C785 Like a Hot Knife Through Butter
A month later, Lee Yang's expedition army had expanded to two hundred thousand.
Three months later, the expedition army had conquered more than twenty cities, six of which were core cities. With Devil Capital as the center, the southwest front of Devil Realm had been occupied by Lee Yang.
Half a year later, the expedition army arrived at Devil Domain.
Apart from this city, the entire Devil Realm had been conquered by Lee Yang. Although the hearts of the people were still not very stable, the Demon Emperor's side had lost its momentum. Now, they could only defend the Devil Domain and put up a resistance.
Regarding this city, Lee Yang didn't really want to destroy it from the bottom of his heart. It would be a pity even if he only destroyed a little bit of it.
Because this city was really like a modern city. There were all kinds of cities in this city, making Lee Yang feel like he was going home.
But the cruelty of reality often gave people a blow to the head.
For the past six months, the expedition army had swept across the entire Devil Realm in a crushing manner. The speed at which they expanded was something Lee Yang and a few of his important generals did not expect. The morale of the army had also started to become restless. They felt that anything in front of them could be defeated. There were also some disharmonious voices within the army. The first batch of people from the expedition army. They began to claim to be officials and looked down on the new soldiers.
The cliques started to become serious.
It was actually very normal for such a situation to occur in the army, because no matter which dynasty it was in, such a situation could not be avoided. A good leader could regulate all kinds of forces. They liked this kind of conflict. Because there were fights that could highlight the prestige of the highest authority. The thing you are most afraid of is the peace below. You don't even know what your subordinates are thinking. This was the most terrifying part.
Lee Yang wasn't afraid of being a hillbilly. You can cause trouble, but you can't do anything out of line.
Fortunately, the current situation wasn't particularly bad.
At least, during the war, everyone had the same thoughts. The competition between them was also about who would be the first to conquer the city gate.
However, when they arrived at Devil Domain, the proud expedition army finally paid the price.
Because a weapon that they had never seen before had appeared in Devil Domain.
Magic cannon.
On the city walls of the Devil Domain, a series of magic cannons densely appeared. The power of one cannon was enough to blast a five to six meter deep hole in the ground. The range of the radiation was very wide. The expedition army did not know at first, but they still charged in the same way as before. In the end, before they reached the moat, they were blown up by the Magic Cannons. In an instant, they lost five thousand soldiers.
Lee Yang immediately ordered them to stop attacking when he heard the news.
He could not afford such a loss.
He had to find a way to get rid of these magic cannons.
However, Lee Yang had experienced the power of the Devil Domain. Apart from the magic cannons, the scariest thing about the Devil Domain was that there was a seal in the city.
This seal was personally designed by ___. It could be activated at the most critical moment to prevent any enemies from coming. Anyone who wanted to enter the Devil Domain would be killed by this seal, without exception.
Lee Yang was worried that the Devil Emperor would activate this seal. With so many of his soldiers, just the rations alone would be a huge problem for him.
Also, he didn't know how long the seal would last. If it remained in a stalemate, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Lee Yang.
If this city was completely self-sufficient, it wouldn't be a problem for it to last for three years.
Lee Yang didn't have the patience to play the siege game with the Devil Emperor for three years.
What should he do?
Lee Yang fell into deep thought.
"Lee Yang, I know you are here." A voice suddenly appeared in the sky, breaking the silence of the night.
Lee Yang walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky.
The Demon Emperor's figure appeared in the air, but it was just an illusion created by magic.
"Come and see me." The Devil Emperor said faintly, "A fair battle will decide the ownership of Devil Realm. Didn't you want to save your woman? Defeat me and you will know the method. It has been half a year, and the seals in their bodies are about to loosen. You don't have time."
Lee Yang said," I will definitely come and find you. I will. "
"I will wait for you at the usual place." After the Devil Emperor finished speaking, his figure faded away.
Lee Yang's expression was a little strange.
Qing and Liu Xin walked over and said, "Do you really want to go? This is clearly a trap."
Lee Yang smiled and said, "So what if it is a trap? I will go even if it is a trap. He is right. I can't wait any longer. During this period of time, the seals in Xia Jie and the others have become more and more violent. I am about to lose control. If I don't find a way to break them, Xia Jie and the others will die."
"But..." Qing still wanted to say something but Lee Yang stopped her.
"Stop talking. I know what to do. You guys wait here for my good news." Lee Yang gently hugged the two women, then turned around and went back into the tent.
Xia Jie and the others were lying there. Although it was very quiet, their faces seemed to be in pain and ferociousness.
Lee Yang sat down, gently touched Xia Jie's forehead, and then gently kissed on it.
"It's fine, Xia Jie. It's fine. Everything will be fine. Do you want your son? Actually, I was thinking that the little guy should be able to walk now. I can also call him Mom and Dad. But if we're not by his side, perhaps the little fellow will feel lonely. After the matters here are settled, how about we go and bring Tiger Head back? In the end, the child needs to be taken care of by himself. This way, he won't be unfamiliar." Lee Yang said indifferently.
"Nana, you must be talking about me again. You are quite unlucky to be with me. Do you hate me? She was doing business in the city, but she was suddenly brought to such a place. [You became like this without saying anything. If I were you...] I would also have hatred in my heart. I have let you down. "
" Jee Rou, with your hot temper, if you wake up, you will definitely beat me up. Am I right? I am really sorry. If possible, I will use my whole life to pay you back. If I can't do it in this lifetime, then I'll pay you back in my next life, until you're satisfied." Lee Yang said with a smile, "Are you happy with this? If you are happy, then give me something to show you. "
After Lee Yang finished speaking, hot tears rolled down from the corners of the three women's eyes.
Lee Yang's heart ached, but he also felt relieved.
He knew that his lover was clear in his heart, but he couldn't express what they were thinking.
Don't worry, my lover. I will bring you all back to the past.
Qing whispered to Lee Yang that Lang Lang was waiting outside.
Li Jun tidied up her emotions and walked out to say, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Devil King, are you really going to fight the Devil Emperor alone?" Lang Lang didn't try to hide his worries as he asked.
Lee Yang said with a faint smile, "Why? Are you worried about me?"
Lang Lang said straightforwardly, "Yes. Devil King, please forgive me for overstepping my boundaries. You may not like to hear these words. But this subordinate must say it. We naturally believe in your strength, but the strength of the Devil Emperor can't be underestimated. If this battle between you and the Demon Emperor... Of course... I believe you will win. But if something unexpected happens, what should the 200,000 soldiers do? Devil Realm cannot be without an owner."
Lee Yang looked at Lang Lang and asked," Are you sure you want to say these words in your heart? "
Lang Lang immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I dare to say these words. Please forgive me, Devil King."
Lee Yang shook his head and said, "I won't punish you. On the contrary, you dare to say these words to me. This means that you are indeed thinking for my sake. I am glad that I have a subordinate like you. But Lang Lang, you have to remember that there are some things that you can say. There are some things that you can't say. Your duty determines what you can do and what you should do. Next time, I don't want such a scene to happen again. I don't want my subordinates to use such a method to test me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lang Lang kowtowed. His forehead was firmly pressed against the ground, and the sweat on his head rolled out like a waterfall.
Lee Yang walked in front of him and looked down at him. "You are very capable. You are someone I admire. However, you need to learn from the chairman's brain. Don't let others easily influence your decision. Especially not let others influence your thinking and judgment. Do you think I don't know what sort of characters your subordinates have? I just don't want to say it. I want to see what you're going to do."
" Your subordinate will go back and execute them now. " Lang Lang said with a trembling voice.
Lee Yang smiled. "Kill them? Why kill them? A person could not be absolutely good, nor could he be absolutely bad. The key was how the person who used people considered it. Lang Lang, if you want to become a qualified commander, you still have a long way to go. I believe in you. If I look favorably upon you, I will give you authority in the future. So, you also need to show that you are worthy of my trust. Can you do it?"
Lang Lang looked up at Lee Yang and said," I will not fail your orders. "1
Lee Yang said, "This is the Lang Lang I saw before. Alright. You can leave. The battle between me and the Devil Emperor was unavoidable. It was also the best way to reduce the damage to the Devil Domain. The magic cannons and the seal that has been in the city for over ten thousand years are not something you can break. So I have to go. As the commander of the three armies, while I am away, you must go. You have to perform well."
"This subordinate will obey Miss Qing and Miss Liu Xin."
Lee Yang laughed. "You are becoming more and more cunning. Go."
Lang Lang retreated in fear.
Qing and Liu Xin walked forward and Qing asked puzzledly, "Why did you say that?"
Lee Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "When a person has power, his mind will be inflated, especially someone like Lang Lang. I have to teach him a lesson and let him know that whatever he has, I gave it to him.
If I can send him to his current position, I can also send the others to his current position.
He thinks that he is qualified to wrestle with me. Those few strategists are really interesting. Liu Xin, after I leave, you go and meet those strategists of Lang Lang. You should know what to do."
Liu Xin nodded indifferently.
