Zhan Long-Chapter 1041- Two Star God Generals provocation

God Dragon Horse neighed as I charged into the palace. Although I wasn't a Commander in chief now I was still the Royal Army General so no one stopped me. I entered the palace right away but noticed that there were many people there. Tan Taiyu, Qu Hu, Liang Yin, Ou Zhidi, Huyan Li, Situ Xin etc NPC generals were all here. Even Jiu Li City's three generals Shao Shiyang, Lin Qiong and Qin Yi were here. The higher ranked players were not here and they were probably preparing to settle the ancient imperial city.

…

"Master Li!"

Lochlan smiled, "Master Li definitely has a reason for rushing over right?"

"En!"

I looked at the official page and three days after the imperial city is finished, the second country war would begin. I said, "Does Your Majesty know about the city that appeared in front of the Deer Forest?"

Lochlan nodded, "En, I am discussing with Ocean Duke and the various generals on how to take it down. I heard that there are endless treasures and there are also lost techniques inside. If Tian Ling Empire obtains this treasure, our strength would definitely increase!"

"It would definitely be a bloody battle. Waterfront City's Floating Clouds and Xing Huo will definitely interfere. Nine Heavens City in the east is strong and will definitely try too. If we send troops without thinking, we might suffer losses. So, I would like to ask Your Majesty to hand over all control to me!"

Zhu Hai couldn't take it anymore and said, "Preposterous, how can we hand the troops to such a person?"

"Preposterous!"

On the side, the Purple Spirit Army General Huyan Li raged, "Master Li has been fighting wars since Pearl's times and blocked the Hybrid Demons so many times. He is Tian Ling City's god general. How can you say that he is lousy? Let me ask you Ocean Duke, when Master Li was leading the Tian Ling City troops to force back Lanais and Luo Ding, where were you. What rights do you have to judge his honor? Who even are you here? !"

I was shocked. I didn't expect this Huyan Li to be my supporter!

Zhu Hai's mouth was agape, "Master Li wants all the troops. I think that is not appropriate. If he wants to revolt, no one would be able to stop him!"

Situ Xin smiled, "Ocean Duke doesn't have to doubt. If Suiding Duke wanted to, this throne would have already been his. Why would he even wait until today?"

Lochlan stood up and smiled, "Master Li, are you really willing to take control?"

"Yes!" I nodded.

"Great!"

Lochlan didn't care about his status and jumped off. He took out a shining token and knelt down on one knee, "I shall greet the commander here. With Master Li here, I shall appoint you as Grand Executioner. You shall lead all troops and you can promote and demote anyone. With this, you can move all troops and if someone doesn't follow, you can punish them. For generals and soldiers ranked four and below, you can behead them without question!"

I was stunned. I only wanted the power to move troops but didn't expect Lochlan to trust me so much. Tian Ling City's powers were now all gathered into my hands.

I knelt down on one knee and was touched, "Li Xiao Yao will definitely go all out,

I will drip all my blood for the empire!"

Very good, even I was proud of what I said.

…

Lochlan helped me up, "Master Li please rise!"

He walked back to his throne and looked towards everyone, "War is about to begin and I have appointed Master Li as The Executor. From now onwards, Master Li is in charge of troops and he is the marshal. I hope that all of you can fight alongside Master Li, for our home, for Tian Ling City, for the future!"

The officials all knelt down onto the ground, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Hai looked at me unhappily but there was nothing he could do. He knelt and cupped his fists, "His Majesty is wise!"

When everyone got up, Situ Xin smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations Master Li. Oh no, I should be calling you Marshal li now!"

I smiled, "General Situ is being too nice."

Fire Dragon Army's Tan Taiyu smiled, "Marshal Li, I shall be under you from now onwards and I hope that you can give me advice!"

"Sure sure."

Lochlan smiled, "Since that is the case then I shall go enjoy the flowers. Generals and Master Li remain and discuss about the ancient imperial city!"

I nodded to show my thanks and looked on as Lochlan left.

Zhu Hai remained and he was unwilling to leave. I chased him, "Apart from generals, the others can leave. Goodbye Ocean Duke."

Zhu Hai fumed but there was nothing he could do. he scoffed and walked away with his few officials. The Jiu Li City like Lin Qiong etc all remained.

An old official said, "Marshal Li, His Majesty has cleaned up the side palace for you, Marshal Li and the fellow generals please follow me over."

I nodded and brought the Tian Ling City generals over. Apart from Q-Sword, the Commander ranked generals were all here. This was the first time I felt like I was holding power. En, not bad. At least each step of the plan would follow what I wanted. There would be nothing that went against me.

…

Side palace, a guards army soldier guarded this. Han Yuan was holding his sword alongside a bunch of Royal Army troops. With Royal Army here, no one dared to disobey rules, if not they would be beheaded!

A giant sandboard was placed inside and on it were the various cities and maps. I walked in front and said, "Generals please sit!"

The generals sat on the sides. I continued standing there and I pointed at where Tian Ling City, Waterfront City and Nine Heavens City intersected, "The ancient imperial city is here. Our adventurer army should be heading over from Ba Huang City. What do you think we should do?"

Fire Rhino Army General Shao Shiyang smiled, "Bring our Dragon Crystal Cannons and attack alongside the adventurers. Waterfront City's Flame Lion Army is just a rebel army. Nine Heavens City's Summer Fire Army, Dragon Beard Army and Ice Shield Army have large numbers but they aren't strong."

I nodded and smiled, "General Shao Shiyang is right, our opponents are not strong but I would like to ask something. Nine Heavens City and Waterfront City have millions of adventurers. We have fought them and know how strong they are. If we want to win, we have to be careful if not it would all be for nothing."

Shao Shiyang touched his nose and didn't continue.

Huyan Li cupped his fist, "Marshal Li, you are the commander of the army so your words are orders. Please say directly, there is no need to beat around the bush with us, we only know how to fight."

I nodded, "I would like a few armies to defend the border and focus our top troops in the Giant Demon Forest on the side of War God River. When the time is right, we will deal a lightning blow to the enemy!"

Shao Shiyang frowned, "So who does Marshal Li want to send to defend the border?"

Shao Shiyang looked annoyed by me and I learned from Situ Xin that Jiu Li City's Earth Ocean Army's general Qin Yi was a conservative person. He knew how to protect his troops and not suffer losses. These two weren't on the same side as me so it was best not to bring them, "Fire Rhino Army is strong so you should head to Sea of No Return to defend against Lanais."

Shao Shiyang cupped his fists, "Yes Marshal!"

Although he was annoyed but he still listened to my orders. This was a good sign.

After which, I said, "General Qin Yi, lead your Earth Ocean Army to the Bridge of Fate. Defend there and take charge of our border defence."

"Yes Marshal!"

After which, the bunch of generals got their orders. Fewer and fewer people remained in the hall. The last one was a young general which was Heaven Barrier Army's Commander- Lin Qiong. This was a commander who was God Tier 2 star. He was a really strong general and was much stronger than Situ Xin and Han Yuan.

"Commander Lin Qiong, why aren't you leaving?" I asked.

Lin Qiong's gaze was filled with disdain, "Marshal Li, we have met before and if I remember correctly, you were so weak and relied on tactics to kill Demon Dragon General right?"

I nodded, "So what?"

Lin Qiong stood up with pride, "A useless scholar, what gives you the rights to order me around? Don't think that just because you are Marshal Li, but in my eyes, you are just a person playing with power!"

I suppressed my rage, "Lin Qiong, how should I prove myself?" 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

"Defeat me!"

Lin Qiong pulled out his blade and Han Yuan did too, "Lin Qiong you want to revolt? Men, take him down and behead him!"

I waved, "No, bring the Royal Army down. I have words to speak to Commander Lin Qiong!"

His eyes were filled with questions but he didn't object. He closed the door and now only the two of us remained.

…

"What is considered defeating you?" I looked at him and pulled out Butterfly. To solo a 2 star God General, was crazy but I wanted to try!
