Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

The sudden ambush caused the imperial army to be in chaos, unable to organize an effective counterattack for a while.But fortunately, Brand and Yiguang were there, and they both shot together, instantly stabilizing the battle.

Brand's "evil haunt" wrapped his body, and his shots were quick and ruthless. There was a faint flash of wind and thunder between his fists and feet, and the troops of foreign nations fell in front of him like reaping wheat.

And Yiguang also took out his spear, flames entwined on the spear, and the "wolf sword step" under his feet was unpredictable.Po Feng, Cang Yue, Long Yin, Chuan Yun... With a set of spear techniques, he saw a fire dragon circling among the chaotic army.Everywhere they passed, the soldiers of different ethnic groups turned into ashes.

Two powerful "Teigu envoys" took action, and the ambush by the foreign nation was a complete failure. Only three people survived from the thousands-strong squad, including the leading officer, who were kept alive by the imperial army.As for the Imperial Army, apart from losing nearly 100 people in the initial assault, there was basically no loss.

"Huh, the marksmanship is good..." After retreating from the enemy, Brand thought of the marksmanship that Yiguang just showed, and nodded, "I am more and more curious, where is your teacher's inheritance."

"I learned part of it in the tribe, and then when I was traveling, I met an imperial veteran who taught me a little bit. Then, I hunted and killed dangerous species outside, and thought about it myself." Yi Guang casually said nonsense.

"I don't believe it, this is obviously a teacher's inheritance." Brand shook his head, "It's not that simple to create a kung fu... Forget it, you brat always speaks in a veiled manner, not happy at all. "

While chatting like this, Iguang and Brand walked towards the three captured prisoners.These three people are living mouths, and Brand is going to ask them who is the guy who leaked the secret this time?

"Go to hell, imperial dog!" And the officer of this alien race was really mighty and unyielding, full of foul language, and vowed not to tell the information he knew.

In response to this situation, Brand looked regretful and prepared to torture him.As a military attache, Brand is also proficient in various torture techniques, which is not just the patent of Esdes.In fact, any Imperial officer is an expert in torture, but Esdes is abusing it as a hobby.

"Brother, don't be rough, I'll do it." Yiguang frowned at the torture equipment brought by the imperial army, and then stopped the sergeants who were about to execute the execution, and said to Brand, "You don't need to use these things, I'm here. Make sure he doesn't have any wounds all over his body and tell the secret."

"Huh? You have this ability?" Brand was a little disbelieving.

"This is the hidden ability of my Teigu." Yi Guang said, a flame ignited on his fingers, "It can burn people's souls without hurting their bodies... I think this is better."

"Really so amazing?!" Brand exclaimed, "Please, please start your show."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, a scream resounded through the valley.

"Come on, who leaked the secret?!"

Chapter 89 The bane, the order, the decision

Facts have proved that it is impossible for human beings to make any decent resistance under the mental power of the ancient gods.The northern alien who had a heroic expression on his face before, was burned by Yiguang with a small flame for about three seconds, and he spoke out the information he knew neatly.

But unfortunately, this guy is just a mid-level officer like a thousand commander, and he is not qualified to know too high-level secrets.So everyone has no way of knowing who leaked the Imperial Army's action plan.

[Host, this is very bad.If you can't get any useful information, then among all the possible leakers, your suspicion is the biggest. 】

The system's words immediately made Yi Guang nervous.Because if you think about it carefully, the actual situation is like this: Yi Guang's origin is not very clear, he can be called dead without proof; plus he has only joined the army for more than a month, so he has no foundation in the army; However, the fighting skills that have become a system, coupled with the promotion from a small even to a thousand commander in just a few days... So many factors add up, almost all of them are not beneficial to him.

Most importantly, he was one of the few who knew the battle plan in advance.

"Then what should we do?" Yi Guang frowned, "We don't have any clues at the moment. Even if I can read minds, this guy can't tell one, two or three."

[Then there is only one way, you just use mental pollution to turn everyone here into your believers.Trust me, you have it. 】

"This..." Yi Guang was speechless for a while.

"I said little brother Lanza, I suddenly felt that you might as well give him a good time." Just as Yiguang and the system were secretly wrangling to find a way, Brand looked at the prisoner with a confused expression. Foaming at the mouth, he looked up at Yi Guang, "This guy looks like this, isn't he a waste?"

"Ah, this, it's alright." Yi Guang waved his hand, "Just rest for a while and take it easy."

Well, he will be back to normal, but at the same time, as an ancient god, the spiritual pollution will also fill his mind, and he will be absolutely loyal to Yiguang.This is the correct use of Yiguang's flame. Yiguang can indeed form a "Helios Religion" with him as the object of worship.After all, controlling people's hearts is the racial talent of the ancient gods.

It's just that, as a fairly humane guy, Iguang instinctively hates this kind of behavior.After all, this act of controlling people's hearts, in Yi Guang's opinion, is no different from the Lich King's behavior of turning the living into a natural disaster of the dead.If the opponent is not the kind of target that must be controlled, Yiguang doesn't really want to use this skill.

Furthermore, human beings who have accepted mental pollution will always have a tendency to be chaotic and distorted in their behavior, which can basically be equated with neurosis.Even if they believe in Yiguang, Yiguang is not sure if they can completely restrain these mentally ill believers.

Or... take the commander of this alien race as the first test to study the mind control of humans?

[Wow wow, host, have you finally decided to form a 'Sun God Cult'?Alas, I don't think it is necessary to establish a sect. Isn't there a 'hunter' team under Esders?Your future achievements may not be lower than her, so you will form a 'Sun Knights', choose a group of macho men, and then everyone wears a cloak and a mask, just like the group of 'The Ringwraith' in "The Lord of the Rings", walking in People on the road are afraid of seeing people... oh, I suddenly feel that this is very emotional! 】

"Damn, I'm completely following the template of the villain's big boss?" Yi Guang began to feel pain again, "I'm afraid it's a compliment when you meet people?"

[When did you have the illusion that you are not the villain BOSS?You are the lackey of the empire now, and you will be the general of the empire in the future. The combat power is that of Esdes and General Bude.You will definitely be a combination in the future, the empire is the strongest, the three major forces... The kind that comes with light and shadow special effects BGM, a proper late BOSS, one of the ultimate goals of the revolutionary army and 'night attack'. 】

"This is the sense of sight...Are you sure you're not talking about the three admirals of the Navy?" Yiguang burst into tears. "Also, are you sure that what we have to solve now is not the immediate crisis? I'm about to be regarded as a traitor."

However, Brand soon came over to dispel Yiguang's doubts.

"Brother Lanza, what are you thinking about here?" Brand patted Yiguang on the shoulder, "Did you not ask anything, are you in a hurry?"

"This, Big Brother Brand, where did you start?" Yi Guang was shocked, wouldn't he really think I was a meticulous work?

"As a person of unknown origin who has just joined the army, I suddenly encountered this kind of thing that may be a traitor." Brand sighed, "If you say that you are not afraid, don't I, Brand, look stupid? You This is normal psychology, after all, not many people know the battle plan, and you are the only one who has not gained the trust of the empire for the time being."

"So, eldest brother, do you think I'm a meticulous work?" Yi Guang asked.

"How is that possible? Of course I don't believe it. How could it be possible for a foreign nation to let such a powerful 'Eigu envoy' sneak into our army?" Brand laughed, "And you helped us defeat the enemy. Their strongest fortress. Aliens, how can they be so stupid?!"

"Thank you for your trust, big brother." Yi Guang nodded, "I..."

"Don't worry, General Liwa is not a fool who doesn't distinguish right from wrong. The general may not think of anything I can think of. I will report what happened here truthfully to the general, and the general will enforce the law impartially." Brand once again He patted Yiguang on the shoulder, signaling him to be at ease.

……

After this turmoil, Yi Guang and others squatted at this mountain pass for several days, completely defeating the main reinforcements sent here by foreign nationalities in the north.Due to the powerful combat power shown by the two "Teigu envoys", the foreign nation lost a total of 2 people and captured 1000 people in this battle. From the mouths of these prisoners of war, a lot of information about the dynamics of the foreign nation was obtained.The northern theater of the empire is very interested in this, and the imperial capital also spoke highly of it.At the same time, regarding the newly discovered "Teigu Envoy Lanza", the imperial capital also gave relevant approval.

"It was as I expected." In the general's tent, General Liwa looked at the document that had just been sent from the imperial capital, and shook his head helplessly, "The imperial capital is really planning to transfer Lansa to the guards. Legion, taking into account Lanza's achievements in the two wars, may consider exceptional promotion to a colonel-level officer... Of course, before that, you still need to take a period of time in our northern theater. According to the current Progress, you probably won't be able to go to the imperial capital until the spring of next year."

The Imperial Guard itself is composed of elites from various local armies. According to the imperial system, elite soldiers who have survived ten battles must be eligible to enter the Guard.Although Yiguang has made two great achievements, but if he insists, he is not qualified to be transferred to the Guards.There is no doubt that in this matter, the imperial capital still focused on Yiguang's identity and power as the "Emperor of the Emperor".

"Anyway, congratulations first, Chief Lanza." General Liwa looked at Yi Guang with a complicated expression, "Be loyal to the empire, I have already sent someone to investigate the previous leaker incident, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with you. Your loyalty to the Empire has been proven in two battles."

The Guards, as the elite troops of the empire, are also much higher than the same level officials of the local army in terms of their sergeant status.Although at present, General Liwa does not know what kind of reward and appointment the imperial capital will give Yiguang, but it will definitely not be too low.In addition, once Yiguang went to the imperial capital and became a general officer of the Guards, he would be in front of the emperor. According to the ancient Chinese saying, he could be regarded as a "protege of the emperor". First, make a good relationship with the other party. If there is anything in the future Things, in the imperial capital can be considered a personal connection.

Especially... that general seems to like this Lanza very much.Liva looked at the end of the document in his hand, the seal representing the highest military power in the entire empire, and the owner of this seal.

The head of the imperial military officials, the strongest imperial envoy, the royal clan, the general Bude.

That one, but he is famous for his discerning eyes... This kid, I am afraid that he has a bright future.Liwa nodded secretly, although he disdain to curry favor with those nobles in the imperial capital, but this kid is a soldier from my northern war zone, his own affairs... Can he be regarded as curry favor with the powerful?

"Then, that's it, you are still serving as a commander under Brand for the time being." General Liwa nodded and arranged, "Brand, take advantage of these few months to teach him well. After all, it is a soldier in our northern theater, and it is not too embarrassing to go to the imperial capital. Lanza, you have to make some achievements on the battlefield in the past few months, so... in the future, you will have a foothold in the imperial capital, and you will be stable. some."

After a few more chats, General Liwa invited Brand and Iguang out of the camp.As soon as he stepped out of the tent's gate, Brand patted Iguang's shoulder hard.

"You're about to become prosperous, brother! I've never seen a general take that attitude." Brand seemed happy, as if he was even happier than his own promotion, "Look, what did I say, The general is not confused. I said you are not a traitor, and the general also said that you are not a traitor, you say... In this army, who else dares to call you a traitor."

"Yes, the general is indeed a good person." Yi Guang nodded, "But I'm afraid that this matter...will implicate the general."

Thinking of the original plot, General Liwa was arrested for not bribing the new minister.In Yiguang's heart, he suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition.

"Is the future promising? If it is really promising... Then, I will remember each of you." After bidding farewell to Brand, Yi Guang said to himself, "Also, I don't want to be with the general, either. fight each other."

Chapter 90 The Road to the Imperial Capital

Yiguang was about to enter the Imperial Guard, which naturally caused a little discussion in the entire camp.After all, whether it is his superficial qualifications, or his powerful flame power, or the incident of a traitor that someone reported before... Each of them can be called the focus of discussion.

However, these are only discussed among the lower-level officers and soldiers. After all, whether it is the guarantee of General Liwa or the upcoming battle of breaking the city, it is destined that what happened to Yiguang cannot be overturned. Substantial storm.It can only be a trumped-up talk, a vent for those soldiers who are full of envy and hatred towards Yi Guang.

According to General Liwa's arrangement, for the next three months, Yiguang devoted himself to studying with Brand.Originally, Yiguang was only one of Brand's newly promoted thousand commanders, which was not unusual... After all, Brand had three thousand commanders, and Yiguang was only one of them, and his qualifications were shallow.But now, Yiguang has the posture of becoming Brand's right and left hand. Whether it is on the battlefield or in the military camp, Brand will always pull Yiguang by his side, which makes some of Brand's subordinates look at it. pleasing to the eye.

However, the jealousy of these people does not help.Yi Guang's performance in these three months left everyone speechless.The total number of beheaded enemies in the thousand-man regiment under him even surpassed the sum of the other two thousand-man regiments, and the number of single-person kills can be described as appalling.Therefore, his boss, Brand, was promoted to Yajiang, and his subordinates suddenly became 5000 people. Although Yi Guang himself was not promoted because he had to leave the northern theater sooner or later, Brand moved him from Qianfu He took up the position of chief and became his adjutant.

At the same time, every time General Liwa looked at him, Yiguang's eyes became more and more enthusiastic. Obviously, the imperial capital was quite satisfied with Yiguang's performance in the northern theater.

Empires are built by force, and they are keen to open borders.Unlike the civil service system, which is completely dominated by nobles, as a general, as long as you can fight, you can generally get a good promotion.Compared with the flattery and flattery within the civil service system, although the military commander group can't say how clean it is, it is definitely a lot more straightforward.

In this way, in about the second month, the Imperial Army successfully broke through the fortress of the foreign nations in the north.The military power of the empire drove in overnight, and the entire northern theater of operations poured out, and hundreds of thousands of troops penetrated deep into the hinterland of foreign nations in the north.This can be considered as exceeding the completion of the previous battle plan of the Northern Theater Command.Today, the imperial army's campaign to encircle and suppress the foreign nationalities in the north has no obstacles.

Under this circumstance, the transfer order to transfer Yiguang to the Guards was also sent from the imperial capital in advance.

"Now, the battle situation in the northern region has entered the final stage, which is much earlier than expected. The imperial capital has also sent your transfer order ahead of time." General Liwa sighed, "What should I say, I am here. A lot has been said in two months. Now go to the imperial capital, so you can do it yourself. The emperor is no better than our northern theater, the water inside is deep and muddy, especially recently, when the previous emperor died and the new emperor just ascended the throne, it was the time when the situation was unstable. Be careful with everything."

"Yes, General, I understand." Yi Guang nodded, and at the same time his heart moved slightly.

The new emperor ascended the throne?That is to say, Minister Ernest is about to take office.In other words, the current General Liwa is about to be imprisoned for being framed by the minister?

This... Yiguang suddenly felt some waves in his heart.In the past two months, the old general took good care of him.Although it may be said that there is an element of wooing and fawning, but judging from the concern that occasionally shows in his eyes, it is somewhat sincere.If possible, Yi Guang is not willing to watch the old general become a prisoner for that ridiculous reason.

However, the current Yiguang can't do much, he is just a rookie who has just been transferred to the Guards.He currently has no foundation, no support, and no power.And the task on him does not allow him to be willful.

He really wanted to say something to the general and Brand around him, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything.

What can he say?That incident did not happen, and there was no entanglement between the old general and the minister.Even if he made a warning now, nothing would change, because no one would understand his intentions.

"Okay, let's go, the convoy of the Guards is already waiting outside." General Liwa waved his hand, "If there is a chance, see you in the imperial capital."

"Yes, General, take care." Looking at General Liwa's face, and then at Brand, Yiguang gritted his teeth and walked out of the tent.

As long as that has not happened, there is still hope.It's a big deal, I don't want to be disciplined and bottom line, Helios?Sun Knight?I'll do it for you one by one!

Getting into the car of the Guards, Yiguang's eyes flashed a ray of light, which could be called a fierce light.

right way?Yes...not so-called "just", but "correct".

……

The imperial capital, which has prospered for thousands of years, is rumored to be the gathering place of all the wealth and power in the world, as well as the initial place of the empire's territory.Thousands of years ago, the first emperor of the empire began his journey from here, recasting the chaotic and unbearable order.The glory of the Millennium Empire begins here.

However, as history has repeated to us time and time again, kingship is not eternal.The ancient empire is still vulnerable in the face of time. Under the classical militarism system, noble families are hereditary, and the promotion at the bottom depends entirely on military merit. The civil administration system is firmly controlled by the noble group, just like the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Celestial Dynasty: " As a scholar, I don’t know the book. As a filial piety, my father lives elsewhere. The cold element is pure and white / turbid as mud, and the generals of Gao Diliang are as cowardly as chickens.”

Although the imperial family's strict control of the army's promotion channels, the military personnel training of the empire has not yet reached the level of "Gaudi's good generals are as cowardly as chickens", but in terms of politics, the interior of the civil service system is already rotten and rotten.

Minister Ornest, it is probably only the final evil that is produced under this system, right?

"According to the conclusion we have been wrangling in the QQ group before, the internal problems of the empire are actually the competition between the three factions. Minister Ornest represents the traditional aristocratic elders and local tyrants; the so-called 'conscience faction' , in fact, they are royalists in essence, they are considered to be an outlier among the nobles, with the goal of ensuring the continuation of the empire; while the revolutionary army is actually the so-called peasant uprising, as well as the oppressed small and medium aristocrats and businessmen. It's a battle of interests..."

Sitting in the car provided by the guards, Yiguang communicated with the system in the spiritual world. Because he was about to go to the imperial capital, he began to recall in his stomach the analysis of the situation in the empire by the group of housemates.

[That's why it is useless to just kill a minister, he is just an agent who was elected by the elders to suppress the imperial power and represent the interests of the big landlords and nobles.Kill him, there will be a second and a third replacement, and the situation will not change, because the entire court is occupied by this group of people. 】

"So, we need to find a way to support those loyalists." Yi Guang sighed, "Although those gangs are not necessarily good people, at least they know that they want to help the empire survive, which is consistent with our interests."

[But they don't have military power, and General Bude abides by the ancestral motto of 'soldiers can't do politics'.Although there is a tendency to support the conscience faction...or the royalist faction, it has not given substantive assistance. 】

"So, the key point is still the general." Yi Guang touched his chin, "If the general can clearly support the royalists, then the situation will be much better... I remember in the later period, he really couldn't bear the minister. , are you ready to end the game in person? In the end, before there was any actual action, he was killed by the 'night attack'. But that is to say, it is not impossible to persuade the generals to stand in line. What we need to find is just a Chance?"

[Yes, but there is one point, you can definitely be tried to mind control the general.Although I have said many times about mind control, only the generals, and Esdes, you must not try to control them.They are all top-level combat power in this world, and their mental resistance is not on the same level as others. 】

"Of course I know!" Yiguang rolled his eyes, "Let's not talk about the general, Esdes, that woman who drinks 'the essence of the devil' that can be called materialized spiritual pollution will be fine, this kind of spirit will be fine. Resistance... tsk tsk, I'm afraid it won't be a problem if you face the Blood Princess of the Moon directly, right?"

[This is probably over, but to withstand your mental pollution is still... eh? !I suddenly had a bold idea. 】The system is suddenly startled.

"What do you want to say?" Yi Guang frowned, "What if Esdes can withstand my mental pollution? Wouldn't you let me attack her? This is too much..."

[There's nothing wrong with this, right, think about it carefully, your current conditions, host, are completely in line with the five mate selection conditions she proposed.A startled little guy like Tazmi can eat her to the death. You, the host, have fought against ancient gods, fought wolf knights, and faced people who have faced mobile fortresses.The strategy isn't too difficult, is it?And people have it too...]

"The three views are different, so I can't communicate." Yi Guang said with a broken face, "Her three views belong to the kind that can't be broken back. As for the things she did, changing a male role, being beaten to death is light. .That is to say, the characters are good-looking, and they are sensitive to some people who are shaking the dead house, so they are very popular."
