Chapter 792: Guarding Fengmen Fortress
Shen Zheng nodded slowly and said something that did not surprise those in the court.
If someone else were to testify, many people would think that the credibility was not high, but Shen Zheng was different. He had just dueled with Ming Yuebai not long ago, and it was clear that they were hostile to each other.
Favorable testimony from the enemy's mouth has the highest credibility.
Mingyue smiled in vain, while Yue Mingguang was disappointed.
Shen Zheng glanced at each of them, his eyes seeming to say: I understand what you are thinking. [
Ming Yuebai had calculated that Shen Zheng still wanted to retain his own power to fight against the invasion of other worlds, so he forced him to prove his innocence.
Shen Zheng also understood Yue Mingguang's thoughts. The emperor wished that Shen Zheng and Ming Yuebai would fight to the death, so that his throne would not be threatened.
Because of this, Shen Zheng cannot defeat Ming Yuebai, otherwise Yue Mingguang's next target will be himself.
The delicate triangular balance is relatively safe and secure.
"While capturing Xuan Yilei, we also rescued a group of women." Shen Zheng said, "They come from two empires - the Holy Blood Empire and the Xiwu Empire. These are gifts from the two empires to Xuan Yilei. "
There was a commotion in the hall again, and there was endless discussion.
"Okay!" Yue Mingguang suddenly patted the throne and stood up. He looked around at everyone with a sullen face.
"I have known about this for a long time." He said, "The traitor is Xuanyu Liuguang himself. We originally planned to take a long-term plan and uncover the conspiracy of the Xiwu Empire at the same time when he came into contact with the spies of the Xiwu Empire, but we did not expect this. The traitor went so far that he blindly defied the Xiwu Empire and delayed our country from sending troops to support the third border area. The Generalissimo had no choice but to take action! He is responsible for his own fault and has nothing to do with the rest of the Xuan family - as long as you are loyal to Yue. The matter of Xuan Empire and Xuan Yu Liuguang will not involve you."
As he spoke, he nodded to Ming Yuebai: "Generalissimo, please immediately send someone to search Xuanyu Liuguang's home to see if you can find anything."
"Yes!" Ming Yuebai nodded and immediately led the people forward.
Here, the royal guards came to dispose of Xuanyu Liuguang's body - of course, there was only one head left in the body, which was easy to clean up.
Everyone in the court was waiting anxiously. Not long after, Ming Yuebai strode back and actually got something.
"Your Majesty, we have found a batch of special treasures from the Holy Blood Empire and the Xiwu Empire; a batch of space orbs with the special aura of the two countries' orb masters. There are also several letters of intention." He said while waving his hand from space The insect core moved these things to the main hall in front of everyone.
Several letters flew in front of Yue Mingguang. After that, Yue Mingguang became furious and threw the letters directly to the Xuan family present.
"Do it yourselves!" He roared angrily, "It's clearly written in it - the Xiwu Empire asked him to delay sending troops so that he could take the opportunity to attack the entire third border zone!"
"This is... true!" A veteran of the Xuan family exclaimed, holding the letter in his hand. "I have visited the Xiwu Empire with His Majesty. The power and breath of thought in this letter belong to Emperor Xiwu. It cannot be wrong!"
"Yes, it is indeed." Many people, including those from the Xuan family and other families, came together and after careful inspection, they found that it was indeed a letter generated by Emperor Xiwu's will, and it was definitely not a fake.
Although no letter written by Xuanyu Liuguang to the other party was found, these alone were enough to prove everything.
If anyone wants to make this fake, it is impossible because they cannot obtain the authentic work of Emperor Xiwu. [
Everyone in the Xuan family looked at each other and did not dare to speak out. The traitor's big hat is too heavy. Anyone knows that his neck cannot bear such weight.
The evidence is in front of us. Anyone who dares to defend Xuanyu Liuguang is tantamount to sympathizing with the traitor, or even being on the same level as the traitor. No one dared to speak out anymore. On the contrary, voices denounced Xuanyu Liuguang surged from everywhere, and the chief senator suddenly became a villain despised by thousands of people.
"Since the Xiwu Empire is indeed going to invade our country, we must start discussing sending troops." Yue Mingguang's voice was majestic, and everyone claimed yes.
After bypassing the Council of Elders and deliberation, Yue Mingguang directly issued the order to send troops. Ming Yuebai's gloomy expression finally softened, and he began to mobilize his troops.
"Sir Shen, please go to the front line this time." Yue Mingguang said to Shen Zheng alone, "I can't worry about Ming Yuebai being alone. Besides, even if my suspicions are eliminated, there is always a need for experts on the front line. "
"I will stay and help His Majesty guard the empire." Xinghui Lanhai said, "I have been away for long enough. As I get older, I also begin to miss my homeland and don't want to leave."
"In terms of appearance, you are even younger than me." Shen Zheng smiled.
"Are you kidding me?" Xinghui Lanhai grinned, "You are a fraction of my age and I can call you ancestor." After saying this, he burst out laughing.
"The way you said it, anyone else would have fought you tooth and nail." Shen Ying muttered to the side unhappily.
"Let's make some preparations and then go to the front line." Shen Zheng said to Shen Ying and others. "Go back to the Holy Alliance first and mobilize some troops. After all, there is strength in numbers."
"Okay." They nodded.
After agreeing on the specific details of the march, Shen Zheng said goodbye to Yue Mingguang and returned to the legendary secret realm. When Zi Yuanshang got married, more than 300 Holy Spirits rushed to the imperial capital to congratulate her, and they returned on their own after the wedding. At this time, Shen Zheng put them into the secret realm of water and fire, preparing to use them as a surprise force in war.
In addition, Shen Zheng did not bring more people. Almost half of the Holy Alliance's manpower was guarding the Xuexuan base, and the remaining half had to ensure the safety of the legendary secret realm. Shen Zheng couldn't help but sigh that he still didn't have enough soldiers available.
However, with Shen Ying's reminder, he remembered the holy beasts of the Xuexuan Realm, so he went to the Xuexuan Realm in person and transferred another 50,000 strong men from the five major holy spirit clans. In this way, the scale of the legion was truly formed.
After all this was over, more than ten days had passed. Shen Zheng did not dare to delay any longer, and directly loaded the legion into the Water and Fire Secret Realm and flew towards the third border defense zone. At this time, he had become a famous person in the Yuexuan Empire. Wherever he passed, no one stopped him. The chiefs of each defense zone learned that he was passing through their territory, and they specially lined up to welcome and send him off.
When Shen Zheng rushed to the third defense zone, Ming Yuebai had already arranged a large army here. When Shen Zheng entered his headquarters, he was concentrating on arranging the army's deployment. After everything was done, he came to see Shen Zheng.
"Sorry, you're here too. I'm really too busy." Ming Yuebai moved his neck, making a clicking sound, obviously really tired.
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zheng said. "You are the Grand Marshal, everything here is under your command. You should arrange what I should do."
"Okay." Ming Yuebai nodded, not mentioning the grudge between the two. "The Xiwu Empire is moving very quickly. Many outer fortresses have been captured by their army, and they will soon approach the inner circle. This is very dangerous. There is a fortress near the middle layer of the outer circle, called Fengmen Fortress, which is very important."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to take out the star map, unfolded it in the air to Shen Zheng, and pointed out the fortress.
"You are here. After it falls, the three military bases behind will be within the reach of the enemy immediately." He said, "But the current manpower is really insufficient. Over the years, due to the restrictions of the Senate, the number of our troops has been reduced again and again. When facing such a large-scale invasion, it is already stretched to its limits. So..."
"Do you need me to guard it?" Shen Zheng asked. [
"The fortress itself has 30,000 soldiers." Ming Yuebai said, "But they are all soldiers who lack training and have limited combat effectiveness. Can you do it? If you feel danger, I can find another way. After all, you were assigned by His Majesty..."
He smiled slightly: "Watch me."
"No." Shen Zheng shook his head. "My existence is not to attack anyone, but to protect. In the future, I will protect our plane, and now it is our empire."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Ming Yuebai nodded and waved to call his adjutant.
"Take Sir Shen to Fengmen Fortress and take over the place in full."
"Yes!" The adjutant saluted solemnly and respectfully invited Shen Zheng to the fast passage in the command center. He entered one of them with him. Soon after, he came to a secret realm with a suspended fortress.
This secret realm is similar to ordinary fortress-type secret realms. There is no special decoration. In the entire secret realm, there are only two defensive fortresses except for the virtual space.
As soon as the two of them came out of the express passage, an officer came up to greet them and saluted Ming Yuebai's adjutant solemnly: "Hello, sir!"
"This is Sir Shen." The adjutant pointed at Shen Zheng. "It's that Sir Shen Zheng."
"What?" The officer was startled, and his expression became more respectful. He straightened his chest and shouted at Shen Zheng excitedly: "Hello Sir Shen! I am the commander of Fengmen Fortress, Huan Zhenhong!"
Then he saluted with a very standard military salute.
"Hello." Shen Zheng smiled faintly.
"According to the order of the Grand Marshal, Sir Shen will take over here in full. You must obey Sir Shen completely and guard this important fortress." The adjutant said.
"Yes!" Huan Zhenhong was a little excited and saluted again.
"Sir Shen, then I'll leave first." The adjutant saluted Shen Zheng, retreated to the express passage, and went back to the command center.
"I heard that there are 30,000 troops here?" Shen Zheng asked Huan Zhenhong.
"Yes." Huan Zhenhong nodded hurriedly, "I will gather them now to listen to your lecture! They will be so excited to death if they know that it is Sir Shen who is here to lead us."
"Isn't that too exaggerated?" Shen Zheng smiled.
"Not at all!" Huan Zhenhong said excitedly, "You defeated Xinghui Lanhai, the old and top powerhouse of the empire, in the imperial capital, and tied with the legendary commander of the empire, Mingyue Bai. This has spread in the army. We don't have the opportunity to fight with Marshal Mingyue Bai on the battlefield, but being able to fight side by side with you is enough to be a lifetime honor."
Shen Zheng smiled faintly: "Gather them."
"Yes!" Huan Zhenhong saluted and went immediately.
"Mingyue Bai is very famous in the army. If he is overthrown, it will not be a good thing to come." Shen Zheng thought secretly.
