Zhan Long Chapter 1162: Conquering the islands

Chapter 1162: Conquering the islands

"But..."

After Frost nodded, she said, "I heard that some adventurers had moved into the eastern islands so they might be stronger than we think. I want you to build war s.h.i.+ps and I will send out a gathering order to call more adventurers to attack the eastern islands with you. You have to take these islands down."

I thought about it and said, "Royal Army is Tian Ling Empire's army so I need to get Lochlan's permission. After taking down the islands, they would belong to Tian Ling Empire but the resources will be given to Dragon City. Is that okay?"

"En, you can decide that, go make your preparations!"

"Okay!"

...

In the next moment, a system bell rang in the sky--

"Ding!"

System notification: Players please note, Dragon City has sent out a recruitment notice and will recruit large amounts of players to battle the eastern islands. The war s.h.i.+ps will open at 12. Players who want to join in, head towards Dragon City and speak to any NPC to gain a spot. Upper limit of 200 thousand!

...

200 thousand people along with Royal Army's NPC. Over 300 thousand people, knew if we would be able to take those islands down.

At that point, Li Mu's voice spread out in the channel--

"Xiao Yao, you triggered this right?"

I, "En, why?"

Li Mu said, "Based on what I know, after the j.a.panese and Korean players were defeated in Green Rock City, a portion of them headed to Ice and Fire Plains while some headed towards Moon City. There was a portion that headed towards the islands, around 1.5 million of them. They are spread out around the few larger islands. Now that we are attacking the islands, we would definitely face them."

"1.5 million, so many..." I was stunned, "It seems like there is a need to use the Dragon’s Den army in Fan Shu City."

w.a.n.g Jian smiled, "Are we going to smash the defeated dogs?"

Dancing Forest said, "Seems like it, we are removing their last bit of footing."

"Not only that." Li Meng Yao smiled, "A few hours later, there is also a recruitment order. Fang Ge Que triggered a quest to head to Sea of No Return to attack the Sea Demon Race. Recently they have joined the Hybrid Demons."

I said, "Anyways, Zhan Long should just join the battle of the islands, the pros are more than the cons. I am heading over to prep."

"En!"

...

I took out the City Return Scroll and headed back to Tian Ling City.

Mei'er pulled my cape and chased me, "Brother, wait for me."

How was she like a mount at all!

I helplessly kept her in my mount s.p.a.ce and then chatted with her. After a few minutes, she looked a little tired and she fell asleep sweetly in my pet s.p.a.ce.

I headed towards the palace and dashed right in. The moment I walked in, I noticed that there were many important generals and officials. When I entered, Lochlan stood up and smiled, "Master Li is back!"

I said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

Lochlan smiled, "Master Li, we are deciding how to reward the generals that fought off Azure. What do you think?"

I looked at the merit form in The Executor interface.

I said, "Fire Dragon Army General Tan Taiyu, Heaven Barrier Army General Lin Qiong contributed the most so Your Majesty should just reward them accordingly."

Lochlan nodded, "Men, promote Tan Taiyu and Lin Qiong to Commander in chief!"

Another two, Lochlan really was generous.

I thought about it and added, "Autumn Harvest Army performed well during the Moon City battle. General Liang Yin did well and he should be rewarded too. I think the Ministry of War is lacking a minister so why not promote Liang Yin to that. Autumn Harvest Army will return to deputy Zhou Ning. What does Your Majesty think?"

Actually, Drunken Spear was definitely stronger than Liang Yin without a doubt.

Lochlan nodded, "Okay, whatever Master Li says. Liang Yin is promoted to minister of Ministry of War and then Zhou Ning is promoted to Autumn Harvest Army General, he is also given the rank Country Guarding General!"

Liang Yin was promoted but actually he was deomoted. Drunken Spear wasn't here but he definitely received the notification. He sent me a message, "I finally have power in my hands, thank you Xiao Yao!"

"No worries, continue to get busy."

"Okay!"

...

After seeking power for Drunken Spear, I said, "Ice Ridge Mountain, Sea of No Return, from Moon City to Ba Huang City, they belong to us. Further east, the islands aren't ours and they have even joined Swirling Abyss City. That is such a huge waste of land and resources so I want to lead the Royal Army to attack the islands and collect the hundreds of islands for the kingdom. I also would like to provide food and weapons to Dragon City. Does Your Majesty have any objections?"

Lochlan said, "The islands are complicated so Master Li needs to be careful. Dragon City and us are connected so we do need to help them. As The Executor, go ahead, I have no qualms."

"Thank you Your Majesty!"

I turned around to the officials and an old man ran over. He smiled, "The Executor do you have instructions?"

"Tian Ling City East Ocean, Deer Lake, War G.o.d River, how many s.h.i.+ps are there?" I asked.

He smiled widely and said, "During these few months the empire has focused on building war s.h.i.+ps and transport s.h.i.+ps. We have 800 and 200 are currently being built."

I smiled, "Within three days they have to be completed and sent to the east, do you understand?"

"Yes The Executor!"

...

I looked towards the s.h.i.+ps that Royal Army had, there were 200 of them and each s.h.i.+p could ferry 500 people. This meant that most of Royal Army could be brought over.

As for players, let them sit on the ones being built. This time we were using nearly all the s.h.i.+ps within Tian Ling Empire and if we didn't stick Tian Ling Empire's flags on the islands we wouldn't return. This was an event-type mode so I wasn't worried we would lose.

Unless... Unless Nine Heavens City played a part but Demon Mountain wouldn't be so dumb.

Night, I headed to War G.o.d River and ordered Royal Army to bring enough Dragon Crystal Cannons and cannonb.a.l.l.s. Each of the main s.h.i.+ps had a G.o.d Dragon Cannon. With such a G.o.d weapon, we weren't afraid that the islands wouldn't yield. Late at night, the 200+ s.h.i.+ps of Royal Army headed towards the east sh.o.r.e. Everyone was preparing for battle.

A little later, I returned to Dragon City. I also obtained the use of 30 dragonriders from Frost. Qing Luo would lead them to follow me. For these 30 dragonriders, we prepared 10 s.h.i.+ps for them!

...

Late at night, I saw that the number of members had reached 200 thousand. 50 thousand of which were from Zhan Long. Zhan Long members were familiar with Dragon City and were training nearby so they headed over too quickly. When other guilds were hesitating, I had already rushed the players to join.

Late at night, I felt exhausted so I called Lin Wan Era and Dong Cheng Yue to head offline to rest.

...

When I woke up it was already close to noon. I didn't set an alarm so that I could sleep a little longer. I spent 3 days at Beichen Guan and used up nearly all of my energy.

When I woke up, Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue were here too. This made me remember that today was a weekend and they didn't need to work. Good, I could drag them to the islands.

Noon, after a full meal, I went online at 11:40!

...

When we arrived at the docks of Tian Ling City and Ba Huang City, there were already a huge group of people. All the players had headed up the boats and the s.h.i.+ps slowly left the dock. Li Mu, w.a.n.g Jian, Old K etc were hundred meters out and they greeted us.

Lin Wan Er pouted, "What are they happy about, scoff..."

Dong Cheng Yue asked, "Do we need to queue?"

"No need."

I looked at the two of them and said, "Follow me to Royal Army's main s.h.i.+p, three more people should be fine."

"Okay!"

The two girls felt like they had special privileges and followed me to Royal Army's dock. Han Yuan and Xiao Lie waited respectfully and smiled at Lin Wan Er, "Infanta good afternoon!"

Lin Wan Er smiled, "Great."

The two generals rubbed their hands in joy, they felt as if their faces were s.h.i.+ning.

"Head on the s.h.i.+p, head out."

"Yes!"

...

A few minutes later, I was standing on Royal Army's main s.h.i.+p and was the main commander. 1052 s.h.i.+ps appeared on my The Executor interface and I could see the route too. But not everyone was ready as we still needed to head towards the deep ocean before we could spread out.

More and more players appeared and the s.h.i.+ps appeared on the ocean. At around 12:20, there was a beep and The Executor's interface reminded me that everyone was ready. There was a dragon roar as 30 dragonriders circled above to guard us.

A loud cannon fired as s.h.i.+ps raised their sails. Head out!
