Chapter 875 Battle At The Border
Most of the people had dispersed from the banquet.
Sean was sitting at a table with a large bottle of beer in his hand.
“You want to go out with me?”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Aren’t you going to the south this time? Coincidentally, I also need to go there so that we can set off together.”
“That’s not a problem, but are you leaving soon? I might leave in two days.”
“If it’s two or three days away, it’s not a problem. Alright, we’ll set off together.”
Sean nodded to that. “All the neighboring countries must have heard the news. The enemy’s attack on the front line has recently increased, so I’m afraid I have to work harder after this.”
“It’s a pity that my weapon is gone. It will not be easy to fight…”
He sighed helplessly, took a big gulp of beer, and let out a burp.
Lu Yu replied without hesitation, “I’ll help you withstand one wave of enemy attacks. It should be able to help you relieve some pressure.”
Sean slapped the table and said excitedly, “I was waiting for you to say this. If that’s the case, we’ll set off tomorrow!”
“Hehe, those bastards! I can’t wait to deal with them when I get back!”
He was filled with anticipation as he rubbed his palms together.
“Sure, we’ll set off tomorrow.”
Lu Yu didn’t want to waste more time either and wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.
After the coronation ceremony, Elizabeth moved to the Royal Golden Hall.
The magnificent golden hall was where the Empress would deliberate on state affairs. It was effectively the Empress’ exclusive office.
It was stuffed with confidential information about the entire empire. Now that Elizabeth was Empress, these confidential details would be available only to her.
After roughly reading through some of the pressing information, she visited the army. The royal army was an elite force in the Lionheart Empire that only listened to the presiding ruler.
After meeting these people, Elizabeth began to familiarize herself with the various departments of the royal family.
Today was the busiest day of Elizabeth’s life, and it was only the beginning.
Lu Yu rested for another night. The next morning, Lu Yu followed General Sean out of the city.
After bidding farewell to Elizabeth and Han Xuefei, Lu Yu stepped out of the palace gates.
General Sean rode on his mount and walked on Emperor’s Avenue, followed by a group of his most loyal officers.
Lu Yu followed the group and left Lionheart City along Emperor’s Avenue.
They arrived outside the city and soon arrived at the outpost city.
They were back in that familiar martial arts field. The damage from the battle two days ago had yet to be completely repaired.
Standing in the middle of the training ground, the array formation mage began to open the teleportation portal.
“Soon, we’ll be heading to the border, Scorpion City. It’s a city next to a tropical rainforest, hot and humid, with many snakes and insects.”
“Who are your opponents?” Lu Yu asked curiously.
“Further south, there is a country known as the Southern Eagle Kingdom. It is a tenth of the size of the Lionheart Empire, but it has always been restless. It has been coordinating attacks against us with several neighboring countries.”
“We’re age-old rivals, fighting for who knows how long.”
At this moment, the teleportation portal was completely open.
General Sean took the lead and walked into the portal, with his subordinates following behind.
Lu Yu also entered the portal, teleporting to another place with a flash of light.
A wave of hot and humid air hit him, causing sweat to appear on Lu Yu’s forehead.
General Sean and the others stood in a vast square.
Around them, two squads had come up to welcome the arrival of General Sean.
“Welcome back, General!”
One of them rushed up and reported nervously, “Lord General, the army of the Southern Eagle Empire has begun to gather again. I’m afraid they will launch an attack soon; we must be fully prepared!”
“That’s right, they allied with a few other countries and sent their troops to besiege us. I think it’s best if we request the royal family for reinforcements and gather more troops. Otherwise, it will be dangerous!”
After Sean heard their words, he did not think much of them. Of course, he didn’t think he was strong enough to deal with all of them.
It was because Lu Yu himself was here. Once Lu Yu made a move, the enemies before them would be done with easily.
Looking at Sean’s unworried look, the two reporting officers were a little confused.
The soldiers around them all had tense expressions, knowing a great battle was about to begin.
“General, we have to take action as soon as possible! Otherwise, this city will be lost!”
Sean just chuckled. “Don’t worry. The enemy will not return after this after we take them down unscathed!”
These words were arrogant, but these subordinates did not dare say them out loud. They only tried their best to persuade General Sean.
“General, I’m worried we don’t have the strength to do so. This time, they have gathered more than enough people and many top-notch cultivators.”
“So what? We have someone strong on our side too!”
Everyone was at a loss after hearing this.
How many people in the world could be praised by General Sean as strong?
“General, what do you mean?”
Sean looked at Lu Yu and said confidently, “This is my friend, Lu Yu!”
“As long as he acts, the enemy will be annihilated and completely defeated!”
At that moment, everyone looked at Lu Yu.
“General, your friend just graduated from university?”
“Has he passed his internship? Are you sure about this?”
“His combat experience is probably not as rich as yours. Can he really help us defeat the enemy?”
“Although you can’t judge a book by its cover, he’s still too young. The battlefield is no child’s play.”
Lu Yu looked at the crowd and said, “Empress Elizabeth is my friend. She ascended the throne with my help. Do you understand now?”
Lu Yu’s words were not to prove his strength but to tell these people that Elizabeth had strong backing. It was this backing that would soon help them defeat the enemy.
Lu Yu was here to help Sean fight the enemy because he wanted to help Elizabeth establish her prestige.
Everyone looked at Lu Yu and understood his underlying meaning.
In other words, Elizabeth could become Empress because of his support. Such an ability was not something that ordinary people could possess.
“I know you don’t believe me, but I’ll say it here. We do not need to make any preparations before the battle. Lu Yu can solve everything!”
General Sean declared this with confidence. No matter how many questions these people had, they had no choice but to believe him.
In their eyes, Lu Yu represented Empress Elizabeth, even though he was a stranger to them.
Lu Yu turned to look at General Sean and asked, “Where is the enemy camp?”
