C165 To Feed on Battle

Reiss Empire, 1017, 1st of March. This day was destined to be a memorable day.

On this day, Reiss Empire suddenly changed their usual peaceful attitude and sent 200 thousand more troops to the border of the empire and Moose Empire.

What was worth mentioning was that these troops seemed to be newly recruited recruits. This kind of nonsensical and risky move made the people of many countries on the continent unable to make heads or tails of it. They even asked around about the person who gave such a ridiculous order.

Soon, they found out that the Reiss Empire seemed to have just changed the commander in charge of handling everything here.

This couldn't help but make everyone laugh. Could it be that the Reiss Empire had really reached the end of the empire? They actually sent a Lower Race that wasn't even twenty years old to be in charge of such an intense conflict that made both sides extremely nervous? In the end, there was no one in the Reiss Empire? Or was it to show that he was looking down on the neighboring countries? At this moment, there were many different opinions, and various versions were born.

But no matter what, the unexpected action of Reiss Empire still made many people disapprove of it. Of course, everyone was eagerly waiting for the Lower Race, which had just advanced to Earl, to take action.

However, their attitudes towards this matter immediately took a 180-degree turn. Especially in Moose Empire. It was precisely because of these things that they were certain that Count was a man from the Hawk Faction, a man who was the pillar of the Reiss Empire's younger generation.

On the first day, when everyone thought that Lee Xiang would stay put, he unexpectedly carried out a miraculous and beautiful extermination war against an army on the eastern front of Moose Empire. It was almost a miracle in the history of the military.

This was the first accident. Because he did not expect this newly appointed commander to not even greet him, not even caring about the most basic diplomatic etiquette, and to shoot a cold arrow at the very beginning. He did not even understand the least bit of courtesy before sending troops.

The direct consequence of this incident was that Moose Empire urgently sent more troops to the east. Moreover, they sent out envoys to question him. Under normal circumstances, if both sides were in the middle of negotiations, they should try their best to avoid this kind of provocation. Otherwise, the other side would have enough reason to accuse you of betraying the peace talks.

However, unfortunately, the envoy of Moose Empire was forcefully rejected by Lee Xiang. He didn't even have time to catch his breath before he was sent back.

The second accident: Everyone, including the empire, would guess that Lee Xiang might cause some trouble at the border. To increase his ability to negotiate, but they only thought that Lee Xiang would only do so halfway through the negotiations. They had never thought that he would suddenly do such a thing on the first day. Most importantly, they all thought that Lee Xiang had just enlisted. The new recruits who had not even had time to train were just bluffing when they were sent to the border. However, this extermination war was carried out by a portion of the 200,000 new recruits. And not the Empire's garrison and the official private army of the province? Such an action once again caused a huge sensation and uneasiness in the empire and even the continent.

According to the memories of the people who escaped from Moose Empire by chance, this war was actually nothing special for this group of newbies. In fact, they even seemed very unfamiliar with it. Moreover, they had also suffered heavy casualties. However, there were a few key points. First of all, they were not afraid of death. Moreover, they were equipped with new weapons that were not equipped by any country in the entire continent. Moreover, these weapons seemed to be smeared with some kind of special medicine. As long as it was a person's skin that was injured, those who were injured would definitely be unable to move their entire bodies. Most importantly, Within their troops, there were at least eight level 8 powerhouses at the very least.

Of course, some observant people also noticed a very strange place. Although this batch of recruits had no order at all, their leaders were surprisingly experienced. It was very obvious that this was a classic example of taking the old to bring the new, and fighting to support the new.

After going through such a battle, Lee Xiang had broken the rule of war in the continent for thousands of years. It was written into the military curriculum by the militarists of the continent, not because of its great victory. In fact, their losses were also very painful, but the significance of it was very important. To put it bluntly, Lee Xiang's unconventional rewriting of the entire continent's military history was a milestone in the eyes of the later generations.

The third accident: Everyone, including the empire, thought that Lee Xiang would stop after this adventure was successful. Because such a battle had won him precious bargaining chips on the negotiation table. Unfortunately, Lee Xiang still did not show any signs of stopping. He even sent his troops to disturb the armies of the neighboring countries, even though it was only a small victory every day. But slowly accumulating a small victory as a strategic victory also made the neighboring countries suffer.

The most surprising thing about the whole matter was that in all the small-scale conflicts, the garrison of the empire had never showed any signs of being mobilized. The one who took the lead was the private army that Lee Xiang had just recruited.

This made people very confused.

Because of this matter, whether it was the interior of the capital or the neighboring countries, they spent every day trying to figure out what the next step of this young man would be.

Everyone was waiting eagerly.

The Moose Empire had also been constantly provoking Lee Xiang recently, and had maintained a great restraint. Although they had also firmly counterattacked against Lee Xiang's troops, there had never been a single cross-border attack. Of course, Lee Xiang also suddenly put away his eager attitude, as if there was a tacit understanding between the two of them. He actually stopped as soon as he saw something good. He tried his best not to lose his composure. In order to avoid forcing the two sides into a dead end. Because he knew very well in his heart, no matter how they fought, No matter how serious the fight was, how many people died or died. . . In the end, they still had to go on the old path of peace talks. Because these two countries could not withstand a full-scale war, the only ones who would benefit from it would be the other countries who were gloating.

It was like playing chess. No matter how you put the pieces on the board, you could only place them on the board. You could not play as you wished. Otherwise, you would break the rules of the game.

"It's less than six days until the agreement between you and Imperial. Why haven't I seen you in a hurry?" Shaun looked at Lee Xiang, who was enjoying the wine casually, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Lee Xiang sighed and put down the wine glass in his hand. "His Highness is a little impatient. If I am not wrong, our good days will come to an end. Next will be a tough process of paying back money without asking for a price. Sigh. . . To be honest, I really miss these few days! "

Shaun smiled lightheartedly. He also missed them very much. Because he had never been so carefree before.

"However, I've always felt strange. Why did you leave the regular army aside and let the new army fight the first battle? And why did you let them take turns every time? This way, it would be too much for them to charge and break through the enemy lines, and even if you keep replenishing your strength. Recruiting new soldiers non-stop. . . But this is not a long-term solution. "

" Training soldiers! I'm doing this mainly to train soldiers! " Lee Xiang did not hide anything. He believed that with Shaun's intelligence, he had already seen this point. So if he continued to hide it, it would affect the cooperation between them. "Your Highness, you should know the current situation in Bael City. It is common knowledge that the empire wants to reclaim its autonomy. The garrisons in the province and the garrisons in the nearby provinces are the most typical example, which makes me very uneasy. That is why I have no choice but to do something to protect myself. Although this method of training soldiers is a bit cruel, we have to admit that. . . This is the best and fastest method. There is no way more realistic than this kind of actual combat. "

Shaun was silent for a while. Of course, he had guessed Lee Xiang's intention a long time ago, but this made him more worried. Although he was very satisfied with Lee Xiang's honesty.

After a long time, Shaun stared at Lee Xiang without blinking. "You seem to have forgotten that I am the Third Prince of the empire. Don't you worry about what I am thinking when you say these things in front of me?"

"Of course I am worried!" Lee Xiang sighed slightly. He knew that sooner or later he would have a showdown with Shaun because of this matter in Silo Province. Of course, the prerequisite was that Shaun could successfully become the king. This was very normal. He knew very well that there was no room for others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed. No king could tolerate someone building a country in his country. Therefore, if he said it earlier, he would try his best to avoid the estrangement in everyone's hearts. In fact, He had never thought of using it to threaten anyone. "But I can't do anything about it, because I'm completely protecting myself. No one is willing to suddenly take away what is in their hands, and I am even more unwilling to do so. As for your thoughts, Your Highness. . . Of course I care, otherwise I could have found a very dignified excuse to cover you up. But I don't, because I believe you have more important things to do now. The success of this matter has a lot to do with whether or not I can keep it. . . " Lee Xiang naturally linked his interests to his. At the same time, he told him that everything he did was for his own benefit. It was also for Shaun's sake. "As for the rest of the matters, I think that once you achieve your goal. . . We should have a good solution, as long as you promise us your position here. Then everything else is not a problem!"

"But have you ever thought about your actions? The Empire is actually able to tell that perhaps it is because of this action of yours. . . What if it intensified their thoughts? " Shaun sighed to himself. Lee Xiang's words were like an implicit vow to him, as long as he was worthy of him. He, Lee Xiang, would support him without hesitation. This was mutual. But how could things be so simple? Once Lee Xiang succeeded. . . In the future, this Silo Province would become his impregnable stronghold. After all, he had the advantage of the Lower Race. He could clearly see this, because at least until now. . . Lee Xiang's reputation had reached a peak here, especially when it came to his strong attitude towards the neighboring countries. He had won the support of the Lower Race, and this support would last for the next few decades. He was afraid that it would be even more intense. The most frightening thing was that Lee Xiang was also very good at making use of these public opinions. Therefore, he was almost certain that it would not take long. If Lee Xiang was here, he would be praised by these people. This could be seen from the fact that the rebellious Lower Race had suddenly turned into a proactive surrender.

However, he had no choice. To put it bluntly, if he wanted to become the ruler of the empire, the support here was essential. Thus, even if he could see this point, He could only watch. However, he still felt that it was necessary to remind him.

"Therefore. . . I feel the need to display my muscles at the crucial moment! Although this kind of muscles is not worth mentioning compared to the Empire, there is still a bit of strength. "Lee Xiang smiled faintly. "This is not targeting anyone. It is a completely self-preservation action. To put it simply, This is a type of knee jump reaction that can't be any more normal on the body. Think about it, Your Highness, when your fist hit my knee, So Your Highness, you can abandon all your worries, because you and I are on the same side. We are obligated to work together, whether it is now or not. Or in the future. "

Shaun shook his head with a bitter smile. He recalled Lee Xiang's aggressive attitude recently. He suddenly thought about the right thing to cooperate with Lee Xiang in the past. But he thought that even if he was not his partner in the past, he would still be able to reach where he was today. However, time would be slightly slower. Thinking about it, he felt that he was rather lucky.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Lee Xiang smiled. "I just got the news that the large reservoir near Yalu River has been completed, and the third tributary of the artificial excavation has almost reached the border of the empire. Once we cross the border, things will not be under our control. Your Highness, do you want to go and take a look? "

Shaun suddenly became alert. This was definitely good news. He believed that Moose Empire would also receive some news. Because Lee Xiang's actions weren't very obvious, but to the Moose Empire, water was more important than anything else. Therefore, they would definitely pay attention to the development of the situation. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be news soon.
