Chapter 204.2
Meanwhile, the Great Luo Emperor dreamed of wealth in the Great Luo imperial palace.
This expedition has yielded xx catties of grain! Not only can it make up for the domestic shortfall, but theres even a surplus! Haha With this amount of grain, next year will be worry-free!
Moreover, this battle went too smoothly, too beautifully! A million troops set out, and 950,000 returned, sacrificing less than 50,000! Marshal Li and the others have made great contributions, so I must reward them handsomely upon their return!
Of course, we cant forget the help of the Taoist Sect and the Fairy Yufei! No wonder, throughout the ages, every emperor who has received their help has eventually established an empire!
I am now confident that in the near future, I too will establish an empire and become a figure who will go down in history!
Hahahaha
Just at that moment, a soldier rushed in hurriedly: Your Majesty, an urgent report from eight hundred li away!
The laughter of the Great Luo Emperor came to an abrupt halt, and a bad feeling surged in his heart: What happened?
Report to Your Majesty, the northern expedition army led by Marshal Li Sifang was returning to the capital when suddenly the earth dragon turned over causing a collapse on Luofeng Highway. The army was caught in it and suffered heavy casualties!
At present, less than ten thousand have survived!
The Great Luo Emperor could hardly believe his ears and asked in a daze, What did you say? Say it again?
Report to Your Majesty The soldier repeated.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The Great Luo Emperor stood up abruptly, furious as thunder: Nonsense! How could my army be destroyed? It must be you, making a fool out of me, deceiving me! You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you understand? Now, speak again, and you must report the truth without any concealment!
The soldier immediately knelt down and kowtowed, presenting the battle report with trembling hands: Your Majesty, how dare I deceive you? It is indeed true, and if there is any falsehood, I am willing to accept military punishment!
The Great Luo Emperor felt a violent blow to his heart, and he was completely stunned.
why?
Why had the favorable situation turned out like this?
Why had heaven treated him this way?
Everyone was dead, and the food
Thats right, the food!
The Great Luo Emperor slapped his forehead and asked with hope, Is the food still there?
A lose-lose outcome!
This incident spread far and wide, and everyone in the world laughed to death at these two nations.
They fought for a month, only to fight for nothing!
Especially mocking Great Luo, they were the ones who sent the troops and they were the ones who suffered the losses! It was a truly disastrous defeat!
Its hard to know if the Great Luo Emperor can withstand such a blow!
Meanwhile, Song Yufei had already arrived at the edge of the deep pit, looking into its bottomless depths and at the bodies buried within. Her heart filled with compassion, and doubt once again surged.
Was the choice of the Taoist Sect the correct one?
Naturally, Lin Beifan was also aware of this matter.
Back when their Great Xia troops were conquering and plundering Great Feng, he had secretly set many traps within Great Fengs territory, prepared for any eventuality. He hadnt expected that they would actually come into use.
Activating one of them directly resulted in a one-way trip for the Great Luo soldiers and causing both Great Luo and Great Feng to suffer heavy losses.
After this battle, the Great Luo Dynastys national strength must have greatly diminished! Even with the support of the Taoist Sect, it will definitely not be easy for the Great Luo Emperor to recover! Sigh, its not that I want to target you, but with the Taoist Sects support behind your back, I have to be cautious!
Thinking about it, Lin Beifan started to feel a bit of pity: The Great Luo Emperor must be very heartbroken now, right? Maybe I should send something over to comfort him?
He conjured a tornado with his hands in the Empire Sandbox and tossed it into the territory of Great Luo.
Great Luo Emperor: (`)
After throwing the tornado, Lin Beifan felt refreshed, and his thoughts became clearer.
Those two women still owe me a favor, now its time to collect it back, hehehe!
