Chapter 257 The Time Has Come, Let's Raise the Army Today!

“Plop.”

“Plop.”

“Plop.”

The viscous blood slowly dripped from the tip of the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade, the blood of the Third Prince and the Empress.

Everyone present was stunned, even the last remaining wizard from the Great Witch Kingdom was dumbfounded and at a loss.

What was going on? The Fourth Prince of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom had cleaved his own country's Empress and Third Prince with a single blow?

Qiao Yu's expression was very calm, as if he had just killed two pigs.

He didn't take the "repentance" of the Empress and Third Prince before their deaths to heart at all.

They simply hadn't realized their mistakes, only felt fear, and such people were not worthy of pity.

"You rebellious son! What have you done?!" Emperor Kang Shunzheng was the first to react, roaring with a thunderous voice.

Qiao Yu scratched his head in confusion.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the Third Prince and the Empress couldn't die at the hands of the Great Witch Kingdom's wizards? They didn't die at the hands of the wizards."

"You rebellious son! You rebellious son!"

Kang Shunzheng clutched his chest tightly, feeling a pain in his chest from anger.

"Your Majesty!"

The Prime Minister lengthened his voice, more shrill than an old eunuch, crying with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for the Third Prince and the Empress! We can't let them die in such an inexplicable way!"

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, "Oh, I almost forgot about you. I'll send you down right away."

However, before Qiao Yu could make a move, a light suddenly shone beneath the Prime Minister's feet, followed by a pillar of light soaring into the sky.

Boom!

The whole earth trembled, as if it had exploded, and the Prime Minister was directly blasted into nothingness.

Qiao Yu instantly turned his head to look at Yang Xiangdi, and sure enough, he saw Yang Xiangdi stealthily retracting a staff with a pink bow on it.

Yang Xiangdi grinned at Qiao Yu, then pointed at the remaining wizard and shouted, "You damned assassin, you dare to assassinate the Prime Minister!"

The wizard was dumbfounded. I clearly didn't do anything, where did this come from?

If I was that awesome, why would I be an assassin?

However, Qiao Yu and the others didn't give the wizard a chance to speak at all.

"Yi Jian Ge Shi (A Sword Separates the World)!"

Ma Fei struck a pose that he thought was very dashing, and stabbed the wizard directly through the top of his head with a sword.

At this point, all four wizards sent by the Great Witch Kingdom were annihilated, and the Prime Minister, Empress, and Third Prince unfortunately died for their country.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Kang Shunzheng suddenly coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"

Qiao Yu immediately approached him, now really afraid that Kang Shunzheng would suddenly kick the bucket.

"I heard what the Third Prince and the Empress said before their deaths. I wronged you. You have rendered meritorious service in saving me this time. Tell me, what do you want? I will reward you with anything."

Emperor Kang Shunzheng sighed, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Perhaps he really should abdicate and let someone more capable take the throne.

"Your Majesty, then I won't be polite. I want the position of Crown Prince that is rightfully mine!"

"I grant it!" Kang Shunzheng waved his hand, but he waited a long time without hearing Qiao Yu say anything else. A hint of doubt appeared on his face, "That's it? Nothing else?"

[Congratulations to player Qiao Yu for regaining the position of Crown Prince. Please protect the Scarlet Flame Kingdom from invasion as Crown Prince.]

"That's it! I just want the position of Crown Prince." Qiao Yu shrugged. He was just doing it to complete the task.

Kang Shunzheng's eyes became very complicated.

He originally thought that this Fourth Prince's sudden rebellion was really to rebel, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to regain the position of Crown Prince.

Perhaps he really misunderstood him too deeply.

"Then what are the Crown Prince's plans next?" Kang Shunzheng asked.

"Next? Next, you will name my mother, Consort Yang, as Empress, and then hold an Empress's enthronement ceremony."

Qiao Yu thought for a while.

"Then you will give me all the combat forces in the country. What is it called that can command the army? A tiger tally, right? Give it to me!"

Kang Shunzheng's expression changed again. The tiger tally could command all the armies of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom except for the Imperial Guards, and it was usually held in the hands of him, the Emperor.

Even when the Grand Marshal of the Army went on an expedition, the Emperor would only give him the left half of the tiger tally.

"What do you want the tiger tally for?" Kang Shunzheng asked.

"Of course, to go on an expedition to fight. In order to prevent the Great Witch Kingdom from invading, I will destroy them first!" Qiao Yu looked serious.

Kang Shunzheng: "..."

The civil and military officials: "..."

Afraid that the Great Witch Kingdom would invade, so destroy them first.

Listen to that, does that make sense?

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, you may lack some understanding of the national strength of the two countries."

An old man in armor stepped forward, somewhat ashamed.

He was the head of the military officials of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom, the Grand Commandant.

"The wizards of the Great Witch Kingdom are proficient in all kinds of terrible witchcraft. Recently, two peerless geniuses have emerged. Even if our Scarlet Flame Kingdom goes out in full force, it is estimated that we are not the opponent of the Great Witch Kingdom!"

The Grand Commandant said, unable to help but sigh, a sigh of helplessness at the reality.

"What if the Great Witch Kingdom has no wizards?" Qiao Yu's unexpected words made the Grand Commandant's chest rise and fall violently.

Qiao Yu was afraid that the old man would pass out in one breath.

"If the wizards of the Great Witch Kingdom do not come out, I guarantee that the army of the Great Witch Kingdom is like a lamb to the slaughter in front of our Scarlet Flame Kingdom!"

The Grand Commandant's eyes were red, and his words were sonorous.

"Crown Prince, is what you say true?" Kang Shunzheng also became excited. Which emperor doesn't want to expand the territory of his country?

"If I lie, then let the Second Prince come with his head!" Qiao Yu directly made a military pledge.

Ma Fei: "?"

"Okay, take it!" Kang Shunzheng threw a yellow thing at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu took it and saw that it was a tiger-shaped token made of gold.

What Kang Shunzheng gave was not half, but a whole tiger tally!

If Qiao Yu had the intention of rebelling at this time, he could directly mobilize all the armies of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom with this tiger tally.

"That's good! The time has come, let's start an army today!"

"Grand Commandant! Mobilize all combat forces, let's go!"

Qiao Yu was not polite with the Emperor, and was directly prepared to lead the army to set off.

The Grand Commandant's movements were also extremely fast. Early the next morning, the entire combat force of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom had been fully assembled.

"Go and inform His Highness, the Crown Prince, and say that the army has been assembled! We are just waiting for the Crown Prince to launch a pre-war military oath before we can set off!"

The Grand Commandant stared at two big dark circles under his eyes and stood in front of the Chonghua Palace. It could be seen that the old man had not slept all night.

"Grand Commandant... His Highness, the Crown Prince, has already left!" The little eunuch looked terrified.

"What did you say!! Where did the Crown Prince go?" The Grand Commandant grabbed the little eunuch's collar excitedly, spitting all over the other party's face.

"His Highness said that he would take the first step to solve all the wizards of the Great Witch Kingdom, and let the Grand Commandant gather all the armies, and then set off." The little eunuch trembled.

"Nonsense!!!" The Grand Commandant's face changed again and again.

That was the Great Witch Kingdom! His Highness, the Crown Prince, sneaked in alone, wasn't that courting death?

The Grand Commandant quickly completed the preparation of the army at the fastest speed, and then a mighty force attacked in the direction of the Great Witch Kingdom.

Qiao Yu would naturally not sneak in alone, he was accompanied by Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi.

And the three of them were already in the territory of the Great Witch Kingdom at this time.

"Brother Yu, is it really okay for the three of us not to wait for the army?" Yang Xiangdi was a little worried.

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? I didn't kill enough last time. I'm a few hundred experience points away from being promoted to the intermediate level. Don't rob me of experience later!" Ma Fei raised his head.

"Really? Weren't you the one who was chased around by the boss last time? A toad circling around a turtle - what are you pretending to be?" Yang Xiangdi curled his lips.

"You still dare to say that! If your Earth Burst Technique hadn't blown me up, could that boss have caught up with me?" Ma Fei got angry when he mentioned this.

Qiao Yu didn't listen to a word of their quarrel.

His deep blue eyes trembled slightly, and a gleam of fire was reflected in his eyes.

Surprisingly, that gleam of fire was actually dark black!
