The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 125
Some said, Jiang Chen was not very experienced in raising the morale of his troops, but these words were very direct.
Moreover, the invasion of the Dark Moon Kingdom was an accumulation of hatred for generations between the two countries. He barely needed to do anything to inspire everyone to fight until the last moment, bleed to the last drop of blood, and kill to their last breath.
Under Jiang Chen's bracing words, one by one, the practitioners raised their hands to loudly exclaim and swore that they would be willing to follow Jiang Chen to death to keep the enemy outside the borders of the kingdom.
“Kill enemies! Kill enemies!”
Over ten thousand advanced practitioners exclaimed in unison, their voices shaking the clouds.
“Hahaha, this is interesting, most interesting.”
Suddenly there was a long laugh from the empty air. This laughter precisely pierced through the powerful cries of ten thousand people as if it was made of gold or stone, piercing through the air and piercing everyone's eardrums.
"Who is this?" Jiang Chen's brows furrowed as his Zephyr Ears moved slightly, His God's Eye had already shot towards the empty space in the east.
“Friends, let's go out.”
A green figure broke through the sky like lightning in the eastern air.
The air currents in the sky suddenly split rapidly into two sides, like the surface of the water being split apart by a speedboat.
The green figure became bigger and bigger. It was actually a ferocious beast with wings on its back. His fangs were monstrous and much larger than the Greenwing Swordbird.
The fat wings that covered the sky and covered the sunlight were even more towering and colossal than the wings of the Golden Winged Sword Bird.
A well-dressed young man was sitting behind this creature. Her jewelry was brilliant, she was carefree and comfortable even under the gaze of ten thousand people.
This guy's attitude is amazing. Although he looked only a year or two older than Jiang Chen, he exuded a slight mature attitude.
Judging from his training level, he seemed to have yet to break through the spirit dao, but he was undoubtedly at the peak of the true qi realm and was a true qi master of eleven meridians.
The young man's gaze was deep and deep. The ten thousand strong army was like a clay statue in front of him as he ignored them completely. His target was clear as he flew towards Jiang Chen.
“You are Jiang Chen?” The young man with an extraordinary attitude smiled faintly as he looked towards Jiang Chen, yet a sense of friendliness permeated his smile.
“I Jiang Chen's. Who are you, honorable?” Jiang Chen was a bit confused.
“Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Rong and I am from Skylaurel Kingdom.” The kind of self-confidence and ease that drives the submissiveness of others is constantly found in the smile of youth. The first impression he left on others was being able to evoke a sense of closeness to them.
“Kingdom Skylaurel?” Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of emotion. “If I remember correctly, the surname Ye is the national surname of Skylaurel Kingdom?”
“Heh heh, brother Jiang Chen spoke correctly. I am the fourth prince under the current king in the Skylaurel Kingdom.”
“Fourth Prince?” Jiang Chen smiled. “The kingdom of Skylaurel is hailed as one of the four great empires in the alliance of sixteen kingdoms. Their strength was domineering and their existence was among the peak sixteen kingdoms. Why take Prince Ye to this remote and backward place?”
Ye Rong chuckled. “Brother Jiang Chen is quite humble. There were currently many rumors and underground intelligence regarding Jiang Chen in the sixteen kingdoms. My intelligence path is a little wider so I received my knowledge a little earlier than the others.”
“Heh heh, so even Prince Ye also believed this dubious rumor?”
Ye Rong smiled, “At first I half believed and half doubted it, but.”
Ye Rong paused for a moment and turned his gaze to the ten thousand strong army, The proud Golden Wing Sword Birds and Silver Wing Sword Birds with their extremely curved necks and extremely excited fighting intent.
“I have no choice but to be a believer after I see this.” Ye Rong seemed quite happy. “Knowing someone based on their reputation is not as good as seeing them in person. Looks like I not only arrived early in this trip, I also came very precisely.”
Jiang Chen faintly furrowed his brows. “Prince Ye, I'm not sure if you came early or late, but I'm sure you came at an accidental time.”
“Haha, I think I came at the right time. Surely, the reason why brother Jiang Chen called for this swearing-in rally was to utilize the mobility of the Sword Bird to disturb the Dark Moon Kingdom army?”
"Hmm? How do you know this?” Jiang Chen really had this thought, but who would have thought that this young man would reveal the secrets of heaven with a single word?
“Heh heh, I would have done the same if I were Jiang Chen's brother. Great thinkers think the same."
Jiang Chen was a little impatient, “Prince Ye, please speak directly.”
“Heh heh, he who comes from far away is still a guest right? I want to request a cup of wine from brother Jiang.” Ye Rong still remained unhurried and unshakeable. “However, I will not just drink this wine and give nothing in return. I will give brother Jiang a strategy to repel the enemy. I'm sure this will be useful for you.”
It was impossible for Jiang Chen to throw away all his attention now that these words were spoken. After all, Ye Rong was the prince of a great country in the end, and his attitude was neither haughty nor arrogant.
He was friendly and polite and his attitude was actually quite good.
It would be a shame if Jiang Chen rejected such a person and chased them away thousands of miles away.
“Then respect us, Prince Ye. I'm afraid there is no decent wine to suit your noble taste in the mountains and wild plains like that.”
“When drinking with a best friend, a thousand cups is still too little. When we drink wine, we participate in the mood. As I see brother Jiang today, I am sure I will be satisfied even just by drinking the village drink.”
Needless to say, this Prince Ye seemed to radiate an attitude that made others feel like following him with every word he said. He is always able to speak to the hearts of his listeners.
“Alright, we are very satisfied!” Ye Rong turned her head back and finished her cup.
After they drank three cups, Jiang Chen put down his cup. “Prince Ye, the battle time cannot be delayed so let's shorten the long story.”
“Alright, then I will abbreviate what I want to say. I came here for two things this time. First, to help you defeat the enemy, and second, to invite you to develop your skills in My Skylaurel Kingdom.”
"Oh? How do you spell out these words?”
“These two items originally had nothing to do with each other. If we have to define a relationship, then the first item can be viewed as a greeting gift for the second item.”
Jiang Chen stared at Ye Rong indifferently, “Is there a reason for this?”
“The reason is simple. I admire you and need you. And you need a bigger stage. I don't want to speak worrisome words. I just want to say that going to the Skylaurel Kingdom is at least ten times better than staying in the Eastern Kingdom.”
Jiang Chen could not deny that.
The Skylaurel Kingdom was one of the four great empires in the sixteen kingdoms alliance. These four kingdoms were the peak of existence within the sixteen kingdoms, and were first-rate kingdoms.
The Darkmoon Kingdom was roughly a second-rate kingdom.
As for the Eastern Kingdom, it had always been between the second and third tier kingdoms. After this civil unrest, no doubt, this kingdom was a third-rate kingdom.
Therefore, there was no basis for comparison between the Eastern Kingdom and the Skylaurel Kingdom.
“Jiang Chen, from my investigation, I know that you are an arrogant man. I invite you to Skylaurel Kingdom not as a follower, but as a guest.”
"A guest?"
"Indeed. I know that arrogant men will never want to live under the auspices of others. Therefore, our relationship can be interpreted as a relationship between an employer and a worker, and not as a master and a servant.” Needless to say, Ye Rong was being very humble and full of sincerity.
“Why me?”
Ye Rong laughed meaningfully. “Jiang Chen, you are the same as me – gold buried in the sand, our sparkle hidden for a while. To be honest, I am only a second or third-rate prince in the Skylaurel Kingdom. There are at least four or five princes who are far superior to me. Not because they are better than me, but because their lives are good in the sense that they are born in a strong position. They had a good mother, while my biological mother was not of high standing and did not have a prominent family background. I have no supporters of any.”
“No supporters..” Jiang Chen remembered the feud between him and the Long family and remembered Long Juxue. When one spoke of supporters, he was really similar to Ye Rong in this aspect.
“Jiang Chen, you also have no supporters. I've heard that you've established a blood feud with one of the genius disciples of the Purple Sun Sect. This means that in your life, at least half of the great doors of the Sect have been closed to you. If you live in the Eastern Kingdom, it is impossible for you to attract the attention of the sects. However, if you come to the Skylaurel Kingdom, things will be different. As powerful as the Purple Sun Sect was, they would have no impact on the Skylaurel Kingdom because the royal backers behind the scenes were the Precious Tree Sect of the four big sects.”
The Precious Tree Sect was one of the few great sects that were on par and advanced shoulder to shoulder with the Purple Sun Sect.
“That is, if you display an exemplary performance in Skylaurel Kingdom and attract the attention of Precious Tree Sect, entering the Sect to practice is also a path. This way, you will not have to worry about being continuously watched over by the Purple Sun Sect in the future. With the protection of the Precious Tree Sect, it doesn't matter if you have offended a disciple of the Purple Sun Sect. In the sixteen kingdom alliance, the disciples of the Precious Tree Sect were on par with the disciples of the Purple Sun Sect.”
Ye Rong's tone of voice calmed down as she smiled and continued, “Therefore, the two of us are the same. We both need each other. Brother Jiang, I've gone through everything with you, please consider it for a moment.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and asked, “What strategy do you have to make enemies retreat?”
Ye Rong showed a meaningful smile. “My strategy is quite simple and crude, which is to kill the first general of the Dark Moon Kingdom, Ren Feilong.”
“Get the general leader of a million strong soldiers? This... do you consider me a dao spirit expert?”
“I know you are not a spirit dao practitioner, but you once fought against him. I have complete confidence in your abilities. However, you need help to kill Ren Feilong.”
“What help?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Of course spirit weapons.” On the sidelines of Ye Rong's smile, he suddenly took out an inked black bow as if he was demonstrating a trick.
This bow immediately exuded a seductive spirit qi presence when placed on the table.
Spirit bows? Jiang Chen's brows curved slightly.
He had no lack of theoretical knowledge about the world he reincarnated in, but only flaws in all kinds of hardware, weapons, pills, and various materials.
“This is a quadruple spirit weapon with incredible power. If Jiang Chen possesses this spirit weapon, it is not impossible for you to fight against Chu Xinghan.”
Jiang Chen was tempted, but suppressed his greed.
“If I accept this bow, does this mean I agree to serve you?” Jiang Chen asked softly.
“Both are separate things. Borrowing the bow takes precedence, we can discuss later in connection with your service to me. We can slowly consider various conditions.”
“We don't need to discuss further, I agree.” Jiang Chen somewhat approved of Ye Rong after testing her a few times. He knew that Ye Rong was sincere.
The Jiang family will definitely leave the Eastern Kingdom one day. As one of the strongest empires in the sixteen kingdoms alliance, the Skylaurel Kingdom would be a great place to settle down.
