sister, Ye Jingfeng.
During the days when she wasn't by Søren's side, she really missed Søren very much.
This kind of longing was mixed with the feelings of a master and servant, as well as the feelings of a man and a woman.
"I'm sorry to let you run around for such a long time. Your face has been blown black by the sea breeze." Søren said and took the secret letter.
"Although it was very hard, I lived a very fulfilling life. I just miss Young Mistress and Master very much." Ye Jingyu said.
Søren opened the secret letter. This was sent by the Shadow Pavilion. The content was very simple!
"Zhi Li's army has left Fengdu and is heading for Tianshui City!"
This was the information from two days ago!
Søren took another look at the contents of the secret letter and sighed in his heart. "It's finally here. The final battle is finally here!"
"Master, is Zhi Li's army coming?" Ye Jingyu asked.
Of course, she hadn't read the secret letter. However, anyone could guess the content.
"Yes. They will enter the Southeast Province in about 40 days!" Søren said.
Ye Jingyu said, "Master must be very busy. I'll take my leave then."
Søren smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Accompany me for lunch."
"Yes, Master." Ye Jingyu was overjoyed.
…
Søren and Queen Yan Chuo 'er led 15,000 Rock Bandits into the temporary camp!
Instantly, the 50,000 Rock Bandits in the camp went wild!
This was because all the Rock Bandits were once again united. Moreover, they had their own king!
Queen Yan Chuo had to leave Søren temporarily to attend the banquet of the Rock Bandits. She had to accept the worship and loyalty of all the Rock Bandits!
As for Søren and Ye Jingyu, they ate alone. Zhuang Zhixuan stood guard outside the door!
"Master, her martial arts are much higher than mine." Ye Jingyu said. She was referring to Zhuang Zhixuan.
"En!" Søren answered casually. He ate the venison that Ye Jingyu had cut.
"She's also prettier than me. Her figure is also better than mine." Ye Jingyu said.
Søren said, "Her figure is more voluptuous than yours, but not necessarily better than yours."
"Master, when the situation isn't so tense in the future, can I follow by your side?" Ye Jingyu said, "My martial arts aren't good, but I can be your maid and take care of your daily life."
"Okay." Søren said, "But, it's best if you still wear the sharkskin suit. It's more eye-catching."
Ye Jingyu blushed. She sat even straighter, making the curves of her hips even more alluring.
After lunch, Ye Jingyu was about to leave. She once again set out to the gunpowder island. She would only escort the next batch of gunpowder to Sky Wolf Pass after it was produced.
When Søren sent her off, she suddenly came up bravely. She hooked her arms around Søren's neck and kissed him with her fiery red lips.
It was a deep kiss. Their tongues intertwined.
After the kiss, Ye Jingyu whispered in Søren's ear, "Master, I really can't help it. There's something you need to be mentally prepared for."
"What is it?" Søren said.
"There's a huge surprise waiting for you at home." Ye Jingyu said.
After saying that, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist Søren's questioning, so she immediately ran away.
Surprise? Søren was stunned. What surprise?
… ….
At night, in the Rock Bandits' camp, Søren attended the Rock King Conference!
This was the highest level conference of the Rock Race. As the monarch of the Rock Queen, Søren had the right to participate in the conference, but he did not have the right to speak.
Because the Rock King himself was loyal to Søren. Therefore, it was not appropriate for Søren to interfere in the internal affairs of the Rock Race.
In the Rock King Conference, the Rock Bandits elected five new island masters. These five people would serve as the five captains of the Rock Bandit Legion.
These five island masters were the strongest in martial arts, the bravest, the most prestigious, and the most militaristic …!
Then, another fifty cave masters were elected …!
These fifty cave masters would each serve as a Thousand Commander of the 50,000 Rock Bandits.
Then, the Rock King Conference also divided the Rock Queen's main legion. There were a total of 15,000 people, accounting for one-third of the entire Rock Bandit Legion.
The entire meeting made Søren sigh with emotion!
This Rock Race's highest council was actually so democratic and so centralized!
It was democratic because each of the five hundred Rock Bandit Warriors present actively participated and fully exercised their power.
It was centralized because no matter who chose or what decision, the Rock Queen could reject it with a single word. Once it was rejected by the Rock Queen, all the island masters and cave masters had no right to object.
The only thing that could restrict the Rock King's power was the Rock Race's Council of Elders. In terms of military affairs, the Rock Race's Council of Elders usually did not express any opinions.
Søren saw with his own eyes that in just a few hours, the command system of the Rock Bandit Legion was completely established. It was very complete and fast.
Straightforward and decisive, without any delay …!
As expected of an absolute fighting race, it was indeed very impressive.
Søren was sure that this Rock Bandit Legion would be able to be pulled onto the battlefield in a very short period of time. Moreover, they would possess astonishing combat strength!
…
The next day, Søren and Queen Yan Chuo 'er rode the griffin back to Tianshui Main City.
As for the reorganization of the Rock Bandit Legion, there was no need for the Rock Queen to keep an eye on it. The five island masters and fifty cave masters would complete all the reorganization work very well.
After nearly two hours of flight, Søren's griffin landed in Tianshui Main City!
He was indeed very curious. What was the surprise that Ye Jingyu was talking about?
As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Gui Qinshao rushed over. Her face was filled with incomparable happiness and joy. She directly threw herself into Søren's arms and said excitedly, "Husband, I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant …"
Søren was overjoyed!
Turins also rushed over impatiently and hugged Gui Qinshao and Søren.
She was really too happy. Her precious daughter's stomach was really not disappointing. She was pregnant immediately after getting together with Søren.
"Søren, ever since I found out that I'm pregnant, I've been waiting for you here every day. I wanted to tell you immediately." Turins said happily.
"I'm really too happy …" Gui Qinshao hugged Søren and kissed Søren's face freely.
…
Southeast Province's capital!
As night fell, a figure wearing a black cloak entered a mansion and appeared in front of Gui Xingfu.
The person took off the cloak and revealed a handsome but pale face. It was Ling Ao!
Two months ago, his legs were broken by Søren. Who would have thought that they would recover so quickly?
Normal fractures would not be able to completely recover in two months. Moreover, Ling Ao's legs were broken in several places.
Gui Xingfu said in surprise, "Little Ao, your legs have recovered?"
"They're healed. Not only have my legs recovered, but my martial arts have also improved greatly because I've obtained a mysterious and powerful force. "
Gui Xingfu realized that Ling Ao's voice was a little strange. His face was pale and skinny!
"What are you doing here?" Gui Xingfu asked.
Ling Ao said, "I'm here to save Sir Godfather! His Highness Zhi Li's 800,000 soldiers have already set off and will arrive in a month. Søren is dead for sure. This is your last chance. As long as you lead the Southeast Province's civil officials to betray you and declare your loyalty to His Highness Zhi Li, then offer the city. All your previous crimes will be forgiven. If you surrender, Søren's crimes will be reduced to suffering humiliation and hiding in the shadows. "
Gui Xingfu said, "If I surrender to Zhi Li now, he will not pursue the matter. But after he ascends the throne, with his personality, he will definitely settle the score with me. "
At this moment, another person walked in!
It was Tu Ningchen!
He bowed and said, "Sir Uncle, my father will vouch for you!"
Duke Turingtuo will vouch for him personally?
Ling Ao said, "Sir Godfather, His Highness Zhi Li knows that you have doubts. But there is a way that can completely resolve your worries! "
"What is it?" Gui Xingfu said.
Ling Ao said, "This time, because of Seagull's betrayal, the Rock Demon suffered a great defeat. This made His Highness Zhi Li very unhappy. Once Søren is eliminated, His Highness Zhi Li will gather the kingdom's power to suppress Immortal Abode Island. After conquering Immortal Abode Island, half of the territory will be given to you as the new Waterfront City. And the original Waterfront City will be taken as a county of the kingdom. This way, your territory and the Raging Wave Kingdom will be separated by a few thousand miles. Even if His Highness Zhi Li wants to settle the score with you, it will be beyond his reach! "
Tu Ningchen said, "Sir Uncle, half of Immortal Abode Island is four times the size of the current Waterfront City! It is equivalent to your territory increasing by four times. Furthermore, His Highness Zhi Li has promised that as long as you betray Søren and lead all the officials in the Southeast Province to surrender to His Highness Zhi Li, he will confer you the title of Marquis! "
Ling Ao said, "Sir Godfather, this is great news. What are you waiting for? Are you going to choose the title of Marquis, a territory four times the size of Tianshui City? Or are you going to choose to be buried with Søren? "
Gui Xingfu's heartbeat sped up!
The title of Marquis, a territory four times the size of Waterfront City? What a great temptation.
And the price of all this is betraying Søren!
What should I choose?
