The next day, dawn.
Zhongzhou's Tianwei City was filled with the sound of gongs and drums. The Zhongzhou Marquis was waiting outside the city with a group of civil and military officials.
Many of these officials had never seen the Marquis of Zhenbei before, so they were all whispering about what he looked like.
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, a group of people appeared not far away. The person in the lead was riding a gray warhorse with a heroic spirit. This person was Lin Qing Yu. On his left and right were Uncle Wang, Li Feng, and Fang Rui.
"Is that the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
"Really? He looked too young. He was simply a young boy.”
"Are you crazy? How dare you call the Northguard Marquis a brat? However…he really looked too young.”
"Such a young man, is he really the Northguard Marquis who shocked the demonic barbarians?”
The Marquis of the Central Prefecture heard the discussions of the crowd. He said indifferently,""Maintain your manners!"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone immediately maintained a respectful welcome.
"I am honored to have you here, Marquis of Zhenbei. Welcome, welcome!”The Central Prefecture Marquis smiled as he walked over.
"Central Prefecture Marquis, long time no see. The last time we met was to discuss trade, right?”When Lin Qing Yu approached, he dismounted and walked towards the Central Prefecture Marquis with a smile.
"Northguard Marquis has a good memory! Are the people behind you the participants of this military exchange competition?”The Central Prefecture Marquis laughed.
"That's right, they are all soldiers of our Feather Army.”Lin Qing Yu smiled.
"The Northern Lord's Feather Army is known as one of the most elite troops. The ones behind you should be the elites of the Feather Army, right?”The Central Prefecture Marquis asked with a smile.
" No. They belong to the second echelon. The first echelon is on a mission in the demon race and doesn't have time to come.”Lin Qing Yu smiled.
"Oh? I wonder what mission the first echelon of the Feather Army is carrying out?”The Central Prefecture Marquis asked casually. He was calculating in his heart. In his opinion, Lin Qing Yu sending the second echelon of the Feather Army meant that the military exchange was just a pretense.
"A year ago, a demon grandmaster entered the northern border to spy on intelligence. After being discovered, he fled back to the demon region.”" He killed three ordinary citizens of the Northern Borderline while he was spying," Lin Qing Yu said casually." This violated the agreement between the Northern Borderline and the demons that 'the war will not affect the innocent people'.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis and the cabinet members behind him listened attentively.
"Later on, when I asked the demons about it, they ignored me.”" So, I issued a declaration of war to the demons," Lin Qing Yu said." Later, the demons personally killed that demon grandmaster. The next day, that grandmaster's head was placed in my manor.”
" This matter was supposed to end here, but after that demon died, his heir refused to accept it. He left the Demon Alliance and led a 100,000-strong demon army to occupy an area in the Demon Realm. He also formed an independent assassination team and often sneaked into the northern border to attack the people of the northern border.”
"That's why I asked the First Army, which is also the first echelon of the Feather Army, to flatten this demon army to prevent future trouble!" Lin Qing Yu smiled and said.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis was a little stunned." Northern Fortress Marquis, you're sending the top echelon of Feather County into the Demon Region to attack the Demon Army?" The demons are letting you in? Aren't you afraid that the demons will kill your Feather Army?”
"Hahahahaha!"
The Central Prefecture Marquis and the cabinet members behind him were confused.
"Li Feng, restrain yourself."
"It's Lord Marquis!" Li Feng replied.
At this moment, Lin Qing Yu looked at the Central Prefecture Marquis and smiled faintly,""Please don't take offense, Central Prefecture Marquis. General Li Feng is not mocking you, but the Monster Race.”
"Laughing at the demons?" The Central Prefecture Marquis was confused.
"Because we have already negotiated with the demons in advance. The demons have agreed to let us annihilate the demon army that has left the Demon Alliance.”"Under such circumstances, it's impossible for the demons to encircle and annihilate the Feather Army," Lin Qing Yu said indifferently.”
"Does the Northguard Marquis trust the yao army too much? They don't have any credibility!"
"Believe me?" "I never believed them." Lin Qing Yu laughed.”
"Then why? Are you confident that the demons won't attack your army?”
"Because…they don't dare!"
"I wouldn't dare!" The Central Prefecture Marquis's pupils constricted when he heard this.
Demon race! That was a ferocious demon! Humans were not allowed to enter the Demon Region, but the Northern Marquis's army actually went without fear!
At this moment, he realized that it was not the demons who were trying to reason with him. It was the Northguard Marquis who was trying to reason with them!
The demons had no choice but to reason with Northern Battlefront Marquis.
Because fists were the truth!
"I wonder how many people the first echelon of the Feather Army sent to the Demon Region to carry out missions?”the Central Prefecture Marquis asked casually.
"Five thousand!" Lin Qing Yu said indifferently.
"What?!" The Marquis of Zhongzhou was dumbfounded!
5,000 people to annihilate 100,000 yao? This sounded like a fantasy! How could he win? However, he observed the Northern Battlefront Marquis's expression. He did not seem to be worried about the Feather Army at all.
"He…wouldn't be spouting nonsense, would he?”The Central Prefecture Marquis didn't believe him at all.
Humans were at an innate disadvantage when compared to the demons. It was difficult for martial artists of the same realm to defeat the demons…5,000 feathery troops to annihilate 100,000 demon troops? This sounded unbelievable!
"The Central Prefecture Marquis doesn't seem to believe me.”Lin Qing Yu smiled and said," It seems that the Central Prefecture's Marquis knows too little about our Northern Borderline. How about this? After this military exchange, I'll invite you to the Northern Borderline as a guest. How about that?" After working together for so many years, it was time for them to get to know each other better.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said,"Since the Northguard Marquis has invited me, I will lead my men to visit the northern border after the military tournament.”
"There's no time like the present. After the military exchange competition, why don't you come with us to the northern border?”Even though Lin Qing Yu's tone was calm, the Central Prefecture's Marquis felt an inexplicable pressure.
In addition, he had some thoughts, so he did not dare to reject her even if he felt a little guilty.
"Alright!"
"That's great. Friends should interact more…"
Lin Qing Yu smiled.
At this moment, a white pigeon descended from the sky.
"Eh? A letter from the first echelon of the Feather Army."
Lin Qing Yu casually opened the secret letter and the Central Prefecture's Marquis caught a glimpse of the contents.
There was only one line.
"The 100,000 yao army has been wiped out. The 1st legion of the Feather Army is retreating to the northern border!”
This line of words shocked the Central Prefecture's Marquis!
A thought popped up in his mind. Could it be that what the Northguard Marquis said was true?
Did the 1st legion of the Feather Army really annihilate a 100,000 demon army with just 5,000 people?
The Central Prefecture Marquis's heart couldn't help but twitch violently!
If it was true, then the 1st legion of the Feather Army…was too monstrous!
