Chapter 265 Xuanwu Crown Prince
"Report to Your Majesty, according to the battle report on the front line, the veteran General Zhou Hongzhou pointed out that the reason why the navy of the Xuanwu Empire was so easy to break through the defense line this time was mainly because the 150,000 troops recruited from the Kong family were somewhat unstable and refused to fully cooperate with the Zhou family's dispatch, which made such a big mistake on the battlefield! It led to the ultimate loss of Lingxiao City!"
The two guards kneeling in front of the old emperor, seeing that the old emperor was in a furious trend, one of them quickly revealed the information he knew, but there was inevitably a bit of panic in his tone.
"What--!? Could General Zhou want to tell such a humiliating defeat to the Kong family? Why is the morale of the army unstable? Now that the Kong family has been destroyed, can the 150,000 army still turn against the sky? How can we not obey the order on the battlefield? "
It was obvious that the old emperor was a little disbelief of the words of the guard. Although the army originally belonged to the Kong family suddenly changed its master and it was indeed a bit difficult to adapt to and get used to it for a while, if you want to make a little temper when facing offenders from other countries, this is not the style of a soldier! The old emperor still has this confidence! The Kong family's strict training for the Kong family's army was not just a joke!
"This - my subordinates are not very clear about it. They just heard such news from the front line... For the detailed situation, I believe that General Zhou will come in person as His Majesty reported it."
Facing such an old emperor, the guard did not dare to speak randomly, and quickly lowered his head and accused him of guilt.
"Hmph - useless thing! The Xuanwu Empire is probably the country with relatively weak military strength among our five empires. Even the Zhuque Empire has not been able to capture half of the land of my Shenlong Empire over the years. Instead, they let them take it first!? Communicate it to Zhou Hong. If this Lingxiao City cannot be brought back within ten days, their Zhou family will be waiting to bear all the consequences!"
After roaring coldly, the irritable old emperor wanted to leave the court to have a good rest for a night, but hesitated that another guard kneeling there said, "Your Majesty... There is another thing. My subordinates also heard some rumors about soldiers, and I don't know whether it is true or false..."
"If there is any news, I will report it all. I will tell you the truth clearly!"
"Yes - Your Majesty, according to the oral discussions of some soldiers on the front line, there is another important reason why Lingxiao City fell so quickly this time, and the sudden tactical changes of the Xuanwu Empire were released. It seems that it was because the new crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire came to the front line to supervise the battle, which greatly increased the momentum of the navy. Moreover, the crown prince himself is also an extraordinary master and wise man. He has extraordinary help to the Xuanwu Empire's army. Only when one rises and the other goes down will it..."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the old emperor's face. Although he had thought that the Xuanwu Empire would take some measures in the event of several successive attacks on the Shenlong Empire, he did not expect that they would even send out the crown prince who succeeded to the next generation of monarchs! Let the future king of a country go to the front line of the battlefield to supervise the battle, which is both a bet and a kind of confidence! If the prince had no ability, the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire would not have let his children come out so safely!
"It's interesting. Parker's old ghost has always been cautious and cautious. In the past few attacks on my Dragon Empire, all of them have more tentative feints. There are few times when I really want to attack! Now, I've sent out my own baby son? Very good! I want to see how capable your baby son is! If you want to touch my Dragon Empire, how many years are you missing in your Xuanwu Empire!"
A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and the old emperor had a sneer on his lips. He had not treated military war well for many years, because the four empires around had not really attacked the Shenlong Empire in the middle for five years. Now, perhaps because he heard the repeated civil strife in the Shenlong Empire, those guys saw the opportunity. So, the Xuanwu Empire was the first to jump out unbearably!
At this time, the second head-on confrontation between the Zhou family army and the Xuanwu Empire naval army had begun overnight, but the difference was that this time the attack was the army of the Shenlong Empire, and its purpose was naturally to retrieve the lost sea city Lingxiao City as soon as possible!
"Kill-kill-kill-kill-kill-"
The loud shouts were particularly loud in the middle of the night, as if even the bright moon in the sky was about to be shaken down. The Zhou family's 150,000 army joined forces with the Kong family to form a 150,000 army, a total of 300,000 army embarked on warships towards the island on the coastline. On that island was Lingxiao City, the most border of the Shenlong Empire, which could also be regarded as the military fortress of the Zhou family's army here! However, at this moment, the army of the Xuanwu Empire was just the army!
Above the walls of Lingxiao City, a young man in a gorgeous sky blue dress was looking at the overwhelming warship from afar with his hands on his back and thinking about the coming of the city, but his face was more of a silence and indifference, as if he did not take this terrifying army to heart.
"Your Highness, the Dragon Empire really wants to take advantage of the night to launch a counterattack. Now we are the one who occupies the right time and place. Are you now letting the elemental mage use water magic to overturn those ships?"
A man wearing a black magic robe who couldn't see clearly stood beside the young man with his hands hanging down, and asked softly. It was not difficult to tell from his words that the young man standing on the top of the city was the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire who came to the front line to fight with the master of the Xuanwu Empire!
"Don't worry, the Zhou army of the Dragon Empire is not a fool. They can also predict the tactics we can think of. If there are no powerful enough magicians on these warships to stop us, it would be a ghost! Let the mages be prepared and don't rush to take action. Since it is our side that occupies a favorable position, let's see what kind of combat capabilities these Dragon Empire's troops can have on the sea..."
There were waves of light flashing in his eyes. The Crown Prince, who was neither arrogant nor impatient, wouldn't talk about his strength at first. At least this calm mind was too much better than the Crown Prince of the Divine Dragon Empire!
While the two were talking, the warships of the Zhou family army in front had approached within five hundred meters in front of Lingxiao City, which was also a range that ordinary magicians could reach. On the warships, a large number of magicians in magic robes had appeared. They just waited for a command and launched a long-range attack! But like the prince of the Xuanwu Empire, the Zhou family army on this side had no intention of letting the magicians take action first!
"Father, why don't you let the mages attack first? If you get closer, it will only be even more unfavorable to them!"
On one of the warships, a man in armor asked anxiously to the elderly old man sitting in the center. If Long Jiu stood here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this man was Zhou Liyang, the third young master of the Zhou family who had seen once in the palace. He was the only man who did not really fight with all his strength in the graduation assessment!
The old man he asked about was naturally the current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Liyang's biological father, Old General Zhou Hongzhou. Because the city was easily broken, this Old General Zhou, who usually would not send out in person, had to wear armor to attack and supervise the battle!
"Don't be impatient, Yang'er, feel the situation on the opposite side carefully. From the beginning, I felt a sense of uneasiness. I always felt something was going to happen. I clearly saw our warship approaching, but those guys had no intention of resisting or stopping. This is definitely not normal! If the enemy does not move, I will not move. Let the fleet slow down and move forward, and all the mages and soldiers are ready! If the opponent has not moved within a 100-meter range, take all his strength!"
"yes--"
With Zhou Hong's words, the Zhou family's warship fleet suddenly reduced its speed by half, and slowly and vigilantly approached the opposite Lingxiao City, five hundred meters... four hundred meters... three hundred meters... two hundred meters...
Just as the last 100-meter distance designated by Zhou Hong was about to arrive, there was finally a movement in front of him. The sky-surgent fire light family came directly towards the Zhou family's fleet directly opposite him. However, the magicians of the Zhou family's army who had been fully prepared would not watch the fleet be attacked head-on!
"Here you come! Let them know the power of our Dragon Empire! Magic array preparation! Sea barrier-!"
With a leading middle-aged man shouting, dozens of water-attribute elemental mages who were already ready to use their solutions, gathering all the huge water elemental magic power together, condensing them into a huge sea barrier, blocking the entire fleet, and colliding with the oncoming fire light!
"boom--"
