C68 The Imperial Decree!
At the edge of the Purple Cloud Empire, there was a wall that was almost six stories tall. In the middle of the wall, there were three big words - Border Cloud City.
There was a lot of blood on the side of the wall, as well as bows and arrows. There were even traces of the siege. There were also many corpses on the ground that were too late to clean up. It was like hell on earth.
On the city wall of Border Cloud City, all of them looked tired, but their faces were unusually determined. Some were young, some were middle-aged. They were the city guards of Bian Yun!
It was also the first checkpoint of Zi Yun. Behind them were their families and thousands of civilians. They would not retreat, but they would die there.
The people in the city were also anxious. They hurriedly packed up their belongings and left the place.
The City Lord's Mansion!
One! In a very simple and crude hall, a tall and sturdy figure sat at the head of the table. The figure had a resolute expression and sharp eyes. Next to him hung a large saber that was nearly two meters long and twenty centimeters wide.
It was as if a peerless vicious beast was sleeping.
This person was the Border Cloud City's City Lord, Blade. Next to him was his weapon, named Blade Ba!
There were also four armored guards sitting beside him, looking at him with different expressions.
Blade said in a deep voice, "Everyone, what do you think? The Empire's reinforcements will arrive in two days. How should we defend against these two days?"
A somewhat sloppy voice sounded from below, "What else can we do? With our few troops, we are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth! Of course, we should abandon the city and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before seizing it! "
" The chaos begins with what the f * ck are you talking about? Are you saying that we have to abandon the people in the city and ignore them? Run for our lives?" A person beside him said angrily.
" Liao Fei, stop saying such nonsense, or else what? Die together with them? Most of the young and strong people had already left, leaving only the elderly, the weak, the women and children. If they die, then so be it. In any case, they won't be able to live for much longer!" Luan Shi said coldly.
When Liao Fei heard this, he directly stood up and glared at him and said, "You can even say these words? Our duty is to guard Border Cloud City and protect the people. If we escape, isn't that against the mission of a soldier?"
Chaos begins from staring at him without fear and sneers: "Mission? Hmph! Our mission is not to protect the old, the weak, and the women. If we die here, won't the empire lose another batch of elites?"
" For the sake of some people whose bodies are almost buried in the earth, is there a need for us to be buried with them? Ah?"
The two people beside them looked at them without saying a word. They did not say anything either. Blade frowned and a cold look appeared in his eyes. It was like snow flying and frost. The air in the entire room seemed to have cooled down.
Sensing this aura, Luan Shi and Liao Fei trembled and quickly sat down.
"The old, the weak, women and children are also ordinary people, so I will not give up on anyone. Chaos begins with you all. I do not want to hear words like abandoning them again. Only this time, never again! " Blade's tone was filled with cold killing intent.
The few of them trembled, and quickly got up and said, "Yes!"
Only Chaos Beginning's face was gloomy and a strange light flashed in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking!
...
In the main hall of Duke's Mansion!
At this moment, a eunuch was holding an Imperial Decree in his hand. He was standing there with a respectful expression on his face. Luo Jingtian was sitting at the head seat.
Luo Chen was standing at the side, and Luo Tian was also there, because this Imperial Decree was passed down to him.
This made him very puzzled. How could there be an Imperial Decree on his body? This made him speechless. It seemed like he had never seen this king before!
"Eh, that, this is an Imperial Decree. Duke, what do you think?" The eunuch lowered his posture and said somewhat nervously.
"Yes, read it," Luo Jingtian said slowly.
This time, Luo Tian had completely let Luo Tian witness the might of the Luo family. The eunuch who passed down the decree represented the king!
He did not expect that the eunuch did not have the intention of making him kneel down. Even the announcement had to be approved by his grandfather. This was a bit too awesome!2
Hearing his words, the eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. He opened the Imperial Decree and smiled at Luo Tian, causing his scalp to go numb.
What the f * ck are you smiling at me for? You bastard, reading the Imperial Decree properly is not over.
"By the will of the heavens, the king declares that today, I have received the battle report. In the past, the enemy kingdom, the Fanyu, invaded my country, killed my soldiers and generals, and slaughtered my subjects!
The king is furious. In order to showcase the majesty of the Purple Cloud Empire, and to make my subjects even more willing to pay blood debts, this title is unique!
Order the son of Luo Chen, Luo Tian, to be the deputy commander of the army, to cooperate with Lincoln to head to the Border Cloud City and repel the invading troops. This is the king's order!"
After the eunuch finished reading, he directly raised the Imperial Decree above his head with both hands and respectfully handed it to Luo Tian.
After that, he said, "Duke, this old servant will take his leave now!"
Luo Jingtian frowned and nodded slightly. The eunuch left.
The three of them did not understand what the meaning of the king's decree was. Why did he not let Luo Chen lead the army and instead let Luo Tian retreat?
Luo Chen's ability to lead the troops was obvious to all. He was many times stronger than that Lincoln.
However, Luo Chen didn't think too much about it. He was a man! How could he not be a soldier and go out to train? Furthermore, he was a man of the Luo family.
He said to Luo Tian, "Tian, it's good that you go out to train. With the ability of the Fanyu, if they hadn't retreated in time, I would have taken down their empire. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
His expression was full of disdain.
Luo Jingtian didn't think that way. He had a feeling that there was something fishy going on here. However, when he thought about how the empire wasn't peaceful, and the appearance of the Human Devil and the Devil Cultivator, he didn't have any intention of stopping him.
Luo Tian frowned. He didn't understand why a child like him who had never been on the battlefield could become the deputy commander. Was this a good idea?
Furthermore, his father and grandfather didn't have any strange intentions. Instead, they encouraged him.
He still hadn't fully realized the power of his family. It wouldn't be strange even if Luo Tian was appointed as the commander today.
Luo Tian thought for a moment. Anyway, he had nothing to do here, and he could hide from them for a while. Van Qiong agreed immediately.
The Imperial Decree had already been passed down. The father and son were still discussing whether they should go or not. It must be said that they were too arrogant!
In the afternoon, at the battlefield!
The area here was very large. It was not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the middle, there was a platform that was about three meters tall.
A military flag was hung on the platform, a huge Lin character was printed on it, it looked extremely majestic.
Lincoln wore a golden armor on his upper body, and he stood in the middle with a dignified expression on his face. He didn't even sweat when facing such a huge sun. It had to be said that his physical fitness was quite good.
There were thousands of people standing below him, looking at him without saying a word. Their eyes were filled with desire, or perhaps it could be said that they were disappointed.
