The Emperor is Above

Chapter 573: The Army Gathers
The cold wind was howling in the border fortress in October.

The two senior ministers Yang Lezi and Huo Yun returned safely to the fortress.

Not only did they bring back the head of King Xianyu, they also brought news of the destruction of the Xianyu tribe.

This victory, which should have been extremely inspiring, did not make tens of thousands of soldiers feel relaxed at all.

Because a hundred miles north of the border town fortress, hundreds of thousands of Xianyu tribesmen are still stationed there, and new Xianyu tribesmen come to join them every day.

The confluence of the Yunling and Yuanshan mountain ranges forms a sheltered area of ​​hundreds of miles in radius, where the tall forests of the Yuanshan Mountains block the cold wind from the north.

There is still some green grass on the sunny slopes of valleys of varying sizes, and dense forests block the frost and snow. If there were no war, this would be the best winter resort north of Yunling.

Under Qing Yi's command, six or seven hundred thousand Xianyu tribesmen and tens of millions of cattle and sheep almost filled this vast winter resort, making it particularly lively.

However, the Xianyu tribe has been completely defeated after all. Hundreds of thousands of Xianyu people gathered here, which can only make the soldiers in the border town worry.

What made them fall into mental fear was the extremely hidden army of tree spirits and stone spirits.

This fear has nothing to do with friend or foe.

It is the natural fear of other intelligent races that creates the sense of insecurity.

Now, whenever the soldiers in the border towns look at any mountain, forest or rock, they think there is a group of hidden monsters.

There was even a group of soldiers who saw a few mottled rocks while patrolling. They immediately thought that they were stone spirits blocking the road, and they were so scared that they ran back to the city in a hurry.

Yang Lezi and Huo Yun were helpless about the border town soldiers' panic-stricken behavior, and could only be thankful that Qing Yi did not have much ill will towards the State of Xing.

Otherwise, given that the ministers in the court kept targeting him and regarded the attack on Qing Yi as a victory over Xing Hou, it was possible that they created an extremely powerful enemy.

When several Flying Eagle Guards flew to the capital with news of the great victory in the border town, letters from the two ministers, and the head of King Xianyu and other trophies, the intersection of Yunling and Yuanshan was also bustling.

"Wow, I thought we were amazing for gathering hundreds of thousands of Xianyu tribesmen in the past ten days, but I didn't expect that Brother Yi would subdue the 100,000 elite soldiers under the Xianyu King and 500,000 to 600,000 Xianyu tribesmen in such a short time."

Tun Shigu stood on an armored vehicle, his eyes wide open, looking in disbelief at the countless Xianyu troops in front of him.

But then he smiled and glanced at the endless livestock, muttering to himself, "Hey, I'm rich this time, tens of millions of livestock, and so many exotic beasts and horses!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

Shen Buhai and Shen Bumie could not help but shake their heads in regret, "I didn't actually witness with my own eyes how King Xianyu and his army of more than 100,000 men were defeated.

Even if we subdue 100,000 or 200,000 Xianyu tribesmen, it is still not as shocking as Longcheng Yi Yaqing, who had hundreds of thousands of people bow down to him in a casual conversation."

In contrast to the regrets of the two men, tens of thousands of generals of the coalition forces of the Central Plains princes were all smiling and whispering to each other about their joy.

"That's great. I thought the army would have to go through a tough battle heading north, but I didn't expect that we would encounter almost no tough enemies. Now even the Xianyu King is dead, and the Xianyu tribe is about to be completely destroyed."

"That's right. We have gained a great advantage by following Longcheng Yi Yaqing. When the army returns to Zhongzhou, we can tell everyone that we were responsible for the destruction of the Xianyu tribe."

"Yes, yes, yes. I can brag about this to my sons and grandsons for the rest of my life. It's incredible that such a tribe with a thousand-year heritage was destroyed just like that." "I don't think we can return to Zhongzhou so early. After all, in addition to the Xianyu tribe, there are also the Yuezhi people and foreign tribes in the wilderness. Have you seen the group of giants?

There are six first-grade grandmasters. If it weren't for Longcheng Yi Yaqing's efforts to subdue them, we would have been wiped out if we had encountered them."

"It is indeed difficult to deal with the foreign tribes in the wilderness. In addition, the Moon God Palace Master of the Yue clan is also a powerful saint. We still have to be careful in the future battles."

"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten the White Ape Lord's abilities? Yaqing has invited out Mr. Qingyu and Mr. Shuijing, and there is also Mr. Wuliu in the Dragon City Fengtu."

"Hehe, that's right. I really admire Longcheng Yi Yaqing's ability to make friends. As long as we follow Yaqing closely, we will definitely achieve success and there will be no danger."

Just as the generals and soldiers of the coalition forces were whispering, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, Liu Xu and others were also looking at the giant of the Qingtian clan in the distance with great curiosity from their war puppets.

"High, so high!"

Yang Hu was surprised and envious, and said, "I thought that the Wangmang giant's height of three feet and five feet was enough to stand proudly among all living beings in the world.

I didn't expect that the giants of the Qingtian clan could reach a height of fifty meters. I heard that they practiced ancestral skills, and once they reached adulthood, they would have the strength of the third or second rank.

Especially for those who advance to the first-grade Grandmaster realm, it is much easier than for us humans. On average, there is one first-grade expert for every hundred Qingtian giants."

"Yang Hu, why should we envy them!"

Zhu Zhiwu said nonchalantly, "According to myths and legends, the tallest giant of the Qingtian clan is only six feet tall, but our war puppets are all over ten feet tall.

As long as we continue to work hard at training and manipulate the combat power of the war puppets, we can fight against the second-grade judges on equal terms, and maybe one day we can even defeat the first-grade grandmasters."

While they were observing the Optimus Prime Titans, Optimus Prime and his eight hundred giant warriors were also observing fifty war puppets of various shapes with serious expressions.

"It seems that we took the right path by seizing the opportunity to submit to the Lord!"

Optimus Prime said solemnly to his giant companion, “It would have been fine if the lord had so many powerful Saint Realm Eldar around him before.

I didn't expect that the army under his command was so powerful. You have also seen the power of the 200 chariots that appeared in Longcheng Fortress. The lord has thousands of chariots under his command.

In fact, I think the army of strange beasts and ferocious birds under my lord's command is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how strong they are, they are just flesh and blood, and their numbers are limited after all.

On the contrary, as long as there are enough manpower and materials, these dozens of war puppets can obtain licenses continuously. This alone will make the lord invincible.

From now on, you must be loyal to the lord and not have any evil thoughts in your heart, otherwise you will regret it one day. "

When everyone was thinking about their own things, Qing Yi finally appeared in front of his retainers, private army, and subordinates. Mr. Qingyu, Mr. Shuijing, Shi Ling, and Qinghua were all beside him.

The White Ape Lord glanced at him unceremoniously and asked, "Yaqing, we were just about to continue to sweep the Xianyu tribe eastward, and we almost caught up with the tribe that Mochuo was in.

Why are you summoning all of us to gather here at this very moment? What are you thinking? Tell us all about it!"
