C4537 Ten Million Demon Beasts(part I)
The nobles looked at him strangely and awkwardly at each other. They all knew that in the previous battle, they were just bastards who won by lying down. They had stayed at the back the whole time. They did not have the courage to publicly choke Lin Hao, who was a great contributor to the war.1
In the end, they coughed and moved their eyes away from the Monarch. They consciously took a step away from the Monarch so that Lin Hao could talk to him alone.
"Why don't you usually have a proper appearance?" The Imperial Emperor whispered something to Gu Qingming, who was standing beside him. Then, he patted Gu Qingming's shoulder, indicating that Lin Hao could speak.
Like pouring beans in a bamboo tube, Lin Hao immediately repeated what Scout said. He also talked about how the Crown Prince went down the mountain to investigate, emphasizing the tens of millions of Demonic Beasts surrounding the mountain, as well as the numerous Demon Emperor Demon Kings.
However, the Imperial Emperor was not as worried as the Crown Prince. Instead, he was silent for a moment, then he looked at Gu Qingming and sighed helplessly, "As expected... Call the family chief and generals who came along."
Gu Qingming immediately nodded, and the Imperial Emperor turned and walked towards the back of the soldiers. Lin Hao also followed behind, wanting to see what Monarch Canglan wanted to do.
However, in an instant, Gu Qingming had already led those people over. With a wave of his sleeve, he opened up a barrier and temporarily turned this place into a soundproof office.
The generals did not say a word. They stood beside the Emperor obediently and all lowered their heads. As they waited for his orders, the clan leader and some of the powerful civil servants looked at each other in dismay. They asked in terror, "Imperial Monarch, the reason why we were summoned was..."
Lin Hao and the Emperor looked at each other and did not hide anything. They quickly told the story of the matter and deliberately exaggerated how powerful the Demonic Beast was. It made the faces of the civil servants turn a little pale.
This Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony was originally a celebration. The number of military officers and civil servants was only half. In order to prevent anything unexpected from happening in the Imperial Capital, most of the military officials were guarding the Imperial Capital. There were not many generals that were brought to the Great Desolate Mountain.
"Don't speak nonsense." The Imperial Emperor patted him on the shoulder, and his gaze swept over these clan heads and civil officials. " Presently, there were already tens of millions of Demonic Beasts at the foot of the Great Desolate Mountain, surrounding the foot of the mountain so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through. There are many Demon Emperor Demon Kings amongst them. "
"I need all of you to lead your armies and defend the various passes of the Great Desolate Mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are three lines of defense at the top of the mountain, blocking the Demonic Beast."
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals immediately lowered their heads and agreed. The civil servants hesitated for a moment. Although some of them reluctantly agreed, most of them had a troubled look on their faces.
A white-haired old man in a long brown robe respectfully cupped his hands. He took the lead and said, "Emperor, it's not that I don't want to work for Dynasty, but I have spent the rest of my life on the front line. I've dealt with documents every day, and the weapon at my waist has not been pulled out for more than ten years. "
The Emperor's solemn expression did not loosen in the slightest. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked somewhat sarcastically, "Elder Liang, you mean that you're old and want to go down the mountain and enjoy your life?"
"No, no, that is not what this old official meant." Elder Liang immediately lowered his head and knelt down in fear and trepidation. "Although I have a Martial Monarch cultivation, I am only a civil servant. If you want me to deal with the local affairs, I will not decline. But leading the troops to war... Imperial Emperor, please spare me, this old man who is only half a hundred years old! "
