Chapter 453 Date of Death · One Person and One City
It was about 50 kilometers from the Rekvia castle to Recchi City.
The truck of the Snowdance Corps was parked at the foot of the mountain.
Li Tianlan and the others got into the modified carriage, which was like a headquarters. It was not until they were halfway there that he listened to Li Zonghu’s report and understood the whole process of this march.
In the straight-line distance of nearly 800 kilometers from Eyme to Recchi City, the 3,000 elites at the front of the Snowdance Corps marched forward at dawn. It took them 15 hours to cross the borderline between Ross State and Oga State and enter Wulan State.
As a result, the war broke out.
The 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps had dashed around madly in Wulan State, regardless of the consequences. In the end, a miracle war took place in the war history of nearly a hundred years.
They were invincible and stained with blood all the way.
In less than five hours, 3,000 people had cut through three large armies of Wulan State—a joint corps, a heavy-fire corps, and a field corps that were known as the elites of Wulan State.
The price to create this miracle was 3,000 elites. To be specific, there were a total of 3,181 elites from the Snowdance Corps. And after they arrived in Recchi City, there were only 537 people left.
In this battle, more than 80 percent of the people were killed.
Under the suppression of weapons and cannons all over the sky, they had defeated 60,000 enemies!
Li Zonghu had not retreated.
None of the Snowdance Corps had retreated.
They had gone forward bravely.
The morale of the army was as strong as iron.
This was the true invincible army in the world!
Just as Dongcheng Wudi had once said in the Border Control Corps, this was an army without any retreat or end.
Now, these people had come to the Snowdance Corps. There was still no retreat or so-called end in the land of Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan subconsciously clenched his hands together. Listening to Li Zonghu’s report, he did not say anything for a long time.
2,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps.
Their predecessor was the Thunderbolt Battalion, which was all hidden in the armies of the Border Control Corps by Dongcheng Wudi.
The Thunderbolt Battalion was the most elite troop in Zhongzhou State.
Zhongzhou State was the most powerful country in the world.
Therefore, the Thunderbolt Battalion could be said to be the most elite and powerful troop in the world.
At its peak, there were no more than 20,000 soldiers in the Thunderbolt Battalion.
Dongcheng Wudi had hidden half of it.
Now, it was only a battle in Eastern Europe, but in one day, more than one-fifth of the casualties had been caused!
The light in Li Tianlan’s eyes gradually changed. An indescribable emotion rose in his heart. It was a kind of indescribable savageness and cruelty.
He stared quietly at the big screen in the carriage.
On the big screen was an image of the streets of Recchi City at this time.
The whole city was extremely silent. Fires were burning on the streets and debris was scattered everywhere. The corpses were silent and the blood was flowing quietly.
Li Tianlan looked at Recchi City outside, and his eyes were extremely cold.
He heard light footsteps.
Dongcheng Rushi, who had simply treated Li Tianlan’s wound, walked over with light footsteps. She put a piece of candy into Li Tianlan’s mouth and whispered, “Here you are.”
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment. With the milk candy stuffed in his mouth, he suddenly felt a little confused.
All the people present were a little confused.
The milk candy was very sweet.
Li Tianlan swallowed his saliva, coughed, and looked around.
Lin Youxian, who looked a little tired and pale, was smoking in the corner. Seeing Li Tianlan’s glance, he threw a cigarette to Li Tianlan.
As soon as Li Tianlan reached out his hand, a small white and tender hand suddenly reached out to pick up the cigarette.
Li Tianlan glanced at Dongcheng Rushi.
Dongcheng Rushi thought for a moment, put away the cigarette, and took out another piece of milk candy.
“…”
The corner of Li Tianlan’s mouth twitched. He stood up and went straight over to the silent and calm middle-aged general in the corner. “General, thank you.”
He had used 3,000 people to defeat the 60,000 enemies.
Such a miracle, of course, showed that the Thunderbolt Battalion of the Border Control Corps was invincible in the world. But if there were not enough elites to support it, the result today would undoubtedly be more tragic.
General of Nine Heavens, Yi.
Li Wangsheng, the Lieutenant General of the Nine Provinces.
Lin Youxian.
Dongcheng Rushi.
Xu Chu.
And two groups of the most mysterious Terracotta Army in Zhongzhou State.
All of them combined together to produce the results in this war that was enough to make everyone stunned.
Yi glanced at him and slowly shook his head as he said calmly, “It’s my duty.”
Li Tianlan nodded. The other party’s attitude was not cold. Perhaps this kind of calm attitude was the real neutral attitude.
He patted Li Wangsheng’s shoulder firmly, slowly turned around, and said, “Hurry up. Let’s go to the Office of the President.”
The truck carrying the elites of Zhongzhou State suddenly roared and began to speed up.
Li Tianlan stood steadily in front of the huge screen of the carriage, deep in thought.
On August 7th in Eastern Europe, which was both an ordinary and unusual night, under countless gazes, two things almost shook the whole Dark World at the same time.
An Invincible Realm expert died!
And the fall of Wulan State.
In one day, Jiang Qiannian, Black Ghost, and Chaos—the three Invincible Realm elites—had died.
The Jiang family of South America, which had suffered heavy losses, became the first superpower to completely withdraw from the chaos of Eastern Europe.
The Snowdance Corps, from top to bottom, showed a sharpness that made most people shudder.
Two Invincible Realm elites had been killed by Li Tianlan.
This year, Li Tianlan was just 22 years old and had yet to enter the Invincible Realm.
The Snowdance Corps led by him had even completed a grand feat of running hundreds of kilometers for an attack and defeating 60,000 people of Wulan State, Ross State, Oga State in a day.
After this battle, Ross State and Oga State with their weak strength had a bleaker future.
In Wulan State, well known for its vast territory and abundant resources in Eastern Europe, two of its four national armies were directly destroyed. In just a few hours, in the face of the elites of the Snowdance Corps, Wulan State had almost lost its war potential over the next 10 years.
It was not until this time that Li Tianlan really felt that the general trend, which was enough to sweep everything away, was roaring around him. In the general trend, he was no longer a powerless bystander. He had already controlled the power that was enough to be respected, and had already had the qualifications to try to control the general trend.
Li Tianlan’s eyes changed from having a look of cruelty to calmness.
His voice resounded in the carriage.
“Inform Wulan State, Oga State, and Ross State that I’ll give them three days.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “Ask the senior leaders of their military to escort the bodies of the victims of the Snowdance Corps to Recchi City.”
His voice was spoken one word at a time with blood-stained coldness and majesty. “2,644 corpses. In three days, if they lose even one, I will destroy one town. If they lose one group, I will destroy one city!”
At this moment, Li Tianlan was extremely quiet. But his whole body was full of killing intent.
Li Zonghu gave a grim smile and nodded. “Got it.”
Li Tianlan swallowed the candy in his mouth and said blandly, “Contact Chen Qingluan.”
Chen Qingluan was the deputy commander of the Snowdance Corps, but he had always been outside the operation. Li Tianlan, who had absolute military power, was in Eastern Europe. It was just a matter of a word to turn Chen Qingluan into a decoration.
Of course, Chen Qingluan’s position was there. When it was appropriate, it would not be too difficult if he wanted to turn himself into a knife that pierced into Li Tianlan’s heart.
What Li Tianlan needed to do now was stay away from the knife.
The communications soldier beside the big screen silently sent a signal.
Chen Qingluan, who had been paying close attention to the situation in Wulan State all day long, quickly picked up the call.
His face appeared on the screen. Although he was smiling, the smile looked a little far-fetched.
“Your Highness, you were really amazing in Recchi City. You have earned prestige for Zhongzhou State and the Snowdance Corps in this battle. Qingluan admires you.”
Chen Qingluan saluted Li Tianlan with a standard military posture. After this sentence, his expression completely returned to normal.
Li Tianlan did not bother to look at his face. He smiled blandly and said, “It’s because I have you as the deputy commander in the back. So I don’t have to worry about anything.”
Chen Qingluan smiled with a complicated meaning. Obviously, he did not want to say too many polite words to Li Tianlan. So he asked directly, “What can I do for you, Your Highness?”
“Two things.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “First of all, the two Sword Masters, Fire Man and Mount Shu, went out of the city to help the Snowdance Corps enter Recchi City. Fire Man is seriously injured and needs to go back to Eyme to recuperate. He is old. Please take good care of him carefully, Deputy Commander.”
Chen Qingluan’s expression froze for a moment.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was.
After his mind froze for a moment, he nodded subconsciously.
“The second thing. Soon, I will mobilize some of the elite forces of the Snowdance Corps to Wulan State. The number… is about 10,000. I will sign a transfer order, and I will communicate with Arctic Ocean Command regarding the equipment. As for Eyme, it is also very important. It is the first base of our garrison in Eastern Europe. We can’t afford to lose it. I believe in Deputy Commander’s ability. When I am absent, I have to trouble you to take care of Eyme.”
Chen Qingluan finally understood what was wrong.
Now Li Tianlan had taken over Wulan State. So all the interests that Zhongzhou State had in Eastern Europe would be transferred to Wulan State.
There would be a lot of benefits and opportunities. Not only was the military transferred to the other side, but also Zhongzhou State’s countless rich families and even the gray businesses would try to share a piece of the pie. There was no doubt that it would be a feast.
But this banquet had nothing to do with him, Chen Qingluan!
Li Tianlan transferred 10,000 men of the Snowdance Corps again. With the 5,000 men that Li Zonghu had taken away, Li Tianlan almost took away all his trusted subordinates. As for the 5,000 people left behind in Eyme, they were all under Chen Qingluan’s command.
In two simple sentences, Li Tianlan actually left him directly in Eyme?!
“No way!” Chen Qingluan suddenly said. His voice was very loud. There seemed to be a moment of excitement in his emotion.
.
“Hmm?”
Li Tianlan laughed.
“Your Highness, I think I should go to Recchi City now. The situation there is complicated. Maybe I can help…”
“No need.”
Li Tianlan calmly interrupted Chen Qingluan. “Deputy Commander, you stay in Eyme. That is the greatest help to me.”
On the surface, his meaning was very simple.
The internal meaning was even simpler.
Chen Qingluan’s expression changed. He gritted his teeth and continued to say, “Your Highness, I have to go to Recchi City. I have something to report to His Majesty Sword Emperor.”
“What is the matter? I can convey it on your behalf.”
Li Tianlan did not give in.
“This matter is related to Beihai…”
“Deputy Commander.”
Li Tianlan’s eyes became cold. “Remember your identity. You are now the deputy commander of the Snowdance Corps, not a high-level member of the Beihai Corps. Beihai Province has a strong foundation. What do you need to worry about? What you need to do most now is defend Eyme.
“And as for your personal affairs, I will find a chance to communicate with the Sword Emperor. Just wait for the news.”
Chen Qingluan’s whole body trembled slightly. He was so angry that he laughed.
He looked at the indifferent but young and somewhat immature face on the screen and could not help saying, “I don’t think my business is a private matter. Your Highness, whether you agree or not, I have to go to Recchi City!”
“You have the right to choose.”
Li Tianlan nodded. “It’s an order to stay in Eyme. You can choose to obey the order and then we can live in peace. Or you can disobey the military order and I’ll enforce the military law.”
Before Li Tianlan reached out his hand to hang up the communication, he said coldly, “Deputy Commander, take care of yourself.”
