In a luxurious conference hall in the Imperial Palace of Wu Kingdom.
"I failed to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty and allowed one hundred thousand soldiers of the Kingdom to die on the battlefield. I am unworthy of Your Majesty's appreciation and trust. Please punish me!"
General Chen Hao, who fled in embarrassment from Linhai County, knelt on one knee, his forehead close to the smooth mahogany floor, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, General Chen Hao, the general of the country, returned with a great defeat, resulting in the death of one hundred thousand soldiers on the battlefield, and should be severely punished. However, in view of his past merits and contribution to the kingdom, I hope that your majesty will give General Chen Hao of the country a
A chance to atone for your sins."
He glanced at Chen Hao, who was kneeling on the ground. He was wearing a black silk robe, a pair of tiger leather boots, and a sapphire ring on his right index finger. There were traces of wrinkles on his forehead, and sparkles flashed from time to time in his eyes.
The Imperial Minister of Military Affairs stood up from his seat, looked at King Wu and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, what the Minister of Military Affairs said makes sense! Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. Finding a way to deal with the traitor Ye Chen as soon as possible is the top priority right now."
As soon as the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs finished speaking, the Imperial Financial Minister, who was dressed in brocade clothes, had a big belly, and squinted his small eyes, stood up and responded loudly.
"Chen Hao, please tell me the story of your defeat in detail."
Seeing the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs and the Imperial Minister of Finance interceding for Chen Hao, King Wu's eyes flashed with displeasure. He glanced coldly at Chen Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Finance speaking for him, Chen Hao knew that nothing would happen to him, so he put down his worries and recounted in detail the experience of his defeat on the front line.
Of course, Chen Hao would not be stupid enough to tell the truth honestly. Instead, he would exaggerate the number and strength of Ye Chen and his army, and at the same time hint that he was waiting for the holy warriors of the Wu Kingdom.
He was so brave and skilled in fighting, but in the end he was outnumbered. Most of the 100,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and several saint-level warriors also died. In order to preserve the empire's high-end combat power, they had no choice but to issue a retreat order and bring back the intelligence of Ye Chen and Linhai County.
"What are you talking about? Ye Chen actually has thirty saint-level warriors and three hundred thousand elite troops. He set up an ambush halfway and killed all the one hundred thousand troops under your command?"
As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, King Wu looked at Chen Hao with suspicion and asked loudly.
Chen Hao's words really make people unbelievable. If Ye Chen really had such a strong strength, how could he honestly leave the imperial capital and go to the barren Linhai County to become a lord? How could he honestly and unconditionally transfer his family's property to him?
Hand it over!
Seeing the suspicious look on King Wu's face, Chen Hao was not surprised. Instead, he looked up at King Wu and said, "Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the imperial capital for a long time that the large magic crystal mine in Linhai County was left behind by the ancient goblins.
Hidden are the treasures left behind by the ancient goblins.
According to my guesses and observations, the thirty saint-level warriors under Ye Chen's command may have just been promoted from ninth-level warriors to holy-level warriors after taking the treasures left by the ancient goblins."
Hearing Chen Hao's words, King Wu's eyes flashed with a strange look. He had also heard of this rumor in the imperial capital, but he just didn't believe it very much! Now when he heard Chen Hao say it, he couldn't help but believe it a little bit, otherwise
, how to explain that Ye Chen suddenly had thirty more saint-level warriors under his command!
"Your Majesty, Ye Chen disobeyed the empire's orders, attacked the imperial army without permission, and sent troops to occupy Qinglong County, which seriously trampled on the dignity and honor of the empire. We must attack to maintain the dignity and honor of the empire. I represent the fatherless Southern Duke.
, are willing to send 100,000 troops and three saint-level warriors to conquer Ye Chen."
As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, the eldest son of the Southern Duke, who was sitting next to him, stood up and expressed his position loudly.
Linhai County has a large magic crystal mine, which has already made the eldest son of the Duke of the South covet. Now there is another goblin treasure, and he is even more impatient to take Linhai County under his control. He can't help but be the first to express his position.
.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of my father, the Duke of the North, I am willing to send 100,000 troops and three saint-level warriors to conquer Ye Chen!"
"Your Majesty, on behalf of my father, Duke Dongfang, I am willing to send 100,000 troops and three saint-level warriors to conquer Ye Chen!"
"Your Majesty, on behalf of my father, the Duke of the West, I am willing to send soldiers, three holy warriors, to conquer Ye Chen!"
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the General Club, I am willing to send 200,000 troops and five saint-level warriors to conquer Ye Chen!"
As soon as the eldest son of the Duke of the South finished speaking, the other three eldest sons of the Dukes sitting nearby, as well as the representatives of the General Club, stood up and expressed their opinions loudly.
The large magic crystal mine in Linhai County, as well as the goblin treasures hidden in it, are of great value. Whoever falls into the hands will have a rapid increase in strength and influence in a short period of time, overwhelming other forces. Therefore, the four Dukes
Both the General Club and the General Club want it and are unwilling to give up.
After hearing the words of the eldest son of the four great dukes and the representatives of the General Club, King Wu's lowered eyes flashed with an icy cold light. He looked at the eldest sons of the four great dukes and the representatives of the General Club in the conference hall with a smile and said loudly:
"Since you all safeguard the dignity and glory of the kingdom, I, the king of the kingdom, have an even greater responsibility!
Now, I appoint General Lu Jian as the commander and Chen Hao as the vanguard to lead the Second Army Corps stationed outside the Imperial City, the Fifth Army Corps stationed in Yanping County, and the Seventh Army Stationed in Qingping County, with a total of 600,000 imperial troops.
The standing army, twenty saint-level warriors, combined with the 600,000 troops of the four great dukes and general clubs, and nineteen saint-level warriors, conquered Ye Chen and recovered Qinglong County and Linhai County."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As soon as King Wu finished speaking, everyone in the conference hall responded loudly.
They all know that the reason why King Wu sent so many troops and saint-level warriors is because he wants to take the lion's share of the spoils and obtain the most resources when scraping large-scale magic crystal mines and goblin treasures, so that he can maintain his power.
The dominance remains unshakable.
In this way, 60% of the Wu Kingdom's army and 80% of the holy warriors were mobilized and were about to attack Linhai County.
In the residence of Hadas, the second prince of Wu Kingdom.
"Your Highness, according to reliable information, Young Master Ye Chen led his army to defeat the one hundred thousand army led by Chen Hao, and took advantage of the situation to occupy Qinglong County, stationed the army at Qinglong Pass, and established himself as king. Chen Hao and more than ten holy warriors,
Abandoning an army of 100,000 and returning in embarrassment, His Majesty called him to the conference hall for discussion and questioning."
A man in black lowered his head and reported the news he had just received to the second prince Hadas.
"General Chen Hao of Zhenguo has the strength of a three-star saint-level warrior. The 100,000 troops under his command are also one of the most elite armies in the empire. There are also twenty saint-level warriors to help. The Ye family, except for the dead Ye
Apart from Ying, there is not a single saint-level warrior, and only a Ye family army of ten thousand people is available, how could Chen Hao return in a disastrous defeat?"
Hearing the words of the man in black, the second prince Hadas was shocked and asked with some confusion.
"Your Highness, according to reliable information, Young Master Ye Chen has been promoted to a holy warrior. At the same time, there are thirty ninth-level warriors in the Ye family army who have been promoted to holy warriors. At the same time, the Ye family army of more than 10,000 people has also expanded to 300,000 people.
The scale of the attack was such that the 100,000-strong army led by Chen Hao was ambushed by the 300,000-strong army led by Ye Chen and 30 holy-level warriors. The entire army was destroyed, and only a dozen holy-level warriors escaped safely."
After hearing what the second prince Hadas said, the man in black quickly explained.
In fact, what the man in black didn't know was that the information he obtained was used by Chen Hao to let people go on purpose to help him get rid of the charges.
"Oh! That's it! I didn't expect that boy Ye Chen to have such good luck! However, his courage to establish himself as king makes me admire him even more. I don't know how long he can continue to be arrogant!"
After hearing the explanation of the man in black, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the second prince Hadas, and he said calmly.
"Your Highness, according to the news from the palace informants, Your Majesty has appointed General Lu Jian as the commander-in-chief and Chen Hao as the vanguard to lead the kingdom's 600,000 standing army and 20 saint-level warriors, joining the four great dukes and six members of the General Club.
One hundred thousand troops, nineteen saint-level warriors, a total of 120,000 troops, thirty-nine saint-level warriors, to conquer Ye Chen!"
As soon as the second prince Hadas finished speaking, the man in black reported in a low voice.
"Oh, I know! Go down!"
After hearing the words of the man in black, the second prince Hadas waved his hand gently and said.
"Ye Chen, I really made a mistake. I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. Not only did you dare to resist the empire, but you also dared to declare yourself king. You are so bold! I just don't know if you can get through the difficulties in front of you!"
After the man in black left, the second prince Hadas whispered to himself.
However, the second prince Hadas knew that no matter what the outcome of the army's conquest, unless Ye Chen wanted to die, it would be difficult for Ye Chen to die.
After all, he is a holy warrior and is protected by thirty holy warriors. Even if he loses to the empire's army, he can leave calmly and wander around the world.
In a restaurant in the middle of the bustling commercial street of the Imperial Capital of Wu Kingdom.
"Have you heard that the son of the general Ye Ying, Ye Chen, the famous waste and romantic young man in the imperial capital, not only became a saint-level warrior, led his army to defeat the 100,000-strong army led by General Chen Hao, but also
He took the opportunity to occupy Qinglong County, proclaimed himself king, and challenged the empire!"
"Ye Chen's luck is so damn good! After being demoted to Linhai County, he actually got a large magic crystal mine and the treasure left by the ancient goblins, which greatly increased his strength and power!"
"Linhai County has a large magic crystal mine and goblin treasures. Why don't we form a team and go to Linhai County to try our luck!"
",,,"
A low-level businessman, mercenary, and adventurer discussed loudly while drinking and eating meat with his friends.
"It is said that Ye Chen likes jade very much. He may be a good big customer!"
Zhang Xu, who was sitting alone in a restaurant drinking, heard the comments around him and thought about Ye Chen's love for jade, so he couldn't help but whisper to himself.
