The side hall of the palace.
"Cough cough cough!"
An old man wearing a dragon robe leaned on the dragon chair and coughed violently. After finally calming down, he looked at the fifteen princes kneeling below.
The old man is Emperor An Tong of the huge dynasty in the Jinyun World, and those kneeling below are his fifteen sons.
Emperor An Tong took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "The polar trolls have come out in force and have conquered several cities and crossed the Heisong River. The situation of our huge dynasty is extremely critical. The troops stationed on all sides are panicked and may not be able to do anything." Stop the trolls from going south. So I intend to mobilize an army of 200,000 to go north to annihilate the trolls. But I lack a commander to coordinate all parties. As princes and descendants of my Xiang family, you should have the ability to slay the trolls. Responsibility and responsibility, then, who is willing to take on this burden?”
All the princes knew that if they could take over the task of leading the army north, they would be able to perform well in front of the emperor and would be one step closer to the emperor's throne.
But leading an army to fight against the trolls going south is not just a matter of words.
Marching, defense deployment, intelligence, decision-making, logistics, etc., everything is not easy, and can even be called hellish difficulty. If you do it poorly or make a mistake, not only will you not be appreciated, but you may also be punished by military law. Destroy the world of mankind and become a sinner of mankind...
Moreover, every troll is a warrior, and their individual strength is countless times stronger than that of ordinary human soldiers.
Ten soldiers may not be able to gain an advantage against one troll, and it is basically impossible to fight a good battle.
The most important thing is that it is said that the troll leader Gemu has broken through to the Tianzang warriors, and his strength is unfathomable. If Gemu turns into a sharp knife and leads the trolls to attack and plunder, it will be difficult to resist. Maybe the commander's camp will be raided and beheaded by the opponent. , immediate death.
We must know that the reason why humans were able to defeat the trolls and become the masters of this continent was because of the birth of a Tenzo warrior. Under the leadership of the Tenzo warrior, the counterattack was completed. It can be seen that the deterrent power of the Tenzo warrior is very likely to be relied on by oneself. Complete the reversal of the trend.
So after the emperor finished speaking, most of the princes hesitated, because at this time, do less and make fewer mistakes.
Only the eldest prince, the prince, stood up and said: "Father, I am willing to put on armor and lead the army to go out to fight, and keep the trolls at the door."
Emperor An Tong shook his head: "No, the prince needs to guard the palace at critical moments and cannot go out easily."
The prince retired sadly. Although the emperor said so, the prince knew that the emperor was not optimistic about his ability and did not think he could lead the army well.
After a while, the second prince saw no one stood up, so he took a deep breath and said, "Father, I wish to go."
Emperor An Tong said without changing his expression: "Jifeng, tell me your strategy to annihilate the enemy."
The second prince immediately revealed the strategies he had been thinking about for a long time.
After the second prince finished speaking, Emperor An Tong nodded with satisfaction. After waiting for a moment, seeing that no one else had any different opinions, he announced that the second prince would accompany the army and assist the general to march north.
Only then did all the princes react suddenly. The prince was only 'assisting in commanding the army', not 'the first commander in chief'...
Xiang Dongping suddenly stood up and said: "Father, I would like to go north with the second brother Huang, and I can also share some chores with the second brother Huang."
…
After coming out of the palace, the second prince frowned and asked Xiang Dongping: "What are you going to do with me? This time things are different from the past. If you are not careful, you will die."
Xiang Dongping chuckled: "Because I can help the second brother Huang. Isn't the troll leader very powerful? I have a way to deal with him."
"any solution?"
"Send a heroic post to the world and tell the warriors all over the world that the troll leader Gemu has broken through to the 'Tianzang Warrior'. In the name of the royal family, we invite warriors from all over the world to kill the troll leader Gemu together. Who can get Gemu If he puts his head on his head, our royal family will personally award him with a plaque titled 'The Best Master in the World'. By then, countless warriors will inevitably go north to fight against the trolls for fame and fortune, so as to reduce the pressure on the defense."
The second prince looked at Xiang Dongping thoughtfully.
Xiang Dongping added: "And I have met Phantom Hand You Baojiang. If I find him and ask him to help manage the warriors who spontaneously go north, he will definitely not refuse. Brother Huang, don't underestimate the masters in the world. Strange people, if you get their help, you can often achieve unexpected results."
The second prince nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Not long after, the news that the troll leader Gemu broke through the "Tianzang Warrior" and was about to lead his army south spread throughout the continent. The official also officially sent a hero post to Jianghu, inviting warriors from all sides to take the head of the Tianzang Warrior.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the warriors throughout the world. Countless warriors enthusiastically discussed the matter of going north to collect the head of the troll leader Gemu.
Even the stall owner selling pork was eager to try. He chopped off the pig's head with a knife and said helplessly: "If I don't want to work, I have to go north and chop off that Tianzang warrior."
These words made everyone laugh: "You are the only one selling pork? Hahaha, you should just kill the pigs in peace!"
"Although I am only a secret sea warrior, my family and country are in trouble, so I have no obligation to refuse. I went north to meet the so-called troll. I am not afraid of everyone's laughter. I have dreamed of being able to kill a troll since I was a child."
"Let's go together, but I want to see how strong the so-called 'Tenzo Warrior' really is."
…
In a waterside pavilion on an island in the middle of the lake, a woman in red read the letters and royal tokens in her hand and smiled: "Invite me to go north to kill the Tianzang warrior Gemu? It's so interesting that I will go on behalf of Yongchangmen. There’s nothing wrong with joining in the fun.”
…
After Chun Guang Sword Zhu Tianming, who was drinking in the restaurant, heard the news, he smiled slightly, left quietly with his sword in his arms, and headed north.
…
In a courtyard, the phantom hand You Baojiang said in surprise: "I never thought that Mr. Xiang would be a noble prince. I hope you will forgive me for being rude before."
Xiang Dongping waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency Phantom Hand You Baojiang has a very high reputation and status in the Jianghu. He is recognized and respected by everyone. Although he is not known as the leader of the Jianghu, he is better than the leader of the Jianghu. I am here this time. I want to invite Your Excellency You Baojiang as the representative of the warriors going north, and organize the warriors to jointly take down the Gemu skull. I wonder what Your Excellency You Baojiang would like?"
When You Baojiang heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately smiled and said: "Since the prince invites you, you should do your best."
…
Liu Yueling, who was traveling all the way, came to a small town and heard the news about the trolls. She was very surprised: "The trolls are going south again? And the troll leader Gemu actually broke through to the Tianzang warrior."
Inexplicably, she thought of Zhuang Hong and said to herself: "I wonder if Zhuang Hong is also the legendary Tianzang warrior... But if Zhuang Hong learns this news, he will definitely go north, right?"
…
In Xitang Town, an old man caught Erniu sneaking out, picked him up with one hand and asked, "Where are you going, Erniu?"
Erniu: "I want to go north to kill the troll Gemu."
The old man casually pulled out a piece of wood and hit Er Niu: "Go north to your uncle's north! Stay at home for me! Everyone else is running south, but you are the only one who wants to go north to get your head."
…
For a time, humans on the entire continent were discussing the matter of trolls enthusiastically.
For people in this world, killing trolls is an instinct burned into their flesh and blood. This is the instinct of hatred formed after tens of millions of years of fighting against the trolls.
Although humans have completely defeated the trolls and driven them into the far north, they have not yet completely wiped out the trolls. Everyone subconsciously worries that one day in the future, the trolls will resurrect and bring endless dangers. An unstoppable force sweeps across the land.
Only by wiping out all the trolls in this world can everyone truly feel at ease.
However, as an outsider, Zhuang Hong cannot deeply understand this instinct of hatred.
For this reason, when he heard the news, he just sighed: "There is going to be a war. The history of human growth is always accompanied by war and blood, whether on earth or in other worlds..."
Then he put this matter behind him and continued to follow his feelings northward.
