384: Chapter 383: Dragon Hawk Legion 384: Chapter 383: Dragon Hawk Legion Lin Bai asked.
“It should be in Nanning Pass.
Because Nanning Pass was broken half a month ago, it was because of those twenty-five City-Destroying Cannons.”, said the First Princess.
“Alright, bring the map.”
Lin Bai said.
The First Princess lightly hummed, taking out a map of the Shenwu Kingdom and the surrounding several countries from her storage bag.
Lin Bai looked at the map, predominantly observing the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom, Nanning Pass, Jia Yueguan, and the Imperial Capital of Shenwu Kingdom.
“Is the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom shockingly close to Nanning Pass?
We could reach the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom in just three days?”, Lin Bai exclaimed.
“Yes, precisely because the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom is close to Shenwu Kingdom, it frequently harasses the southern region of Shenwu Kingdom.”, the First Princess calmly explained.
“I see.”
Lin Bai carefully examined it.
“The City-Destroying Cannon is now in Nanning Pass.
If we want to transport it to Jia Yueguan, we will have to take the main road.
The small roads cannot accommodate the large cannon.”, Lin Bai mumbled.
“If we go to Nanning Pass from Jia Yueguan, taking the small roads, it will take us ten days even if we march at full speed.”
“The time is too long.”
Lin Bai shook his head.
The First Princess said, “No need, to get from Jia Yueguan to Nanning Pass doesn’t take ten days.
The royal family has a legion named ‘Dragon Hawk Legion’.
It’s one of the ace legions under the control of the royal family.”
“Each soldier of the Dragon Hawk Legion has a spirit beast, that is, a Dragon Hawk with the strength of the First Level of Earth Martial Realm.”
“The Dragon Hawks are very fast, they can easily travel hundreds of thousands of miles in a day.”
“So if we go from Jia Yueguan to Nanning Pass, riding the Dragon Hawks, it only takes about a day.”
Hearing the First Princess’s words, Lin Bai was astonished, “Does your royal family have such an ace legion?”
The First Princess smiled, “The royal family controls the nine major legions in the Shenwu Kingdom.
The strongest are the Imperial Guard, Dragon Pattern Army, Dragon Hawk Legion, Chu Family’s Army, and the Mountain-Breaking Beast Legion.”
“The Imperial Guard is the protector of the Imperial Palace and cannot leave the palace.”
“The Dragon Pattern Army only obeys my father’s command.”
“I brought some of the Dragon Hawk Legion after my campaign.
About thirty thousand.”
“As for the Mountain-Breaking Beast Legion, most of the soldiers in Jia Yueguan now belong to this legion.”
“Chu Family’s Army is the legion led by Chu Jiangliu.”
Lin Bai slowly nodded.
“Why did you only bring so few from the Dragon Hawk Legion?” Lin Bai curiously asked.
“Dragon Hawks are originally proud and arrogant spirit beasts, the hegemony of the sky.
Taming them is not easy.
There are just over a hundred thousand Dragon Hawk Legion troops in Shenwu Kingdom.
Bringing thirty thousand was already quite good.”
The First Princess said faintly.
“Oh, I see.”, Lin Bai nodded.
“Since you’re telling me about the Dragon Hawk Legion now, it means you must have a plan.”
Lin Bai looked at the First Princess and asked.
The First Princess probably wouldn’t talk to Lin Bai about the Dragon Hawk Legion at this time for no reason.
Since the First Princess mentioned it, Lin Bai guessed that she must have a plan.
The First Princess looked at Lin Bai with beautiful eyes, slowly approaching him, she softly said, “Lin Bai, I know you’ve helped the Shenwu Kingdom a lot, but the City-Destroying Cannon must not reach Jia Yueguan, otherwise, Jia Yueguan will surely fall.”
“So…..”
“So…..”
As she spoke to this point, the First Princess found it almost unbearably difficult to continue.
Lin Bai smiled, “So, you hope I join the Dragon Hawk Legion and destroy these City-Destroying Cannons?”
The First Princess, her face filled with painful emotion, looked at Lin Bai, “If there was a better solution, I swear I would not send you into such danger.”
“But now I truly have no other choice.
Once the City-Destroying Cannons arrive, the Jia Yueguan can’t possibly hold out!”
As the trump weapon of Dayue Kingdom, the City-Destroying Cannons were heavily guarded by their army.
The objective to destroy more than twenty such canons was no easy task.
This was undoubtedly like plucking a tooth from the tiger’s mouth.
Lin Bai looked at the desperate expression on the First Princess’s face.
Lin Bai knew, if her situation were a bit better, she would absolutely never allow him to attempt to destroy the City-Destroying Cannons.
Even thinking about the dangers involved was enough to make one’s heart quiver with fear.
Lin Bai stepped forward, stroked the First Princess’s hair and said, “I told you, I won’t disappoint you.
Not now, not ever.
Rest assured, I will try my best to destroy those City-Destroying Cannons.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
The First Princess stepped forward and, carried by momentum, collapsed into Lin Bai’s arms.
In response, she suddenly lifted her head, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her red lips to Lin Bai’s.
Um—
Stunned, Lin Bai’s eyes widened.
At that moment, a hot, soft, smooth tongue teased open Lin Bai’s lips…
Lin Bai instinctively responded, he encircled her petite waist and pressed her body tightly against his own.
The fervent kiss was as blazing as a rose blooming on a battlefield.
“Don’t stop me!”
“Commander, Commander, I request to lead the Dragon Hawk Legion to Nanning Pass to destroy the City-Destroying Cannons.”
Just then, the voice of a young man echoed from outside the door.
Lost in their mutual attraction, Lin Bai and the First Princess snapped back to reality.
Both of them halted their actions instantly.
They both shrank back as if they had been caught stealing a glance at each other.
The First Princess adjusted her dress and said, “Chu JiangLiu, come in.”
Lin Bai silently walked to the window, took a sip from his cup, and expressionlessly watched the changing landscape outside the window.
Chu JiangLiu, burly and tall, walked in and said, “Commander, I want to go to Nanning Pass to destroy the City-Destroying Cannons… oh, Prince Consort is here too?”
Seeing Lin Bai standing by the window, Chu JiangLiu felt the sharp, penetrating glare from Lin Bai, as if he were the target of a knife and sword.
And a quick glance showed him that the First Princess’s face was still a touch flushed.
As the crown prince of the Imperial Capital, the former prince of Chu Royal Mansion, and a frequenter of the Fengyue Places, Chu JiangLiu soon realized what had been happening in the room.
Chu JiangLiu said awkwardly,”Your Highness, maybe… I should come back later?
You two carry on?”
Lin Bai took a deep breath to calm his mind and said to Chu JiangLiu, “No need, you want to go to Nanning Pass to destroy City-Destroying Cannons, right?
Excellent, I’ll accompany you.”
A surprised Chu JiangLiu exclaimed, “That’s fantastic!
With Prince Consort’s assistance, this mission is sure to succeed.”
The First Princess said, “Well then, you two should go.
We have already planned this operation for a long time.
Chu JiangLiu, fill Prince Consort in with the details on the road.”
Chu JiangLiu respectfully replied, “Please rest assured, Commander, I swear I will complete the mission!”
The First Princess nodded at Chu JiangLiu.
The First Princess then looked at Lin Bai and softly said, “Be careful.”
“Uh-huh.”
Lin Bai and Chu JiangLiu exited the villa together.
