Li Chengdao walked into the main hall, Yue Lang stepped forward quickly, handed the information to Li Chengdao, and said: "Your Majesty, I just received a letter, Long Chen has sent troops."
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Why panic? They will come as soon as they come. I knew they were coming."
After speaking, Li Chengdao sat down on the chair next to him.
This is a chair specially made for Li Chengdao.
In the main hall, apart from Yue Lang, only Li Chengdao was qualified to sit and talk.
"According to Cheng Hui's information, Long Chen has 50,000 elite soldiers this time, and the accompanying army has 300,000, which is far more than..."
Yue Lang spoke very quickly and looked panicked.
Li Chengdao reprimanded: "Why are you panic? Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, do they dare to enter the holy realm? Do they dare to come in?"
"Ordinary soldiers dare not enter the holy realm due to the severe cold. Only half-ghost elite soldiers dare to enter. Their number is only fifty thousand. What are you afraid of!"
Yuelang was born in the ice field and has no concept of severe cold. He feels that it is natural here.
Li Chengdao came from outside and knew what the severe cold of the ice field meant to ordinary soldiers.
"Yes, you are right. They dare not enter. Our soldiers have the advantage in numbers."
"Then...what do you...the emperor say?"
Yue Lang's excitement slowly calmed down.
"Call the clan elders over. Long Chen has sent out troops. Counting the time, we should assemble the army and prepare for the battle."
Li Chengdao unfolded the information again and read it carefully.
"They should still be in the south, some time away from the Hera Pass."
"First gather the troops and form a vanguard army. I will personally lead the battle."
Yue Lang sent a maid to summon the elders of various clans. Yu Nan came in from outside, and Yue Lang asked him to call Yu Lang.
Soon, the great elder Ke Ling, the left and right priests Mo Le and Ming Shark, as well as the elders of each clan, Yu Nan, Yu Lang and Yan Shou all arrived.
Yue Lang sat at the head, Li Chengdao sat next to him, and the others stood.
"I just got the information. Long Chen led his troops and set off. The target is our Saint Clan."
Yue Lang's expression was very serious, his voice sounded very calm, and only he knew the panic in his heart.
"This time, Long Chen will attack the Holy Realm, we must defend it!"
"Everyone has seen how ferocious Long Chen is. When he invaded Moon City, only a few clan members escaped, and all the clan elders were killed."
Yue Lang mentioned again the tragic situation of Yu Wenkai's attack on Yue City, and the expressions of the clan elders below suddenly changed.
"How does Your Majesty plan to respond?"
Great Elder Keling asked.
Yuelang looked at Li Chengdao, and everyone also looked at Li Chengdao, waiting for him to speak.
Li Chengdao slowly spoke: "Don't panic, everyone. Although the Saints were defeated at Yanmen Pass, the King and His Majesty were even killed in battle."
"But it doesn't matter. Yanmen Pass is Long Chen's territory. The Holy Land is different. This is the territory of the Holy Clan."
"The Holy Land is extremely cold. Long Chen's invasion with his troops cannot last long, and the number of people cannot be large."
"So, let me say something first, clan elders, don't panic, human soldiers are not scary."
The clan elders felt a little more at ease.
The left priest Moeller asked: "The emperor and Long Chen have been fighting for a long time, and the emperor still needs to make an idea for this battle."
Other clan elders echoed: "Yes, the emperor knows how to use troops, but we don't."
"Only the Emperor can resist Long Chen's invasion. We must rely on the Emperor."
Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I am in the Holy Realm, just like the Holy Clan, I have a blood feud with the little thief Long Chen."
"I will definitely lead the Saints to defeat Long Chen, and even kill Long Chen's little thief here."
"I'm not talking big words. My two children have a higher level of cultivation than the King and His Majesty. Of course they are stronger than me."
"If Long Chen and the Empress dare to come, I will kill them with my own hands!"
The clan elders said happily: "With these words from the Emperor, we can rest assured. We all rely on the Emperor's command."
"That's the emperor's order. We must act in accordance with what the emperor said."
More than twenty clan elders were fawning over them, and Yue Lang felt uncomfortable watching them.
Li Chengdao was the king and no one praised him.
"The emperor is the general of the Saint Clan, and it is his duty to lead the troops in battle. I authorize the general to command all the soldiers of the Saint Clan."
"Yunan, Yulang, you two will be the general's lieutenants and command the left and right armies. You must obey the general's orders."
Yue Lang deliberately spoke loudly to let all the clan elders hear clearly that he was the king of the Saint Clan and the Saint Clan's army was in his hands.
The clan elder below was not stupid, he immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Great Elder Keling asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the strategy is for resisting this time?"
Yuelang had no idea at all, so he looked at Li Cheng and said, "I authorize the general to command the troops. The general must have a plan."
Li Chengdao said: "It's a long journey from Yuncheng to Hera Pass, and Long Chen's army is a tired one."
"My intention is to select elite warriors to block the attack at the Hera Pass. First, consume Long Chen, and then lure the enemy deep into the Holy Land to bury them in the sea."
The Great Elder Ke Ling hesitated and said: "Actually... I think the strategy your Majesty mentioned before is a good one, which is not to engage in a head-on battle with Long Chen, but to retreat to the north. Long Chen will naturally retreat after staying in the Holy Realm for a short time."
This was what Yue Lang said when he persuaded the elders.
"I also remember His Majesty said that this strategy is still very good."
"The Holy Land is our territory. As long as we retreat to the dark place, Long Chen can't find anyone and can only retreat."
"Yes, I agree with His Majesty's strategy."
Yue Lang looked at Li Chengdao, he actually didn't want to fight Long Chen.
Li Chengdao smiled and said, "Your Majesty said this at the beginning because the Saint Clan did not have a master to take charge and would suffer in a frontal battle."
"So choose a weak style of play, avoid its edge, and delay it as long as you can."
"Now that I am here, why should you be afraid of little thieves?"
"Long Chen is from outside and cannot last forever. This is true."
“But wouldn’t it be better if it could be solved once and for all?”
"Long Chen can't find anyone this time. Come back next time, and then the next time. How long will the saints hide?"
"At this moment, at that moment, I am here and can fight head-on."
"Let me ask you one more question, don't you want revenge?"
"When Yuwenkai invaded Moon City, where were your relatives? Weren't they killed by Yuwenkai?"
After saying these words, all the clan elders were shaken.
Li Chengdao turned to look at Yuelang and asked: "Your Majesty, are you willing to hide in Tibet? If you can't even defend your own palace, how can your tribe obey you?"
Yue Lang was provoked and said: "The emperor is right, we cannot give in blindly, we must avenge the dead tribesmen and avenge the late king!"
"Long Chen must be very tired after coming all the way, just like we were before, so don't be afraid, we will just guard the mountain pass."
"That place is higher than Yanmen Pass. I don't believe Long Chen can break it."
Yu Nan said: "Your Majesty is right. The mountains on both sides of the canyon are tens of thousands of meters high, while Yanmen Pass is only a few dozen meters high."
Yuelang became more confident, looked at Li Cheng and said: "General, I am relying on you for this battle."
Li Chengdao stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty will wait for the good news."
"Yunan, Yulang, hurry up and order troops and follow me on the expedition."
Yu Nan and Yu Lang looked at Yue Lang, who nodded, and they followed Li Chengdao out.
