Chapter 143 "Iron Army" and "Fire Phoenix Legion"

"Xiao Yun, you brought us too many surprises and surprises in this southern war. You tossed a lot in the belly of the Asmans, exhausted tens of thousands of people, and successfully You escaped back. After the battle of Sidon City, you went straight to the enemy’s high command, severely injured Brook, and caused hundreds of thousands of Asman’s troops to retreat in a panic. I have to say, your performance is impressive!” George lay on the bed , looked at Liu Yun who was sitting not far away with Shi Yan, and smiled kindly.The day after Liu Yun returned to the imperial capital, he was summoned into the palace by him.

"Your Majesty, you are too proud. In fact, in the territory of Asman, what my subordinates and I want to do most every day is to go back to the country. But the Asman people are too enthusiastic and insist on keeping us, forcing us to stay in their territory. Jumping up and down. It is said that it is thousands of miles away, but in fact it is just a journey to the end of the world!"

Liu Yun briefly told the emperor about his experience in Saipu Town and Asman territory, and the emperor was deeply moved.

"When the country is in trouble, you can see the character of a man! These heroes who died in battle, the empire will never forget them. After the war subsides, I will give them the honor they deserve, and I will not let them sacrifice silently .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yun was overjoyed when he heard the words, because he had some plans in his mind, and he planned to implement them after the war. With the emperor's statement, everything would be easier.

"The Asmans are still hiding such a wolf army! If you hadn't met us, we might not have known that Asmans still have such a force. Fortunately, they were finally defeated by you " George sighed softly.

"This force is actually quite powerful. I was able to beat them by luck, but it was a clever use of the terrain and their underestimation of the enemy. If we meet on the frontal battlefield, the outcome is really unpredictable. Every soldier of them, They are all like a mobile killing tool." Liu Yun said solemnly.

"The Sith Kingdom is terribly quiet, and there are also abnormal situations in the country. I don't think it will remain silent forever. The mainland will not calm down in a short time. Xiaoyun, you are now famous, and all the power in your hands has been exposed to the eyes of the enemy. The focus of all countries' attention, we must be very careful in our actions in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Xiaoyun will be careful. In Asman, I was almost defeated by a woman. There are really many powerful people hidden in the dark on this continent. I dare not underestimate the enemy." Emperor George Elder The same concern made Liu Yun's heart warm.

"However, Earl Liuyun, you have merits, but you have also made mistakes. I will ask you a few things now, and you must answer me truthfully!" Emperor George's tone suddenly became serious, and even his title changed.

"Why did the emperor change his face when he said that he changed his face?" Liu Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly responded: "Please, Your Majesty, I will definitely report the truth."

"In the battle of Saipu Town, you gave up the responsibility of defending the land and led your troops to break through. What did you do for it?"

"The strategic significance of Saipu Town has been lost, and it is a waste of sacrifice to stick to it. I am for the survival of most of the officers and soldiers of the third regiment. As long as it does not harm the battle situation, as a commander, I must do my best to ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers. A useless town is not my choice. I am willing to bear the crime of retreating without authorization, and it is my principle to retreat or not."

"Okay. Let me ask you again. In the battle of Sidon City, you did not consult the commander on the southern front, acted alone, and encouraged a division commander to disobey orders on the battlefield. At the same time, you borrowed troops from Fort Roland privately. What is the purpose? Have you ever considered it? , the consequences of failure?"

"It's only because the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Sidon are desperately waiting for the rescue of the imperial soldiers. If the first battle is lost, it's just a death. But at least, the invaders have to step over my body before they can hurt the people behind me. Do you want to be greedy?" Merit is also my principle, and I won't be so stupid as to bet my life on that little battle merit."

"Haha, you have a sense, but your answer makes me very satisfied. I also want to thank you for saving the face of the empire. You don't get greedy for merit, you don't retreat, and you have the demeanor of a famous general. Then I will help you! I You are ordered to form the "Fire Cloud Iron Army" independent army, and appoint you as the army commander. You can decide on the establishment, strength, appointment of officers, etc. and report it to the Military Affairs Department!" After listening to Liu Yun's answer, George laughed happily.

"Father, I have already told you about Brother Liuyun, why do you still ask these questions? He is sweating from anxiety!" Seeing Liuyun's nervous expression, Shi Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Shiyan, I just want to see if Xiaoyun has the courage to tell the truth in front of me! Your Uncle Yantian and I are both old. After Huoyun has experienced the baptism of this war, everything depends on you young people I have to guarantee that there is someone who dares to beat you by your side!"

"Is this the bastard spirit in the legend?" Liu Yun stretched out his hand to wipe off his sweat, and thought to himself, "It's a good hand to help both kindness and power, this slap is not heavy, but the candy is quite big, and it has been promoted to three levels in a row! ! Old man, you are bullying me, I will find it on your son sooner or later!"

"Xiao Yun, you have to remember that since your power has been exposed, you must do two things. One is to make yourself stronger, and the other is to re-cultivate a dark force. I have discussed with your father, the Empire In the future, you can no longer rely on a few people, but rely on a large number of excellent officers to support your army. Therefore, after your footsteps are firmly established, I will continue to select young officers from the Independent Legion to enrich other troops. How hard you have to work!" George continued to exhort.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Yun nodded in response.

"Currently, in the north of the empire, Marshal Yantian and your eldest brother Mu Feng have built two lines of defense. You must complete the task of forming the independent army as soon as possible, and you may use your power at any time."

"Your Majesty, I have too few people under my command, and it may be difficult to replenish troops in a hurry. If only recruiting recruits, it will not only be useless, but will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"Set up the frame first, replenish the troops after the war, and start training! The 3 crossbow cavalry in your hands are enough for [-] people. By the way, can that kind of crossbow be mass-produced to equip troops?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. The main problem is the casting. I will order people to try their best to make some, and I hope there will be time." Liu Yun shook his head.

"I'll send you as many people as you need," George said.

"Then please Your Majesty send me a few hundred more dwarven foundries. These crossbows are all made by them, and humans cannot make them."

"...What is your origin, I really doubt it. The elves and dwarves have appeared, will you bring out a dragon again?" George looked at Liu Yun with strange eyes.

"I think he might have this ability." Shi Yan also smiled wryly, "National treasure, national treasure!"

Liu Yun glanced at Shi Yan with resentment, and then the old god said: "Maybe there will be dragons."

"Father, why don't you ask Big Brother Liuyun for his opinion on the marriage?" After Liuyun left, Shiyan asked in confusion.

"Shiyan, do you think the gift of marriage is really a good thing for Xiaoyun? You are wrong. This is just someone trying to destroy his relationship with Hua Feilei and make him lose a powerful arm. This incident shows that, There is already a force in the court that has noticed him. I did this only to protect him, and he has to bear this sacrifice."

"Then how can I help him?" Shi Yan asked hastily when he heard that someone was going to deal with Liu Yun.

"For so many years, is there little power in the government to secretly fight against your Uncle Yantian? But his official status is getting bigger and bigger? I never support him publicly, but I always believe in him in my heart, and that's enough. You You don’t need to help him, you just need to grasp the balance. Political struggle can make a person truly grow, and only when there are constraints can people be vigilant and not arrogant. This is a good thing for you and him. When you are old in making peace, keep your mind clear, and just do a little trick occasionally. They don't want to spend Feilei to support him financially, so you won't help him secretly? The Roman family has a lot of money, but the royal family has a lot of money Where are you going, right? Haha." George smiled, with a wise light in his eyes.

This simple conversation in the palace actually completed the handover of power between the old and new generations.From this day on, Liuyun officially entered the power center of the empire, and the "Fire Cloud Iron Army" also established a special position in the army, and the empire entered a period of metabolism.

Princess Naya leaned on the bench in the garden, looking a bit out of spirits.The continuous battles seemed to have exhausted her mental strength, and what victory brought was not joy, but endless bitterness.And this bitterness was brought to her by her former fiancé.She still remembers how she pitied and sympathized with Liuyun when he retired that day, but she never expected that he would rise up quickly on the stage of war as if he had changed into a different person.Nalan's light is just a new star, but his light is like the sun in the sky.

Although after the divorce, everything about him has nothing to do with her, but the previous relationship always made it hard for her to let go.

"Sister, do you have something on your mind?" Shi Yan came to Naya's side and asked worriedly when he saw that his always strong and independent sister looked fragile.

"Brother, I was just thinking, why, I misread him again and again? Why, I did so many things wrong? The same war, in his hands, is almost perfect, but in my hands, the people I paid a terrible price." Naya raised her head and asked softly.

"Sister, you don't have to blame yourself. Liuyun and us are two different kinds of people. He is a very pure soldier. He only has the country and the people in his heart, while we are more concerned about the interests of the royal family and nobles." Shi Yan sat down When he reached Naya's side, he gently put his arm around Naya's shoulder and said softly.

"Yes, for Sidon City, he dared to face hundreds of thousands of enemies with 1 people. But for a victory, I lost the lives of tens of thousands of people." Naya sighed.

"Sister, we were born in the royal family and have an innate sense of superiority, but this does not mean that we can look down on all sentient beings. If we hadn't traveled abroad, experienced a hunt and escape, and even almost died, we were finally killed by Liu Yun. and his Black Eagle Guard, I will not understand him. Father has authorized him to form the "Fire Cloud Iron Army" independent army. After this incident, you can get to know him better if you get in touch with him. Believe The misunderstanding between you will slowly disappear."

"Black Eagle?" Naya murmured. "Brother, what does this Black Hawk have to do with the Black Hawk Mercenary Group?"

"I should have told you earlier." Shi Yan said with a wry smile, "but you have always disliked him, so I wanted to tell you later, and it has been delayed until now. Black Eagle is the Black Eagle mercenary that appeared in Hancheng regiment, and Liuyun is the war eagle."

Naya stared blankly at Shiyan, unable to speak for a while. "He is Zhan Ying, the one who saved me, is he?"

"Are you okay. My brother should have told you about this earlier, and there will be no more misunderstandings between you and him later!"

"You're all lying to me! He saved me, but I'm hurting him. Naya has become a femme fatale like that!" Naya smiled miserably, "No wonder he came back alive, no wonder they can come back again and again!" Create a miracle! Well now, he has become a hero, in the eyes of him and Black Eagle, I am just a joke. But that bastard has been looking at me as a joke!"

Naya, whose eyes were clouded with tears, finally understood A Lei's words, understood Hua Feilei's hostility towards her, understood the refusal of the officers and soldiers of the third regiment to her recruitment, and understood why Liu Yun had always been so indifferent to her.

In the memory, the words when Zhanying left after the Cold City War echoed again, and deeply hurt Naya's heart.

"No need, princess. You and I met in the Tao, but you have your way, and I have my direction. We will eventually forget each other in the years."

"Liuyun, are you taking revenge on Naya for announcing the divorce?" Naya was at a loss.

"Sister, why don't you help him form an independent army and take this opportunity to communicate more?" Shi Yan noticed the abnormal expression on Naya's face and hurriedly persuaded her.

"No, I don't want it!" Naya cried and said decisively.

On November 753, 11 in the Imperial Calendar, Princess Naya resigned from her position as the commander of the southern battlefield, and was ordered to form the "Fire Phoenix" independent legion, which happened to be located adjacent to the "Iron Army" garrison.

On the second day, Naya left the imperial capital and rushed to Corinth, a city by the sea in Yanyun Province.
