Along the way, a group of newborn calves marched towards the Babylon Province! Because the Babylon Province doesn't have a teleportation portal, I can only rely on my warhorse to travel to Babylon! I lazily rode on my horse and glanced at the people behind me. Warriors were not bad, but mages were a little too much! After all, his physique was there! I couldn't help but shake my head. If I didn't rest for a few days in Babylon, I wouldn't be able to fight with the soldiers! It seemed that the City Defense Army's magic defense was going to fail!
When I saw Helen's tired expression on her horse, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Therefore, I carried her onto my horse and let her lean on me. Perhaps it would be more relaxed. I looked at Helen and said with heartache,"Stupid girl, why did you have to do this! There are so many mages, and you're not the only one!”
Helen leaned into my arms and said softly,""I don't want to leave you, not even for a second!”
I patted the silly girl's head and suddenly had mixed feelings. Perhaps I was really too emotional! Helen suddenly raised her head and said with a smile,""Hubby, can you sing me a song? Just a song for me?"
I couldn't refuse Helen, so I nodded and sang,"" The sky feels like it's going to rain. I want to live next door to you. I want to stand foolishly at the foot of your building and count the dark clouds as I sing this song for you. It doesn't have any style. It only represents that I want to give you happiness. I want to thaw the ice river for you. I want to be a moth to the fire for you. There's nothing that's not worth it! I sing this song for you. It doesn't have any style. It just represents that I hope you will be happy! Why can't I give up the world for you? There's a little warmth in the cool summer and autumn, and the colors of the seasons change."
When I finished singing, Helen actually hugged my neck and called me husband gently before crying like a pear blossom in the rain! I didn't know that my song had shocked Helen and the people around her! Why not give up the world for you! Heavens, what kind of love would make one feel so emotional! Fei 'er, who was standing beside me, wasn't unhappy. She only smiled at me knowingly!
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"”
Five days later, I finally arrived at the Babylon Province. The tall and sturdy city walls were like the large castles of medieval Europe! The soldiers on the city wall held their weapons coldly, and the cold light in their eyes seemed to want to tear the enemy in front of them apart! A blue flag with the Ximen family's emblem fluttering in the wind made my blood boil! The person who came out to welcome them was a middle-aged man with a capable face. He saluted and said to the two leaders,"Welcome to the aid of Babylon. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Lord Prometheus! I am the Governor of Babylon Province, Chris! I've specially come here on behalf of our General Ximen to welcome you! Everyone's camp is ready. Please go and rest first!”
Teacher Anzi, who was leading the team, smiled and bowed back."Thank you very much, Governor! As people of the Lolan Empire, we have the responsibility to sacrifice everything for our motherland! Please take us to see General Ximen!”Chris nodded and let his subordinates bring everyone to rest! At this moment, Teacher Powell said,"Ximen Yu, the few of you should go and see General Ximen together!"”I followed Chris to the City Lord's Mansion with an indifferent expression! As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he heard his father's furious voice. Eh, why would the old man fly into a rage! Which blind person dared to provoke my old man! One had to know that the old man did not recognize anyone in the army! A typical hot-blooded soldier! No matter who it was, they could only admit that they were unlucky!
Chris respectfully walked to the main hall and reported to the old man,""Reporting to the general, the people from the Royal Magic Martial Academy have arrived! I've already arranged for them to rest. These are the two leaders of the team, Mage Tutor Powell, Great Swordsman Anzi, and a few student leaders!”The old man stood up from his seat and exchanged a few pleasantries with the two mentors. Then, he came in front of me and looked at me a few times. Then, he laughed and said,"As expected of the Ximen family's man!”
I looked at the old man and smiled."Dad, I heard you throwing a tantrum the moment I entered the door. What happened?”
The old man gestured for us to sit down and said,""I sent out five teams of scouts today, but only one team came back with serious injuries!”
I was secretly shocked. My father had personally trained his scouts. Their strength was around that of a high-level swordsman. Even if they encountered a large group of enemies, they would still be able to break through! How could they be completely wiped out? There must be an expert on the other side! "Dad, there's something I don't understand." As far as I know, although our Lolan Empire and Caesar's relationship is not very good, it has not reached the point of war! Moreover, Caesar is good at cavalry. Why would Caesar attack Lolan on such a large scale this time? Even if they really defeated Lolan, what would Caesar have left?”
Father nodded in satisfaction when he heard my question and said,"Yu 'er, you're right, but if there was a great temptation, would you still think this way?”Seeing that I didn't say anything, my father continued,"Two months ago, we discovered a huge gold mine in Babylon! There were also several types of attached minerals! Do you know, after calculation, the annual output of this gold mine is more than one-third of the annual tax revenue of Lolan!”
"So, someone is jealous!" I continued the old man's words.
When everyone heard this news, they were shocked! Lolan's economy was the most developed country on the continent. The annual tax was close to 100 million gold coins! One-third of it was 30 million! 30 million was a conservative estimate for a year! Caesar was a country on horseback. 30 million was enough for them to raise two main battle legions! After all, Roland's annual military expenditure was only 30 to 40 million! How could such a big piece of meat not be tempting! If I were Caesar's emperor, I would also start this war. As long as we occupy Babylon, what do we care?
I suddenly made a request to my father that surprised everyone."Father, I want to lead the army!"
The old man looked at my serious face and hesitated."Yu 'er, war is not a joke! One had to know that a general's order could cause the army to die!”
Jack had been with me for the longest time. Didn't Boss hate trouble the most? Why did he want to be a general today?
I nodded solemnly." I understand. I will take responsibility for my actions. My request is not high. 3,000 people. One more and I will take one less! Moreover, this unit could not be considered a regular combat unit! I want absolute command and decision-making power! No one else is allowed to interfere, not even you, father! At the same time, the logistics of this unit had to be prioritized! However, you have to help me out first! After all, I don't have the money to equip them!”Everyone was speechless when they heard my words! What was this? A classic example of an army that listened to orders but did not listen to orders!
Father looked at my determined gaze and thought for a while before slamming the table and saying,"Alright, Yu 'er, I'll give you three thousand men from my personal guards!”
I shook my head.”
Seeing my reaction, the old man laughed and said,"Alright, I'll let you choose!" Just as I was feeling happy about having my own army, a scout ran into the city lord's mansion. General, Caesar's army is about to arrive at my Babylon City! His father trembled and said coldly,""Follow me to the city tower!" After saying that, everyone arrived at the city gate tower!
Around ten miles away, dust and flags were flying! It was clearly the action of a large army! "General, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of them. If we really attack the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on with just 100,000 soldiers!" Chris said solemnly.”His father nodded." Yes, His Majesty's reinforcements will arrive in at least three days!" No matter what, we have to last three days!”My calm and collected appearance caused Jack to ask,"Boss, that's hundreds of thousands! Aren't you afraid?" I rolled my eyes at Jack. It would not be so easy for Caesar to break into Babylon! If they were afraid of them, would they not attack the city?”
Father nodded in satisfaction when he saw my performance! I said to Jack,"Jack, let me tell you, don't be so petty!" Just wait for a miracle to happen if you follow Boss!”I turned to my father and said,"Dad, take down the front line and we'll have the city's defense!" Open all the gates of Babylon!”
"What are you doing?" His father asked in confusion!
I smiled.”
Hillmen? Who was the Hillman?
"Yu 'er, this is not child's play!" his father said worriedly.”
"Don't worry, dad. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory result!”His father gritted his teeth and finally withdrew the city defense! He even opened the city gates! Looking at the Cavalry of Caesar who was approaching, his father clenched the back of his hand so tightly that he wanted to…"Don't worry, all of you go to the tunnel!" Remember, don't come out! Otherwise, my plan will fail!" Everyone could only do as I said!
I grabbed Fei 'er and said,"You stay!"”Fei 'er nodded obediently and stood sideways behind me. However, her hand that was tightly gripping the hilt of her sword betrayed her nervousness. I rubbed Fei' er's slightly red face and said,"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" After saying that, he sat on the battlements and looked at the approaching cavalrymen arrogantly!
Marbury was one of the most skilled generals in Caesar's Empire. This time, he led 300,000 Caesars to attack Babylon. He was over 50 years old and was doing his best for the Empire! When he led his men and saw that the city gates of Babylon were wide open, and there was only a young boy sitting on the city walls, and a fairy-like woman standing behind him, he was instantly shocked! Why did this happen? Logically speaking, the city should be filled with city guards at this time! The city gates would also be closed! But today's situation made Marbury, who had spent half his life in the military, hesitate!
"General, look! The gates of Babylon are open! There's a child on top of it!" The deputy general said excitedly. It seemed that Roland had given up on Babylon! If we charge into the city now, who else can stop my ferocious Caesars?”The generals beside him also agreed! However, Marbury's eyes were still filled with doubt! Sitting on the battlements, I completely ignored them. I only continued to tease Xiao Bai on my shoulder, occasionally taking advantage of Fei 'er!
However, in Marbury's eyes, all of this had become a diversion! He told the generals,"Babylon is Roland's top priority! How could he give up so easily! Look at that kid on the city wall. He is so calm and doesn't put us in his eyes at all. Do you think a teenager would behave like this under the pressure of a large army? Although the opening of the city gate is advantageous for our cavalry, there are usually ambushes. In street battles, our cavalry won't have the slightest advantage! I will never believe that Xi Men Tian would give up on Babylon. He is a famous general of the continent and has always been cautious! This must be his trick! Lure us into the city and then annihilate us! We can't fall for this!"
The generals were also enlightened! "Messenger, order the troops to retreat twenty miles!”
Looking at Caesar's cavalrymen retreating in an orderly manner, the huge stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. To be honest, I was also afraid. I had originally gambled on everyone's psychology, but in the end, I won! Haha, you have to know that I have read the Three Kingdoms quite a bit and have learned some superficial knowledge! I stood up and looked at the enemy who had left and let out a breath of turbid air! Damn, his back was drenched! However, the feeling of acting cool was really good! When Father saw Marbury retreat, he immediately ordered his men to close the city gates. Then, he patted my shoulder and laughed loudly."Yu 'er, you've really surprised me! How did you do it?!"
I smiled and didn't say anything. This plan was a solution that had no other choice! If there was any other way, I wouldn't have done it! I'm not Zhuge Liang! "Dad, we're safe today!" I'm going back to rest! I'm exhausted from the journey!"
Father was probably too excited and didn't pay any attention to me. I laughed dryly as I pulled Fei 'er down the city gate tower. When the soldiers saw me, they immediately clenched their right fists and slammed them heavily on their chests, shouting,"Young General Ximen! Young General Ximen! Young General Ximen!" The high-pitched shout could be heard from more than ten miles away. I smiled and nodded. Suddenly, I felt that my image had become taller. So this was what it felt like to be a hero.
